CHICHA San Chen - Sawtelle is a bubble tea shop in Los Angeles, California. It is listed at 11301 W Olympic Blvd #119, Los Angeles, CA 90064, which places it among the local businesses of Los Angeles that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Tea in the United States covers everything from a traditional Chinese or Japanese tea house to a Southern sweet-tea counter, and the fastest-growing segment is bubble tea: Taiwanese-style milk teas and fruit teas with tapioca pearls, sold by chains and independents alike with adjustable sugar and ice levels. Tea rooms serving afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches usually require a reservation, while boba shops, juice bars and smoothie shops are walk-in and quick. Kava and kombucha bars are a newer category, and loose-leaf tea stores sell blends, teaware and gifts, often with a tasting counter. Prices for a drink run similar to coffee-shop prices, with premium teas and cold-pressed juices at the high end.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 12–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach CHICHA San Chen - Sawtelle at (323) 330-4534; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is chichasanchensawtelle.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

It’s NOT TOO SWEET and that’s what I like about this place. They brew the tea right in front of you. Very authentic, good quality tea.

A beautiful tea experience in Sawtelle, but be prepared for the crowd! I visited this highly hyped spot and it was absolutely packed. Even while I was sitting inside enjoying my drink, the line outside never stopped! The Experience: The interior feels like a clean, modern, mini-theme park for tea lovers. They even have a space where you can look at the tea leaves. Before ordering, the staff kindly explains the menu and even offers tastings, which made choosing our drinks so much fun! The Drinks: They offer some incredibly unique toppings that I’ve never seen at other boba shops. The tea itself had a very clean, crisp, and high-quality flavorβ€”absolutely delicious! Pro-Tip: The tea is amazing, but the wait times can be intense. I personally loved the flavor, but I might wait until the initial craze calms down a bit before lining up again. Definitely worth trying at least once!

Had lunch in Sawtelle and walked over to check out this new location. I parked elsewhere but it seems they also have garage validation. There’s a few tables inside and some outdoor seating in the plaza. Lots of customers awaiting their orders but no line for placing an order. Super excited to see the return of the taro series, especially since the SGV and Koreatown locations don’t have it. I ordered the taro milk tea as I’m a huge fan of the taro balls and taro paste and it didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend this drink, or any in the taro series, if you’re a taro fan. Their green milk tea with taro balls is also an amazing drink. Quick service, friendly staff, would come back again.

Unmatched quality of tea. This location also has a tea tasting station that other locations don’t always have, which was a super cool and educational experience. Their honey oolong is delicious. Very cute interior with a few tables, and underground parking lot (with 1 hour validation)

Came during opening week and already know I’ll be back. The space is aesthetic β€”clean and minimal, with ample seating. For drinks, we tried the bubble milk tea, honey osmanthus oolong, and passion fruit green tea with bobaβ€”everything was so good. Fave was definitely the oolong. The boba was soft, chewy, and even served warm, which made a difference. Each drink was perfectly balanced in sweetness, and it was cool watching the teas being freshly and precisely brewed right in front of us. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Great vibes all around!
