Was fortunate to try their stuff before it closed down sadly. I really liked the Korean pear drink from here, was a solid 5/5 and will have to look at others locations.

Very hip boba spot. Menu is somewhat limited, but everything I've gotten there has been great. Love their Korean pear option! Hoping to be back soon to try more stuff. Parking can be tough since it's a busy plaza, but there's more parking underground.

I've visited this boba place a few times and always appreciate their unique menu. However, I was disappointed this time that they didn't have persimmon milk tea, my favorite drink here. We opted for the green grapefruit tea and the injeolmi shake. While the green grapefruit tea didn't impress me, finding it a bit artificial, the injeolmi shake was quite enjoyable!

Cute retro theme little shop and unique drinks. Service was fast. I looooove the shop decor/color theme/music choice! Overall I'll come back. Drinks are around $6.45-$7 which I think is normal!

This is a cute little boba place in Gardena! I mean we mainly came for the photoism but the drinks are very good too!!! I got a Korean pear slush half sweet and it was really refreshing! my sister got a green grape tea with boba and it was very grape flavored The girls working the counter were nice and friendly! The drinks came out relatively quick as well. There are a couple tables and chairs for people to sit and talk inside, and of course, the photoism booth! I would come here again if I was already in the area :) pear slushie: 9/10 (would get less sweet next time) green grape tea: 8/10 (can't adjust sweetness)

Podong Seoul Tea specializes in Korean flavor inspired drinks. You won't find your typical boba shop drinks here. I enjoy most of the unique flavors offered here. I also like that many of their options are non caffeinated. However, I wouldn't visit for boba, their boba has always missed the mark. I will be trying a different topping next time. On my most recent visit, I tried the Injeolmi shake, the flavor was really good but the shake separated quickly and the boba was really hard; probably has been sitting out for a while. You order from a kiosk so there isn't much interaction with the staff. The decor is bright and unique. On one of my visits several months ago they had some board games but I'm not sure if it's still there. There's 2-3 tables inside and a few outside, seems like most people get takeout. Located in the "Gardena Village" plaza just past the Honda dealership on Western and Redondo Beach Blvd, along with numerous Korean businesses. The parking lot on the ground floor is tight, but there is additional parking in the underground lot.

We came on a Saturday afternoon. It's located in a pretty busy plaza square with the tiniest parking spots on the top, but there's underground parking. Inside is eclectic-y decorated with about 4 tables for seating, as well as a photo booth area. It was pretty empty so there was no wait. I appreciated the screen menu that had popular/new drinks. I ended up getting the tarty yogurt blast with boba, but there were a bunch of other drinks that I wanted to try! The drink was nice and refreshing and the boba was warm and sweet with the perfect consistency. Can't wait to come back to try something else!

This place really caught my attention because of how unique it is. I stumbled across this place via TikTok... and my friends also mentioned it as we were hanging out. The ambiance feels very retro/ 80s. I love how Podong doesn't have basic boba shop flavors... but it has a Korean twist to their flavors. I was so heartbroken because i looked at their yelp & saw a black sesame drink and got SUPER excited but they discontinued it! :( I'm a black sesame Connoisseur. Next time I come I really wanna try different flavors! I wasn't fully satisfied with my drink (I got the sweet rice drink). Overall, I give this place a 8/10. My friends and I tried each others drinks and I loved the drinks they got!
