We finally made it to Taichi Bubble Tea in Mount Prospect, and it absolutely lived up to everything we expected. We had actually ordered through DoorDash before and loved it so much that we had to experience it in person and I'm so glad we did. There's tons of parking, plenty of interior seating, and the whole place is super clean and welcoming. You order through the Kiosk. We ordered ramen and the Pokémazing bowl both were fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect spicy kick. Truly delicious and fresh. My 4-year-old daughter got the burrito and devoured it, which says a lot! The boba was delicious as well. The most fun part? Depending on how much you spend, they give you tokens for their prize machines. My daughter won FOUR stuffed animal she was over the moon! Such a fun and unexpected bonus that made the whole experience even more memorable. Friendly staff, amazing food, fun atmosphere we will absolutely be back and highly recommend it! read more

I ordered food from this place--mala spicy ramen. The food arrived very nicely packaged; honestly, I've never received a delivery in such a nice bag. However, as a big ramen lover, I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed with the ramen. It was a bit greasier than others I've tried, and I think the cilantro gave it an off-putting flavor. I will definitely give this place another chance, but I'll try something other than ramen next time. read more

Tried this place after seeing the giant bubble tea statute outside. Inside they have fun claw machines (you get free tokens with purchase of food) as well as Asian snacks! I ordered a sushi burrito and a bubble tea! What I loved about the bubble tea is that it's freshly brewed and not one of those powder places. I also love that you can customize the amount of ice and sugar you want! Service was really friendly and my food came out in a cute reusable bag. I tried the claw machine and had a great time at Taichi Bubble tea. Plenty of free parking including spots for pick up! read more

Not bad, but I prefer other ramen places for the price. I tried the truffle ramen here, which was $17. The amount of noodles in the bowl was reasonable - not too much, not too little. I feel like the seaweed may have overwhelmed the truffle flavor a bit, so I would omit the seaweed if I try it again. I asked for spicy paste on the side, allowing me to control the spice level without further overwhelming the flavor. Finally, I selected beef for my protein choice, and received tender, flavorful slices of black pepper steak atop my bowl. This was one of the best parts of my dish. My husband got the tonkatsu ramen, which he liked fine, but again, we have other options we prefer for tonkatsu ramen when it comes to value, quantity, and quality. The bubble tea was not bad. I got the Passonfruit "Infruit" Tea with lychee jelly, and it was as tasty as anywhere else, and plenty big. The best thing about Taichi for us is proximity to our house. Definitely more convenient to visit than some of the other "destination" ramen places we might go to. You place your order at a touch screen, pick up your own food from the counter, and bus your own table. read more

The ordering process is slightly confusing. They have paper sheets where you can mark what you want and take it to the counter, they have ordering kiosks at the entrance as well for certain items (at least that's what the sign says) but then it appeared to have the full menu, then there's employees at the front who can take your order as well. Unsure of why there's different options but I'm sure it's just new beginnings of seeing what works best for the business. Once order is placed, you can watch the team prepare your food in front of you since it's laid out in individual containers (think subway or chipotle). I got the chicken rice bowl and the ingredients all tasted fresh which was good. There's quite a bit of seating inside and lots of cute Panda trinkets for purchase (stuffies, keychains, etc.) Definitely a cute spot I can see people hanging at. read more

Walking in at Taichi is very exciting because our family loves boba. When you walk in there's plenty of stuff animals displayed and a variety of lays, Oreos in different flavors. Venue: is clean and open. They have kiosk to use if you know what you want to order. They have rewards points if you sign up as a member. Parking: ample private parking Price: comparable to other boba place Drinks: there are lots of different drinks to choose from. I've personally tried the infruit and fruit tea. I like less ice, no sugar w boba and popping jellies Staff: very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend trying this place. Enjoy! read more

This is the fast casual for ramen and poke bowls and sushi burritos plus boba tea drinks. Order at the kiosk or in person and they also have fill-in sheets. The bowls and burritos are very customizable so it's good to see all those options in front of you. Seriously, it's like "choose up to 4 veg" or "choose up to 16 toppings" so it can get pretty crazy. The ramen and the boba tea have a lot of options as well, but they cost a little extra. There are only 5 or 6 main proteins - but it's how you mix it up with the toppings and extras that make it custom. The place is new and clean and modern. But it just opened up, so it gets that pass. The actual food is nice and unfussy. I got the tonkotsu ramen and the burrito sushi. The ramen was good without being pretentious. I don't want to say a little boring/standard - but that's OK too! The burrito sushi was very difficult to eat like a burrito. I promise! I didn't overstuff it. Two proteins, two veg, and three topping... but it still spilled out a lot. I don't know what the solution is? The boba tea is good and they have no problem with customizing ice and sugar levels. So, in terms of fast casual ramen and sushi... it's a winner! read more

Quick visit to the new location before the new year! I've been to Taichi locations prior to this one but this was the coolest! The claw machine, ramen, and snacks vibe was really cool. It was empty during NYE before close but I'm sure it's a great place to hang out. Great vibes, cool staff, and tasty drinks. Got the Dalgona iced drink with oat and boba. It tasted great! Also, shoutout to the fun staff, they clapped for us when my buddy got a Kirby out of the claw machine and gave him a bag to hold it in. I hope the place continues to thrive for the new year! read more

Taichi Bubble Tea has poke, ramen, rice boxes, boba, coffee, and stuffed animals! It's kind of like if a food court and gift shop had a baby. It's big, clean, and quiet. I had a three-protein poke bowl and a dalgona coffee. I know. What a combo right? Well it made sense in my head. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, food was decent. I'll be back to try more... and maybe leave with a stuffed animal or two. Welp! Onto the next! read more

I would give 4 stars for Taichi Bubble Tea. It's a brand new location, this used to be a Boston Market - the inside looks very nice brand new and remodeled. If you want a restaurant to compare this with, think Poke Bros - bowls, salads and ramen/bubble tea drinks. The food was good, they initially forgot to add the most important ingredient to my poke salad (the poke) lol. No big deal though, they gave me the poke when I noticed it - but check your online orders before you leave. I'd also recommend Taichi adds siracha as a condiment - they don't have it currently. The salad/bowl was really good - the poke tasted really fresh, and the portion size was decent. I'll have to come back to try their bubble tea/ramen another time. Overall, I recommend a visit to Taichi Bubble Tea. read more

Great addition in Mt. Prospect for quality ramen and bubble tea! So nice that you can just drop by on the whim for a quality, quick meal. Super casual where you order at the counter and seat yourself. I like the fact that you can really customize your ramen with all the ingredients they have for toppings after you choose the broth. The menu is extensive and so is their bubble tea menu. Worth trying a different one each time I visit. read more

I didn't physically visit Taichi Bubble Tea yet, but my family was kind enough to purchase me an oat milk taro bubble tea. I am not one who usually orders bubble tea--I am more of a matcha/chai person--but the drink was so good, it has been living in my head rent free for the last five days. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy and there was a good ratio of them. There was taro in every sip. The cup was sturdy and I liked their sealed top, it felt more leakproof than other ones that I have experienced. I cannot wait until I have a chance to check out the store for myself! read more

Could not pass up this opportunity for a giant burrito-sized sushi roll! You can really put whatever you want in there, so I got salmon and tuna, cream cheese, sauce, soybeans, just really all the good stuff you like in sushi. You do kinda have to know what goes well together, since you can add anything. So pace yourself, I guess. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. It was about a medium wait once we ordered. They fill that roll pretty full, but it's served in a box, so at least that can catch anything that falls out. Lots of drink options as well. Will have to go back to try more. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, casual atmosphere. Parking in the lot is available. read more

I did really enjoy their bubble tea here! You can order up front or through a kiosk. The price is very reasonable. The only thing is I'll definitely ask for less sweet for their drinks. They were also doing a special where if you spend $20+ you get tokens for their claw machine! They also have parking so it makes it easier. Overall I'd recommend and will come back! It's nice and big inside as well too! read more

I delivered your food and I went inside there. I ordered a drink. The service was great. It's nice and clean. I really wanna come back here one day now I know where it's at if I ever do stop by there for my delivery. read more

The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The amounts they serve are filling. It's one of our favorite spots.

We hate when we find a place's reviews are not an actual reflection of our experience. To each their own, but we found this place to be super fresh and of high quality. Think of it as a Japanese Chipotle. You can do your poke-style as a burrito, a salad or a rice bowl. We did the sushi burritos and the vegan tomato Ramen. I would most likely not get the burrito again (essentially a huge handroll) and too jam-Packed with yummy ingredients to stay together. They were VERY messy. We had the boba coffee and the boba matcha. Everything was delicious and we look forward to adding this to the rotation. read more

Don't waste time here. We ordered 2 bubble tea and 2 ramen bowls. For the bubble tea, the brown sugar "Zang Zang" tastes like nothing, can't taste neither tea nor milk just sugar. The running thing is they ask if whole milk is okay? The peach rose milk tea is even in a higher level, I felt so bad on their tea and didn't want drink them and left it in my counter top for 2 days. I am surprised it did not gone bad at all in the middle of summer. As for ramen, a simple summary is " they have no idea how to make ramen." It's better to go to somewhere else. The broth tased like nothing or they mixed too much water or too little base soup. Don't be fooled by their pictures. I don't know how they operate their business, this is not a restaurant at all, not to even their staff. read more

Tai Chi just opened this on August 1, 2025. This restaurant serves boba drinks, ramen, sushi burrito, and poke bowls. It is open daily from 11am-9:30pm. I and 3 companions came by today, 8/5/2025, for lunch. The boba drinks were delish! We ordered via the kiosk by the door. I like that you have a choice of almond milk, soy milk, or regular milk. You can also adjust the sweetness of your drink. We had shoyu ramen and miso ramen. I thought shoyu was more flavorful. Using the ordering kiosk, you can customize your ramen by adding or subtracting ingredients, and choosing your kind of meat: tofu, shrimp, pork, chicken, beef. The restaurant was clean, the food was prepared quickly, and service was nice. We will come back again! read more

We ordered an eel rice bowl and a beef rice bowl. The containers were very big. For the beef rice bowl, there's not a lot of meat. For the eel bowl, half of the surface was covered with pickled ginger and pickled radish. In other words, just too much rice. read more

This is nothing more than a slow fast food, just ok boba/ramen shop. Don't get me wrong, the food is not bad. It's just not exactly good either. Nothing tastes really fresh. It's ramen made with pre-made ingredients put together to look nice but still tastes pre-made. The noodles don't have the chew of a fresh noodle. They taste packaged. The broth actually taste decent but doesn't taste freshly made. For prices you pay here, I'm expecting a lot more. After one experience, I most likely will not be coming back. There are a lot of places in the area that give you more for less and taste like they put some love into it. read more

Ordered a 2-meat poke bowl and a large Zang Zang brown sugar milk tea with half sugar. The half sugar was the right call, because like most American boba shops in the area, they put way too much sugar. I think the taste overall is maybe a bit better than other places in the area, but the higher price is not worth the difference. The poke bowl though has very fresh ingredients, and you can select each ingredient they put in it, similar to a Subway or Chipotle. I selected almost all the available options on the menu and overall was not disappointed by any of them. Strangely enough, I think the one ingredient I could have used more of was the rice. There is the option to select it as a burrito or a salad as well. I'd imagine the burrito might be a better option to get a better ratio of ingredients to rice. read more

service, place, staff is great. one of the best poke spots I've been to but my complaint about here is that they don't give you enough rice and to get extra rice you get almost a $3 charge. even if you chose the one protein selection vs two, you'll still get the same amount of rice with the two protein selection. so the ratio to rice to meat is not adequate and I do not like that but the bowls being expensive already, paying an extra (almost) $3 for rice is just too much to justify read more

It's was soo good. Can't wait to go back. I had the ramen and was impressed by the flavor profile.
