"This is genuinely the best boba shop in LA. The boba is incredibly high quality and all the different flavors are delicious. I’ve been coming here for months and it’s ruined some of my favorite boba shops now 😭. The staff are also incredibly nice (s/o to Judy)!!"

"red chai tea takes 5-7 minutes to brew, and given the line i opted for a brown sugar milk tea instead. there was a longish line but it moves fast. you can customize your sweetness level (25%, 50%, etc), which i liked. their classic brown sugar milk tea is very sweet, so i would get maybe 25% next time around."

"Most watered down boba I had. Red straw milk tea had no taste, it was just water with slight hint of tea. Boba was hard and not sweet. Would not recommend for the price."

"I enjoy drinking Redstraw Grapefruit Punch which is good and relaxing. They have many different kinds of flavors which is good. I also enjoy the Mango Mojito which is a Special Drink that cannot be found on their Website. They have a Specialty Tea which I get the Grapefruit Punch. Milk Tea which you already know what that is. They also have a Custom Tea which is you make your own Tea Drink. You can also get Additional Toppings that cost $0.50 which I added for my Grapefruit Punch. So this is one of my favorite places to get a nice cold drink."

"I stumbled upon redstraw during my visit at Century City mall last Sunday afternoon (7/28). The ambiance is very bougie because of the drink prices and white color scheme. Their drink selections sounded promising but their milk teas and strawberry matcha latte without dairy alternatives is a dealbreaker. It's 2024, and many other boba shops and cafes are offering dairy alternatives (soy or almond milk) on their lattes and milk teas. I wanted to try Redstraw's Strawberry Matcha latte but it is only offered in Whole Milk. Please be considerate of any customers who are lactose intolerant and add dairy alternatives to your milk teas and matchas. For the time being, I ordered redstraw's Japanese Sakura Cherry with honey boba. I noticed that the staff seeps their teas naturally for each order. The staff on duty told me it would take at least 5-7 minutes before the order was ready. I waited for less than 5 minutes and it was ready. In terms of presentation, the drink lacked any distinction of sakura cherries on the drink itself. While the green tea tasted naturally, unfortunately I was not fond of the cherry flavor. My Sakura Cherry drink tasted like cough syrup and I do not taste any authentic sakura flavor. I'm sorry Redstraw, this is the last straw of me trying your boba place. What a disaster and disappointment. Everyone else is better off trying Wushiland or another authentic boba place in Sawtelle or Westwood."
