First time visiting this spot. It's like a Ten Ren and similar food, drinks and quality. I ordered a jasmine milk tea and it was delicious. I also got fish cutlet curry with rice and a cabbage salad. The fish was wonderfully seasoned and crispy, loved the rice and curry sauce but the cabbage salad was a little bitter (I ate it anyway). I also ordered the popcorn chicken and asked the spice level to mild and it wasn't salty. Very affordable, the rice dish was $14, popcorn chicken was $8 and the drink was $6. Bill was $28. They packaged the order in a nice foil bag to keep the entre warm. The place was cute and cozy. Lots of seating and clean. Located in a busy shopping center next to Ralphs, a bank, Pho Island, Juan Pollo, Little Caesars and other restaurants. read more

Being an SGV native, boba tea shops are a thing I grew around with and am very familiar with. I have a slight prejudice to boba places outside of the SGV area so take what I have to say with a grain of salt and that this is my personal taste. Chat Tea from the pictures and self serve system made it feel like it was a boba place from SGV. The kiosk to order has both English and Chinese and the drinks and food all look familiar. I was thinking how nice this place was. A little rough around the edges here and there, but it's spacious with many tables, seating, and a little bar area. It has decent air conditioning (AC is a must with the weather quickly heating up), and feels clean enough. The vibes overall are alright but I think a little more can be done to the interior to make it feel more cozy, modern, or esthetically pleasing. The servers are very friendly and nice. One girl had a lot of energy, very positive, had the attitude of trying her best to answer any questions, and making your experience nice. Basically a 10/10 for customer service within reason and normalcy. Other workers were alright. I don't really focus too much on customer service for boba joints. The prices are within the standard price range. Nothing seemed off in pricing when scrolling through the menu. For people new to boba tea places, I think it's fair to say that they're now around the same price as going to Starbucks, though some places still have lower prices. The drink was alright. They had 3 tea options (black, green, and oolong iirc) and a good selection of flavors and toppings but it felt a little lackluster. It wasn't bad but it didn't have a distinct flavor or trait that makes it special. Kinda like instead of generic soda, it was generic boba tea drink at the super market kind of feel. The issue could be the drink i chose (grapefruit GT less sugar) but I'm usually used to a stronger and more distinct fruit flavor with this order. The fried tofu was fried pretty well. It's a very thin breading type of deep fry but was very crispy. But it wasn't the standard fried tofu snack I expected. Usually places either have a flavorful breaded fried tofu or they use dry seasoning(generally something a little spicy) after frying. Instead this was basically tofu + a soy sauce based shopping sauce from what I tasted. I was expecting more of a sweet and sour or spicy sauce. Overall felt kinda bland and the sauce was forgettable. I want to again say that the drink and tofu are not necessarily bad, but they weren't in my realm of expectation or my taste. If I still worked in the area, I would maybe give this place another 2 to 3 tries to see if it would be a study/work spot. If you like the drinks, this would definitely be a nice place to work or study at. read more

Another BOBA place in town - we had to check it out. It was easy to locate, Google Map took you right to the location. It has ample amount of parking since it shares a private parking lot with several other businesses. It has good amount of indoor seating. Came here over the weekend, there wasn't that long of a line. Place was kept clean and the person helping us out was friendly and patient as it was my first time. Lot of options to choose from for boba/tea, only one size available for iced drinks. I ended up ordering Honey Milk Tea with boba - it was delicious and came with a good amount of boba! read more

After a long day we decided to order via app and pick up our dinner. Our drinks and food are as following: strawberry slush x 2 are good, oolong milk tea with boba x 2 are good tea, bobas are a bit hard, Taiwanese sausage rice is better than average, popcorn chicken rice is very average, the fried udon is good. Service is friendly, but they are very busy. Chat Tea has a welcoming vibe and modern cafe decor, plus plenty of seats for small parties. Everything looks well thought of and warm. They have couple order kiosks, a restroom. Food is okay to me, drinks are good. I can see most patron are here for the drinks. read more

I was looking for a boba tea place I haven't tried and this is one that came up. I tried the classic milk tea with boba and I would say that it is good, but not the best. It was refreshing and the boba is chewy and consistent. I also got the popcorn chicken non-spicy and was okay. It looks like a good place to study with free WiFi. The decor is that of a cozy cafe. I didn't get to stay too long but I think seating is abundant. I went around early afternoon and wasn't too busy, I think after I got my drink and food it started getting really busy. There is the main register and they also have two self serve kiosks that makes it easy to order. They have a wide range of drinks and food. I would definitely want to come back to try some other drinks and food again. read more

Their pork katsu sandwich combo with fries! So delicious! Love the easy packaging! We brought the food to a Buzzers game nearby. So convenient! The fries were like takoyaki fries because of the similar seasonings, fun & yummy! Food was still good even after a good hour had passed. The double matcha drink which I got with almond milk, was refreshing.....albeit a bit pricey for how small it was, almost $7 I believe? But it really was good! I've gotten teas from here before which were similarly great. However, the food is where it's at! I gotta try the japanese curry udon meal next time too. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the inside is so cute and the food actually tastes good, but the value and service were not. We waited an unreasonably long time for our food, only to receive a $14 udon in a tiny container that wasn't even enough to fill us up. While the charming interior makes a great first impression, the menu prices are just ridiculous; especially paying $7 for a small, average latte. To make matters worse, one of our drinks ended up making my stomach hurt terribly right after. It's a very cute spot to look at, but between the slow service, tiny portions, and high prices, it's hard to justify coming back. read more

I wanted to write an update to my review from a few weeks ago, the customer service has been exceptional. I ended up going back today and let the employees know about what happened during my last visit. They ended up remaking my previous order (Lychee green tea with boba and lychee jelly) and made it 0% sweet which was perfect. The employees were extremely accommodating and even let me taste it before leaving. FYI: the tea was still sweet because the toppings have sweetness already added to them. I also ordered a few other drinks for my family: matcha milk tea, taro milk tea, strawberry lemon slush, and plain green tea. I ordered mostly all of them with less sweetness and my family really liked them and thought the sweetness levels were perfect. read more

great place for boba! I like ordering the Thai tea and it always comes out great! the staff is great and very friendly. I would say this is a great place to catch up with a friend or come in and read. They also have a kiosk available to order from or you can order from the counter. read more

I LOVE CHAT TEA, Not only do I love their other location but this location is just amazeballs, I love their popcorn chicken and their teas are to die for. The amount of times I've craved a salmon rice ball is insane. Amazing customer service and the best place to study and do homework. Always happy when I'm at chat tea.

What a cute cozy shop. They displayed very nice anime photos decor. Perfect spot for studying, telecommuting, and having a group hangout.

We had their caramel boba tea along with spicy salmon rice ball and fish katsu sandwich with Osaka fries The food was exotic and to be honest I loved their salmon rice balls they were filling and so delicious... wrapped in softened seaweed served with garlic soy and their sandwich was good too I loved how they gave a twist to their fries .. since their food is prepared fresh they have a bit of wait time... Loved their ambiance.. it was cozy.. and inviting.. great food... a great hangout spot for tweens and teens.. 3/5 stars read more

I love the milk tea here. Well, I really love all the teas here. It has such great flavors and the best part is that the sugar and sweetness is never overwhelming. It doesn't feel like you're drinking just sugar but you can taste the tea as well. The bobas always fresh and chewy which I love. Their chicken katsu curry is good as well. I wish they gave us the option to add extra of the red pickled vegetables that comes with it cause those are such great addition! Also, the ambiance is so cute and very calm. Staffs also very friendly as well read more

First time coming to Chat Tea after driving past it a few times, and I'm so glad I finally stopped in. It's such a charming little hole-in-the-wall spot with beautiful decor and a really fun vibe. I can definitely see it being a favorite for anime lovers. The staff was very friendly and made the experience even better. It's the perfect place to hang out, relax with friends, and enjoy good food and drinks. I'll definitely be coming back more often to support this local business! read more

If I'm being totally honest, one of the reasons I really like this place is because of how cheap it is. I payed a little less then $14 for 3 drinks, now a days, you could hardly ever find that. The coffees were a little basic but the milk tea was good. I don't think they are known for their coffee, I didn't try any teas or food but I'm sure it's very good. The lady's were super sweet and worked fast. It's super cute and homey inside. read more

First time reviewing this place, but not my first time here. Been coming here since 2019 on and off. Management has changed but everything still tastes as good as before, if not better cause there's also more options. My friend and I came in around noon and today I ordered the almond milk tea with roasted oolong tea and green tea jelly (regular ice/regular sugar) very almond heavy and sweet so next time I'll probably request 50% sugar. After 2 hours of studying I ordered the spam & egg rice ball and takoyaki. The spam & egg rice ball was good just kept falling apart at the end. The takoyaki was good too, nice outside crunch and gooey center, I just wished there was more sauce on top. My friend got their strawberry matcha and it was good, but just a bit sweet as it was her first time getting it she got regular ice/regular sugar. The overall ambience of the place is nice and cozy with the anime decorations along the wall and also the plants along the front. There's a fair number of outlets along the wall and free WiFi--you'll just have to ask for the password. A pretty good spot to get some work/studying in (: There are 2 reasons I am docking it from being a five star review. Firstly, there are only 2 tables with relatively comfortable seats, all the other chairs aside from the high bar are like the ones in my picture. And the second and more important reason I'm marking it down from a 5-star review is because the two girls at the front were very noisily talking about customers/coworkers and bad-mouthing them. It was really distracting and if it weren't for my noise cancelling headphones we probably would have left within the hour. It's just very unprofessional and off-putting to hear workers talk about people like that. Visited on 9/25/25 at 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm read more

This place is super cute, love the cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly and greeted everyone upon entry. I ordered a couple of rice balls and a rose matcha. The rice balls were huge and full of flavor. I enjoyed the rose matcha as well. The rose wasn't too overpowering and complimented the matcha perfectly. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Came in for a quick snack and was pleasantly surprised. Cute little shop with places to sit and eat. I had the onigiri which was delicious. The curry was also good. Would definitely come back! read more

I decided to re-do the review since I was able to try more options. The spot is quaint, cute, and a great place to grab a drink, snacks, and do some work or chat with a friendo. The place is clean, plenty of seating and tons of parking. I am a basic milk tea drinker and I am not a fan of fruity drinks so anywhere I go, I just usually go for the milk tea with boba as that is something that is not hard to mess up, but when crafted well, it is super delicious and hearty to me. I initially went here and ordered their black tea with pudding and boba, not knowing that they also had milk teas. The black tea and boba were delicious, especially the boba, but I felt that the pudding was lacking in both sweetness and amount. Now that I know they serve milk tea, I got their brown sugar milk black tea with boba and my goodness, it was fantastic and delicious. Perfect blend of milk, tea, brown sugar, and boba and it was very sweet (brown sugar is naturally sweeter than regular sugar) which I totally like, it was perfect for me and with this drink alone, I would rate it 5/5. I feel like their meals here are lacking. I have tried their Taiwanese sausage and popcorn chicken. Both were just lacking in their natural recipe flavor and i wouldn't recommend getting either of these. I will say their kastu with curry and rice was tasty, and I would order again despite wishing they gave more curry. Their spam rice ball was hefty with rice, but was severely lacking in the spam piece department, but tasty overall. Keep in mind that these snacks or entrées are just something to snack on, don't expect anything super quality tasty and you're not missing out if you don't order any of the food. Other than that, I think their drinks are super delicious and highly recommended and I will being a frequent flier. read more

I love coming to this place, and usually try to come here to eat while working when I can. The cafe ambience is very cozy, with multiple tables available to enjoy company with friends, study, or get some work done. That's what my friend and I were hoping to do when we sat down, but sadly we kept overhearing some very disturbing things from the workers here. You can usually always count on Chat Tea at Ontario to have amazing food and great customer service, but something happened today that was pretty disappointing. Most of the time, the workers are nice and their conversations are nothing but wholesome but the conversation of the ladies who were working here today were anything but! It was very unprofessional, talking badly about customers and coworkers loudly as they went through training. Names were dropped and laughed about, and I consumed more drama tea from this store than actual tea during my stay here. Other than that, the food and drinks were great as usual. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, then you'll love their drinks as-is here. I ordered the strawberry matcha while my friend got an almond milk tea. Both drinks were okay but we'll be ordering them as less sweet for the future. I lost my appetite listening to those girls be so nice to customers face to face, but then talk badly about others when it got less busy (and you had no choice but to listen to them with how loudly they spoke), but my friend ordered some food a couple hours into our stay. The spam and egg onigiri was very flavorful according to her. I would recommend having a spoon and a couple of napkins handy while eating it. The takoyaki smelled amazing and was nice and crispy on the outside. I love this place, but please work on the professionalism while working. Customers may look busy, but we're still paying attention to how we're treated and talked about also. Visited 09/25/25 from 12pm-4pm read more

We've been regular customers of this tea shop since it opened at the shopping center at the corner of Archibald & Riverside over 3 years ago. I think we've been here at least a dozen times since it's the nearest tea shop to our home. The service is always great and the staff is always friendly. My go-to drink in the summer time has been their Strawberry Lemon Delight. It tastes like a blended strawberry lemonade and it's absolutely splendid! When we're in the winter time, my go-to would be the hot almond milk tea. Another great thing about this tea shop is their food. I've always had great experiences with their popcorn chicken. The chicken is crunchy and a little spicy. It's great as either a snack or a full blown meal if you get the rice plate. Overall, I highly recommend this tea shop as one of the best Ontario has to offer. I actually like it more than the chains like Kung Fu Tea or Sunright Tea Studio. read more

High quality teas and yummy food!! I've visited this cafe a few times now and service and quality both exceed expectations. A kind cashier/barista named Joseph always makes sure I like the taste of my drink and offers to remake it if it's too sweet, lacking flavor (which is almost never), etc. I like how this cafe serves more than just the typical snacks (popcorn chicken, fries, etc.). This cafe has rice balls, mapo tofu, pork katsu, curry, and more! The interior of this cafe is very cozy and has anime vibes (it also has anime decorations). There is a good amount of seating in the cafe and it is a good spot to study or get any work done. One time I also started making bead bracelets and none of the workers seemed to judge nor care so I felt comfortable doing other activities! I love this cafe so much that I wish they opened up a location in Orange County !! Everyone support this cafe so they can expand! They currently have another location in Eastvale which is not far from Ontario! read more

Chat Tea - Ontario - Lychee Oolong Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ontario, California

They have a poster of bubble waffles in the front of the store but don't serve any so we have to get the brick toast. It was a joke. It was a thick bread smeared with a spot of matcha, wasn't even enough to call it a thin layer, and that spot has no matcha flavour at all. Also got fish sticks which were a horrible, dark brown colour which were hard to chew. The drinks were average. Our stomach hurt after eating here, will never come back and don't recommend trying read more

Chat tea is a nice little boba spot, that has a good amount of seating. During the weekdays, you can catch a couple of kids here coming from the jr. high near by hanging out. At night it is a quiet little cafe where people are studying for having a dinner break. I got the lavender milk tea with no adjustments and it was perfect. The lavender flavoring came through in the milk tea and will definitely be back. read more

This is our Wednesday regular spot to get yummy food to go. We always ordered the popcorn chicken over rice and my kiddos have been addicted to their strawberry croffle( croissant waffle) Meanwhile I have been addicted to their hot milk tea with boba. Aging population here The service are always pleasant, never disappoints. The place is cute and maintained clean. Need to ask for key for the restroom which totally makes sense. Nicely decorated which bring out the cozy ambiance. Put in your phone number for rewards. There's ample space to study or to just hang out with ur buddies. Other food that I find it yumm was the tofu fries. I can't wait to go again next Wednesday. read more

Literally my favorite spot any time I am in the inland empire. I always get the oolong milk tea or the black milk tea with boba. Every time I go, it's a 100% hit. The quality is consistent. I also really like the rice balls. They're such a treat and go really well with their special garlic sauce. The place is super cute with classic Miyazaki films. Staff are prompt and are always busting out a ton of orders. I'm glad that not too many people know about this spot (unlike Omomo where the line wraps around the block). The only thing I wish they had is bubble waffle/egg waffle. read more

Love this place! Great tea and I love the onigiri (rice balls) they sell. It's a perfect snack to go with a milk tea. Their coffee is also very good. The atmosphere is very quaint and the staff is so friendly. The only thing I can say I don't like is I'm a bigger person and the chairs scare me like they will break if I sit on them. Haha Not a big deal though just a heads up for the chubby people. Definitely try it out if you're in the neighborhood. My favorite order is spam and egg onigiri and a milk tea! read more

Thank you for opening up an awesome boba place around this area :) My siblings and I went here most of the time whenever I'm visiting my parents. As you can tell, Ontario does not have good boba place around, so I'm super stoke to see one that is superb :) The ambiance from the outside looks like a boba market cause of its gigantic sign and location, but the inside is the opposite. It is quite cozy and relaxing inside. They have anime memorabilia on their walls. It's simply a chill place to be while drinking your boba milk tea :) I always ordered their Finland Delight because not a lot of boba place serve this drink. It's basically an orange smoothie, which is not common, but damn good and refreshing. The flavor is a little funky at first, but when you keep ordering it like I do; it is one of their best smoothies in my opinion. Overall, I really like this place.. An awesome recommendation whenever you're stuck.. I mean visiting Ontario lol read more

Have drove by here like hundred times and finally set foot inside. It's located in an older shopping plaza near New Haven. Another hidden gem in the middle of Ontario. First impress, great decor! I took a lot photos, and seemed like whoever set up the interior is a Miyazaki fan. I didn't order any drink because I just had one at another place. I ordered popcorn chicken rice. The order was made within timely manner. It was priced very reasonable during this era of inflation. The popcorn chicken tasted fresh, it had sides such as white rice, pickled vege, a soy sauce simmered egg, and a piece of simmered tofu. The portion was just perfect. The staff was friendly and the music was set not too loud if you want to carry a conversation or do some reading. Overall, it's a 4.7 out of 5, will return again and try their drinks. read more
