    6/5/26 Gong Cha Gardena, CA... Made a quick stop here an upgraded to the newer sized XL drink for my Taro Milk Drink regular ice, no sugar. It was really good. I really recommend you try this place as Ashley has great customer service and my drink was super great! Restroom was nice and clean. Store was very clean! Come give them a try!!!

    Pumpkin milk tea and mango yogurt
    Brenda L.

    The good: I got the pumpkin spice milk tea and mango yogurt drink. You self order from one of two tablet ordering areas. Inside, there are some high chairs by the window. I like how they had new and seasonal flavors. I all liked that the sweetness and ice could be adjusted and that there were non-caffeinated drink options for my kids. They had some food items as well. The bad: There's no outdoor seating. The worker there didn't interact with us at all. I guess that's why self-ordering kiosks exist. The boba was slightly more al dente than I would've liked. The interesting: They had a fake flower wall and Felix, the K-pop star, cardboard cutout as a photo opp.

    Gong Cha is my fav boba chain, and I'm so glad we have one in the South Bay! My go-to order is brown sugar milk tea with boba, and Gong Cha makes it perfectly every time. Their boba is fresh and chewy. The best! This boba shop is located in a corner lot with lots of parking. Inside is cozy, and there's a few stools at the counter for seating. Staff here is always friendly when I visit, and they make the drinks pretty fast too!

    Matcha Levi Milk Tea

    Tried this Matcha Levi Tea that's only 99 calories. They're under new management so the drink and the place is great and clean. Highly recommend you check it out!

    How cute is it that you can get a drink in a gingerbread bottle???? I mean, they saw me coming because it's just too cute to pass up. I went with something safe - milk tea, 30% sweetness level and just a little boba. I'm not a huge boba fan. Service was amazing!!!! The person who was helping me was super helpful and nice.

    milk tea & brown sugar milk tea & green milk tea
    Rachel Z.

    Green milk tea - 6/10: honestly just tastes like sweet milk. The tea is not really noticeable but the tapioca pearls are enjoyable. Honestly, I wouldn't choose to come here as often but it has the relatively better options for tapioca boba and milk tea. Brown sugar milk tea - 8.5/10: one of the better options that is worth ordering

    I was across the way at Miss Donuts when the taste for wintermelon tea with boba came up. Actually, it's more like the taste for wintermelon tea with boba came up when I spotted this place. So, before coming through, I checked their menu online first to make sure they had it. And they did! So I waltzed my way through their doors and put the order in on the kiosk. And since I was the only customer at the time, it (literally) took 2 minutes for my drink to come out. BACK STORY: I'm specific about this drink because one of my college best friends introduced me to it from Meet Fresh. I fell in love with it immediately, and after years of searching for something similar at other milk tea spots (the nearest Meet Fresh is not a convenient drive for me) I haven't found an equivalent since then. UNTIL NOW. It's not exact, but it's very VERY close. It's refreshing, most especially during these hot SoCal days. The taste is spot on without that weird after taste (you know... that weird stuck on your mouth feeling.) If I were to critique it, I'd recommend cooking the boba pearls a bit longer. They were a bit too chewy for my taste. I'd also recommend shaking the drink to chill the entire cup before serving it. But not really a thing, though, since I can do that myself and the whole thing was chilled in a few seconds. It just makes a better impression when it's served already chilled. DRINK: 5. SERVICE: 3. Very little interaction. VALUE: 4. PARKING: Private lot shared with many other spots. Street also available (but you're better off parking in the lot.) Shouldn't be an issue. OVERALL: 4. So glad I finally found one that suits my winter melon tea needs so close to home! Future stops?! You bet!

    1 of 3 LE FF14 x Gong Cha collab keychains. Very beautiful!

    I've been here multiple times in the past, but finally writing a review! It's probably been more than 3 years, but I came back since they had a FF14 x Gong Cha collab going on. You have to order 3 drinks to get the limited edition keychain or code for an in-game item. Also pro tip: if you check in through Yelp, you can get a 20% discount. The drinks were well made! The staff were working really hard to get all the orders in (online and in-person), and still delivered great customer service. Ambiance is small. Not really a place for hanging out, but it's pretty standard for boba stores to have this layout. I would recommend this location!

    Maria F.

    It's been a while since we ordered from Gong Cha and even longer since we last ordered delivery. They now have a food option. It's a limited menu of sweet? Or savory waffles. We ordered the cheese waffle. Scrumptious! We'll try this again and perhaps the other options on the list! Enjoy!

    A classic Gong Cha experience. We got the same drinks that we always get and the drinks are always consistent. Yelp check-in gave us 20% off and we also redeemed our Gong Cha Rewards points to get another $3 off. Saw that they had a FF14 collab during this time which is pretty cool. Good overall experience at this location.

    Great customer service. They do have a screen where you can order, but any question you have the staff will respectfully answer and accommodate. I went back for the third time and I got myself a Wintermelon tea (for all the caffeine sensitive people like me) which I really enjoyed. It only come in one sweetness level which I was ok with because the overall flavor is balanced. If you like anime, check out the post-its anime drawings by the counter cuz they are really cool and some are funny. Anyway update on the boba: the boba was in nice texture. It wasn't too chewy and hard. It was just right.

    Taro Smoothie
    Mei R.

    I got the Taro smoothie and I'd give it a 7.5/10. You order through the electric kiosks which is easy to use. It has a nice and clean interior as well. They currently have a collab with Snoopy.

    I absolutely love this place, my family and me always come here when we are around. We love the boba drinks and how the staff workers are always the nicest. Gong cha is the cutest little boba shop I've ever been to.

    Ask the Community - Gong Cha

    Are their milk teas lactose free?

    Hello Cheryl, All our milk teas are made with a non-dairy plant creamer so they are lactose-free.

    Can I bring my own reusable cup? And also, are there any non-dairy milk substitute/options like almond milk or soy milk for the milk tea?

    Yes, & you get 10¢ for bringing your own cup. I'm not sure about non-dairy substitutes for the milk tea.

This tea house was founded by Chef Nam and is a sister shop of NAM Kitchen. As others have pointed out, their pink colored takeout cup for hot drinks looks like a copycat version of Molly Tea's cup and the logo for MAI looks very similar to Chagee's logo. [Parking]: The tea house is located inside Pacific Square Shopping Center in Gardena and there's plenty of parking space within the lot. [Ordering]: There are two kiosks to place an order. No waiting line on a weekday afternoon. [Setting]: Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables with K-pop music playing in the background. [Menu]: Some of the top highlighted items include Pistachio Bun, Babanana Coffee, Strawberry Matcha, Double Matcha, Ube Cream Coffee, etc. For milk options, the tea house uses Straus Organic Milk. The morning menu (8 AM to 11 AM) only includes coffee and matcha and the full drink menu is available after 11 AM. *** Double Matcha (green tea organic milk swirled with velvety matcha cream foam - Straus organic milk & less ice - $8.00): Passable drink, but it didn't taste as strong as other Double Matcha drinks I have had in Koreatown. The latte portion tasted a bit watery. The drink also didn't appear to have less ice despite having picked the less ice option. *** An a-okay option for anyone who's craving matcha but doesn't want to drive out of the way to Koreatown. I had too high of an expectation for this tea house and there are better matcha options in the South Bay.

The products are great, but the place lacks vibe / feels a little soulless (except for the music). If I recall correctly, they used to have tables but gradually removed all seating and became fully take-out. Though when I came in to visit today, they added some benches, which is a good sign. Please return the seats and tables! :) Other than that, I highly recommend the place for your boba fixes!
