BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. I ordered the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice). When thoroughly mixed, this drink carries a cuddly sweetness. It succeeds with capturing that fresh brûlée flavor. Unfortunately, its boba pearl's texture resembled wet glue. I arrived at BenGong's Tea (Walnut) on Sunday (around 11:44AM). Parking was easy that weekend. The lot is very big. This business is located across Mt. Sac. (aka: Mt. San Antonio College). Staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. There's no self-service kiosk, so Staff (receipt says Merrielle) helps guide the customer with sweetness level and ice level. Merrielle gave wonderful recommendations, and Merrielle worked hard. The drink took three minutes and nine seconds. Good pace! As mentioned, the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) presented immense potential. I genuinely enjoyed its presentation and flavors, however, the boba felt below average. As I continued to chew that boba, my smile slowly vanished. It tasted like mochi dough after a while. Hopefully, the boba improves in the future. Concerning ambiance, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt dusty and unclean. Despite arriving near opening hours, I found old long strands of hairs on its chairs. There's also thick swathes of dust collecting on the windows' crevices. The sofa had old dried stains. And despite its attempt to look modern, the place felt dusty and worn-down with age the longer I lingered. My eyes transfixed on a small fruit fly that lazily crawled along its white wall. All in all, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt like a place that lost its passion. Fortunately, there's still utility at BenGong's Tea (Walnut). There's customer internet with password; the details are posted on the counter. There's also two electrical outlets (but one is somewhat uncomfortable to use). There's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Also, the music is very soft. However, the location is a little cramped. There's about three tables. Overall, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. The Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) carried good flavors. With time, I only hope this location improves. 3.9 out of 5
Tried their crème brûlée mill tea and their grape sparkling tea. Both had the right amount of sweetness and i like how they used real grapes. They put a decent amount in it as well.
My fiancé ordered two drinks here today and let me say it was totally awkward. First, the Chinese lady behind the counter asked her to order in Chinese when she was literally reading off the drink names in English from the menu and gave her an attitude. My fiancé ordered a Red Bean Sago Milk Tea and a Strawberry Cheese Slush for me. My drink was fine, but nothing special about it. My fiancés drink on the other hand was another story. Let's start by saying they ran out of sago, but didn't tell her until after the order was placed. They didn't allow her to change drink orders nor would they let her substitute the missing sago out for something else. She was only allowed to change the ingredients on the list for that drink. Totally unacceptable. There is literally a R&B Tea a few shops down from this one, but my fiancé wanted to give them a shot. Big mistake. I would recommend walking pass this shop and going to other options. Any other option to be quite honest.
Came here after eating lunch in the plaza. There are like a million boba shops in the plaza so it's hard to choose where to go. We ordered online to get it faster but it was a decently sized order so it still took some waiting before we got our drinks. The vibes were okay. It's right next to a college so I assume there are quite a bit of students that go there after class. I'm not sure if the store is trying to save money either but it was pretty warm inside. It didn't feel like the ac was on so we waited outside where it was much cooler. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong cloud and it tasted great. There were some bits in there that gave it some texture which I love. It definitely has a unique taste to it which is why I'm more drawn to coming here compared to other places. I've tried their mango sago drink before too and that's probably my favorite. I'd come here again if I were in the area!
This was one of the worst boba place we've been to. It used to be really good, but has definitely gone downhill. Ordered the Burnt Brulee Boba Milk Tea & Burnt-Brown Sugar Boba Tea. Both drinks tasted really funky and had a weird flavor, like expired milk or so. We ended up tossing them away cuz it made our stomach upset. Service wasn't great either. Felt ignored when we arrive and took a while for our drinks to be made.
This place does not serve what you actually order. I ordered shrimp balls with my oden, but instead received pink, artificially colored leftover balls, falsely labeled as shrimp balls. This is misleading, unacceptable, and deceptive. Customers should be aware that the food does not match the menu description.
We're usually big fans of BenGong's, and we ordered our usual: 2 peach oolong milk teas (light ice, half sugar), 1 with 25% sugar, and a fruit green tea. But this time, the peach oolong milk tea had a noticeably sour taste--not the usual smooth and refreshing flavor we're used to. Not sure if it was the tea base or the milk, but it threw us off a bit. The fruit green tea was still nice and fresh, but overall, this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Hoping it was just a one-off, because we've had much better from here before!
Come for the wishing tree at BenGong's Tea - Walnut, but don't expect too much from their drinks. My niece and I came here to hang out and chat, and to make wishes. There are a few tables and a sofa to hang out around. Service was pretty unfriendly and we felt rushed even when there was no one behind us. My niece ordered their Passion Fruit Super Fruit Cup ($6.50) 50% sweet and I ordered a Strawberry Yakult Tea ($6.50) 75% sweet. You will have to ask for the wishing paper when you order because they keep it behind the counter. The yarn, scissors and pens are by the tree. The drinks were made pretty slow cause we had time to think about our wishes, write them out, and hang them up before the drinks were done. When we got them it looked so refreshing but it tasted so bad. My niece was saying how her fruit was albino with no color and sadly stale. It took away from the drink and would have been better off with just the tea. Also there was so much fruit, it took up a lot of the volume of the cup. I typically like strawberry yakult drinks from other tea houses but this was bitter and still sweet even though I reduced the sweetness. It was nice to try and I really like their wishing tree... but the drinks are not giving me a reason to come back.
The aesthetic of this place is reason enough to stop by. The service will convince you to order, cause from the minute you walk in, you are welcome with a smile. The FLAVOR of this Peach Milk Tea will turn you into a fan. I want to say this is one of the best, IF NOT the best one I've had in the entire SGV area. This is by far a fave summer rec of mine. Prices are still reasonable, and the place usually has plenty of parking. Located in a busy school area this is your stop for a quick afternoon boba tea break.
Small boba shop located across Mt. SAC. A ton of different drink options, all of which are pretty good. I tried the passion fruit yakult, and while I wouldn't try it again - my friend's tiramisu drink was way better. Staff are friendly, and drinks come out quick. It's a quiet place to hangout and chill with friends. Parking can get kind of atrocious in this plaza.
Starting off, I love the amount of options on the menu. My friend and I ordered the strawberry cheese slush and it was good. I also tried the taro milk slush another time and it was delightful. There's comfortable seating here, I love that the chairs are comfortable to sit in and there's plenty of space on the table if you want to sit here and do work. I've been here twice already and the service is friendly, but has been slow both times considering there weren't many people in the store.
BenGong's tea is located right across Habits burger and in the plaza directly across Mt SAC. I ordered Mango Pomelo Sago one of their signature drink. Honestly it tastes good texture wise. But the flavor and drink didn't impress me. Service is friendly and you order at counter as I don't see a kiosk. Ambience of store is really simple, clean, and modern.
Stopped in after lunch to pickup some boba drinks for my family. This is such a cute boba shop, it is clean, bright and staff was friendly and polite. They have a wide variety of different teas, milk teas and cheese teas. So many different options to choose from. The young lady who took my order helped explained what goes well with what. She was very thorough. I really appreciated that and it was nice she wasn't trying to rush through my orders. The milk teas and strawberry sparking tea I order were very consistent with taste and textures of bobas were nice soft and chewy. They have this cute wishing tree set up in the front you can write down you 2024 wish and hang it on the tree. I thought it was a nice touch given it's the holiday season. Definitely recommend!!!
We tried their burnt brûlée boba milk tea and burnt caramel cheese milk tea today and they both tasted so good! I especially like burnt brûlée boba milk tea coz it was more flavorful and I like crème brûlée flavor. The boba was so soft and easy to chew! The burnt caramel cheese milk tea was not as sweet as the brûlée but I could taste the milk flavor. P.S. we don't know why this boba place smells like dental office though but their drinks are so good. read more

Great new boba shop in discovery! Service was excellent, really friendly sweet owners. I tried the peach yakult tea- it was so refreshing, fresh fruit no artificial flavoring & the Crystal boba paired nicely along with it. Prices aren't too bad either, and most drinks have toppings included. I'm definitely going to try other drinks! read more
Good vive, delicious drinks, and clean set-up. Staff was helpful and kind. We got peach oolong milk tea and mango drink. I enjoyed their popping boba a lot. I think the popping boba ha this barley (?) in it which makes the boba more enjoyable read more

The ambiance of the place was really nice. The tables are clean, great lighting, looks like a great place to study (caveat: I didn't see power outlets and not sure if there's WiFi or not). There was a cute wish tree. It took over 20 minutes to make 2 drinks. There was only one order with one drink in front of us. We were updated why it was taking so long. The staff taking orders didn't say a word. I get it, it's rough dealing with customers all day and we all have personal things we're going through. But there was a good 15 seconds where we stood there waiting for the staff to say hello or indicate that we can order but no response. There weren't busy with anything so it was a little awkward until we broke the silence and ordered. We got Da Hong Pao Milk Tea and Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea. The drinks are on the less sweet side. The drinks were just okay...mediocre at best especially after waiting 20 minutes. The tea seems watered down. The boba was soft, not chewy. read more
New location near me now. So I can drink more often. The environment is very nice and nice place to chili with my friends. I like Peach Oolong milk tea w/ cream top and Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea a lot!!! Everyone go try out this new boba place! read more

I came here after passing by. I chose to get the mango pomelo sago and peach yakult for $6.25 each. I like that they were not too sweet. The drinks had good bits of fruit in them and the sago was not over cooked. The place is clean and the staff is nice. Located in the plaza across mt sac. read more
The workers are lovely and it's a nice space to grab a quick drink and go, but the drinks disappointed me for the premium price. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing -- I got the peach oolong milk tea special and the tea did not taste strongly of peach or oolong to me, and the strangest thing was that I think there were 3-4 different toppings inside mine when I just ordered boba. I think it comes with the drink(?) so I did have a bit of boba that I ordered inside, but also what seemed also like popping boba, crystal boba, and barley. It was a very weird taste and texture altogether, and I would have far more enjoyed my drink with just boba. There was also a disturbingly strong smell of ammonia throughout the store, perhaps from cleaning. As much as I appreciate the cleanliness, it wasn't the most pleasant smell to have while drinking something sweet. read more

I was looking for an additional Tea Shop the other day and Yelped my way here to 'BenGong's Tea,' which is the same chain as the one from Arcadia, CA. I'm not sure if it's owned by the same folks or all diff owners but their drinks sure were all super tasty!!!! I got me 3 drinks to go as shown in a pic below. The cashier was friendly and informed me about their rewards' system. I signed up for that right away. This BenGong's Tea Shop is conveniently located across from Mt.Sac, our community college inside the Jack in the Box plaza. I got their special milk tea to go and another flavor: their boba pieces turned out extremely chewy. Will be back again soon. Cya next time, 'BenGong's Tea,' Walnut. read more

Another cute boba place!! First time trying Ben Gong's and I'm happy I did. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The inside of the shop is really cute, has a wishing tree as well as some chairs, tables, and a sofa. There's two outlets I saw as well, and the tables are big enough that you can study here. I got the uji matcha boba tea, sooooo yummy! I drank it so fast even though we had come here after dinner. They have so many other drinks on the menu I want to try, like a mango sago pomelo and peach yakult drink. Next time for sure! Definitely give this boba place a try!! read more

It's the worst tea place I've ever tried in socal, period. My wife and I both got fruit tea and they are both watery and tasteless. It's actually astonishing that they can make the fruit tea this bad. They are so many good places like champion, tiger, 3cat, wushuland.... Why torture yourself by choosing this place? Don't trust Yelp reviews as we highly suspect that some 5star reviews were paid. read more

Ben Gong never disappoints! First of their drinks are wonderfully made. The staff will help you pick one of their many options if your are indecisive, like me. On this particular visit I tried the tea cube with green milk tea. I requested with less sugar and when I got it it was just right! Not too sweet! The drink was perfect blend of bittersweet from the green tea and creamy from the milk. The tea cubes are little jellies and it's a great alternative to boba. Overall a nice refreshing drink for a very warm summer day. The store is bright, cool and well kept. As you walk in there's a wishing tree where customers and write down little notes for an optimistic outcome. With so many other boba places nearby Ben Gong tea is worth giving a try. read more

I need to update my review since I have returned to try their drinks. I originally wanted to get the Purple Taro Fresh milk but they didn't have taro available so instead I ordered the Tiramisu Special Milk tea with 75% less sweet. In usual BenGong fashion, presentation was so beautiful and the drink tasted so good. I love how you can taste the tea in their drinks. The boba was also warm, fresh and chewy. And the best part was I didn't have to wait 30 min for my drink! read more
I'm glad this opened up close by!!! Clean and had a chic vibe kind of boba place finally, as it needs to be specially across college areas. Great place to be to study up. They have one of my fave bobas here too, the sesame drink was yummy with real sesame seeds topping in foam cheese. It's like cuisine boba here, I love all their choices here!! And of course the boba was just perfect hint of softness and gelatinous flavor. I was greeted by a really helpful cashier when I asked how to join their frequent customer points system, he helped non reluctantly. I can't wait to come back and try more and perhaps just bring my laptop to study here! read more

This place is so yummy! I would definitely return. I ordered a black sesame slush 50% sweet with sago and it was amazing. I wished I had done a little sweeter, maybe 75% sweet, but eventually made peace with what I ordered. It is not too cold, very well blended and great flavors! The ambience is great for socializing and studying! Service is good, could be great. read more
Other than the little snag with not having non-dairy alternatives at the moment, everything was authentic tea brewed flavor. My gf was impressed by the Osmantheous rice milk tea which was part of their promotion for a IG follow to pick a drink at random. It wasn't overly sweet which she liked. Mine was supposed to be peach oolong milk tea with almond milk but they didn't have almond milk which I would've loved to try that day. Guess I'll have to go back and try again when I'm in the area again. I liked my peach oolong tea hot cause it was a cold rainy day so no complaints. read more
I tried the mango pomelo sago. Would I get it again? Probably not. I don't know if it was the cup design or the the fact that they went past where the cup and lid come together, but my drink kept leaking which was super inconvenient as I was taking it to go. I had to keep stopping to wipe things up. The store itself is cute. Looks like a good place to study. Maybe their other drinks are better, but it looks like they have competition because there are multiple tea places in that plaza. Service was fine. read more

The boba I tasted was the absolute worst. The mango sago looked nothing like the picture, but I gave it a shot. Sadly, it was flavorless and watery, akin to sipping melted icy milk. No wonder no one inside the shop. Waste my 7$ read more

Hmm. For the drinks that we got, they were all pretty average. They were all milk teas, but all of them tasted more like sweet milk rather than a nice balance of milk AND tea/taro.The regular milk tea was like pure milk while the burnt one at least had some flavor. The black rice taro was fine, but again, I wish it had more taro flavor than milk. Boba was closer to mush, but that may just be personal preference as I like mine a little more firm and "bouncy". Customer service was fine, I just felt rushed while trying to order as the cashier would either speak too fast, or not understand what I was saying so I had to repeat myself a couple times. Even then, I somehow ended up with a third drink instead of boba in my black rice taro lol? Given I should've asked why my order was almost $20, but I just was kind of confused and wanted to end talking. The cashier was also talking with a coworker while taking my order a bit so I don't know if that contributed to anything. The interior was pretty and the online menu was well designed! Perhaps if I'm in the area again I'll have to give it another shot and try something that isn't milk tea. read more

I thought this would be a good shop to write my first review on. I finally found a shop worthy of writing a review. The service was as good as you could expect, the cashier was very nice and patient in presenting and explaining popular and tasty drinks. I ended up ordering the Ulji Matcha Cheese Slush. It was very good and I liked the sweetness level with the matcha flavor infused. Bengong's Tea is a small shop that is very modern and the environment is peaceful and comfortable. I will definitely recommend and bring friends here again on multiple occasions! P.S. They also have a tree to write your wishes and resolutions on it and it is really awesome to see others' resolutions! read more

Ben Gong is such a cute place that I like to visit every once in a while!! I love the mango sago drink, I love it so much I sometimes wish I could get two all for myself.. I only have a photo of the Tiramisu drink though, which I also enjoy. Service is quick too! read more

More like 3.5 Good tea. Service is not great at the time we went. The guy making the tea was talking to the phone the entire time (he's loud) and we waited for a long time to get all our order. We had to come up the counter cause to check and he did put it in the fridge instead of giving it to us. read more
