From the moment you walk in, some degree of authenticity is confirmed by the mixed chatter of Mandarin Chinese and English. Cool decor of sandblasted glass and plants give it the sleek look of a chain, which I've found out recently that it is. Next door in a connected shop sits a more traditional Chinese tea shop with it's selection of pots and bagged and loose-leafed teas. Sitting at the tables are mostly young people, although the occasional older patron or group will stop by.
The menu is a collection of teasflavored, unflavored, hot, cold, boba, traditionalsure to suit the palate. However, their strength seems to be the tea equivalent of the coffee shop mocha-frapa-choco-drinks with whipped cream on top. They also offer sweet snacks to go along with the tea.
But beware: if you order your drink to go but change your mind and stick around, they'll ask you to leave. Prices for to go drinks are different than if you're drinking there. So make that decision early.
Try one of the Chinese restaurants nearby (I'd suggest Tung Lai Shun just across the street next to the Hello-Kitty-themed store) and then wind down with a tea and grab some of the great loose-leaf tea before heading out.
Pros: good variety in tea selection
Cons: it's not pricey, but it's not cheap either

Don't mess with prettier places. The dumplings and soup noodles at Dragon Mark are delicious, hot, fresh, and cheap. And you can get SOUP DUMPLINGS here. Yes. SOUP DUMPLINGS without waiting in long Depression-era lines. I think it's true love.
Pros: Cheap, Free Parking, Delicious

I love this place. I was there when they still selling hot dessert, no longer tho. Love their Banh Mi, of course. It is unpretentious sandwich place, you go in, get your sandwich, and you get out.
Pros: Good Sandwiches
Cons: Disorderly order line

This is an Asian type of department store since it is located in a large commercial center which cater to the local Asian community. It houses makeup counters, Sanrio type goodies, massage chairs, clothes, and other trinkets and even has a restaurant on the very top floor. It is a great place to shop and eat, and the surrounding bookstores and such really make it a great experience.
