    Bubble waffle
    Monty W.

    Really like the bubble waffle at Tealicious. Just the right texture and flavor. I also had a red bean milk smoothie which brought me back to my childhood memories. The space is great for socializing with friends. Kiosk for ordering and the staff was friendly and helpful on getting our order right. Would definitely come back. It's a good place

    The bubble waffles were such a great sweet treat. we dropped in here, after having lunch nearby, before heading back to the city . I ended up just getting the regular bubble waffle. Man, was it good! Perfectly sweet. Freshly made. And perfect texture. I skipped the ice cream since I was having it in the car but kinda wish I'd add some. Regardless it was great.

    About a 2.5: Tealicious Bubble is located in DT Evanston, and seems to be a popular spot for the local high and NU students. Their menu offers various lattes, milk teas, smoothies, and fruit teas, as well as bento meals, egg waffles, and soups. I ordered: +the Japanese Matcha Strawberry Latte - this was not a good drink at all, as it was flavorless - I was confused in how it could be so since it had strawberry puree in it; it was super watery and was tossed +an Original Egg Waffle - this was pretty good - I think it may have been slightly overcooked, as it was more browned up and more 'crispy'; however, the batter that they used was good flavor Staff were friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed with any additional customers that may have walked in. I had to wait close to 30+ minutes for my order, which I thought was kind of ridiculous. Extremely limited metered street parking around the area; your best bet is to park a few blocks away, if you're driving. +avoid the drinks +slightly overcooked egg waffles +overwhelmed staff +limited metered street parking

    All i can say is WATERMELON STRAWBERRY BLACK TEA. omg! I love this so much I keep craving it. I also ordered 2 bubble waffle which i didnt eat right away and it was still so good when I had it. The only complain I have is parking is soooo freakin hard!!! Lol Can u please open a branch in skokie? We need a good bubble tea place here. Lol Kidding aside (but not entirely kidding with openong a branch in skokie lol) I would go back again and again and again just for the Watermelon Strawberry Black Tea. But definitely want to try more drinks on the menu.

    I got the Jasmine green tea with boba. The service here was speedy and the staff were super friendly. They offer a wide variety of boba and beverage options. This is a great place to hangout with friends or to go on a date, I highly recommend coming here. The interior and ambiance was nice! The area was clean and the lighting was sufficient. It's in the heart of downtown Evanston so it's a great location to do plenty of activities nearby.

    Japanese Matcha Bubble Latte

    Tealicious is located in downtown Evanston. When you enter there's a long ramp but once you get inside you're greeted by a squishmellow wall! I had the Japanese Matcha which was a bit watered down but it was super warm inside so I'm thinking it melted super quickly. But what I LOVED was the matcha egg waffle! You could get it with ice cream and the fixings if you wanted but I wanted to try it by itself and it was DELICIOUS!

    Such delicious bubble tea!!! I Go the passion fruit green tea and absolutely delicious. I wish there was more locations! There's this plush wall inside to take pictures which is so cute. Plenty of seating to chill.

    April 2023 - Thai Milk Tea & Taro Bubble w/ Milk, popcorn chicken, matcha egg waffle and regular egg waffle.
    Jenny K.

    I have been craving Thai milk tea for the last couple weeks and finally decided to grab it from Tealicious Bubble on my day off with my mom. When I saw that their menu also had egg waffles and popcorn chicken, I ordered those as well. And even though my mom said she didn't want anything to drink, I ordered her a taro milk tea with taro balls. I've been here before for bubble tea but I never had any of the food. I would rate this experience a 2.5/3 based on the food alone. The popcorn chicken today was a miss. It could possibly be an off day for them - they were totally besieged with orders once they opened so I'm not sure if that played a roll. The chicken pieces weren't properly battered. Taiwanese popcorn chicken should be lightly battered...this was more like sparsely battered. I've definitely had better popcorn chicken. The egg waffles were a miss too. They tasted mediocre. In my opinion, the best egg waffles you can smell a mile away. These weren't like that. The matcha one had a very very faint matcha flavor. If it wasn't for the color on the egg waffles distinguishing the difference, I would've thought both were the same ones. It was quite disappointing since I know there's another spot just 5 mins away that does egg waffles really well. What I really like about Tealicious Bubble is that they have a lot of non dairy options and that you can substitute a non dairy milk with no additional cost. I requested about 25%/50% sweetness for the Thai milk tea and it totally hit the spot. It's my first time trying the taro from here and I was surprised to see that it was fresh and not the usual purple powder. I can see why Tealicious Bubble made it to Yelp's Top 25 Places to Drink in the Chicago North Shore - they do drinks well.

    Matcha Egg Waffle
    Dan W.

    I love the strawberry matcha latte here. It's layered in the cup, so you can see the strawberry tea at the bottom, a milk layer in the middle, and the matcha on top. And even after it's all shaken together, you can still taste both the matcha and strawberry. Not all boba shops can do that successfully. I also tried their bubble waffle with ice cream topped with fruit, which was delicious. The matcha waffle doesn't really have a discernible matcha flavor, but it does make for a cute picture for the gram. And isn't that what we're all really after?

    Traditional Wintermelon Milk Tea - Large with taro boba
    Stacey H.

    Such a cute plushie wall that's great for photos and LOVE this place for their taro boba! My go-to drink is the wintermelon milk tea with taro boba! They are nice and let me substitute the regular boba for taro boba free of charge. Not many boba shops (or really any...) offer taro boba as a topping and they do it so well here. Tastes a little more like taro mochi in texture, but authentic taro, not artificial. I live in the city but will drive to Evanston to get boba here--that's how much I enjoy the taro boba! The drinks are all good and made with real tea too. A bit on the sweeter side so tone down the sugar level if you don't like yours as sugary.

    Mango Matcha Latte

    the mango matcha latte has no mango taste and tastes like water. the boba is decent though.

    Taro Bubble Green Tea Latte
    Sam L.

    This might be my favorite place for boba in evanston. The food is nice and the prices are pretty standard, but the drinks are really great. I always get the taro boba milk green tea, which is delicious and maybe one of the better taro teas I've tried. A lot of the other flavors are really good too, and they have some unique ones.

    Assam Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Latte
    Peter S.

    4.5/5, rounded to 5/5 Is boba just better outside of Chicago? These boba places seem to indicate it's a possibility. I loved the tea flavor, the fact that it was not overly sweet. I especially loved the brown sugar tea latte, and I only tried a few sips. The tapioca was only okay, but the rest of the drink was very solid. Highly recommend!

    At the Taiwanese, I was very excited to try this restaurant since there aren't many Taiwanese…read moreplaces in Chicago. Taipei Cafe is a small restaurant in Lakeview. There aren't many seats available so it feels like a semi boba shop as well. To sum it up, I would say it is ~70 to 80% authentic, which is not bad in my opinion. Braised Pork Over Rice 招牌滷肉飯: The presentation was beautiful and the flavor was actually pretty good. In Taiwan, this dish is usually more on the sweeter side, due to the sugar and shallots added. Here, it is more peppery and savory, and the flavor was actually really good. The beans and the mustard greens were very delicious as well. Even though the flavor profile is slightly different, this was well made and something I would come back for. Noodles with black pepper sauce 胡椒鐵板麵: traditionally this dish is called蘑菇鐵板麵, which uses mushrooms, black pepper and other sauces as a base. The flavor was good, but I wish that there were more mushroom and sauce to balance the black pepper. In my opinion, this dish tasted very different from what I used to eat, but it is not bad on its own. 2/4 Fried pork chops: the meat was fried very well, and it was pretty peppery and crispy. However, I think there are different spices and flavor missing, including white pepper, msg, garlic, Thai basil, cayenne pepper, and more. I wished that the savoriness and spiciness popped up more, and I thought the spice blend and the marinade could definitely use some improvement. 3/4 Beef noodle soup 牛肉麵: I thought the bone broth was pretty good, but I believe the flavor profile should be wider, like tomatoes, five spice, 豆瓣醬, soy sauce, and more. It was a stripped down version, and I wished that is reflected in the name of the item (renaming it "clear soup" etc). Also, the amount of meat they gave us was a little bit pitiful (there were like four pieces), and there were two pieces of bok choy. When Taiwanese people eat beef noodle soup, we definitely expect more. 2/4 Additionally, I wish the drinks were made with some fresh ingredients (not just syrup or creamer), as standard/good quality boba shops from Taiwan try to make drinks as fresh as possible. That is high ask, but I just wanted to note that as a suggestion for improvement. Overall, I thought the food was pretty decent. Would I say it is the most representative Taiwanese restaurant in Chicago? No. The staff was actually Chinese loll. But I do think it reminds me of some flavors and food I grew up eating in Taiwan. If you like popcorn chicken and pork, it is likely a good place for you.

    Solid, tasty taiwanese food!…read more We enjoyed a mix of dishes (chicken bento box for me, beef noodle soup for my boyfriend, as well as fries with Thai seasoning and a boba tea for me). The green beans came as a side with my bento box and were amazing. The ordering system is a little clunky and annoying but we got through it. Vibes in the space are fine, it's an efficient little cafe The biggest thing is that there's really an opportunity for more sauces! For the fries, for the popcorn chicken, for example, a sauce would make a big difference to dip it in. I like this place and expect to be back

They roped off the dining area so you have a few chairs that can be used to wait for your food. Mei Shung is the kind of place where you get what you pay for. The food is affordable and advertised as quick on the food apps. We ordered from Mei Shung via GrubHub for pickup and they gave a reasonable time frame so we planned the walk around arriving at the pick up time. When we arrived it seemed like they never started our order. The employee looked for our order in the prepped food pile but didn't see it and went to the back. We thought they were finishing up the food but we ended up waiting an additional 20 to 30 minutes after the max time the food was supposed to be ready. When the food was ready the employee didn't apologize for the extra wait time. We were just happy to get the food. As I mentioned before, Mei Shung is a place where you get what you pay for. The food was just alright. If we didn't wait so much longer it would've been rated higher because it would be quicker and cheaper but the fact we waited so long the expectation of better food increased

We ordered plenty of food to enjoy and had enough for a couple of leftover meals. Beef Noodle Soup - This might be the best beef noodle soup dish I had besides my mom's. There were plenty of chunks of beef and the noodle itself had a nice bite and almost seemed homemade. The broth was frequent and well-seasoned. Garlic Eggplant--Very garlicky, this eggplant retained the hot temperature from a 25+ minute ride home. It was mouthwateringly delicious. The sauce was a great compliment to the steamed rice. Mongolian Beef - Although I was never a fan of Mongolian beef, it was delicious. They didn't skimp on the beef, and it was tender and flavorful. Beef with Chinese Broccoli - Tender slices of beef stir-fried with Chinese broccoli are always a wonderful combination. Beef Chow Fun - My favorite Cantonese dish! We have tried to duplicate it at home, but it does not compare to the hot flames from a Chinese restaurant. Homestyle Bean Curd - Deep-fried tofu stir-fried with pea pods and carrots with plenty of gravy for the rice. I haven't had much of an appetite for some time now and I ate a lot to compensate for the past few months. I am very satisfied with the meal, and I cannot wait to order from Mei Shung again. It seems they don't offer dine-in since the last time I visited. They set up a pickup station at the front of the restaurant. There are plenty of paid parking spaces available in front of the restaurant. Public transportation is also available.
