Class 302

The food just okay. 1st, the food take about 25 min to come out, which made the service is abit slow. The food taste just okay. I tasted better popcorn chicken. The atmosphere is cute, remind me back jn elementary classroom :)

Reopened beverage and snack restaurant where you can try drinks and choose your favorite toppings. My favorite are 302 vintage milk tea and Boba 4 season tea. Looking forward to the official open delicious Taiwanese cuisine

Oh, I love Taiwanese snacks and set meals! Still delicious! I've had them since I came to OC! I've been eating them for more than 10 years! The boba milk tea is a self-service choice of flavors! Suitable for people with many tastes, with or without milk, there are also a variety of boba and fruit pulp to choose from!

It’s our first time going to a self serve boba place, pretty nifty idea for sure, execution was pretty good too. Had to wait a bit for the tapioca since it was still being made, but glad to have waited a few minutes for fresh ones, they were soft, tasty and chewy. Lots of seating and there are also savory treats that we weren’t able to try out.

Beautiful new deco- more light and airy - drinks currently - dining and tables are closed off until September 3rd.

Good Taiwanese food. Popcorn chicken is a must try. They also have a lot of milk tea selections. I would recommend the winter melon. We ordered fried rice and beef It was good and the portions were large.

Building your own boba is a fantastic option. You can sample various beverages before making a final choice, and when you're ready for toppings, the staff will add them to your cup. Now, onto the food: The stinky tofu wasn’t stinky, and the popcorn chicken was quite dry. The pineapple curry fried rice and rice with meat sauce were decent, although there was something off about the pickled vegetables and daikon. Surprisingly, my favorite was the pork chop. There's indoor seating available, and a few tables are set up outside. Parking is abundant.

It’s our first time going to a self serve boba place. It was a bit confusing on what to do first. We had to wait a bit for the boba since it was still being made, but glad to have waited a few minutes for fresh ones. They were soft, tasty and chewy. Older lady was very nice and attentive. She was very helpful since I had no clue what I was doing. Lots of seats and the place is pretty clean.

Class 302 has been part of the neighborhood for over 10 years, and those of us who've been coming here know exactly how it works. You buy a cup, choose your toppings at the counter, and the friendly staff will fill your drink for you. During our visit, they even gave us a sample cup to try first because they've introduced new flavors and wanted to make sure we liked them. That kind of thoughtfulness really shows they care about their customers. My friends, family, and kids all loved the drinks today. The updated recipes are even better -- they've reduced the sugar while boosting the flavor, and now offer non-caffeinated tea as well as oat milk options for those who prefer them. This has always been our happy place, and we'll continue to come back and support them. They're currently in soft opening, so instead of criticizing, let's give them a little grace. This is a local favorite, and we're excited to see it growing and improving. Let the neighborhood enjoy what we've always loved about Class 302.

My son wanted to try out a self serve boba place, and we came upon this place. When we came it seems like they are just remodeling their menu bar they did not have anything. It can be confusing when you first go inside because there is no sense of direction on how it works just fyi. 1. You pay first. 2. Ask for Sample cup (to try before committing to a flavor) 3. Choose your toppings a good amount of selections, the staff has to pour it in for you. 4. You have options of regular liquid flavors to slushy type as well. 5. After you have filled up your cup, you then go back to the register so the staff can seal the cup. It was an interesting experience, but I was not a fan of how it tastes. I did not try any food here, since the Irvine location was still under construction. Nothing was on the menu for food wise. Also, I went on a Sunday noon time, the table section was closed off. So it's more of order and go until they fully reopen since it's still soft opening I believe.

I got the combo set picking spicy pork bone soup & crispy pork chop. The soup was very lackluster, tasting like an oily, watered down broth with hardly any flavor. Even the oil was bland & I hoped it'd taste like chili oil. I ordered to go & thought there was a good portion of the noodles but half of it was filled with bean sprouts. The crispy pork chop batter wouldn't stay on & tasted really bland with no salt. It looked like a good amount upon opening it but it was mainly cabbage cushioning the meat. It seems like a good deal for $14.75 but you're getting the most flavorless food. Seeing as it is in Irvine, you're better off getting Taiwanese food elsewhere. As for the boba, I didn't get any because they have downsized the cup. I went here often years ago in college but I was surprised to see that both quality & quantity decreased.

This is a self serve boba place that's a little confusing, as other reviews have stated. It's "self-serve," but you have to ask for staff to get your toppings. There wasn't a large range of teas, but that wasn't too big of a deal. It's a decent place to get boba, but definitely not the best. The system's just too odd and I don't think its worth coming here solely for boba if that's what you want.

They just remodeled so they temporarily only have self serve drinks, but all the drinks are really good! You first pay for the drink cup and then you they give you the toppings you want. Then, there's a boba station were you fill your cup. There's a ton of flavors that you can fill yourself and you get a small sample cup to try whatever flavor you want! They're all really good. The cashier is really nice and the store after remodeling is very modern and nice.

Wasn't sure how this worked. It's a self serve boba place but there's no clear directions. Walk in and cups aren't easily found. Do you pay first? If it's self-serve why does the topping bar present to The customers with spoons and scoopers but has a sign that says see staff? Getting boba should be a brainless activity. This was too complicated and I wasn't about to wait in a line for food if all I wanted was boba. Some signs would make a difference.

I'm so excited that Class 302 Tea Café has reopened -- and wow, they've truly outdone themselves! The staff here is incredibly kind and you can tell they are genuinely proud of their products, as they should be. The experience of creating your own cup of boba is so unique and fun -- it feels like a little adventure with every visit! On top of that, every drink they offer is absolutely delicious. I love that they provide sample cups so you can try different flavors, and to my surprise, every single one I tasted was perfect. Today I decided to go with the Honey Chrysanthemum Milk Tea, which was refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. My partner went with the Osmanthus Tea with Jasmine Tea Jelly, and finished it all before we got home! The newly crafted menu looks amazing, and I can't wait to come back and explore all the exciting changes they've made. If you're in Irvine and want a fresh, fun, and flavorful boba experience, Class 302 Tea Café is the place to be!

I've always dreamed of trying out a self serve boba place. This place has apparently been around since 2014, maybe I heard about it before then forgot but it was a new experience for me personally! How it works is: 1. Pay for your drink (or food, I only came here for the boba experience) 2. Get handed a cup filled with boba, they'll tell you to go and fill it up with your drink of choice over in the self serve section of the restaurant. 3. Request a sampler cup so you can taste other flavors without adding it into your final cup. Go and sample their flavors to see which one you like. 4. Fill up the final cup with ice (if you want), then fill it up with the final drink of your choice. 5. Hand the final cup back to the employee, they'll add any additional toppings you want from their toppings bar (you're not suppose to self serve this it has to be done by the employee apparently). 6. They'll seal the cup up and hand it back to you. One caveat however is the drink didn't taste as great when it mixed with the boba. The boba has a distinct taste to it that messes with the flavor. I remember trying the honey ginseng by itself and thought wow this was great, then when I tried it with my boba I was like "oh wow this really tastes different". It's kind of a bummer and in the future I'll probably not add boba. There was really no way to test it with boba since the sampler cups were kind of small and it'd be messy to not only add boba into the sampler cup but mix it up as well. I really liked the overall experience, but really wished my drink didn't taste worse simply by having toppings in it.

My friend loves boba tea. We were in the area and decided to check it out. We both absolutely loved it! You can customize everything from the boba to the tea and they even have freezes you can have. So delicious! And you pick your own items. They do allow sampling too so you can get exactly what you like. Line was long on a Saturday but it went fairly quickly.

This is my family's go-to spot for their Taiwanese-inspired street dishes and small eats. The interior decor and furniture has been purposely designed to be reminiscent of classrooms in Taiwan, which is a nice & nostalgic touch. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM and it took around 20 minutes for us to get our food. Stinky Tofu (4/5) - Definitely an acquired taste! It's paired with pickled cabbage and a slightly sour/sweet/spicy sauce. My parents have both tried this dish and said that it's accurate to what they used to eat in Taiwan growing up. - Would recommend for anyone who loves stinky tofu, but this definitely isn't for everyone! Popcorn Chicken (4/5) - Nice and crispy. Flavor is pretty good, although I wish there was option for it to be a little spicier. Paired nicely with the stinky tofu. We've tried other items on their menu before (like their pork noodle soup) and the taste was more average. Overall still an affordable spot, and worth checking out if you're looking for a more casual setting and some quick bites.

This is such a fun concept - self-serve boba tea station. Boba here is always fresh and chewy, and the milk tea can be little sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness level. They also have other food, but honestly, I have only had their boba. Overall, its a great casual place to grab a meal or hangout with friends over boba with good service.

- Menu choices: lots of self serve milk/fruit teas and smoothies - Drink adjustability: 2/5 (drinks on tap) - Seating: 3 booths w/outlets + a couple small tables w/out outlets - Crowd: chill, fills up starting 5pm - Parking: shopping center (Marketplace) - Features: 1 restroom, self serve water - No public WiFi :( Came to Class 302 to do some work and was disappointed at the lack of WiFi, but liked the amount of available seats/outlets at 4pm on a Wednesday. The server was helpful since it was my first time This is a self serve tea place, so you can't adjust sugar or dairy options. There's a standard size/price for the drinks, you can sample the flavors, and then can choose as many toppings as you want (and they have lots of options). The fun part is you can mix flavors as you wish! I mixed the matcha/wintermelon milk teas and added boba and grass jelly. It was very sweet but fun to make my own flavor. Recommend for a chill hangout/date or if you're feeling creative.

Souless remodel stole the whole adorable feel of this place and left it generic and less cozy. New chairs are far less comfortable and new chairs and tables are far too tall. Not sure I'll bother coming back.

Dear lord food is so good !! I have missed coming here as I no longer work in OC. Down here to work on my parents house and thought why not?! I got the cumin chicken and spicy basil fried rice son got braised pork chops and rice with meat sauce. Everything was excellent. If you're in the area you should definitely try this one!!

Thought this location is permanently closed. Just stopped by today and it is temporarily closed instead due to renovation!

While a far cry from its heyday and there are so many other Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine options in Irvine, though admittedly not nearly sufficient or good enough, there's a certain classic flavor with Class 302 that can be rather nostalgic even if the food can feel slightly overpriced. It's a slight premium for what is ostensibly takeout, and sometimes they take too long, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't hit the spot sometimes. What I'm usually here for is the drinks, and they have that sort of old school flavor that feels slightly more artificial but sometimes you're looking for that amidst the glut of all the too heavy tea emphasis of the newer places. Sometimes you're just looking for something coming out of a spout, and maybe you're crazy and want to mix flavors, and they will let you do just that here. One thing that is great is the variety of toppings, and though it's not self-serve and they will definitely sometimes put way too much where you basically just get a sugar bomb che of boba toppings, sometimes that's just the way things shake out. TIP: Let them know what toppings you want upfront so that they portion it a bit better, and mix any milk tea with coffee to get a unique combination that's a deviation from your usual coffee milk tea.

I missed class 302 so much since they closed their OG site in Rowland Heights. I'm so glad now I live close by the Cerritos one and Irvine. I came by pretty late and there were still a lot of people lined up! I got their stinky tofu and mushroom because I love them and they are my guilty pleasure lol. The staff is knowledgeable and not as friendly. Maybe he's just tired, but he did fill up my drink with more milk because I told them all the drinks are too sweet for me. They have plenty of seats and definitely plenty of parking in the plaza. The vibe is pretty cozy!

Came here last night and love it here! The self-serve dispensers make it so fun to sample different tea and smoothie options with the sample cups and mix drinks if you want. It is also all for a great price! You pay less than $6 for the cup and then you can choose from a bunch of different toppings to add (with no extra charge!). My only advice is not to get too many toppings otherwise you have less space for your drink. The boba is not the best but they have so many options for toppings-- I got coffee jelly, taro pudding, and filled it with mostly their 302 Milk Tea and some Honey Green Milk Tea! Service was good and after filling our cups, they seal it for you! We also got an order of regular fries, they do have sweet potato fries as well, but these were nicely seasoned as well and were so soft in the inside while being crispy.

Food****// food was great I don't know why eating this low but portions are good consider in Irvine and taste not that salty. Service***// service was ok and I think that was probably the reason why but tbh this is not a high end restaurant so to me it was fine. They asked what kind of toppings u want for boba then self serve to choose your drink which is cool to me Ambiance****// I really liked their interior which is one of the few authentic Taiwanese theme that reminds of childhood school time... all the decor like chalk board, tales or chairs even the writings just very nostalgic and retro

They don't have as many options as the Cerritos branch. They didn't even have the bento boxes! I got the braised pork chop and it was pretty tough. The minced pork rice was also kinda mediocre. They do have a drink bar so that was pretty cool. The service was pretty fast though.

Came here for the first time since the remodel and they took out the best flavor they offer, the passion fruit green tea. Got the almond milk tea which was average would not get it again tho. Service was very nice and place look very clean.

Buyers Beware!!! If I could give zero stars, I would. I ordered TWO popcorn chicken today and what I got was 70% cabbage and disappointment. For nearly $19, I expected chicken -- not a sad salad. Each container had maybe one sliver of actual popcorn chicken, buried under what felt like an entire head of shredded cabbage. This isn't a chicken dish, it's a cabbage scam. I'm not sure if they ran out of chicken or just don't care, but either way, it's unacceptable. Don't waste your money unless you're craving overpriced garnish. Total ripoff. Never again.

First time here at the new location. I like the ambiance, mích less crowded than the previous location in City of Industry. Also, love the drink bar, not pricy and good amount of choices. I ordered the popcorn chicken and calamari. Both were good. Price wise, it's decent in today's economy...ugh...that is another subject not relevant to this restaurant. I've already had boba today, but would definitely come back another day with my family for boba and dine in food.

It was comfortable and had plenty of options. It would've been nice to know what the process was walking in here. Had I known I had to walk up to the counter to get cups perhaps I wouldn't have gotten yelled at to get a cup overall lots of oxygen and drinks are good haven't ordered food yet. I think that's about 85 characters

First time coming here and the boba and food is so good! Will definitely go again! Service was excellent!

The self serve boba here is fun and cool to do, the drinks were decent not the best I've ever tried but its fun to try.

Located near UCI and in the same plaza as Eholesome Choice. They used to have shaved ice years ago but now they just sell Taiwan small eats (appetizers noodles or rice dishes) and boba is their thing now and the indoor store has a fun vibe. Decorated like Taiwan classroom so you see little desks and lots of backpacks hanging around the store. Came here for boba. Many milk tea flavors. You buy a cup and fill it with your own combination. My favorite is oolong tea with egg pudding and boba. Yum!

Good Taiwanese place we follow since they were located in Culver. MIND THAT They are currently CLOSED DUE TO RENOVATION ...last time I checked was 5/30/25

ive been here a couple times, just tried the food. the popcorn chicken is alright light and crunchy but kinda but the spicy miso udon is a bit odd, bland and oily. service is okay, theres decent indoor seating. upsides are the drinks, they have a good selection of drink and toppings, i like their honeydew slushy and their wintermelon tea. tldr: only go for the drinks

Came here with a bunch of friends on a Saturday night. It was pretty packed but don't really understand why. The food was really lacking. They have these combo deals. You choose an appetizer with a main dish. We elected for the cumin chicken + basil rice, popcorn chicken + curry rice, and a la carte oyster intestine noodles. Everything lacked flavor. I think I only enjoyed the cumin chicken. But I could see why this place is so popular because of it's boba drink. They charge you a set price and you get unlimited toppings and they have self serve machines for the tea. They had a large range of toppings from boba, grass jelly, popping boba, pudding, milk pudding, taro and so one. Tea selected range from fruit teas, milk teas to smoothies. I enjoyed the unlimited toppings but I definitely won't be back for the food. They are located in a large plaza so plenty of parking available.

This place is so good. This was the first self serve milk tea I've been to and it was so good. Felt like a yogurt land except for boba. Service was good but they ran out of all the toppings when I went.

Please add a clear sign or glass barrier in front of the drink topping counter if self-service is not allowed. We were told to help ourselves, but when we did, the staff stopped us rudely and stared at us. It was our first visit--and unfortunately, our last. The stinky tofu and popcorn chicken dishes were mostly filled with cabbage, which was disappointing too.

This place is a small but serves up Asian style drinks like the wintermelon tea and other tea based drinks and slushies. Choose your accompaniment like boba, black jelly and the like. Besides drinks, they serve Taiwanese style quick serve items. They are open fairly late so it's convenient when you want a late snack or beverage. Again few seats here and there and there is also a common outdoor area for the plaza. Verdict - good place to grab a quick boba and some small quick food.

This was a really fun find. The restaurant feels like a mini history lesson in midcentury Taiwanese culture. I loved the classroom desks and seats, the glass cases full of old toys, and magazines and other memorabilia on the walls. I would go back just to take in all of the things on the walls. The menu was a bit bewildering. You can get a combo of one food from group A and another from group B. Some items from group A and B were available a la carte, but others weren't. If you want lots of vegetables and few carbs, this is not the ideal place to go. You can get baby bok choy and various iterations of tofu a la carte, but most of the items are noodles or rice. I ordered the beef noodle soup. As I had hoped, the beef was tender and generous. The broth was not as complex as I anticipated, but it was still pretty good. The baby bok choy tasted like it was boiled separately, and it didn't take on the flavor of the broth. I liked the chewy noodles, but my mom didn't. My mom seemed to enjoy the miso seafood noodle soup broth, and the seafood itself was also generous. Something didn't agree with her afterwards, though. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. We ordered at the counter and got a buzzer, but the staff kindly brought our trays to the table. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. I might go back to try the boba tea.

I've been here multiple times and have tried everything from their drinks to snacks and dinner items. First off, I love the variety of teas and slushy you can choose from and all the topping as well. I love that you can mix and match everything and create your own drink variation. For snack foods, the fried fish cake is a must. It's so chewy and the perfect texture and seasoning. Popcorn chicken is also a must as well. For dinner items, their house fried rice is simple but delicious.

It's a fun experience for kids getting to pick their drink and their toppings, but the drinks were too sweet and I'm not a big fan of boba that isn't made to order. The unsweetened tea was quite bitter. If I was here during another lunar new year event and my kid wanted a drink I'd get it. But I'm definitely not going out of my way to come here again.

A staple hang out spot when I was in high school, and while the concept of self serve milk tea is cool, their drinks aren't that good.

We come here for the shaved ice - talk about picky with sweets - if the shaved ice aren't finely shaved like snow, it just doesn't hit the same - unlike this yum place. Can't go wrong with any flavor, just get it. We love the cute classroom vibe, I docked 1 star because the table we sat on happened to be sticky & we had to clean it up by ourselves.

Building your own boba is a fantastic option. You can sample various beverages before making a final choice, and when you're ready for toppings, the staff will add them to your cup. Now, onto the food: The stinky tofu wasn't stinky, and the popcorn chicken was quite dry. The pineapple curry fried rice and rice with meat sauce were decent, although there was something off about the pickled vegetables and daikon. Surprisingly, my favorite was the pork chop. There's indoor seating available, and a few tables are set up outside. Parking is abundant.

Plenty of parking shared with other businesses. I got the combo meal of popcorn chicken and noodle soup. Light flavor and super yummy. Would come back!

Thai tea slush is soooooo good, gotta get it every time. Another notable mention is the popcorn chicken and the sweet potato fries. OH I can't forget the bacon fried rice. Sooooo good!

I used to come here all the time when I was a kid. Their self service boba is so nice and I love that you can pick what and how much of each topping and drink you want. I miss when their cups had a 32 oz. option. Those were soooo nice! Their boba quality has gone down over the years so I was a little disappointed by the texture of the boba. But otherwise everything else tasted pretty decent. Their popcorn chicken had a deceiving amount of actually chicken in it. Opening the box, I thought the whole box was full of it, but a massive portion of the bottom layer was just uncooked cabbage. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage cause it was pretty flavorless and hard. The popcorn chicken though is very good with a nice texture.

food poisoning! We used to like the old class 302 a lot but this place is definitely going down hill. My husband and I got the food to go and we both ended up having bad stomach diarrhea and throwing up after eating. Either the food is not fresh or the kitchen is not meeting the hygiene standard. Sadly will not come again.

First time here Monday night 01/20 around 9:30p. Walking in we were greeted by a female bobarista, super sweet an let us try drinks before even ordering. She seemed to realize that it was our first time there and was patient with us. When we had made out decision we came back to a guy at the counter. He was super rude. When we told him what we wanted he replied with "k" and asked "what topping" with no emotion whatsoever. When we filled our cups and came back to get it sealed, but we were waiting on the other side since there were customers being served. Then the guy says "put your cups here". As if we were going to reach in between customers to get our cups sealed. I dont think he should be at the POS if he is going to be rude like that.

I haven't been to Class 302 in a while - and never to this particular location. My SO and I were craving our 302 favorite, the spicy pork bone noodle soup, so we headed here on a week night for dinner. Plenty of parking since it's at the Marketplace - FYI it's tucked away into a corner. We both ordered the spicy pork bone noodle soup combo - I got it with the pork chop and he got it with the chicken. Noodles were good, but soup was not quite as I remembered it - seemed to lack some depth. We also tasted a bunch of the teas (ask for tasting cups!) which were too sweet for us. We found that the slushes were the least sweet, so we got a Thai tea slush and milk tea slush. Both delicious and a great deal since usually they charge higher for slushes at other places. Overall still good for what it is and now I want to go back and try out the lunch boxes (also miss those!).

I had high hopes coming to this restaurant because I remember Class 302 being super popular back in the day where there was a long wait to be seated, and also because I love Taiwanese food. But I was pretty disappointed. The best thing at this place was the popcorn chicken and the self serve boba. The other two dishes I ordered were underwhelming. The beef noodle soup didn't have much flavor, and the beef was dry and flavorless, even though it was sitting in soup. The rice with meat dish also lacked flavor, and the texture of the meat looked like cat food - it looked nothing like what was pictured. There was a constant line of people ordering self serve boba, and very few ordered food. Not sure if I'd come back

Cockroach... Food was brought over to our table Cockroach was walking all over the tray See picture:

Closed for renovations - we love this restaurant and can't wait to revisit when it opens again!

Strange name. Convenient location with quick and accessible parking providing that the curbside to go spots are open. The middle aged woman who works the counter doesn't really understand English so it's not possible to really communicate with her beyond asking for a cup or her collecting payment The milk tea is very good and there are a good number of flavors to pick from but it seems a little too pricey-$6.20 for only size.
