I've wanted to try this boba shop since they opened since they have so many locations overseas but waited until the crowds died down. Came by on Fourth of July and there were a few people resting and a couple customers arriving. There's seating to fit a few small groups and a soccer themed standing area streaming the world cup. Very bright and warm decor, I think keeping the pink from the previous boba shop that was here was a nice choice. And the panda theme is adorable! There are two self order kiosks as well as a register so ordering is quick. My drink was ready by the time I used the restroom, so very good turnaround. Just a heads up, when I was there the sign was covered with tarp so just head left of Yonny's fish. Went with a medium sized oolong milk tea with soybean cheese foam, regular ice, 70% sugar as recommended, and added taro balls as a topping. I was planning to order brown sugar boba but the kiosk only let me choose from three options, the taro balls, jelly, and something else. TV screens were showing seasonal specials instead of regular menu so couldn't confirm topping availability. Online it seems you can order boba pearls so will have to come back for those! Anywho, oolong is by far my favorite milk tea so when I saw it as a top seller my decision was made. I was intrigued by the idea of the soybean foam that comes with it - I've had cheese foam but never with soybean. The drink was genuinely delicious. The soybean cheese foam provided nuttiness, saltiness, and creaminess that went great with the earthy oolong flavor. Tea isn't overpowering but if you're like me and like your tea on the strong side you will be pleased! Was for me the right amount of sweetness at 70%, but you could go a step lower if you don't care for sweets. The taro balls were done perfectly. If you like the ones from Meet Fresh, these are right up there. Altogether came out to be $7.98 so pricey considering the size (an inch taller than a soda can) but for technically two toppings not unheard of in this time. Was bracing myself to be disappointed since chains can be hit or miss but honestly have no complaints! Drink delivered. They did give me panda themed pins as thanks for written feedback (have updated this review at time of reading to be much more thorough, but same positive sentiments echoed) but even without that having occurred would recommend them to any boba fan to try. Great addition to the stiff Irvine competition. read more

We came shortly after opening to try the peach drinks of Cheese Peach Plum and Peach Oolong Fresh Milk Tea being offered and get the exclusive World Cup pink magnet for $1.99. There were 2 kiosks to order at. Daughter also ordered a watermelon tea with jelly and a peach plum jasmine tea with jelly. Process was very smooth. Payment was taken and we waited for our drinks. We admired the World Cup decorations. Husband was drawn to the World Cup drink sleeves and liked looking at the pins from all over the world where there is a TeaByDo. There were a few other customers waiting and a couple more customers came in to order. Our number came up on the board and was also announced when order was ready. Drinks were placed in cup holders with World Cup drink sleeves in World Cup bags with straws. Our magnet was also in the bag. There was a lot of plum and peach chunks in the smoothie and they had a good crunch. I liked waiting for the ice to melt which didn't take too long as it was in the 70s. Daughter thought her drink was okay. She liked the grape smoothie that was available in the spring more. read more

This review is based on the 2 drinks that I've tried: mango pomelo sago and avocado kale mango smoothie (with 50% sweet). Both were very enjoyable but my favorite was the avocado kale mango smoothie. It was creamy yet refreshing; you don't taste much of the kale and it made me feel good while enjoying a sweet treat. It was quite busy but the ordering and waiting process were organized and drinks came out quickly. I did not have any interaction with the staff as it was a kiosk order. read more

Ok price for the size. OK taste. Downside is Boba is very hard to drink. They are not the typical black round ones and heavy, and all stuck together as a giant mochi at the bottom of the cup. Yes, you are drinking Boba tea but dont expect you can finish the Boba while drinking the tea. I bet about 80 percent of Boba will be left at the bottom of the cup after you finish the drink part. I like the location of this shop but prob not gonna go again for Boba tea. read more

We came here on a weekend afternoon, and luckily there was no line. After ordering our drinks from the kiosk, our drinks actually came out pretty quickly (probably less than 10 minutes). Mango pomelo sago (70% sweetness, which is the recommended level): It was SO sweet! The drink was so thick and heavy which made it unenjoyable. We've definitely had better versions of this drink elsewhere. Watermelon tea with jelly (70% sweet): Tasted like straight up water. It was the blandest, least sweet watermelon I've ever had, lol. I'm glad there wasn't a long line when we visited, because these drinks were not worth waiting for at all. Parking is also tough because of the small, crowded lot. There are other better boba places in OC. read more

Just picked these two drinks like 5 min ago. Off first sip, i knew i was gonna come back! They were both so good, good in a way where it isn't too sweet! Which is why i love going to chinese runned boba/tea shops. They definitely remind me of molly tea and auntea jennys. The two drinks i ordered were: - grape jasmine tea smoothie with jelly (this was bomb! 8.5/10) - oolong milk tea with soybean cheese foam (this was one of their most popular drinks, 8/10, runs on the undersweet side so do 100% sugar if you like it more on the sweet side) Only rating this a 4/5 simply because this is my first time here and haven't tried the other drinks just yet!

I went for their BOGO deal, and parking was atrocious. The line was out the door, but it moved surprisingly fast. If you've ever experienced the horror of waiting at Auntea Jenny, I expected this place to be the same, but it was much better. Ordering took about 10 minutes and the drink was ready in 16 minutes. The process was very efficient. I tried the jasmine milk tea and got it 50% sweetness which was recommended. It was not sweet at all and I wish I got it at 70%. The tea itself was very light and refreshing. The mango pomelo was good but I prefer auntea jenny's. I don't like chewing my drink and my friend found a mango skin in hers. They have limited seating but I like that they close late. read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I got Oolong Milk Tea with Soybean Cheese Foam, 30% sugar. This drink is solid in my opinion, with a smooth mouthfeel and nice oolong flavor that isn't too floral. It's topped with a soybean cheese foam that adds a pleasant and slightly salty creaminess. Note that there is peanut powder dusted on top. My main gripes are that I couldn't get a black milk tea and that this drink was really expensive, probably because the soybean cheese foam is included by default. Other drinks: 0.5/1. Because I went during their grand opening, there was a limited menu available, and none of the options included black tea. The BOGO offer requires you to order two of the same drink, although you can vary the sugar levels between drinks. This is one of those shops that gives you a fancy bag for your drinks, which is technically more premium but in my opinion is pretty wasteful. Ambiance: 1/1. Pretty spacious for a boba shop, with plenty of space to wait for drinks, as well as some small tables and chairs for seating. FYI that the plaza has an underground parking garage with plentiful free parking. Service: 1/1. I went during the grand opening, so there was a bit of a line and I had to place my order at the counter with a worker. However, drinks came out SUPER fast, especially considering the volume of orders. Total: 4/5 read more

Came here for their grand opening, they have milk tea flavors that are interesting. It's buy one get one so I'm planning to get gardenia milk tea. Service is friendly and cool ambiance. Since it's their opening they can't adjust ice and still can't do hot drinks yet. So I'm hopeful that I can get the hot version at some point. Promising but coming on their opening and buy one get one free has it's limitation. You get the same drink, so 2 of the same, which kinda defeats the purpose as I can't try other drinks. read more

Glad to see TeaByDo open in OC. I went during the grand opening and was surprised there wasn't a huge line. Tried the gardenia milk tea at 50% sweetness - super floral and light, kind of like a jasmine milk tea. Also sampled the mango pomelo sago, which had sweet, fresh mango. Drinks lean "not too sweet," which I appreciate since you can actually taste the tea and fruit. The panda mascot is adorable, and the store is bright and clean. Parking can be a little tricky (same plaza as Oishi Shabu Shabu), but there's underground parking available. Worth checking out if you like floral or fruit-forward boba without a sugar overload. read more

Tea By Do had replaced Naricha, one of my go-tos for drinks. I decided to try this place out, seeing as they're running a 15% off promotion for their large drinks. The cashier took my order pretty quickly. I ordered a large signature taro ball milk tea, and they recommend it at 50% sweetness. Overall, this drink was pretty good! The taro balls had a nice earthy but sweet taste, and the texture was similar to boba, but chewier and compact. The tea wasn't super overpowering and lets the taro shine through. Inside is clean and reminds me of Heytea, except with more earth tones, and it seems like a chill place to hang out with friends. They were playing k-pop music pretty loudly, and there aren't too many outlets to charge laptops for studying. Still, I'm glad that there are more options for boba near UCI. I would go here again once their full menu is out. read more

Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way

On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

I initially tried it with the stevia but it was too sweet, because it's already sweet from the strawberry. I asked for an adjustment, this time they did not sweeten at all, but it was still very artificial tasting and too sweet for my liking. PARKING: Good amount of parking in the plaza. SERVICE: super fast - I think the drink was pre-made to be honest. PRICE: decently priced these days but especially good during this promo. Overall, I'm sad to say that I won't be coming back. Even with a price this good, I'd rather pay a bit more for the many boba spots in Irvine.

The Irvine location itself is remarkably unpretentious: cracked, slightly sticky-looking concrete floors, deafening music that sounded approximately 15 years past its cultural sell-by date, and a youthful crowd containing several people whose legs appeared skinnier than my fingers. I felt less like a customer and more like an archaeological specimen temporarily admitted for observation. Being the radical nonconformist that I am, I came to a mango dessert shop and ordered the watermelon with coconut jelly. On a hot Irvine day, it was excellent -- cold, clean, refreshing and just sweet enough. 5/5. The little yellow Hui Lau Shan spoon, complete with cheerful fruit-headed mascot, provided an additional level of emotional support I did not know dessert utensils were capable of. We also had the J3 Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which arrived as mango, pomelo, sago and a scoop of mango ice cream lounging together in a bowl like wealthy relatives at a resort. Also 5/5. Cold enough to initiate a brain freeze, but on this particular evening brain activity had already been reduced considerably by KBBQ, so little was lost. The ordering system is straightforward: your receipt gives you an order number and server name, and the display samples make choosing fairly idiot-resistant. Ours even identified the J3 and the watermelon dessert clearly enough that no graduate degree in tropical fruit studies was required. There was, however, one melancholy resident inside the display case: a small bee apparently trapped behind the plastic among the immaculate fake desserts. Outside, Irvine remained warm and prosperous. Inside, mangoes glistened. The young remained young. The bee contemplated mortality. Los Angeles throws pollution into the atmosphere at rush hour; Hui Lau Shan throws mango into essentially everything else. A very good dessert stop after an irresponsibly large meal. Especially if you love mango, shaved ice, fruit desserts and the mild humiliation of realizing everyone around you appears young enough to be your intern. 5/5. If you are a mango lover, you will probably leave happy. If you are a dying bee trapped behind the dessert display, your evening is developing somewhat differently. 当然。下面是一个更简短、正式、没有幽默成分的中文版本：许留山 Hui Lau Shan -- Irvine, CA 评分：5/5 在韩国烧烤之后，我们来到许留山吃甜品。这家店以芒果类甜品为主，店内展示了多种甜品模型，点餐方式简单直观。我们点了西柚芒果西米和西瓜椰果甜品。西柚芒果西米包含芒果、西柚、西米和芒果冰淇淋，口感清爽，甜度适中，芒果味很突出。西瓜椰果也非常适合炎热天气，冰凉爽口，不会过甜。店内环境现代、休闲，顾客以年轻人为主。服务和出餐流程都很直接，整体体验轻松方便。如果喜欢芒果、西米、椰果和港式水果甜品，许留山是一个很不错的选择。 5/5，值得再来。

**Disappointing Customer Service Experience -- August 24, 2026, Around 6:00 PM**…read more I've been coming to this store almost twice a week, so I'm very familiar with what my usual smoothie should look like. Unfortunately, my experience today, **August 24th around 6:00 PM**, was extremely disappointing. I ordered the **Berry Banana Burst** with an added spinach. While watching my smoothie being prepared, I noticed the employee added what appeared to be an entire bag of spinach. I immediately knew it was significantly more than what I normally receive. I politely asked if it could be remade because the amount was excessive and completely different from the usual amount I receive. The employee went to the back and brought **Cassandra S.** out. Cassandra told me they could not remake the smoothie simply because the spinach had already been added. I was honestly shocked. I explained that this was clearly not the normal amount, but she still refused. I then asked for the other employee's name so I could provide accurate feedback, and she refused to give me her name, which I found very odd and unprofessional. Ultimately, I asked for a refund, which they provided. While I appreciate getting my money back, it raises a bigger concern: if a customer receives a drink that is incorrectly made, is the response really to refuse to fix it and simply refund the customer? That doesn't seem like good customer service or a good business practice. I actually work in the ingredient industry and sell ingredients to **Nekter**, so I have a particular understanding of how important consistency, preparation, and customer experience are. I would strongly recommend additional training for the staff at this location, particularly around customer service, product consistency, and having a customer-first mindset. I've been a loyal customer and would have much rather had my smoothie remade correctly than receive a refund. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'll be visiting another location going forward. I hope management reviews what happened during the **August 24th, approximately 6:00 PM shift**, because this was a very disappointing experience for a regular customer.

I had the opportunity to visit Tea By Do before their Irvine opening, and I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing that stood out to me was the space itself. The interior is clean, modern, and calming with beautiful wood tones throughout. It reminded me a bit of Chagee's aesthetic, but Tea By Do has its own charm, especially with Cha Cha the panda appearing throughout the store. It's cute without feeling overdone. As for the drinks, what impressed me most was that they weren't overly sweet. A lot of tea shops rely on sugar, but here you can actually taste the tea. My favorite was the Mango Pomelo Sago. I ordered it at 50% sweetness and it was perfect--sweet enough to satisfy a craving without being overwhelming. The Kyoho Grape Jasmine Tea was refreshing, tangy, and gave major summer vibes. The Oolong Milk Tea with Soybean Cheese Foam was smooth and comforting with a nice tea-forward flavor that made it feel relaxing rather than heavy. The staff were also incredibly welcoming and patient, making the experience feel comfortable from start to finish. Overall, Tea By Do feels like a great place to catch up with friends, study for a bit, or grab a drink before exploring the many dessert spots nearby. If you're looking for drinks that actually highlight the tea rather than just sweetness, this is definitely worth checking out. read more

I've been to countless boba spots, but this place easily stands out as one of the very best in Irvine. The quality of their tea base is genuinely impressive--you can actually taste the robust, authentic tea flavor rather than just a cup full of sugar and artificial syrups. I highly recommend trying their signature milk tea with reduced sweetness (around 30% or 50%) so the natural roasted notes really shine through. The boba pearls are cooked to absolute perfection, featuring that ideal, chewy, bouncy texture without being mushy in the middle. The service is also wonderfully quick, and the staff is incredibly welcoming, even during their busy weekend rushes. The interior is clean, modern, and has a great atmosphere for hanging out. I will definitely be making this my regular spot whenever I need a high-quality tea fix! read more

I used to always get their gardenia fresh milk cuz I personally have no obsession with mango. Their gardenia has a very balanced taste between floral scent and tea base. And their recent launch peach series is also good too it's like a hidden gem.

Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink).

It is almost impossible to find $4 milk teas with boba in this economy, so it was refreshing to find a drink shop with actually reasonable prices. The 100% sweetness is their regular, and it was way too sweet for me. I was able to taste the syrup more than the actual flavor of the milk tea. The boba pearls were great quality with perfect consistency and chewiness! I don't think I would come here frequently for the boba, but I would come here to find something that gets the job done of having a boba craving for a cheap price. MIXUE Soft Serve is what their most famous for, as it is only a little over a dollar. This is again an amazing price in this economy. The soft serve has a good milk flavor with a bit of vanilla. The flavor of the milk is much more present versus the vanilla. I would actually come back just for the ice cream cone as it was delicious. Staff: Service was very quick and orders were taken through the kiosk. Ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza.

Owly Tea & Crepe (located in the former Snow Monster boba shop space) is a cute, minimalistic-decorated dessert shoppe ~ specializing in unique tea lattes, fruit refreshers, and creative, decadent crepes. Their drinks are categorized by what you're craving: O (Old School milk teas & lattes)-W (Whimsical unique flavor combinations)-L (Luminous fruity delights)-Y (Yes to all ~ a mix of everything). Cute concept! We stopped by on a Tuesday evening, and there was just one worker manning the counter & making the drinks. He was friendly & attentive. There's cute seating inside, along with plenty of outdoor seating. I tend to gravitate toward fruity drinks, so naturally, I went with something from the Luminous category. The Pineapple Sunshine immediately caught my eye. I did have to make sure they didn't include the mango syrup since I'm allergic to mango (I know..it sucks!), but thankfully, the drink was still good & refreshing without it. I opt'd for 70% sweetness, which was perfect for me. I also liked that they used real ingredients, as I could definitely taste the pineapple & passion fruit. I couldn't quite make out what flavor the jelly was, but I really liked the texture ~ it was soft with just a lil chewiness. All in all, it was a refreshing drink for a hot summer day. I'd rate it an 8/10. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here specifically for boba, but if I'm in the plaza again, I'd definitely try another drink!

One thing I wish they had was an order limit during busy periods--the person ahead of my friend ordered 20 drinks, so you can imagine how that went.

Keep in mind that TP Tea's drinks are designed around Taiwanese teas so they are unique in that they are not like typical boba shops, where they lean more on syrups, flavors, toppings, & sweetness - which I still love haha. TP Tea's drinks emphasis the flavor of the tea but still offer smoothies as well. Yay! Even though we ordered smoothies on the first visit instead of what they are known for which are their teas, it was only because we didn't want caffeine at almost 9pm lol We didn't really stay inside to enjoy our drinks because they have very limited seating and not much for ambiance like other boba shops we have visited. From what we noticed, the tables weren't that clean and the fabric-covered seating had stains.. so we sat outside. Interaction with the staff was very limited because you order from two kiosks on the wall. They just yell out your name when the drinks are ready, with not much warmth or friendliness. This won't stop me from going back but it's noticeable. We thought it was just because it was our first time but it was the same 'treatment' the second time around a few weeks ago. I debated between 3-star and 4-star and went with 4-stars because the drinks are quite delicious. Just don't expect amble seating, cleanliness, or friendliness.

When ordering there are lots of customized options which was wonderful. Next time I will customize even more.
