I usually hit their San Marino spot, but this location still delivered the goods. The shop's a bit small inside, but service was nice. Grabbed my ride-or-die Koan-Im Oolong Latte and paired it with a donut from my favorite donut shop like I was assembling the perfect duo for a late night snack. The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule. The cloud top was basically dalgona candy foam and felt like a bonus dessert after finishing the drink. Even with a lot of people waiing, service moved fast, in & out in about 7 mins. Quality tea, speedy service, and enough creamy foam happiness to make a milestone review feel deserved!! Highly recommend!!! Now for some poetry that's inspired my 1000th review: Warm glazed memories sift through my reverie. A pink box opened in the summer of 24. Days were bleak and hollow like a bakery shelf at closing. I saw the saddest eyes, soft as powdered sugar falling. Sweet like a dalgona cloud top koan-im oolong latte, but carrying a quiet ache no frosting could hide. That summer you saved me, like the first bite of something new when you thought you'd forgotten what butterflies felt like. The season changed and you suddenly disappeared.... just an empty pink box on the counter. Only crumbs remain now, where your strawberry-glazed humor used to melt into every moment like sugar on warm dough. My heart split like a jelly donut. Still, I'm grateful as the world is as it should be. I pass by the donut shop on 66 and smile. People think it's just about donuts. But once.... a long time ago, one saved my life. Děkuju, na shledanou, měj se via.

Convenient and Customizable -- A Solid Go-To My all-time…read morefavorite boba spot was Sunright Tea Studio, but unfortunately it's closed down, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement -- and this place has become my current go-to. What I love most here is the ordering experience. There are multiple large touchscreens where you can fully customize your drink -- sugar level, ice level, add-ons, substitutions, you name it. I almost always go for zero sugar, and the fact that I can do that easily is a huge plus for me. It's the kind of flexibility that modern boba shops should all offer. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, which is refreshing compared to some other spots in the area. Is it the most amazing boba I've ever had? Honestly, no -- but the ability to build your drink exactly the way you want it more than makes up for it. There's also a large display screen showing order status, so you always know when your drink is ready. It's a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. I'll be real though -- I probably drink more coffee from the Starbucks across the street than boba from here. At the end of the day, coffee feels like the healthier daily habit. But when I'm in the mood for something different, this place is where I'll be.

Ming Cha in Walnut is definitely one of the most unique drink spots I've tried recently. The cheese…read morefoam is so smooth, creamy, and slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with the tea. Every sip has a rich flavor without being overly sweet. We all loved the matcha and black sesame drinks. The matcha tasted earthy and smooth, while the black sesame had a deep roasted nutty flavor. The ube foam was also super creamy with a light vanilla-like sweetness that made the drink extra special. I really loved the Cheesy Taro drink! The taro flavor was rich, smooth, and creamy with a natural sweetness, and the cheese foam on top made it even better. The slightly salty and creamy foam balanced perfectly with the sweet taro flavor. Such a unique combination and honestly so addictive! Definitely one of my favorite drinks at Ming Cha. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors My kids loved their drinks too, and we already want to come back to try more flavors! If you enjoy boba, milk tea, or creamy foam drinks, this place is definitely worth checking out. Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and lots of creative flavors to choose from! Free Parking!!

It wasn't that busy. There's a total of 6 tables if you wanted to enjoy your drink inside. I ordered the rock oolong lemon tea. It tasted like a fresh lemonade with some tea flavor - tart and sweet. It was refreshing but nothing too out of the ordinary. I wish that you can add toppings to it. Staff was super friendly as they always welcome and give thanks when someone leaves. No long wait times either, everything was super efficient and quick.

However, from the first sip, all I could really taste was the milk, which overpowered the tea flavor. The jasmine flavor was also very floral. I'm used to jasmine tea from Molly Tea, and unfortunately this place just couldn't compare. We also added black boba as a topping, and that was good.

I would recommend the following drinks: Fresh Watermelon Tornado: a smoothie blended with fresh watermelon and light jasmine green tea, mixed with cheese foam - sweet and hydrating. Fresh Peach Tornado: a seasonal smoothie blended with real peaches and light jasmine green tea, mixed with cheese foam - creamy and aromatic. Barley Mochi Fresh Milk Tea: fresh ceylon black tea mixed with house fresh whole milk, served with mochi paste and barley popping boba - robust and creamy. Fresh Passion Fruit Lime Green Tea: smashed fresh passion fruit and slices of lime mixed with jasmine green tea - citrusy and refreshing. Inside the store was clean and tidy, while the staff was friendly. I wish this place was closer to where I live so I could visit more.

It had a nice balanced flavor and felt super light and fresh. There were also so many other drinks on the menu that sounded good, so we definitely want to come back another time to try more.

First impressions is that they have two self ordering kiosks. Already a HUGE plus. Space is pretty standard for a grab and go combo with hangout spot. Couple of tables inside and all pretty spacious. Very clean as well which is a nice plus. I love the subtle light green deco all around the shop, which gave of chill vibes overall. Parking - Free in a large outdoor parking lot. Some spots can be a bit tight so watch out for that. One thing I always look at when I visit new tea shops are their cups. Chayan has great cups, sturdy, cute yet simple design, and easy to hold. It's also pretty unique compared to other shops when you think about it. -- WHAT WE ORDERD -- -- Peach Oolong Milk Tea -- ($6.29) - This might be the perfect drink on a HOT DAY. It's refreshing, not too overpowering when it comes to the peach. Very standard and to the point. Very easy to sip and finish within seconds! -- Black Tea Frappe -- ($6.89) - Love this drink. It comes with an option to add Pecan nuts on top of your whipped cream thats above some fresh milk tea. Made the drink very creamy but also very savory to a sense. Refreshing and perfect on a hot day. It's also one of their most popular options, highly recommend. Overall, a wonderful tea spot addition to SoCal. Loved the vibes here and it's certainly one of my go to tea places now whenever I'm in Rowland. With similar vibes to Molly Tea when it comes to quality, I'm excited to visit again to try other drink options. They do seem to have BOGO promotions along with other promotions often as well which is nice.

At first, my husband said maybe it's not that good. I didn't check Yelp, but Google had good review (bc I was using the map). However, we decided to take a chance because I picked the place. Later, we did see some people picking up their orders. We were glad we did because the pork with cheese katsu was so good! You know it's good quality cheese when it can be stretched as long as your arm. We also got the fish katsu, but it wasn't what I had expected. It was kind of fishy which it's understandable, bc it is a fish. But it was also very thin. I expected to be thicker and super crispy and juicy. The Thai tea was decent. I would return for the pork with cheese katsu!

Stopped by Miro Mochi in Rowland Heights again and reminded myself why I came back for the mochi…read more Here it's this super soft texture that slowly melts in your mouth instead of being overly chewy or dense. Really reminds me of the mochi back in China and Taiwan. I honestly can't stop ordering the black sesame flavor. My second favorite is the nutty flavor too, which somehow feels both comforting and dangerously easy to finish way too fast. I also love their other desert Chewy Clouds. If I'm going to embrace the carbs, I might as well do it with the cute bear-shaped ones. They're soft, chewy, and just fun to eat. The whole place leans into that playful dessert vibe without feeling too over the top, and service was fast too.

Really wanted to give this place a try while I was in the city. I got the Summer Serenade and…read moreTwilight Pearls. Both lacked flavor and sweetness. The "milk mochi" texture was really odd to me--it's not something I'm used to. It's not chewy like regular mochi; it's soft like pudding but stretchy. That alone made the bowl hard to get used to. The Summer Serenade was refreshing because of the fruit, but it lacked sweetness. The whole bowl tasted only mildly sweet. The grass jelly bear was cute, but it also lacked sweetness. The coconut pudding bear was better--the texture and flavor were good. The Twilight Pearls had a lot of slimy textures. The taro and black rice felt heavy together, and everything combined felt overly soft and didn't blend well. I would not recommend this. I wouldn't come again. Maybe it's a good dessert for others, but it's not for me. I couldn't finish the Twilight Pearls--it felt like a waste of money.
