This place has excellent tea and plenty of choices. The best thing about this location is that they make all teas fresh on site. This means there is a wait for your drink; however, it is worth the wait. I would recommend any of their milk teas. They also have red beans that can be added to most drinks.

My boyfriend and I went here post-hotpot to get something refreshing and we were pleasantly surprised by how wide their selection of drinks were. Along with their selections is their customizability - the kiosk makes it so easy to cater to your taste! Loved their yogurt and green tea drink (5/5), it was very light and had a slight tartness at the end. We also tried their royal chrysanthemum tea (4/5) with boba. Love their boba, it’s perfectly chewy and not too sweet!They also sell their teas in looseleaf form as well as some tea brewing accessories.We loved the energy of whoever was making the drinks tonight! Very helpful and greeted us so warmly. Thank you so much!Will definitely be back to try their other drinks and their menu!

Food orders are usually finished in 10-15 minutes. I called to place an order, was told 15 minutes. I paid about $25 for one drink and two snacks when I arrived to prevent a potentially longer time in the store. For one drink and two snacks, I was in the store for about 35 minutes. There were plenty of other customers waiting too which just highlights the need for one more person working there. I could tell the customers were becoming unhappy too as more time went on with no update from any of the staff. It was only when I got up at the 30 minute time of waiting to get in line (To check what's going on since I really needed to leave and get on the road) that I found out my order had been ready for some time already, but my name wasn't called out because the owner's planned on getting my order fixed for me, which I do appreciate. Thank you. However, I needed to get somewhere as soon as possible as I had already waited about 35 minutes. I would have preferred to be called, told that my order was incorrect, and I would have the chance to say: It's ok. I have to go, so I'll take it now. Incorrect order was that I asked for no ice in my drink, but still got normal ice. I asked for mild to medium spicy for the chicken but got non-spicy and the chicken wasn't properly cooked as it was undercooked with slightly pink meat still. For the tempura, I asked for mild but got non-spicy, so I was disappointed. I understand that mistakes are more likely to be made during busy times, but that's when an extra hand (A general restaurant assistant for anything, correcting incorrect orders, helping with packing, calling out, giving out updates, helping with the self-kiosk) would be really helpful. Please consider this idea for your current customers and your future customers. Thank you!

Been to this place for boba several times now because it is convenient to restaurants that I like, but I don't see myself going back after my most recent experience. I used the self-order kiosk to order my drinks. An employee later informed me that the drink I wanted was sold out. She did not know how to give a refund, so told me to pick another drink. I needed some time to look over the menu, but she stood there staring me down and rushing me to make a decision. Eventually I decided on a drink that costed a little extra, and she made me pay for the difference in cash. Once I got the drink, it tasted watered down and mediocre at best. The tea flavor was not very prominent. And the boba was a bit tough rather than soft and chewy.

After waiting for half an hour for a cup of milk tea, they told me that the order was not issued. It turned out that they didn't read the order themselves. They are really sick.

Tenju is our go to boba shop. My husband loves their monks blend. Not many places offer monks blend in the area and Tenju has the best tasting monks blend by far. You can call in to place pick up orders. They can get really busy at times. All their staff are super nice. Don't forget to ask for a stamp card. They also offer catering options if you want a gallon of their teas. Highly recommend!

The tea houses decor is pretty beat up. Who cares. I was for the tea. The was was claimed to be freshly brewed.I ordered a peach white tea without sugar. The tea did taste fresh. But the milk tasted like it was from the powder.The pricing is slightly higher than other tea shops. Overall, I wasn't impressed. It gets a 3.3 out of 5.

Tenju has great popcorn chicken and fish cakes! The plaza parking is quite busy due to the numerous nearby restaurants. I ordered 2 drinks and I recommend the passion fruit green tea and suggest it over the strawberry green tea.

At Tenju, the popcorn chicken really impresses you with its perfect balance of tenderness and crispiness. The green tea stands out for its exceptional blend of sweetness and authentic tea flavor, breaking the usual trade-offs you find elsewhere. While the store's size and older style could be updated, the staff's excellent service, especially from Caleb, makes for a satisfying visit. The next time I would rather get 2 orders of popcorn chicken than the fish cake.
Despite it being almost $8 a drink, I keep coming back for more! That's how good this place is. My friends wanted to try this place out on a whim after visiting Franks and Sons. At first, I was skeptical since I am pretty picky and hesitant on trying new places. However, I am so glad that we did. I decided to order their number 2 most popular drink: the Cream Topped Green Tea with Boba. This drink only comes in their large size, but it is fine by me since I would have gotten the largest size anyways. As soon as I poked my straw through the hole, I was pleasantly hit with a sweet aromatic flavor of their tea and the creaminess of the cream top. Their boba is also chewy and elastic- like, just the way I like it. I hate boba where the coating just falls off, but this place definitely serves freshest boba. Their service is standard; everyone is relatively nice there. However, once it gets busy, it does take longer than it should to get out. I ordered 2 drinks once while waiting for my boyfriend to use the restroom. Yet, even though my boyfriend took awhile to finish, the boba took longer than him.. Typically, I wouldn't say it takes that long for the other time that I have stopped by. That was just one time to note. For the ambiance, I would say it's like any other boba spots. They have plenty of seating for people to chat with friends or do homework. Near the restroom, there are two benches for the people who are just waiting for the boba and leaving right away. Not many places have that, so I like how well they take advantage of their space.

This is a cute boba shop with friendly service and a fairly large selection of teas. I appreciate that their drinks are light and refreshing, bringing out the natural flavors rather than being overly sweet and syrupy. They also sell loose-leaf teas and teaware. My boyfriend and I have been here a few times but it wasn't until our recent visit that we began ordering their savory snacks, and I regret not doing so earlier! Having grown up on popcorn chicken and boba, we have pretty high standards and feel like the chicken here is perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. I also love corn and was curious about their cream corn nuggets. They're unlike anything I've tasted before! They look almost like tater tots filled with soft corn bits. A must-try!

if you're looking for some high-quality tea and popcorn chicken, this is where to go. their tea is 100% freshly Brew and you can custom anything regarding to the drinks. My favorite is the monk blend green tea with 1/3 honey instead of the sugar.

Spontaneously stopped by to get a drink for our trip back to Vegas since we were already in the plaza. Their menu is gigantic! I got a bit overwhelmed and didn't know what to get. I decided to go for their most popular drink: Monk's Blend.It took a while for the drink to be ready -- it might be made to order? Additionally, they were super busy! A lot of people were there for drinks and snacks!The drink was really good -- it had plenty of tea flavor!! I loved it! However, I didn't make any customizations to the sweetness level so it was WAY too sweet for me. So keep that in mind when you are ordering any of their drinks.Despite that, I would definitely come back! I noticed they had my favorite tea on their menu: Iron Goddess! Too bad I didn't pay attention when I was looking the first time. I'll have to come back next time I'm in town to get another drink (at like 25% sweet or something) and grab some of their snacks to try!

Rose milk tea: 3.5/5 I got 70% sweet was perfect for me, has rose flavor but not a creamy milk tea. Not bad but not wow, only drank half. Green tea with cream top: friend gave it a 4/5. The server was super friendly and helpful since we didn't know what to order. Restroom wasn't the cleanest or cutest, room to improve. $15 bucks for two drinks.
