    Taro Taiwanese Shaved Ice served with taro paste, mochi, sliced almonds, Pocky and mint.
    Christy S.

    Food: Taro Taiwanese Shaved Ice was really good. The shaved milk ice was fluffy and creamy and melted with no crunch. It was not overly sweet and the taro flavor was subtle. There were two sizes. Small is good for 1-2 people, and we were told that large serves 3-4. The popcorn chicken and crispy tofu were both good, as advertised, and actually crispy. They were served with cayenne and soy sauce on the side. Food came out surprisingly fast. Drinks took a bit longer. Drinks: Tried the Matcha Bandera with mango instead of strawberry. I also subbed oat milk instead of regular milk. I thought the flavors worked well together. Also had the Berry Hokkaido which turned out to be Hokkaido milk tea with strawberry puree. Based on the picture on their website I was expecting it to be like a smoothie, but it was just milk tea. It was fine but not very standout.

    the noodles here are fantastic! they have an authentic broth and a variety of noodle choices. they also offer many different milk, fruit, and classic teas. my food came fast and was even served by one of the baristas! the store is clean and gives me a cozy vibe with all the decorations! 10/10 i would definitely come here again.

    Pleasantly surprised with this cute little tea shop and restaurant. They have a nice selection of food, snacks, and drinks. Super chill environment where people can come and chat over some boba or dine in for dinner. The food is authentically Chinese from Yunnan province. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend checking this place out for a quick bite or some refreshing drinks.

    The food is amazing as well as the tea. The popping Boba is great. The chicken soup dumplings are amazing and the service is always great. The ambiance is a laid back vibe.

    Passionfruit Green Tea
    Aurora L.

    The passionfruit green tea is refreshing - I recommend 100% sweetness, as it's not overpowering and gives the drink a nice balance. Service is decent. The ambiance is open and airy, with plenty of seating. I especially like the bar seating by the window--it's nice if you're looking to relax and people-watch.

    I am a certified matcha lover and even more thanks to this place!! It did take awhile to make because I see they hand crafted it with love. The strawberry purée is FRESH and REAL fruit being used not the premade stuff. They make this cup to perfection with no clumps and perfect matcha strawberry ratio. Bonus point for the tiny diney on the cup. It's next to the cutest thrift store. I will drive back to Pasadena for this place.

    Good boba but not good service We purchased 2 matcha strawberry bobas and asked to use the bathroom but the gentleman behind the counter said no and locked it. We asked why & he said they were closing. But they were not closing because there were still lots of people in the store & they were still waiting for their food to come outas a matter of fact, there were people who came after us & ordered food. After I begged, he finally allowed one of us to use the bathroom. The matchas were tasty & the cup they came in was cute

    Bland popcorn chicken with no basil. What happened ?!
    John S.

    Local South Pasadenan here. Food used to be good. Found out today the hard way. Beef noodle soup bland no flavor. Their staple popcorn chicken went down the tube. No basil no flavor. $24 for lunch not coming back. Used to be family owned by Tiger (Shawn) now bought over by some bogus business group about a year ago that changed the recipes to probably save a buck. Let's get better food here and boycott in South Pas and support a new local small businesses. Do not recommend.

    Oolong Milk Tea with Boba
    Winn H.

    Parking is plentiful around the block of TeaMorrow, limited to two hours. They have options to order at the self-service kiosk or directly at the cashier. On a Saturday afternoon, they have regular traffic thought not a line-out-the-door kind of atmosphere - thankfully. Members of the general community frequent TeaMorrow as part of the general strip of small businesses, and many study or work on projects here - or even a quite bite. (And yes, there's Wi-Fi!) One thing to note is that the self-service kiosk does not have Oolong Milk Tea but it does have Peach Oolong Milk Tea (??) - weird! But ordering at the front cleared up this issue; I ordered this with boba for a friend and grabbed myself a 25% (mod) sweet Almond Milk Tea. Almond is one of those "difficult to get right" drinks in my opinion, but TeaMorrow exceeded expectations, especially with the customized sugar. It was on the "tad too sweet end," but better than expected. Wait time was approximately 15 minutes, though, despite the rather empty line - perhaps a shift change.

    Large Almond Milk Tea and Popcorn Chicken
    Joyce D.

    It's located near the intersection by the train crossing. It's a bit difficult to find parking. We found parking on the side street with only a couple mins walk. It wasn't too far. They have kiosks for self-ordering. The drinks and food took awhile to come out. Our order was for to-go. Almond milk tea tasted better than most places out there. The popcorn chicken was a bit too soggy for me.

    Peach Premium Oolong Tea
    Tiffany L.

    Drinks are decent, singling out their peach oolong tea, but a lot of misses when it comes to their toppings. I had their seasonal mango mayhem, and it had a combination of soft mango chunks that tasted like they came from a can, and also rock solid chunks that were not yet ripe. It was as if they were more fillers to take up more space in order to minimize the amount of liquid because they were not consumable. The sago was also a weird combination where some were really cooked and the others were really hard. The regular boba is too soft. Overall, I'd say quality of drinks and boba are comparable to Prolecé Tea in Old Town Pasadena, though I'd probably see myself going to Prolecé over TeaMorrow since it's open later.

    My favorite part of this place
    Elena C.

    There's nothing wrong with teamorrow. There's a lot of things on their offering that made me intrigued wanting to try everything. On my first visit i settled on zha jiang noodles with 75% hot, and honeydew milk tea. The honeydew milk tea is pretty alright, although kinda weird that the normal order is lactose free creamer instead of regular milk, but it still tastes nice. Normal sweet is kinda equal with 75% on most boba places. The zha jiang cooked al dente with enough salt and seasoning, and 75% hot is kinda medium hot on most asian places. Not bad at all. But my favorite part of this place the one thing only, their logo with the cute t-rex.

    Dianna H.

    TeaMorrow is a cute little boba cafe located in South Pasadena. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a casual and inviting ambiance that makes it the perfect spot to catch up with friends. Pro tip: check in on Yelp for a free size upgrade! In addition to various tea drinks, they also offer a variety of snacks and noodle and rice dishes that are sure to satisfy your hunger cravings. My party of 4 came by Saturday around 2 pm and it wasn't that crowded. We ordered and snagged a table easily. It did fill up as we were sitting and chatting, and by the time we left an hour later, most of the tables were occupied. I ordered the mango green tea slushie with light sweetness ($4.75), with a free upgrade to a large drink since I checked in on Yelp. While the drink was very refreshing on a hot day, it tasted closer to regular sweetness than light. My friend opted for the hot hokkaido milk tea ($5.25), which I had a taste of and enjoyed as well. Overall, TeaMorrow is a great spot to relax and enjoy some tasty boba. With plenty of seating available, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends or simply unwind after a long day.

It's a huge space that gave more industrial vibe to me than traditional Taiwanese theme, but it's totally a very convenient dining spot for both small and big group. We tried some from the menu and were pleased by all of them. They might look small but very filling actually since all the bowls were filled to top. The Dan Dan noodles have flavorful peanut sauce with it perfect noodles texture. Would recommend add extra sides for proteins, which we opted for pork belly and minced pork. The belly was extremely tender with thick juicy slices. The minced pork was equally palatable. They're generous in portion for being sides, we even packed some home. We obviously didn't skip their Hakka Mochi for dessert, which were still warm chewy yet moist when served and covered in overflowing black sesame and peanut powder. I wasn't usually a fan of black sesame but decided to give this one a try anyway and ending up no regrets at all! The powder was such spoiling mix of sweet and salty in one bite.

Scallion Bread Sandwich with five spice beef: Nice flavors and generous amount of filling, but the bread could've been made crisper, as it got soggy from the fillings and fell apart while eating. Chiayi Chicken Rice: This was fine but pretty mild and basic, nothing really stood out about this. Fruit Shaved lce: It looked really nice and had a lot of pineapple and strawberries. The pudding was pretty bland. The ice was the coarse, crunchy kind (not the fluffy, creamy kind). It was big enough to share with 3 or 4 people, though I don't think I'd get it again.

The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Korean beef. It was way too sweet and didn't really give Korean BBQ flavor. The meat seemed more steamed than grilled, and not even vinegar or chili oil could save it for me. Other than that, everything else was fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for.

The noodles are especially good and, importantly, not overly greasy or oily, which can sometimes be an issue at other places. The prices are also competitive, especially considering the portions and quality of the food. It is the kind of place where you can order a good spread, share a bunch of dishes, and feel like you got a solid meal for the money. I also love that they bring out sugared peanuts when you sit down. It is a small touch, but a really nice one. The restaurant has plenty of seating, though service can be a bit slow at times, so good luck flagging down a waiter when it gets busy. You can also tell they are a high-volume dumpling restaurant because there is often steam in the dining room, which can make the restaurant feel a little warm at times. A couple of practical heads-ups: the tables are on the smaller side and can get crowded quickly if you order a lot of dishes, so just be mindful if you are planning to feast. You will also likely need to park in one of the structures around the area, but there is a large parking structure right across the street and plenty of parking options around Old Town. Overall, Mama Lu is a great spot with excellent dumplings, solid noodles, competitive prices, and a menu that keeps me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to places in Pasadena.

    This is one of my go-to spots in Pasadena. The Shanghai rice cake is one of my favorite dishes of…read moreall time, perfectly chewy and well-balanced with the sauce. It's not mushy like the usual rice cakes you get compared to other places. The spicy wontons were light in spice, which is exactly how I like them. The XLBs are always a hit and perfect for sharing. The staff was attentive, and there are plenty of parking spaces around. Super spacious compared to the MPK location.
