    I was surprised to see a little bucket for the large instead of the more traditional tall cup. It was $8.99 for the Oolong milk tea and it was good amount for the price. The tea tasted great, balanced with the milk and is one of the better spots in Elmhurst. They were very busy so definitely try to order ahead to avoid waiting 10-15 minutes. It also seems like a nice hangout and chill spot with friends as they have ample seating.

    I'd read a few reviews about Anda and decided to finally give it a try. We've passed by this place countless times, but I was looking for a chill spot where my kid could hang out with a few friends for his birthday--and this café fit the bill perfectly. They serve a mix of ramen, sushi, and snacks (yes, even fried Oreos and takoyaki!), plus milk teas and other drinks. The hangout was a success, and best of all, I didn't break the bank. The food is on the affordable end, so the ramen and sushi are about what you'd expect for the price--decent and satisfying, but not gourmet. They have a "Ramen Lovers" special on Tuesdays where all ramen is 50% off, so we tried both the tonkatsu and beef ramen. The broths tasted pretty similar (LOL), just with different toppings. The noodles were interesting--they used a thin rice noodle, more like what you'd find in stir-fried dishes than in typical ramen--but again, at half off, I couldn't complain. I only paid about $15 + tax for two full-sized ramen bowls, which is a steal. On regular days, you get a free medium drink when you order ramen at the regular price--a great deal, especially for students or anyone on a budget. Their large boba drinks come in a bucket-sized cup and are huge! Taste-wise, the milk teas are pretty standard and similar to other boba spots, but that giant container makes it stand out. Overall, Anda Café is a fun, budget-friendly place for casual hangouts or group get-togethers. Just keep your expectations realistic, enjoy the deals, and you'll have a great time here.

    Was excited to get the bucket sized bubble tea here after seeing the pics. They have a stack of menus by the cashier so I took one to look and the menu options. I order 2 large (which is their bucket size) passion fruit grapefruit iced tea. The paper menu said $7.50 each. 1. The wait time was extremely long to get my 2 drinks. There was one girl behind the register and a guy standing next to her but he didn't do anything. She was the one taking orders and making the drinks while he just stood there as more orders got placed. 2. When I got home and checked the receipt, I saw I was charged a higher price instead of $7.50 each it was $8.25. If the prices changed then you need to update the menu prices. And since she saw me pick up the menu and then order she should have mentioned the prices are different if that's the case.

    Great food, drinks, service and ambiance! Large menu of drinks and snacks. They also serve sushi and ramen and some fried snacks. Highly recommend!

    Shrimp Ramen and Soy Milk Vegan Ramen

    We went to eat local at Anda Boba Tea on Ramen Lovers' Tuesday and the ramen was pretty good! We ordered the soy milk vegan, shrimp ramen, duchess rose tea refresher with boba and the cookies & cream taro smoothie with boba. The shichimi spice blend and soy sauce we tried with the ramen enhanced the flavor of the ramen. A nice cafe to hang out at especially for college students and anyone who is on a budget looking to try unique bubble teas and ramen. They also have cooked sushi which I tried many years ago. This bubble tea cafe still has the cute personified cat paintings displayed on the wall from many years ago. There was only one associate at the register when we got there, but he was tactful although very soft-spoken. Nice ambiance overall with Chinese calligraphy on the red banners, green plants and pop music emanating from the radio speakers. Will definitely be back! There are a lot to pick from when looking through what is presented on the menu.

    I have been here before though I'm surprised I didn't write a review nor upload pictures. Last time I ordered my drink, I received my drink and had no issue. It was great. Yesterday, I went to order a drink. The store opened at 10AM and we were the second customer. We tried to order from the kiosk, only to find out you need a $10 minimum to use a credit card. Thai ice tea cost $8. We went to the cashier, who told us to wait one minute. Not a problem. He came back and we were placing our order for Thai ice tea. He was staring at the phone and calling, and didn't bother to ring up the order. Didn't talk to us and what was going on so we walked out of the store to go where we needed to go. While crossing the street, a woman asked us if we ordered. We didn't and we had to go. We figured out what happened. The person who made the drink didn't arrive and the employee didn't know how to tell us this. If the employee communicated that the person making the drink is nearby and will be here in a few minutes, we would have waited. However with no information or communication of what was happening by the employee, we didn't wait around since we told our group we were coming back and couldn't wait for the drink maker. This isn't normally how this store is. Hopefully next time, the experience will be similar to my previous time.

    We came here after dinner and ordered 4 drinks (3 large and 1 medium) and it came out to $34. The space is really small but has a kiosk thats easy to navigate and customize your order. We ordered large sizes because of the fun novelty but it is expensive and a lot of milk tea. Flavors of the drinks were okay -- they weren't as flavorful as we anticipated, but the pearls were good. I never modify the sweetness on my drinks and full sweetness was not sweet (my cousins confirmed it was on par with the half sugar level drinks we ordered). There's definitely better boba places elsewhere but the novelty size was fun. The handle is pretty sturdy so you can carry it like a bucket.

    Soy Milk Vegan Ramen

    I've been hear many times since I've living in the Elmhurst area. Me and my husband are vegan cans love that they added a vegan ramen option recently. It's delicious! And we love the sweet potato rolls as well. Definitely a great lowkey spot to have lunch or dinner if you're in the area. One of our favorite places.

    Ashley S.

    Loved the place! The Coco Piña was amazing, super refreshing and full of flavor. However, my matcha wasn't mixed properly, which affected the taste quite a bit. I'd love to see better mixing next time to really enjoy it.

    Mango pomelo
    kristin c.

    We are always satisfied with our drinks from here. My favorite is their Mango Pomelo with a lot of mango flavor plus small bits of grapefruit. Their jelly has a good bite to them. Large menu of drinks and prices are good. Tried their spicy salmon roll once but was bit dry. I really go here for their drinks anyway. Service is great, always at least 2-3 people working behind the counter. Clean white decor, ample tables and seating. With a restroom. Pay with cash, give cell number for their rewards system.

    We came here for a mango pomelo after dinner across the street. The drink was so pretty but I wasn't a fan of the taste. I've had many mango pomelos from different bubble tea shops, but this one was overly bitter and the mango was sour. Fresh fruit is so nice but it has to be tasty too.

    Phyu T.

    The popcorn chicken is my go-to every time I visit here. I ordered milk foam earl gray tea with less sugar: which may not have been the best choice for a bubble tea. I have tried their special drink items like mango pomelo which I enjoyed more. The ambiance is really nice: chill music and cool interior. Staff was friendly and service was fast.

Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor.

The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.

We went all in on the skewers with the assorted combo (thigh, breast, meatball, pork belly, the whole lineup including bacon-wrapped everything), plus yaki ika, takoyaki, and fried oysters. On paper, this should've been a fun, izakaya-style spread. In reality, it all landed somewhere firmly in the "fine, I guess" category. The yakitori platter was the biggest letdown--nothing was outright bad, but everything felt a little lifeless. The meats leaned dry, the seasoning didn't quite hit, and even the bacon-wrapped items (which should be a guaranteed win) somehow came off underwhelming. The yaki ika was chewy without much depth beyond the sweet soy + mayo combo, and the takoyaki lacked that soft, almost molten center you want. Fried oysters were decent, but not enough to save the spread. Service matched the food: polite but forgettable.

The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy.

Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender.
