    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.

    Passionfruit Green Tea
    Andrea H.

    Passion fruit green tea and popcorn chicken were so BOMB! Would love to come back the next time i am in the area. Highly recommend!!

    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!

    Buckwheat Milk Tea
    Jonathan L.

    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.

    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!

    Taiwanese sausage
    Lydia P.

    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.

    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. My favorite snack to get is their popcorn chicken and squid balls. Parking in this lot is a nightmare though, be prepared!

    Peach black tea
    Jenn R.

    Stoped in for a tea. Tea was very fresh and tasty. The girl who was working was very sweet and helpful. Plenty of seating.

    Tofu on left. Popcorn chicken on right. Monks tea
    Susan N.

    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

    Strawberry Green Tea, Passion Fruit Green Tea, Popcorn Chicken - Best In Town, String Tempura (Taiwanese Fish Cake)
    Michelle T.

    Good spot for a small fried snack or boba. It was $10 for popcorn chicken and $8 for string tempura fish cakes. There's different spice levels for the fried food. Service was good. Staff are nice.

    Ying L.

    Picked up a peach green tea. Very flavorful. Friendly and fast service. They do offer in door seating.

    Strawberry Basil Lemonade
    Ryan S.

    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.

    Hojicha without any sugar.
    Tina P.

    I used to come here all the time. The service here has always been nice and whenever I can I try to come back. They have a large variety of teas to choose from and I get my drinks without any sugar. They are very accommodating and helpful. They also have tins of tea for sale, I tend to buy a few but my favorite one was out (I believe it is the rose green tea).

    Fried tofu and pop corn chicken.  Pretty darn good at this location.

    When will the Irvine location be open?

    Yes, we close early in accordance to LA County curfew. For today 6/1/2020 Monday, we closed at 6pm. Thank you for your support! Stay safe!

    Do they have outlet to plug laptops in in the seating area?

    Yes they do have that

    Are there dairy alternatives here (eg. Soy milk)?

    They use a coconut powder based non-dairy creamer, so it's completely non-dairy, per management. Other than that they do not have soy or oat milk alternatives.

    What does the monks blend taste like?

    Monks Blend has a very unique flavor that you don't get anywhere else. Its base is a Ceylon black tea with notes of vanilla and grenadine. It tastes very fruity, sweet and very refreshing when served iced and very comforting like a hot apple cider… Read more

Ordering in person was also a long wait for about 40 minutes. Mines was definitely worse since I ordered on the phone ahead of time (15 minutes to get to the store), i still have to wait 40 minutes after arrival. My total wait time from order to actually receiving the order is 60 minutes. Drink was extremely delicious but not the wait. And the disorganization. From the very beginning I waited in the store I told them to put two orders together and gave them the two numbers. They put the order next to each other and by the time the number is "ready for pick-up" on the screen, we went to ask them and my drink still wasn't ready. They can't even find my ticket and had to asked me to wait another 5 minutes. After waiting for 5 more minutes, it was shift change and it was someone else calling out the number and I have to ask them again because my drink is now just sitting there on the counter. WORSE SERVICE! I rather drive to Irvine location for this tea. Never again City of Industry. Order #11095 and #35858

The shop features a small, cozy interior that's perfect for enjoying a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day. Service was friendly and efficient, and our desserts were prepared quickly despite being made fresh to order. The menu offers a creative selection of mochi-based treats with plenty of customizable toppings, and everything we tried was beautifully presented. Best of all, none of the desserts were overly sweet, making each bite feel light and perfectly balanced. **Matcha Mochi Dip: 5/5** If you're a matcha enthusiast, this dessert is an absolute must-order. The freshly made mochi was incredibly pillowy and chewy, making every bite irresistible. A generous coating of rich matcha delivered a bold, earthy flavor, while crisp crumbled crêpe flakes added a delicate, buttery crunch that contrasted perfectly with the mochi's soft, elastic texture. Dipping each piece into the silky cheese foam introduced a creamy, lightly salted richness that balanced the matcha's pleasant bitterness beautifully. **Classic Snowy Ice Mochi Pops: 5/5** Served with an irresistible assortment of toppings, this dessert was both visually stunning and incredibly satisfying. Fluffy, milky shaved snow melted effortlessly in my mouth, providing the perfect canvas for the dessert's vibrant mix of flavors and textures. The kinako mochi was wonderfully chewy, with the roasted soybean powder lending a warm, nutty profile that added depth to each bite. One of the standout toppings was the housemade milk mochi, which had a rich, creamy flavor with a pronounced milky aroma that paired beautifully with the delicate shaved snow. The adorable bear-shaped coconut jelly was silky and subtly sweet, while the grass jelly added a pleasant herbal note that balanced everything nicely. A side of velvety cheese foam provided a luscious, lightly savory finish that complemented the dessert's gentle sweetness perfectly. Every element came together seamlessly to create a treat that was light and refreshing from start to finish. Miro Mochi is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy creative Chinese-inspired desserts with a modern twist. From the irresistibly adorable presentation to the exceptionally gooey, stretchy housemade milk mochi, every dessert showcases the care and craftsmanship behind each creation. Needless to say, I'll be back to satisfy my next mochi craving.

The place is decked out with all sorts of Street Fighter theme. Very cool decors. I loved that they also have the Street Fighter Arcade game for us to play while we wait on our drinks. This theme will last until the end of June 30, 2026. Not sure what the next theme will be. I did ask one of the staffs and she said they are not supposed to reveal what the next theme will be. For the Street Fighter theme, they only have four drinks. 1. Ryu - Lychee Slush with Dragon Fruit Popping Boba 2. Guile - Mango Dream with Military Green Apple Star Jelly 3. Ken - Strawberry Mango Green Tea with Chamoy Swirl 4. Chun-Li - Blue Curacao Lemonade with Lychee Jelly We ended up ordering the Ryu and Chun-Li drinks. Both came in a cool looking Street Fighter theme containers. Both drinks were refreshing, but I like the Ryu drink a little better. Also got a chance to play a little bit of the Street Fighter Arcade game while enjoying my drink. Overall, we had a fun time here.

My wife and I have never been here but for anything Street Fighter I had to check it out. I'm a huge fan of the video game and they hit the mark on everything! There's a specific themed menu for this collab with 4 drinks. The set up is pretty much kiosk ordering, but staff will help as needed. The whole vibe set up inside was so cool! All the table are designed with the stages in the video game. The walls have a bunch of posters. There's a shelf with toys and collectibles. They have the arcade set up for free play of Street Fighter as well. We ended up ordering the Ken & Guile Drinks. Ken Drink - STRAWBERRY MANGO GREEN TEA WITH CHAMOY SWIRL Guile Drink - MANGO DREAM WITH MILITARY GREEN APPLE STAR JELLY We enjoyed them and would recommend. The Ken one was refreshing and light. The Guile one was delicious with good amount of sweetness. We might need to come back again and try the other two. Per the staff they do different collaborations each month. We had a great time hanging out in here. I loved the whole vibe. Thanks, Thirsty Waters! ( ^_^)b
