Unfortunately i wasn't too satisfied with my drink. I got the iced ube chai and the cup was literally filled 3/4 with ice which meant the ube foam just coated the ice and barely mixed and gave any flavor. The chai tasted heavily of chai concentrate. Overall disappointing for a $7-8 drink.

Come for Five Spice Kitchen, don't stay or come for Cloud Tea. It's not good…read more I ordered the Classic Milk Tea with tapioca. Firstly, the tapioca is definitely not fresh. This is the consistency of the tapioca is that of reheated old tapioca. I have worked at a bubble tea shop where they reheated tapioca and this is the same consistency. The tea itself is so watered down. The milk tea is almost translucent because that's how little content there is in it. I get there aren't many bubble tea places in this immediate vicinity. I'd recommend trying a fruit tea if you're really in a pinch.

Normally I am not a fan of mango flavor but the boba was fine since it was mixed in! The service was fast and the place was inside a small restaurant called Five Spice Kitchen. I definitely want to come back because the food smelled very good (ramen, rice, etc). Glad I discovered this place!

They have a small set of games that can be used for social time with friends and the setup with distinctly different areas allows for patrons to enjoy different vibes depending on where they sit. As for the drinks, I love the use of actual fresh fruit in the smoothies, which is distinct for anyone who has been disappointed by powders and syrups elsewhere. The other drinks are also made with high quality ingredients and allow for sugar and ice levels to be changed as needed. The prices are very good for the Chicago suburbs and the sizes are generous (especially the Extra Large!). In addition to smoothies, they also carry a selection of teas, cheese tops, fruit teas, tea lattes, flavored yakult, milkshakes, and more. This is one of the spots that you can find authentic Asian flavor combinations that you only expect to see in Chinatown, Schaumburg, or Naperville. Overall, one of my favorite bubble tea spots in the area and definitely worth a visit if you're nearby.

My husband asked me where I wanted to eat for my 43rd birthday and I was craving Vietnamese but…read morewanted to find a new place. I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect. Our hearts left super happy.

There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.

We ordered and tried the following: 1) Shrimp egg rolls 2) Tofu banh bao 3) Small pho, beef broth, brisket, beef meatballs - We specifically order the pho for my girls and they both finished it without a single drop of broth left. 4) Small pho, vegan broth, tofu and mushrooms - Most Vietnamese restaurants do not have a vegan broth option. My mom is a vegetarian so this was definitely a surprise and ideal option! 5) Bun Dau Mam Tom - This can be a mess to wrap the fried tofu, steamed pork, rice noodles, and shrimp paste in lettuce. Everything went well together and the shrimp paste has a slight kick to it. 6) Soft shell crab fried rice - The soft shell crab is crunchy and came with a generous portion of fried rice. We had plenty of fried rice left. 7) Vietnamese iced coffee - My parents generally prefer the Vietnamese coffee hot however Pholicious only serves them cold. 8) Egg coffee - Rich and creamy! We did not try the banh mi but we did buy a bag of freshly baked baguettes to go. Each bag comes with three baguettes. If you buy one bag, it is $3. However, if you buy two bags, it is cheaper at $5. The baguettes held up really well for our home-made sandwiches.

If you're looking for fresh Tanghulu, great drinks, and excellent service, Bobar is definitely worth visiting. We'll absolutely be coming back!

We ordered from the touch screen and none of the drinks could be customized for sweetness and the coffee could not have boba added so I had to physically give extra cash to the employee after I finished my transaction on the touchpad.

Nothing like the picture lol Feel bad for the one employee who could barely keep up working the register and making all the drinks.
