Hopefully when I stop in again they'll have the white rose iced tea. I love how this place offers unique flavors that other tea shops don't have. I really enjoyed what I got today. They are also informative and let you know what drinks have zero caffeine, high caffeine or low caffeine, I think that's so important and it was great to see that. I read the bad reviews and I highly disagree. I've been to a lot of tea spots and milk tea spots all over illinois, I wanted something other than the same old boring brown sugar boba or matcha and this place delivered everything I wanted because they incorporate unique flavors and the result is magical.

Nice little corner store that sells poke burritos/bowls and a variety of other adjacent food. You…read morebuild your own based off what you want, and they have a wide selection of ingredients available. I got poke burrito, with tuna, cucumber, spinach, cream cheese, avocado and green onion. The burritos are medium/smaller but it matches with the price you pay for it. The burrito was decent, as the ingredients were not the freshest but not old by any means. As for allergens, we asked in regards to my partners burrito and they said it should be okay. Unfortunately she did have a mild allergic reaction, and I understand accidents happen but something to note. As for the store itself, its a pretty large place and they sell a variety of plushies, blind boxes and vinyl figurines. I want to love it but it was just okay overall.

Thus, today it was simply a Taichi Milk Tea with Boba. Please do not quote me on this, but it seems they use a special kind of milk? Whatever the case, the result was delicious! The tea and milk flavors were both noticeable but not overwhelming or overpowering in any way. Excellent amount of 'bite' from the tea and savory/creamy notes from the milk. The sugar and ice levels in the default beverage were on-point as well! I often find myself having to specify "less sugar" and "less ice". While such customizations are built into the menu, it's lovely that the base isn't gobs of ice and sugar. The boba was fine, nothing to write home (on Yelp?) about here. The vibe inside is lovely. It is wood, black and splashes of color. The service was polite and speedy (though to be fair - it wasn't very busy at the time). While I am not yet local to Chicago, I will be in a few months. When this happens, I look forward to returning, and trying some poke and ramen as well!

Went solely for their fruit and red bean shaved ice. The ice could've been finer (I had to chew on…read moresome larger shards of ice which wasn't pleasant), but otherwise we enjoyed it, and I was very happy to see that it had all the makings of an old school patbingsoo with both fruit and red bean, as well as mochi and ice cream, which is rare nowadays. It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

I only waited for about 10 minutes before my food was ready. The chicken fried rice had onion, peas and carrots and the rice was only the lighter soy color. The pieces of chicken within the rice were tender and larger than most places. The flavor was light but was fixed with some extra soy sauce and some sambal to really kick the heat up. The wings were small but mighty. They had a good crunch and enough meat that I wasn't disappointed. I thought the wings was going to be covered like buffalo wings but they aren't. The wings came with the sauce which allowed me to dip away. The spicy sauce was indeed spicy. I loved the flavor. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. The serve boba teas as well.
