The shop felt clean, modern, and new, and it wasn't too busy when we visited. We only ordered drinks, but the food we saw coming out for other customers looked amazing. There was a short wait since a couple of groups were ahead of us, but it wasn't too long and the drinks were definitely worth it. Overall, a great experience. We'll definitely be back--especially to try the food next time!

I recently visited Chin Cha again and was disappointed with the drink quality at this visit. The…read moreplace seemed very quiet and empty on the weekend so perhaps they were having a slow day. The boba pearls did not have a pleasant texture. It reminded me of reusing day-old boba and tasted crumbly and stale. The tea flavor wasn't as fragrant as I remembered last time and the overall taste reminded me of a sweet milk for both drinks.

I was so excited to try a boba but quickly disappointed. Who charges an extra fee for boba at a…read moreboba place? They assume you want boba but don't tell you there's a fee for it. What really got me is that all our drinks were ruined because we did pay the extra charge for the boba just to get boba that was not cooked all the way! The middle was hard and it crumbled. Just a waste of money.

This is the second location of Hechalou I've visited. It has the same aesthetics but it's quite…read moredifferent in terms of menu and drink construction from the location north of Seattle that I visited regularly. There are two kiosks for easy ordering. We walked in just a couple of minutes after they opened on a Monday and were the first customers inside. House Blend Pearl Milk Tea, 10% Sweet, 30% Ice w/ Boba ($6.25) - I'll start by saying that 10% is not nearly enough for this drink, totally unlike the Lynnwood location where anything over 10% sweet is cloyingly sweet for me. I ended up asking for a small cup of syrup on the side and titrated the drink until I thought it was sweet enough. My guess is that it took until around 50% sweet. With that out of the way, the flavor is identical to what I've had before. Rich malty taste with plenty of body. It's a very solid milk tea. This hechalou only has sugar syrup soaked boba, not a choice of honey or brown sugar boba as in Lynnwood. My guess is this is one of the reasons why the sweetness level is so different. Probably honey and/or brown sugar soak adds more sweetness to the drink than whatever soak they use here. The boba is a little firmer than Lynnwood and isn't as flavorful. Still miles ahead of most boba shops in the US though. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, 10% Sweet, 30% Ice w/ Boba ($7.05) - Again, this one isn't sweet enough and I had to add more sugar. The drink itself is strongly flowery, again very consistent with the other location. It's a very solid drink. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 This location of Hechalou still serves some top tier drinks. I'll just have to remember the next time I visited to get 50% sweet rather than 10%. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

The matcha waffles come in a set of three and are on the smaller side since they're shaped like the…read morecafe's logo. The matcha flavor is very earthy and leans more bitter than sweet, which I personally enjoyed. However, if you're not a fan of strong earthy matcha flavors, you may want to try a different waffle option instead. The tea was really good as well. I ordered mine with regular boba, but I've heard their jelly is actually the highlight, so I'll definitely have to try that next time. The cafe seems really popular with families and is also a great spot to hang out with friends. If you prefer not to order at the counter, they also have kiosks available for self-ordering.

The variety of tea choices was almost overwhelming and clearly the owners had a tea connoisseur's interests in mind when creating the shop. I found a great tea blend that I've turned into an iced tea - perfect for summer sipping! Yes, the shop had gift options that support both the lower and higher end budgets (important to me!). The only thing I wish was different is that I'd found the shop earlier in the day so I could spend more time there.
