Strawberry taro tea was delicious and a big portion. I also enjoyed the macarons. My only gripe was that I was ordering for something with a dairy intolerance and the girl working the counter couldn't give me a straight answer about which products were dairy free which confused me because she was the one making them so I thought she could tell me if they had milk or not. The inside is basic but clean. Happy to support a local mom and pop business. read more

Motea Plus - Strawberry Taro Strawberry Milk Tea, mixed macarons - Bubble Tea Near Me - Orland Hills, Illinois

Motea has great boba. And really good ramen. I come here once and a while to get their house boba tea with tapioca bobas and the tonkotsu ramen, and while both of those are great, the one thing that is not great it the sticky tables and long waits. We once waited for 30 minutes and still did not get our drinks, so just asked for a refund and left. The food makes up for it though, and the only thing that really matters to me in a restaurant is the food. read more

Needs Better Staff. I have been here many times to get my vegetarian sister her very specific food. They normally don't disappoint. But for some reason when I called, She was laughing and not listening. When I asked a question, she half answered. So I'm glad I asked again, because they don't have it anyway. When I went to pick up the food, I was being rushed to take my bag and leave by being told that was everything. Luckily I know what was ordered and the drinks were not there. Even after they were on the receipt on the bag that she looked at, she did ask someone else, who told her where the drinks were. Then still, asked me what they were and said they had the wrong order number attached to them. I'm not mad, but I can imagine that I am not the only one getting their orders messed up today. I feel bad that they are busy & maybe she is stressed or overwhelmed, but maybe either hiring more help or finding out what they are best at would be helpful, because she seemed too confused and yet pushy that she was right to be fulfilling orders. read more

Great food and service! An unexpected visit as our first choice was closed. It's more than just boba! We were looking for something quick fast and delicious for dinner prior to our concert that evening and motea plus hit the spot. We each had boba and ramen or a rice dish. Everything was delicious. Chicken kagage and ramen were on point. Next time I'm in the area I will have to try another new item. read more

The brown sugar boba tea is so good!!! It's not that sweet but I know it can be for others so I do appreciate you can request to add less or more sugar syrup. My kids enjoy the rolled ice cream and occasional caffeine free boba tea. Highly recommend!! Service is great and quick. read more

I brought my daughter here as she loves smoothies with boba. It was busy, but the guys working moved very fast. They have a huge menu of teas and smoothies. My daughter ordered the strawberry smoothie with mango popping, and i ordered a mocha frappuccino with tapioca. They were both delicious, not too sweet, and were reasonably priced. The inside is cute and inviting with plants on every table. Great place for an afternoon treat! read more

This place has the best boba in the southwest suburbs, because it's authentic to its origin. For people curious in this area to try boba drinks, you can honestly start here. The boba is cooked well and is perfectly chewy and the flavors are good. Boba started in Taiwan and everything about this place stays close to how it's been made and how it is suppose to taste since the early 2000s. On the menu, they have boba drinks, the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, fries, the beef and chicken rice bowls and the rolled ice cream. They are all good, all flavorful. There are too many other inauthentic boba shops in the suburbs that rush cook the tapioca balls leaving them so hard to chew or too soft, and they use low quality powder that doesn't dissolve in the drinks. They don't represent boba well. This is not one of those places. This is one of my trusted places in this area barren of good Asian food and drinks. Bring your business here and you'll understand why others fail in comparison. read more

Saw that this place was finally opened so my husband and I decided to try it out! I'm a big fan of Taiwanese tea shops as it's what I frequented when I lived in Southern California and to see one open up was a treat! First the teas. I've ordered the house bubble tea and the Thai tea. Both were reminiscent of many Thai shops I've been to and just as delicious! Next the appetizer. First time we came here we just got the Taiwanese crispy chicken which I've always known it as popcorn chicken. Lots of flavor and a good crunch! My only recommendation is to please serve it with sweet and sour sauce. That sauce always goes great with the chicken. Next is the rice bowl. My husband got the original beef bowl which we know it as gyudon. I tried a little of it and beef had lots of flavor. I got the Combo Luxury #2 which came with teriyaki chicken and Tempura shrimp. It was was I expected but some chicken pieces were a little dry. Flavor overall was great! Lastly, the rolled ice cream. We saw a lot of people come and go while we were eating dinner and noticed this was the menu item most people went for. I got the green tea rolled ice cream and my husband got the strawnana rolled ice cream. A great tasty dessert to end the day! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back to try other things! read more

Placed an online order today and had to wait over 35 minutes (they also initially got the order wrong). Each time I have placed an online order there has been extended wait times but it has been increasingly worsened. Tea is tasty, but having to wait so long is no fun. Will not return. read more

Motea Plus - Mango Ice - Bubble Tea Near Me - Orland Hills, Illinois

I recently went to this place and I highly recommend going here. There are very nice employees and fast service. There are many posters helping you to order. Lots of drinks,food, and deserts to order from. Only thing bad is that the tables are REALLY sticky. read more

Came here with my husband and two daughters because we had a taste for boba tea. We each ordered a boba drink and my daughters each ordered a strawberry rolled ice cream. The boba drinks were so good, very refreshing and great flavors. We had the brown sugar, mango, and I ordered the purple one (can't remember the flavor name). Only negative things to say is the tables were dirty and sticky, staff definitely needs to wipe them down better (and often) and the bill was crazy high. For four boba drinks and two cups of rolled ice cream our bill was $48!!! Insane. Definitely overpriced so will only be a rare treat. read more

I came to the Orland Park area to run an errand, and I stopped here for a cup of bubble tea and an order of popcorn chicken. I'm so glad I came. It's located inside of a strip mall, and they have parking right outside of the store. As soon as you walked in, there's a sign for you to place an order, and the staff were so friendly and I was greeted right away. I ended up getting an oolong milk tea, I love that the drink came with tapioca, and I also added their custard pudding which is so smooth and silky. The chicken took a few minutes to cook, but the smell and the taste was so worth it. It's well packaged, and it was still crispy by the time I came home (~25ish minute drive). I stole a few bites and sips on the way home. I couldn't resist. They also sell rolled ice cream, and it was surprisingly busy at 8pm on a Tuesday. It means they're doing something right, and they're one of the places that stay open late in that area. They also have plenty of seating available for those who prefer to dine in, and they also have ramen on their menu too. I'd recommend Motea Plus to anyone in the area looking for bubble tea, appetizers, ramen, and rolled ice cream. read more

Great service, such a nice cute little shop! My go to is the strawberry taro milk tea with tapioca and it never failed to disappoint.

TikTok sent me here! Born and Raised in Tinley Park I must say I never knew this place existed. Everything I've ordered is great! The young girl that usually is there when they first open is always friendly and professional, top tier customer service! read more

My family and I were excited to see a new bubble tea place open in the area since the area is lacking. Having grown up in the area I never would have imagined bubble tea here next to a lou malnatis. We first tried it a few days after opening and have been back twice since. I can definitively say Motea's bubble milk tea is not comparable to other local bubble tea shops because this is actually authentic. Coming from areas with many bubble tea options, this is among the best you can expect to find, which was a nice surprise. The bubble tea is flavorful with many options. The boba is soft. We usually stick with oolong , house , or brown sugar milk tea with boba. I tried the beef bowl, teriyaki chicken, crispy chicken and tempura (almost every menu item) and all were tasty with a fair price. The teriyaki chicken was kind of hard. Seasoned egg was a nice surprise. The Crispy chicken is the best dish to order. read more

MoTea is a perfect place to drink and eat some delightful Japanese food! The interior is great, always clean, and looks modern. The staff are very friendly and cooperative, making sure you get what you want. The drinks here are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the Taro Strawberry Milk Tea. The food is also amazing! You really get a feel of Japanese culture. You should try it out as soon as you get the chance to! read more

Really wanna give this place a good review but sadly the spoiled egg in the ramen takes all the stars away. We ordered tonkotsu ramen and lychee smoothie and peach green tea lemonade. The drinks were good. The ramen was just ok but when we ate the egg, it's sour! It's already gone bad so they should have do quality control and not serving it to the customers. Now I am worried if my kids and I will get food poisoning read more

I've tried the smoothies, teriyaki chicken rice bowl, and one of the ice creams. Unfortunately I don't like boba so i can't rate that . I can tell you that of everything i've tried though, it's all delicious! The service is fine, nothing exceptional... I do love the look of the place though. Reminds me of a little spot in the city! read more

The brown sugar bubble tea (hot) was amazing! We had it delivered and it was packaged well. I'm excited to try more things on the menu.

We've been herer couple times already.Ramen and boba are pretty good. Friendly staff.

If you want legit boba tea, or fruit smoothies, i would suggest going to jojo asian bistros on 183rd instead. At least this would be closer to what you would get in Chicago Chinatown. It seems that they use powder instead of fresh fruits to make your drink. Also, they are doing a BOGO currently during their grand opening (24th-25th July) where they only limit one per GROUP and not order. This means that if you are a group of ten and each one of your friends place their own order, they will limit you to one person only to BOGO. Which defeats the purpose of trying to get your name out and your product. No where on their flier did they put restrictions, instead they tell you at the moment you place your order. read more

Great concept and definitely different. However, the ramen noodle bowls were definitely not work the price. The mushrooms were hard and the noodles undercooked. Atmosphere at this one is smaller and does not comfortably seat everyone. Once someone is done eating the tables are not wiped down. Other location seems cleaner and the food is much better! read more

Brought my son here for his 8th birthday, he thought the treats were splendid, and I as well could agree. I will also add I thought the service was great, as the two coworkers that attended to us (Ameen and Obayda) were great service and seemed like bright young men in helping us pick our rolled ice cream choices. Overall 10/10 experience! Highly Recommend! read more

i went here with my husband a couple months ago, we were waiting for our drinks and i watched as the employee called out names to come and get their drink order. i went to the bathroom and as i was coming out, i seen the employee personally hand my husband our drinks. i looked for the employee on instagram and her name is frida. why did she do that?? no idea. i'm a spicy latina so of course i felt disrespected but kept it cool. teach your employee boundaries. other than frida, pretty decent place. read more
