Four-point-nine stars across 569 reviews. The Las Vegas Molly Tea has the highest Yelp average of any US store in the network, and it’s not particularly close. Both the Flushing and Sunnyvale flagships sit at 4.7; San Gabriel runs 4.8. The Spring Mountain store, which only opened on Christmas Eve 2025, has somehow leapfrogged the older locations on customer rating in less than five months.
Visitors landing in Vegas often have a question that doesn’t apply at the other US stores: is the line as bad as the ones people post about online? Short answer — no. The Spring Mountain location is in a Chinatown strip on a six-lane boulevard, parking is genuinely easy by Molly Tea standards, and the wait at most hours is under fifteen minutes.
What sets the Vegas store apart
The store carries menu items that aren’t on every other US Molly Tea listing. The Chowbus pickup menu, pulled in this session, shows three Hazelnut Choco Lava builds — Jasmine Hazelnut Choco Lava ($7.69), White Champaca Hazelnut Choco Lava ($7.69), and Double Hazelnut Choco Lava ($7.99) — paired with chocolate milk and the brand’s hazelnut cheese top. These are absent from the Flushing and Boston menus and only partially overlap with San Gabriel’s lineup.
The Camellia Oolong Milk Tea ($6.79) is also listed at Las Vegas, currently rotational at most other US stores. The Premium Jasmine Mango Coconut Tea sits in the NEW-IN section here, signaling continued seasonal promotion.
Pickup pricing through Chowbus runs about a dollar lower than what Uber Eats charges for the same drinks (Premium Jasmine Milk Tea at $6.99 on Chowbus, around $7.99 on delivery platforms). If you’re already at the strip mall, ordering Chowbus pickup is the cleaner path. The pickup window matches the storefront close.
Where it is and how Spring Mountain affects the visit
Molly Tea (Las Vegas) 3400 S Jones Blvd, Ste 20, Las Vegas, NV 89146 (702) 918-5122 (storefront, per Yelp) (702) 629-6902 (Chowbus ordering line)
The store sits in a strip mall on the corner of South Jones Boulevard and West Spring Mountain Road, the spine of Las Vegas’s Chinatown district. Spring Mountain isn’t a traditional walkable Chinatown the way Manhattan’s or Boston’s are — it’s a roughly three-mile stretch of Asian restaurants, supermarkets, and bubble tea shops set back from a wide six-lane road, designed around cars. That layout works in Molly Tea’s favor here:
Parking is the easiest of any US Molly Tea. The strip lot has surface parking with regular turnover. Yelp’s verified business attributes confirm accessible parking near the entrance and ADA-compliant access. Compared to Flushing (no on-site lot), Sunnyvale (twelve-space squeeze), or San Gabriel (tiny pad and street parking only), Vegas is straightforward.
Walking distance to other Asian food. Within a block: SaRangChae Korean BBQ, Chubby Cattle (hot pot), and a dozen Vietnamese spots including District One. The drink is a strong palate-finisher after Sichuan, Korean, or Vietnamese — most regulars order it walking back to their car after lunch.
Distance from the Strip. About 4 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, 15 minutes by car when traffic cooperates. Not walkable from any hotel. Visitors from out of town generally bundle a Spring Mountain meal with a Molly Tea stop as a single trip, not a separate one.
Hours and a note on the two different schedules
Yelp’s verified business hours show 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week. The Chowbus online ordering window closes earlier at 10:00 PM daily. The 11 PM Yelp time is the storefront close; the 10 PM cutoff is when the kitchen stops accepting new orders through the pickup app. Walk-ins are still accepted between 10 PM and 11 PM.
The store opened with a soft opening on December 24, 2025 and grand opening on December 27, 2025, per the franchisee’s pre-launch announcements and local Vegas coverage. The early-2026 momentum that built the 569-review Yelp count came from the post-grand-opening weeks and the Lunar New Year window in February.

What the Vegas crowd actually likes
The Yelp 4.9-star average tracks with what locals consistently call out: the floral teas drink cleaner here than at most US chains. The Hazelnut Choco Lava series is the polarizing pick — local reviewers either love the chocolate-and-tea pairing or find it too dessert-leaning to take seriously as tea. The Premium Jasmine Milk Tea at 30% sugar is the safe, repeat-order pick that turns first-timers into regulars.
A real-world data point worth mentioning: white boba pearls sit at $1.29 here as a topping, which is the highest standalone-pearl price among US Molly Tea stores I’ve checked (Flushing $1.49, Boston $0.99). The pearl pricing isn’t a deal-breaker but tells you the Vegas store positions pearls as a premium add rather than a default.
How Molly Tea compares to the rest of Vegas Chinatown bubble tea
Spring Mountain Road has the highest density of bubble tea shops in Nevada. Within a five-minute walk or drive:
Gong Cha has a Spring Mountain location running classic Taiwanese-style milk teas. Tiger Sugar competes specifically on the brown sugar boba category Molly Tea doesn’t really play in. TP TEA (the Chun Shui Tang spinoff that legitimately invented bubble tea) sits at 5808 Spring Mountain Road and is the closest direct competitor on quality positioning. Chicha San Chen is the other premium Taiwanese-style competitor in the same corridor.
If you’re doing a tasting tour, Molly Tea + TP TEA + Tiger Sugar is the three-shop comparison most locals run.
Frequently asked questions about Molly Tea Las Vegas
Is Molly Tea Las Vegas inside a casino or on the Strip?
No. The store is at 3400 S Jones Blvd in the Spring Mountain Chinatown district, about 4 miles west of the Strip. The closest hotel access is the Palace Station, about a 10-minute drive. Most Strip-area visitors take a rideshare specifically to visit the Chinatown corridor.
Why is the Las Vegas Yelp rating higher than the older Molly Tea stores?
A few factors stack. The Vegas store is newer (opened December 2025) and most reviewers are in the honeymoon window before review fatigue sets in. The parking is genuinely easier than other US stores. And Vegas Chinatown is set up for high turnover, which keeps wait times short. The combination drives ratings up.
Does the Las Vegas store have drinks not available at other Molly Tea locations?
Yes. The three Hazelnut Choco Lava drinks (Jasmine, White Champaca, and Double Hazelnut at $7.69–$7.99) appear on the Vegas Chowbus menu and are not currently on the Flushing, Sunnyvale, or Boston menus. The Camellia Oolong Milk Tea is also listed here.
Is the Las Vegas store open late?
The Yelp-verified storefront close is 11:00 PM daily. Online pickup ordering through Chowbus stops at 10:00 PM, but walk-in orders are accepted up to closing. For an actual late-night option, San Gabriel runs until 1 AM, but that’s in California — not a practical alternative if you’re in Vegas.
What’s the closest comparable bubble tea to Molly Tea on Spring Mountain?
TP TEA at 5808 Spring Mountain Road is the closest direct competitor on tea-quality positioning, having been founded by the originators of bubble tea (Chun Shui Tang). If you want a tasting comparison in a single afternoon, Molly Tea and TP TEA are the two stops worth making.
