The service was great and they were very helpful with questions considering this was our first visit. The drinks were also very aesthetically pleasing and tastes good by preference. And I say that because I loved my salted vanilla bean matcha but my wife didn't like it. But she loved her banana cream matcha and I wasn't a fan. There are a lot of drinks to choose from so we'll definitely be back to try the rest!

Other than the lack of boba, the milk tea I got was really good! I got it with crystal boba, which I regret a bit. I wished I had tried the Korean corn latte that was a special. I hope to be back to try some other drinks!

The milk is a lactose free dairy option which isn't nice. And they have a lot of different types of drinks on the menu. And a bunch of toppings. The workers are all very friendly and helpful. It's definitely not cheap but it's reasonable compared to other bubble tea shops. It's in that little odd strip mall piece north of Jewel. Go check it out!

This is the consistency of the tapioca is that of reheated old tapioca. I have worked at a bubble tea shop where they reheated tapioca and this is the same consistency. The tea itself is so watered down. The milk tea is almost translucent because that's how little content there is in it. I get there aren't many bubble tea places in this immediate vicinity. I'd recommend trying a fruit tea if you're really in a pinch.

There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.

I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect. Our hearts left super happy.

The matcha portion tasted pretty good, but the coconut did not at all mix well with the drink. It tasted a bit sour and off-putting. It also smelled like throw up. I'm not sure if I received a bad batch or if this is how the drink is normally made, but I've had SO many better coconut-matcha boba drinks. Safe to say I will not be ordering from Woow Tea again...

Parking was a bit difficult in this part of town. They had an ordering kiosk but one could ring a bell for someone to come over if you'd prefer to pay cash. They offer a variety of topping styles on top of their classic rolled ice cream. The ice cream itself is condensed milk placed on a frozen plate that gets neatly spread out to freeze into its ice cream state. The workers then roll it up and place into a bowl before adding your toppings. It was fun to see and delicious to eat. The ice cream flavors tend to be straight forward chocolate or vanilla since it comes from the condensed milk. Either way, the experience is fun and this is a cute shop.
