This place has been around for the longest time. I think I have been here 2-3 times. However, my visits were always very far apart. So far that I am unable to remember the taste. My most recent visit was great. So great that I needed to write a review. The service was extremely good. There were only two gals working. However, they were very efficient. I saw people coming in one by one placing orders. They somehow managed to make the drinks so quick. Mine took a little bit longer since it gotta be brew fresh. I got the 913 King's tea. This was supposed to be a hot drink. However, they agreed to make it on ice for me. It was a bit weak. I returned to ask for more sugar and ice. The gal was worried that it might lack tea flavor so she offered to give me the tea bag. Overall, the drink was ok. The price was decent. No RR Seating avail Street parking read more

8.5/10 Got the mango passion fruit cooler. But the best thing is just the regular mango cooler. IYKYK read more

Lots of options and family owned. Right next to Howlin Rays in Chinatown. Service was slow but its for a good reason. It was Chinese New Year. read more

You can either buy tea or go to the other side of the shop that sells boba. This is our second time coming here and they are never busy which I'm surprised but also pleasantly happy about. I love the diverse menu. One of my favorites is the kumquat iced drink which is a good size and plenty of kumquat to see after you are done with your drink. Service has been good both times. Not much ambiance which is fine cause we always take it to go. There's street parking or you can find a parking lot close by. We walked it from the Cathedral, so it was a good walk especially since we had free parking after attending church. We will definitely be back. read more

Definitely not the same quality as other Ten Ren locations, but staff are super kind, quantity is plentiful for a cheap price, and easily visible from the main road. Parking is easy on the street. 25 cents can give you 30 minutes worth of parking. Enough time to get the drink and bounce. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go in Eastvale. Both the drinks and food are quite good, especially for the price. I love their basic milk teas, but they are on the sweet side. Their bowls are quite filling, with my favorite being the braised pork bowl, however I was a little disappointed with their joy pot. I highly recommend the spicy wontons! The service is great, the people there tend to be kind and patient. The inside of the store is beautifully decorated, and great to eat or work in. read more

I really enjoyed my experience in the tea shop. The ladies were helpful in explaining the teas and their benefits as well as how to prepare them. I thought the prices were very reasonable. I selected a bag of tea and pack of sachets for under 15 bucks. I think it's a quick must visit if you're in the plaza! read more

I found this place on. My stroll through the neighborhood on a hot day and man did the iced boba cool me down! Perfect little place to get refreshments in an open walkthrough plaza to hand in some shade. Delicious flavors to choose from!

Friendly staff and their Green Mango Green Tea was really refreshing, with lots of mango bits.

Tea was poured from a big plastic pitcher and tasted like low grade super market tea, At ~$8, I expected a lot more than that. The staff were friendly, but don't get the tea. read more

We came on a Sunday at 10a. They are one of the few boba shops open before noon! However they cook their boba fresh and didn't have boba ready until 11a. We got other milk teas. Parking is free on the street on Sundays. We came for Howling Rays last week and finding cheap parking is hard! But luckily coming early you can beat the rush. read more

I was a big fan of Ten Ren's until I tried the drinks from this location. We ordered our usual: Jasmine green tea and taro milk tea. Both of the drinks were extremely diluted, I might as well drink water. I'm so disappointed that each drink cost $7.50. I might still go to the Ten Ren's in other locations but NeVer again will I come back here. read more

Yummy place in Chinatown DTLA to get tea and boba! I ordered a 75% sweetness taro milk tea with boba and my cousin ordered a 50% black milk tea with boba. I usually order 100% sweetness because most boba shops make the drinks too sweet, but my drink tasted like 25% sweetness and my cousin felt as if her drink was not sweet at all. Which was totally okay! Healthier of course. Just fyi if you like your drinks sweet- 100% sweetness is probably what you're aiming for. The tea was light and refreshing. It didn't taste artificial but rather relatively high-ish in quality. Not as "high" in quality as boba guys or bopomofo to me, but I enjoyed it more than Quickly's next door and Bubble U further down the street! Still delicious nonetheless and will definitely be coming back again! :) read more

Ambiance was nice- a mom-and-pop shop vibe. We were the only customers when we came so the employee was fully paying attention to us. He took our order quickly and made the drink in a few minutes. We got the green milk tea for $6 each. There was only the large size option for this drink. I got half sugar and half ice so it tasted more like tea but it was decent. read more

Spacious, airy tea place in Chinatown that sells tea leaves and prepared tea drinks! It's been a long time since I've been to Ten Ren let alone the Ten Ren in Chinatown. The staff was friendly and welcoming as I ordered my drink. It's nice to be able to speak in Cantonese! I ordered a strawberry milk tea with boba which came out to be $6.50. The tea was refreshing and not too sweet; the boba has a nice chewy texture. Lots of nostalgia visiting! Staff shared that business has picked up with the bustling restaurants in the plaza namely Howlin Rays but it was very quiet on this Friday afternoon when I visited. Definitely come support your Chinatown businesses! Plenty of seating with tables and there's also free wifi! It's a great space to catch up with friends or do work. Parking can be found on the streets or at the public parking lot across the street for $5/day. read more

Ten Ren's Tea Time - Strawberry milk tea with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of Chinatown's original tea shops and with close relations with other Ten Ren locations throughout Southern California sells some of the finest teas you can find on the market. The selection here is amazing and complete with a large assortment of black and green teas from regions all over Asia. This is also where you will find King's Tea, aka King's Oolong, simply known as #103. King's Tea is a special Oolong blend that incorporates Ginseng. King's Tea is a blend that no cup of coffee will ever equal if you're asking for a pick-me-up. Most folks visit their counter for milk teas and boba, and there is no disappointment here. They brew their tea concoctions and those who actually enjoy tea will even get the tannin that a strong tea will give. There is also an assortment of other flavors too including fruit flavorings and some creative Asian examples. read more

What a great tea house right inside a little nook off the street. Safe, comfortable, welcoming and can we say delicious?!! The strawberry milk tea is phenomenal! It's a must try! We had to wait for the fresh boba for the day to be ready and it was worth the wait! We also got a hot orange pineapple tea and it's a sweet fruity tea that was amazing to have on this cool morning. All in all a great place and the staff was super welcoming to our family to come in and sit, chill and drink our teas. Family friendly and I'd highly recommend! read more

Very chill location inside the plaza and great on the go! Peak hours are between 12-1pm and it does get busy since there is only 1 barista who handles everything. There is in door seating and they allow outside food if you want to eat inside. Staff is very nice, attentive, and friendly! Got the "strawberry coconut cooler" and it was surprisingly good. I would ask to lower the sweetness because regular is quite sweet. Basically a coconut smoothie with strawberry drizzle. The fruit tea here is not bad either, I personally like their mango green tea. I recommend half sweet or even less. Boba is good, chewy, sweet, and last quite long during the day. Hot drinks, I recommend the honey lemon tea. Not overly sweet. read more

We enjoyed our tea here and I think the place can be a bit more efficient since there were only two workers here with a pretty long line on a weekend day. They especially get a lot of people lining up on the weekends it seems being near the outdoor bakery and the popular chicken place where the lines are over 50 people (even the clothes shop was getting a lot of foot traffic!). I appreciated how they filled the cup to the brim. However I don't like that they use plastic lids since those seem unnecessarily (why not just the plastic lined ones that use less plastic?). We ordered a drink with less sugar and that was the case so I would come back. read more

Located in the Ten Ren tea store in the Far East Plaza. The drinks scratch the boba itch on a hot day. The milk tea is solid. It isn't life-changing by any means, but I appreciate the service which is always fast, friendly, and efficient. I came a few months ago for a bake sale hosted to benefit the Chinatown Service Center--the FEP was a zoo with all of the bake sale goers and folks eating at Howlin' Rays, Lasita, and Amboy-- I admired how the one barista on duty was able to fulfill so many orders in such a short time. read more

This Tenren has been here for over 20 years! It's small with several tables inside. Their drink menus are small compared to the other TenRen. I am a milk tea person but decided to try their mango green tea on my most recent visit and it tasted really good. read more

Nice tea shop with a boba shop inside. I asked the person working the boba shop what teas they sell that are from the tea shop and he said the chrysanthemum, green tea, and black tea. Unfortunately none of the very exotic ones, but I decided on the honey chrysanthemum hot tea with honey boba. It was good and not too sweet! The tea shop has soooo many exotic teas that smelled amazing! Definitely would come back here to try more drinks and buy some tea to make at home. Parking can be tough in Chinatown, but on sundays most of the meters are free! read more

Sweet people working here that treat my dad like gold. They were very busy with Chinese New Year this weekend, but got orders out fast! Their taro milk tea is so freaking bomb. Their boba is so fresh, soft and warm, never had anywhere else that was quite like it. Pops is a fan of their red bean slush and honey green tea. He just has to get both every time he comes! read more

Solid strawberry coconut boba cooler. Priced right and very friendly Awesome to see 40 yr old business still here. The hot teas are a little pricey but they use whole tea leaves and they recommend you use the tea bag 2-3 times over!! So it's worth it in the end imo. read more

I would give it a 3.7 stars if I could. I just want to note three is not meant to be bad just average. I think Ten Ren is good I just don't see anything special about it. I wanted a mango cooler with boba but they didn't have any boba ready which isn't a problem but I did overhear a family say "they never have the boba", which I think is something to note. I enjoyed the mango smoothie. I thought it was tasty and had good flavor. My sister got the Thai tea and she said it was okay. There is underground parking that is $5 an hour. read more

I came here because all of the Tea Stations closed and I remember Ten Ren's tea being sold there so I came here. Big mistake! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. I asked if they were related to Tea Station and the lady told me different owner, same tea. She was friendly enough. I saw they had a huge tea store so while I was waiting I went to look around. A guy comes out and tells me hi and stands right in front of me. He is a few feet away, just standing and staring. He didn't ask me if I needed help, he just stood there. I was uncomfortable so I told him that I was just looking. He said okay and continued to just watch me. I had never had someone watch me so closely before so I didn't feel comfortable touching anything. I wanted to look at the different teas but his staring made me so uncomfortable that I was just walking around. I thought this can't be happening so I went around the little stand in the store to see if he would come over there. As soon as I went around he came around and said hi again. I frowned and started to walk over to the counter where she announced right on time that my drink was ready. I was so disgusted by this experience. I get it, not a lot of black people probably come into that shop, but to follow me around like that was really unacceptable. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but I have no doubt that that was racially motivated. He was literally only a few steps away from me, watching me like a hawk. The drink itself was nowhere near Tea Station quality. It tasted watered down and the boba was bland. I didn't even feel comfortable going back to have them remake it so I just took the loss and threw it away. Bad drinks and racist service....what a combo. Never coming back to this place! read more

We were waiting in line at howlin rays and getting thirsty, it was one of those few but becoming more common 90 degree January days in socal. The closest walkable boba place was ten rens, and alot of other ppl had the same idea. We got a coconut milk tea, red bean milk tea, and I got a coffee milk tea. The coffee milk tea tastes like watery tea and coffee, would not recommend. The coconut milk tea & red bean milk tea were delicuous, the red bean milk tea had alot of toppings and i would definitely recommend it . read more

Their menu is a bit more limited compared to other locations - no pudding, no cheese foam. Drinks are overpriced - $4 for a cup of hot water and a tea bag? I would stick to something more crafty. Their coolers are really (borderline diabetic) sweet especially ones with red beans - highly recommend to ask for half sweet. Not my fav bubble tea house/franchise- but can't complain about once in a blue moon treat. read more

The green milk tea with boba was yummy! It did not disappoint. Service was great & I love the tea.

I've been coming here for years! Over 15 years forsure! This place hasn't changed. Thankfully! The staff is always so nice and welcoming. I love placing phone orders because they have my drink rdy super quick and all that's left is to just pay and pick up. Super quick and easy! Definitely recommend doing that to avoid the lines! I usually always order in the morning right when they open but today I ordered in the afternoon and was surprised to find a line of people waiting to order. I waited in the line to pay which also went by really quick. It's such a breathe of fresh air to find a place that is consistent with the level of wonderful service as well as the great level of deliciously tasting drinks! I will continue coming here! read more

I came here while waiting for my food next door. I ordered 2 mango green tea and while the gentleman was pouring the already prepared green tea into both cups, he noticed there wasn't enough to fill both cups to the top so he decided to just top it off with more ice. When I asked why there's so much ice, he said it was necessary to keep the drink cold. There wasn't any other customer waiting to be serviced so I felt like he could have easily made more tea, but I didn't feel like arguing with him so I just left with the drinks filled with all ice. The drink was extremely diluted and overall a waste of money. read more

Kept passing by and finally tried their drinks. It was surprising because there wasn't much hype about it. Their slushies are the best with aloe or boba. The boba is chewy and isn't hard like most places when it comes with slushies. read more

OMG! I knew something sharp was in my drink but I thought they were maybe shell or pulp from lychee. But my throat started hurting everywhere. I took the drink home and wash it with water.
