They are overly priced if we compare the tea maru shops in other places they are cheaper then this one in Santa Ana. They made us pay extra for
toppings as well. Definitely a one star rating.

They nicely gave us a sample of the mango boba when we asked, and it was good—soft but chewy with a nice mango flavor and not overly sweet. I ordered the classic brown sugar boba thinking it would be similar but was unfortunately wrong. I don’t know if it was the batch but it was too soft in an almost crumbly, not chewy way, and with a bumpy surface, both things I associate (whether correctly or not) with old/not fresh boba. I’d like to try the sweet potato boba but it seems they don’t always have it, and I probably won’t go back when there are tons of other consistently great boba places around.

Excellent and unique handmade craft boba! The texture of the boba is different but delicious, you can tell it's freshly made. The jasmine tea was good quality with excellent flavor balance. They are located in the retail area of an apartment complex, not the most visible location. Appeared to be plenty of retail parking in the attached parking structure. Hope to visit again!
So happy to have this location opened! It's a bit tucked away from the main road and has smaller inventory than the Irvine location but the staff is very friendly and the area is nice.
