    Extremely Disappointed - Never Again! We've ordered from Chi Tea several times in the past and the food was always excellent. That's why we decided to order again tonight after a long break. Unfortunately, this will be our last time. * The chicken was clearly double-fried and dry. * The mac and cheese was completely flavorless. * The burger was soaked in sauce to the point of being soggy and unappetizing. What a waste of money. I don't know what changed, but the quality has completely fallen off. I hope this review helps others avoid the same disappointment.

    Heard a lot of great things about this place and decided to give it a try- because why not!? The food is very good. I had a burger and a strawberry boba tea smoothie. Both were great. The burger almost reminded me of a Culver's burger (not as buttery though). I found the boba smoothie to be filling. I also think the cups are adorable. This place was super crowded (which speaks for itself). The cashier was a young teen. When he took my order he asked "what's up", while taking my order he was texting lol. I have never seen anyone text while taking my order. I don't care too much though, but that is a reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I definitely would still recommend this place though. The food definitely makes up for any deficiencies in customer service.

    Yooooooo this place is fire! Instagram brought me here and I had to see what all the noise was about. Upon arriving, you know you are in the right place because it's packed inside and folks on the outside are still trying to press their way through. My friend and I decided to order a lot. We did both sliders: the big bird slider and chi tea classic. we ordered two large bobas with tapioca. One was brown sugar and the other was purple haze. If you are wondering what purple haze tastes like, it's similar to brown sugar in my opinion. I didn't notice any special taste. We chose to order an order of the angry bird fries and the loaded chicken fries. I enjoyed the food options chosen; however, I felt the chicken was dry. Large portion and super crispy, but it didn't really hold flavor. Unless you have the sauce they give you, it doesn't do well by itself. The burgers were tasty but I wanted more meat on the patty to match the levels of the veggies on the burger. I wouldn't be opposed to returning and dining in on a random weekday.

    Chicken sandwich and fries

    Best halal/zabiha fried chicken sandwich in Lombard. Also has boba and banana pudding but honestly I've never tried it. Have come multiple times for the sandwich.

    My brother sent me a text mentioning this place. I decide to come and check this place out. I can't believe how I had drove passed this place for years. Without noticing this place existed. I ordered the Mango Lemonade and loaded fries with chicken. Upon entering there was a young man behind the counter texting on his phone. Never looked up to greet anyone or take orders. I had to kindly say excuse me what flavor lemonades do you have? LOL. That got his attention quickly and he was full alert and ready to take my order. The Ambience is ok. Nothing too special. Service was meh. Now the food was good and full of flavors. The prices are very reasonable and nor over the top. This must be the place to come because it was non stop traffic coming thru the door. I guess social media really helps promote businesses. I'm coming back to check out the burgers and chicken sandwiches. There are alot of flavors of drinks on the menu to choose.

    Flavorful, filling and reasonably priced! Chi Tea has it all, it's a must check out and check out again spot. This is a fairly small establishment, can probably seat (indoor) comfortably about 15-20 people at max. There are 2 options of ordering while there: kiosk or at the front counter. Staff was very friendly and the service was super fast. It was extremely packed when my fiancé and I arrived there and we were expecting a good 30-45 mins to receive our food... goodness we were very wrong! After placing our order our food and drinks arrived within 7-10 mins. We basically tried the entire menu and our favorites were the Big Bird chicken sandwich with mild sauce, the loaded chicken fries and the chi tea classic burger. Chicken (and everything else) is coated and flavored very well and cooked to perfection.

    Chicken?

    Changed their chicken and now it's not worth the money at all. Bland and feels like a budget cut they made.

    Came after bowling with my wife and a friend. It was packed when we walked in but lucky after a little while, it cleared out. The ambiance in the restaurant is casual and relaxed. We ended up ordered the Chi Tea Classic burger, the Angry Birds nuggets, Tiger Sugar Thai Tea and Coconut Bubble Tea. Food was good. I got the spicy but it was a lot milder than i expected. The coconut bubble tea was really good and my wife enjoyed her tiger sugar thai tea. One complaint would be that there wasn't an option to have no ice. It was either over ice or blended. My coconut bubble tea was good but the bottom was very cold and slushy. Would have preferred it without or atleast with less ice option. Overall, a nice place for food and bubble tea with friends. Service was quick and the food was good.

    Beef loaded fries

    Saw this gem on Instagram and have been wanting to stop in. I haven't gotten a chance to dine in yet, but ordered delivery to my job. I got the loaded season fries and my coworker got the Angry Bird. When we received our order it was still nice and warm. Everything was flavorful and delicious! Can't wait for the opportunity to dine in :)

    Big bird slider
    Isra A.

    This spot is not only affordable but also delicious and despite being packed often, the food does come out quick. You can order online, at a kiosk inside or with a cashier and this helps move things along too. The bubble tea was actually pretty good and the sliders had big pieces of chicken with just the right amount of spice. The bubble tea helps balance out the spice so it's actually a surprisingly good pairing. I will say the chicken could be more crunchy but besides that it's great. They're open late too! Definitely recommend stopping by!

    Matcha boba
    Alina S.

    Loved chi tea! My matcha boba was bomb. It was so nice that no drink had dairy in them. The drink menu was a bit limited but still found something that I enjoyed. We also ordered the fries which were tasty! The service was fast and the place was packed. I hope to come back to try their burgers next!

    Do they have people eating inside at the moment? I don't mind waiting, but not if I'm waiting inside with people eating (and therefore unmasked).

    You wait in line outside and come in with only your party when it's your turn to order. They take your phone number and give you a receipt. You wait outside and they text you when your order is ready.

    TL,DR * slow service…read more* overpriced * one worker was running the place by themselves * good taste at least Long version: I went into this place with high hopes based on their reviews. My food took over 30 minutes to be made. The food was good but it was $12 for a tiny bowl that fell apart when I opened it, way over priced for the amount received. I had to use the lid as a second bowl. Management should just order larger bowls. $1 upcharge for substitution of almonds instead of coconut. The poor worker was there all by herself with a line to the door. If they're understaffed the manager/owner should be helping but there was no manager on duty, which is why I'm writing this. They know they are understaffed. It's not fair to the worker to deal with poor management.

When we first started coming here, the base was blended so smooth, the granola was always fresh and tasty, and the ratio to acai blend vs toppings was great! My husband and I grabbed 2 bowls last night and these 2 were the worst ones we've had. I probably won't be back for a while. The consistency of the açaí bowl wasn't smooth. A little grainy and potentially too much ice mixed it. It barely had flavor. The granola was almost stale. It tasted like it was sitting out for a very long time uncovered. The ratio of smoothie to topping ratio was also terrible. It was like they filled the sides with acai mix, filled the center up with granola, it was very unpleasant. This was the first time my husband and I actually threw our bowls out, it was that bad. I do hope they get to how they used to. With the increased prices, they need to maintain quality, and quality has been severely lacking. I try to support my local businesses because I know it's not easy being forced to raise prices given this economy, but if you cut on quality you won't retain my business. Truly hoping this place changes!

I ordered a Goji Goji bowl, remove the blueberries, add extra goji berries, extra bananas and extra granola. When we arrived at the window, the young lady told us the amount and as I was grabbing my card she closed the window. It's cold outside, I understand, but unfortunately this adds to my negative experience. Then, the manager, an older lady, handed over my açaí bowl and closed the window. When I looked at the bowl, I only saw 4 slices of banana and a handful of the Gogi berries. I reached out to the window to inquire. When I stated, "Hi, I asked for extra Gogi berries" the manager states, "You have extra gogi berries ma'am, they are in the middle." I then said "I also asked for extra bananas." The manager then states, "those are extra bananas ma'am. You're looking right at them" I inquired again, "6 slices is extra?" The managers tone has now changed to one of annoyance and sarcasm when she says, "Would you like extra bananas ma'am?" I said "yes." When she arrives back to the window with my order, she proceeds to tell me that I substituted the blueberries for bananas. I let her know that I didn't ask for a substitution at all. The sarcasm, rashness and loose audacity leaves me appalled at the age of the woman and lack of grace she had in handling the situation. Instead of taking responsibility or using emotional intelligence, she felt the need to correct me with an attitude. This is not the reputation of the Smoothie King I know.

CONS: - The girl taking my order looked s o . b o r e d . - The Superbiotic Green Wrap I ordered kind of sucked. It was swimming (ugh) in cucumber dill dressing and the collard greens were soggy/chewy -- not crunchy and easy to eat. I ended up dumping the contents of the wrap out in a bowl and spooning it out instead. It was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. - My Lifesupport juice gave me the healthy boost I needed, but the banana taste was much stronger than I expected. I desperately wanted to love this place, especially after my friend raved about it and took me here, but I wasn't really impressed. She ordered the Pangoa bowl (without chicken) and it was good. I probably would have a better experience if I ordered something other than my wrap. I'm willing to come back to try the Bliss Bowl, but otherwise, no need to go out of my way to eat here.

We were hoping for faster food which is why were eating in a food court. I ordered the Bangkok burrito with tofu. The spicy peanut sauce had a little spice and no flavor. The rice was cheap tasting. It reminded me of uncle ben's except worse. I kept eating it hoping it would get better and it did not so I ended up tossing most of it. Considering how gross the food was and how slow they were I wanted to give them one star but I do like how they are a healthier option in the food court so I bumped it up to two. I will not be returning though.
