Their presence in town has been so welcome in the heat of the summer. We love swinging by for an evening refreshment after dinner. Most recently, I loved their seasonal Bobo PoMango consisting of crystal boba, mango slush, and a pomelo syrup. The pomelo added a citrus bite that made the mango slush taste even sweeter. I also had a bit of herbal jelly in mine, so the flavor profile was more complex than most boba teas I've had. I was pleasantly surprised! Love how efficient the workers are and how easy it is to find a spot for parking. Excellent place for a beverage treat!

Honestly if you're wanting a tea or a drink this place is great for that...but that's about it…read more I've been a number of times and really have had decent experiences and again would recommend the Nile's location for to-go drinks only. Everything else is sub par...the dan dan noodles may have been the worst I ever had. The noodles were over cooked and stuck together, there was hardly any toppings and it was not at all as it was described. We also got the "Chinese burger" honestly this was also not something I would ever get again. The "bun" situation was dry and had no flavor...also the pork had no flavor and was also dry...I can see why the girl behind was questioning if it was even on the menu still because clearly no one is ordering it and when a customer does they're surprised. Now what really put me off (aside from the surprise piece of aluminum foil found in our food) was the horrible customer service. While waiting for our drinks and food to come out all I hear is one of the employees behind the counter commenting on multiple items on our order. Is it really that hard to make a drink and add extra ice without questioning why you need to add extra ice if that's the special request? It's requested because maybe we like our drinks to not be luke warm and prefer them cold. Then to make comments and being surprised an item was ordered ("chinese" burger). It was on the menu it sounded interesting we wanted to try it...after hearing the reaction it honestly made me second guess placing the order. Then to top it off when the drinks were ready our name was called...I asked if the food would be coming later and the attitude I received back being told that it takes longer threw me off completely. Yes I asked if the food would be coming later but I was asking to ensure that they knew we also had a food order. The attitude implying that I didn't understand that it'll take a bit long was not necessary. Needless to say if we ever come back our orders will be ONLY for drinks, we will NOT be ordering food and I will hope to not have much of any interaction with the staff at this location. It will strictly be pick up & go. Hopefully your team takes some time to work on their customer service skills cause it's lacking.

It was delectably foamy and sweet. My only regret was that it was this particular flavor combination didn't come with an option for a larger size. It really hit the spot for a cold, foamy beverage with perfectly chewy boba. I also tried out their house special braised beef noodles. They were great, but I wish there were more vegetables and noodles. (This was just personal preference.) The beef was well braised, seasoned, and excellent. Patrons order from kiosks and pick up items from the front desk. It would have been nice to interact more with staff, but the system is definitely set up for efficiency. Parking is a shared plaza private lot with plenty of spots during the weekdays. Weekends can be hectic given the amount of businesses here. Worth a visit for sure!

Absolutely hidden gem in the suburb of Niles! The concept of frozen yogurt to me has long been…read moreself-serve, weigh by the pound. Yes, there is the novelty of getting to make your own bow, but as we all have known and experienced, it gets pricey fast. Lina's is reinventing the fro-yo game but taking away the self-serve component and replacing it with unlimited toppings at an incredibly affordable price. They have your staple fro-yo flavors like California Tart and Chocolate Obsession, but also have unique flavors like Ube and Horchata as an ode to the Filipino/ethnic establishment that they are. If I was a frozen yogurt place around the area, I'd look to revamp my business practices because Lina's is by far the best in the game!

Let's start with prices. Prices are fair. The ones complaining that it's overly expensive,…read moreobviously don't know anything about the current economy. If you have common sense, you'll know that the price of everything has gone up - look at groceries and gas. Now, use that brain and look at the cost of eating out and buying boba teas. With that said, i ordered a strawberry matcha latte. It was very tasty, not too sweet. Remember people, if someone says everything is too sweet they probably didn't try out the whole menu. The croissants were delicious. I tried out mango and blueberry cream. They had just the right balance of flavor. Not sweet. Free street parking. They open later than some of the other boba places. Staff was nice, friendly, and attentive. Definitely not rude. I would disregard the 1-2 star reviews. They evidently don't know anything. If you work and can't afford a boba drink, then might as well stay home.

They also had an instant ramen station and pastries for anyone who is looking for a quick bite and drink. The service was pretty quick and the person working there was very nice.

There's also a bunch of claw machines as well as two photobooths. One of the photobooths had a giant capybara plushie ahhh. The cafe is pretty spacious and a fun experience. That said, the food and drinks itself were just average. I got a Hokkaido milk tea which was good but nothing special. I also got a pack of jjajangmyeon. Making the ramen yourself was a fun experience that felt like being in Korea. I'm glad they had a toppings station for free (different veggies), or else it would have just felt like overpriced packaged ramen. I also got the waffle stick with chocolate drizzle. This was my favorite of the food. It was bigger/thicker than I expected and the waffle bubbles were so dense and fluffy- I loved it. The employee there provided great customer service and was kind too. She helped us with the machines for cooking our ramen when we were confused at first. Also she was transparent in letting us know one of the desserts we ordered went bad and let us replace it with a waffle stick. Overall a pleasant, whimsical experience!

The drink options aren't huge. It's not a place you linger or have a conversation. The onion rings are nice and crispy but for me I don't like the huge batter centric rings. I like a light batter with crunch so you can taste the onion. The fires are just okay. Most were a bit soggy for me.
