Is a great place to take the family and have a great time while enjoying great food. The place is well maintain and the restrooms are super clean. The service is great and is better than a 5 start restaurant at extremely affordable prices.
This place took a nose dive since management change. We never come here because was great, it has always been descent but at least the presentation was good, they offered a lot of fun looking dessert so we come here for birthdays. Now most of the better items are taken out and simplified, the presentation looked like a cheap fast food place except they charge a lot more than fast food. None of the desserts that made the place unique was on menu anymore so it really lost its only redeeming characteristic
Drinks werent bad, we tried chamango and Thai tea with boba. The food was horrible though. I was so excited to try the popcorn chicken especially, but was deeply disappointed. We got the popcorn chicken combo, Cornish hen combo, fried tofu and garlic fries. All the food was so oily. The popcorn chicken was crunchy (not crispy..) and very bland. The Cornish hen tasted like steamed chicken with rice.the tofu had good flavor but was so oily and soggy, I wouldnt call them fried/crispy. The garlic fries were the absolute worse out of it all though. SO soaked in oil even at the top, the fries were like mush. Flavor was fine but you dont get fries looking for mushy ones. We ended up throwing away 2/3 or more of the fries because we just couldnt stomach it. And I hate wasting food... Also the combo says it comes with a house salad, well we got 2 combos and 1 questionable bag of salad sitting in dressing in a sandwich bag. We never figured out whether this was for our dishes or if we were supposed to split this tiny bag of salad between two combos. But the lettuce was rotten anyway.parking is convenient though, staff is nice. I ordered ahead and still waited past my pick up time. In summary, I may possibly come back for drinks(probably not) but highly recommend running the other away from the food. 🤢
Tried some of the smoothies here for the first time and was absolutely satisfied with the taste, so I had to take the family and they all loved it
Wasn’t as good as the one in riverside, but nonetheless it was delicious. Will always recommend this place when the squad gets together and we need to get food. Jolie Rancher and Shaken Beef are my favs.
There’s a smal cockroach inside the spoon wrap with tissue! Disgusting! :(
15 min before closing kicks us out while we were still eating and told us to clean our table, rude and horrible customer service. Not coming back to this place.
I love coming to Cha2o. We always get the popcorn chicken, chicken salad, and the pho and sometime the thai tea with boba
Trash dont get the oreo drink.
A top spot for delicious Vietnamese food. got there near five, it wasnt very busy. i had a brother come into town and he asked me to go back here.
Always taste fresh, but the cups are always sticky!!! Ill will admit, the tea is sooo good, but toooo little boba.
I ordered to-go and they forgot to put in one of the add-ons the sous vide egg. That wasnt the worst, the restaurant had put in plastic in their salmon cream cheese egg roll. It was a big piece of hard plastic that got cooked into the dish. See image below for proof. This is a huge health and safety issue. My fiancé bit into it in shock and felt something extremely hard because it was inside and hidden away. He completely lost his appetite, stopped chewing and spat it out.Update: an hour after he stopped eating, he started feeling sick.
This place is amazing! Ive never been in a boba place quite like this. The vibe is very unique with their RBG lights and dark theme.I ordered Thai milk tea and my friend ordered mango bingsu. The milk tea was decent and presented in a glass container. It wasnt too sweet even at 100% which is really good. The boba was soft and chewy which what makes or breaks a boba place for me. The bingsu was decent too. The mangoes werent as ripe as I liked but the mango snow was what made the bingsu stand out.The atmosphere is what made this place stand out for me. Ill definitely come back to try their other food.
Im here weekly. Have a large selection of teas, coffees, smoothies. I always get the green tea with grass jelly. Staff is excellent and always greet you with a smile. They now offer delivery thru app services. Their popcorn chicken is good and noodles arent bad either
Hands down my top 5 places to eat popcorn chicken and get drinks. Manager and employees are very nice, especially the short cute girl up front in the cashier, Kathy very nice and always smiling. Recommend this place! P.S try their Cajun fries!
This place looked very cool. I like the fact that they close pretty late, but I was a bit taken back because they have a B by the health department. I tried their rice and it tasted very artificial to me, so I gave it a second try and I honestly hated the taste of their teas and popcorn chicken... very artificial flavors. Nice spot, but just not for me.
Went in the afternoon and it was surprisingly empty. The staff are young college students that are super friendly and will explain the menu to you if needed. Also super fast and constantly check up on you. Definitely a place for local college students.
Still one of my favorite spots. Fun atmosphere, music, no alcohol (soju dont count), and the food is always delicious. They got rid of a few items that I really loved and I was bummed for a bit... But I just cant stay away. My kids n step kids love this place... Something for everyone.
Wow! Excellent food, huge portions, and great drinks. The whole family loved it! Pho beef brisket with poached eggs was delicious and came piping hot. Kids loved the popcorn chicken and fried tofu. Ended the meal with the fried banana won tons that were amazing!
Dont go here. This place is very confusing and stingy! There is an undefined to go area and you cant bring your order to the tables unless you pay for a service charge. There were not so many people in there. My son had to eat outside in the cold! The place has a fishy smell. This will be the first and the last! I would give this place a negative 1 star if there was one.
The drinks are great, I buy drinks from here often. But unfortunately my last visit I purchased through the Postmates app and they forgot one if my drinks. I just got home was about to relax with my delicious taro loco when I noticed I was missing it. Called them back and the gentlemen that answered didnt sound to concerned just asked when did I want to come pick it up.Im not fishing for free stuff but having to go back and forth for a mistake they made, wasting my gas I wish they would made the second trip back worth it.Other than this lack of good service I love this place and will continue to come back, hopefully that doesnt happen again.
The usual...slow cooked beef brisket banh mi and crimson peach tea. TWICE A WEEK. LOVE IT!
Okay. Expensive. Only accepts 2 cards per group. Banana smoothie was good. Super expensive. >:/ They have a B rating too. Wonder whats going on. And did I mention its expensive? For a B rating too..
This place was nice, and the food tasted pretty good. But to me, they should be a little bit more sanitary with their eating utensils. I never really thought that leaving utensils in a metal container without a lid was sanitary.
I I love this place, dont live srpund it, bit i go oit of my wsy to vome hetr gtest, gtrst food
If you order to-go they almost always mess up. They have forgot to make my order on more than one occasion. Dine in is decent but there are way better boba spots in the area. This place is over-hyped.
Great food and drinks!! I recommend this place I love the coconut boba. And the wings are amazing!
I like going here for small snacks but not meals. The music and TV arent as loud to make you stop having conversations but the people around are sometimes loud. The food takes a while to come out, as for the smoothies but theres a to-do option as well if you dont want to dine in. I enjoy going here a lot for the cajun fries & popcorn chicken. Love the honeydew and peach drinks! As well as the tea.
Very delicious food. Would recommend the popcorn chicken or the naked pork. Thanks for the
Pleasant easy going atmosphere, fast courteous service, good fusion cuisine and fun selection of fruit cocktails.
Like the food...but LOVE their drinks (Drinks are definitely 5 STARS!!!) - SO many options to choose from for every taste . . . cant go wrong here! - Fun and upbeat spot to hang out with friends!
Great service. My waiter was TRISTAN and he served us a delicious almond milk tea also he was very attentive and fast!
Good food, Good place. But the cost increases now and I was expecting to be served more than a small bag of popcorn chicken since its my favorite 🙃 But it stays the same amount but the cost went higher... Hoping for a big change on that 😄
Pros: Options for all people. Vegan, vegetarian, and meat eaters. Drinks are pretty good too.Cons: Because of the popularity items can take some time to get. They use same oil for tofu and meat.
Food is fine, but the song list is very awful. Makes me feel like I’m in a night club. I’m here for food, not for dance and alcohol.
Great place to chill and grab a quick drink. Although food and drinks are a tiny bit over priced for their quantity of servings the drinks are almost always on point! Chill vibe with cool music always playing.
Food was great & boba was pretty good. overall a good experience & the wait was super short
Good innovative fusion food. The popcorn chicken and fish balls are always good. The drink menu is always changing and takeout is open late. Its always full and a late night eating spot.
I dont know when they changed owners or if they even did but this place has gone downhill. Got popcorn chicken and it tasted so bad like they used the same oil for other food and tasted old. The drinks dont seem great and the food quality has gone down. Ive never dined in but everyone complains about the loud music and horrible restrooms.By the way, they have a B which is not good. Ive worked in the food industry for many years and know that getting a B is NOT GOOD.
This place used to be so good. I dont know what happen :/The boba drinks are still delicious
Although I have never had an issue with this establishment in the past, I regret to say, that I am disgusted with what I have found in my boba drink. With that said, I believe that if I have found ground up plastic in my drink it speaks mountains for their cleanliness and lack of due care in their negligent handling and preparation of their products. I tried calling them back but my call was forwarded to no avail which has led me to write this review in an effort to have my concerns heard. If I could I would give them no stars and warn anyone who goes there to beware of foreign object in anything they eat at this establishment. I will be looking to speak to someone regarding this issue!
Just had some dessert. Tried a sweet ice dish. Not a huge fan the cold of the sweet ice made chewing the fruit a little uncomfortable.
Desserts are huge and unique preaentation...do you wish a quick bite inexpensive and with extra topping of style this is your place...
Good slushies and Boba, the Banh Mi is not bad but just okay. Food is good too but their menu is huge so some items may take a while.
LOVE this place. Workers are nice, love the area, gives off good vibes, and plays good music. Definitely recommend
Always an awesome atmosphere and cool place to go with friends. I highly recommend the popcorn chicken.
Would recommend any one of their slushies... Milk teas though, not so much. Looks nice inside, prices are fair.
Food and drinks are great! But information given over the phone is not accurate, it happened twice. Drove 20min just to find out we wont be able to be seated and eat there.
We came here for smoothies and it was a mixed reaction. I like my Tango Mango. Its a little too sweet but I like the chopped fruits with the drink. My friend didnt like her Fruity on the botty. The staff was very hejpful in explaining to us the options. We have to wait for about 15 minutes for our smoothies since there were a few people ahead of us. The parking situation in this area is not so ideal. It may not be enough during peak hours.
Very Awesome Staff! The atmosphere is very appealing. The food is/was very delicious. Everything about Cha2O is great! Would go there again and will recommend visiting Cha2O.
Love coming here on the weekends with my friend. Boba Tea amazing and the music is super lit
Love the popcorn chicken! Chill, lounge-like style restaurant. Great for after club grubs.
This is one of the first few chill out places that I used to go to, and I still go every now and then. I like that you can chat with your friends over some finger foods or have a full-on date and have a nice meal. As you have seen in most of my previous reviews, Im a big boba head so their wide and creative array of boba drinks here are highly appreciated by me ;)
Great place! Great music brings memories of back in the days! Nice atmosphere pretty chill! Food was good! The menu had very good choices to pick from and so far from what I picked it turn out great. They even have cartoons for kids to watch.. very nice customer service! I heard it gets packed but overall I’m sure I went right on time when there wasn’t a lot of ppl hehe 🙃
Good food and smoothies.... But horrible customer service every time I come here. Then when I try to order for pickup, so as not to deal with them, nobody even answers the phone!What a shame.
How does it take 30 minutes to order ice cubes and sub par flavored water? Got here at 11:20pm and we just ordered. Its 11:55pm. There was like maybe 3-4 tables sitting eating in the restaurant. You would think they have it figured out by now.How long have you guys been in this plaza?Why is there only one cashier taking orders with a line out the door?You guys charge $5 a drink and dont have a cent of efficiency.One star for being open late in Cerritos. I shoulda settled for a luke warm can of shasta or la croix.Annnd Still waiting for the drink.
Very cool place to hang out, good boba and drinks. Good prices! Open late 😎
Love this place! Good quality food at a good price.
This place changed a lot. I still come here since it’s open late but it’s just not the same anymore! A good place to take your friends and family. Maybe not a first date though. Musics loud so it might mess your game up lol
Delicious drinks w/ Boba but they take long with orders need to get on that ASAP
Its different.now. the servings are small now and price is went up. You need to request for the second time to the other servers about the water .
The Tango Mango is delicious!! I order it without rasberry swirl everytime. The service is awesome and the fries 😋
Popcorn chicken is horrible. Got food poisoning from their finger foods such as the French fries and their musty seasoning. Drinks are cool but food is not great. Very loud environment also
Boba was cool
Been here often, the food us unusual so if you like trying new things this will be good. Great service and fast food, the music is alright though i preferably dont like to be eating in a club.
Cool atmosphere, fries are really good and the drinks are even better, tried this chocolate smoothie that was heaven! I will definitely be back!
The late night spot in Cerritos. Awesome!!!
I love their thai tea and their popcorn chicken, however its sometimes a little hard to catch a waiters attention.
Wow this place os terrible...i ordered naked pig..took them almost 1.5 hrs and when i col them they said they forgot it...told the server that it will be to go..took them another 30 mins...this place is rediculous..im not going back to this place again..
I recommend the passion twist. It has passion fruit, strawberries and green apple jellies. Thats what I get every time I go there and it never dissapoints!!
I dont know whats up with all the boba places Ive been to but the it always seems like they cant decide if they sell boba or they want to be a night club. It probably sounds like an old person complaint but I just dont like yelling my order over crappy music. Everything on the menu is ok. Definitely not the worst but nothing exciting or noteworthy
Love the vibe and the boba! Its hasnt been too crowded when weve gone. Sometimes just 1-2 other parties while were their..
Went for my daughters Bday, the Fruity in the Booty are the best, popcorn chicken were a bit hard
Barely any service. All the people there were reall busy doing other things. Foods good though.
Food and drinks are great.Custumer service sucks. We orderd popcorn chicken and a chicken and rice dish. It took 20 mins to get the popcorn chicken. Other half was a no show. Our waiter never came by to communicate or check back. We decided we would just stick with the popcorn as we had finished it with still no sign of the rest. I waved over a gal that was just standing there whom made eye contact twice and completely ignored me. Finally got the attention of another waitress passing by. We told her we had been waiting a very long time and would like to just pay for the popcorn chicken. She said she had to speak to her manager because there was a ten dollar minimum for dine in. (No sign in sight stating the fact)We continued to wait. Manager never came! Finally got another servers attention who brought over the check. I had to get up and hand them my check to pay as I was done waiting. Truly ruined my experience despite the fact this is one of my favorite joints.
Love the beef hot pot! Though my friend wasnt impressed by the basil spaghetti... Tasted like pancit, in her opinion.
Really chill, has good music and the food is great.
Great chicken pho! Definitely coming back.
Expensive, unfulfilling, and they completely forgot my friends order, twice
Great tea spot with a variety of menu options including some entrées. Usually jammed packed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Noisy environment. Outside seating is available and tends to be a little quieter.
Drinks are great, has a very young vibe. I would go here and get the fruit drinks or boba, but there are plenty of other better restaurants around if youre looking for a meal
Their boba is always amazing! taro & black milk tea are the only ones i get. ive never dined in, just take out...there is usually a bit of a line when you go in the evening, but thats fine. their popcorn chicken is tasty!
So many varieties for smoothies. Food is also delicious. Pleasant atmosphere
The food can be a bit spicy so if ypu camt hamdle it then ask to make sure that what you order isnt hot
Always love this place. Kids friendly environment.
