Solid place for milk teas. Popcorn chicken and fried fish cakes were so yummy- we had to order another one! The place is a little dated but clean. The servers were really helpful. read more

I had a lovely experience at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights). I ordered the Iron Goddess Milk Tea ($6.75 - Large - 100% Sweetness). It's toasty oolong tea with hints of honey & caramel. TASTY! With each sip, I felt my stress and worries fade away. I smiled happily. (Important: Bring Cash. With Card, there's a 35 cents additional charge for orders under $15.) I arrived at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) on Friday (around 11:45AM). There's a competitive, busy parking lot. Fortunately, I quickly found parking. Staff is professional and polite. Staff gave good recommendations, and Staff answered all my questions. The drink took about five minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Iron Goddess Milk Tea ($6.75 - Large - 100% Sweetness). The crisp tea taste is pronounced and brewed perfectly (not burnt). Its gentle sweetness soothes the throat, and the flavor of honey and caramel flutters about. It's DELICIOUS! On ambiance, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) is aged, worn-down but well-maintained. The location is a little small; there's about four tables. Fortunately, it feels well-ventilated and airy. In addition, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) also has PLENTY of utility. This spot has 34 electrical outlets!!! WOW! These outlets easily blend with the wall. There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for details. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Overall, I found unexpected happiness at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights). The tea is one of the best! If you love tea, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.9 out of 5! read more

I saw that reviews for popcorn chicken here were mostly good, so I wanted to try it out for myself. My order included a monk's blend ($6) with 30% sweetness and popcorn chicken ($9.65). The monk's blend was an iced Ceylon black tea with a touch of vanilla and grenadine. Although this drink is a signature menu item, I didn't really enjoy the citrusy and plum-like tartness. Most of the popcorn chicken pieces had a crispy texture, whereas others were a tad soggy. With medium spice, the chicken was very flavorful. The popcorn chicken came in an oyster pail that looked a little small, but the portion size still seemed adequate for the price. I ended up drinking the tea first before eating the chicken because the flavors did not leave a complementary aftertaste. Also, I got my tea first, but the staff forgot to give me the popcorn chicken even though they said that it's on the way. I had to follow up after waiting several minutes. One staff member was apologetic and explained that she thought my order was complete once I got my tea. The wait was unfortunately long because of the miscommunication. read more

Still our favorite boba shop in SGV! Their teas are always made to perfection and very satisfying. Ordered the Iron Goddess Oolong Milk Tea and Orange Mojito Green Tea. Quick and nice service as usual. Like their tea collection. Only downside is the parking lot. It's so difficult to find a spot in this super busy plaza. read more

I remember having this years ago in the temple city location. Was surprised they have one in Rowland. They are Taiwanese style tea and have plenty of fun options. I got the buckwheat bc it's non caffeinated since it was pretty late at night but wow it was so interesting and unique (in a good way)! It was nutty and refreshing. The workers are also very friendly and were talking to us about the jelly and even offered samples. If you like toro tea's tapiochi or odd one out silk boba, they have it too called mochi jelly. Def one of those local gem that people just walk pass. Hopefully more people will visit! read more

The drinks are always good. Everything I tried here did not disappoint. Their drinks are not the watered down teas like some other tea shops. Its freshly brewed per cup. The staff is always patiently introducing their specials. The fried "snacks" are also made better than other places. Nothing to not like here except maybe more seating!?! read more

First time ordered tea delivery from this tea shop. The teas were surprisingly refreshing and strong. I enjoyed my ceremonial matcha very much. I appreciated that they had tea option not just latte option for matcha. The popcorn chicken was very delicious as well. Another solid spot for teas from now on! read more

Quick service and great Tea. I was surprised how good the quality was for the tea here. We were given some samples and they were delicious. We ended up buying the buckwheat milk tea and the apple tea drink. Would definitely recommend those drinks. For food we also got popcorn chicken. Flavor was good but the texture was soft and squishy. If they fried it twice it would be better. PS. They do have a restroom here which is great. Parking lot is big but it's super busy. A lot of the drivers also don't pay attention when driving. read more

I was in the mood for some popcorn chicken and this spot had some! I got a medium spicy chicken and a golden buckwheat oat latte 70% sugar! The service was ok, but the ambiance is average with a bit of chatter happening at the time I came. The popcorn chicken is a nice kick of spice and soft and tender with the chicken. The buckwheat tea is nice, earthy and smooth! There is a wheat taste but this drink is hearty and rare since not many tea places have this! The mochi jelly is nice and chewy, which is a great add on with the drink. TIP: There's a gender neutral restroom in this place! No outside food and drinks are allowed here. The parking lot is ample, but be careful of other cars! read more

Extremely poor quality control. The sausage was burnt to the point that most of the exterior was blackened. I was surprised that staff considered this acceptable to serve. Customers pay for properly prepared food, not something that looks like it was forgotten on the grill. Very disappointing experience. read more

I love this place! I love coming here for a quick pick-me-up, whether that's a drink or snack; a very chill spot to catch up with your friends. The team here is also very laid-back and easy-going.

I've been back here a few times since the last and in those times there was a time where their popcorn chicken and other snacks were not that great but this specific visit this time was excellent!! They definitely have good and bad days when it comes to their snacks. Their teas are pretty consistent. They have fried tofu but it is a bit soft. Would be better if a bit more firm. Tasty, crispy popcorn chicken when you catch them on a good day! Hope they work on their food consistency. I'll be back on a good day hehe read more

Tenju Tea House has solid tea. A plus is they offer loyalty stamp cards! I think the 10th drink is free. There is a kiosk if you want to pay by card/tap, but you can order with the cashier too. I thought they used to be in the 99 Ranch plaza, but I guess they moved here behind Yoshinoya. The parking lot is more tight and annoying to find parking here. I wanted to mention that I was in communication with Peggy about catering. She showed passion and attention to detail. We ended up not booking them, but she left such an impression that I have to share it! Go hire Tenju! -no bathroom (the one inside the nearby market is NASTY though) -unsure about wifi -Apple Pay accepted -no outdoor seating -parking lot but it sux read more

The food and drinks here are both amazing! I've been here many times for drinks, and my favorite so far is the golden buckwheat oat latte with mochi tapioca. Most recently I got the basil strawberry lemonade which was also great! We ordered the popcorn chicken and the chicken was seasoned well, and very juicy. The staff here are always very friendly, and this is one of our regular stops for drinks in this area. read more

THE BEST TEAHOUSE FOR TEA! If you are in the mood for tea and find yourself in Rowland Heights, Tenju Tea House is the shop place to stop! As many times as I have been here, there are sooo many teas to choose from and the tea brewers always have a GREAT recommendation to offer. Not to mention, their freshly prepared hot snacks from the kitchen are absolutely fantastic! The service has been consistent and so very friendly ALL of the times I've been here. This one thing that makes it easier to return. The tea shop is clean, well lit, and welcoming... not to mention, it is in an amazing shopping center with so many hidden gems like Love Letter Pizza & Chicken, the Galleria Food Wholesale, and the CHUBBY Skewers and the KBBQ place a few doors over. Just beware of the busy parking lot as it is very busy and a bit tricky in finding parking so easily. My only genuine complaint about Tenju Tea House is the self-service machine at the counter will automatically charge a $2 tip for all transactions without the customer's authorization and without any obvious proper notice. Yet, the tea and the food is really good here. So I did not mind the $2 tip on my transaction for one tea beverage. If you want to avoid this automatic tip on your electronic transaction from the self-service kiosk and perhaps tip more?... then be sure to have one of the staff process your charge. Then tip how you feel you'd like to. read more

The popcorn chicken and fried apps at this location are pretty darn good. Teas are on the sweeter side so adjust your sugar levels accordingly, I'd go 15% lower than usual. Otherwise just your standard boba tea shop serving up yummy snacks. 4 solid stars read more

Came here to do some work! They have about 3-4 tables. There is wi-fi and a clean restroom. People come and go here! I didn't catch the employee's name but he deserves a raise!! He was super welcoming and explained the questions I had about each of the teas. The drink itself, I got a Lady Londonderry milk tea with their tapioca mochi topping that is a special topping they had currently. When I tried their sample of it, it was delicious! But when I got my drink, while the topping was good-- it was hard to drink through the straw.. so feedback would be to cut it in smaller pieces otherwise, you'll struggle to use your straw to poke it to eat it after having to open the lid (which is way too much work) read more

I.... LOVE.... TENJU.....!! If you love the taste of tea, this is the place has real brewed tea! Why you should come: - Affordable - delicious - lots of alternatives including sweeteners - very willing to make adjustments - stamp card that won't expire - free WiFi - clean bathrooms - food options - everyone I met is super nice and accommodating - good boba Yes you have to wait a tad if you want fresh tea.. but if that bothers you then you are not a true tea drinker.. mic drop.. lol but seriously this is a great place! My favs: - roasty type of milk tea (Goddess or hojicha) - jasmine green milk tea - oat milk barely tea - monk - I would recommend adjusting the sweetness- personally I like no sweet read more

Tried tenju on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed it! I tried the lychee oolong tea - it was decent, though I wish it was a bit more tea forward. My friend and I shared popcorn chicken and the creamy corn bites and I really enjoyed both! The corn bites were such a pleasant surprise - nice and creamy and had a nice sweetness. Popcorn chicken was very solid. Service was super friendly! Decent amount of seating inside. Parking lot is large but there's lots of businesses that share the lot, so it took a couple laps around to find a parking spot. read more

came here about 30 minutes before closing & i ordered the lychee oolong tea. it's a signature drink so it's one size only and was $7. kind of expensive for what it is. tbh the lychee flavoring was lacking in my opinion. its also not very sweet at all. if you're into tea forward drinks or your drinks less sweet, this might be good to you! i added on honey boba (+$0.65) and the boba was hard but i'd give the benefit of the doubt that it was just the end of the night pretty spacious store with minimal seating along the sides of the wall. there's a kiosk to order from read more

The lychee oolong tea was mid. Monk blend was delicious. Took about 10 minutes after ordering to get the drink. The monk blend was just sweet, but monk fruit is just a sub tropical fruit that is sweet, so it was as expected. The lychee oolong was mid, the lychee and oolong flavor was confusing me. Not sure if it's because I had the monk blend as well, but the lychee oolong flavor just wasn't to my liking. I think it would've tasted better if there was a stronger distinct taste of either lychee or oolong. I saw a lot of good reviews about the monk blend, so I'm glad that choice worked out! read more

My drink was great, and the popcorn chicken was definitely some of best I've ever had. The caveat though is that I had to wait for literally 45 minutes for the chicken to come out. I'd understand if they were backed up, but I was only the second person in line, with nobody else behind me afterwards for the next hour. I'm not sure this was just an outlier or the norm, but you'll have to decide for yourself whether it's worth the wait, or if you'd rather go to Quickly around the corner. read more

Haven't been to Tenju in YEARS. They used to be connected to a random grocery store(?) but so so happy to see them with their own spot. Their tea is high quality and I don't have to worry about adjusting the sweetness. I always come here after a big meal so haven't tried their snackies yet. Dragged my friend here and he thought his drink tasted "watered down" but he's the type to always get Thai tea (aka sweetest milk tea you can get besides brown sugar). So.. his opinion is invalid in my eyes. My Iron Goddess milk tea tasted rich and lovely with notes of caramel and light fruit notes AS QUALITY MILK TEAS SHOULD!! read more

I've been coming to this place even since they were still in the previous location. Glad that they moved here few years back. I usually get their rose milk tea, which is so good! They take tea making seriously and use premium ingredients. For snacks, I love their Cream Corn Nuggets. As far as I know, there's no other place that sells this. The sweetness of cream corn combined with the salty & a bit of spices on the outer part of these yummy nuggets are just perfect for me. A must try snack! Popcorn chicken is so good too. There's a kiosk that you can use to place your order or a staff will help you. There are a few tables and chairs inside that you can use too. read more

Tea flavor is always fragrant here, if you are the fan of strong tea, I'd recommend this place. My favorite: Lychee Oolong Tea where it has real lychee and made with lychee puree. Boba is on a chewy side, which is a plus to me. read more

There is a lot of tea places in this plaza and the others were super busy, so we settled on coming in here because we wanted a place to sit and chat. I got a cherry rose milk tea. It wasn't the best tea I had. It seemed like it was more milk than tea that was watered down. I did get it half sweet but it just tasted like they took out the flavor. While my friends and I were sitting, a lot of people were walking in and out ordering their drinks to go. The popcorn chicken smelled really good, so maybe I will try that next time. Overall, I had a decent experience and might come back to try their other drinks and food. read more

I've come a couple times to this plaza so I decided to try out this place. Came after eating spicy skewers with my gf. We wanted a tea and it was close by. The inside of the store isn't too big, standard boba store size. We ordered and then waited, but there wasn't really a line. I ended up coming at another time again and the line wasn't long. I got the monk's blend. This turns out to be one of the better fruit tea's I've had! I can't out my finger on it but I really liked it. I tried my gf's milk tea and it seemed decent? Not as good as the monk's blend I would recommend this place for a stop by :) read more

Our absolute fave even though we have moved nearly one hour away and subject ourselves to terrible traffic in this plaza. We will go the distance to get Tenju when we're in the area. Husband loves their Assam Milk Tea and always gets two toppings: pudding and boba. I usually switch it up based on my moods, but have recently been obsessed with cheese foam or any form of cream top. I got the Cream Topped Jasmine Green Tea sweetened with honey and it was absolutely amazing. Other faves have been the Matcha Latte with red bean, Lychee Oolong with lychee jelly and matcha drinks. They were open during Christmas and will be open on New Years as well. If we lived closer, husband would come here weekly! For now, we come when we can and it hits every time. read more

1/17/25 - Most boba shops are closed by 9pm, but lucky for us Tenju was still open after we had dinner at Chubby Skewer in the same plaza. It closes at 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but 10pm on all other days. You can order at the register and get a stamp card, for a free drink after 10 drinks bought. You can also order at the kiosk which has the option to sign up for their loyalty program using your phone number. Drinks cost about $6.00 with an extra $0.75 for toppings. For purchases under $15, using a credit card will issue a $0.35 fee. So if you're with a group, pay together! The girl behind the register was helpful, giving us recommendations of drinks based on different flavor profiles we were interested in. I ordered the Iron Goddess and it was good! I liked that the boba was chewy. The quality of the drinks was there, but I do wish there was more quantity in what I was drinking. Based on the quantity, the drinks are on the pricier side. I do want to come back and try their other drinks! read more
