Boba milk tea special
Peter D.

Quickly is the definition of boba nostalgia for me. Used to come here more when it first opened, but I occasionally come here to try if their boba quality has gone down. The answer? Mostly not. Just their prices went up. Quickly is the definition of a no frills boba shop with a fast service and very quaint interior seating. I never run to come back, and I usually don't recommend this shop to others, but this is a legacy boba shop in the temple city area.

Small almond slush on left and large boba milk tea special on right
Grace C.

Reminds me of the boba shops of my childhood! We stopped by for some good ol' almond slush and their boba milk tea special. On our first visit, we got the boba milk tea special, in a large size at 25% sweet and no ice ($4.20!! what a steal!) and a small almond slush at 50% sweet and no toppings ($3.95). It was a hot day and both drinks were refreshingly good. The next visit, I got the boba milk tea special again, but this time in a medium size with less ice and 25% sweet ($3.45, again a steal at that price!). We also ordered more food and snacks to try, namely the mild fried combo ($7.99), mild popcorn chicken ($8), and the minced beef egg rice for $11 (not to be confused with the $7.99 special one). I liked the fried combo (came with at least 3-4 different items), popcorn chicken, and the rice. BF thought the popcorn chicken was sufficient, but preferred the chicken from other locations. For a one stop shop of drinks, snacks, and actual food food, Quickly is a great option with plenty of seating inside. So glad it's around for reasonably priced eats and some childhood nostalgia! Quickly shares a parking lot with several other businesses in the plaza. Close parking may be hard, but there's a good amount if you don't mind a little walking and there's also street parking if need be.

I accidentally ate some but it had minced pork on top of the rice! And way more meat

I got a popcorn chicken rice and was surprised at how cheap it was for the amount that you get. For $8.99..$9.87 after tax it's still under ten bucks for a filling meal. The drinks are decent too. It came out fairly quick. If you're looking for a deliciously cheap meal then this is your spot!

RIP Quickly

Quickly means nostalgia and that also means nostalgia for how much boba used to cost. They somehow manage to keep things reasonable even when it seems boba is somehow competing for how expensive they can get. As of today, a medium boba here will still come under $5. Is it the finest boba using the most premium of teas? No. But did you still crave an almond slush when it seems like no one makes it anymore? Then come on over to Quickly! My only criticism is their popcorn chicken is made with what seems to be white meat so it is pretty dry (I ate one piece like jerky). I saw a manager reply below that you can ask for it less crispy and more juicy but I've had other popcorn chicken that is both crispy and juicy, I don't think you should have to make that trade off and especially at $9. You get a lot of it though. Otherwise, I love Quickly for what it is!

While in the area, we decided to stop by this Quickly location. The exterior had a more modern look compared to other Quickly spots we've visited, and the inside was clean and well-maintained. We ordered tea beverages along with popcorn chicken topped with lots of spicy powder. They were generous enough to include extra chili powder on the side, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, they were running low on boba when we arrived, so our drinks had to split what was left. To top it off, we were approached and told the shop would be closing in 10 minutes, which made us feel a bit rushed and like we were being kicked out. Strangely, as we were leaving, a large group walked in and wasn't given the same heads-up. That part left a weird impression.

Menu
George H.

Menu has wide selection of food and drinks with decent prices, almost too many to list. Food tends to be on salty side. Boba and slush drinks are great. Service is over the counter and there is no restroom available for customers. This is the only Quickly restaurant I know of that doesn't have a restroom. One table had crumbs leftovers on top of it, but other than that clean and kind of outdated.

Amazing! Fantastic! Stupendous! Magnanimous! Bloody hell good! Blimey!…read more Let's begin this cat review...meow. 3CAT is a boba tea shop in Arcadia at Santa Anita mall. It is one of the most local popular tea shops in the valley. They gave a welcoming vibe and a convenient kiosk for faster ordering. I came late afternoon to grab some refreshing tea. I was in the mood for a new a new boba tea house so I said why not 3CAT. Atmosphere was nice and seems very popular with locals. They have limited seats both indoor and outdoor. I had an Avomango smoothie. It was one of the best boba smoothie I had in a while. They can rival Cha Redefine with the type of boba tea they serve. Service was spot on. Staff were very industrious and competent. Prices were reasonable that match the quality. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their refreshing smoothie. I highly recommend.

It's pretty small inside but there are a couple of tables if you wanted to study, work, or hangout for a bit. I got the mochi mango drink with 75% sweetness. It was soooo creamy!! I really enjoy the fresh mangos that are on the bottom. Still had a good amount of sweetness at 75%. Drink came out quickly, but it was also not too busy. Probably not an everyday type of drink for me, but a great dessert :)

I've been here so much lately because it's just THAT good. I love the creamy pineapple tart and the…read morepineapple milk tea. The pineapple tart is more like a dessert drink (I don't think it has caffeine), and it's probably one of my top 3 favorite drinks. It tastes like a pineapple milkshake without being blended. I've also tried the mango tart, which is very tasty as well. I've been here a few times already and service is usually pretty helpful and friendly. Regarding ambiance, this place is mostly for to-go drinks. Yes, there is a little bit of seating, but not enough to be a hangout spot. Happy to have such a great tea shop as an option in Arcadia, especially when I need a sweet and creamy treat!

The first time I had ChiCha San Chen was at the San Gabriel location, when it was still new. I…read morewaited a very long time in line for a peach drink, and it was genuinely one of the best boba drinks I've had. I hadn't gone back since because I'm never in San Gabriel, but when I heard that Chicha San Chen was opening in Arcadia, I was super excited, since I live near the new Arcadia location. Since ChiCha had a stellar reputation for their teas and quality of drinks, and since I'd had such a delicious drink at the San Gabriel location, even when they were absolutely packed and SWAMPED, I assumed Arcadia would maintain the same quality. Unfortunately, I was sorely and utterly mistaken to think that. I first visited Chicha San Chen in Arcadia on Halloween 2025, and it wasn't super busy despite it being a brand new location. That should have been my first warning sign, that there were many better boba spots to spend my hard-earned money on. I can think of at least eight different boba spots off the top of my head within a 1-mile radius of ChiCha, where I can be guaranteed a drink that at least tastes like tea. Depressingly, I had the misfortune of spending my Halloween and my cash on a dong ding oolong tea at ChiCha instead. The Ding ding oolong tea, despite being one of the best sellers at the time, was very watered down. Oolong tea is a very strong and fragrant brew, especially when you choose lower sugar and ice levels like I do, but somehow ChiCha managed to mess it up. It wasn't just me as well, my friend also ordered the Ding dong oolong tea without cream, and he agreed that it was watered down. Adding to the experience was the fact that there was absolutely nowhere to sit, despite the location being pretty empty besides people picking up their drinks and leaving. After that absolutely amazing first impression of Arcadia's ChiCha San Chen, I have avoided this location like the plague! Sadly, I received a bubble milk tea as a gift this Friday. Someone had asked me what I'd wanted from another nearby boba shop, but unbeknownst to me, had changed their mind and gone to ChiCha. I spotted the drink on my desk, saw the ChiCha packaging, and prayed against reality that they had gone to a location besides the Arcadia one, especially since the presumably TEA drink looked suspiciously WHITE. Still, I held out hope that maybe, the sad state of my past oolong tea had been an unfortunate fluke; perhaps I'd come on an off-day, and maybe they'd improved since then. Alas, my spirit of good faith was for naught. I should have know from the color, or lack thereof, of the drink. Despite being a bubble milk TEA, presumably using black tea like most traditional milk teas do, the drink is BARELY OFF-WHITE. However, don't let the vague beige-ness fool you. That beige is not from tea; it's from the brown sugar syrup that's mixed with the boba. The drink looks like those brown sugar boba MILKS that used to be so very popular in the mid-2010s, and boy, does it sure taste like it. I was looking forward to some caffeine, but at that point I wasn't even sure if they put any tea in the drink. It was watered down, I tasted almost no tea, and somehow it was worse than the Halloween oolong tea. It's funny because I could literally tell which location the person who gave me the drink went to just based on the taste, or should I say, the lack of taste, of the bubble milk tea. I asked them later to confirm that yes, they had gone to the Arcadia location. I LOVE milk tea, but I really don't like just milk, so I ended up throwing the drink away after I was out of sight of the person who gave me the drink. I only drank about a quarter of the drink. Honestly, it was genuinely impressive how a renowned boba tea chain can't figure out how to make a basic bubble milk tea properly where you can actually taste the tea. However, I will give them props for one thing -- the boba itself, as in the actual tapioca pearls, were perfect. I understand ChiCha is known for their fruit drinks, so I wonder if that's why I don't see more reviews saying the tea is watered down at this location -- perhaps people got fruit teas and those fruit teas were good. Which begs the question: if your location can only (presumably) make fruit teas decently, then why bother having any milk teas in the menu? Boba drinks are expensive, it really sucks to pay so much for a drink, expect an at least DECENT milk tea, and getting watered-down, subpar disappointment instead. What a shame; this location seems to be the only ChiCha location that's like this. I will not be going back, why bother coming here when I can go to literally any of the other million boba shops around the SGV for a basic decent milk tea??

And probably the busiest store in the already crazy busy plaza. I see why the line goes out the door. Flavor was excellent. Well balanced. Nothing overpowering. Staff were polite, well dressed, and friendly despite the crowd. Ordering was easy. Ingredients measured which tells me they're consistent. Super consistent. I'm sure others rave about the drink sleeve with the trusty rope handle. Which is surprisingly sturdy. I mean, don't go swinging around your highly crafted drink you paid good money for. But you could. Great vibe, limited seating. Shared plaza bathroom that you have to request a key. And parking is nuts. Bring a friend and drop them off to get in this line while you park. Pro tip. Enjoy and cheers.
