Ordered a drink and waffle, served out 4-5 orders before even noticing they had finished our drink was already complete. It took a whole THIRTY PLUS minutes before a worker let us know the waffle had to be remade and that we had to wait ANOTHER few minutes. On top of that, the drinks are mediocre at best and grossly overpriced. We were compensated with free macarons but the time taken was unacceptable. read more

Great drinks, great desserts. Little slow, but overall a strong boba place! Highly recommend as long as you have the time :)

Not many boba places in South Bay or Gardena area are open late but this spot closes at 11 pm. I honestly forgot exactly what I ordered but I know that the drinks were good, boba was tasty and chewy, and the popcorn chicken was amazing! Service was pretty fast read more

Delicious food especially cookies and cream boba! Would definitely come here after tasting their boba.

Service was horrible and when I say horrible the worst ! The boba is good but the service I would say be prepared for people that don't want to help and even like the job. People waiting forever and probably annoyed for same reason I found out. read more

Craved some boba and found this spot via Google maps. It's a small mom and pop place for a quick grab and go drink. I had the thai tea with extra boba, so it wasn't cheap. The flavor was as expected, and boba was just right. No complaints there. There are only 4 tables to sit at, so if you are looking for someplace to chill and study or work on your computer, this is not for you. Find a Starbucks or Barnes and Noble. read more

Bubble Tea review #99! I've written a lot more but those businesses fall under other categories (cafes, coffee & tea, desserts, etc). The first time I had boba was in elementary school. I think it was from here actually, or maybe it was Lollicup. Anyways, I didn't love it at all and was super grossed out by the texture. So growing up, this was just a smoothie shop to me. I didn't ever order it again and I didn't feel the need to add any of those choking hazards to my drinks. Fast forward several years... preferences change, immature minds develop, and perspectives broaden. Now it's an unhealthy addiction that I have to moderate! Reflecting back, I now understand why I didn't like it then. Because the quality here is not good! This used to be Boba Time, which is different from It's Boba Time. Besides drinks, they also sell shaved ice, crepes, taiyaki, and other savory snacks. There's an extra surcharge for using your credit card. Thai Milk Tea tasted artificial and my mom felt it was too sweet even with the lower sugar adjustments. The Cookies & Cream shake was blended pretty well, but subtle on the cookie flavor. The boba I got reminded me of the past: slimy, tasteless balls of starch. Fond childhood memories here but the power of nostalgia is not enough to warrant another visit. read more

This boba place always seems low staffed. The drinks always taste like they were made in a rush. Either too runny or overly sweet. Would not recommend. It seems busy yet there aren't ever a lot of people inside the store so I don't get the extreme long wait times. Won't be returning back. read more

I recently visited boba with the expectation of enjoying a refreshing and delightful smoothie experience. Unfortunately, my visit was anything but enjoyable due to the horrible service I encountered. I placed an order for a coconut frappe. I was able to take my order with no problem, however when tried the drink it had a strong taste of coffee. I have a stomach issue that prevents me from having caffeine, therefore when I tasted it I mentioned it and I asked to switched the drink since I didn't order anything with coffee. The lady at the front told me she had to check with her boss (the business owner) she said in order for me to get another drink I would have to pay for it. I asked to speak with the business owner and she was extremely rude telling me all the Frappe drinks have coffee, which is not true. My girlfriend got a strawberry frappe and it had no coffee in it. At the end she ended up telling me there was nothing with what I order as she slammed the drink in the counter. I would have understood if what I ordered was wrong but nowhere in their menu says the frappe drinks contain caffeine. She blamed me for having this drink as she said I should have asked if I it had coffee. This was by far the worst customer experience I have ever received. If I could give it a 0 I would. I would not recommend boba beast and suggest finding an alternative location where customers are valued and treated with respect. read more

Listen up big backs. Im not sure why this place has bad reviews but ive been here a few times and each time it has been pleasant. Tiffany (owner) checked in with us and asked how we enjoyed our drinks. We loved it! The drinks have been consistent and the workers are super nice and attentive. This place deserves a higher review than its current rating. TBH the drinks here have been tasting better than the drinks at ding tea. Come on big backs, let's unite and try this place out! We got the thai tea, winter melon milk tea, & honeydew milk tea. All of which could do well at 75% sugar! Will come back again soon! read more

Honestly worst customer service ever "manager" was getting mad at everyone including the customers for making the wrong drinks. Definitely understaffed. Very unprofessional also drinks watered down :( valen verggg read more

I called in to place an order but they said that they didn't accept phone orders and that I had to make an online order. So I placed the online order and when I got there I had to wait 30 minutes because they didn't receive a ticket. So I checked on my bank account and it was already charged but they told me to wait longer so I waited for almost one hour for a drink!!!!! The service was really poor as the cashier did not know what to do and was wasting my time especially since I was on my lunch break. Then after almost an hour they said they couldn't cancel the funds and told me to pay again!!!!! So after that I paid twice and had to file for a dispute with my bank. Wow! I will definitely not be coming back here again. read more

Amazing service I will definitely come back very good service the owner was amazing and very kind

It was my first and my last time trying Boba Beast. Drinks with toppings are overpriced. I ordered a strawberry Hibiscus green tea with rainbow jelly. The person who bought the drink out had gave me with boba, which I didn't ask for. How can this place get my topping mixed up? The person who took my order did not bother to ask me how sweet I wanted. If the strawberry hibiscus green tea was too sweet, I would not get it again. I want to ask if they can remake it but they are already gone to the kitchen. It is not worth coming to this boba shop read more

Really nice owner, I like the chamango and had a good vibe, crepes were good, she was kind enough to give free sample good day

I had ordered via Uber Eats and maybe it was too close to closing (30 minutes) but one of my drinks was a strawberry yogurt drink with boba and it tasted ... a bit bland and expired... Assuming the product is not expired it's being consumed, but I really hope the next time I drop in I'm not so close to closing and everything tastes fresher. I really do love their slushes and other flavors read more

Great tasting drinks. Menu variety. Friendly service! I've driven by this place, but never tried it. I had some extra time and decided to go inside. The interior was clean and lively with other customers enjoying drinks. I was excited to see the variety of their menu from the teas, macaroons, desserts, and crepes! I tried Taro slush with Crystal boba and Jasmine green tea with passion fruit popping boba. Both were fantastic. I appreciate the taro milk slush was made with NO Milk! It was non dairy , which made my tummy happy. The jasmine iced green tea was not too sweet, I asked for 25% sweetener since it comes unsweetened. I loved it and yes, I ordered two. I'm glad I stopped by and am looking forward to trying the crepes next time. I suggest you give this place a try. read more

I absolutely love boba and I've lived around the corner from the place for a couple years now and finally decided to give it a try and I am so mad that I didn't come sooner. It's a nice little shop, probably only enough seating for 4-6 people comfortably. There are even a couple of games for those who are staying. Their drink menu has plenty to choose from and the flavors all look amazing. There is also a couple of hot snacks on their menu, as well as some desserts. I loooove Taro and I loooove Oreo. What are the odds of them having a Taro Oreo smoothie?! Well they did and it is now my favorite smoothie. I will definitely be coming back to try some more flavors, especially since I live extremely close read more

Our first visit. Love the logo. The menu is large like most boba places. They have a selection of sweets on display. I ordered the dabang coffee. It was too sweet for me; so I traded with my husband. He ordered the watermelon slush. Much better. We'll try it again. I just have to find a drink I like. read more

Love the look and feel of this little jewel I found in the heart of Gardena. I'm infatuated with the iced Dabang coffee , so delicious !

Despite being open late, and the drinks being decent. This business overcharges customer to an extreme. To add toppings to your drinks it's an extra $2.00. While I can understand the demand and increase in prices of supplies, to charge people $10 a drink is a scam. read more

The boba was alright. Don't waste your time coming here there are plenty other shops that are better than this one. The owner is extremely rude ESPECIALLY to her workers. I experienced her yelling at them and overheard how she body shames them. The place is a mess as well. 0/10 read more

Can at least put some powered sugar on the crepes I felt like I ate a tortilla with banana and strawberries ridiculously cheap the picture is false advertisement . Why would u charge more for powder sugar thats horrible and sad to charge when you're paying more than $12 for a crepe with no powder sugar . read more

Tried Boba Beast for the first time today and was really impressed. The gentlemen who helped us was very friendly and helpful. My son had 2 macarons, lemon and chocolate, and he loved them both. We also tried the raspberry cheesecake and it was really good. I had a strawberry mango smoothie and it was delicious. I thought it was cool that they had a couple table games for kids. The overall look of the location is nice too. Overall it was a good experience :) read more

After having an amazing meal at Pho Daily, I decided to skip the Thai Tea to try the shakes at Boba Beast. I asked the girl at the counter what's their most popular flavor for shakes, at the same time looking at the digital board that clearly stated REG $5 / LG $5.75. She tells me it's the cookies and cream so I said I'll have that. She asked "Regular?" I said "Sure". I use my ApplePay and get a receipt for $6.24. As I was walking away and realizing this I go back to the girl asked if she charged me for a large. She said no, you wanted a regular. I asked why is it $6.24 if the board said $5. She said OH THE PRICES WENT UP. THOSE WERE THE OLD PRICES. I will admit that I wasn't paying much attention when I ordered the drink, but there should've been some clarity throughout the whole transaction that the prices did go up. After this experience, followed by an extremely sub par milkshake, I will definitely not be coming back to Boba Beast ever again. read more

The tempura fries (with cheese) are worth the visit. Perfectly flavored to eat with or without the beast sauce. I add some popcorn chicken for the perfect cheat meal. Smoothies are always refreshing. Got the strawberry, pineapple and the pineapple banana with boba. Order food ahead of time. It's worth it, but it takes a while. Their website has an online order system and I'd do it around 20 minutes ahead of coming to pick it up. Staff is always nice and friendly. read more

I recall my experience here being satisfactory, but not particularly memorable. They seem to have a pretty nice selection of snacks and beverages. The line at night was surprisingly long (probably because similar businesses in the area were already closed). Parking was not difficult to obtain. read more

I worked at this boba shop, and I feel the need to share my experience for anyone considering working here. Honestly, I couldn't stay any longer because of how toxic the environment was. The boss was incredibly disrespectful to the staff. She would make racist and degrading comments towards us, constantly talking down to employees about their looks, work ethic, and even personal lives. It was shocking how she belittled everyone, not just in private but in front of other employees and customers. She would openly gossip about staff members to others, calling them names or complaining about how they looked or worked. It felt like she had no regard for any of us as people. On top of that, she was constantly yelling and giving rude, harsh commands. It was like walking on eggshells every day because you never knew when you'd be snapped at or humiliated in front of others. I stayed as long as I did because I needed the job, but I ultimately couldn't handle the toxic, degrading atmosphere any longer. No one should have to work in an environment like that. I hope things change, but I wouldn't recommend working here unless you want to deal with constant negativity and disrespect. When I quit this job she told me I owed her money because of an Apple juice that I bought from the shop. She accused me of stealing this for months when I showed her my Apple wallet and that I obviously had purchased it. I went to go pick up my check and she made a scene in front of customers saying I owed her money and she took my check away and refused to give it back until I paid the money I owed her. Once she took the check back she ended up deducting the money HERSELF from my check. Please don't support this business. She constantly is rude towards her employees, takes days to give them their checks, not only the toxic environment but the drinks are overpriced and not even that good and not to mention how unsanitary this place is. I have had to clean dead bugs from the cooler out front and she reuses many things such as sample cups, straws, and the boba cups. She would also yell at us for making samples to give out to customers. Mind you these samples would be out for hours and she would still yell at us to give them out. I have seen employees walk out on their first day just because they could not handle her negative attitude and work ethic. read more

I had a really bad experience at Boba Beast. The owner was rude and dismissive, with no interest in helping or treating customers with basic respect. It felt like I was being rushed and talked down to for no reason. Definitely not a welcoming place. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who values good service especially with these expensive nasty watery drinks ! This place needs to shut down ! read more

Since I'm obsessed with finding new Boba spots, Boba Beast was next on my list to check out. When I pulled into the shared parking lot, I quickly found a spot. When we entered, there was no greeting, and we waited for about 5 mins until someone took our order. I'll let this slide because it looked like they were short-staffed with several orders ahead of me. I ordered a total of 3 drinks; a large mango smoothie with mango popping boba, a large Thai tea with boba, and another Thai Tea with boba in their specialty light bulb glass cup. Seating is available both inside and out. While waiting inside, I noticed some board games to be played. Even though they didn't have a lot of options, this is a great idea to have available for people. When we finally got our drinks, I was excited to take my first sip in this really cool glass lightbulb cup. But unfortunately, the Thai tea was super watered down. I think it was because it looked like they were trying to crush the ice to fit into the cup, and so when they did that, I felt like the ice was already melting super quickly. So when they poured the tea inside, it just made the drink super super watery and was yuck! Also, they really need to get special straws for this specific cup because the straws they had were not long enough for the cup, so I could not get any Boba from the bottom because the straw was so short. So what's the point, right!? The other two drinks were delicious! I took a sip of the other Thai tea in the regular cup, and it was super tasty. Next time I won't be bougie, and I won't get the light bulb cup because it will not be good. I suggest going with the basic cup, and it'll taste a lot better! read more

Not too bad. Small little boba shop in Gardena and first time being back in quite some time. Glad to see everything is still about the same and no real changes. I got the taro smoothie and it was just as good as I remember it. The staff were friendly and greeted us soon as we walked in the door. I think they could use more flavor options but otherwise taste and quality was good! read more

My oh my... I came once again to this boba place because it was a last resort since it's one of the only place open late and wow I have been deeply disappointed again. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea and this drink is supposed to be sweet, and it was TERRIBLE. It wasn't sweet at all and the boba was hard. I've had this drink once before when I first came in and watched the manager treat the owners horribly, but wow this time it wasn't even the behavior but the drink itself was awful. Why wouldn't they add sugar to a brow SUGAR milk tea. Come on now read more
