    Game Corner
    Ian A.

    Comika Boba House (El Monte) is not bad. I ordered the Honey Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (no extra cost). It's unmemorable, but it's a "good enough" budget drink. I enjoyed the flat tea taste; however, I disliked those boba pearls. The boba had the texture of gummy, melted marshmallows. I liked its sweetness, but they were not bouncy nor perky. Unfortunately, as time progressed, the boba started to grow rigid and rubbery. I arrived at Comika Boba House (El Monte) on Wednesday (around 1:02PM). Parking is simple. There's a busy, competitive customer lot. I quickly found a parking spot. Staff is pleasant and welcoming. Staff worked quickly and diligently. When finished, Staff speedily moves to the back. My drink took three minutes and 25 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Honey Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (no extra cost). The drink is not bad. It's unmemorable, but it's also thirsty quenching, big, & very affordable. It's a harmless drink. My biggest gripe was its bad boba pearls. If I ever returned, I wouldn't touch that poorly prepared boba. At the very least, the drink is definitely a little better than tea prepped at a McDonalds. On ambiance, Comika Boba House (El Monte) is a breath of fresh, welcomed air. This business is a GOOD study/work spot. It's clean, comfortable, and has a cute dog aesthetic. There's customer internet with password; details are displayed on the wall. Also, there's about four electrical outlets. There's a gender neutral restroom for customers, and there's an appreciated Game Corner. The Game Corner includes Settlers of Catan, Chess, Connect 4, Uno Cards, and more. In addition, Comika Boba House (El Monte) is well-ventilated and plays clear instrumental music. The location has about six tables. It's a very comfortable spot for locals to work, study, and gather. Overall, Comika Boba House (El Monte) is not bad. It's a GOOD place for local students to study/work/chat. It's also a solid BUDGET spot for locals. Although this place is not unique nor memorable, it serves a good, helpful purpose for the community. 4.3 out of 5

    Strawberry cloudy and Mango cloudy
    James L.

    Comika is somewhat new, and had their soft opening some time in March. It's located in the same plaza as Ocean Bo dim sum, and the large parking lot sometimes does fill up. The name Comika, from what I heard, is taken from the last 2 letters of their 3 dogs: Coco, Lumi and Luka. On the wall near the rear, there are many photos of their pups, plus some of other fur babies. Their menu is posted on the wall by the counter. Tables can seat 2 to 4 and there are some board games in a shelf in the back, which gives the impression it's a cool place to hang out. Drinks: the mango and strawberry cloudies are very good at 50% sweetness. They're fruity, smooth and refreshing. The Coco, which is brown sugar boba milk with cheese foam is also good, but need to be stirred and sipped with the lid off. Side note, these aren't the best lids as they capture the drink and leak everywhere once you take the lid off. I also tried their Vietnamese coffee, and have to say it was one of the weakest I've had. Even with light ice, it wasn't bold at all. It's a nice spot to grab a drink and/ or snack. I would recommend the cloudies, but not the Viet coffee if you like 'em strong and bold.

    I found out about this spot from word of mouth! Such a great boba spot! The strawberry and mango boba were so good both tasted like they were made with homemade syrup! The shop has a cute dog theme, and I'm pretty sure the dogs featured are the owners I think they were even there when I visited, which made the experience even better. The space is modern, clean, and really inviting. Prices are affordable, they have WiFi if you want to get some work done, and even games if you're just there to hang out with friends. Definitely coming back!

    (Review based on 3.5 stars) Comika Boba House is the newest boba tea house in this plaza, on this side of El Monte. Located in the same plaza as LA Houseware and Corner Beef Noodle House, specifically next door to Ocean Bo Dim Sum Cafe. There is shared parking in the plaza. Comika Boba House is named after the owners' 3 shih tzus, Coco, Lumi and Luka. You can see a cute cartoon version on them on the menus. But if you want to see a photo of the actual 3, you will find them in the unisex restroom. My husband and I stopped by this tea house this past Saturday, taking advantage of their grand opening for the buy one get one free drink special. We found parking and walked in a little before 3:30 pm. We were greeted when we came in and ended up ordering the following: The Lumi, $6.50 prior to tax- This drink is a green tea made with mixed fruit and chia seeds. My husband ordered this drink to be made with 0% sugar and no ice. My husband did not like this drink very much because the chia seeds were not mixed in and felt it was way too much in the drink itself. He also didn't think the drink was was refreshing and felt the drink was watered down. I didn't try any of his drink. The Luka, 6.50 prior to tax- This drink is a strawberry shortcake cloud, made with "house milk" and a strawberry puree. I ordered this drink to be made with 25% sweetener. If I was to order this next time, I would order this as 0% sweetener since the strawberry puree does add sweetness, which the employee who took my order did warn me. I thought this drink was good but a little on the sweeter side for myself. This drink it s blended drink and was nice for the hot day that we came. --------------------------------- (Total= $7.20 after tax and special buy one get one free grand opening special) Wait time for our drinks was ~12 minutes. There are a few small tables with chairs. We just ended up sitting and relaxing a bit while we were here. I really like the cute logo and the meaning behind the name. But honestly, I probably wouldn't come back, as I am not normally in this area. But I do wish this business all the best and hope they will make it (as this location has been a few other tea houses in the past).

    Soft Opening! Mmm! Refreshing Lumi fruit drink with 50% sweet with easy ice. It was perfect drink on a hot day. Friendly staff. The ambiance was nice & clean. Perfect for group meetup and board games.

    Chia fruit tea
    Karen C.

    Very clean and cute boba place that is dog friendly. I got the chia seed fruit tea with lychee jelly and found they put so many slices of limes it took a bunch of volume out of the tea and the seeds were not pleasant to find as I'm taking sips of my drink. It was like a whole lime they put in my drink! One or two slices I get, the amount didn't add but rather took away from enjoyment. Flavor was fine and I was glad I can get options of light sweetness and light ice. No wait time, as I went 30 minutes before closing.

    Brown sugar milk tea
    Becky D.

    Came to grab some tea after work and I got the brown sugar milk tea, it wasn't super sweet but I lowkey wanted that sugar, but that's just me. I do prefer the coco one of their signatures! It's good! They serve snacks too, my son really liked their fries. We ordered it mild not too spicy. I often stop by when picking up vapes next door. The guys at the cash register is really helpful and is a fairly quiet and clean inside.

    This boba spot has changed hands a few times. I noticed they were in soft opening and decided to check it out since it replaced Mana Tea House and the boba shop that came after it. The service was very friendly, they explained their drinks to us and mentioned that many more items will be coming soon. We ended up ordering their signature drink named after the owner's dog, "The Luka." It was quite tasty, though even at 25% sweetness it was still pretty sweet, so I think 0% would probably be just right. It felt almost like a dessert, very milkshake-like, but overall we enjoyed it. I really hope this spot survives since we're always in the area. They mentioned fried items coming in the future, and I'm especially looking forward to when they open their kitchen and start making popcorn chicken.

    Jennifer W.

    Ready to come again. Enjoyed their fruity drinks, specifically the Lumi. The chia seeds made it a little special. There is a good amount of space to sit. The dog theme is very cute. Place is clean. Will definitely go again.

    So gassss YUMMYYY  love their happy hour ( drink and food item) so worth and delish  STAFF IS ALSO SOOO NICEE

    I love service was so nice and inviting. they care so much about their quality. food is also just GASSSSS af. love their happy hour option too

    Good popcorn chicken
    Sandy C.

    I'm reviewing just the popcorn chicken only. It took about 15 minutes for it to be ready but it was worth the wait! The popcorn chicken was definitely made fresh to order, hot and delicious. Perfectly cooked with crispy batter. The seasoning was close to authentic Taiwanese spice, and missing the thai basil but other than that it was pretty dang good!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Carolyne K.

    Love Comika!!! The matcha latte was both creamy and earthy at the same time, and the strawberry added a really nice sweetness to the drink. I thought the fried tofu would be pretty standard to other boba shops, but this one was pillowy soft on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside! I got it mild spicy and it was great :) Plenty of seating and very clean interior too!

    signature drinks
    Natasha M.

    cutie new boba shop! love the vibes and cozy and modern aesthetic. very clean and spacious and plenty of tables - great for students to study at or to hang out and play table games. music isn't too loud, which is a plus! ordered the luka at 25% sweet (I love a good blended drink) and got hubs the lumi. luka was perfectly blended and the perfect sweetness (I order 75% at other tea shops). the salted cheesy cream balanced out the drink so well. my daughter says it tasted like ice cream and I agree. sadly missed out on their free boba promotion (my own fault). lumi was so refreshing and fruity. loved the chia seeds for textural contrast and the lime slices for presentation. can't wait to come back and try the other drinks! give this small boba shop a try instead of the chains with +1hr lines!

There are cushioned bench seating areas and while overall it's a small shop, it's a decent place to study. I don't see outlets though.

The lot itself doesn't really have enough parking spots available for the 4 or 5 businesses that are in this little plaza. My husband and I have been to the location in Arcadia a few times and decided to check out this location since we were in the area. We came here last Saturday night and ordered our drinks at the kiosk (not sure if you are order with an employee or not, but the 2 employees we saw behind the counter seemed busy working on drinks, since their backs were towards us). We ended up ordering: Purple Rice Drink, $5.95- My husband ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I didn't have any but he thought it was just fine and enjoyed it. But the size was rather small. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea $6.75 + Large Size $0.75- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I was disappointed with this drink because the tea was overstepped. Quite a shame because that bitter taste lingered and had a weird after taste with the osmanthus (which is a flower). But the osmanthus flavor seemed a little artificial (I really like osmanthus and usually like to order it at tea houses so I am familiar with the taste). This drink did not taste good. ----------------------------- (Total= $13.45) Wait time was a little after 10 minutes. There wasn't really much interaction with the employees. The staff just placed our drink on the counter and called out the drink order number and then my husband walked up to the counter to get it. You had to get your own straw, which is right by the area where you pick up the drinks. I really don't see myself coming back to this location and probably won't be going back to BenGong's Tea in general anytime soon (the last time we went to the Arcadia location, my drink was also over steeped).

Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

It may have been that fates that day were against me, as the WiFi at this cafe was out. There happened to be a lot of younger people there as well that evening, so it was difficult to concentrate on the work at hand due to the noise level. Lastly, it was a bit of a struggle to get to the outlets underneath the booth seating. It's kind of a shame, because I liked the drink I got. The grass jelly went really well with the earthy and creamy milk tea and had a flavor profile like those jelly desserts at Meet Fresh. And for two toppings it was price appropriate. So tldr: good tea to-go place or social spot, otherwise not for me.
