LUCKY Cha

Batter is ladled into the iron and baked fresh to order, sending up an enticing aroma of gently toasted egg. The thin edges of the Hong Kong-style waffle shatter with a light crunch, while the bulbous spheres remain airy within, delivering a satisfyingly chewy bite. Diners can finish them with toppings such as chocolate, matcha, black sesame, or peanuts, or opt for ice cream waffle combinations pairing scoops like vanilla or strawberry.

Equally prominent on the counter menu are the specialty teas and lattes loaded with large, springy tapioca pearls. From Okinawa brown sugar boba lattes to variations layered with kinako toasted soybean flour or crushed Oreos, alongside refreshing fruit infusions such as fresh kiwi jasmine tea, the drink lineup offers plenty of ways to match the day's craving.

Savory cravings are answered as well, with fried chicken tossed in honey butter, sweet-and-spicy yangnyeom, or garlic soy sauce, alongside crisp cheese balls for a quick snack. Orders can be packed to go or enjoyed at the shop's counter seats, and electronic payments including PayPay and Rakuten Pay are accepted.
