Went here for the first time today and was so happy with my drink! Love their options for both tea…read morechoices as well as add ins. I got the hojicha tea at 50% sweetness with boba and salt cheese foam and it was absolutely perfect. There's a handful of places to sit and enjoy your drink, including if you want to stay for a little longer to work. Parking was fine when I went (midday during the week)- plenty of available spots, though I imagine it could be hit or miss on availability depending on when you go. Looking forward to going back and trying more drinks!

Ume Tea is one of the best tea shops on the west side because it is such a bang for your buck…read more Popcorn Chicken: This was around $10, but I could easily split this over 2 meals. The exterior was crispy and well-seasoned, while the interior was tender and juicy. They were very generous with the amount of chicken, which came in the cutest box. It comes with one free sauce and you could choose between sweet & sour, ranch, etc. Mango Pomelo Sago: Ume Tea serves a solid Mango Pomelo Sago, which was about $6. I loved the inclusion of grapefruit in it as it serves as the perfect contrast against the sweetness of the mango. I have tried other drinks from them as well, such as their teas, which did not particularly stand out to me. Most of their drinks are on the cheaper side though, so I would come back for the drinks when I am feeling sad and broke. I would come back to Ume Tea over and over again just for the popcorn chicken!

Really cute place and its aesthetic is finely curated for social media. It works! Cuz, I bookmarked…read morethis place just so I could come get a surprise cup for a plushie. I'm rarely in west LA anymore but after going to LAX, it was a perfect time to go to Ume. We got the brown sugar boba milk teas, always a safe way to try out a new boba spot. Also, popcorn chicken and sesame balls. The drinks were 3 stars. Definitely not the worst nor the best I've ever had. Surprise cup holds 24oz drink then the bottom is pretty spacious for a good size little plushie. Popcorn chicken had no flavor. I'm used to Asian mild still having spice. There was none to be found. My kid barely at it. Sesame balls were pretty tasty. Overall, good if you're in the area. But I wouldn't drive this way just to come here

I really liked: Taiwan oolong milk tea…read more Ube creme brulee Egg tarts The Taiwan oolong milk tea is excellent. The boba is perfectly chewy and flavorful. The ube crème brûlée flavor is light but smooth, a subtle treat that pairs nicely with the tea. The egg tarts are outstanding. Perfectly sweet with a silky smooth consistency that makes them a must-try #goodeats item. Really sad this place is closing down at the end of the year. Definitely a better than average bubble tea shop. Service is pretty normal, and the space is small. Most people get their orders to go, but you can sit if you want. The interior feels like a renovated small Starbucks. No restroom, so plan accordingly.

There's two kiosks to order at when you enter- the order is made quickly. I chose the Cream brûlée…read moreThai milk tea with boba. It's sweet, creamy, and cold with the boba warm and chewy.

Most if not all of their drinks are good as they are fairly consistent with their quality, and be sure to check their Instagram/app for any deals! I got the Crispy Grape Bloom this time since it's so hot out. The only 'downside' is that we waited almost 40min for two drinks, but it's pretty worth it.

It was our first time at Boba Guys. The 3 specialty drinks we ordered did not disappoint. Excellent…read morecustomer service at this Boba Guys location. As soon as we walked into the shop, we were greeted and asked what we would like to order. The 2 young gentlemen made suggestions and informed us of Boba Guys, popular drink orders and what customers label as their favorite specialty drinks. This fist time visit we ordered the Strawberry Fields, Dirty Banana Milk and Ube Latte. All 3 drinks were delicious and not too sweet. Strawberry Fields was yummy and you can taste the strawberries yet it's not tangy. Dirty Banana Milk was excellent and has such a unique taste. The banana flavor was great and wasn't overpowering the latte. Ube Latte was delicious. You can taste the ube syrup and not taro. We can't wait to come back and try other food items on Boba Guys menu.

Stopped by Platform for the first time in years (which feels really old to say). The Boba Guys…read morearrived after I left the area so I was excited to try it after hearing so many good things. I was impressed when we stepped in and saw them hand mixing some sort of concoction, possibly their house made Hojicha? I ended up getting the Hojicha latte and it was delightful. Not too sweet but not too bitter either, perfectly toasty. My only nit is that it's suuuuper tiny, so no indoor seating aside from what is offered at Platform (which isn't much). Not over on this side of LA often anymore but would recommend to anyone who is if you're in need of a quick boba pit stop! Easiest parking is probably just in the Platform structure.

This was my first time trying CHAGEE and I liked the tea shop. It's very pretty and has a nice…read moreaesthetic. I liked their bags a lot! Service was also very friendly. I tried a jasmine green tea latte and thought it was very smooth. The regular sugar was fine enough for me, not too sweet. I would try this drink again when I have the CHAGEE open up near my house!

My eldest daughter got her coffee from Chamberlain Coffee. I wanted to get my tea drink from Chagee…read moreModern Tea House. Both located at Westfield Century City Mall. WOW, one of the busiest spots at the mall! Atmosphere was a bit congested with so many people sitting and standing around. It was hard for me to picture this place in its quiet and peaceful space. They have special merchandise and tea for purchase. Extremely long line all the way out the front door. Once we got closer up to the counter, it went swiftly. Since it was our first time at Chagee, I asked the young gentleman for his recommendations. He suggested Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte was one of their most popular drinks so that's what I got. Thank you young man! My daughter wanted to try the Chagee DayDream Frozen Blended so that's what she got. I know she already got coffee, but there's always room for more. I was surprised the prices were so very reasonable. I thought their prices would be higher based on their high end tea name brand. Another WOW, I was impressed with the unique and exquisite flavor of the tea in my drink. It was quite delightful and addicting to say the least. I loved it! My daughter loved her blended drink, too. A+ for both! Here is the not so WOW part... wait time was a bit long due to the busyness. Also I asked for a bag to store both drinks. The young lady said sure. She opened the pretty designed blue bag and handed it to me. I was shocked by her behavior... such lack of service IMHO. I would have expected her to place my drinks in the bag. I guess not. I bagged them myself. All good. Hence, minus 1 star! Thanks Chagee for staying true to your well crafted tea creations at very reasonable prices! But please work on your customer service. The full tea experience deserves excellent service first and amazing teas second.

I ordered the classic Sunright Boba Milk Tea, made with Ceylon black tea and their signature house…read moremilk, drizzled with brown sugar syrup and topped with brown sugar boba. I adjusted the sugar level to 75% with less ice. My friend got one of their limited specials, the lemon Yakult with tea jelly. It was a bit tart, but right up her alley. She also enjoyed the refreshing tea jellies. I also enjoyed the interior decor with the yellow color scheme that gives the space a cheerful, welcoming feel. Ordering was very easy using the two kiosks near the entrance, and the drinks came out quickly. It's a to-go-only spot and unfortunately doesn't have indoor seating, but it's great for a quick boba run.

Strong tea flavor is prominent in this drink and that's why it's the best. I chose agar boba because it's chewy and it does not get softer while sitting in the milk tea for a long time. I also ordered their cheese foam before and it elevated the bold flavor of Ceylon tea with sweet and salty topping made from whipped cream cheese foam. DELICIOUS. Sunright Tea Studio is one of my favorite boba tea spots I always go to.
