Located on the corner of Sheridan and Pratt, Taichi Bubble Tea, Ramen, and Poke Bowl boasts a great atmosphere with its big bay windows that offer a pleasant dining experience. However, while the setting may be inviting, the food and service may leave much to be desired. The ramen broth gives off the impression of being premade and lacks the freshness and quality expected in a traditional ramen dish. Additionally, the noodles were noted to be undercooked, detracting from the overall taste and texture of the meal. It appears that Taichi may be capitalizing on current food trends without fully delivering on the authenticity and flavor that customers seek. For those in search of authentic and delicious ramen in Chicago, there are likely better options available, such as Friends Ramen. Overall, while Taichi Bubble Tea, Ramen, and Poke Bowl may offer a trendy dining experience, it falls short in terms of food quality and execution.

Love the Shoyu ramen with pork belly. Very generous. I can never eat all of the noodles. Sometimes I order extra broth to have with my left over noodles. The staff is very friendly and professional. I've only had the hot black tea with ginger and it Really helped when I had a cold. I've done takeout and delivery. Next time I have a guest in taking them there. Gonna order right now! ?

"No bathroom." How am I supposed to wash my hands to eat or if I have to use the bathroom while dinning in? Ended up not even going in.

Don’t go here, they have terrible service.I visited this restaurant 2 days in a row while staying at a friend’s house. The wifi was down at my friend’s place, so I went there to work. I would always order something to drink and always tipped.The first day, I brought my water bottle to the counter and asked for them to fill it (the water at my friend’s place tasted pretty sour and I really needed the hydration). When I asked a young woman working there, she filled up my water bottle. But when I asked a man who worked there, he insisted on giving me a tiny cup instead, or on only filling up my water bottle halfway, all while mumbling something under his breath about it. Why? It made me feel like he had a personal problem with me and wanted to fight with me about every little thing. Other bars and restaurants don’t usually have a problem with it.I tried visiting them again on a third day. I arrived fifteen minutes before they opened, so as I waited, I sat outside and started to work on some things on my laptop. And they cut off their wifi! I feel like they’re just really petty. It should have been obvious that I was waiting for them to open and wasn’t just trying to freeload. They lost a paying customer with me.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.

Lovely place with ramen, rice bowls, and boba options.
I’ve been coming here for a while for my sushi burrito fix but noticed they have been SKIMPING on the fish part of the sushi.Over time my orders have reduced in fish:filling ratio, but it didn’t bother me until my last visit when I basically received a rice and vegetable burrito. There was no fish to be found ?Hopefully this reaches the owners and staff bc I like coming here but probably wont order food any time soon if this keeps up.

Very cute little spot within walking distance to our hotel. Very clean and staff were very friendly. Service was swift. Ramen came out piping hot and portions were large. Very big selection of bubble tea flavors to choose from.
The sushi burritos are 13 dollars for a TON of ingredients; you can pick two proteins and get unlimited fillings. Definitely the best sushi burrito I’ve ever had.

I love coming here for boba, food, and to hang out. The interior is very welcoming and cute - they have a section near the register with keychains and plushies for sale and it is a very spacious place, always easy to find a seat. Service is also very fast for both food and boba. I've had their poke bowl for lunch and it was generous and filling. I also love that they have plentiful outlets for hunkering down to do some work. Highly recommend as a spot to check out in Rogers Park.

Delicious bubble tea with so many options! Quick and friendly service every time. And and incredible ambiance with the cutest decor. To top it off they provide eco friendly to go. Love this place!!!

I kept hearing about this place but I finally went today. The crab rangoon and the spicy tonkotsu ramen were delicious. I also got the zang zang milk tea which was so good. The place is cozy. I love the set

Really good bubble tea. Best I’ve had in a while! Also a nice place to study or work on a laptop. Tons of plugs and kpop music
