I give this place 5 stars even though I think the food is overpriced (I never get actual meals here)... I'm here almost once a week, so there's gotta be a reason for that! TAKOYAKI is my favorite snack item to get here! It beats the takoyaki at Mitsuwa food court, which is the only other place I have had takoyaki .. I usually get the mini order of 3 pieces b/c I'm cheap. Also it's cheaper to order two mini orders than one full order despite getting 6 pieces of takoyaki balls each. Drinks don't give me Asian lactose intolerance problems and the workers remember when I order half sugar!! Also I like that the TV plays NBA instead of live TenRen-related tweets like at the other Walnut location. Also they have more seating area which is good for studying !! read more

They serve Alc at Ten Ren?? NO WAY! Mango Soju was the normal soju to drink for happy hour. Salt & pepper fries were okay! I didn't really have anything else since I was only there to catch up with a friend. But after knowing about this place, I can meet up with my friends for more happy hour! read more

Ordered the beef noodle soup, pork chop rice and fish fillet. Food came out quickly and service was good. Fish fillet was crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside. It came with 2 typical Taiwanese sides and corn soup. Pork chop was pretty standard with same sides. The beef noodle however, was waaay to salty for my taste. While there was a good amount of meat included, the noodles were OBVIOUSLY instant cooked firm and wavy) and the included pickled mustard just made the whole thing saltier. That said, our drinks were great. We ordered the house fruit green tea (with fruit pieces), green milk tea and honeydew teaser. Our bill neglected to reflect the lunch special discount initially, but the waitress quickly fixed it after we brought it up. We'll be back - just not for beef noodle. :-) read more

Ok, I love the food (but it's overpriced) I love the drinks (but they are overpriced) But I hate the wait here! I guess I just went while it's SO BUSY but I was waiting for a to-go order for 25 minutes. Popcorn chicken! Also I have tried to be on the ten ren twitter feed which is "live" so many times and even after watching 25 minutes all the times I go in, I never see myself! Please tenren! Add me to your display screen and I would be so happy I'd forget about the wait. It's like being famous! Food- 4 stars, because of price Drinks - 4 stars, because of price WAIT - -203948 stars! read more

I never knew there was a Ten Ren's Tea Time on my way to work! I was craving something sweet and decided to pay this place a visit. Upon arriving to this place (it's hidden in the corner of a plaza), there was parking all over around the place. I took their menu and pondered on what I wanted to drink. I wanted something along the lines of a Matcha Green Tea Smoothie . I asked the cashier and he said that they do have it and it's called Jade Teazer. I asked for an additional red bean and he recommended 3/4 of sugar instead being that the red bean will also be sweet. Less sugar also brings out the flavor of the tea and adding a nice bitterness to it. For a large, it was $6.01 . More expensive than my usual venti Caramel Machiatto at Starbucks but it seemed much larger. I'm glad he recommended 3/4 sweetened because the red bean was really sweet by itself. Not usually the kind of Match Green Tea smoothie I'm used to being that it's not creamy. I'm guessing that they use a water base instead of a milk base. Not too bad! I'll visit this place more often since it's on the way to work. read more

My particular favorites here are the milk icee and the sea salt shaved snow. They are happy to make adjustments as needed to your drinks if it is not satisfactory. I tend to like more black sugar syrup in the milk icee, and they are happy to make that adjustment. If you haven't had the sea salt shaved snow, it is really worth trying as it takes the shaved snow concept and adds a bit of saltiness that really brings out the flavor of the dessert. The sea salt shaved snow here is unique. It is not available at all Ten Ren's Tea Time. The two places where I have found this are at this location at the Ten Ren's Tea Time on Fullerton in the City of Industry. You might have had shaved snow at places like Class 302, however the addition of the sea salt in the shave snow is unique. It is not overpowering with just a hint of sea salt. Much like European desserts, a little bit of salt helps to add more complexity and brings out the sugar in the desserts. I was blown away the first time I had the sea salt shaved snow and am completely addicted now, even in the midst of a cold dark wet winter. We tend to create our own with taro chunks, grass jelly and with plenty of condensed milk. The milk icee was another first that I had at Tea Time. I usually get it with black sugar, pudding and grass jelly. It is essentially ice that is blended with some milk, creating something akin to shaved ice that is portable and potable. The customer service here is pretty good, and they are happy to adjust with extra black sugar if needed. We haven't stopped by here for their savory items, but I'm sure it is similar to other Tea Times, meaning that they are usually delicious. Particular favorites are the typical Taiwanese deep fried snack items such as the popcorn chicken and the deep fried tofu. The rice sausage is also pretty delicious. read more

Came here for lunch on 3/3 around 12:30 noon, and ordered the lunch with with the discounted special house special drink. The waiter said house tea is charged as $1.95 during lunch as discounted price for green/black tea and green/black milk tea. So we ordered a regular green tea and a larger green milk tea. When the bill came out it was charged as a regular large price instead of the discounted $1.95 plus a large size fee. The waiter didn't let us know when we ordered the large size that it was not considered as "house special tea " for $1.95. Though a green milk tea is a house special tea, and when I ordered a large size, all of a sudden the green milk tea is not a house special anymore. At the end of the day, the price is not that different, but the waiter was bad at explaining and when I expressed my confusion saying that they didn't specify, he argued he did and was not polite and said "it's company policy". He said I can call his manager to talk about this if I want. I won't be returning to this store due to the service. When you work as a server, it's most important to keep your customers happy, and explain the menu and pricing well. We were honestly not offered a clear explanation when we ordered the drinks, and waiter was not happy that we disputed the charge. I asked if the manager is in store, ONE OF THEM GAVE ME A FACE AND SAID "NOPE." I told him WE WONT BE RETURNING, and HE SAID IT'S FINE. BOTH male servers gave me attitude as if I am the server and they were the customers. Yea. Definitely won't come again, consider the food was NOT great and on the OILY and SALTY side, and server would go rogue and tell me he's fine with me not returning again. BTW I still tipped them for the service before this thing went down. Store owner- hope you don't have many staff like this, cuz they clearly don't care about returning customers and the customers satisfaction with their service. read more

It advertises itself very well. It's Ten Ren's with beer and wine. Well, don't expect much in terms of variety though, because it's not like Ten Ren's has its own brewery growing around the back. Also, don't expect any crazy drinks involving mixes of milk tea and alcohol either. I was actually hoping for that. People flock in during happy hour. This makes tea place food perfect, because I always considered "tea house" food to be alcohol snacks. So, squid balls, those awesome sweet potato fries and even the wings go well with your pitcher of beer. Also, they have a pretty solid collection of flavored Soju and the prices are pretty decent during happy hour too. The decor is pretty casual and you'll feel relaxed and can catch a game from time to time. The servers are typical tea house employees and are a hit and miss. Sometimes, they'll be awesome, whereas other times, they will forget about you for a long time. However, after a bit of alcohol in your body, nothing really matters anymore and at least for me, I walk out happy followed by a nice nap once I get home. Sure, there's a lot of other better options for alcohol, but it's pretty convenient to get tea and beer in one place. It's worth to try at least once just for a random check in. It's also the first and I think only Ten Ren's that serves alcohol. read more

This would be my number 1 Ten Ren's place to study at. There's a whole side with booth seating and plugs galore. Sort of. I loved studying here but it's really dim. There's also a lot of good seating areas so this is the place to go for dinner of you want Ten Ren's. And they have like 3 tv screens that show mostly basketball games. So if you're into that and alcoholic beverages, then go here. Their boba milk tea isn't as good as their other locations though. It tastes more powdery than the other places and they don't have those great buy one get one drinks or joy pot deals like the Gale location. Overall, I don't care for any of the Ten Ren's noodle entrees. Their soup is so plain and not flavorful. But it's hard to resist noodle soup when you're studying for a long amount of time. It's good that they have those snack deals that are under $4. read more

I will say that this location is quieter and nicer looking than the one on Grand Ave, but I just don't find the tea drinks as appealing as those from other tea shops. I tried out the barley milk tea and was hoping for more of a nutty flavor that comes from barley, but it was unfortunately, too watered down. I can't comment on the food, yet. Service was quick when I came late on a weekday afternoon. I will give this place another chance to try out its happy hour menu. Price looks good, however I just hope their cocktails won't be as diluted as their teas. read more

Each and everytime I have gone, the food has been 4 starts. The issue I have with this particular location is service. The employees tend to be young and inexperienced or at least not the best. The food makes up for the lack of service and care, though. Also, I have received my beer at room temp a couple times.... weird! read more

This place gets busy but it's always an option for the boyfriend and I. The teas are good and the food hits the spot. My favorite is the Mongolian bbq plate. And a Winter melon milk tea with white boba. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. read more

They serve beer & wine.. 'Nuff said! Oh and try their calamari here.... Delicious! I've seen this place grow successfully from its start up to now and am definitely impressed. I think the draw is the alcohol & the available space inside. Plus it's clean & in an area where they are the only boba place in the plaza. I do enjoy the staff here because they are really friendly & laugh at my jokes & don't mind me talking to them too much about some random story. I'm a pretty open & sociable person & always find myself talking with staff at any establishment, so I do appreciate that they do not mind my randomness & quirkiness. Haha..Ok enough of that! I love the fact that I can come to this place with a group of people and have a good time because there's the option to have not only boba drinks, but also alcohol. Not many boba joints have that option! This location is genius to have that. read more

I like to enjoy my casual time in TenRen. Besides drinks and snacks, they have free wifi, electric outlets and comfortable seats. When you need a place to study or do some paper work, here is really a good choice. Their popcorn chicken is a little bit too dry, so I don't like it much. But I like their sweet potato fries with plum powder and chicken fillet. Most of their entree planes are good, too. read more

Love this place. Right off the beginning the service was immaculate!! Nancy (girl assisting us) was super nice and had amazing customer service skills. They even put on the basketball game for us. Food was out almost instantly. All the food was on point and couldn't have asked for anything more tasty. On top of this the boba was one I'd have again and again! Looking for an awesome place to eat... definitely come here and ask for Nancy!! Cheers! read more

Popcorn chicken for the price was kind of little. However the taste overall was good and crispy. I also ordered jasmine milk tea on the side, sweetness is right at the spot! read more

So far.... Three other parties came in AFTER ME, and all got their orders taken before mine... Took me almost 20 mins to get them to take my order.... I'll update later about food quality.. OK so the food was really tasty. I had the house fried rice and fried gyozas. Plus for a drink I had the Thai tea which I love, and they produced a great one It was a little pricey, but it was very delicious and almost worth the waiting. The waiting thing got me though, I work 2mins from here and wish it would've been a better experience. Not sure if I'll return... But if I do I'll call my order in. read more

Gotta say I was disappointed with the quality of... everything. The drink tasted watered down (honey milk tea), the honey flavor was more bitter than sweet. It basically tasted like honey flavor rather than actual honey. The service was practically non-existant. Larger groups that came after my friend and I were greeted and served immediately. It took something like 15 minutes before we were even given menus, and even longer for our dishes, and twice that just for the check... that we had to get up and pay anyway at the register because no one was bringing anything. My friend had to ask twice just for a bowl of rice. I ordered the "chicken" filet with rice. The rice and bean sprout salad was very good but the chicken could barely be qualified as a meat product. I know some people like the chewy, fatty, gristly, tendony, and nervy parts of chicken, but if I wanted that I would've ordered it. I expected chicken MEAT. I had to spit out almost all the pieces I was trying to eat. It was a shame because the seasoning and sauce was good but I couldn't actually EAT it. Eventually I just gave up on the chicken. I wouldn't come back here. Loud, boisterous groups getting better service and being served subpar food/drinks is not okay with me. read more

So I haven't been to Ten Ren's in awhile and had a crazy craving for milk tea. Guy at the register was either having a bad day or just doesn't care about his job. As I walk in no greeting, cuts me off as I'm saying how's it going with "for here or to go?" Before even asking what I wanted he puts the menu on the counter and starts talking to his coworker. Once I decided my order and let him know what I wanted he again cuts me off with "Can I have your name?" They also seem to have raised their prices. A large milk tea with boba for nearly 6 bucks? Wouldn't have been that big of a deal if it wasn't syrupy and about half the contents of the cup being boba and ice. If I wanted mediocre and overpriced tea I'd have gone to 85. read more

Have return to Ten Ren several times since it is quiet convenient from my residential area. Yes overall has improved. Staff are always friendly. This is good way to do business, Brit you didn't take my complaint in a negative way and bite me back ;-). I have seen some business owner replied in a very rude way. Wish you more business with that positive attitude. I will and have been returning many times. read more

Last time i was here, i received horrible service from a Queenie. Not sure if she is there now but it made me not want to come back. She clearly was there for only the money, she appeared to be a money grabber. Cared about tip, and not the well being of her job's duties. Seem like she had a lot of self inflicted personal problems read more

Whenever I want drink boba tea, I always find Tenren in Walnut. I fall in love with Taro milk tea due to staff who works here. At that time, we asked him best drink here. I have never seen yammy taro drink except here. Taro boba is very creamy and kinda sweet. Also, the staffs are very kind and have a smile. read more

I used to enjoy coming to this Ten Ren. It is conveniently located on Valley and Lemon in Walnut. Our favorite entrees include the Tonkatsu Ramen, assorted Vermicelli and pork dumplings. Recently, we have noticed that the owner of this restaurant has decided to value profit over its customers and employees. This past Sunday at lunch, there were a total of two waitresses and one waiter managing close to twenty tables of customers. Even if you are not a math major, you could and should understand that your customers and employees will both suffer from this mayhem. My daughter and I had to get our own drinks from the counter after half an hour. The Tonkatsu ramen came 10 minutes after our order. We then waited another 45 minutes for a plate of pork dumplings. We then asked the waiter if we were going to get the fries my daughter ordered. 5 minutes later, the fries finally came. I don't know how this is acceptable to other customers. Until this is corrected, I have better places to go for food and for respectable service. read more

I like the mocha cc top. The drink is very very good. This store serves is very friendly. Everywhere is clear. I pretty like here. Thanks a lot read more

Great variety of food and drinks to choose from. Got really excited because I haven't been here in awhile and they added a lot more to the menu. Ordering was simple and easy, just filling out a form. All the servers were very attentive and friendly. I ordered popcorn chicken over rice and green milk tea and was very satisfied! The food also came out extremely fast. I prefer this location over the one in the Village because it's much more spacious and I never usually have any trouble finding seats. Will definitely continue coming back trying different things! read more

I love this place! They make the best Strawberry Green tea with boba, no other restaurants can make it as delicious as Ten Ren's, I also love their popcorn chicken and their mixed udon, the food here is very delicious, I recommend people visit this place, it's also a good place to hang out! read more

Enjoyed myself at TenRen's over the weekend. A family member brought us here to get us out of our hotel room while we were visiting family in the area. I tried rose tea for the first time. I wish there were some locations in Phoenix! read more

First time here and I have to say what a cool place to chill and enjoy some good food and a cold beer. The bartender Denny was very courteous and gave a lot of recommendations on drinks and food. Always take recommendations from the employees they know what's good and what isn't. I will definitely go back and try out some more of the recommendations I was given. read more

My coworkers love this place. They order takeout here all the time; I always passed. But after trying some of the food from my coworkers, I'm a big fan of their food. The spicey chicken nuggets and chicken wings are amazing! Lunch boxes have never disappointed me, Great fusion food! Highly recommend! read more

This is probably one of the best Ten Ren's out of all the Ten Ren's stores. I prefer this location over the one at the village because parking isnt hard to find here and its also very spacious inside. The vibe here is really chill and the employees who work here are polite. The service here isnt horrible. Food and drinks are fairly simple to order and yummy. The store itself is pretty clean including the restrooms. I definitely recommend people coming to this locations because im forsure coming back. read more

This sentence will sum up this entire review: COME HERE FOR HAPPY HOUR! 50% off all soju, beer, wine? Yes, please! The yogurt sojus were blended well - not too watery like some other places. 8 of my friends came here for a catch up session and the total bill was under $30 for a pitcher of beer and 2 carafes of yogurt soju. For that price point, I would return any day! The ambience was casual, cafe-like. I like that the seating area was open and there generally isn't a huge crowd around. The service was a bit slow, however. On a side note - check out the bathroom if you're seeking a Japanese water bidet experience. It was worth while! read more

The staff is usually nice but today ehhh... y'all messed up the order and I had to wait for y'all to heat up the damn drink for almost 10 minutes -__- the guy making the drinks was literally standing there doing nothing and complaining about not saying I wanted the drink hot. To top it off the drink was still cold :( and there was a drunken argument going on and you guys weren't doing anything. So unprofessional. Won't be coming back here in a long time- will go to the other location nearby read more

Very friendly when they greet you but the service pretty much stops there.. While I write this review I was able to put my order in only after 30 minutes of waiting (literally) and have yet to have an actual server approach me. (a bartender, who was very friendly and honest, took my order) Luckily I brought a book to read. Don't come to this location unless your phone has full battery to play games or have an unopened book you want to finish. Also highly reccommend you bring a water bottle water is apparently a scarce commodity here. read more

Ever here that saying "you get what you pay for" ? Haha In the normal case of no, come out here and you can test that saying. Yea, I'll admit, for a regular sized tea drink with some of the best boba compared to other boba shops, you're gonna be pulling out a $5 bill to pay for it and hopefully leave the rest as tip. True, you can go down the street to some other boba shop and get the same sized drink with boba for less, but I can guarantee you it will not taste the same. (trust. I learned it the hard way. It was just one of those days where I didn't feel like breaking a 20 so I decided to spend $3 for a large drink with boba...at least that's what they told me it was... o.O) ANYWAY...NEVER again. Haha. One of the few things I really enjoy from this establishment is their guarantee of the freshest boba in town. They constantly prepare and cook fresh boba in the back and REPLACE the old batch. Yes, they replace it. They don't just mix it in the with old batch. How do I know this? Well...let's just say they have some of the best free wi-fi around the area and I like to play a lot of DoTA haha. All the kids here are polite and courteous. Always asking if I'm doing ok or if I need anything else. Sometimes I feel bad when I look up and accidentally catch their eyes. They think I need something and rush over to see if they can help me, but I'm just looking up because my hero probably died. HAHA If you don't mind spending an extra buck or 2 for premium quality tea, then come here. Otherwise, you can settle for powdery cheaper stuff at plenty of tea shops around the area. Oh that and old boba. Ok. So ALL the praise is going to the tea and service so far. Now onto the food. If I were to be completely honest like I have been. Then I would rate the food here somewhere around 7ish with some dishes pushing an 8+/9ish outta 10. I HAVE had better food elsewhere, but the food here is NOT bad. Like I said, some of the dishes here aren't served elsewhere in the surrounding area, so it's hard to compare, but in my personal opinion, I like a lot of the dishes here and REALLY like a couple of them. Dammit, I meant to go grab some popeyes today since it's tuesday..but I'm writing this review while using their net...and I hella want some boiled wontons now... T_T gahhhh....Ok that's about it for the review for now. If I rem omg. Ok ONE more thing before I finish and order some food. THEY HAVE BEER HERE!!! Newcastle Kirin and Hef on tap! And the sign says wines and mixed soju coming soon. With 3 56" flatscreens to watch games on...perfect place to kick it with some dranks and watch a game!!! read more

The service here is horrible. Especially during lunch time. The reason the service is so bad here is because of the concept. I placed my order via telephone 15 minutes before arriving to pick up my order and I was staring at it on the counter while I waited for the employee to get off of the telephone. The reason why the service is so bad is because the lady working the register was taking a phone order at the same time. She inputs all of the phone order information into the register and puts off all of the customers that are waiting in line until she's off of the phone. The girl waiting that was in line in front of me left because the lady did not acknowledge her existence and she got tired of waiting. I feel that they could really improve their time and efficiency if she took the telephone orders on a notepad and let another person take care of the customers that are ordering in store. I waited in line for about 10 minutes waiting for her to get off of the phone. If I did not call my order in advance, I would have left because of my limited time for lunch. By the time I got my food and took it back to work to eat it, the noodles were stuck together and my soup was cold. read more
