    Tried their tea for the first time a couple weeks ago and now we're hooked! I've found it more convenient ordering on their website and picking up versus ordering on their kiosk and having to wait for our drinks. Employees are welcoming and hard at work preparing each drink, which is made to order. Tea is of high quality, and you can customize your drink on sweetness level, ice and toppings.

    I came in here after dinner at Hiro Nori. I tried the Honey Osmanthus Oolong tea. The staff is very efficient here; they made the drink pretty quickly, and it was all packed up, cutely, may I add, with the little drink holder holding both the drink and the straw, ready to be toted away for consumption. The inside is nicely decorated too; they have a tea set for sale, and I think they also offer some tea tasting.

    This was an impromptu stop but glad we stopped by. The Volcano Bubble drink was chosen because it is milk based with no caffeine. They are generous with their boba. They had a special this week, buy 2 get a free tea. I pulled a High Mountain Pouchong tea. Very bright inside with ample seating. Plenty of parking outside as well.

    I was surprised to see a CHICHA San Chen locally! The first time I've had their tea was in New York, so I was quite delighted to make a pit stop here. Parking is a bit interesting and it's a tight reverse, so be careful when exiting and entering. We came in, and the step by aroma of freshly brew tea encircled us. We didn't wait in line for too long, but it gave us enough time to decide on what to get. Their menu isn't huge, but an amount good enough not to get overwhelmed. When we arrived at the front of the line, the cashier automatically handed us samples of their summer tea offering. It was quite aromatic and refreshing. We didn't opt to get that, but I did order their Dong Ding Oolong Tea with boba. We waited for about five minutes before receiving our drinks. It's always nice to see their boba drinks come with a cup sleeve and string! When tasting my drink, you can taste the oolong perfectly and it's a subtle type of sweetness. Their boba is very chewy, but sweet, too. The workers here were kind and it was a very clean environment. Just like their tea, their shop is clean and to utter perfection. Their workers were trained well. I'd come back again for good tea!

    This is by far the cleanest taste tea place I have ever been. The quality of the tea that they brew is delicious. Your tea experience if brewed to order. Their boba milk tea is so good, not on the sweet side. The workers are so friendly and they'll give you suggestions based upon your liking. The place is clean and neat. I have been back 3 times in a month. That's how I really appreciate their teas. Packaging is nice, there's like a little holder for your drink. Super cute.

    Yeah, there is a Chica San Chen spot located in Chino. It's in a small plaza but at the time I went it had plenty of parking. The inside of the store is small but the taste of this tea is so delicious. I love coming to any of these tea stores to enjoy a nice cup of tea. Today though I ordered the creamy mango tart which has bold flavors but I truly did enjoy it. They have many different unique toppings if you want to add them like boba and jellies. But for me, I just kept it simple. The service was so fast and overall I took it Togo but there are some seats and tables in here that no one was using.

    Briefly in the area, recommended by a friend who said everything at CHICHA San Chen is good. Cream mango tart (5/5): the flavor of the tea which is espresso pressed is aromatic and balanced. The cream top, which they recommend you sip halfway before swirling into your drink, also very good quality and not overpowering. Not airy at all, flavorful too. Lastly, the mango part tastes fresh like pressed juice and the whole drink really came together. I almost ordered taro balls with mango, but CHICHA San chen really cares about curating flavor and the staff member let me know they don't offer that option because they discovered those flavors cancel out. I would trust them in the future to have amazing quality drinks. The menu on the TVs have small font that's harder to read until you're up next in line. Excellent service, they give drink of the day to sample, and nice well decorated interior.

    My sweet drink for the stressful day

    Service was very friendly. No one was there but I was sourced at how hot inside was! The cassia green tea with honey was their welcome drink, it was very yums I got a cassia black milk tea w cream and taro balls, half sweet I would come back again

    Perfect, as always! This is my sister's and my favorite boba franchise. Their drinks and boba are consistently tasty, and they never disappoint. The service and quality are always amazing, and we're so glad that they have a reward system now! Literally everything on the menu is super tasty, but I recommend getting their mango and honey flavors in any of the teas! This place gives you a lot more boba for $1, whereas other places charge you nearly $1 for barely any boba. * Mango Green Tea: 10/10 - nice and tart * Honey Osmanthus Oolong Tea: 10/10 - light and not too sweet * Bubbles (Topping): 10/10 - soft and chewy, huge portion The interior is very nice and quite spacious. We went pretty late at night, so it was pretty empty when we got there. We didn't have to wait too long, and the workers were pretty nice. It's located in the Edison Promenade plaza, so parking can get crowded at peak times. Can't wait to come back!

    Osmanthus Oolong Tea with light honey and light ice

    We ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Tea with light honey and light ice, it was refreshingly and delicious! The employee was very helpful and curtesy. We will be coming back.

    Mango tea with boba
    Ellen M.

    Pros: Great location with ample parking Took advantage of the Pillow promotion - buy 3 drinks and follow their social media Beautiful decor Quality teas - the drinks reflect this and are fantastic Mango tea with boba was flavorful and boba cooked perfectly Cons: A bit pricier than the average boba shop in the area, but the quality of the tea makes it worth it Must order via kiosk Pro tip: If you are looking for a quality boba drink, go here and spend a little extra for a better drink. You won't regret it!

    First time here! Was craving boba and found this place on Yelp after I got some grocery shopping done. First, to review the boba-- The boba is delicious! Texture is good with the right amount of chewiness to it. It was cooked to perfection. The tea is also yummy. I had a regular milk tea with 50% sweet and less ice. The thing that shocked me was the price point- it was kind of expensive .. $8+ for a drink. I did a grab and go. Service was ok. Store is clean. Ample space to hang out and catch up with friends.

    Lisa E.

    This place has been on my radar for a while and I'm glad I finally got to try it. The cafe is very bright and clean. The menu is pretty simple. I tried their seasonal drink the grape tea with conjac jelly and my partner tried their mango tea with boba. I typically don't like my drinks very sweet so I got it with less sugar. The aroma of the tea was insane in both drinks. Both drinks were so fragrant and you can actually appreciate the taste of tea. Even with 100% sweetness of the mango tea it wasn't overwhelmingly sugary and sweet so it was perfect for me. The boba was perfect texture. Everything about this place was so done meticulously and had the best experience. The service was excellent, too. I can't wait to come back to try different tea from here in the near future!!

The person making my drink was nice and suggested black tea instead of green tea, which I didn't mine. I received my drink and quickly left to drive back to work. Their almond milk tea is subtle. Much water, less tea, and barely any almond taste. Their boba is chewy like taro or mochi jelly, but bland. Absolutely bland. So bland that I couldn't really fathom finishing my drink. I didn't reach the halfway mark and just tossed the rest. I don't think I will be back. I should have stuck to my choices, because the boba and tea aren't good. Surprisingly when they have such high ratings. I'd rather spend my money on a different boba place.

I'd definitely give the drinks a higher rating, but between the long wait and the lack of air conditioning on such a hot day, I can only give the overall experience 3 stars. Hopefully they improve the service speed and keep the shop at a comfortable temperature for customers.

It was honestly surprising to find this almost being a cyber cafe as most other coffee shops, milk tea shops and others because they have a lot more considerations and food options to choose from. Especially being guided by the staff immediately upon the question of, "Have you been here before?" No! I haven't but I appreciated the fact that the service here is all about what is the best, what to expect and how to make the experience as smooth as possible. Thankfully it is easy finding something you'd like within the vast menu. Not to mention you'd also like the fact that everything is priced pretty average compared to most places around the area. It's still surprisingly to me finding a Taiwanese restaurant around this area but that's something that you come for especially price for price and pound for pound when it comes to portion and taste. Speaking of taste! The plum juice with boba was a good balance but lets not forget plum is definitely a certain bittersweet taste profile that isn't often enjoyed. It's a good reminder that you're having a subtle and healthy, fruity drink and still pairing it with the sweetness of boba. Now pair it with a small eats such as the popcorn chicken! Crispy basil residing in all the frizzled and well seasoned chicken and not to mention how juicy and tender the chicken is!

    I tried the regular milk tea with boba and the guava green tea, and I must say, I've had better…read moredrinks elsewhere. The drinks were pretty average, and the boba was a bit too firm for my liking. Will I return for drinks? Probably not.

    In the Chino Hills area for years, so happy to finally have a spot nearby that gives me those LA…read morebrunch vibes! I also love how connected they are to the local community, from their community board to plants from local vendors. Overall, such a comfortable, welcoming vibe with delicious food like their lox bagel and Biscoff latte. They also have a cute seasonal menu, like the Banana Cookie Dream Matcha! IG: socalhkfoodies

    HORRIBLE customer service!! I went yesterday, Thursday for the first time as I was looking for…read morecoffee a little later in the day. I found this coffee shop near me so I decided to go with my sister in law. We arrived 10mins before closing time so I was excited to make it on time. Apparently the ridiculously rude young lady working there wasn't having it. She took a couple minutes to take our order since putting in the patio furniture was more important. When she finally finished, she came to the counter with a horrible attitude asking what we wanted. My sister in law wanted a hot coffee and she refused to served it since the machine was "off" already. Then she proceeded to order a banana iced coffee (don't know the name) and again the lady refused to make it since it was one of their most "complicated" drinks to make. We ended up ordering two "quick and easy" ice drinks. We asked if she was working alone... this lady only had rude comments and answers to say (smart ass). It is unfortunate to be treated that way specially when it was my first time there. It is also very unfortunate that the Spanish Latte I ordered was delicious, BUT I will never be returning or recommending this place due to the horrible customer service. I have family in the coffee business and customer service is always a priority, not at this location. Very disappointed with whoever hired her and trained her.
