    Strawberry Desert & Peach Desert
    Leela H.

    Hmm I was disappointed coming here. I don't want my review to be add to the echo chamber of negative reviews here on yelp butttt... This place is pricey for small portions and desserts that aren't very good. Perhaps the novelty ice cream deserts are an acquired taste? However both my friend and I didn't like them that much for paying $13-$15 e for them. I did come as a recommendation from Fred Lucas from YT so I understand that trendy places sometimes look better than they are but how could someone have bad ice cream?? Maybe this place should just stick to coffees as my friend liked his matcha and my lycee refresher was fine. Tons of sugar though, it was supposed to be lycee sparkling water and it was more like a frozen slushi as I could tell they used lycee syrup and lots of it. Perhaps fine for a local to stop by but I wouldn't return as I am from out of town. Establishment is clean tho and workers are fast!

    My friend and I got into LA the night before a concert and had some extra time, so we knew we absolutely had to make a stop at Tu Cha. We've seen all the viral fruit pastries online, and were so excited to try them. When we got in, we were able to see all of the options on display and they had a big menu telling you exactly what was in each one. You order off of a kiosk, which makes it incredibly easy to order. Almost all of our pastries were ready before we had even left the kiosk, which was great! I went with the mango and the peach, both of which were fantastic! The shortbread cookie underneath both was delicious, the mango mousse and filling tasted so fresh and amazing. The peach had an Earl Grey cream and fresh peach chunks as well. Both were in the classic white chocolate shell. These are so cute, fun to eat, very refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shop itself is adorable, plenty of seating, great decor and the staff was super friendly and very nice! These fruit pastries have absolutely gone viral, and there's many shops that do them, but Tu Cha is hands-down, the best!

    Over priced yes but good yes. If you want high quality hand made Asia treats come here. But you have to have the $$ as it cost so much.

    I've been eyeing Tu Cha for a long time and the viral fruit desserts looked too pretty to eat! But first, don't even bother getting this to go on a hot day with an ice bag (extra .91 cents). Eat it there or in the car because it WILL melt! Even so, my reaction for the mango filling was underwhelming. The filling was just mango mousse with a few pieces of mango inside. My friends and I liked the outer chocolate shell and that was about it. The size of the mango was probably even smaller than I expected and for the price point, it was only worth trying it once. Sadly the Bing Chillin Bites were also sold out too, but I most likely won't be coming back to the location just to get them!

    Lemon (so so runny, you miss the full flavor)

    Trenched through traffic with my fam to try this place out! It is nestled between large buildings on a busy street with enough parking (you may have to cross a street after finding a spot). What I loved: Dubai dream cake! Hands down worth the drive, it's the best dessert option they have. Creamy balanced flavors, well layered, and with a texture that is irresistibly fun to eat. I love the heart container. We bought almost all of every piece dessert except for two along with the ice cream bites. Needless to say, we were not impressed. Each pastry had the same lingering aftertaste which was odd, the fresh strawberry topping was old, the gelatin like texture did not complement the watery centers, and the outside chocolate shell had no flavor. Of course, if you like these details of texture, you may dig it! Just definitely not for me. The ice cream bites resemble a frozen yogurt like texture and although I appreciate the all natural fruit product, the flavors didn't quite come through. The space inside is small, clean, and cozy. We weren't really warmly welcomed but did receive a kind goodbye after we picked up our order and had tipped generously. The Togo boxes could use improvement as they were so flimsy and hard to store in the fridge. The carry out bag is SO nice though. We're happy to have supported the business but will not drive out there again. Try your luck, it is fun to explore!

    I was excited to try the desserts here and didn't expect it to by super pricey. I got 3 cakes to try: mango, lemon, and strawberry, and the fruit ice cream. The presentation of the cakes do look nice however there was nothing special about the taste. It somewhat just tasted like mousse cake and it was underwhelming. The ice cream tasted a bit like plastic or wax. I would not get desserts from here due to the price and taste of the desserts. I would rather go elsewhere for cake/ice cream.

    If you're in Los Angeles, make a stop at Tucha. We tried their viral peach and mango cake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. These trompe-l'œil pastries--French desserts designed to "deceive the eye" by looking like real fruit--are as impressive as they are delicious. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of sweetness. We also had their matcha drink, which was just as good. A bit pricey, but worth the indulgence.

    Mango
    Michelle G.

    I was so dissatisfied with my visit. I got the mango and it literally fell apart. Had been to Altadena first and loved it, this doesn't compare. Tried 3- rasperry, mango and strawberry came to over $50. No it was not good. The mango fell apart and the middle ended up all down my shirt, it was not set. Worst $50 ever spent. I will not go back.

    my man go
    Sharon L.

    Incredibly expensive for the lack of proper technique. I think perhaps the wave of social media hype may have temporarily overwhelmed the team, or maybe the new hires weren't trained long enough to put out consistent work. They seemed kind of confused. My Man Go: 2/10. A trompe l'œil pastry designed to look like a mango, filled with fresh mango, mango mousse, and sitting atop a hazelnut praline cookie. For starters, the chocolate shell was soft and lacked the crispness of properly tempered chocolate. Either that, or it had started melting due to improper temperature regulation in the case. The fresh mango was overripe and had no texture; the mousse was similarly made of overripe mango and was room temperature. The praline was not made properly, and had zero structure. I don't really understand how all of these things can be true when it appears as though the pastries are sitting in a refrigerated case. What a waste of mango. Interior was standard, no decorations. TVs playing Tik Tok reviews. Tables were all dirty, probably because of the lack of structural integrity of the pastries.

    Pretty but underwhelming
    Christine L.

    We've been wanting to try this place because of how beautiful the cakes look. We stopped by here to try it. We got the mango and the raspberry one. Both were underwhelming. Taste was too creamy with no prominent flavor. The texture melted almost as soon as you get into it. Although very pretty, didn't love it and would not come back.

    Devil fruit and My Man Go

    Tried TU CHA this weekend after a day out in LA on a nice Friday. I have wanted to try the Erfurt desserts that went viral in Paris by Cedric golet. Los Angeles fruit desserts have many competitors but I was most excited to try TU CHA the most and they did not disappoint. The friends I took with me to try TU CHA were shocked at the high price as so was I but I believe the quality and beauty matched and my friends also respected the flavors and love put into the desserts. I will come back to try the rest of them. I also love that TU CHA is women owned and I love supporting women.

    2 serving in one container .

    This is a popular fruit shaped chocolate coated ice cream . It went viral all over internet! The product is sold out everywhere . It was sold out and my friends could not even got their hands on it ! Today we are lucky to be able to get one and we tried it as soon as we got home . The chocolate comes in 5 shapes and flavors : banana , strawberry, peach , grapes , mango . One container has two sets of fruits flavored ice. We took a bite out of each . My favorites ones are banana and peach . . The chocolate layer is too thick and the sweetness over powder the fruits taste of the ice cream . Today is on sale $16.99 , 50 cents less than Normal price .

    We had to try every flavor

    Ask the Community - Tu Cha

    Considering it's been a few months since the peak virality of the fruit-shaped pastries, do they still sell out fast? I'm only able to come at the end of the day at 7pm so I want to know what my selection will be, if there will even be anything left

    I went during the week after dinner (around 8pm) and they had nearly all the flavors still in stock, I think only ran out of 1?

    Do the desserts contain animal gelatin?

    How long can the fruit desserts last if I'm taking a 3 hour flight back home? Is it not recommended? My daughter has been wanting to try.

    It won't last since the inside contains ice cream and will melt by 3 hours time.

    Can we take the desserts to go if they are refrigerated?

    100% yes

    Where is the parking for this place? is it difficult to park? Will be traveling a long way want to be prepared!

    Hi! There’s a dedicated parking lot located at 2850 W 7th Street. It’s about a 2.5-minute walk from TuCha!

    Any gluten free options?

I appreciate the guy making it because I was so hungry and wanted to eat. Passionfruit Hibiscus Tea: There's a reason why it's one of their top 15 drinks by customers. I love the tanginess of passionfruit and the color from the hibiscus tea. It was definitely a refreshing drink that wasn't too sweet for me! Earl Grey Madeleines: Ahhhh this was baked to perfection and the earl grey filling was not too sweet. Loving the bright flavor of the bergamot citrus in the cream and wasn't too overpowering. What a duo I didn't know I needed. Parking: There is parking in the plaza but I'm sure it gets busier during the day.

Obviously, Sunright's employees must use a restroom somewhere during their shifts, so who provides them access? Saying plaza management maintains the restrooms doesn't explain why nobody working at Sunright supposedly had a key or why it couldn't be provided to a paying customer. That feels like a dodge rather than an explanation.
