    Excellent place for a quick bite! The chicken sandwich is probably among the best I have had. Burger is well seasoned. The staff made good recommendations and were super nice. Wish they'd had hot drinks as well. Will come back!

    Tried this place on grand opening day as the name intrigued me, and the promo content I saw on instagram had my mouth watering. We ended up getting a plethora of items such as the gyro & chicken rice bowl, their chicken bites, the fries, and the banana pudding. Rice bowl had some great seasoning to it, and it all blended well together. The chicken bites had a nice kick to them, and it came with a mayo based sauce for dipping on the side. Seasoned fries were a slight disappointment, but I chalk it up to it the place being packed to the gills on opening day. All in all the food was good and I would be back to order more. As I had said previously, I came here on opening day, and the lines were long and a bit chaotic inside as you couldn't tell there were 2 ways to order. One was the guy at the register, and another was a kiosk off to the side. Food took a bit longer to get out due to the backlog of people in the vacinity. Overall, it was good, and I would want to be back to enjoy another one of their rice bowls and chicken bites!

    Really appreciated the fact that the food is freshly prepared and comes out piping hot. The fries were really good, nicely seasoned and not greasy at all, actually a bit crunchy to perfection. The chicken sandwich and burger we ordered were really nicely flavored. Overall a nice lunch place when craving burger or chicken sandwich with a bit of a kick. We didn't try any drink so can't comment on the bobas they did look nice though.

    Lychee mango smoothie with added metal

    My wife and I stopped by this spot after checking out "Everything Games" in the same plaza. We were looking for a spot to get a smoothie or something to drink, so we saw this place had boba and went for it. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. The store looks great as far as vibe and decor, but when we approached the counter the clerk was making some drinks. There was a QR code menu that we browsed, and the clerk stated we could also use the self-service kiosk. We told her we were new to the place and she directed us to the QR code menu. We ordered the lychee mango smoothie with rainbow boba and the pina colada smoothie. It took longer than anticipated for the clerk to make two drinks, especially considering there were multiple blenders to use but they only used one I get not wanting to clean, but there were only two other patrons in the store and they already had their items. After waiting for a while for our drinks, we finally received them and went on our way. When I tell you the pina colada drink I had was terrible, I mean it. It was bland, didn't taste like pineapple whatsoever, but a weird creamy mush. My wife was drinking her drink when she tasted something odd, and pulled a sliver of metal from her mouth. METAL IN HER SMOOTHIE. See the included pictures if you don't believe me. This is incredibly dangerous and we will certainly never be coming here again! Customers, avoid this place if you can, and if not please check your food and drink before consumption. Thankfully, my wife is fine and didn't get hurt.

    Cute new burger and boba spot that's opened up near by. I didn't try and boba but I did try a burger, their spicy chicken sandwich, their loaded fries, and the banana biscoff pudding. These were all very rich and good. When they say spicy, they mean spicy! So be ready for that if you're not able to handle spice. I'll be back to try their boba drinks sometime soon :)

    watermelon with lime refresher

    they just started breakfast and i was excited and hoping it would be good i would say it was ok but not the best for the prices the qty was not at par as compared to other comparable breakfast options the omelette and the keema was definitely better than the halwa puri and hoping the owner sees this and improves the halwa puri the qty based on the prices is a big issue vs the market the mango lassi was tiny and so was the chai and halwa puri

    Yum yum! Had a hankering for boba and this place satisfies that need. I was in the area and went…read morehere to get a boba freeze. One of my favorite things in the world is Taro so getting a Taro freeze with boba and clear jelly sounds like heaven to me. This is exactly what I got and it was delicious! It wasn't too cold and while there was boba, it didn't overpower the drink itself and neither did the jelly. As expected, this place is overpowered by little youngins with a sweet tooth but I can't blame them. It's not like they made the wait any more longer or shorter. The customer service was good and quick, nothing to complain about. I will continue to come here when I have a boba itch. I've also tried their bingsu which was also really good but....alot. It's packed with red beans which are sweet and delicious, ice cream and fresh fruit. I know for a fact, I cannot finish it on my own so I suggest sharing it with someone else. Other than that, it is certainly a delectable and yummy dessert. Highly recommend. Overall, I will continue to keep coming back here for you Lincolnshire/BG locals, I would encourage you to do the same. Prices are decent and your sweet tooth will be satisfied for sure!

    There's never a bad time for boba! I often swing by here when I need a little treat during the day…read more The options are endless but they have plenty of menu suggestions to help you make a selection. My go tos are banana coconut with mango jelly or just plain avocado. They do have tons of great options but. I find myself gravitating towards those most frequently. The staff is always super friendly, and the service is quick. Even when they have a large group or the shop is crowded you can count on them to have your drink up super quick.

    I'm in love. Seriously, I'm in love. I have been looking for a place that offered dim sum and…read moredumplings for a while now (ever since I experienced them at Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone in Seattle) and I can honestly say that Seriously Sanji is a great place. My wife told me there was a dumpling place in Northbrook and took me there for a late lunch the other day. I know that she's not a fan of dumplings, but "took one for the team" and brought me there. We just ordered basic beverages, her a water and I a Coke Zero. She then ordered Pad Thai and I ordered chicken soup dumplings and chicken sanji. The pad thai came out first and it was a huge portion. She barely put a dent into it and it became two additional meals later. She said it was different than other places she's had it and that it was good, but different. I noticed the chicken pieces were huge chunks and the sauce had a little kick to it and wasn't thick, but it was tasty. I first got the chicken soup dumplings. Man, they were good. They're larger than the ones I've had at Din Tai Fung and The Dough Zone, but they sure are delicious. And since I prefer not to drive into the city and spend over an hour on the road to get downtown, to go find some other dumpling/dim sum place; I'm happy there's a great place in the suburbs near me. They rival the other two mentioned previously. Their sauces are great, the dumplings are great. The sanji was delicious. Heck, that's in their darn name. All of it was good. And this is my go to place in the suburbs now. The place is a cute. As you enter the vestibule, there's a dumpling with a body welcoming you in. The place is just all black and red and you wait to be seated. There is a container with chopsticks on each table, but the napkin is wrapped around a fork (most places you have to ask for a fork, so this is a nice change). I could use a knife for the sanji as they are quite big, but it's not a problem eating them without. Our server was very nice and helpful. There's really no place in the north to northwest suburbs that serves this type of food and you'd be foolish to skip it. I'll see you there soon. I'll be the one making the yummy sounds.
