One of the BEST milk teas I've had!! Not based on quality of tea leaves or anything, but just cuz…read moreeven the 100% sweet was the perfect amount, in addition to their super unique milk mochi topping. It felt a bit like pudding but more creamy, a bit like burrata texture?? Absolutely obsessed, and most boba stores don't have this topping as an option. It was holiday season, so you could add a $1 to get it served in an adorable gingerbread bottle. We got to pick our own mini crochet hat and scarf!! The drink came out very quickly and you order from a tablet. Perfect for pictures inside, the decor was so cute!

Super cute spot with friendly staff!…read more Love the variety here of mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, and drinks! They have a rotating menu of specialty flavors every week for the donuts. I really enjoyed the yuzu refresher-esque drink I had! It wasn't too sweet, They have some seating in the front and in the back. Love they also host events with various groups in the area. Metered street parking is available and public trans is accessible.

The Mochinut donuts are made fresh every day and you can really tell, perfectly fluffy and sugary. I love that they do new weekly flavors. Tried the yuzu tart & pumpkin spice oreo ones, so creative on the flavor combos and SO delectable. They sit pretty light! Also discovered I love Thai tea today trying their strawberry one. The 1/2 cheese hot dog with hot Cheetos was yummy but they are also very rich so couldn't finish it. Will 100% be back for more inspired drinks & mochinuts :))

Ordered the mango pomelo with sago pearls. It definitely tasted watered down and the mango was very fibrous. The person taking my order was a bit rude but the person who served my order was fine.

I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken bento from the Lincoln Park location, and honestly, I was…read morepretty disappointed. There was barely any actual chicken in the popcorn chicken. Most of the pieces seemed to be just fried coating, and everything was really small. I usually go to the Chinatown location and have never had this issue there, so this was my first time trying the Lincoln Park location and it was a letdown. Hopefully this was just a one-time thing, but the portion and quality were definitely not what I expected. It was just a takeout order so no comments on the service or ambiance.

Best boba in all Chicago and priced well. Can't complaint on anything. The service is good too.read more

Overall great tasty treat after a bowl of ramen. It's a huge dish to be shared. I think even splitting amongst the 3 of us was still a lot, you need like 5 people for this. Inflation hurts though because this was $17. I swear it was cheaper centuries ago. We Tsaocaa frequent for to go for boba so I'm pleased we have some boba options nearby in comparison to hiking to Chinatown.

This review is only for the bingsu - it is huge, honestly too much for two people. I think my ideal…read moreamount is four people. I do wish they would make it smaller and slightly cheaper - I'd probably be more likely to come back often. We got the honeydew melon bingsu - the honeydew flavor was too sweet but the ice was still an excellent texture. I would get a different flavor next time.

Recommend for a lunch or a light dinner. I tried their spicy crab and mango shrimp. Both were well made and had good flavors- very fresh. The packaging was so neat and clean. However, I was disappointed they forgot to include straws for the bubble teas! I definitely struggled!

The sushi is well described- each roll is as ordered with no surprises and came well packaged! I tried the tuna rolls, salmon rolls, crab, and a mango shrimp roll. The spicy crab roll was really the stand out roll of the bunch- it was spicy and very yummy. The thing that sets this sushi spot apart from others is the sauces. I should've ordered one of each sauce because the ones I tried were bomb- the wasabi, sriracha, avocado, soy, ponzu- it was fun dipping each piece in a different sauce! Get a bunch of sauces!!! This is a really solid fast, affordable, and tasty sushi spot if you need a new delivery/ takeout option. The boba tea was also delicious. I got the black tea and jasmine- but were scrumptious and only $6 with PLENTY of boba.
