This happened September of last year. They have a service add tips by himself. If you go to there please notice the check order details , do not pay the tips twice. My boyfriend just give them his card, he add tips again under the amount. So please please please count your amount. ( sorry I lost my pics)

A small, nice place to hang out with every option of food you can think of. They have teas, street food, snacks, hot pots, and ice cream. There are so many flavor and the prices are resonable. Place are usually crowded tho, if you go with a group of 10+, I don't think everyone will have space to move around. Their fresh fruit teas look amazing n exact like the pic. The most worth it place to try in Chinatown of Chicago

We get the hot pot here and it is delicious! They have good options. Lots of noodles, fish, meats, and vegetables. They just recently renovated and we haven't been back since they've opened, but if you are looking for hot pot you can't go wrong here.

this is 4th time back and they really nailed down the soft serve. The Matcha soft serve is on point. One of the only places in the city for matcha soft serve.

The Shabu Shabu was fun and delicious. It's easy to customize and get the flavors you want. The grilled chicken on skewers from the appetizer menu is easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. We had to order a second batch. The original bubble waffle was light and fluffy and the drink selection is impressive and delicious... also very instagramable if that's your thing.

OK tea at a busy location, slow service and a weirdly shaped space with no place to wait.They also have hot pot here, which is an odd combination which forces some compromises. Servers are forced to squeeze around people to deliver hot pot food items and people waiting for tea have to do so in a space smelling like peppers.

Really fun experience!! Enjoyed doing the hotpot. Seeing pictures of some of the most beloved anime characters together was awesome. The bubble waffle was really good, but the marshmallows were hard. Also, the server wasn't very helpful given it was our first experience. The tea's are so BOMB! I would give another try.

The quantity of meat we got with our shabu shabu was more than adequate I’m leaving this place full. The staff was nice and the water was served without ice which I appreciate a lot. There are not many seats but it was worth it. The food also came out super quick (keep in mind I’m talking about the shabu shabu) I see people leaving worse reviews because of the line size? Lol no, I rate based on quality, and this place has plenty of it for the money.

Their white cap is the best I’ve ever had!! It is small and overcrowds easily. They opened an extension upstairs that is very nice for dinner. The hot pot was really good too. Upstairs was peaceful, clean, and a bit fancy

We went there for dessert and they had lovely ice cream called bubble waffle ice cream. It was amazing. We took strawberry one and that wasn’t too sweet and filled with strawberries kiwi and many more. Loved it. And also fruit tea was lovely too. Staff was good. Only problem is place is little bit small so you don’t have enough space to wait and select what you want to order. They have a long menu so you need some time to think. Overall loved it. We gonna go again for dinner also.

I love boba and I absolutely loved this place. My friends and I came to visit Chicago and it was one of the places that we've heard raving reviews for and it was worth the visit. I loved every drink that I got and they all tasted delicious and well made. They offer their boba in plastic bottles, that you can close and open your drink with, instead of plastic cups with a plastic film top.This was a good place for groups, dessert/drinks on the go, and a cool casual place to hang out.

So, we were just finished eating,all of us decided to order some drinks to go, then we noticed on the bill that they charged us service fees for a take out order which means they added it themselves without asking us. I find this very ridiculous since we did not stay there, hence the worker did not have to do any kind of serving us besides making the drink. Extremely unreasonable for applying such things on our bill. Definitely not coming back. I don't mind spending couple of dollars, just don't treat us like we're fools.

I have been to here a few times and have gotten bubble tea, bubble waffle, and hot pot here. All the food I had from them were really good. The pot for the hot pot itself is kinda small (around 6 or 7 inches) compared to what I'm used, but I when started eating with my friends, I didn't really notice any difference. We asked for some extra broth and they gave us some for free. Service is fine but mostly because a lot of people go here just for bubble tea or ice cream/bubble waffle.

Got the Smores waffle bowl - was really good, really big, but a bit pricey (and too big to finish, but no to go containers/lids). It's a fast stop - hard to sit or stay, kind of tiny.

We always stop here for drinks and bubble waffle ice cream when we are in town. Always get a different drink and they are always delicious. Only downside is the restaurant can be crowded and the tables are usually for guests that are dining for shabu shabu.

Place has failed me once since I never had anyone approach me and ask for my order, or even bother give me the menu. Am setting this aside, I think it would be best if you go and order drinks that would come in an interesting container.

This place was so delicious. Top quality meat, tasty broth, amazing sides. Feels homestyle, definitely the kind of food that brings people together. As this was my first time in Chinatown, I was very impressed and happy to try this Shabu Shabu plus. I will recommend, and come back if I am in the area.

Good hot pot place! You can get beef or seafood! I'm not a fan of sushi, they are good price but more like grocery store sushi. Yummy noodle! Slow service, really depends on your waitress. Best ice cream place and varieties of milk teas, bubble teas!!!! Great value for hot pot!

One of the best bubble tea places in Chi town. They give enough bubble and they give you great portion size and reusable bottles. Compared to other bubble tea places charge a lot of money for small size cup. Flavors are good definitely coming back. ☺️ The negative reviews complain about the smallest things, obviously it is going to be crowded because it is popular bubble tea shop 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The House Matcha Ice Cream Bubble Waffle with Matcha Soft Serve, hot-out-of-the-maker waffle, white mochi, house-made stewed red bean, and Matcha Pocky. Pretty sweeter than I could afford. They have a to go glass bottle for the bubble tea. The shabu was pretty good. The condiment was $1, though.

I’ve come here time after time hoping my milk tea will come out good.. it never does. The first time I came my drink was made to perfection & even had the ice cream with bubble waffles that are pretty good. The emphasis being on the drinks however leaves me disappointed every time I have come here after. Drinks always taste watery with none of the flavor of your choosing. The drinks are overpriced for a subpar product which is unfortunate. It’s almost like you’re just spending extra money for the reusable bottle. Kung fu tea is a much better option that’s cheaper and full of flavor. Really cannot recommend this place anymore. Very disappointing
