I personally like the classic hot milk tea here. As someone who is lactose intolerant, this is the only spot I found during my visit in Chicago that is vegan friendly. Owner and staff were kind, atmosphere was nice and chill.

We came here once and ordered iced milk green tea. It was like drinking water. My husband and kid tasted it and said the same.

I got the pistachio milk tea and it’s honestly super bitter and perfumy. And the employees had a whole conversation in their language when we asked if it was sweetened which was honestly weird idk . This was 9 dollars

I have been here several times and my go to order is Taro milk boba tea. Not every place has a good Taro Milk tea but Bingo Tea’s taro milk boba is consistently excellent whenever I go there. They have a variety of jelly and boba. My personal favourite is their lychee jelly. The staffs were courteous and the service was quick.Vegetarian options: Milk tea, iced teaDietary restrictions: Dairy

The tea was just alright, nothing special. I got the lychee milk boba tea and wasn’t blown away. It is pretty much just like every other tea spot.The staff was friendly and willing to help though! The service was quick and the restaurant was clean.

I came here only one time. It’s a small place so seating can be limited if it’s busy. Luckily for us, it wasn’t so we were able to get a table. I ordered a peach oolong tea milk cap with cheese. It wasn’t too sweet. The cheese made the tea more delicious what drinking together. I like that they’re open until 11 pm everyday. Prices weren’t too bad. Service was great.

Don’t get the hot teas here, taste like water. Matcha was expensive and pretty terrible. Waste of money.

Reposted from May 2023: We tried the black milk tea 75% sweet with less ice and regular boba. The drink was good with a strong tea flavor, but the boba was too soft. Will definitely give them another try and update!Bingo used to also sell baked goods - they were so good - note the buns on the wall!

I was craving boba close to midnight and Bingo Tea was one of the only boba places open. They close at midnight!!! The shop is very cute and comfortable. The workers were very nice and friendly and made our drinks very quickly. We got the strawberry matcha, rose oolong tea sea foam, and brown sugar oolong milk tea. The drinks aren't bad at all, but I wish the tea was a bit stronger. The flavors were definitely there. I really enjoyed the combination of the oolong and brown sugar, but again wish the oolong was a bit stronger. As for the boba, it's on the harder side vs soft. It was chewy and sweet. Overall it satisfied my boba craving at 11pm at night!
My friends and I come here 1-3 times a week. The manager and employees are so friendly and accommodating! Yao is also funny! This place has the best passion fruit tea.

Cute Chinatown find alert !! The aesthetic of this place was so so cute--esp the croissants and baguettes on the wall I also really loved how much the brown sugar syrup complemented the milk tea. Thanks for a welcoming late night experience

This is my favorite spot for fruit tea in chinatown and I always get the ultimate fruit tea! I always get it 50% sweet which is the perfect amount of sweetness for me.I love that the tea flavor is strong and shines through, it tastes naturally sweet and they always use a mix of watermelon, orange slices, and berries in the drink. I love to eat the fruit afterwards as well. It's the perfect drink on a hot day as it's super refreshing without being heavy or too filling!

My second time coming here. I really wanted to like it because the place is nice. But the drinks taste very watery and the boba is very okay. Also on the pricier side, recommend going somewhere else.
