    Hokkaido Milk
    John H.

    Satisfying!! Very awesome. Sweetness at 100% did taste like a litte too much though. They have a happy hour so that the drinks are taken at 20% off. I received the entire thing including boba for under $5. They keep sealedx procucts lf tea that be purchased as well. Great brew and place.

    I've been here many many times during my younger days but haven't been to this location in a while. I needed something fast and quick to eat so I ordered a milk tea and a pork belly rice. The pork belly rice was surprisingly good! I would definitely order it again.

    This place has great service. I highly recommend the California Governor Gavin Newsom hot high mountain oolong tea. Great music and there is a huge patio area. Conveniently located in Monterey Park near various shopping options.

    Joy pot
    Alice C.

    Haven't been here for half a year. We had the kimchi fried rice, joy pot and a milk tea. The drink was good and not super strong. The the kimchi fried rice was and it came with a fried egg. The level of spiciness cannot be adjusts though. For the joy pot, it was good as well. The joy pot is like any other hot pot out there. So with the increased price, there could be many other better options/quality food elsewhere, especially for the pot.

    I tried their new afternoon-tea toast and it was great!! This is a great place to hang out with friends and I also love Oolong tea here.

    Top 5 drinks

    This is one old-school looking tea shop. There are jugs of dried teas on the left when you walk but and even though that is is very traditional, I wasn't focused on that. I was focused to the menu on the right. The top 5 drinks. I ended up getting the boba oolong milk green tea. The waitress and drink maker were very nice and efficient. Got the drink in a jiffy with barely enough time to try their sample drink. My drink was good. They made it the way i like it with less ice and and less sugar. The oolong wasn't super prominent which is kind of a bummer but it was good enough. My friend and I were in and out within minutes. Don't seem like a good place to study and I'm not sure if they even have wifi. They have a bunch of other snacks on the menu and set plates with rice on the side, which all looked amazing but I was just craving some boba. I've always just passed by this Ten Ren but after this experience, I will be coming back when I'm craving that boba or if I want some fried pork chop, fried chicken, or some taiwanese sausage.

    That rose milk tea with pudding drink. So good!
    Deborah W.

    Damn I love this place and not because their awesome drinks are overpriced, but because their drinks are so good. I always get a large almond milk tea with pudding but costs over $5. Pretty pricey compared to many places. I've also gotten their Garfield milk tea which is basically milk tea mixed with brown sugar, in case you were wondering. Their strawberry milk tea was pretty good, too, with strawberry chunks included. They also have a sample of a drink each day. They had put out a sample of a cucumber green tea and it was surprisingly really good; just really refreshing, too. I'm planning on getting this the next time I come back. Friendly staff who were kind enough to make us drinks when they were cleaning up and getting ready to close. That was a mistake on our part as we thought they'd be closed a bit later. No complaints from them and they were still so nice. We come here often and prefer this Ten Ren that we are almost addicted. I wouldn't try their food, though, mainly because it doesn't seem so appetizing here. This place is quite small and also very quiet. They sell lots of tea gift sets here which takes up half their space.

    Small, a bit crampy and a bit dusty looking compared to the other Ten Ren's, this Ten Ren still has it where it counts (for me at least) - solid drinks and solid Wi-fi. Seating here looks limited but you'd be surprised at how many people can fit here. The service here was pretty solid - I got my iced passion fruit green tea drink a bit quicker than I expected and the people running this place seem friendly. You can find plenty of parking at the rear of the building. Overall, it's not a bad place to pass some time but there is a larger and newer looking Ten Ren on nearby Atlantic!

    Garfield milk tea and passion fruit milk tea
    Loretta C.

    I think it was because my friend and I came here on a weekday, but this place was completely devoid of customers, which is awesome since most tea places are crowded and full of young people (don't take offense, I'm a young'n too) so it was nice to find a nice, quiet place like this to sit down and talk. The workers were very welcoming and nice. Parking was a challenge though. I parked at the supermarket next to it (on Garfield), so AGAIN, come here on a weekday. San Gabriel Valley is known for being super crowded and traffic-y on weekends. This Ten Ren has a cafe and tea store all in one. Their hazelnut milk tea was awesome, AND they didn't charge tax. The prices here seemed cheaper than the Ten Ren in San Gabriel or Arcadia.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Angela C.

    I haven't been to this location in a long time and was craving for there food and drink. I am glad they are open so I have another place I can go during my lunch break at work. They have a really good amount of selections on food and drink. The online order system was very easy to use and I can do curb side pick up. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and jasmine green tea. They were so delicious! The ramen was flavorful and has enough of meat, corn, egg, and soup to fill you up. I decided to get the jasmine green tea instead of my usual pineapple green tea because the pineapple green tea for some reason makes my throat dry and causes me to cough later. I don't know if it's the powder they use in there or what, but I wouldn't order that again. The jasmine green tea was just perfect. It was refreshing and don't have to worry about those issues. They have a huge parking structure, but on a normal day it gets really busy. I am glad I can take advantage of the curb side pickup right now while I can. The staff are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend trying there drinks and food if you haven't got a chance to.

Their menu is quite extensive, from teas, boba, coffee, fruit teas, they've got it all. For first timers, they have a signature section which I think is basically their most popular drinks, they're all recommended to try. My wife and I ordered the Oreo Matcha Brulee and the Uji Matcha Latte to share, both came out pretty quickly, around 5 minutes or so. I'm a huge sucker for oreo matcha brulee type drinks and this place made it perfectly. Each sip is full of the ingredients, very refreshing, and perfect sweetness in my opinion with 30% - 60% sugar level. Overall, great tea shop, it's pretty ironic to find a place that's just called "The Tea" which can be hard to search up, but their drinks are high quality, staff is quick, and their shop is clean.

Varieties that Imen (the big boss at Tea Habitat) has personally procured directly, live, from the source throughout mainland China. She basically found the best stuff on her tasting ventures, making it a pretty exclusive menu of teas that you're highly unlikely going to find anywhere else in southern California, or perhaps all of California and the entire nation. You need this. You want this. You want to have it so bad, you want to relive the lingering euphoria of getting tea drunk - green tea, white tea, oolong... from royal grade to high mountain grade, harvested from centuries old trees.

Menu is somewhat small and limited, but I can see myself coming back to try their other unique tea flavors. This was my 3rd boba shop visit and got my 3rd stamp in MySGV Boba Passport. Yay!

    This place is so much more than a tea house. It's a reset, a tiny retreat that gently reminds you…read morelife doesn't have to be lived at 100 mph. I just finished a hike in Altadena, found Callisto on Yelp, and wandered in looking for a quiet post-trail moment. Instead, I was met with such a genuine warmth that made me feel like a guest instead of a transaction. The owner herself took my afternoon in a much softer direction. I ordered the afternoon tea service and fell into my book. This is the kind of place that invites you to read, write, and decompress. My tea of choice: Yellow Brick Road with osmanthus flowers blended with Darjeeling black tea. It tasted like sweet blossoms dipped in honey. The service also comes with three mini savory toasts, a scone with mascarpone cream and marmalade, and dessert. I chose the chocolate peanut butter cupcake which sent me into a blissful chocolate haze for the rest of the day. If you crave quiet, delicious, almost healing moments, you need to come here. Wendy, thank you for taking such good care of me and inspiring me to chill out for the rest of the afternoon.

It was so good I would have paid money to do it, the teas and scones we did purchase were also really good. Really blown away at the atmosphere and customer service by Wendy and the team here will definitely be back very soon!! Would love to know where to find out more about the tea classes offered?

    Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the coffee…read more Parking was easy, and I found a spot right outside. When I walked in, I was finishing up a phone call. The employee at the register didn't acknowledge me, which I initially understood since I was still on the phone. However, after I ended my call, there still wasn't any greeting or acknowledgment. She looked away and walked toward the back, which immediately gave me the impression that customer service wasn't a priority. A moment later, another employee did turn around to acknowledge me, but by then I had already decided to leave. The shop also had a strong odor that made the atmosphere less inviting for me. Because I didn't end up ordering anything, I can't comment on the quality of the coffee. Based on the menu, it seemed fairly straightforward, but without trying it, I can't give an opinion on the drinks themselves. Hopefully others have a better experience, but unfortunately, the overall atmosphere just wasn't for me.

    I called to order in advance for dine in as I am on a lunch break…read more Ordered Taiwanese sausage rice plate and iced black milk tea. Pretty affordable. I miss when they use actual plates and utensils. Now it's just paper plate and plastic utensils. Be sure to check out their daily specials. Tuesday special is Thai tea. Cannot collect stamp on specials though! Street parking and parking lot available.
