Tan-Cha

"The interior is running down! The Zion market close to is set to close down - I have a general sense that the plaza is in a tight financial spot … There is a leak in the ceiling and the bathroom reminds me of a gas station bathroom. I had initially stopped by as a little break after grocery shopping for chuseok. I asked what the staff recommended as a light drink. The super fruit tea and strawberry green tea were recommended. I asked for the super fruit tea, 50% sugar, and less ice regular sized $6. I added popcorn chicken, which you have the option to choose to have spicy $4. The chicken is greasy for my liking. The tea on the other hand was wonderful! Just the right amount of sweetness, and I loved how they added slices of fruit to my drink. It’s better than just pure syrup."

"Tan-Cha is an elegant tea shop that is very classy. Service was fast, cashier was very nice, drinks were custom made to order and mine was delicious! I highly recommend the royal ceylon milk tea with tiramisu foam. The cup is so nice I want to save it and reuse it. The spoons are little shovels."

"I was craving Tan-Cha in the middle of the week and definitely was able to satisfy my craving! I first had it in Hacienda Heights, then was super excited when it came to Garden grove... And now it's in Irvine! I love the drinks here, but it seems like the Irvine one has a limited menu? The environment is way classier that the other locations, but sucks we can't sit and dine just yet. We got there when it wasn't super busy and then all of a sudden at least 10+ people came into the store. It was a little difficult to social distance because people were just congregating, but I did my best to move away from them. The workers seem to be overworked and stressed seemingly bc of the amount of UberEats and other deliver type orders they were also receiving... In terms of drink quality, it was good. The cups are cool- reusable with a swivel lid for the part where you drink. It seems smaller than the cups at other locations though, but not sure. The other cups are taller and more narrow so may be the same. I got the #1 fave with tiramisu foam and it definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back when I need my tiramisu/cheese foam fix!"

"This was my first fluffy pancake experience! It was amazing and the tea was very pleasant. Tan-cha is clean and modern looking with a friendly and efficient staff"
