Green Shaker by Ten Ren — Restaurant in Riverside

I wish I liked the food more because overall, I had a great experience. Wasn't busy when I came in, and I was quickly seated. Staff are some of the most attentive and friendly I've seen, especially in these college town places.

I had a mango black tea boba, and it was pretty good. They have a huge drink selection, and it all looks amazing. I will probably return to try their drinks.

The actual food was quite mediocre, unfortunately. I ordered the wonton soup, and it was very bland. It needed more soy sauce, black vinigar, hot sauce, something to enhance the flavor of the soup. The dumplings were overcooked mushy and falling apart in the soup while also being quite bland. Nothing tasted bad, however the flavor was not there. Also, I ordered this soup because it was advertised as spicy however it is not at all even one with the lowest spice tolerance can eat this.

Something that really annoyed me was the fact that the bathrooms were REALLY dirty. The interior of the restaurant was clean and modern but the bathrooms were gross, which makes sense because according to the staff cleaning log, no one had bothered to check the bathrooms despite being open for hours and being slow.

I would have rated lower but due to the fact that I want to come back and try several of the drinks off the drink menu. And because of the nice attentive staff I'll...

I mainly give this place a high rating because of their tea selection here. I have yet to really have a drink here that I don't really like. Their food is just ok to be honest, to me it's really their drinks that shine. The situation at this place is kind of awkward as you can enter from not only the front, but the back. Walking through tables of customers eating is not only awkward for yourself, but for the diners there as well. I've been pretty disappointed by the hot pot they offer here and I would recommend a father drive out to Chino Hills to Boiling Point to get some really good hotpot. My favorite drink that I almost always get from Ten Ren's is the jasmine green milk tea. I always forget to get it with half sugar because their drinks tend to be on the sweeter side. For some strange reason they charge extra into make cold drinks hot, but all of the teas are available as a hot option and just like I've mentioned before you can customize the amount of sugar...

I went here yesterday with my bf and friends as a first visit and I have to say I’m really impressed. I enjoyed the Sausage rice and pork fried cuts with the broth soup. not sure of the name but either way it was really good.

My drink however was a bit off putting. It was a green apple tea. It has a unique taste but the after taste and the taste when you get to the bottom was nasty 😦 I know not to get that again.

But for sure, I’ll try their hot pot next time. It comes with so many add ons that you don’t need to really add extra add on. It looks filling from my friends’ perspective

And there tons of different teas and drinks to choose from and they all look so good. They have boba!!

Theres also take out or you can order a drink from there and overall you get these really cute/cool looking cups.

I can’t wait to come back and try all kinds of different things...
