I would highly recommend if you're someone who doesn't like things too sweet and prefer teas more natural to opt for 0% sweetness. The milk has a sweetness to it combined with boba / mochi so just be aware. - Service was super fast considering how busy they are - Boba and mochi were expertly made with perfect texture Cons: - Interior size. It was very crowded and busy inside with almost no seating available.

They make their drinks with house coconut milk and offer both fruit teas and milk teas. Ordering is efficient with self-service kiosks, and there were tons of pickup orders when I visited. Seating is very limited only about 3 small tables. Drinks seem to come in one size, and they don't list specific sugar percentages, which would be helpful. My smoothie-style drink was around $7. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for more unique Asian-inspired drink flavors.

I didn't interact with the staff since there's an iPad kiosk at the counter for ordering. I got the Traditional Oolong Milk Tea and the Peach Fruit Tea, which came out to about $14. Traditional Oolong Milk Tea: Simple, but really enjoyable. I got it at 70% sweetness, and it was perfect. The boba was chewy and delicious. Peach Fruit Tea: This was tasty, and I liked the balance between the peach flavor and the tea. It also came with peach chunks, which were a nice touch. The only downside was that I got it at 70% sweetness, and it was still a little bitter. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Craving boba in Los Angeles can sometimes be difficult to satisfy, especially when the thought of…read morefinding parking becomes more stressful than the craving itself. Luckily, Yi Fang is one of those spots where parking is rarely an issue. They have their own parking lot, plenty of nearby street parking, and even additional parking near a church close by, which makes visiting much more convenient compared to many other boba shops in LA. The store itself is on the smaller side, with only a few chairs and seating options available. They offer both a self-serve kiosk for quick ordering and a front register if you have questions or prefer ordering with staff assistance. Yi Fang is best known for their fruit teas, which are considered their specialty. Personally, I tend to prefer milk teas, and while the drinks are still good, I found the quality of the grass jelly and boba to feel somewhat inconsistent compared to other boba places I've visited.

I thought their boba was made really good, it tasted more like jelly and was really addicting. The drinks themselves were on the sweeter side, so I would definitely come back and get half sweet next time, especially for the yuzu. Service was fast and they have a self ordering kiosk, which was convenient. There is a small amount of seating inside, but there's also a plaza outside that you can walk around. They have free parking for 2 hours in the lot with validation. Would definitely recommend!

Although the boba was yummy, I think the name was a bit misleading and was more similar in flavor and texture to grass jelly.

It's so refreshing & the perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sugary at all. The coconut, mango, & sago all pair so well together & I love how fresh this tasted, like you could really taste real fruit & not just syrup. They also have mango & coconut jelly in it, which was delicious & added such a nice chew. All the textures in the drink are so fun too, it honestly feels like a dance party in your mouth in the best way, from the sago to the jelly to the slush itself. The mango is also so sweet & ripe, & the portion size is huge. This drink has gone super viral & I can definitely see why. This place normally has a very long line, sometimes the wait can be 45 minutes, especially if you go during peak hours. I'd suggest ordering ahead, they have a HeyTea app which is so helpful for that. The location itself is really nice though, I like to walk around Rodeo while I wait for my order. This was actually their first West Coast location in the US too, so it makes sense why it's been so packed. Instagram: @hungrytamale

A group of us decided to try out Heytea which is down the street from our job. So we made the trek…read moreand once we got there, I didn't realize how small the shop was.

Once it was our turn to order, we were told that the boba was t ready and wouldn't be until about an hour later. We we t around 11am, so you may want to call to make sure they have boba if you are coming from a distance. Anyway, since we work down the street, we decided to go back when the boba was ready and get a few drinks. Our order consisted of the loud matcha latte, a match cheese milk tea, and a supreme brown sugar boba, which was my order. Overall, it wasn't the best milk tea boba I had but the boba's were very warm and soft. It was a hot day and I noticed my drink was a little warm too. I was going to add more ice to my drink because there wasn't very much ice in it. It was also creamy with some froth or something. It wasn't bad but it was a little different than what I am used to and I go to a lot of boba spots. I will probably go back to try their fruit teas but the milk teas were a little unusual to me.

This is one of those times where my girlfriend and I had completely different opinions lol…read more We tried a couple of their fruitier drinks, including the grape/Muscat one and one of the pink drinks. For me, they were way too tart. I tend to like my drinks sweeter, so these just weren't hitting for me at all. My girlfriend, on the other hand, loved them. So I don't necessarily think the drinks were bad. If you like fruit-forward drinks that are more tart and less sweet, this might actually be exactly what you want. It just wasn't what I personally like. The branding and presentation are cute, and I understand the appeal. I just wouldn't come back specifically for the drinks we tried.

So positive, friendly, and offered swag which was very nice of them! Both drinks excel in very good matcha, but both failed in the teas.

I've been to this tea house many times, as well as several of their other locations, but my…read moreexperience tonight, 10/03/26, left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't plan to return to this location and am reconsidering supporting the brand altogether. We arrived close to closing, and I was initially hesitant to go in for that reason. However, I saw another group of several people entering at the same time, so I assumed they were still accepting orders. That group was welcomed inside with smiles and allowed to place their order. When we approached the door immediately afterward, the reception was completely different. The smiles disappeared, and we were essentially shooed away and told we could not order. What made the interaction particularly uncomfortable was the obvious difference in how the two groups were treated within moments of each other. From what I could observe, the most noticeable difference between our group and theirs was the color of our skin. I can't say what motivated the staff's behavior, but the disparity in treatment was significant enough that it left us wondering whether race played a role. If the store was closed and no longer accepting orders, that policy should have been applied equally to everyone. Allowing one group to order while turning another away moments later is difficult to understand and left us feeling unwelcome. At minimum, I think the staff at this location would benefit from additional training on consistent and equitable treatment of customers.

Yesterday (October 3rd, Saturday) I got a Mango Coconut Boom at Hey Tea in the Glendale Galleria…read more The line for the kiosk was long, so I went to the counter and asked if I could order here. A female staff member said I could, so I ordered at the counter and asked her what drinks could be made caffeine-free. She very kindly told me that if I let her know which drink I wanted, she would make it without caffeine for me. The female staff who took my order was incredibly friendly. I ordered the Mango Coconut Boom, and it was great that they had a display board showing which order numbers were currently being made while I waited. After waiting for about 5 to 8 minutes, my drink came out, and it was really delicious. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing. (I actually try to avoid drinking sugary drinks because of my teeth. Ever since spending a fortune at the dentist a few years ago, I've been taking extra care of my teeth. So I usually don't drink sweet beverages, but this one didn't bother my teeth at all, which made it even better.) The only downside is that this location doesn't have any tables or seating space. Still, the drink was so delicious and refreshing that I finished it in a flash, and the staff who took my order was so friendly, which was great. (Even when Starbucks gives out free drinks sometimes with my reward points, I never order a Venti because I think it's a waste to order a large size just because it's free if I can't even finish it. So I just ordered a regular size yesterday, but it was so good that I drank it so fast.) I heard Hey Tea is very popular lately and that a lot of people love it, so I went out of curiosity yesterday, and I am completely satisfied.

When we arrived at the Grove, the first thing we wanted were some drinks so we headed over to Figure 8 Tea Project. This place was crazy busy when we got in line but the staff moved quickly and eventually it was our turn to order. I ordered the literal first thing I saw on the counter and that was the Sparkling Yuzu Lemonade. Now, I've had a whole lot of lemonade since moving to LA and this just might be some of the best I've had. The taste was fantastic, my thirst was quenched, and I left definitely knowing this is a place I'll be returning too in the future.

I ordered the Pistachio Matcha with Oat Milk + Jasmine Silk Boba at 50% sweetness. The pistachio flavor was dominant on this, and the creaminess goes well with the tea flavored boba. This actually tasted like a dessert drink to me, but it was still refreshing. It was not overly sweet, but I'd probably request even less sweetener next time. The jasmine silk boba has a fun, softer than Jello kind of texture. The staff seem friendly, though there isn't much interaction with them if you use their kiosk to place your order. The space is clean and has some benches for you to sit and wait for your order, but I don't recall seeing any tables so it's definitely a to-go kinda spot. I recommend and will come back here for boba when visiting the area again.

The Yuzu Osmanthus Silk Boba was also really refreshing, especially on a hot day. It had a nice light citrusy and floral flavor that made it very easy to drink. Now I understand why everyone keeps talking about this place!
