We rolled up, got comfy, and sipped our way through a taro slush, strawberry milk tea, mango milk tea, and a strawberry smoothie.... every single one hit just right. No gimmicks, no drama, just top-tier boba and good vibes. If you ever wanted to sip bubble tea while pretending you're in an anime café, this is the spot!! Best day everrr!!

Had a craving for Milk Tea & this was the closest during my drive up north. I got a Lavender Milk…read moreTea & it was competitively priced at $5.60 plus something like 75 cents for boboa/tapioca pearls. Delicious, not too sweet. The highlight was my choice of the add on Cherry Boboa/Tapioca Pearls. Fun to chew. I liked the flavor. Great service, the lady was very helpful with suggestions. Note that there are 2 Bubblicious inside the mall. I had used Google to look for Bubble Tea and it brought me to the correct parking location without a walk. It's next to the Victoria Secret store. Ambiance wise, I'll say I don't like Gurnee Mills. It's a pretty rough crowd though it's just judging by appearances/vibe which always isn't accurate. There's significant police presence both inside & outside the mall. Even lots of K9 dogs inside the mall. This perhaps make it safe...There is very limited seating around the shop so more of a grab your drink & go or walk around.

I tried the Watermelon Green Tea - absolutely amazing. It has a ton of flavor of watermelon but you can still taste the green tea too.

For example, the Kungfu Tea in Libertyville, their tapioca pearls are so inconsistent. Sometimes I go and they're mushy and other times, they're so hard like rubber bullets; they're never made correctly and perfectly every time. That's where Te Amo comes in the picture. Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care. Along with the boba tea, they also sell mochi donuts and basque cheesecake!

Always passed by here finally decided to try it. I ordered a hot ube dalgona with oatmilk, 25%…read moresugar (lowest it allows). It was still a bit too sweet, I would've picked 10% if it had that option. The foam is a bit sour and bitter, kinda shocking. But not until you get to the actual drink part, it's actually not bad. The light bitterness throughout was really good. Both ube and dalgona flavors come out. But I might try to go with more simple/purer flavors, one at a time. I find mixed flavors a bit too much, since not all mixed flavors go well together. Might just go with dalgona by itself next time or ube creme brulee alone. Also, I think the drink I had would've been better cold, as the ice would cut the sweetness to half if I waited long enough. I would've ordered a cold one but cold would've exacerbated my cough, so hot it is. Also wanted to add that the boba were done well, not under or overcooked. The tapioca itself had a nice toasted sugar flavor. As for service, it's mostly a self-service kiosk. Ordering is pretty easy and straightforward, and they have Apple Pay. Interestingly the ordering system is through Chowbus, they text you your order number.

Ube pancake with the ube butter and coconut jelly was made just right. The Galbi topsilog was good. Very rich marinade, not what I like, but on this plate with the garlic rice it works. Drinks were good, the Ube matcha was good on sweetness and the Calamansi lemonade was on point. Customer service was very good, the guy behind the counter saw us looking at the menu and asked if we'd like to hear about the specials... and they checked on us although at the table even though it felt more like a self serve style diner. Overall, good spot to get a quick fix for Filipino food craving.

Came on a Thursday after lunch and it wasn't too busy. Ordered the Tocilog - which is sweet pork with a side of garlic fried rice, and an egg cooked any way you like. Also came with a side of noodles (pancit). Since I was here, decided to order some calamansi wings to go. And of course an ube milk tea. I really enjoyed my meal. The Tocino was a little different from what I'm used to. I'm used to a slab of pork pan fried with the fat fried to a slight crunch lol. I'm also used to tocino being red in color. I guess the tocino here is a little more leaner and no artificial colors - which works for me as I'm kinda allergic to red dye. But it tasted good, very flavorful. Loved the garlic rice as well. Pancit noodles were okay - could have used a little more seasoning but I could dig it Calamansi wings were low key fire. The crisp of the wings were perfection and the meat was not tough - still nice and juicy. I would get these again. They did have other flavors available that I need to come and try as well such as adobo and salt & pepper. Servers were nice and food came out pretty fast.

I had the worst experience with this place. I called to place an order, and the person on the phone…read morerepeatedly told me she was busy. It honestly felt like she didn't want to take my order. Eventually, she said it would be ready in 45 minutes, and I told her my husband would come pick it up. When my husband arrived, she asked for the name and then told him there was no order under that name. She then asked him to repeat everything I had ordered. I called her while he was standing there and told her that was my husband picking up my order. She then handed him two bags. After my husband left, she realized she had given him the wrong order and called me while speaking to another customer. The call went to my voicemail. She told them, "I'm so sorry, that guy stole your food. I'm trying to see if they will bring it back." This was extremely upsetting and unprofessional, especially since the mistake was entirely on their end. The whole experience was disorganized, stressful, and handled very poorly. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of communication and professionalism.
