Honey Lemon Black Tea (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The drink tasted as delicious and refreshing as the ones ordered at other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are inside seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, and street parking is available! Note: There is a single restroom for customers! Photo: Honey Lemon Black Tea

Thai tea, mango shaved ice and mango smoothie with extras.
kimberly C.

Great little place to get a little sweetness after having bcd tofu. We had a mango smoothie - thumbs up from my 12 yr old -got a little extra boba and crystal jelly, Thai tea with boba ( made someone teeth turn a little orange-a little strong to me) and a mango shaved ice. We ordered regular with came in a 16 oz cup- ice on bottom, mango chunks and purée, crystal boba, condensed milk and a small scoop of mango ice cream. We all seemed to enjoy this one. It wasn't too packed at 9:00 p - good seats to enjoy. Best price - it was all less than $15

Not a single fruit bits on the peach strawberry fruit tea.

This is the only location of Boba Time that I went to that does not put fruit bits on their Peach Strawberry fruit tea. In one of the drinks, there was a hair inside the cup. That is disgusting and unacceptable. Just in case you want to order from this place, Please make sure to check your orders before you leave. As for us, we were very disappointed and will not be back in this location.

The drinks we ordered were sweet. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice.

The drinks we ordered were naturally sweet in a good way. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice. $5 for Bottle of Water-- they don't have tap water to spare. $1.25 for Cup of Ice The server was very nice about it but shame on the management.

Pistachio Matcha

Considering this chain has a ton of locations, you'd think it would be more of a slay. I have no idea if all of their locations are like this, but genuinely the best thing about this place was that it's open later than the boba shops around the area. We quite literally had no choice but to come here, and I'm starting to think that opening late compared to competition is the only way they get business. We got (rating): Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (3/5), Strawberry Matcha with Boba (1.70/5), House Milk Tea, Peach Strawberry Tea with Boba (2.5/5), Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (2/5), Pistachio Matcha Milk Tea with Boba (1.50/5) I was so excited to try my pistachio matcha tea because I've never seen that combination be done in any store before. When I tell you I felt INSTANT sadness after that very first sip, I am emphasizing the INSTANT part. The drink itself was so watery it was like matcha flavored water, and the boba only served to make the drink worse by adding this slimy, soft lump of goo to your every sip. Across the board, the drinks were watery. The fruit in the fruit teas didn't shine through and the jasmine in the jasmine milk tea wasn't strong enough. Just super disappointing all around.

this latte didn't taste like coffee at all, and wasn't even hot and steamed properly.

The staff doesn't seem to know how to do the job properly. I ordered a coffee, but they didn't even know how to make it, which was quite surprising. The boba also seemed old. Please make sure to provide proper training, or hire someone who is more experienced.

No complaints I always get a tasty drink out of here every time. It's a reliable spot for good boba drinks, you know what you're pretty much getting out of each and every location. This location stays open pretty late so any late night boba cravings for me this is where I'm most likely going to.

Lavender Milk Tea
Lele Y.

3.5 stars rounding down Visited out of convenience since it's open until 11pm and in the same plaza with bunch of eateries~ Hangari kalguksu, Sun Nong Dan Lavender Milk Tea- ok but not amazing, but other drinks could be better so might try something else next time No sugar/ ice adjustments Staff was nice

a table and chairs in a coffee shop
Jonathan D.

Boba good. Music good. Deserts good. Happy to spend money here . Usually pretty quick, spacious lobby, cute lights outside. Macarons are super cute addition. Crew is always pleasant

Just like any other Boba time, great boba place. Sometimes it gets too busy here and the drinks may take quite some time, but quality is consistent. Good place to go after eating from the restaurants in the plaza. All the drinks are good, would recommend just the regular milk tea if you aren't feeling too adventurous. I got a strawberry flavored drink and it was good. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a good spot for boba.

They constantly mess up the order. i.e. missing toppings Double check your order before you leave the store.

Clay pots and floral arrangements are tucked throughout the space, instantly softening the whole atmosphere and creating such an aesthetic vibe. I ordered four new drinks all at once today, and I was absolutely blown away! First, the presentation is gorgeous; second, the taste is incredible; third, the creativity gets a full 10/10!

The pairing of oat milk and matcha is surprisingly wonderful. Beetroot Cloud Coconut OMG, the cloud foam on top is so smooth and creamy! I completely fell in love with this layer from the very first sip and couldn't help but finish all the cloud foam first, haha. Drinking further down to the beetroot portion, it's so fresh and pairs amazingly well with the rich milkiness. Absolute perfection! Da Hong Pao Tea-puccino Fresh Milk The most classic pairing, and so great for cutting through any richness. You get the crisp aroma of Da Hong Pao right from the first sip, bringing out a peaceful, elegant, and serene Zen-like vibe~ Genmaicha Espresso Matcha The toasted brown rice on top is magic--it has such a rich, nutty roasted aroma and stays super crunchy! The matcha underneath is rich and velvety; the subtle bitterness of the tea spreads instantly before quickly turning into a long-lasting, gentle sweetness. The depth of flavor is unbeatable~ Go check it out, besties! I can't wait to see your votes on which one is your absolute favorite!

The service was so fast and quick. There was two girls when I went and they answered all my questions with friendly service . It's very chill and relaxing there. I definitely recommend going!!!! Strawberry Milk - Best best best strawberry boba drink I've ever had. - I normally don't like strawberries bc they might be sour or mushy and not in the good way but this was sweet and fresh!! I've never been disappointed with their drinks. -it does come with a clear boba and its unique. most places in LA do not have it and it pairs nicely with the strawberry milk! Mango Milk Tea -Subtle flavors of sweet sweet mango -refreshing and creamy -recommend if you love mango sticky rice hehe or mango desserts Oolong Milk Tea w/ honey boba and crème brûlée - fragrant and properly brewed. Most places over steep or understeep oolong. It can be bitter or watery but they did it right. The oolong was one of the best I've ever had. - I'm glad they had crème brûlée and honey boba as an option for topping. I love love love crème brûlée and most places don't offer it. The honey boba is also so great if you don't want that sugary brown sugar boba (there is still good tho but I will always prefer honey boba !!!) Fruit tea -my friend got this one and she was delighted -aloe Vera was an option for topping and yummy! -refreshing choice if you don't want dairy :) I didn't take any pictures unfortunately bc it was so good we finished it all instantly :D

The drink was okay, but denying a paying customer access to the restroom was unacceptable. The…read morerestroom was clearly visible in the customer area and was not employee-only. When I asked to use it, I was told it required a key and that nobody had one. Hard to believe these employees work all day without a bathroom! If you provide a customer restroom, management should ensure employees can actually unlock it during business hours. RESPONSE TO THE OWNER: Your reply explains who maintains the restroom, but it doesn't address why I was denied access. The shared plaza restrooms are directly outside Sunright's rear glass door clearly visible and only a step away. Your employee told me the restroom required a key and that nobody had one. Obviously, Sunright's employees must use a restroom somewhere during their shifts, so who provides them access? Saying plaza management maintains the restrooms doesn't explain why nobody working at Sunright supposedly had a key or why it couldn't be provided to a paying customer. That feels like a dodge rather than an explanation.

With delicious boba and such attention to detail, you can't deny that there's a reason this place has remained open throughout the years. The drinks really do speak for themselves, making it a great testament to the quality they continuously serve. Granted; it is a small Korean owned business so everything they do is with pride and care! I love coming here on a hot summer day/night because the boba is very chewy and delicious! I usually get the passion fruit slush, I am very picky with sweetness and the texture of the slush... at boba time I find it annoying to make modifications to my liking. However, at I love boba, the passion fruit slush (with boba) is made perfectly that there is no need to adjust the sweetness level or the thickness of the slush! When I take my first sip of my cold slush on a hot summer day, it automatically makes me feel refreshed! The taste of the passion fruit slush is just right! It's amazing, fresh, tangy, crisp and overall refreshing! I like to come here and avoid the big crowds, it's always great to find that hole in the wall dessert spot and this is it! Major bonus points because there is plenty of parking throughout the day and night! I would definitely recommend going here for the perfect slush! But BEWARE you might become addicted like me! Haha!
