Their Brown Sugar Boba Milk tea was delicious it had great brown sugar flavor and the boba and pudding was chewy and tasty.
Randomly stumbled upon this tea house since I ate at a restaurant nearby. Really enjoyed the drinks here and the flavors were pretty good. They had a BOGO deal for pumpkin pie ice tea and I ended up getting that as well as another drink. the BOGO deal was like $4.50 for two which is really good especially since the drink was great. The chocolate swirl milk tea was pretty refreshing as well. We had all the drinks at 50% sugar and it was just right.
Such a lovely establishment with nice plants that gave me good energy coming in. They have dairy free options! Even with that I still opted for an oolong tea, no sweetener or milks. The tea was really strong and had good flavor. I will come back to try some of the other drinks. A regular size looks like a gallon it's huge! The boys got milk tea with boba they seemed to like it just fine. Come get your milk tea with strawberry popping boba or a durian shake they both looked great!
Great tea spot and great prices!! The rose green milk tea is delicious. Paid $11 for 2 large drinks which is a great deal. Will def come back here
Service was awesome! Drinks are reasonably priced and great portions. Def need to come back. Also try the ROSE GREEN TEA WITH LYCHEE JELLY Drinks were so good I gave my last crazy puff to a man in need. Aura: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10
This place is super nice, with a wide variety of options for drinks and they even have a caffeine-free option, which I tried (called Sugar Stripes Milk). It tasted almost like milk boba, minus the caffeine spike afterwards. They also have fruit smoothies and all sorts of seasonal drinks. Great place. Highly recommended.
I love the smell of boba being made whenever I enter the shop. It's a small comfy shop with cute plants around. Huge cups. Very friendly. Their boba tastes great. They actually have flavor and taste like they've been cooked with brown sugar, not bland at all. Ono Tea House is my favorite!! :^D I've been getting boba here about once a month for about a year now. I've had their thai milk tea, house milk tea, honeydew green milk tea, guava yogurt, lychee yogurt, strawberry yogurt, and peach yogurt. All yummy! I have ordered in-store and over the phone for pickup. Never had a bad experience so far. :^D (update with pictures and more info)
Wow! A friend recommend I try this place. I really like that their Thai tea is only mixed with tea and condensed milk. Nothing extra. That perfect! The price is faur. $5 for a large! It was so good on a hot day. I'm definitely coming back. Keep up the good work.
Lately I been wanting to try new tea places and came across this place since I was passing by on Garvey. Employees wore masks and there were plastic clear shields at the counters for cashier and pickup which was good to protect customers and employees especially during pandemic. Not a lot of tea places nowadays serve almond milk tea but I'm surprised this place does and surprisingly it satisfied my almond milk tea craving! They have regular size and large size cups, and even a regular size is good enough for me. I got a regular size almond milk tea ($4.50) + added crystal boba topping ($0.75) = $5.25 total for the drink. I also got a brown sugar striped milk drink ($5.65) that came with 2 toppings. I chose pudding and grass jelly. Both drinks were good but it was kind of powdery which irritated the throat so I wish it was dissolved more. Other than that, I would come back again if I'm in the area.

I had a pleasant experience at Ono Tea House (El Monte). I ordered the Honey Calamansi ($5.75 - Large - 32oz) with Crystal Boba (additional 75 cents). It's clean, fresh, and refreshing. As I sipped, I felt happy. I arrived at Ono Tea House (El Monte) on Tuesday (around 11:18AM). Parking felt cramped because the lot is a strip. These businesses share about 24 parking spots. Fortunately, I found a spot. Staff is very welcoming, friendly, and hardworking. Staff maintained a pleasant smile, and Staff happily answered my questions. My order took two minutes and 11 seconds. Good time! There's no self-service kiosk; customers must order at counter. However, I disliked how the full menu is not visible from the counter. Customers must walk away to find the hanging menu; customers must memorize their order; and customers need to walk back to the counter to say the order. The process felt inconvenient and intimidating, and a counter menu would have helped immensely. Also, during my visit, Staff mentioned "Drink's Size" and "Topping Preference," but Staff did not mention "Sweetness Level" and "Ice Level." I only realized these options could be modified after re-checking the full menu. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Honey Calamansi ($5.75 - Large - 32oz) with Crystal Boba (additional 75 cents). It's HUGE! The drink is sugary, lightly tart, and fresh. To my immense surprise, it's very thirst-quenching and tasty! Concerning the Crystal Boba, the texture resembled jellies. This topping had a soft sweetness, but they were not bouncy. Rather, the Crystal Boba had a soft, playful pop. All in all, the drink is delicious. Regarding ambiance, Ono Tea House (El Monte) is very comfortable. It's so clean that everything sparkled!! The floors, windows, and tables are well-maintained. I was very impressed with the potted plants because they had no dust; rather, they glowed a healthy, lush green. I also enjoyed the cheerful, upbeat Christmas music. This location does not have a restroom; there's two bottles of hand sanitizer for customers. Also, there's only one electrical outlet (the Christmas Tree uses this). In addition, the location only has four tables. Despite this, Ono Tea House (El Monte) feels well-maintained; it's very obvious that the owners care. I also appreciated how waves of locals kept entering to order. This hidden spot is still very popular! Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Ono Tea House (El Monte). This small business has heart, and it shows. If curious, I recommend. 4.8 out of 5 read more
El Monte doesn't have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice. The tea itself is just okay -- not super strong -- and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don't like them too sweet. Overall, it's not a spot I'd go out of my way for, but if you're in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job. read more

We love this place! Staff are friendly and knowledgable about the drinks. Prices are reasonable for the size. A lot of options to choose from! And the place is very clean and i love that they have a lot plants! It makes it very welcoming. read more
I got the oolong milk tea which seemed to be a popular item based on their Top 10 Drinks list, but I was disappointed. There was a lack of an oolong taste in the drink. It was so watered down that there was barely even an oolong aftertaste. They also put a lot of ice even though I asked for less ice. It also wasn't sweet despite being 75% sugar! Not what I was expecting AT ALL. I couldn't even finish the drink and ended up throwing it away. My family seemed to really enjoy the taro milk tea though! Bummer to give this shop 2 stars since their customer service was so friendly. NOTE: They currently do not do a taro topping anymore. They do have taro pudding though. read more

Amazing flavor amazing service! Highly recommend this place! It's local, and love supporting small businesses! read more
This was place made me go ooohh nooooo :( We got the oolong milk tea and almond milk tea with boba and it was so dissapointing! Zero sweetness in it at all and was such a huge dissapointment on our hour drive home. We chose this place because we prefer the chubby cups. There was zero sweetness in our drinks besides from the boba. Not sure if this is how all the drinks are or if they forgot to add sweetener when making the drinks Make sure to try your drinks before leaving like we did. But I'm not too sure if they have a customer satisfaction policy :/ Quite dissapointed we chose this place as our boba place for our LA trip from the IE. read more

New boba place! When you order Sugar stripe milk, you can choose 2 toppings; I got grass jelly and pudding and it was good. Tip: If you like taking pictures of your drink, make sure to take a picture right away because the stripes will disappear while driving home. I also ordered Fresh milk Oolong tea and added boba. If you didn't know already, the difference between Fresh milk oolong tea and Oolong Milk tea is that FMOT has whole milk, while OMT is non-dairy. I love milk so I got FMOT. Without adjusting the sweetness, it was already the perfect sweetness (not too sweet). The amount of boba was perfect and the texture and size was perfect. The size of the boba was like a medium size. When I got the drink, boba was warm in contrast to the cool drink. The proportion of all the ingredients of each drink was well thought out. I would definitely come back for more drinks! read more
In SGV bubble tea houses are everywhere. Ono Tea House is a newly opened boba tea in El Monte. They're located in a sketchy tiny plaza on the corner of Santa Anita and Garvey aves. It's a simple and small tea house but they offer a wide variety of milk teas, smoothies, fruit and yogurt drinks. We ordered a large Avocado smoothie with boba pearl and Honey calamansi juice (special). They have a regular and large (.75+) size. Surprisingly, both drink were good. Service was moderately fast. Staff was attentive, nice, followed health protocol. Prices were very competitive and fair. Parking is free and limited but had no difficulty finding a spot. Overall, we had a good boba tea and juice and good service. We recommend this tea house. read more

If you're looking for a local boba spot in El Monte then look no further. I've always drove past this place on the way to get food nearby and decided to give it a try. I truly enjoy the fact that they offered plant based milk alternatives in addition to their regular ones. I ordered the House Milk Tea with the almond milk base and it tasted solid. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Ordered a green tea w/popping pearls and a taro milk tea w/ pudding. These weren't the best teas I've had. Bland in flavor, and I didn't like the toppings much either. The peach green tea looked foggy. Nice staff though. Cute little shop. read more

New boba place that opened up in south El Monte! Honestly I came by only because they were running a promo of buy one get one free. Parking: Kind of hard to turn in if you're coming from the West side. The lot is also small. It's located on the corner of Santa Anita and Garvey. Matcha coffee latte: It's not bad, I'd probably order it again. The drink was perfect without sugar adjustments. At first you taste the slight bitterness of matcha and then it finishes with the coffee. The drink's also pretty heavy. One thing I didn't like about it was the clumps of matcha in there. They probably needed to stir it a bit more before mixing it in. Mango refresher: total pass on this drink. It was super syrupy. Artificial stuff. It was sorta refreshing but it needs like half sugar or less. I'd probably return to try their fresh fruit drinks and milk teas. read more

I ordered a brown sugar stripe with milk. The price is like $6. The drink is not good. Nothing special about this place. The boba is not soft at all. The menu is written in Chinese letters with English next to it. I asked the front desk if she speaks Chinese. She said no. I am curious. If they don't know anything about Chinese why did they put it on the menu? Is it a fake Asian tea house? Maybe it's a strategic reason to let customers think it's an Asian teahouse but it's not. I gave them two stars b/c she did greet me without a smile like I owed her money and the drink was not good. read more
