Walked into Uniuni during the Argyle Night Market and there was no wait! Placing an order was easy at their digital kiosk where you could customize your drink/food however you wanted. Both drinks pictured are the Ancient Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Tapioca but I added cheese foam to mine which was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try their food options and spend time in their cute cafe. read more

The iced Rose Latte with Milk Mochi, Sago and no sugar!!!! Absolutely amazing. I feel like this drink was personally made for me. I love it. No other drink and snack shop makes this unique drink and the only problem I have is the fact it doesn't have an option to make it LARGE. My heart is absolutely happy. Ever since this place got new management it has improved immensely!!! The cool owner is super friendly and I think that's what makes this place stand out amongst all the cute drink and snack shops in Argyle. I love this location and so does my son and his cousins. I ordered today, and got the opportunity to sample a potential new menu item and it was absolutely delicious. There isn't anything to hate about this place. Customer service is on point, food and drinks are on point and the place is cute and spacious. I highly recommend Uni Uni Argyle they have great quality cups for their drinks and that's another thing I love. A lot of places serve you drinks in cheap cups. Uni Uni has strong cups and lids, perfect for your ride and won't spill out the cup. Thanks for the great conversations every single time I've gone here. You guys rock. read more

Firstly, shoutout to the staff. There was two of them and they handled a dinner rush like pros. When we got there and ordered there were only a couple of people ordering and by the time I had gotten out of the bathroom the lobby was full. Secondly, the decor of the place is pretty cool. Great Wall design, mini arcade, very instagrammable. In terms of drinks - we liked them a lot. I had the Lovebirds Tea with Coffee and Tapioca and that tasted pretty good, and I love coffee so that was good for me. And my wife got the uni fruit combo Jasmine green tea and she liked that as well. Well come back next time and order food too! read more

Got the peach watermelon Jasmine Green Tea Yakult with 30% sugar and less ice. I thought it tasted quite watered down and everyone that I was with also said it wasn't very good. I don't taste the yakult either but it taste like water with a hint of watermelon and mainly jasmine flavor. Service was okay and lot of seating. read more

Stopped by Uni Uni and got a pineapple smoothie, which was solid and refreshing. I've heard their bubble tea is what they're known for, so I'm looking forward to trying that next time. The place has lots of seating, which is nice you can sit down and enjoy your drink rather than fighting for a spot. Seems like a great hangout spot and I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! read more

What a fun experience going to a pop up here. I ordered the Grapefruit Mango Sago drink at 70% sweetness and it was PERFECT for me. They have delicious snacks as well....and the whole atmosphere was super chill and cool. The service was super quick and also super friendly. I don't live close enough, but I know if I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming here for some Boba! read more

I got the pu'er milk tea with milk mochi. I wish the tea flavor was a bit stronger and for there to have been more mochi. Value isn't great either - it's pretty small of a drink for over $7. This location is pretty spacious though, good for doing work. read more

Got a green milk tea for the second time. It was a waste of money.... It tasted nothing like green tea and tasted like plain, luke warm milk. Very disappointed. Won't be coming back. read more

Got some bubble tea from this place on Argyle. It looks like one of those cartoonish bubble tea shops, and it is. Uni Uni has a few locations, including this one in Uptown. Has many teas to choose from. There's milk teas, as well as some non dairy milks to use as a substitute. A good place for an Asian business. It's among the many of these along this street. The inside isn't that big but has more than enough tables. A lot here to get. It's about $6 for a latte. Last time I got the Soy Milk Black Tea Latte. It was pretty good without being overly sugary and helped me to get cool. The rest of the menu features teas with the cheese foam that's on top. Has a lot for those who like bubble tea and other coffee. It's closed Tuesdays. There's milk teas as well as some that are okay for vegans. read more

Uniuni - Soy Milk Black Tea Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Odd first impression. First off i walked in to the overwhelming odor of fish - not in a good way - and obv that was such a displeasant experience. Second, the menu seemed different than what I usually expect from a boba/bubble tea place. I usually order strawberry or honeydew milk tea. The menu at the kiosk didn't have these options. I ended up ordering a "special" strawberry milk tea with milk mochi. I'm not sure what milk mochi is tbh. Also for $8, the cup is really small. I get bubble tea from time to time and it's almost always in a 20 oz+ cup. THAT SAID, the girl working put a lot of effort into making this drink, even muddling fresh strawberries. The drink itself isn't quite what I usually get and love. It's okay but not what I was expecting. read more

Smoothie joint, smoothie joint, smoothie joint, tehehe! Post completion of my run nearby, I discovered Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago after a quick search of restaurants with 'Smoothies' via yelp. Uni Uni Uptown just happened to be ranked number eight within a radius of the area I was in, and not too far off from my route which made it very acceptable to choose. I ordered their large strawberry smoothie with cloud cream online via yelp after briskly scrolling through the menu. Ordering online via the yelp application was very convenient because by the time I arrived to pick up my drink, it was ready behind the counter upon my arrival. Uni Uni Uptown itself sits within what is referred to as Chicago's second Chinatown, West Argyle Street Historic District amongst a plethora of businesses and restaurants. During this visit, I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot as I entered the area which was pay by the plate. If you are not fortunate as I was, keep in mind that there is neighborhood parking, as well as parking off some of the side streets of W Argyle St. I just could not resist taking a sip of my strawberry smoothie after getting inside of my vehicle. Mmm, it was so good! Eeek! Brain freeze! Ya'll! And on top of being charmed out of my panties after my first sip, these taste buds of mine were surged with that cold delicious strawberry smoothie flavor that I love and desired. Since I am now familiar with Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago, I would gladly order from again, which would more than likely be in the same fashion post completion of a run nearby. And besides, it allows me to once again visit the West Argyle Street Historic District. Recommendations: Uni winter special hot drinks (brown sugar ginger rose black tea); Signature smoothies (banana smoothie, strawberry smoothie, mango smoothie); Flavored yogurt with crystal boba (strawberry yogurt, peach yogurt); Flavored yakult (peach watermelon jasmine green tea, passion fruit jasmine green tea, lemon pineapple, kiwi); Fresh fruit tea (grapefruit jasmine green tea, uni fruit combo jasmine green tea, navel orange jasmine green tea, pineapple jasmine green tea with passion fruit, strawberry orange jasmine green tea). ~ Yabba dabba doo! ~ Thomas G read more

Uniuni - Fruit combo Jasmine tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Got the basic assam tea to try and it is very average. It's too creamy so the flavor of the tea is masked. I came for the tea not the cream.

Ini ini is a boboa tea place in China PL Chicago IL. The tea place was cute yet simple. This place of origin was founded right in the heart of Chicago with a selection of actual fruit yet blended with different mixtures such as honey, foam cheese. Boba and much more. There are many selections on the drink menu. I requested to get the yogurt strawberry crystal boboa which has honey filled boba. It was very delicious and they put actual real strawberries inside. I don't recommend anyone lactose tolerant tho to try the yogurt drinks because it is heavy on dairy but they have other options such as fresh blended juices as well. Not only do they have drinks but they have a light menu as well where you can order chicken popcorn, homemade Taiwanese sausage, takoyaki, chicken nuggets and crispy fried squid. This place is definitely worth a try! read more

Good tea. Standard bubble tea shop. The lychee peach tea was excellent and my boyfriend liked the orange jasmine tea

Ordered online for 4 drinks. Ordering online was relatively easy. I liked how drink selections were broken down based on different categories. I've tried Uni Uni from Chinatown so I was excited to its opening in Uptown. I've only had milk tea but wanted to venture out today. I ordered 4 drinks online. When I arrived, only 2 drinks were ready for pick up, and they thought it was my complete order, until I showed my online order receipt. I had to wait while they make my 2 new drinks. I understand they've only been open for a little while. We ordered 2 Mango Jasmin green tea with cheese foam. These were also the 2 drinks that wasn't made when I have arrived. We didn't like it at all. What I did like, was the mango yogurt with crystal boba. It's on the expensive side- whopping $6.55 for a large, but it was quite fulfilling and I liked the taste. Strawberry smoothie with cloud cream was ok. I did have to call prior to ordering to ask about allergen info and he was pretty direct. For awhile, my phone call didn't go through so I am guessing store was busy, which is a good sign! I'll be back, and hopefully to earn 1 more star from me! read more

Absolutely LOVE Uni Uni!! The drinks are so flavorful and fresh. I got their Yakult passion fruit green tea, which I've gotten several times before and it never disappoints! Quick service and easy ordering. The shop is also so cute and has fun decorations and wall painting for cute pictures!! read more

I ordered the regular signature milk tea, light ice, little sugar, with bubbles. It was good, but it was not worth $6.33 at all. When you order at the machine, there is a credit card fee and it just makes your drink so much more expensive. Pay cash if you can! Maybe cause they're new, but the workers didn't acknowledge me when I entered, they didnt ask me if I needed any help, and they didn't update me on my drink status. I stood there for 5 minutes waiting for my drink and watched them occasionally glance at me while making mobile order drinks. It was not until I asked them how much longer I'd have to wait did they tell me it would be another 5 minutes for the bubbles to cook. I was the only customer in the store too. My drink was good! The flavor of the tea and milk blended well, and the bubbles were perfectly chewy. It's just that I would not pay almost $6.50 for that size and for a plain milk tea. I would probably go back occasionally to try the more unique drinks, but I think I'd choose Kung Fu tea around the corner because it just seems more worth it for the type of milk teas I go for. read more

I absolutely love this bubble tea. Korean corndog place. I always come and get the hot Cheetos corndog with half cheese have hotdog and it never disappoints. I've been switching up the bubble tea and have not been disappointed in them at all. This is definitely my favorite bubble tea/ corn dog place in the wicker area! the place is super cute and they are good amount of tables to sit at. When you order you do it off of the kiosk so you don't really chat with any of the workers. Overall I love this place. read more

TERRIBLE! Waited over 25 min for ONE DRINK! Slow Sunday with about 6 customers and only ONE male worker making all the drinks while the other female worker is wondering around doing nothing! read more

I have to give this place 3 stars because the service is consistently and painfully slow. Fortunately, there are always customers in side, but even if there are 2 people ahead of you, you could be waiting for over 15 minutes for your bubble tea. In an area where there are 3 additional bubble tea places within 3 minutes of walking, Uni Uni is going to need to step it up or lose out to the competition that has been here far longer. This location is a rotating storefront that has changed over multiple times in the past several years, with trendy quick cuisine coming and going. I do love the iced bubble green tea with pineapple and passion fruit but even that is inconsistent sometimes too (sometimes no passion fruit seeds evident). read more

Takes credit card. There's kiosk where can order. Also can order in-person. Boba is soft. Also has crystal boba and tons of other topping options. Strawberry Orange Jasmine Green Tea w/ crystal boba $6.50 50% sugar, 50% ice. Surprisingly good flavor. Brown sugar bubble fresh milk $5.50. soft boba. Good flavor. read more

Great food and service! We got a few drinks and all came out great. Best part is they are open late!

Taste wise I thought it was fine! Nice and refreshing - wasn't too sweet at 50% sugar. A little bit too pricey ($7~) for my boba standards. The service could be a little better as well, they didn't call out our order for some reason and we asked if it was ready and they said it wasn't. But then they "found" it and gave it to us. read more

We stopped by this place while walking around after dinner and I must say the brown sugar was milk tea was a little too milky and lacking the tea & brown sugar flavor. I've had my share of milk teas and this one just wasn't one of my faves due to the milkiness. Would maybe come back and try maybe a refresher or one of the fruit teas instead but there are so many different boba places in the area. I also wasn't a fan of the customer service so all in all not a great experience! read more

Uniuni - This is their Strawberry Yogurt with Crystal Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My partner and I came here on Wednesday for a quick bite to eat and a drink before we walked over to the Aragon Ballroom. We ordered ahead on their Google listing through Chowbus. When we walked in, the staff didn't greet us, and we were like pick up for Shirley please. He looked up and went to look at the orders, didn't say a word and went back to doing his thing. Shortly later, another guy comes out from the kitchen with boxes of popcorn chicken, and they communicated amongst each other, and we assumed it was our's since we ordered 2 boxes of it (an order each per person), and 2 drinks. There was no one else in line at the time besides us, and we spent almost $30 for them to not appreciate the business, and then the popcorn chicken had obvious pieces that were of bad quality -- it tasted plasticky. The spicy seasoning is definitely on point but not really evenly distributed. I've had better popcorn chicken where it was crispy throughout and all great cuts and quality of chicken and the spices are evenly distributed. The drinks were good, and everything was accurate and efficient. If you want them to greet you or have basic customer service, this ain't it. If you're here for the drinks, this is it. If you don't mind the quality of the chicken going down here and there, this is also it. It's not bad, but come see for yourself maybe it's my luck of the draw. I prefer the Chinatown location way more, and not sure if it's the same owner or not. read more

Checked this place out since I was on my way to do groceries in argyle. They took over the old Bingo Tea location (cries). However this place is worth checking out! Due to covid, there's only takeout. I asked the workers what'd they recommend since it was my first time. The workers are limited in English but were still helpful. So far I've tried the ancient brown sugar milk tea with boba and pudding. I think the flavor is pretty solid. More milky than tea flavor though. I don't know about the other flavors, but the menu seems pretty unique and interesting. The tapioca seemed pretty chewy but it was hard to drink out of the boba straw lol. My only remark is it is pretty pricey. I did order a medium drink too. Definitely check it out for yourself! Support a local (boba) business too. read more

Went for the grand opening in Uptown & the BOGO deal was well worth it. I got the soy milk tea with soy milk foam & milk pudding with boba. It was the subtle sweet I love when I get black milk tea. The other drink was Strawberry Yogurt with crystal boba & it reminded me of a dinner milk shake which left me feeling nostalgic but with a twist. read more

Uniuni - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Uni Uni... I really expected better and I am going to start this review by stating that it must've been an off night or just one of them days (as R&B artist Monica once said). Imagine this... it's a Saturday early evening and the place has about 12 folks sitting, already served and two servers on their phones chilling. They immediately put it away when we walked in and greeted my friend and I. We ordered quickly with no additions or special orders. When I tellllllll you it was as if my friend and I asked for the complicated order, it took over 10 minutes for them to make the drinks. Now for those of you who state that's not a long time..... bye. I've been to both Uni Uni establishments multiple times prior when the lines were out the door and I orders and my drink was made and ready within 5 minutes and that's being generous. We asked for their signature Uni Uni milk tea drink. Either way it go it was off for me. I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this thought when the women after me made eye contact as to say wtf is taking so long? Another reason they get 3 stars and that's being nice is because I was originally told that Uni Uni does not do non dairy milk tea beverages. I inquired once more before ordering because I go to so many bubble tea places that I didn't want to confuse it with another establishment. The guy literally pointed to an entire section of the menu and said these are non dairy. I was like bet. Say less. I asked what Assam was and if it was black tea. Homie said nah. I'm like uhhh ok. So what is it? He said it was hard to translate. (*giving maaaaad squint eye here*). Mmmh. Ok gimme the drink I guess this is my fault but child between the milk and black tea, my IBS was more TRIGGERED than a Jhene Aiko album. Needless to say, If you're like me, just stick to the fruit juice drinks at Uni Uni. Would I return? Tbh I'm not sure. read more

I would actually give a 3.5. I prefer fruit smoothie boba, not teas, but have been wanting to try this for a while. Nice size place, fun. Easy to order, LOTS of options. Parking can be tough, but street parking is what to expect. If I'm in the neighborhood I would go back. read more

I really wanted to love this place (my friend really likes the Chinatown location), but I didn't have the best experience here. My friend and I came in on a Saturday night around 8:45pm after dinner in the area. A group of people had just left, and we were the only people in the shop. I was reading the menu and looking for a caffeine free option, since it was already late and I didn't want to be up all night. After a just few minutes of looking at the menu, the staff started pressuring us to order because they were about to close. I asked them to recommend me a caffeine free drink, and they recommended a jasmine tea. I trusted them and went with it and asked for boba in my tea as well...or so I thought. To my disappointment, my drink came out without any boba :( I didn't bother asking about it since I could tell they were hurrying to close up ASAP. To make things worse, turns out the drink they recommended DID have caffeine...I was up late that night :( On the bright side though, the tea was delicious and the place and products are all super cute. I loved the boba straw decor they had for the holidays! I might give this Uni Uni location another chance and come back earlier in the day. I think the 5-star potential is there, and I hope my experience was an outlier. read more
