Hanlin Tea Room

Found this restaurant using Yelp. It was another one of those weirdo craving nights I was craving Taiwanese popcorn chicken with rice dish. I actually phoned in my orders twice and took out those popcorn chicken dishes to go. Yummm. Next time I crave another, I'll drive back here for more Taiwanese dishes.The serving sizes were actually large enough for two meals. Very reasonable here and tasty.Parking was smooth right in the plaza, so there existed plenty of free parking.

I tried the regular milk tea with boba and the guava green tea, and I must say, I've had better drinks elsewhere. The drinks were pretty average, and the boba was a bit too firm for my liking. Will I return for drinks? Probably not.

There are so many great boba joints/chains in the OC that it's hard to stand out. Was recommended this boba place by a friend and it didn't disappoint! I appreciate that their drinks are both customizable and don't seem to use artificial flavoring. The tea taste is strong but not overwhelming. The flavors are prominent without being overly sweet. I got a Guava lemon green tea and it was very refreshing, just the right amount of tart for me.I've read that some people like to study here and I can see why, given that there are lots of tables and the space is clean and airy. The menu has both a plethora of drinks as well as numerous food options (popcorn chicken, desserts, even hot pot) and if I was local I would definitely come here for a warm meal, a drink, and a place to get work done.While I wouldn't say this is the best drink I've ever had (there's a lot of competition), the taste and vibes here are authentic and worth trying.

I came here primarily as a place to study, but I didn't realize that they also served a whole bunch of food items. I thought they only had drinks, but I'm glad I got to have a meal here before diving into my studies. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived and was offered suggestions with the menu since it was my first time. I was planning on getting the popcorn chicken or fried tofu, but I got excited and got hot pot instead with an iced oolong tea. To be honest, I really enjoyed the hot pot (Spicy broth), like way more than Boiling Point or any other hotpot in the area. The flavor wasn't too spicy, but was so flavorful. The toppings too were so savory and complemented the broth well. It's not super busy, so I was able to get a good spot. The music is a bit loud, but headphones fixed that issue. I liked that they had free Wifi, outlets, and big tables which was super convenient! Will definitely be coming back another time :)

Great yummy food! Warm customer service from the employees over the years. My family and I love their drinks & inside the store.

The food was delicious and the boba was so good!! The service is amazing Hana helped us out and she was so nice and sweet! Would definitely come here again! :)

They won't give you milk, they'll give you something else that's like powder. I confirmed with the clerk that I needed milk, and then they changed the milk. They blamed me for not telling me it was fresh milk? What is milk tea? Don't you know it?

Service was great even though it was only one person in the front. Super cute yet simple look to it. Food was delicious I had asked for dry noodles with beef but ended receiving it as a stew instead. I didn't mind at the end, maybe I didn't make myself a little more clear on it. Regardless, this dish had great flavor and the beef was nice and tender. I got three different drinks*oreo *spring tea*passion fruit Loved the passion fruit my favorite, very refreshing. Spring tea was goo too but the oreo one was too sweet. I was told afterwards that you can actually ask to put less sugar on it if you wanted them to. Overall it was very good experience my first time trying Taiwanés noddles.

Dine in for Sunday lunch. We ordered Taiwanese sausage rice and 2 sides dishes are delicious

The vibe in this restaurant is amazing. The environment is clean and the service was great. All the staffs were extremely nice! tdrinks and food were delicious. I will be coming back!
