“ This was an interesting experience since I've never had like korean flavors in milk tea before. I liked the tables set up with crates - that was cute. Service was also relatively fast. I really liked the Injeolmi and the korean pear teas. The Injeolmi has a roasted nutty flavor and the korean pear was nice and refreshing. The cookies and cream one was kinda weird though - I think it has peanuts or something in it because it tasted like peanuts and my boyfriend is slightly allergic and felt irritated. Other than that, it was a cute place. I might come back. ”

“ A real mixup on the regular tea spots! Surprising in a great fun way! It's a small shop so can't reliably hang out here but there are little chair areas and tvs. Extremely Korean shop & hip -- drinks and aesthetic. Also merch and photo booths for some reason. Would want to try all the novel drinks but unfortunately not enough time ”

“ Went here on a Saturday right around opening and it wasn't busy at all. My drink came out quickly and the person working was very helpful. They were out of a couple of drinks when I was there but they still had the one I wanted to try. Also parking is kind of a pain but the inside of the boba place looked cool. I got the Green Grape Tea with Agar Boba. The Green Grape Tea had a nice balance of sweet and tart! Having the Agar boba in the drink was also a nice addition too! If I'm in the area, I would definitely go back to try some other drinks ”

“ Podong Seoul Tea is a must-go if you're feeling some unique-flavored and Korean-inspired drinks. Their Injeolmi blends are to die for and they have many wonderful drinks other places within the entire county don't. Otherwise, their 'basics', like the milk teas and fruit teas, aren't noteworthy. My biggest and more personal complaint, though, has to be how the to-go coasters do not fit the cups at all. Their cups are long and skinny, and the coasters they give are designed for the normal use wide plastic cups, so milk tea spilled all over my car and one of the cups even broke :( But another side note is the place is super cute and designed extremely well. Someone's passion was definitely graphic design or design in general. ”

“ This aesthetic little boba spot is perfect for those seeking unique, Korean-inspired flavors. The shop is small with makeshift tables and chairs, giving it a casual, laid-back vibe. We tried the Mr. Clause Matcha, Chestnut Milk, and Korean Pear Slush -- all were creative and delicious, though they do run on the sweeter side. They offer seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try. If you're in the mood for something different, this place is worth a visit! ”

“ I tried this place out because I was in the area and saw that this place has chestnut drink on the menu. There aren't many places that have chestnut drinks so I definitely wanted to try this and added the Seoul rice cake as the add in. On a weekday, it wasn't busy so my drink was made quickly. I loved the flavor and the Seoul rice cake which is just like mochi complimented it perfectly! The only downside is that it's pricey but then all boba drinks are around this place these days. I would definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. ”

“ Ahhhh this might be my fave boba spot in Buena Park??? Parking SUCKS cus it's right next to a gym -.- but I swear the drinks are so worth I got the Korean Pear Slush with rice cake mochi which was SO FREAKIN GOOD.. literally 10/10 I absolutely luv Korean pear so I had to get it ofc and it was srsly so delicious. The rice cake mochi was a game changer cus I'm not a huge fan of boba but I will die for mochi so I immediately had to get that as a topping. My sister and I finished the drink within 15 mins We also got the Blueberry Yogurt Blast w boba bc the girl helping us said that it was the most popular flavor between the workers but lowkey it was just ok. We both realized that we don't rly like blueberry flavored things xD We'll try a diff flavor cus I think there were 3 diff options or try a diff drink entirely because there were so many drinks that sounded so good The interior is soooo cute & picture perfect! There's a cute little photobooth inside too so I def wanna try that out next time I highly reccomend this cute lil Korean boba shop to anyone in the area :) ”

“ We heard it all types of boba shops but korean inspired fruit, milk teas, and even slashes? Unheard of for me, I don't know about you! Jumping in with a poppin' and vibrant aesthetic, I would easily say that this is one of the hippest and vibe-ist places you could visit especially around La Mirada AND Gardena! Parking can definitely get cramped here but once you find a spot, the place is very open and plenty of tables and chairs reside inside. ‍‍ The servers within are also a helpful bunch! Often times, you'll see many favorites tagged near the cash register or the baristas can guide you in the right direction in terms of taste profiles, flavors and types of textures! While price isn't flexible, it's definitely usual prices you'd find around town! Especially with these portions! Which is plentiful for you to indulge in the special features for this month; Piggy Bar, a chocolatey and fruitful delight that tastes smooth and sweet! Now I absolutely love chocolatey drinks but not when they're too sweet and THIS landed it! Jaws Bar, a korean-dessert favorite that has climbed it's fruity taste to a fan favorite drink! Not too sweet and very refreshing for those hot days or even while you still have hot food nearby. The sweetness isn't too over complex and compliments each other. ”

“ The aesthetic is aestheticing. Came in around 6 for a quick sip while we decided what we wanted for dinner. My Strawberries & Crème was too sweet for me. It also had a strong caramel-like flavor that wasn't bad but I didn't expect. I love that they used real strawberries. My partners Seoul Thai Tea was so good I wish I had gotten that instead. Usually Thai tea is too sweet for me, but with Podong's version, the sweetness took a backseat to the tea flavor, which was super prominent and definitely the star of the show. ”

“ Easily one of my favorite tea spots ever! I discovered this place a couple months ago with my partner and fell in love with it. From the vibe of the store to the drinks made in house, it's a heaven sent!! The baristas at the counter are very friendly and very knowledgeable about their drinks. I always try to get something different because i love to try their seasonal flavors; this time around i ordered their Chestnut Milk with Seoul Rice Cakes and my partner ordered Green Grape Blast with Lychee Jelly. Chestnut Milk was super super yummy! That being said, I do have a HUGE sweet tooth and found this drink on the sweeter side (be aware that sweetness level cannot be adjusted for this drink). It's a very rich drink that is ice cold, but somehow makes you feel like you're getting a warm hug. It's very rich and very full. Green Grape Blast was such a refreshing treat. It was tart, sweet, and cold! Definitely recommended to drink with Aloe or Lychee Jelly. I will always find myself coming here if they're open for a dessert after dinner. They also have a really cute photo booth in their shop! Don't miss out on them! P.S. bring back the sikhye milk tea !! i miss her every day :') ”
