I've also tired the Creme Brulee Milk Tea, and the Thai milk tea. The Creme Brulee Milk Tea is really good I recommend it everyone, the Thai milk tea was good but nothing special. I think their speciality drinks are the way to go. The girls working there are always so nice, they even let us have our lunch there once it was a good place to eat and cool off on a hot day with our ice cold teas. I'm happy to have this place so close to home. Ziggy liked hanging out here too!

I decided to drove here to try the boba here. To my surprise, the boba tasted sour and weird. I…read moretold the staff and she said, it was okay. I thought; okay maybe it's me. Before walking back to my car, I decided, nope. I paid for this. It tasted bad. So I walked back in there and asked if they can just replace my drink. Same drink without boba. They were sweet enough to replaced it and tossed away the previous one. They offered me a new batch of boba, I refused because, nope, can't get rid of the first sour boba i ever had. Better stick with just milk tea with no boba. Disappointed. Won't go back. But the girls were very sweet. Thanks

Came during a weekend afternoon. They had a small parking lot shared by other stores in the plaza…read more Place was pretty empty when we arrived. They were having a promotion for the members where some of their drinks were buy one get one half off. We got the Uji Matcha Boba MIlkTea or 宇治抹茶黑式. We upgraded the drinks to large size for 75 cents each. Got 50% sweetness. Felt the sweetness level was alright. The bobas were too sweet. Would asked to not put bobas next time. Liked that they have an outdoor seating area. But there were a lot of people smoking outside. The indoors were really cold. So be sure bring a jacket. Decor was really nice.

Nothing bad if low customer but I can see it being a headache if there a long line. Above average and worth it if no line.

I had an absolutely terrible experience here and I'm really upset about the poor service. A staff…read moremember whose last name or first name is Qing had an extremely bad attitude from start to end. Every time I tried to ask questions and communicate about related matters, this staff member was cold, perfunctory and obviously impatient. They never treated customers with basic courtesy, answered my inquiries casually and even spoke in an unfriendly tone. I felt no respect at all during the communication. It is really disappointing to spend money but get such unpleasant treatment. This kind of service manner is far from qualified. I will never come here again, and I won't recommend this shop to anyone. It is necessary for the management to strengthen service training and urge employees to treat customers politely and sincerely.

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

There's no shortage of boba spots in the SGV, but Chicha San Chen is one of the better ones to me…read more It is a bit pricey and there can be a long line, but you can avoid that by ordering online. They use this tea espresso type machine that I don't really see anywhere else, and it gives the drinks a strong, clean tea flavor which I like. Their boba is also consistently good, nice and chewy every time. It's a brand from Taiwan so you know they take their tea seriously. They also give you a cute carrier sling for your drinks which is a nice touch. They've been expanding with more locations like Arcadia/Alahambra, so they're definitely doing something right. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd say it's worth checking out.

I have been here many times it's a hit or miss when it comes to the drinks.. sometimes they're very watered down other times too much ice but this time when I'm visited my drinks came out perfectly the way I wanted it. I liked that the cashier was very kind. She was willing to work with the two flavors I wanted to mix rather than making me buy two different drinks so five star for that. I didn't get her name but if she's reading this, she had a great day!

I usually find parking in front the business or nearby inside the plaza parking area

I also came back a few times because of their promotional discounts but mostly left unsatisfied. The drinks are inconsistent in taste and sugar levels. I feel that I have only gotten a tea once that I enjoyed but all the other times I felt I could make better tea at home. They do have a lot of different teas to try so I may give this spot another chance as my friends always insist that I go back. The place has a decent amount of seating to hang out but for some reason there is a weird odor inside. The place looks clean and the service is friendly.

It tasted non artificial and I got 50% and it was still decently sweet. Creamy and not too overpowering as well.

The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.
