    My sweet drink for the stressful day
    Jane K.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    I enjoy the Iced Grape Tea with Konjac and the Iced Peach Oolong Tea with Konjac. Both are refreshing and not too sweet. The staff are welcoming, and helpful in answering questions. Always moving, prepping and making the drinks timely and with precision. The place is kept clean and spacious. Love the drink sleeve caddies!

    I'm a Taiwanese so I'm happy to support Taiwanese tea products! A little bit overwhelmed to decide what drink to get. Staff is friendly to guide me through making decision. Place is bright and updated. Looks so new. I love how my drink label with my customized order. The string to carry my drink is so cute and creative. Cute idea! Price is expensive. Comes to about $8 for a drink. A bit steep!

    Cassia Tea, Green Tea

    This is our 3rd ChiCha to try. Much better location. Larger area with more place to sit but only 1 table. Service was fast during off hours. Not as crowded as the other two-San Gabriel and Rowland Height. Teas always fresh brewed and taste good, 5 stars. The feedback is why one size only.

    Justin H.

    CHICHA San Chen is hands down one of the best boba spots around. You can truly taste the quality in every drink from the freshly brewed teas to the perfectly cooked boba. Nothing tastes artificial or overly sweet; everything is well balanced and smooth. It's clear they put a lot of care into their ingredients and preparation. If you appreciate high-quality tea and consistently excellent boba, this place is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely keep coming back!

    Tea tasting area
    Angela C.

    First time coming to this new CHICHA san chen branch and it was nice and spacious! They gave a sample of their tea to try. They also have an area where you can do complimentary tea tasting. Overall nice space and great designs! You pick a tea base, an option flavor and optional topping. What I love about them is they hand brew each cup to order. I really enjoy strong flavor teas so the way they espresso brew each cup to the exact measurement really bring out the flavor! My group got their award winning green tea with mango, cassia with cream and grass jelly topping, high mountain pouchong with passionfruit and boba, and a lemon condensed milk with mango. They were all great, clean refreshing taste! Their boba was nice and chewy, but their grass jelly didn't have too much flavor so I'd probably skip out on that next time. Definitely give this place a try if you like drinks with great tea flavor!

    Cassia Black Tea with Mousse & Bubble
    Shirley W.

    Always been a Chicha fan and this was my first time visiting the Chino location. The space here is really nice and very spacious. There's even a few seating tables inside. Parking here was quite easy. We visited on a Monday evening and there was barely a line, so order was quite easy and efficient. I ordered my usual, cassia black tea with mousse and bubble. I would say, that the mousse wasn't as thick as the one I had in San Gabriel and Alhambra, but still pretty good. The tea quality is also high quality tea. Pretty glad they're expanding!

    Tea tasting station
    Jagruti L.

    I stopped by during the Soft Opening. This is a new Taiwan tea shop located in Chino. They have a tea tasting section which I will need to come back next time. Cute Ambiance. Service was great. Friendly staff. I ordered 2 drinks. Lemon Condensed Milk with Mango Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Honey with less sugar. Both drinks were great high quality tasting teas. We enjoyed it.

    This place is like tea on a different level. They have a separate bar area tea tasting but we missed it :( Ordered our drinks and it came out pretty fast. We got the Ostmanthus Oolong, Creamy Lemon Tart, and Grape Ostmanthus Oolong Tea. All tasted delicious with high quality tea. Their cream is very thick which is more mousse. Will come again when we can to try the tea tasting. Ps. Downside there isn't much space to hang and they only have one bathroom. Definitely a to go place.

So I asked the guy making the drinks where to choose it, and he said there was a button to select it. I told him no, there really wasn't, so I just typed a comment on the order to add boba. When my drink finally arrived, which took about 45 minutes, there was still no boba. I asked the same guy if he could add it, since there was no button on the iPad. He fiddled with his device while I waited, but wouldn't just give me a side of boba. I got fed up and said, please just scoop some into a cup so I can add it myself. He finally did, but honestly the boba was way too chewy and not good at all. SMH. Cost - $6.95

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.

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.

    Was finally in town early enough to stop by! I always love how pretty, floral, and pink the inside…read moreof this shop is! It's super cute!! And despite being a "small" space, there always seems to be plenty of seating, which is such a plus. This time I tried the Tiramisu Matcha. The tiramisu definitely added sweetness to the matcha. It was good, but I think next time I'd love to try one of the other matchas on the menu! Also, shoutout to how quickly they finished making both my drink and my friend's!

    I visited for the first time and unfortunately didn't have a great experience. When I ordered my…read moredrink, someone at the counter yelled my order across the shop even though there were only about three customers inside, which felt unnecessary. When I walked away, the barista also made a comment about the decaf drink that came across irritated. My friend had ordered a decaf beverage as well around the same time. While I was trying to focus on some work, one of the employees from the counter sat with a friend near the cashier area and they were speaking very loudly. Their conversation included comments about someone being Asian and arguing about whether someone was Black. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional to overhear that kind of conversation while sitting in the shop. I hope the staff receive some basic customer service and professionalism training, as the atmosphere made it difficult to enjoy the space.
