I had the worst experience with this place. I called to place an order, and the person on the phone…read morerepeatedly told me she was busy. It honestly felt like she didn't want to take my order. Eventually, she said it would be ready in 45 minutes, and I told her my husband would come pick it up. When my husband arrived, she asked for the name and then told him there was no order under that name. She then asked him to repeat everything I had ordered. I called her while he was standing there and told her that was my husband picking up my order. She then handed him two bags. After my husband left, she realized she had given him the wrong order and called me while speaking to another customer. The call went to my voicemail. She told them, "I'm so sorry, that guy stole your food. I'm trying to see if they will bring it back." This was extremely upsetting and unprofessional, especially since the mistake was entirely on their end. The whole experience was disorganized, stressful, and handled very poorly. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of communication and professionalism.

For example, the Kungfu Tea in Libertyville, their tapioca pearls are so inconsistent. Sometimes I go and they're mushy and other times, they're so hard like rubber bullets; they're never made correctly and perfectly every time. That's where Te Amo comes in the picture. Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care. Along with the boba tea, they also sell mochi donuts and basque cheesecake!

Always passed by here finally decided to try it. I ordered a hot ube dalgona with oatmilk, 25%…read moresugar (lowest it allows). It was still a bit too sweet, I would've picked 10% if it had that option. The foam is a bit sour and bitter, kinda shocking. But not until you get to the actual drink part, it's actually not bad. The light bitterness throughout was really good. Both ube and dalgona flavors come out. But I might try to go with more simple/purer flavors, one at a time. I find mixed flavors a bit too much, since not all mixed flavors go well together. Might just go with dalgona by itself next time or ube creme brulee alone. Also, I think the drink I had would've been better cold, as the ice would cut the sweetness to half if I waited long enough. I would've ordered a cold one but cold would've exacerbated my cough, so hot it is. Also wanted to add that the boba were done well, not under or overcooked. The tapioca itself had a nice toasted sugar flavor. As for service, it's mostly a self-service kiosk. Ordering is pretty easy and straightforward, and they have Apple Pay. Interestingly the ordering system is through Chowbus, they text you your order number.

There's a self-serve ramen wall that has little burners where you can make your own bowl. I don't recall seeing any fresh options for mixing in, but it's still a fun concept.

Food: I was not impressed with the tea I ordered. I felt like I was drinking straight up sugar syrup. I had to order a cup of water to help dilute the sugary-ness. I eventually threw it out. A waste of $6. Service: The service was fine. The man working there wasn't particularly friendly at all! I felt like a bother asking for a cup of water to water sow my drink.

It tasted like bun bo hue, but it felt like shortcuts were taken. The chicken wings on the side were laughably small and greasy. To make matters worse, gratuity was automatically added, and the place being cash-only felt a bit suspicious. The only positive was that the restaurant itself was large and spacious. That's about it.

The menu has a large selection of flavors and flavor mixes along with fresh fruit and loose tea options. We opted for the chai tea smoothie with tapioca and flavored jellies, and a watermelon smoothie with tapioca. The reason I am giving it a 4 is because the flavors were not very representative of what it should actually taste like. The chai was not very similar to chai and the watermelon was more like bubble gum. They were both good but just not as expected-flavor wise! But there are so many other flavors to try out so we will be going back. The prices are the best I've seen for boba tea ever & you can save a dollar if you check in with the app so that's nice! The worker was friendly although she was very busy and the shop was cleanly.

Customer service was very good, the guy behind the counter saw us looking at the menu and asked if we'd like to hear about the specials... and they checked on us although at the table even though it felt more like a self serve style diner.

I wish that there were more gluten-free and dairy free options available on their cooked roll menu. The sushi is always fresh and flavorful.
