Parking: Parking garage and street parking available Ambience: Small shop located inside Little Tokyo Galleria with lots of K-pop merchandise for sale, and K-pop music and music videos playing on TV behind counter. No seating available inside, but there are 2 tables w/ chairs right outside the cafe. They also have flyers for upcoming events on the counter. Service: Standard, no complaints! Taste: Got the strawberry yogurt smoothie, which hit just the spot for a refreshing spring drink and wasn't too sweet.

Stopped by this cafe while I was in the area for an event. The shop is really cute with merch lining the walls and the workers were friendly and quick with making drinks. I ordered the strawberry matcha and I thought it was pretty good. The matcha had good flavor, but I thought the strawberry overpowered it a little bit. Overall a nice addition to this shopping center! Would be an excellent spot to host a cup sleeve event if they're open to it!

Strawberry Milk drink is SOOOO GOOD!! The best I've had in such a long time, the boba just makes it even better than it already is!! Super cute merch and friendly people! (:

The boba was amazing! And the Thai tea was delicious I was so happy with the flavor. A lot of spots I feel like it's watered down. This place definitely seeps those tea leaves. Also, if you love K-pop, this is the place to be. There is a ton of merch, but I only came for the Bobba, so I cannot speak to it.

A Win is a Win and this is a WINx2KPOP POVMy BFF is obsessed with kpops so she vetted that this place was awesome with their selection of posters, magazines, albums, music, music videos, their seasonal kpop band sleeves for the drinks, and birthday party celebrations (for the kpops, iykyk).DRINKS POVDrinks were amazingly delicious, and we came back 24 hours later! A selective menu of drinks, seem they cater more to slushy, they have one standard size, and unfortunately, they don't sell the jelly popping boba. However, what they did have on the menu was delicious.Parking: 1 hour free parking with stamp on ticket. 20 dollar max for lost or 3+ hour stay. Huge parking lot structure.

I ordered the Yakult drink. I wish it came blended. It was a decent drink. Nothing screamed "best drink ever" to me. I'd order here again though. They had some cool Kpop items in the store.

I went here with a friend after lunch and this shop is conveniently located inside the Little Tokyo Galleria. It's a cute shop inside with kpop items to purchase too, but no place for seating inside. There are a few seats outside though. I tried the matcha milk tea at 50% sweetness and less ice level, and overall the taste was okay. I've had matcha milk teas that were more flavorful, but this one isn't too bad or too good, just right. Perhaps I'll customize it differently next time. I also wished the cup was fully filled even though I ordered 50% sweetness with less ice because at other tea or boba shops I've been to before, they always fill it to the top regardless of my ice level or sweetness level customization. I get it though, since the customization level I chose could perhaps dilute the flavor more if it was fully filled, but nonetheless, I would appreciate a full cup for about $6 a drink. My friend enjoyed her Thai tea boba drink though! Overall, service was efficient and friendly. There are a bunch of other boba places in Little Tokyo to explore though, and those places have more drink menu options.

this boba shop is themed around kpop. it's a small shop that sells a small variety of boba. i got thai tea and the california sunset drink for a total of $15. it's a bit pricey for the quality you get. nice shop if you're a kpop fan. overall, 3.5/5 stars!
