CHICHA San Chen 吃茶三千 (Chinatown)

We stumbled upon this tea shop after dim sum with the family one day. Apparently it’s the new hype in the area, and I can see why. This spot feels less like a typical bubble tea shop and more like a high-end tea experience. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of tea fills the air. The ambiance feels noticeably more upscale than most tea shops we’ve visited—very clean, polished, organized, and professional. One of the first things I noticed was how focused the staff were. Everyone wore uniforms and masks, and the operation felt like a well-oiled machine. There’s a glass prep area where you can watch the tea being made, along with a brewing machine that extracts the tea almost like watching coffee brew. The staff were incredibly concentrated—even bending down to eye level to double-check orde

The tea tasting here was such a wonderful experience! The staff explained everything clearly, and I really appreciated being able to choose the teas myself and sample them. It made the experience feel more personal and special. The drinks are absolutely delicious. They have a deep, rich flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. The boba is high quality and perfectly textured. It’s a little on the pricey side, but it’s definitely worth it. I’ll be coming back again!

Visited this newly opened place yesterday. It’s a little pricey for a medium cup, yet the drinks were great and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!

We came in their first few weeks of their opening and the store is still very crowded with people bumping shoulders and tables. We tried both the brown sugar milk tea (this is good) and mango tart (feels like there was no mango or tart in $10 drink so i’d not recommend this one). They were also giving their sample of their milk tea and those were better of both our drinks.

I got the regular milk tea - it is great! The wait is quite long since this location just opened but I highly recommend doing the pure tea sampling experience with Lee while you're waiting for your order. It's very informative and the tea (different from what is used in the boba drinks) is super fun to try!
