    Pot plant milk tea
    Katelyn K.

    I was in the area to do some grocery shopping and saw there is a boba shop in this plaza. I went in and they blocked off everything so you need to ring the doorbell on the table and someone will assist you. I got the pot plant milk tea and when she said the total was $7 I was shocked at how expensive it was. I checked the menu and it said $6.50 so I'm guessing plus tax but still, it was too pricey. After receiving my pot plant milk tea I saw all the toppings inside such as boba and pudding. I didn't want all of these toppings in my drink but I guess it's included? I didn't ask the lady to remake my drink because of my own misunderstanding and it took a while to get my drink. Besides the price I was upset that boba had no flavor. It wasn't honey boba or anything. Just plain boba with no flavor. I'd be open to try another drink when I'm in the area.

    I was in the plaza and decided to get some boba. Once you go past the entrance door, it is blocked off by plastic screen shields. It was confusing, but you're supposed to push the bell that is on the table. Maybe put a sign to make it obvious for people like me, lol. The owner/employee will come up to take the order and payment. I got the honeydew milk tea and it was pretty good.

    When we arrived, the sign said open but the door was locked. Bit strange but maybe they had to step out. We came back a bit later and they were open. Currently only for take out and cash only. The lady that greeted us was nice but she barely spoke English and I was worried our order would be messed up but she got it right. Drinks were good. Prices are average.

    This place is open for business. It's not closed like stated. I wanted something to drink while doing some grocery shopping in the plaza. They put a plastic screen and table to protect themselves as well as us. You have to ring the bell for service and they'll come to you. The drink was so delicious that I finished it in less then 3 minutes. Lots of variety of milk teas. Convenient while doing grocery shopping next door

    Taro milk tea with boba and mango green tea with boba
    Sandy M.

    Decided to try the boba here because there were pictures of egg waffles/eggette/egg puff. To my disappointment, they don't have it. The drink menu is pretty standard stuff, so I got a taro milk tea with boba and mango green tea with boba. The drinks are pretty sweet and the boba was a little on the al dente side and it wasn't flavored. Did not enjoy the drinks at all and threw out more than half.

    It looks as though there's a new owner. Is there only one person working at this place? I was waiting by the register to be helped, and I guess they were busy cooking or making drinks. I had to open the door again so that someone would come to the front so that I could place my order. To their defense, I guess they just wait for the front door bells to ring when it is opened. Since I had already been helped, I guess she didn't think I would order something else? The drinks are just an average 3 stars, but the price for their iced coffee promotion is 5 stars. That is basically how I ended up giving them 4 stars. It was $2 for a small iced coffee and $3 for a large iced coffee. At the time of this review, they had a Yelp check-in $2 drink promotion. I have ordered their popcorn chicken, and it is just like the other boba or tea places that sell it.

    I ordered the honeydew milk tea and egg waffle with ice cream. The food was good, not the best, not bad. Although, being the only person there the order took awhile to come out.

    Not a bad place! This is such a hole in the wall and it is cash only which is the only bummer. I love how it is super cheap and the decor is super cute. I think this place reminds me of the mother land of Hong Kong and just a different place than going to Half & Half and Ten Ren. Not much seating here and a tad dirty but hey, I'm not complaining since its super cheap. I ordered two boba milk teas but they ran out of boba. Keeping in mind, I went at 7pm and they close at 9pm which is sort of early. Either way, all was good and milk tea will suffice. Its not a bad flavor and its just how milk tea should be. Its more of a Hong Kong milk tea in my opinion so it was just standard. Can't wait to try the popcorn chicken next time! :)

    Bountiful box of Popcorn chicken for $4! Great prices and quality for milk tea
    Michael Y.

    We highly recommend visiting for their consistently good boba milk tea drinks and the lucky cats of good fortune! Their new decor and added booth seating is perfect for grabbing a quick snack - popcorn chicken for $4 - enough for several people to share!! Please see my pictures of the updated seating area with the cute lucky cats as decoration! We have been back over 10 times, and if you collect enough stamps (even from one order), you get a free suitable gift - full sized cup or cute spoon! That is a great deal, and Ben, whom I think is the new owner, is awesome and friendly. This place is located right in the heart of a hustling and bustling Monterey Park hotspot. It does require a little bit of walking to find it though, but it is totally worth it. Great prices too!

    Rose milk tea, Jasmin milk tea

    What a pleasant surprise to discover this hole-in-the-wall boba place The owner uses real Jasmin green tea leaves to brew their tea, too! It's the MOST FRAGRANT fragrant Jasmin milk green tea I had They use fresh durian to make their durian smoothie! Others use power. And they do not add preservatives either!!! The price is cheaper too! Buy 10 get one free!Definitely coming back!

    HK WAFFLE
    Alexis D.

    On Atlantic in Alhambra near the 10 freeway. Parking is horrible in this plaza. Minimal and tight spots. A hole in the wall joint. It has a very cozy atmosphere. A family that walked in after us knew the owners and it felt like they've known each other for years. A very small place with one table, a bench, and a bar-Esk seating area. Not a place to study for all those students out there, but more for those who want a quick drink to quench their thirst. We got a classic milk tea with boba (boba was quite chewy they said) & a almond milk tea with no boba. My almond milk tea could have used a little bit more almond. But that's just me. We also got a HK waffle!. And oh my was it yummy!. The owner said they ran out of batter and needed to make a new one, which I was fine with waiting the 10-15 minutes for a new one since we were waiting on shrimp balls next door. The women before me got the first HK waffle, and we could smell the fragrant sweet and light vanilla flavor even before entering the store and I knew we had to get one. Overall, a small place with simple drinks and good food. CASH ONLY!

    I'm going to be the sour patch kid who gives this 4.5 star joint 3 stars only...sorry! It can potentially be pretty good, but from what I saw/tried, I was reminded of my college days at Lollicup or Quickly. =DRINKS= 1) Durian Real Fruit Smoothie - Pretty good and fresh. You can actually smell the delicious scent of durian while they're making it in the back. Awesome! The smoothie was a pretty good consistency with a pretty solid/fresh/strong flavor. I only took one very good sip and the durian flavor lingered in my mouth for the next 2 hours (WHILE I drank my own order too!) 2) Wintermelon Milk Tea - Wow....SO much winter melon taste. If you like extremely strong and sweet winter melon taste, this is for you. It was NOT for me. I mean, it is not to say this was disgusting, but it was a little too much for me. Not recommended. Their special milk tea that I tried as a sample was actually pretty good (wish I got that one instead). =SERVICE= The service was pretty good. The young lady at the counter offered us samples without us even asking, and our drinks were made fairly quickly. I think they are kind of pre-made. Anyway, they're going to have a lotto machine here in a little while...so for you folks who like to do that, lucky you! =FINAL VERDICT= While I was not too impressed with their drinks, I was not turned off by the whole ordeal. I'm still hoping for another shot at being blown away (as I kind of expected to be the first time).

    CASH ONLY! This place has got to be the only Boba shop in the SGV to have a Durian Smoothie! You can practically smell the durian when they are making it. Not only does it smell like it, it taste like it! It is so good. It's like eating a Durian without the mess! Their Boba Milk Tea on the other hand is a different story. I don't know how you can get boba milk tea wrong, but they clearly did. It was just bitter and tasted like coffee, and the boba was too hard to chew. I guess they are still in the process of getting their drinks together. As for the popcorn chicken, it's okay. Nothing special that stands out. They don't have sweet & sour sauce for the chicken...just ketchup. Overall, I would come back again. Just for the Durian smoothie though.

My usual order is mango oolong with grass jelly, which is still sweet enough for me at 0% sweetness. They take the tea seriously here - each cup is brewed upon ordering so it's not fast. They also have some cute twine to go around the top of the cup. The sizes are on the smaller side. They open at noon, so I've been too early to get something a few times. Heading back to LA again this week, I will probably end up here again at some point!

    02/28/26 Saturday…read more Award winning Taiwanese milk tea shop. Liked the transparency with the glass walls to allow you to see workers crafting the drinks. A bit pricey for the amount you get. The drink cups are on the smaller side. 9/10 Taro Milk Tea - light sweet is perfect because the taro paste and balls are sweetened. Just wish I could customize so it is milk instead of cream. So delicious and addicting but small portion size. Can still taste the tea despite the cream and taro. 8/10 Dong Ding Oolong Tea - probably should've gotten full sweet as it was very lightly sweetened at 75% sweetness. However, you can definitely taste the high quality loose leaf tea through the milk. Long wait, probably because today was the lunar new year festival happening on the same street this shop is situated. About 20 minutes in line to order because only one order kiosk and another 20 minutes to receive our drink. No one mans the orders, only workers to make drinks. Parking is limited because it is on Main Street.

I had an especially wonderful experience at this HeyTea today thanks to a worker named Yichun. Yichun was very helpful in helping me navigate the HeyTea app to use my Sparks to apply rewards to my order. She was so cheerful and happy to help. She also helped me get Sparks on my friends' orders as well (since they didn't want their points hehehe). There was no wait tonight, so we got our drinks immediately handed to us by Yichun as well. She also complimented my custom Doraemon sticker that I drew using the HeyTea app! The drinks, of course, are amazing. My personal favorite drink EVER is the Crisp Grape Boom, a delicious blend of jasmine green tea and grape juice that is miraculously only 120 calories! Every component in the drink is very well balanced. The slush is cold and refreshing without diluting the flavor. The sweetness of the grape juice complements the soft, floral jasmine tea in such an addicting way. And the pieces of grape at the bottom provide a satisfying "crisp" crunch! Recently, I've also really liked the King Jasmine Guava. The drink is incredibly fragrant. You get a punch the lime zest aroma simply by picking up the cup. You take a sip and are plunged into the sweet salted cheese cloud before breaking through to the wonderfully ripe guava drink, all the while being enveloped in their nine-scented King Jasmine Tea. Sweet, cheesy, ripe, complex, and fragrant. I almost feel bad drinking it because it feels like I'm cheating on the Crisp Grape Boom. And yes, it is that deep. And no, I am not exaggerating about anything. I love the Monterey Park HeyTea so much. Great vibes.

The boba is definitely honey soaked, which means that I can lower the sugar amount in my tea and the drink will still be sweet enough. When the boba isn't sweet, it really ruins the experience of having boba with your drink. I haven't had a bad experience with my drinks so far, but $7.20 is a bit high, so I can't come that often. Parking is also limited in front. Only two spots! However, there is a lot to the right, you just have to walk a little bit, but it's not too bad.
