My dad and I came mid afternoon and they were quite busy. A few of their tables were occupied and many people were picking up orders to go. I ordered the brown sugar matcha and my dad opted for the lychee freeze with boba. Both drinks were delicious! The boba was the perfect texture. We will definitely be regulars!

Only if I'm in the area and craving something cold would I return!

I ordered the spicy chicken ramen (mild), but in my opinion it wasn't exactly mild definitely had a kick! Still delicious, but it had my nose running a bit. I'm giving 4 stars mainly because they don't have a kids menu. We ordered a rice bowl for our son, which was good, but the portion was pretty large for a child. Also, the staff brought the check while I was still eating, which made it feel a little rushed. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Visit here for the first time because I did a Chicagoland junk journal club meet up. It was a…read moreSaturday morning and tons of the businesses around them were open so I had to keep driving past it to find parking in the lot. When I got in, there was a lot more space than I thought. That was nice because I only worry when I go to places for club meetups that I have squeeze into tight spaces. Walking in for a bunch of things to like shop around such as blind boxes and jewelry. There was Smiski and Sonny Angels so I got a box of each. I was so excited because lots of places either have fakes or it is sold out. I got two kinds of boba drinks-a Okinawa milk tea and a passionfruit and Yuzu mix. Both very tasty! If I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back and there's usually a meet up there which is really nice because they offer a lot of things to buy so I can support their business more.

Well I saw someone comment on this place in a Facebook group. I never heard of this place so I ran over the next day. Had their Chicken Sandwich which was divine! I had it exactly how it comes. Served on a fluffy brioche bun with homemade cole slaw and some other sauce? Yumm! Fried to perfection. Appeared to be handmade (not frozen) huge and crispy! Easily could share! This place is nothing to look at but could be a gold mine if they did some easy cosmetic changes. Next time I'm getting their cheeseburger which came highly recommended? The owner was super sweet as well. Go with an open mind. Fantastic food!

You order at the counter and you either pick up your food or it will be delivered. The restaurant is very clean, has wooden booths and tables. They also have a cart with games and slso sketchbooks at each table. My husband and I started out sharing the takoyaki, which are octopus balls. My son introduced me to this dish and I am obsessed with it so I was happy to see it on the menu. They didn't disappoint. My husband had a Mongolian udon bowl and I had a poke bowl. Both of us customized our bowls and chose what we wanted in them. I like that we are able to do that. I also had a taro milk tea with tapioca pearls made with almond milk. Everything was delicious and fresh. We'll definitely be going back here again.

AS GOOD AS GOLD The…read moremagical broth at this ramen spot in Bolingbrook is 24K of richness. Gung Ho operates on the northwest corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, next to ALDI and a nail salon. Over the years, we've only had carryout/delivery so I can't comment on the dine-in experience....though I have seen a shelf with various card games on it I'd love to take advantage of. Staff are friendly and orders have always been ready on time. My wife usually gets the Shoyu ramen ($15 w/sliced seaweed, garlic oil, spinach) and I always get the miso ramen ($15), a traditional broth with choice of protein, soft boiled egg, green onion, corn, and bamboo shoots. I devoured everything except the bamboo, 'cause I'm not a panda. The pork chashu (braised pork belly) is some of the BEST I've ever had, marvelously fatty with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. If you're feeling extra hungry (or are really into anime), you can order the Goku ramen bowl ($22) which includes chashu, shrimp, grilled chicken and fried chicken. Maybe eating it makes you go Super Saiyan?? Their ramen has 4 options for spiciness: a 'little' spice, spicy, spicy ++, or a 'spice bomb' on the side. I've ordered normal spicy and it's been perfect every time; I'm worried anything hotter would work against the delicious flavor profile of the broth, which I do not want to mess with. Gyoza (6 for $8) are tasty, especially when dipped in the garlic ginger-soy sauce. Crab Rangoon (6 for $7.50) come with a sweet peach sauce, another great choice for appetizer. If you're not feeling ramen, Gung Ho also has poke bowls ($13), Mongolian stir fry, and a teriyaki bento box ($14). My wife loves their coconut milk tea ($6), and she insists on getting one every visit. I've tried the banana milk tea and the Thai iced tea, both were tasty. You can add tapioca pearls, popping boba, or fruit jelly (lychee, mango, strawberry) at no extra charge. They also have an "avocado milk crush", whatever the heck that is. * TL;DR * Tanaka Ramen in eastern Bolingbrook was our go-to for several years, but I think Gung Ho edges them out in terms of quality. The miso ramen is an umami explosion and the milk teas are great. Prices are fair with an interior that encourages hanging out (sketch pads and board games provided). Gung Ho offers good vibes and some of the best ramen in the area, I highly recommend them!

We decided to try out the mango jasmine fruit tea which is one of their most popular drinks. The service was super quick and the drink was ready in minutes! The tea was a little too sweet for my liking but the mango and jasmine flavors were both very apparent! The prices are reasonable and there is tons of variety for everyone! We could definitely come back again to try out their brown sugar milk tea which was also on their very popular menu! Great quick spot for boba tea if you're in the area!

I finally made some time to come here. I like that they're away from some of the busier places…read more They have a bountiful amount of parking. They have three tables and six chairs if you want to dine in. One is towards the left side with two chairs. The other two tables are together in the middle, with chairs in case a group comes in. They have a nice seating area on the far right if you are waiting for your carry out. This is mostly a drive-thru and carry out. I would definitely come back to dine in, now that I know they have tables. Other reviews missed this vital part. To clarify on one of the recent reviews. The beef bulgogi bowl combo does not cost $32. It would cost $17.75 without tax. I ordered combo 1 (pork adobo and beef bulgogi onigiri, 4 lumpias, pineapple passion fruit drink, and cassava cake). I also ordered the pork adobo rice bowl, egg sandwich, and matcha white chocolate brownie. I have food for two meals. Overall, it's about a 3.5 - 4 for me. I'll lean in more towards a 4 because I'll come back and try more items. -pork adobo onigiri 2.5 - this one was just okay. It could use more meat and sauce. It was mostly bland. -beef bulgogi onigiri 4 - this was better than the pork adobo. It had more meat but it could use more sauce. -lumpias 5 - they were crispy and flavorful. -cassava cake 5 - it came cold. This is a traditional Filipino dessert. It was light, smooth, and custardy. I could eat two more of these. -pork adobo rice bowl 4.5 - the rice wasn't burnt. There is a generous amount of meat. There are about two meals worth in here. The pork slices were soft and tender. There were a couple pieces that could have been softer. -egg sandwich 5 - you get two sandwiches. The whole sandwich was pretty good. It had a savory taste to it. I would order this again. -matcha white chocolate brownie 5 - it came warm. It was rich, not too sweet, and slightly crumbly. I tasted both the matcha and the white chocolate.
