    Mango Tea
    Richard F.

    My boyfriend and I were in town visiting friends for a long weekend. I've been to Chicago too many times to count but we always stay in Lakeview East - which is my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. We made our way to Chinatown which I was there last time but my boyfriend has never been so I was excited to take him. After dim sum we wanted a sweet treat and everyone was walking around with the Bingo Tea cup so we had to try ourselves and see what the hype was all about. It was rainy cold November evening in Chicago but the iced drinks still sounded great. I ordered the Mango tea with passion fruit popping bubbles with 50% sugar level. The drink was so refreshing, it hit the spot! Next time in Chicago I will forsure come here when I want bubble tea.

    Peach and Lychee Jelly Tea
    Eman E.

    Overall nice environment, also a genuinely sweet cashier. She really did foster a welcoming atmosphere and assisted me with coming to a decision regarding my drink. On the downside though I do have to say their peach and lychee jelly tea was not as good as I was expecting. It started strong but the flavor although promoted as "sweet" turned out to be very sour. I do admit, the first few sips were great but after that it was unpredictable. It might have been due to the lime slice inside but regardless I can see the appeal and its potential. Looking forward to coming back in the future to try out their other options!

    Lychee Green tea

    Was looking for a tea shop in the area and chose this one because of their cute Chicago themed cups. After a bunch of questions, I decided on a green tea with fresh lychee and chia seeds. It was the perfect refreshing drink that I was looking for and it came out quickly. I'll be back if I'm ever in Chinatown!

    I was visiting Chicago during the marathon weekend and getting boba from Chinatown was on my to do list. This place definitely met my expectations! I was surprised they had jujube tea since I rarely see that on the menu for most places. I enjoyed my jujube tea with 50% sugar, ice and boba. I like my boba chewy and Bingo Tea delivered! The worker was nice and we did not have to wait long for our order. The shop was clean and had seating. I would come back if I was ever in Chicago again.

    The service we received here was quick. It wasn't too loud of an environment either. So it's a nice place to come & relax if you need to recharge. As for the tea, I got the ultimate fruit tea. It was refreshing, but I personally think it could use a stronger taste. You also don't get too much drink if you get boba because it already comes with a lot of fruit in it. The other drink is the green apple. This one is also good, but could personally use more of a tart taste to it. Just make sure to mix it up if you try it since the bottom or ours had the strongest flavor. It's not a bad place to go, but it's not my #1 spot to get a tea drink personally. If you like lighter flavored drinks, I definitely recommend.

    This is my favorite spot for fruit tea in chinatown and I always get the ultimate fruit tea! I always get it 50% sweet which is the perfect amount of sweetness for me.I love that the tea flavor is strong and shines through, it tastes naturally sweet and they always use a mix of watermelon, orange slices, and berries in the drink. I love to eat the fruit afterwards as well. It's the perfect drink on a hot day as it's super refreshing without being heavy or too filling!

    Got the brown sugar tea forgot the name for the other one but the brown sugar tea was okay a little too sweet. The servers was nice though

    Pistachio Milk Tea
    Quin H.

    Personally did not enjoy the Pistachio tea i got.... It in fact does not taste pistachio LOL It tasted like almond extract if anything- so if that's ur vibe get this drink. I could not finish mine personally HAHA. Passed it around for everyone to try & all the faces they made said more than words could ever But I give it a 3 because the shaved ice that my friends got was good. It was the thai tea flavored with unlimited toppings. Light to taste but rich with flavor!! why did i get boba from here LMFAOOO Oh but the service was amazing

    Nadine S.

    Service was ok The teas were good and not too sweet. The tapiocas balls were good too.

    Pretty nice new boba place in Chinatown. I had the one in Argyle before and had a good experience here as well. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 8/10 SERVICE: 8/10 Staff was nice and knowledgeable and the boba was made very fast. FOOD: 9/10 Strawberry Fruit Tea Boba - 9/10 - The strawberry flavor was really good with a slight hint of the tea. I think if you like more tea flavor then this is a bit weak but I liked it. VALUE: 8/10 PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 Definitely like it and have come back at multiple locations. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Worth it for boba lovers! OVERALL: /10

    Strawberry Matcha, Rose Oolong Tea Sea Foam, Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea
    May G.

    I was craving boba close to midnight and Bingo Tea was one of the only boba places open. They close at midnight!!! The shop is very cute and comfortable. The workers were very nice and friendly and made our drinks very quickly. We got the strawberry matcha, rose oolong tea sea foam, and brown sugar oolong milk tea. The drinks aren't bad at all, but I wish the tea was a bit stronger. The flavors were definitely there. I really enjoyed the combination of the oolong and brown sugar, but again wish the oolong was a bit stronger. As for the boba, it's on the harder side vs soft. It was chewy and sweet. Overall it satisfied my boba craving at 11pm at night!

    Pistachio Milk Tea with bubbles and 30% Sugar
    Tiffany T.

    I came here with some friends and we ordered the pistachio milk tea with bubbles, pistachio milk tea with jelly and pudding, and a roasted oolong milk tea. I did not like the pistachio milk tea at all. It tasted very artificial and completely overpowered the milk and tea flavors. I even asked for 30% sugar. I would definitely not order it again or recommend it. My friend ordered the same drink but with jelly and pudding. Somehow, it had zero pistachio flavor. I don't know if they forgot to add it or everything else diluted the flavor, but I definitely prefered his drink over mine. Another friend ordered the roasted oolong milk tea and I thought it was unique. I like oolong milk tea in general and you can definitely tasted the roasted oolong flavor. But, the milk tea tasted very average and pretty bland. The service was good. Everyone was friendly! I even asked for more tea for my pistachio milk tea to dilute the flavor and they happily poured me some more. Overall, I would not recommend Bingo Tea for milk tea. I gave Bing Tea a 2nd chance this time and I did not enjoy the drinks at all. I don't know how the other drinks are, but I wouldn't come back here for milk tea.

    Kiwi smoothie with milk cap
    Angela Q.

    Easily my favorite spot for fruit teas in Chinatown. This shop is tucked away on the first floor of the mini-mall. Inside it's impecable and bright, tons of great lighting. There's a decent amount of tables and it's a good place to study or come with friends. Their menu is great, but my favorites are the fruit smoothies- which I always add a milk cap to. I add a milk cap/ cheese foam etc to every single tea I drink and Bingo has my absolute favorite milk cap. It's delicious, thick and doesn't melt into your drink so you can actually taste it and enjoy it. Service is always great and the man at the front is friendly.

    Ask the Community - Bingo Tea

    Could you chose your tea (green or black etc) that goes with your fruit (strawberry or cherry etc) tea?

    You can usually ask for the modification and they'll do it!

    Are we allowed to bring in our own reusable cups?

    No cups

    Such high quality cups! Can we bring them back to have them refilled for our next order?

    Sure. I don't see why it won't work, as long as you don't use cold drink cup (plastic) for hot drink (paper cup). Don't think it gives you any discounts though. I've thought… Read more

    Do you deliver?

    I know they deliver via Chowbus (an app focusing on Asian food, especially restaurants in Chinatown)

    We stopped in here after visiting the gachapon arcade upstairs and immediately noticed how clean…read moreeverything was. The whole shop is really cute, too. They have plushies sitting on the couch in the waiting area and a little floral Instagram wall that's clearly meant for photos. We also very much appreciated that they have a bathroom, which isn't always guaranteed in Chinatown spots. I got the large Fruity Party drink and loved it. It had slices of citrus floating in it plus a rainbow of fruit jellies at the bottom. It was both super refreshing and really pretty. I'd absolutely order it again. My sister got the medium kumquat lemon seasons tea. It was super strong and concentrated, which is just the way I like my tea. I learned that I liked kumquat kumquat so that's a fun bonus. We'll definitely be back next time we are in Chinatown.

    DaBoba? More like DaCustard!…read more Wanting a little sweet treat, I stopped into Daboba for a Roasted Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea. I initially attempted to order at the kiosk, only to discover doing so comes with a 3% fee vs. ordering with a human. It's not about the nickels, it's the principle of the thing! I instead placed my order with the clerk - less ice, less sweet. Though it wasn't very busy at the time, the drink came out relatively fast. The service overall was friendly, too! Now, about this beverage... if I'd asked for a "surprise me," I'd be happier. This is because on its own, it was respectable and unique in its custard-like consistency. However, given that I'd ordered a milk tea, where neither the appropriate consistency nor tea notes made an appearance, my happiness and satisfaction levels go down. To give some credit, the beverage I received wasn't too sweet, and had a slight velvety mouthfeel. It was unique and interesting, unlike anything I had ever had before. Final verdict: there is no shortage of boba tea shops around, especially in Chinatown. If you're going to do something different, power to you. However, don't say you sell one thing, and sell another.

    At the Taiwanese, I was very excited to try this restaurant since there aren't many Taiwanese…read moreplaces in Chicago. Taipei Cafe is a small restaurant in Lakeview. There aren't many seats available so it feels like a semi boba shop as well. To sum it up, I would say it is ~70 to 80% authentic, which is not bad in my opinion. Braised Pork Over Rice 招牌滷肉飯: The presentation was beautiful and the flavor was actually pretty good. In Taiwan, this dish is usually more on the sweeter side, due to the sugar and shallots added. Here, it is more peppery and savory, and the flavor was actually really good. The beans and the mustard greens were very delicious as well. Even though the flavor profile is slightly different, this was well made and something I would come back for. Noodles with black pepper sauce 胡椒鐵板麵: traditionally this dish is called蘑菇鐵板麵, which uses mushrooms, black pepper and other sauces as a base. The flavor was good, but I wish that there were more mushroom and sauce to balance the black pepper. In my opinion, this dish tasted very different from what I used to eat, but it is not bad on its own. 2/4 Fried pork chops: the meat was fried very well, and it was pretty peppery and crispy. However, I think there are different spices and flavor missing, including white pepper, msg, garlic, Thai basil, cayenne pepper, and more. I wished that the savoriness and spiciness popped up more, and I thought the spice blend and the marinade could definitely use some improvement. 3/4 Beef noodle soup 牛肉麵: I thought the bone broth was pretty good, but I believe the flavor profile should be wider, like tomatoes, five spice, 豆瓣醬, soy sauce, and more. It was a stripped down version, and I wished that is reflected in the name of the item (renaming it "clear soup" etc). Also, the amount of meat they gave us was a little bit pitiful (there were like four pieces), and there were two pieces of bok choy. When Taiwanese people eat beef noodle soup, we definitely expect more. 2/4 Additionally, I wish the drinks were made with some fresh ingredients (not just syrup or creamer), as standard/good quality boba shops from Taiwan try to make drinks as fresh as possible. That is high ask, but I just wanted to note that as a suggestion for improvement. Overall, I thought the food was pretty decent. Would I say it is the most representative Taiwanese restaurant in Chicago? No. The staff was actually Chinese loll. But I do think it reminds me of some flavors and food I grew up eating in Taiwan. If you like popcorn chicken and pork, it is likely a good place for you.

    Solid, tasty taiwanese food!…read more We enjoyed a mix of dishes (chicken bento box for me, beef noodle soup for my boyfriend, as well as fries with Thai seasoning and a boba tea for me). The green beans came as a side with my bento box and were amazing. The ordering system is a little clunky and annoying but we got through it. Vibes in the space are fine, it's an efficient little cafe The biggest thing is that there's really an opportunity for more sauces! For the fries, for the popcorn chicken, for example, a sauce would make a big difference to dip it in. I like this place and expect to be back
