Redstraw

Had the Arnold Palmer with aloe Vera. The drink is pretty good. I love that they offer the Aloe option, which was fresh and juicy with the right amount of tartness. If you’ve never had it before, ask for a sample of this topping. This is a really refreshing drink for a hot day.

I am a matcha lover and this is one of the few place with that offering. Good flavor matcha latte with sweetness adjustment. I chose 50% and it was just right.

We had BMB it was delicious. Also their boba/tea ratio is really great.

Although it’s fruit tea, it still has a strong tea flavor. I ordered the mango mojito tea and I still can feel the tea strongly. Highly recommend

I definitely love this milk tea place. The ingredients are so good. Just a little bit pricey but I still love it a lot. My favorite is French daisy. Yesterday my bf tried BMB milk tea it was SO delicious. Definitely visit every time I go to century city.

Fresh, organic ingredients. Tea and coffee is brewed fresh so drinks will take a few minutes to make. The coffee mojito is very refreshing. I prefer less sweet drinks and the Redstraw Tea Artist recommended 25% sweetness level — it was just right for me. (You can taste your drink and have them adjust the sweetness if it's not to your liking.) They also offer organic almond and soy milk as dairy alternatives.

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.

Got the coffee sea salt cream. The boba is really fresh and taste great. The tapioca balls aren't too sweet or too bland. It's very chewy and delicious. Will most likely come back again to try other signature drinks.

Got the classic black milk tea with boba, normal sweetness. Boba was nice and chewy. Black tea had a good taste, not too bitter. Tea reminded me of normal boba places. However, it costs about $6, which is pricy for this quality of tea. Staff was friendly and atmosphere was clean. Would recommend checking out this place if you are in the area. 9/10

it’s very mid… I ask for a jasmine green milk tea and I can barely taste anything…

I'm a big fan of milk tea so I’m super glad that Century City has a real milk tea spot besides 85C. I tried the Thai tea, bit it did not meet my expectations. Maybe next time I will try less sugar or other drinks.

I think this place is famous. But when I was there it's big holiday the staff were already exhausted. She tossed change with wet gloves. Not that good feeling. I'm sorry to put this kind of review. Should be careful as food handler.

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.

Online orders apparently just get ignored. So don't order if you're on your lunch break. This is the 3rd time. I've been standing here 20 minutes and haven't been acknowledged even.

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.

They use expired cow milk my daughter felt sick after few sips of their boba tea. And there is attitude at the counter when you wait for the tea . They made the order for people that ordered after us way before they got to our order , making my little girl wait forever and then handing her a drink that was gone bad . Tasted like expired milk. We not going there again. There is attitude and unkindness also served. This was Sunday 5 pm.
