The food was absolutely delicious and felt truly authentic Taiwanese cuisine, and the service was outstanding. It’s a small place, but incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lady who helped us was so sweet, and the service was truly top-notch. It was my first time here, yet I was treated like a longtime customer they’d known for years. Highly recommended.

Extremely tasty and extremely authentic coming from someone who grew up in Taiwan. Operated by some of the kindest and nicest people I’ve ever met! What a lovely and awesome couple. They really know what they’re doing. I cannot wait for my next visit as I’m writing this. The drive from anywhere you’re coming from is well worth it. I wish I lived in Arlington Heights to get this more often!!!
I really liked everything I got: beef noodle soup, beef dumplings, popcorn chicken, braised minced pork bowl, bento boxes, boba, Taiwanese sausage, pickled veggies, etc.

Tugo Tea House consistently delivers exceptional Taiwanese cuisine, with every dish demonstrating impressive quality and authenticity.
The beef noodle soup offers a rich, deeply flavorful broth paired with tender beef and well-textured noodles, while the popcorn chicken stands out for its perfectly crispy exterior, juicy interior, and distinctive house seasoning that vividly recalls the vibrant atmosphere of a Taiwan night market.
Every offering maintains this high standard, providing genuine satisfaction and making Tugo Tea House a premier destination in the area for authentic Taiwanese flavors and premium bubble teas. Highly recommended.

Ok so 3 separate times I have gone here, wasn’t advertised on here or on their phone voicemail that they would be closed. Sometime they randomly don’t have food anymore to serve and it’ll be like 3pm. This is extremely frustrating because I’ve heard good things.

Small store. Only two 4-seats tables and one 3-seat table. We came and order was placed 11:53am. Food came 12:23pm. Food is ok. Service is the slowest I’ve ever had. Don’t come in if you’re hungry.

Delicious Taiwanese cuisine. Tastes like what you would find in Taiwan 😀. The beef noodle soup is heavily spiced in a great way, and everything else we have tried (tofu bento, braised pork bento, popcorn chicken, Taiwanese hot dog) has been equally enjoyable. 👍

Delicious beef noodle soup and boba served in a small unassuming space. Great vibes, too. We'll be coming back for more soon!

This place is an absolute gem. If you're looking for an incredible boba tea and smoothie spot with food look no further.
Their drinks are consistently good. The food here is also top-notch. The owner and the entire staff are so nice — you will be treated like family and their kindness makes it a great experience.
Highly recommend stopping by! You’ll get amazing drinks and leave with a smile on your face.

the owners are incredibly friendly and the food is delicious 🤤 we live in the city and. come out to the burbs just for their beef noodle soup and braised pork rice. prices are reasonable and portion sizes / ingredients are extremely generous. absolutely recommend checking them out!
This place has been open for 6 years, across street from Hersey High School. It offers authentic Taiwanese food, and it has a lots of unique drinks. I tried the popcorn chicken and pork chop combo, the size is large, food prepared very fresh, the taste is good. the shop is spark clean, very tastefully decorated. The service is very friendly. Very worth a try. I will come back and try other menu items.

Dee-licious! My friend took me here saying it was the best Taiwanese restaurant. Never knew it was tucked behind the Target store in AH. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was excellent with huge chunks of tender beef. The popcorn chicken was crunchy and perfectly salty. And the pork chop bento box had the largest piece of pork I have ever seen. Lots to eat! We’ll be back for sure.
This place always has delicious boba drinks and food too! I like that I can change the sweetness level of my drink too.
DELICIOUS food! Highly recommend the beef noodle soup and the popcorn chicken!! The staff is also so kind ☺️
