Got the milk tea and mango rice here and both were awesome They shape the rice into a cute little bear for you too The parking is a little tight but totally worth it. It's a cute little corner space, their dining area is nice and clean, and the staff was friendly and ready to answer all my questions. Definitely trying their crepes the next time I visit read more

Chala Boba - Register - Bubble Tea Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I stopped by Chala Boba on a weekday afternoon only to discover that there was a small parking lot limited to 30 minutes with difficult parking on the street and no display of Wi-Fi. This is not a spot to really get work done. Drinks, though? I wasn't sure what to order and felt adventurous with an avocado smoothie. It definitely hit the spot and was smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet. There was a bit of air in the cup (unsure if normal?), and most of the experience felt very transactional (get in, et out type of service). For that reason, I didn't stick around too long. While I was the only one ordering, the drink took about 10 minutes. While waiting, I enjoyed their shelf displays and interior decor before heading out. Glad to have tried it, but not sure if I'll be returning especially with that parking situation - definitely not a study / work spot with only 30 minutes of parking. read more

So my wife and I were in the mood for Boba today. On our way to our destination we found this place in a plaza. Parking... was a challenge. There is a small parking lot, fit for compact cars only. As soon as I entered the establishment the first thing that caught my eye was the vibrant colors. The hilarious pictures that told the "Chala Bala" story. The lounge chairs, the whole ambiance was screaming: "Relax Bro". The Boba... definitely tasted premium. They did not skimp out on the powder. The boba itself was cooked well. I have had many a boba served undercooked with a hard center, not here! I had the Taro Boba, wife had Thai Tea boba. We got a Crepe and Espresso to go. Their extra large Boba lasted me about 2 hours, it is a very generous size cup for under $9. But I confess the highlight for me was the Espresso, while I didn't ask for anything on it, it came to me already sweet. I'm not sure if maybe that's how they make it or if it was done by error, but it was such a pleasant surprise. I'm definitely coming back for the Espresso. Also the chairs are dangerous in the sense that two of the leather lounge chairs are so comfortable, that you just want to sink and sleep. I had a great time. I hope next time I come there's parking. read more

We have been coming to this place since it first opened. We love going there because of their smoothies, the ambiance and their crepes. It always felt so welcoming walking in but now it just feels off. And whoever the guy is, he seems a bit rude. read more

I was passing by Chala Boba and wanted to try a new place. Tons of drinks and snack/ food options. The place is cute, but needs some TLC on the cleanliness side. Service was nice and I really enjoyed my drink. I ordered a classic milk tea without any boba and sugar. Loved it! read more

In the area and behold, Chala Boba! A piggy mascot and cute pink walls, pink shimmers, and pink neon lights. I came due to the consistent positive reviews for the small boba shop and thought to try it out. I was not disappointed! The menu options were amusing and palatable to any one looking for a smoothie, slush, tea, and even dessert foods like mini pancakes, toast, and so much more. The workers were very nice and walked my boba over at the seating area which I was not expecting. I would come again to get my boba fix the next time I'm in the area! *I ordered the XL Taro Smoothie w/ boba * I oddly requested frozen mango to be puréed for my dog and it was granted. A little treat after our 99 degree walk. *They have a boba stamp card if you request one. Buy 10 and get your next free! read more

I always enjoy a great boba spot. For starters they have more than a few options to satisfy your boba craving. Their Thai milk tea boba is delicious as it taste and authentic flavor will satisfy any craving. Their brown sugar boba has a sweetness and texture that you must taste and enjoy. They have other options as well but these are my usuals. They also have fruit bowls if you want to have a boba and a bow for a quick lunch, brunch or snack. Service is great as the staff is always helpful. Parking is tight as it's not a big lot and there are a few other businesses in the section. If you are unable to squeeze into one of their available spots try Sherman way or another adjacent street. read more

Boba anyone? Seems like there is a boba shop popping up on every corner lately...the new yummy alternative to Starbucks. This particular shop is located on the North East corner of Sherman Way & Woodley Ave just across from Vallarta Market. The inside is very "pink," which I happen to love. They sell merch and also have food here. Their Boba menu is extensive which can cause some people like myself to take a few extra minutes to order...once you order they make your drinks quickly. Always tastes good and very filling. *They offer different degrees of sweetness and boba. *Small parking lot off of Sherman Way. read more

Pulled up and got the passion fruit and strawberry -- came in a big, bold to-go style cup that lowkey looked like soup, but the flavor made it make sense. Sweet, refreshing, and definitely worth the stop. Staff was nice, quick, and on it -- no waiting around, no attitude. And even though the area outside feels a little "hmm," the inside was clean and chill. It's one of those spots that surprises you in the best way. It's giving: Hello Kitty meets hood classic -- sweet, fun, and lowkey better than it had to be. Would come back just for that passion fruit hit alone. read more

I wrote a review before but it's been a while I love the milk tea and the Thai tea it's authentic tasting. But I don't like that the cup is so fat it doesn't fit in my car I can't come back for that reason I'm always on the go This is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 5 for the flavor though but you will have to drink it there ..... read more

It was going to be my first time trying this place, online it stated it opened at 12 and on their door as well. I waited for 15 minutes and no one ever showed up. Other customers tried coming as well but once again the doors stayed locked. Very unprofessional and disappointing. Definitely will not try coming here again. read more

Was craving mini pancakes and came across this spot on yelp and noticed they also sold sticky mango rice so we headed over. I got both mini pancakes and the mango sticky rice and my boyfriend got the crepe. It was a bit of a wait but understandable as it was made to order and there was only one person behind the counter which she was super nice. The spot is definitely really cute and I'm surprised i hadn't been here before but happy to know about it now. The pancakes were really good I got them with strawberries and whipped cream then added Nutella when I got home lol I was pretty full after so I decided to save the mango rice. Sad to say I wasn't actually able to enjoy it I believe it got hard after getting cold. I'll just have to stop by another day to try again. Overall really cute establishment, with a lot of menu options. read more

Everything about the drink tastes fake, boba was old and slimy, way too sweet. Never again. We ordered 3 different teas and each one was horrible and so thick like Pepto bismol. @owner - order yourself a drink, or a few....dare ya. Change the artificial and you will be okay. Boba sells if it's not fake. Real tea, real fruit, fresh boba. read more

Tasty boba in a quaint shop! We had a heavy dinner and want to get a treat. We haven't been to Chala before so wanted to try it! They have crepes and other sweets like mango sticky rice, but we just wanted boba tea. Same deal, select the flavor, add topping and choose your ice and sweetness. The shop is pretty well decorated we enjoyed just looking around the place. Drinks were good too and hit the spot. Parking can be a challenge. We missed the entrance the first time and needed to make a U turn. Same parking complex with some other business and at night some people loitering outside the liquor store. read more

This is it! The Boba spot I have dubbed the best in the valley. I came across Chala during a Yelp event, and I am so happy I was turned on to this place. It checks all the boxes! Great service Delicious Boba Delicious Milk Tea (tastes more than just milk which is a major boba place offense, and happens quite often) They let you choose your sweetness level from regular all the way down to no sugar. I LOVE that. 2 sizes, large & Extra Large ($4.50 & $5.50) Brown Sugar Milk Tea & Taro Milk Teas are my favorite. They give you such a generous amount of boba that you get a great boba ball fix with every sip. If I need a sweet fix, this is where I come. I drive 20mins for Chala so that definetly says alot, especially with these gas prices lol. They also offer Delicious Crepes and mini pancakes! Cute interior with plants and neon signs, tucked into a veryyyy unassuming Plaza. Next door to a 711, minimal parking in a tight lot but don't let that keep you away from Chala Boba. 10/10 I have found my Boba go to spot read more

The exterior of Chala Boba doesn't do it any justice, sadly. The inside is so cute that you immediately forget the tagging on the outside. I came here around 12pm on Sunday and there was some parking spots in this plaza, tiny spots. The lady who was working was so friendly! I ventured out and got the Piña Colada Smoothie and the presentation was 10/10. At the top of the drink there was a pineapple ring so the straw can go straight in the middle and topped with coconut flakes :) mm mmmm It surprisingly wasn't overly sweet and the boba was perfect; still a bit warm and chewy. I definitely want to try my go to drinks such as the Taro Milk Tea and their crepes looked DELICIOUS. read more

Small parking lot Came here and ordered two drinks, a milk tea and brown sugar milk tea. Also ordered a crepe with Thai spicy chili, hot dog and Sirarcha. The drinks appeared to be made with powdered drinks, it was decent. The crepe was made there and it was very crispy (not soft) but it was so good. I was slightly starving and it just hit the spot. read more

We heard a new boba spot opened up in San Fernando Valley and wanted to try it out! The owners are Thai and the new shop has a wide range of teas, smoothies and crepes. We tried the Thai tea boba, mangonada, butterfly pea flower tea (the flower is specially shipped from Thailand!), and the black pink smoothie. All were unique and delicious. We never tried Thai crepes but felt like being adventurous so we got the recommended thai sweet chili base with pork grinds and imitation crab, then topped with Thai siracha and Mayo. Sounds like an odd combo but it was so good! We can't wait to come back for more. Oh, and the owners are very sweet and COVID conscious. Open now with safety measures in place. Please support your local businesses! read more

Open late. Quick service. Sizes are large because their containers are wide. Parking sucks tho. Drinks are great.

This is my 2nd time ordering from this place off UberEats and I absolutely love the drinks here! The packaging that they use for their orders is very smart as well. They place a cardboard at the bottom to keep all the drinks steady and upright. Hoping to visit this place in person to try the crepes :) read more

This cute neighborhood boba shop has friendly, helpful staff, welcoming vibes, and tasty unique treats. The corn and cheese crepe plus mango with sticky rice are my favorite things to order. I love that there are sweet and savory options, each with their own set of customizable toppings/fillings, and fresh ingredients to pair with the crepes and toasts. On top of the great food and boba drinks, the hospitality and customer service are what give this spot five stars in my book.
