“All the different teas that I’ve tried have been delicious! Love how customizable the menu is. I hope one day they’ll be able to expand their business to more locations so that I don’t have to drive so far to get delicious bubble tea!“
“I love the employees they are super nice & very welcoming! I come here just about every week and they always make my orders exactly how I like them. My two favorites are the Mango freeze with strawberry boba & the Caramel latte with green tea & brown sugar boba!!!“

He got the brown sugar Boba.Mama always makes us laugh and takes great care of us. Perfect for Bible study or double date night!“
“Boba trip is located in a strip mall on cicero. Just off of Cicero, it had very good boba, drinks and a very friendly staff and service. The prices were reasonable and they had many options and ideas. They also were willing to customize drinks for you to your taste. I found the prices reasonable and the staff was very good. I would recommend at least giving this place a try if you're ever in the area of Oak Lawn.“
“Very good waffles and Boba. I like the lotus waffle. It’s one of the cheapest and it has cinnamon, chocolate syrup. It’s so good. They also have white chocolate syrup and they put a lot of everything so trust me you’re waffle is glazed with flavor even though like every other Boba shop it is a little pricey I think it’s worth the money.“
“the drinks were sooo good!!! i didn’t know what to get and the nice barista named ahlam offered me a sample of a lavender lemonade. it was so good. 10/10 recommend. nice customer service and yummy drinks! they’re also serving coffee which was nice to see a variety of drinks being offered. it was also really clean“
“This is THE bobba shop! We got the signature brown sugar fresh milk with tapioca and cheese foam it was lovely. Perfectly sweet but also refreshing, bubbles cooked perfectly too. Make sure you get the cheese topping on whatever drink you get it’s amazing. The bobba cups come with little bear ears, so darn adorable! The place is decorated so cutely too, bunch of spots to chill and take pictures, especially if you have little kids. The staff are also friendly and they inform you about the menu and your choice of drink very clearly, I appreciate that. This is where I take my bobba every time I come to chinatown now.“
“This place wholeheartedly deserves it 5 star review!We walked passed it a few times whenever my gf and I are in Chinatown. I always stare at the newspaper clippings they showcase on the outside because it exemplifies what they have built!All the great reviews and newspaper clippings do this joint justice as it deserves all the praise.We loved the way they top of the lids on their cans right in front of you, then they hand them off. It’s cool thing to visually watch time do it.We tried some of the bao and they weren’t something I’d try again but not bad at all for being a pizza bao and a cookies and cookies and cream“
“Great customer service. The owner Robin is very nice, polite, and friendly. The food is amazing acia bowls are great. The smoothies are amazing. Perfect spot to get some quiet time, study, and get some work done if needed. Clean and welcoming!!! Definitely give this place 5 Stars!!!!“
“I am very picky about my Chinese Food.. I would travel to Oak Park from Chicago South side for food, since trying the food here… I must say the food is excellent, clean energy and nice space… staff nice and food is always fresh…Vegetarian options: Everything nice“
“Am avut experiența de a încerca băuturile acestui brand de băuturi, am băut foarte multe alte băuturi de la alte firme și este o diferență extremă. Băuturile chiar sunt fără coloranți, zahărul este foarte,foarte puțin iar aceasta firmă merită din plin maximul stelelor posibile !! Felicitări conducătorului și să o țineți tot așa !!!“
“My kids and I love coming here. Employees are always very friendly, sweet and polite. It’s nice that they made it a fun little hang out spot for kids. The candy shop in back is a nice touch. Love that there are Fun items to purchase like Funko pop, candy from Japan, and more. Menu has a large variety and many flavor options for Bobba.Can tell the place is growing and evolving over time …. Would love to see another air hockey table or some other forms of games.“
“I LOVE HELLO JASMINE !! EVERYTHING IS JUST SO GOOD! My favorite boba place, they have so many good flavors and I try new ones each time and Im always satisfied, the workers are really nice and communicative. They also have really good promotions and on Instagram leave a follow to stay updated:)“
“We loved the food so much and we ordered more we could eat so we could pack some back to hotel for later. But we went back again the next day for more. That’s how great of the food were! We definitely would come back again when we visit Chicago! So gooooooood~ I forgot to take a picture before I eat.“
“This is a great stop for those exploring Chinatown in Chicago. The seafood is fresh - and even alive! The oysters were massive and delicious. The roast duck was an all star at the table. Explored with the jellyfish, which was perfect with chili sauce. The tofu and mushroom dish with bok choy is a must. Their dumplings are so filling and perfectly crafted with the herbs and meat.“
“I LOVE takoyaki but it's almost impossible to find on the South Side. This was perfect. Soft and savory. The crispy chicken ramen was flavorful and plentiful. A quiet and serene environment. Our for was served quickly and it was piping hot! I would definitely recommend.“
“My daughter loves this place for the fresh (not powdered) taro w. sago drink that they have. The workers have always been pleasant each time.This time I took a picture of the menu so I can look at it and decide what to order the next time we visit lol.“
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“I ordered a green tea matcha boba and horchata boba. The horchata is homemade and delicious! The matcha was delicious as well. Both are XL with extra tapioca. The tapioca balls weren't firm but a little soft and squishy. I don't know if it's usually like that or if the owner/employee cooked them a little long. He was quite pleasant and upbeat as well. Bearded gentleman with glasses. Definetly likely to come again but to try the rolled ice cream! Thank you! ?“
Bubble Tea • $
“I’ve been coming here since they were opened. The place is always kept clean. The food is awesome. Drinks are authentic, not too sweet or made with powder. They made with real brewed tea from Taiwan. I usually come every weekend to give myself a treat. Love this place!!“
“Super cute place with great rolled icecream my husband and I went for my birthday. I gave 4 stars cause although my rolled ice cream and service was good it was so packed/overcrowded no where for people to stand/sit. Trying to leave /come in was challenging.“
“This Kung Fu Tea located in new Chinatown upper level is fairly open space for a bubble tea place. Has a few seating area. You can ordered from the cashier or from the self served on the tablet they have up front. There's plenty of options to choose for milk tea including black, green, oolong or thai milk tea. I liked you can reduce the sugar level on the drink.“
“I came here with my family and we had an amazing time!! Great drinks. Great bites. Great memories and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back more often as their loyalty program is great I cant wait to unlock free items on the menu!!!Dietary restrictions: Everything Is non dairy which is great because I am lactose intolerant“
“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!“
“Experienced MaTea House for the first time today and I loved it �! Amy was so friendly, she answered my questions and was patient as I looked through their extensive menu. They have non dairy creamers and soy milk, which was music to my dairy free ears lol! I ordered the coffee milk tea with tapioca and strawberry bobas, it was delicious! Next time I go to the mall I am so making a trip to MaTea House. �“
“The staff here was very efficient and nice. I can tell they have so many orders right before the eclipse at lunch time, yet they were able to get everything out so quickly. The atmosphere is cute & they have the cutest little uni uni pin for sale.The strawberry lemon jasmine is my favorite!“
“Great, family-friendly service. I came here with my kids, so that was top of mind.The food was delicious, and I was glad that they asked me about the spice level instead of just making it bland. My kids ate without reservations. I recommend the kid's boxes for the kids. It's a great combo for the little ones.“
“Kinda hard to find the location due to it being in a basement like setting of a mall but worth it. Definitely recommend getting 50% + sugar because the teas are quite strong and bitter. The other shops near it have very delicious options to immerse yourself.Parking: Very very hard to find parking might have to park a mile + away if you find some or be ready to pay.“
“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“
“I am an absolute boba fanatic and this is hands down the best tea place in Chicago in my opinion! They use real fruit, real tea and you can adjust everything. Their boba is also the perfect texture! The menu has an abundance of amazing options and you cant go wrong with any of them, which really eliminates the need to go anywhere else! Also has seasonal shaved ice with real fruit! Just AMAZING!“
“Extraordinarily delicious fried chicken. Super crispy crunchy on the outside (even when covered in sauce) and juicy tender meat on the inside. Ordered dine-in and food was ready around 10 minutes after ordering, not too long of a wait at all.We tried 3 different flavors: soy garlic, cheesling, and spicy galbi. All were delicious and would recommend every one. The cheeseling (cheese powder) was my personal favorite, complimented the fried chicken super well for the ultimate decadent treat.“
“We went around 3pm there was no line at the time. The one female employee, maybe a manager, said to us to order at the machine. The way she said it, it seemed like she was annoyed with us. When I said we’re paying in cash, She then told a male employee to take my order.During the time I was waiting for my orders, a drink and a rolled ice cream, the female worker never smiled. Maybe she was having a bad day? I don’t know. Not sure I want to go back after the experience.Food wise, the rolled Ice cream was good, brown sugar matcha was ok.“
“What they lack in room inside of the building they more then make up for in the quality of food. The chicken cutlets were amazing, and not only tasty, but they were pretty massive. Getting a chicken cutlet that is bigger then my hand was a nice surprise and definitely makes me want to come back if I am in the area“
“I got the mango ice cream with mango juice. It was delicious. I could taste how fresh the ice cream and juice were. They were not overly sweet and the fresh mango fruit pieces were perfect. Even though all of it was mango, I feel like they do a great job at making it balanced. I'm not a huge mango fan, I got it mainly for my mangonloving son and I loved it and plan to go back again and trying other things on the menu.“
