Popcorn Chicken Rice Bento
Generous Y.

3.5 rounded up because of mixed feelings. Authentic food with proper package presentation. Bento was fantastic but the boba fell short. I would definitely come back for more bento boxes but likely skip the boba (possibly order drinks with other toppings or none at all). Popcorn Chicken Rice Bento - fantastic bento, very nostalgic! Pickled vegetables, bok choy, a tea egg, tofu, and a piece of sausage make up the side contents. Each of these have a unique flair whether that's taste or texture. Rice and popcorn chicken is pretty standard, but juicy and tender. Much like the fast food bentos one might get in Taiwan, this was very comforting. Boba Milk Tea - boba was old and slightly overcooked, so it was firm but didn't split in half immediately. Classic black tea base but nothing special. Tea wasn't super potent but it was present alongside the milk. Overall would skip boba as a topping but inclined to try other drinks as classic milk teas are pretty consistent and hard to mess up.

I have to say. It's been awhile since I had a cute theme like takeout. Off the bat their fishballs is top tier! I only say it cause in NYC we recently lost "Shung Kee Food" it was probably one of the best if you want to make your own at home. All the loose ones out there now a days just taste like imitation or just filled with flour and starch. These on the other hand had it packed with flavor and bounce! Definitely a recommend! The popcorn chicken was a plus! Again. Flavor was there. Crispy, bouncy, goes well with anything tbh. The Taiwan mini sausage skewers were good too. AS cute as the rice box was it felt almost close to food on a plane kind of quality. It wasn't bad but I see what they're trying to do. I'd probably stick to the apps more next time then with the mains. Only downside was they only gave you the option to have bubble tea only. Wish they had more options to choose with the similar or same price range. As for the Mango/Grass jelly. I was pleasantly surprise ! i usually like it with milk tea or coffee but i have to say this was an eye opener! Definitely recommend!

Popcorn chicken was good. We didn't get the postcard and stickers that we added to our order and had to ask the staff for them though. Otherwise another good time at Hello Jasmine.

Hello Jasmine is one of those places that has both food AND boba. They offered some options for Taiwanese street food, as well as some actual rice dishes. Love a place with variety that can do it all! There's a bunch of seating and a bathroom which we happily used one by one after grabbing the ginormous key they offer at the counter for customers. Drink wise, I was a big fan of my Pinky Guava Grapefruit. It was such a summery drink, and the guava and grapefruit paired so well together, and it was, in fact, pink. There was a sourness to it that made the drink seem fresher, but it also wasn't too sour. Plus the fruit pieces added texture, and those fruit pieces were there across the board for all of the drinks my family had. Not only did I love my Pinky Drinky- I also am obsessed with the garlic popcorn chicken we got. I opened her up and was like "oh I didn't know this chicken came with rice." I looked a little closer. What I thought was rice was GARLIC. This chicken was sitting in a literal pool of garlic. We got essence of garlic AND actual chopped garlic all over these chicken pieces. It was the best thing I've ever seen, and it tasted so good. Hello Jasmine does everything and does it WELL, and I just wish they had one in NYC!

FLAVOR (4/5): Chicago doesn't have good boba and this is the best spot we found on our trip. The drinks are on the sweeter side but super refreshing. The grass jelly was pretty good quality too. We had their garlic popcorn chicken and it's not for the weak hearted! It has enough garlic to scare vampires away. The batter was nice and crispy. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): The logo and design of the place is pretty cute! The store itself isn't too big but had a lot of elements that made you feel like you want to sit and hangout for a bit. SERVICE (4/5): I appreciated that we selected a dine in option here and they actually brought us our food and drinks. TAKEAWAYS: The best boba we had in Chicago on our trip.

Parking: there's a parking plaza with lots of spacing and it's also near the train/bus station as well Staff: they're all super nice and help answer any questions you may have Inside: there's lot of seating for people to dine in or study at. There's a restroom (ask for the key, outlets, and free wifi. I will say that I went and the wifi wasn't THAT great so I wouldn't get serious work done here. Food/drink: I've gotten their spicy popcorn chicken that tasted mildly spicy and the assam black milk tea with boba. My top two items and they have so many other options to choose from. I'm excited to go back and try more

Six stars! On a trip to Chicago, I was craving some Asian food so I went to Chinatown. This place showed up on my Yelp search so I decided to give them a try. They are a smallish store but it was super busy on a Friday afternoon. We ordered at the kiosk and got the braised pork rice bento and the drink/fried chicken combo. Food came out fast. It was so good!! One of the best Taiwanese food I have ever had in the states (and I'm from Los Angeles). The flavor was amazing and tasted so comforting. The fried chicken was crispy and tender. The green tea was the perfect sweetness. The bento box was amazingggg. I highly recommend them! I think one of the best meals I had in Chicago. Bathrooms were also clean.

Chicken steak bento
Clarissa C.

Always a fan of Taiwanese food! They sell both Taiwanese bento boxes and drinks. You order from a kiosk and the servers bring you your food in a tray. The restaurant itself is small with a few indoor and outdoor tables. I got the chicken steak rice bento, which came with a braised egg, Bok choy, fried tofu, pickled lettuce, and rice. While the portion was small and could've used more protein/chicken, it was delicious! The chicken steak isn't fried, but rather grilled.

Drinks 5/5: ordered the grapefruit, green tea and the the guava grapefruit. Both were great! They had a deal for the grapefruit green tea, at buy one get one free, it was pretty good and they use fresh grapefruit! For the guava grapefruit, that was the best drink! It was very well flavored and not too sweet Service 5/5: Atmosphere 5/5: very trendy Boba spot with a lot of decorations! I love the set up the place. It gives any more intimate, trendy but authentic look to it.

Kathy T.

Authentic Taiwanese popcorn chicken and instagram worthy bear drinks! We also tried their rice dishes and other drinks but those two were my favourites

Amy L.

Very solid place for Taiwanese food - their fried chicken has the delicious classic seasoning and love that they serve buckets as well! I will say if I had to compare Taiwanese places in the city I'd have to give the edge to Taipei cafe as hello jasmines portions are definitely smaller

Jasmine Green Fresh Boba Milk Tea, Fried Mini Sausage (6 pcs)
Javi E.

Got 0% sugar on my milk tea and was very good. the mini sausages had so much flavor. will definitely be coming back!

Kit C.

Hello jasmine has been my favorite for milk tea since they've opened!! I love every drink I've tried here and my favorite recently is the taro coconut delight- the perfect amount of taro flavor with the coconut sweetness. I usually adjust the sweetness level when I order milk tea but with this drink, I don't need to adjust anything and it's perfect. I also love the popcorn chicken which is salt and pepper chicken nuggets. Its flavor is so on point with a hint of basil. My coworkers who've tried this place also love their bento boxes and drinks. The only down side is how the size of their popcorn chicken has decreased yet we're being changed more. They claim it's inflation but the ration just doesn't make sense to me. This place is always busy to be prepared to wait for a little bit especially during peak hours but the service is still decent and Efficient. The restaurant itself has a small area where you can sit and chat with your friends for a quick hangout spot.

Food is Asian fusion and primarily Taiwanese I guess so it was different but familiar and I got a Hotpot to appease my disappointed shabu craving... pals like their dishes as well... drinks were pretty cute - especially the chocolate sugar bear. Good place to hit ii Chinatown next time youre down there.

Lots of friend groups and others, enjoying their together time, incredible meals, and just sharing together.

Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao Sze Chuan was way too expensive, $30+ entrees were average and the place wasn't busy at all. So I decided to try Shang Noodle, which was tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's across from the Nordstrom building, past Labriola's, down some steps and about a block away located on the south side of the street. As soon as I walked in, and I wasn't expecting this but the restaurant was extremely loud and nearly every seat was taken and everybody seemed to be enjoying themself, families, couples and groups. I figured that was a good sign and it signaled to me that the food was probably good! At first, the host wanted me to sit at the bar, which I politely declined because I don't usually sit at bars, also, I was there to eat, not pick up somebody! I noticed a small table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No 'tude either! As far as my server goes, she was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit and probably because I didn't look like the other customers who were more familiar with the cuisine. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken Chow Fun. The pot stickers were a little small, but crispy and very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it paired nicely with the pot stickers instead of that plain vinegar sauce they usually serve you. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was more than generous, and the char-grilled beef had a great umami flavor. A few of the rice noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall though it was quite enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable to me, considering it was on the dinner menu, the portion sizes were humongous and the restaurant was located on the Near North Side, which is usually quite pricey. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead, or go with friends of mine.
