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

Interior

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!

Cassia Tea, Green Tea
Supardi D.

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.

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!

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.

Inside

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.

Setting: place is small with only a couple tables so not a place to sit around at, however, if it's a nice day there are seats outside to enjoy your drink. Mochi mango -first time trying mochi as a topping for a boba drink and I think I'm in love -I didn't know what to expect with the mochi but it was good, not too sweet and it did have a soft chew texture -the mango was fresh and sweet and loved the creaminess of this drink -this has now been my go to drink at this place Coco melon - such a refreshing summer drink ! Absolutely love Avocado mango sweet dew -never thought mango and avocado but it was a surprisingly good mix Mochi barley burst -usually not a fan of popping boba but this was different and quite satisfying -did wish the tea flavor was stronger -not to sweet but still a good balanced drink that I enjoyed Overall: -if you want something different than you normally boba shops this is the place to go! Highly recommend!

I did not like this drink at all and it could've been sweeter. My favorite part of the drink is the mochi. It tasted bomb. 6/10 Boba - Okay, I have a lot to say here. I was ordering on the iPad self-order and when I chose the Mochi Barley Burst, there was no option to add boba. 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

My favorite have to be the Sunright Fruit Tea and Grapefruit Jasmine Tea. I always get my drinks at 50% sweet. As for milk tea drinks, I like the Panda Milk Tea for the mix of both brown sugar & honey boba. This time I tried a seasonal drink, Lychee Fragrant Oolong with Aloe (50% sweet). It was good! I would have liked more lychee (there were only two), but love the flavoring with the aloe. This location is small but located in a large plaza with plenty of parking spaces.

I ended up getting it at 75% sweetness, and it was just right, which I really appreciated. The place itself is clean but on the smaller side, with not a lot of seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. It's definitely a popular place, especially with college students, probably because of how convenient the location is next to an Asian market. Overall, it's a really solid boba spot with great drinks and friendly service, and I can see why it's always busy.

With a large parking lot calming any worries of finding parking, the shop is located at the front of the curb and even easier to spot given the Hanlin sign in black font hovering among the other establishments. The entrance is very open with an IG friendly bench below a neon sign to the right and a shining white counter sitting in front of you. It's easy finding a seat among the chairs that litter the space, especially by an outlet for all your devices. 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!
