Got a birthday reward for $5 off as member. Drove 30 mins there and was told the manager is not there so cannot approve the birthday reward. Is this be sth to apply when entering My phone number in the system? So stupid. Who knows this coupon has "manager present condition"?! Also drinks are super expensive. A large falvor tea costs more than 8 dollar after tax. read more

Writing this follow up review to recommend their Taiwanese braised pork rice (魯肉飯 or 滷肉飯）!! Having researched and visited over a dozen braised pork rice specialty restaurants in Taiwan, I consider myself somewhat educated on this dish. Their braised pork is cooked just right with pork belly and spices -- definitely the BEST I've had in Los Angeles! Try their combo, which is around $18 but that includes a green tea (great tasting, another one of the best) and taxes! read more

Service this is really nice. The person who take orders is really kind enough to tell which drink is good which drink is not. I was looking for a sour drinks and the person recommend me plum lemon. But to be honest this properly, the worst thing that I have ever drink. It's crazy sweet and have the sugar free tastes, the sweet stuck to my throat just by only 1 sip. Sadly i have to leave the whole drink. Maybe other stuffs is nice here but definitely not the one i just ordered today. read more

Tea Station Express - Bubble Tea Near Me - Temple City, California

Tea station is usually very pricey, this place is in the plaza of the Dive restaurant and Baekjong. So after your meal might as well fill up on a sweet drink! Ordering can be done with a person or on a tablet! I got a half sweet no ice brown sugar milk tea with boba, regular size. My cousin ordered a large and my goodness it was pretty big! I usually order a regular milk tea, but I wanted to try their boba and brown sugar type. Their boba that day was soft, chewy, and sweet! It was definitely great compared to other places I've been. There is very little seating options (a few tables and seats), but as an express option it does a quick service and convenience. It wasn't busy, so can't really say it's quick if it does get as busy as a line out the door (which is what I usually see). Parking is not as great, best to find a spot underground than to compete for a parking near the stores. Stairways are tight out of tea station, so very convenient for going downstairs to the parking garage. read more

I got the mini boba milk tea and loved it. The tea was smooth, not too sweet, and the mini boba had a great chewy texture. Quick service and good quality--I'll definitely be back. read more

Have not been to a tea station in years... with all these new boba places opening, tea station has a lot of competition. I ordered a medium size boba milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice, drink was $7.25 Prices are expensive and the drink was too sweet compared to sunright. It didn't taste like the sweetness was being adjusted. Taste like 100% reg sugar to me. Would not come again. read more

I was craving a tea, something more on the milky side of things so I came in very quickly to get a winter melon milk tea and it was delicious. I did say 25% sweet but it felt like 75% sweet. Only $7 for this huge cup, I couldn't even finish the entire drink. I was in and out in less than 4 minutes. I love how solid Tea Station is! read more

Wow.... After lunch from Summer Rolls then try the new tea shop here. That's crazy busy at 2pm. We get $4 mini boba milk tea and jasmine green milk tea about 5-6 dollars with free topping. I will be back. Love it read more

Matcha milk tea 5/5 - I really liked the matcha flavor in this. I can tell it was high quality matcha. It is a big more runny than I thought it would be vs milky but still good! It is more expensive here for their milk teas and boba but I think their quality is a lot better than other places. read more

Tea Station has always been a consistent staple in this plaza! Although I haven't been to TStation for awhile, this experience was so positive and reminded me of why it is definitely a good option for drinks! I got a simple large honey green milk tea and although it was on the pricier side ($8), I did overall enjoy its flavor. The menu is extensive, giving a variety of options to its guest. Service was efficient, but not much engagement as you order through the kiosks. However, it seemed like the workers would be willing to adjust the drinks as needed (saw them do so for another guest), so that's awesome! TStation is located in a pretty busy plaza, but there were a few tables and chairs indoors and outdoors, allowing for guests to sit and rest as they please. read more

The last time I tried this place was fairly a decade ago, and I must say it has changed a lot. I was craving for a milk tea, so I decided to give tea station another chance-- I like to give the benefit of the doubt because I probably didn't picked a decent drink last time or maybe the barista made it kind of funky, and it was at a different location as well. That being said, this location is new, and clean. It quite big, and it has enough tables and chair for people to dine in. I was just exploring the menu, and I actually wanted to try the Earl Grey Lavender Milk Tea, but that following evening they were low on that particular batch, so I decided to try something else; people cannot go wrong with the classic milk tea. Additionally, I got it with their adorable mini boba because of the wait, and the inconvenience of not having the milk tea base I originally wanted to try especially because it's their new beverage-- the barista upgraded my drink to large, and made it freshly made as well. The girl that took my order last night was so sweet and helpful; thank you for accommodating me! read more

Always appreciate the quality of their teas at tea station. Pricey but good. Almond milk tea is my favorite. Happy they're open now since the valley/SG location closed. Parking is better, but still can get busy. They have pre made tea from tea leaves for sale, chilled in the fridge. They have a couple table tops and high stool chairs indoors, to enjoy your food/drinks, and a small table outdoors. Public restroom available They still do stamp cards :) This was my first time here at this location. So it may be unfair to say that the valley location's drinks taste better? I'll have to give it a couple more tries to verify this. read more

Terrible service. Placed a phone order and was told kitchen was closed. Fine. Got a drink anyhow. Arrived when told to arrive, and waited at the cash register while two women making drinks made drink after drink. One woman said "please wait a moment" after making the third drink. I waited another 3 minutes and said excuse me, my drink is already made, I see it right there, can I pay for it. She stops and says "oh." And I get to pay $9.25 for a large lychee green tea with boba. Paying a huge premium for waiting around forever to pay and pickup. Terrible service all around. Can not stress to all yelpies reading this far to avoid this place like the plague. read more

I had no idea this location existed so I was beyond thrilled to go here. Parking is horrendous, especially during peak hours but if you have patience or love for boba, you will do what you gotta do and wait for parking. Service was quick and nice, I ordered 4 jasmine milk teas with boba all different kinds of sugar/ice and they got it all right. I like that it was labeled with the stickers too! read more

No idea why the reviews are so bad! This place is fantastic, and it hits all the nostalgia points too if you're an old school tea/boba enjoyer. They've got huge sizes and the staff members are all really kind. They've been having a few promos lately and those have gotten me in the door after visiting less in the last few years, but so happy to rediscover how good Tea Station is! A must-visit classic! read more

Hands down my favorite boba place of all time. Such an easy decision. I miss it when I'm away from Home read more

Man, I haven't been at tea station express since 2019 before I moved. After I came back, they were closed during the pandemic and only recently re-opened. I thought they were doing renovations or something, but tbh it looks a lot like the old tea station express so I don't think they renovated at all! This used to be my favorite place to chill/study/hang out with friends. I finally got to come back today to work and it just wasn't the same for the following reasons: 1. The drinks are super expensive!! One drink (medium size) will run you about $7-8 - which is insane. I might as well go to Sunright and get a drink for $5. 2. Their wifi wasn't super stable. The guy told me that I had to join 5 times for the wifi to work. I was able to get in on my laptop pretty easily but my phone was never able to connect sadly. 3. They played loud radio music. Their selection of music used to be better - like I think they used to play Mandopop (like Jay Chou). Now it's just mainstream pop music. 4. The guy working at the register (I think he was the manager) wasn't very nice. He also tried to add a pudding topping to my order when I didn't ask for it so I kindly asked him to remove it. I got the rose green milk tea and it was pretty good! Just like how I remembered their drinks to be. I got it 50% sweet and no ice and they filled the drink to the rim. Even at 50% sweet I still thought it was super sweet, so maybe I'll opt for 25% next time. They didn't offer me a stamp card which was disappointing. read more

I was excited to try Tea Station for the Ice green tea, I used to go the one on Las Tunas and Temple City Blvd, but unfortunately for this one, the tea was a bit disappointing. It tasted very watery and lacked the strong, rich flavor I was expecting. I hope they can improve the brew strength in the future. read more

This is my 2nd or 3rd time here and both times has been great. But this time, my drink tasted really good. I ordered the Lychee Black Tea with boba and the wife got the Lavender milk tea hot. I really liked my lychee drink as it had the right amount of sweetness and the boba was soft and bouncy. It was definitely coated with brown sugar because it not only had a nice chew, but also slightly sweet. The sugar level of the drink was perfect to my liking. The lavender milk tea was also good. Not sure if they used creamer instead of milk, because it had a creamy taste to it and since I was lactose, I didn't have any after effects. I also like that if you purchase a drink, the box of tea is only $3 each vs. $4.50 if you were to just purchase the tea by itself. read more

Came here while waiting for our Korean BBQ reservation next door. So glad we had time to kill because I got to try this place out. 10/10 recommend the drink Honey lemon passion fruit green tea. Tried it iced and it was delicious. Can't wait to make this my summer go to drink. I'm sure the hot version of this would be a great competitor for the Starbucks medicine ball. Very much enjoyed and would recommend. Can't wait to try more drinks here. Staff was patient since I had no idea what to order. Didn't get a chance to try the food, but what I did see grabbed my attention. Definitely will be back. read more

Came in at 8:05 and ordered one single drink ( hot milk tea with boba) the workers took their sweet time making another customers order one by one, and didn't even mind to start heating up the milk tea for my drink 14 minutes into waiting. The store is not busy. These workers are slow and incompetent. It is 8:23 as I write this review and the drink is still not done. I work as a barista so I know that it should not take this long. read more

Not sure why the reviews are so low for here. Place is clean and has a great selection of milk teas and coffees. I got the Thai Tea Coffee and it was refreshing and tasty.

Not bad. Thai tea lover here. I'm on a mission to try them all lol this location was cool. Very refreshing. Nice size. The inside is clean and spacious. Great service too. So why 3 stars? This drink alone was $7.25! With no boba or toppings lol that the most I've paid for Thai tea. Ever. Maybe because of the location. That's fine but I'm just not willing to pay that much. So that's why I won't be back. The Thai tea had a distinctive taste. Not bad. Just different. Hardly had the Thai element to it. But again. It wasn't bad. Thanks for the good drink. Keep up the good work. read more

I love this place, it one of the few place that shake their tea by hand. Recently they changed the process of making tea. NOT good at all, the new recipe takes away the tea flavor and now it just milk with no tea. Hope they go back to the traditional way of shaking the tea by hands so I could return. Always love this place, recommended so many people to this place. Got to find a new place if they don't switch back. They will get a zero stars if this continues. I noticed many unhappy customers now. read more

I have been coming to this tea station express location for a while now and this is my review for it. FOOD/ DRINKS 4/5: My go to for this place would definitely be the boba milk green tea. The tea itself is very good quality and their boba here is soft and chewy. Last time I was here I got 50% sugar and in my opinion is a bit too sweet for me. I would definitely go for 25% next time. You can also do no ice and they will fill up the drink for you! They do have two sizes and I go for the medium because compared to other places is a large. Their upsize I think is 30 oz but it is $1.75 more. The only food I tried here was their popcorn chicken and it was pretty good. The reason I took off a point was because of their prices. My drink itself was $7.25 which is pricey compared to other boba places around. I'm guessing it is because of the tea quality? but paying that price I will say is not worth it. SERVICE 3.5/5: I feel like their service can definitely be a lot better. The lady who took out order felt like she was rushing us even though we were the only ones in the store. Other servers were ok but letting you know if you want to change your ice and sugar level, you have to tell them or else they will give you all regular. I was also pretty disappointed this location does not take any stamp cards like other locations do. AMBIENCE 4/5: The place is located in Camellia Square near Summer Rolls. Their spot is actually pretty decent sized compared to other stores in the plaza but it is definitely not as big as the restaurants or Meet Fresh. It usually doesn't get too busy as far as I know. There are around 3 high top tables and I am not sure if they have wifi for those who want to study. You should go there a bit early because the plaza does get VERY VERY BUSY and the parking is pretty bad when that happens. They do have underground parking in the back but that can get full as well. Overall I recommend Tea Station Express because yes the drinks and food here are expensive but it is worth giving a try. read more

The drinks are too sweet without modifications, and it took a really long time to get most of our food and drinks... over an hour! Thought the express in its name meant express. Not sure what took sooo long as we were only second in line and the place didn't seem crazy busy. read more

So glad I checked yelp to see which Tea Station location was closer to me. I had no idea about this place and so I zoomed right on over to grab a Jasmine Milk Tea. I dont know what they put in that stuff but man its delicious and no other boba/tea place can come close. read more

To start off, service was shit. The guy was freaking unfriendly af. I ordered their royal milk tea. Drink was undrinkable, like way too sweet. I usually get milk tea with regular sugar/ regular ice. My God, this was like pure sugar. Also, like many other yelper on here, the guy barely put any ice and the tea was lukewarm at the bottom. GROSS. I went for an adjustment twice and everytime he adjusted it, it got worst. First time, asked to be less sweetened. Came back still freaking sweet. Second time, he tossed half my drink and put tea. But oh wait, the dude told me they didnt have enough royal tea to put in. So he gave me black tea. Defeated the purpose of getting a royal milk tea. And he just added tea. No milk whatsoever. Changed it to just milk tea and he still fucked it up. Like how? PS. I have been to diff tea station before and this is the WORST one I have been to. read more

Located in the corner of the floating tea pot plaza (descriptive, I know), tea station express seems to be a smaller counterpart of the franchise that has another location on Las Tunas as well just a good number of blocks down. (Why?) Anyway, tea station express has about 5 small tables inside and a few outside. Nothing special about their drinks: you'll find all the usual, and just the usual. I wanted to get their barley milk green tea. They were out that day. But at least they take credit card! They have wifi if you want to study. Seems to work fine as I'm writing this review. Their playlist seems to consist of covers of pop songs, which is chill. Nothing too distracting. However, the music tends to randomly stop in the middle while an ad plays. I don't know what platform they are using, but it's quite jarring. Anyway, if you need a quick boba fix in this plaza, seems to be the place to go to. Otherwise, maybe try venturing elsewhere. read more

This place is a fraud due to that they offer a card that if you purchased any 10 ice drinks then you'll receive one free medium ice Boba milk tea. Now that I finally got to redeem my free drink; the server "Joanna Y." told me to go somewhere else to got this free drink. They took my money and business but when it comes to redeem something they promotion; I gotta run circles to get it. So please people don't support this business because they lost my business here.
