    Matcha Lychee Tea
    Tina O.

    One of the best bánh mì I've had! The shredded beef was tender, juicy, and generous, and the extra pâté + mayo were definitely worth it! The au jus was such a game changer--so much extra flavor and made dipping the bánh mì even better! The Lychee Matcha Tea was so good! Strong, smooth matcha paired perfectly with the refreshing lychee. The little lychee chunks added the perfect burst of sweetness and texture!

    Food: 5/5 Service. 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 We had the Roti Chicken Bowl, Scrambled Egg Banh Mi, Sea Salt Green Thai Tea, Iced Cafe Latte, and Mixed Fruit Tea. Everything was good, and we loved all the drinks!

    Was hitting up the grocery store and saw that Boban finally opened. Plenty of parking in this shopping center. The entrance faces north, so you don't ever have to worry about direct sun. Def looks new. There is a calm vibe. Love the earthy tones and soft but upbeat music. It is brightly lit due to the full window frontage, but you don't have to worry about direct, since the frontage faces north. There is plenty of seating...at least 20 seats (chairs and benches). The place offers wifi. However, i did not try it. I received an immediate, friendly greeting. The menu is fairly small with banh mi, bowls (banh mi in a bowl without bread?) and tea and coffee drinks. I asked for the worker to suggest something to win me as a customer. Without hesitation, he said BBQ Pork Banh Mi and Green Thai Tea. I got them as-is with no adjustments. The Grern Thai Tea does have a lighter, less-sweet flavor than a regular Thai Tea. Def would get it again. The BBQ Banh Mi comes on a toasted french bread with plenty of meat and veggies...carrots, onions, jalapeños, cilantro...and bbq sauce and mayo. Slightly different than the typical banh mi but pretty tasty. On the downside (IMO), i could taste the pickled veggies. I really love the typical vinegar flavor, but the mayo and BBQ sauce took front and center. And if you don't like your sandwich falling apart, this is not for yomeat, veggies, and flavor spilled all over the place...that's what I'm talking about!

    Came in on their grand opening day on Saturday 8/22/2026. We were welcomed with positive vibes. Was looking forward to their opening and the day has finally arrived! Very clean and modern inside. Staffs were very friendly. Will definitely be back again for sure!

    Chicken bahn mi

    Delicious bahn mi bread soft and chicken was tender. I asked to make my drink less sweet and they were able to accommodate.

    Came here on a Thursday afternoon to get some work done. Plenty of parking in the plaza. I wasn't…read moreaware that they don't provide wifi to customers to do some work - since there were 2 tables with chairs inside (didn't get to see the other reviews before coming as this was a spontaneous stop on my way back home). I've been wanting to try Omomo in Irvine but never had the chance and was in this area, so I thought why not! I've heard good things. There was no line. Staff was friendly and patient answering my questions. I always like to see if boba shops have unique drinks that stores typically don't have and if not, usually go with the original milk tea. But the Magnolia tea caught my eye. I got the magnolia milk tea and the boba was fresh, soft, but with the right perfect amount of chew! The staff did tell me it's "very floral" and I was a bit worried because I'm not a big fan of floral drink, but honestly, it wasn't that floral. There was a pretty subtle hint of floral-ness, but I can't make the distinction of the "magnolia" flavor. It's similar to maybe camelia? The boba and tea definitely were more prominent. I appreciated that I can taste a stronger tea flavor though. Service was really fast! They are well staffed. I didn't get to do what I came for, but at least the drink did not disappoint! I would come back to try other drinks!

    I used to think OMOMO was really good, but this time it didn't taste as good as I remembered. Maybe…read moreit was just a little too sweet for me. I also tried to order online, but the process seemed a bit complicated, so I ended up just waiting in line to order. The service was good, the drinks came out pretty quickly, and the place was clean and well kept. Overall, it's still worth trying if you've never been before!

    Tapiochi is definitely the highlight of this boba shop! Super tender chewy jelly, have to try the…read morebrown sugar one. The black tea tapiochi doesn't really have any flavor but the brown sugar tapiochi has the distinct roasted taste, which adds more character to the popcorn milk tea. So I got the popcorn milk tea and I feel like that's the only thing I only want from them now. It's a strong toasty tea blend with rich creamy buttery popcorn flavor, tastes just like a cereal milk or almost like a corn milk! A small but cozy hangout spot with some minimal aesthetic decors, it was half packed with teens and adults around 8pm on a Sunday but plenty parking outside. Service was fast and nice. Only complain I have is that this small cup of drink does not really worth $9 to me. They do have some other interesting teas but the price is just little shocking to me.

    The tapiochi is the highlight of Torotea!…read more The Popcorn Milktea with brown sugar tapiochi was not my favorite, as I don't favor the taste of the popcorn. The tapiochi added a nice texture to the drink. 3/10 The Matcha Einspanner is very good, although I wish it was a little creamier and a little sweeter to balance out the strength of the matcha. 8/10 The Creme Brulee IceMilk with brown sugar tapiochi is one of my favorite drinks to get! The creme brulee top is super tasty, and goes super well with the tapiochi. It can definitely be a little sweet, so you might want to adjust the sweetness. 9/10 The Osmanthus Citrus Refresher is my all-time favorite drink! The osmanthus flavor is so refreshing in the hotter months, and the citrus adds a nice touch to the tea. 10/10 The staff at all of the Torotea locations are super friendly, and are always willing to give recommendations. The interior is super cute, with a minimalist cave-like design.
