Hot summer drink is here aka Cantaloupe Crush! I have known and had Tastea since forever that I finally have a chance to give a shoutout to them.I ordered:1. Cantaloupe Crush - summer drinks2. Avocado Avalanche - always my fav!3. Jasmine milk tea4. Matcha Thai milk tea5. Karate chicken - yum! - served with sweet sour sauce and ranchTastea has many locations which very convenient to pick up at your nearest location. It is one of the first boba shops in Socal area and still one of the top! It is very convenient to pick up your order outside of the store when it ready, reducing the traffic inside the store, especially with our pandemic situation right now. Service is quick, drinks are consistent, and clean simple store!

I had tastea at 2 other locations toward garden grove. Tried the taro smoothie here once and it was not as great. The ice werent crushed as well so there were many small chunks.

I ordered the signature Peach Me Sweetea with Original Boba. They used natural peach and strawberry instead of syrup, so a healthier boba option. But, the tea was watered down and the boba was flavorless.7/10

I love this place and go once a week! The employees are so nice and accommodating. The place is always clean and the service is quick. My favorite is the Tootea Fruitea but I substitute the fruit bits for the honey boba. Both the chicken and fries are delicious, I get the level two spiciness and its plenty spicy for me.

My favorite Boba spot because to the drinks options and the best popcorn chicken. This new location actually has some tables! Much cleaner and can actually be a hangout spot I much contrast to the run down Westminster location.Tried the new popcorn shrimp and its great! Same flavoring as the popcorn chicken, the shrimps were actually very good size, no shells except for the tail. So good. Of course Popcorn chicken is always good. Honey Boba (the green ones) are also always good and chewy.My top drinksMatcha Thai teaKryptonite (Matcha blended ice)Almost all the teasAvocado avalanche

The taro milk tea was INCREDIBLE. Maybe the best I’ve ever had. Fantastic creaminess without being too sweet. 💯

Wednesday May 12 @9:00 PMI come here all the time and I love it! However tonight I had an unpleasant experience. The girls working tonight were very rude and unfriendly. I placed an order for online and i came to pick it up and it was already ready. I stand at the window outside to pick up my drinks, one of the work tees opens the window and calls out a name for another customers order and hands it to him and as I try to ask about my order I’m picking up she slams the window shut. So I continue to wait as she’s probably busy and will come back. However I’m waiting at the window for about 5 more minutes and the girls are inside looking at me and not doing anything. So I walk inside and say I’m picking up an order, the 3 matchas as I’m pointing to them on the counter. The girl rudely says “yeah that’s gonna be the window outside.” So I go outside and wait yet again. She comes to the window and says what’s the name and order and I tell her, i also say it’s the matchas on the counter. She then rudely asks to see the order on my phone and doesn’t even look at it, and finally gives me my drinks and doesn’t say anything and proceeds to slam the window shut again.I understand it might be a busy and stressful shift but please do not take it out on your customers. These workers make management and the business look bad. The review is solely based on these workers performance and attitude. Hopefully management does something about it, I love coming here. 😞

Supervisor Tom, have absolutely no customer service behavior, ask for favor to bring order for curbside pick up, tip well and order 7 drinks. He hang up on me so definitely no ordering here again and no tip for this crew! Sorry!

This place is popular! Many ordered ahead and we had to wait in line to pick up our drinks. We went into the store to order. There were dots 6 feet apart on the floor with directions to get to the cashier to order and also arrows on the floor to guide you back out to wait OUTSIDE while they make your drinks. Today, I ordered a Thai tea with honey boba. My bf got his usual passion tea lemonade with boba. Their boba is green!!!! I finished mine before I remember to take a photo... next time!

The matcha tea was very good. The cashier messed up our orders and I ended up eating karate chicken with spicy level 4/5 instead of 2/5. The chicken pieces were so small that it felt like eating fried air.

Im writing this a day after my experience with this Tea House in OC. The reason why Im doing 2 stars is because the boba and the tea werent what my expectations were. I order a 32oz Thai Milk Tea, the boba was to soft and slimy, the drink also tasted more like water than the Thai Tea itself. No Bueno. Ive been at better tasting Thai Tea places before, but this place doesnt cut it into my top 5. The staff clerk working there taking my order was indeed very polite. Unfortunately I dont have pictures of the drink.

I have been here a few times and really like the place. Their drinks are very good. The karate chicken and the shrimp on it are a bit salty and spicy (at least for me).

Review №26

I really like Tastea and this is no exception. Im actually a fan of the one in Chino Hills and I am now a fan here. I can say that I do prefer the chicken in Chino Hills better. Maybe I just got a not as good batch, but it was still good. The drink is just as how I remember: full of flavor and very refreshing. If you are not a fan of spices this place probably isnt for you. I recommend the level 2 spiciness. It is just the right amount to me. The shop is clean and is the size of a normal boba shop. There are no complaints about the service. Ill come again and make sure to try all the drinks.

I love this place. They have tables so you can come with your friends and hang out.One little tip, this location typically makes their drinks a bit less sweet than the other locations. So if you are used to the taste of the other locations, ask them to make your drink a bit sweeter.

Review №28

Always great. There are places with better quality tea but this chain has the balance of flavors and sweetness down as well as consistently great, fresh boba. Which is THE POINT, right? 😊Try the watermelon drinks when its in season, too

Review №29

3 stars because this one doesnt match up to the one in Garden Grove. The chicken is not made the same which I dont enjoy. Also the drinks come out a smidgen better in Garden Grove I dont know why that is.If things tasted like they did in Garden Grove (I wish they did because this place is closer to my house) I would give this place 5 stars.Regular Tastea Customer

My girlfriend is a regular at this place. Shes a bubba freak, has her own ratting scale and everything. She calls this place a treat that she only allows her self if she did something special or needs a boost. Absolutely loves this place. The owner is a really cool guy I dont know if he ever sleeps he seems devoted to the business and all of the workers their are happy and polite. I just like being in the store sometimes Ill sample a few drinks if they make something new but usually Im just there to share the fun and have a nice polite conversation with them. If you havent been go!

I dont really like sweet drinks, but for some reason I really enjoy their The Unknown drink with aloe bitsService: fast and friendly, always greeted and served with a smile.Location: Major plaza with Stater Bros. parking is usually not an issue. All in all is a good location.Drinks: drinks are great, I use to go to the Garden Grove location with friend but never really enjoyed anything. Since this one opened I really started appreciating the The Unknown I am not sure if their recipes are different or its just all in my head. Regardless it is a great place to frequent especially if you are dining in at Yamadaya for Ramen in the same plaza.

Awesome boba tea place. Love how they have fruit pieces as an option for add ons. Also they have a gigantic 32oz size which should be a standard size for other tea places.One thing that they dont do is the vacuum seal on the cup though, which is a little annoying since its harder to bike home with it in my backpack.Update- I love this boba shop. I honestly love this place so much. Ive had all of their teas on their menu and a few of the blended drinks. I enjoy the Strawberry Ecsteasy the most.The boba though... Omfg...The first few times Ive had the boba here, it was really good but nothing spectacular. Just a unique colored boba I thought. But the past few times I came here to get some drinks, the boba was on another level. Ive never, ever, ever had boba like this in my entire life and Ive consumed copious amounts of boba in my life. The consistency was like that of mochi, very soft and delicate yet bouncy and chewy like no other. Maybe they made it fresh right before I ordered it, but wow, I was so happy that I could have cried. It was life changing. I am a changed man now. Really.
