“The owners are so wonderful and the environment is GREAT. Service was amazing and overall just a good place to go for a sweet treat with your family or just yourself lol“

“So many flavors to try. Tried the Taro milk tea and Lychee Like You with boba today. So good. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken has a great flavor - definitely try it!“

“Just wow. Ali and his team is fire 🔥
We tried the mini pancakes with milk chocolate and strawberries and the peach mango smoothie we come here very often and get the exact same thing and love it absolutely. Ali goes above and beyond in terms of service. Will recommend it 10/10.“

“Their Jasmine Hot Tea with egg nog boba was delicious!!! Loved the cup with heart stopper ❤️. So cute. This hot drink has been the best hot drink I’ve tried this year! To top it off I noticed they had games you can play, so this is great for a group of friends or family! Also plenty of parking!“

“I just wanna say their bento boxes are sooo good. Like whoever making them back there putting their all into it cause it’s so good and perfect. They are also well accommodating to request. Everything taste so fresh. Staff is also really nice and attentive!!!“

“I’ve been coming here a while since they opened. It’s great to have this location in downtown Mount Prospect.
I live within walking distance, live right across from the library.
As always, the owners as you can see the gentleman in the pictures always smiling happy that we are all enjoying his restaurant.

The husband and wife team are amazing people there they have a great display of machines, snacks, Ramen, and the best fun drinks.

Today I went by because I was on a huge DoorDash order. It’s great to be able to come here as a customer and as a delivery driver.

So many drinks I took to a companies office.

It’s so great that the owners has the order ready for me as I arrived and can do very large orders.

I know my customers are happy. I’ve seen people sitting there with a smile and I’m so glad they are here with us in downtown Mount Prospect.

We’ve had our place since 2016 and I’ve seen many buildings and businesses come into our area.

Well, I’m happy. The owners are here with us. I hope they stay with us for a long time. Have a great day and enjoy your bubbles.🫧🥤“

“i love this small business 😚 they’re always super friendly and kind. my fav is the brown sugar milk tea and their thai tea is also yummyyyy ◡̈ come support their cute small business!!!“

“I had dropped one of my drinks on the way out and I felt really bad , but I went back inside and asked if I could get it remade or purchase another one and the employee was the kindest and remade me the drink really fast and would clean it up on her own. Thank you boba heaven 🥲🙏“

“I've been twice, and both times were lovely. it's both a fun and relaxing atmosphere and is a great place to just sit down and relax.“

“Amazing place to chill and hangout with friends and to do some of your homework“

“This place just opened and its fantastic! The best Thai milk tea ive had. Most places it seems uses a Sweetened mix but here you actually taste the fresh brewed tea. And the tapioca boba has good flavor and the perfect texture. My daughter loves the oreo ice blend also. Tastes just like eating a cookie.“

“Rejoice! The place for some great Chinese teas had arrived near you! Yes, it does share the fad with the Taiwan born boba drinks. But our eye was caught by the nice website with images of nice teacups and ambiance. Only 23 miles away from home we discovered that the trip in a hot and still pandemic day was totally worth it. In few words owner, Shaolong picked the teaist vibes in us and offered us a great real experience of sharing a favorite tea - he introduced us to the wonders of Zhang Ping Shui Xian (漳平水仙). Unlike the real "black tea", the Pu-erh, this one also comes in bricks, yet is a type of oolong with an amazing floral scent. We were honored with 4 different samples which we are currently slowly and thoroughly testing (3 pics). And yes, the fermentation levels are different - some definitely will give you a great oolong taste, but others are just a unique elixir on its own. But back to the house itself. I see and hope for great unrolling potential. This could become a place for tea lovers and teaists in training. Why not theme days, classes, shared experiences, a club? We would join. The 23 miles are a drive, but there isn't much of a real tea-drinking place in our Chicagoland (unlike smaller cities in North America like Portland and Montreal). However, Living Water Tea House is a great promise and it totally won our full support! Keep the cups warm!“

“Organic and not powdery at all! Very sweet so I recommend 50% sweet to start. Kinda expensive but worth it! Their boba is made in a special marinade so it’s better than the average!“

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻“

“Best boba I’ve ever had, amazing!!!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“

“Delicioso! Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Absolutely love their tea. It is a much needed treat during study sessions. �“

“Went in for the first time last week and I can’t wait to go back again! Ordered their cookies and cream shake and asked for it to be a little less sweet and they made it perfect! I also got a taro boba and that was delicious as well. The boba pearls were soft and chewy. The ladies at the front were very friendly and they gave me a small sample of the taro tea to try before I ordered it. Overall a great experience!“

“This is a fantastic place to get breakfast whenever you are heading to work on weekday rush hour!“

“The popcorn chicken and egg waffle were very good. Excellent place to hang out and enjoy some bubble tea and great snack foods😋!“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“We ended up here twice on a recent visit to Chicago. Located in Wicker Park, Uni Uni is conveniently located between a variety stores. On our second trip, they offered to let us sample some of the toppings as we noted that my daughter wasn't a fan of the crystal boba that she got on her last visit. She ended up substituting the crystal boba for the strawberry popping boba. The drinks were delicious, the staff was helpful and the restaurant was adorable.“

“Legit bubble tea! Hot fresh takoyaki! What a pleasure.“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“The Banh Mi sandwich was honestly one of the best ones I've ever had. The lemongrass chicken was juicy and flavorful. The bread was exactly how it should be (crunchy outside, soft and fresh inside). All the veggies (carrots, daikon, cilantro, cucumbers) were fresh. The sauce was a perfect amount which brought everything together beautifully.“

“I love the drinks and food“

“It used to make really good drinks, but I don’t know what happened recently. I ordered Uji matcha boba today and it was totally watered down. The matcha they use is strong, which I really like, but it doesn’t taste like before…maybe it’s more water than before? I am leaving this review hoping it can taste like before“

“Such a delicious treat in any kind of weather.“

“highly recommended. She owned the Philippine resto next to mart and the food is really good and affordable.“

“Super cute and yummy! Great spot for a family adventure or to chill with friends.“

“Best pho north of Chicago!! We will definitely come back even though it’s about a 30 min drive for us! Great service and great food!“

“We stopped here on a whim while we waited for a tire repair at the local Firestone. Super friendly staff. Lots of customers coming in to place orders. My husband daughter ordered fries chicken and chicken tenders with fries and they did warn us it would take twenty mins because they cook them fresh to order. They were the crispiest, tastiest, flakiest pieces of chicken. The fries were awesome too. I had a single chicken taco and it was fresh, flavorful and delicious! We also ordered some bubble tea blended drinks that were good. I'm glad we stopped here.“

“The seasonal specials are not only creative but delicious! Tried the Carmel apple cider sundae. In a word fantastic! Worth the trip from Schaumburg! Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. See you soon!“

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!“

“Phenomenal and reasonably priced boba drinks, the tapioca here is SOO GOOD (sweet and perf texture), delicious green tamales (got one just to try, super impressed, would have bought a dozen if they weren’t so expensive @2.75/ea), amazing service, clean, and welcoming environment!! 10000/10“

“Their horchata boba is very flavorful! They also provide board games to play while enjoying their tasty treats, adding to the cozy atmosphere :)“

“Casual, affordable place. I had the wide noodle Pad Thai with tofu and it was good. Friendly customer service and no pressure. Go here if you want to relax and have some decent food. I've been here a few times. Oak Park is charming as well.“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“I got a pumpkin spice latte with brown sugar boba and the tapioca was super soft, chewy and warm! They’re also doing a Barbie collab right now which allows you to get a free Barbie straw topper if you get one of their Barbie themed drinks; I tried the Barbie Pink-Ade last time and it was refreshing!“

“Great food, my wife and I had the Hunan beef and Beef fun. Very delicious wel portioned and not at all oily. Very flavorful. Staff is cordial snd helpful. Hope this restaurant stays open for a long time, definately will be going back. YUM!“

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone“

“The food here is fantastic“

“I have always loved this place, I have been going here for more over 3 years to get my boba and I love the K-pop vibe always. The only thing they should maybe work on is have more than one person working. But the boba is delicious and love the decor💗“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“
