Cha Cha Tea Spot, San Diego CA

I was lured by a review picture and ordered Kung Pao Chicken for take out. Thanks the chefs consideration and replaced most of chicken meat with white onions. That is so healthy and I can still image I was eating white meat. But be careful when you place the same order if you are not an onion lover.

Pork Sui Mai and Sticky Rice were very good; servings are expensive, but they're also large and good for sharing.

The worst Chinese dining experience that I have had. We ordered pan fried pork bun and spicy garlic pork, none of them are satisfied. This place is expensive as well. Feel like there are better choices with the price

Shrimp fried rice was good, not oily, and rice softness was perfect for the fried rice. Chicken feet dimsum was good just a little bit too salty. Crispy squid salt pepper was great.

Enjoyed the garlic broccoli with wonton noodle soup. It’s a shame it isn’t spicy, but you can request that if need be.

Amazing and super friendly customer service. Our food was delicious! The food came out fast and hot, would recommend to anyone!

It's edible if you don't care about the lack of flavor.for everything ordered. Not classic Chinese food. Real Chinese food is Hong Kong style. This isn't it.

Wonton Noodle Soup: Noodles were hard and there was not enough broth. Too much random vegetable filler with the broth.

Kung Pao Chicken: Flavorless. How? I don't know.

Shrimp Har Gao: Flavorless. I usually eat this dim sum item with my dog and she won't touch this. She's a walking garbage disposal.to what she's allowed to eat.

Lotus Sticky Rice: There was flavor here. Just not the correct flavor and too much of it. I think someone got very heavy handed with adding 5 Spice to it. That's all I tasted. Individual ingredients had no flavor. How does this not have flavor?

Scallion Pancake: Again no flavor and the taste and texture.was similar to cardboard and construction paper.

Again, how does Chinese food not have flavor? How can someone not make Chinese food correctly? Not the worst Chinese restaurant (this title belongs to Hong Kong Restaurant in San Diego). The food is edible, just not enjoyable.at all.

It was a convenient food court inside 99 Ranch Market. Might not be fancy as a normal restaurant, this booth provided comfort family dishes after an energy-exhausted shopping.

We ordered 2 Chinese Sausage Claypot and two other dishes with 2 milk tea and it costs 77.
The Claypot needs a 30 minutes wait and it’s very expensive so I have really high expectations. But it turned out that the Claypot is full of normal white rice with some microwaved sausage. I don’t even know how it took 30 minutes and 17 dollars. It doesn’t look like the picture at all.
Also the milk tea sucks!

Took way to long to get my boba and waiting for my food, took 30 mins to get it.very slow.and bad service

THE WORST experience I’ve ever had. The Chinese sausage claypot rice is a total JOKE, $17.99 with plain steamed rice, a few pieces of microwaveable sausage 2 bok choys and have to wait for 30 mins for it? Had to take out my own sausage and it’s 100% better than theirs. This is some bs place that should be closed permanently, gonna recommend it to someone I dislike for sure!

Foods alright, same with the drinks. Nothing special and definitely overpriced for its quality and portion.
This clay pot rice was 17.99.and it’s as plain as you could’ve imagined.

Awesome vegetarian dishes, considering it is a tea shop in a food court. We ordered shredded potatoes, and tofu with vegetables. They were tasty and seasoned very well. We would definitely order more when we are here for shopping, and don't have time to cook.

Overpriced considering the quality. I had a simple beef lo mein and a spicy fish soup. The fish soup was ok, though a bit too spicy. They should ask the desired spiciness at time of order. The beef was overcooked and the sauce was just terrible. These two dishes cost me $26. This place is a take out stand inside 99 Ranch Market. For this price next time I'll go to a sit-down restaurant with better quality food.

Foods good but the bubble tea was disappointing. Waited 5 mins for it to be made and they didn't mix it well and there's clumps of the sugar at the bottom. I would have been fine waiting for them to remake it but they didn't seem to care. The person making it even saw it cause he was mixing it to try to dissolve it as he handed it to me.

(Ordered via doordash.) This restaurant has AMAZING food. Their xiao long bao? Amazing. Their BBQ Pork puns? Amazing. Their honey chicken and their sweet n sour chicken? Perfection. Their young chow fried rice? Good stuff.
Honestly, I'd reccomend just about any of their food. I was very impressed:) I'm likely to purchase from them again someday.
(And as I write this, I'm enjoying one of their BBQ pork buns:) )
So all in all, I 10/10 reccomend.

Pretty good place for a rather quick bite. We come here when we visit ranch 99 next to it if we feel hungry. We tried their fried rice a while ago and it was good. This time we went for beef chow fun that you can see on the photo. It was not too oily and was quite satisfying. We also ordered passion fruit slushi and honeydew milk tea with boba. Honeydew had a lot of ice, and tasted pretty watery after 5 minutes, but still tasty. Passion fruit slushi had more bright taste, but was so frozen that even the boba got hard and was hard to chew! Overall, a good place and we may come back when we visit ranch 99 next time.

I got delivery and it was late and cold. No boba in my tea even though I paid extra. Would not order again.

This place is over priced and a big let down. 16.99$ for some heat lamp food. Poorly cooked honestly pick up sticks or panda is better. Won’t be coming back!

Somewhat close to 626 area food. So far best in SD for these items (chicken fish fried rice, tofu, fried fish.)
