"At BenGong’s in Arcadia I found a modern Chinese–inspired ambience paired with a vast, chef-driven menu — cream-topped milk teas, passionfruit sparkling teas, cheesy fruit slushes, mango-pomelo sago, and burnt brown-sugar milks — presented with a level of quality that belies its roughly 700-location scale. What really distinguishes the shop is its selection of toppings, from Tibetan hulless barley with a satisfying pop and chewy exterior to multiple foams, jellies, and boba, making it great for drinkers who know what they want and appreciate meticulous attention to topping detail." - Matthew Kang
