    The menu
    Jhordin A.

    I was very excited to stop in here while in Deerfield for the day. I love another location of Liquid Fusion and love that place so I figured this would be a similar experience. They have tons of options on the menu, everyone could find something here. They have large menus in the TVs which are nice too. The service was quick but I did feel a bit unwelcome during my visit. Luckily I checked out the menu prior to stopping in so I could prep my order because I felt so rushed by the cashier while looking at the menu, though I was the only customer there. Outside of this, my drinks were great. The fruit drinks are or atleast taste like real fruit which is rare for boba places in my opinion so this was a pleasant surprise.

    Great bubble tea place. Offers many flavors, prices are decent. Customer service is good. Nothing fancy just good bubble tea.

    Choc Mint Fusion to go

    Grabbed a Choc Mint Fusion and chilled a bit after the DMV! Warm, comforting, and a comfy couch is just what the doctor ordered to recover from that headache inducing place...

    I am a frequent enjoyer of bubble tea so when I got out of the DMV I was delighted to see Liquid Fusion Cafe in the same parking lot. The facilities are clean, the service is fast, and the smoothies are good! I would recommend looking at the menu before coming in as they get really busy at times and the service is done very fast. There is indoor seating but bathrooms are not available to the public.

    Plenty of options

    As a long time resident of Deerfield, I am always excited to see a new cactus in this culinary desert of a town. We have had some new additions recently, and I am excited to be the first to review Bubble Joy Cafe. Located in the same strip mall known for the DMV, Blackies, Sachs, Tile store and a place for all your knitting needs. Bubble Joy Cafe is a few storefronts down from Sachs Center. As you can see the decor is warm and inviting. They have pillows on the benches which is a nice touch. The paints colors have a nice California vibe. My daughter Naomi and I tried the mango bubble tea (large), which we shared. Flavor was o.k., not a ton of flavor, but that could be due to the time of year and our location. It's Mango season somewhere, right? Cost. $6.50. Seems a bit high, but Naomi did count 57 tapioca that she counted one by one. There are lots of other things on the menu. Looking forward to trying them all. Now, with the Jimmy Thai, Ramen Time, and Bubble Joy we just need a foot massage place in this mall to make it complete. Welcome to Deerfield, Bubble Joy Cafe!

    Fresh Ingredients!

    You can only find places like these in China Town. Excellent choice for a refreshing, delicious treat. Whether you opt for a tapioca or plain smoothie these are both made to order and even come sealed with a signature top...3 words to describe...OFF THE HOOK! Only thing...wish it was summer!

    Thai tea with boba

    Since moving to Highland park a month ago, I have been dying to find a boba place to go to. This place is a must! With COVID, the inside seatings aren't available which is okay, I enjoyed my Thai tea in my car with a delicious peanut butter brownie dessert this may be my new spot for boba!

I have been looking for a place that offered dim sum and…read moredumplings for a while now (ever since I experienced them at Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone in Seattle) and I can honestly say that Seriously Sanji is a great place. My wife told me there was a dumpling place in Northbrook and took me there for a late lunch the other day. I know that she's not a fan of dumplings, but "took one for the team" and brought me there. We just ordered basic beverages, her a water and I a Coke Zero. She then ordered Pad Thai and I ordered chicken soup dumplings and chicken sanji. The pad thai came out first and it was a huge portion. She barely put a dent into it and it became two additional meals later. She said it was different than other places she's had it and that it was good, but different. I noticed the chicken pieces were huge chunks and the sauce had a little kick to it and wasn't thick, but it was tasty. I first got the chicken soup dumplings. Man, they were good. They're larger than the ones I've had at Din Tai Fung and The Dough Zone, but they sure are delicious. And since I prefer not to drive into the city and spend over an hour on the road to get downtown, to go find some other dumpling/dim sum place; I'm happy there's a great place in the suburbs near me. They rival the other two mentioned previously. Their sauces are great, the dumplings are great. The sanji was delicious. Heck, that's in their darn name. All of it was good. And this is my go to place in the suburbs now. The place is a cute. As you enter the vestibule, there's a dumpling with a body welcoming you in. The place is just all black and red and you wait to be seated. There is a container with chopsticks on each table, but the napkin is wrapped around a fork (most places you have to ask for a fork, so this is a nice change). I could use a knife for the sanji as they are quite big, but it's not a problem eating them without. Our server was very nice and helpful. There's really no place in the north to northwest suburbs that serves this type of food and you'd be foolish to skip it. I'll see you there soon. I'll be the one making the yummy sounds.

The tapioca here is always perfectly cooked with good chew to it. The owner/shop worker is very nice! She gave us two waffles on the house. The ambiance is a really cute shop perfect for dates or boba chats. We would for sure be stopping by again for late night boba cravings.

The tea wasn't the best I've ever had and I'm not sure if it's because of the lavender flavor but that is my assumption since I never had it in a bubble tea before.

We went a little before closing, and I was lowkey expecting slower service, but they were so quick and efficient. Everything came out fast and the staff was still super friendly, which I really appreciated. They also have a surprisingly big food menu, which makes me want to come back and actually try more next time. That elote sandwich is already calling my name Overall, such a cute spot with great drinks and speedy service. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

Instead, I opted to try their small selection of quality ice creams. Only 6 flavours are available, but it's extremely customisable and the staff is very accommodating. I was absolutely blown away by the vanilla ice cream. The taste is subtle and not overpowering, but it's a fresh kind of vanilla I've never had and is sure to please all vanilla lovers. The texture of the ice cream was perfect - it didn't melt too fast, not too soft or frozen, and it was creamy but not overwhelmingly creamy. Simply put, you NEED to try it! The individual who accommodated me was phenomenal! I, unfortunately, didn't get his name, but he took great care of my vanilla ice cream with oreos in a cake cone. Furthermore, I was able to learn more about the business and how involved they are in the community, which is always a plus for me. He even let me try some leftover caramel latte frappe, which wasn't too sweet! Overall, my 5-stars goes to the quality of service I received and the ice cream. I love the business and am excited to come back with friends and family!
