This review is specifically for the Jasmine Oolong with Brown Sugar Mochi Jelly because this drink…read moreis SO HEAVENLY that I literally refuse to try anything else here. The drink is super smooth and creamy with really strong jasmine and oolong flavors. And the brown sugar mochi jelly??? Boba WHO? It's soft, chewy, and honestly so much better than boba. The best part is that you can even save your drink for the next day and the mochi jelly stays soft instead of getting hard like boba does. I cannot recommend this specific order enough. There's a reason Torotea has expanded so much! I'm not the biggest fan of the Diamond Bar location purely because of the line, so I'd recommend trying one of their other locations if you don't want to wait as long. You can also order online on weekdays to avoid the line, but there is a small online fee. Also shoutout to whoever designed their shops because they absolutely killed the boho vibes. Super cute inside and the perfect place to wait for your drink. There isn't much of a seating area to chat given the line and large volume of traffic. Overall, as I can't emphasize any further, JASMINE OOLING WITH MOCHI JELLY.

I shouldn't be drinking dairy because I'm lowkey lactose but it will forever be worth it for a milktea boba LMAO!! :') Went on a Saturday afternoon, even though it was busy, didn't have to wait very long. Definitely a cool little boba spot!

I came to charge my car and decided to give this tea spot a try because it looked incredibly busy…read more My thought was, it must be good, right? Luckily, I was right. I ordered the half sweet matcha with oat milk, and it was delicious. The portion size was generous, and despite how busy they were, my drink came out surprisingly fast. I loved that you can order from a touchscreen kiosk and easily customize your drink with all the available add ins. The menu is huge, but the digital ordering system makes it easy to browse and see all your options. The location itself is small with minimal seating, but it has a cute atmosphere and a great vibe. Overall, a solid spot for tea and matcha lovers, and I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu.

Convenient and Customizable -- A Solid Go-To My all-time…read morefavorite boba spot was Sunright Tea Studio, but unfortunately it's closed down, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement -- and this place has become my current go-to. What I love most here is the ordering experience. There are multiple large touchscreens where you can fully customize your drink -- sugar level, ice level, add-ons, substitutions, you name it. I almost always go for zero sugar, and the fact that I can do that easily is a huge plus for me. It's the kind of flexibility that modern boba shops should all offer. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, which is refreshing compared to some other spots in the area. Is it the most amazing boba I've ever had? Honestly, no -- but the ability to build your drink exactly the way you want it more than makes up for it. There's also a large display screen showing order status, so you always know when your drink is ready. It's a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. I'll be real though -- I probably drink more coffee from the Starbucks across the street than boba from here. At the end of the day, coffee feels like the healthier daily habit. But when I'm in the mood for something different, this place is where I'll be.

I was surprised to see a CHICHA San Chen locally! The first time I've had their tea was in New…read moreYork, so I was quite delighted to make a pit stop here. Parking is a bit interesting and it's a tight reverse, so be careful when exiting and entering. We came in, and the step by aroma of freshly brew tea encircled us. We didn't wait in line for too long, but it gave us enough time to decide on what to get. Their menu isn't huge, but an amount good enough not to get overwhelmed. When we arrived at the front of the line, the cashier automatically handed us samples of their summer tea offering. It was quite aromatic and refreshing. We didn't opt to get that, but I did order their Dong Ding Oolong Tea with boba. We waited for about five minutes before receiving our drinks. It's always nice to see their boba drinks come with a cup sleeve and string! When tasting my drink, you can taste the oolong perfectly and it's a subtle type of sweetness. Their boba is very chewy, but sweet, too. The workers here were kind and it was a very clean environment. Just like their tea, their shop is clean and to utter perfection. Their workers were trained well. I'd come back again for good tea!

This place is a cute little boba shop with pretty good food and drinks…read more Food: 5/5 I came here on a Saturday at around 12pm and tried their lunch special. I got the popcorn chicken with rice and it came with a jasmine green tea. The popcorn chicken was really crispy, but not too flavorful. However with the sauce and rice, it was pretty good. The meal was about $15 after tip and tax, which is a great meal since it came with a drink. Service: 5/5 This place has kiosks to order. After I ordered, it took like 5 minutes for them to make my food and drink. The food was freshly made and came out nice and hot. Ambiance: 5/5 This place was playing kpop and pop music. They have cute interior. There was plenty of seating. And overall, it seemed like a great place to chill and hang out with friends.

I've been wanting to try Omomo in Irvine but never had the chance and was in this area, so I thought why not! I've heard good things. There was no line. Staff was friendly and patient answering my questions. I always like to see if boba shops have unique drinks that stores typically don't have and if not, usually go with the original milk tea. But the Magnolia tea caught my eye. I got the magnolia milk tea and the boba was fresh, soft, but with the right perfect amount of chew! The staff did tell me it's "very floral" and I was a bit worried because I'm not a big fan of floral drink, but honestly, it wasn't that floral. There was a pretty subtle hint of floral-ness, but I can't make the distinction of the "magnolia" flavor. It's similar to maybe camelia? The boba and tea definitely were more prominent. I appreciated that I can taste a stronger tea flavor though. Service was really fast! They are well staffed. I didn't get to do what I came for, but at least the drink did not disappoint! I would come back to try other drinks!

The order took a few minutes to be ready and by then it started to get crowded. The milk tea was da hong pao tea at 70% sweet with less ice. It was refreshing and the boba was sweet and chewy.

Also had their egg tart which is really tasty and flakey! Would go back.

Unlike some boba shops where you have to wait in long lines just to order, there wasn't a long wait here, so it was easy to get my drink and be on my way. The service was efficient and the overall experience was smooth and convenient. Definitely a great spot to grab a quality boba drink without spending a lot of time waiting in line. I'll definitely be coming back!

Having visited other San Chen locations, I've come to truly admire their high quality teas. This…read morelocation is no different. This spot is very clean and very spacious. Although there's practically no tables, it's more of a order and go type place. Most times I visited, I had absolutely no wait at all, although I heard that during peak hours it gets pretty busy due to how busy the plaza is. My wife and I visited during lunch on a weekend and it was no wait whatsoever. Easily placed our orders and it was about a 5-10 minute wait for our drinks, very nice overall. Staff is friendly and quick which is always nice to see for a tea shop. They have plenty of options to go around, usually they'll have a sample for you to try which is nice if you can't decide on your drink choice. I absolutely love the mango or lemon condensed milk series, it's a mix of yakult style drinks on top of a bit more of a gushy feeling when you're sipping. Mix that with a bit of kick and you have the perfect drink for a hot day. Absolutely recommend trying it. Overall, a well maintained shop, although can get really packed during the peak hours, it's absolutely worth checking their store out. Very high quality drinks, consistent across all San Chen locations and definitely my choice of tea shop whenever my wife and I are in the area.

Stopped by CHAYAN today, and the moment I walked up to the entrance, that rich, aromatic tea scent completely stopped me in my tracks! They even had free samples at the door. I took a sip of the "Fei Zi Xiao Lychee" and instantly couldn't stop smiling--it's a flawless blend of fresh lychee sweetness and crisp tea notes. It literally lives up to its name and makes you happy with every sip! What touched me the most was the cultural vibe. The walls are lined with exquisite framed displays detailing different tea bases--like Wuyi Da Hong Pao, Jin Jun Mei, Jasmine Snow, Yunnan Pu'er, Taiwan Dong Ding Oolong, and Osmanthus Tieguanyin--complete with real tea leaves packed into the bottom! Reading through all those cool tea facts while waiting for my order actually made the wait feel super meaningful. The two melon drinks I tried this time totally blew me away: Melon Milk Tea The ultimate combo of sweet melon and refreshing tea! It's unbelievably smooth and packed with natural melon aroma, but thanks to the tea base, it's not overly sweet at all. A total summer must-try gem! Melon Lemon Tea Freshly muddled lemon + sweet melon + roasted Oolong! The first sip hits you with bright citrus sweetness, followed by an explosion of fruity melon and deep Oolong notes. Acidic, sweet, and crisp--it's the ultimate heat-buster! If you love authentic, high-quality tea flavors, you can thank me later!

4/5 For some of you…read morewho might not know, CHAYAN is: * Chayan -- a UK / London-born tea brand * Origin: London, United Kingdom, originally known as Tastetea * Specialty: Modern-style Chinese tea, frappes, and "chappuccinos" topped with cream and nuts * The brand has also expanded internationally, including locations in Canada such as British Columbia. LOCATION & PARKING This CHAYAN is located inside Pacific Plaza on Colima Rd. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses in the plaza, and it's not very big, so parking can sometimes be a little limited. The shop is on the ground level, right next to the stairs that lead up to the second floor. ORDERING & ATMOSPHERE Once you walk into the store, there are two self-order kiosks on the left where you can place your own order. You can also walk straight to the counter and have one of the staff members help you. The staff members I interacted with were nice and friendly. Usually, there aren't too many customers inside, so the atmosphere tends to be pretty quiet and relaxing. PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA I've visited this place twice. The first time, I ordered the Peach Oolong Milk Tea with their chestnut boba--or whatever their specialty topping is called. Sorry, I forgot the exact name, but it's definitely not the regular black boba. The drink was pretty good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I liked how the peach flavor blended nicely with the tea. You could still taste the tea instead of the peach flavor completely overpowering it. DA HONG PAO MILK TEA The second time, I ordered the Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with the same chestnut topping. This one was decent as well. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing, but still an enjoyable milk tea. OVERALL Both times I came here, I had a good experience. I'm giving CHAYAN 4 stars because while none of the drinks really "wowed" me, they were still good enough for me to consider this place above average overall. Friendly staff Nice and quiet atmosphere Drinks aren't overly sweet Good tea flavor Easy ordering with kiosks or at the counter The drinks just need a little more of that "wow factor" for me to give this place a full 5 stars. Will definitely come back again and try some of their other drinks!
