    Burger packaging
    Jade M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken?

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

    Beef loaded fries
    LaTanya G.

    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!

    This place was sooo busy when my friends and I went. Lots of carryout and dining in....on a Tuesday night! We tried their special drinks: horchata and red velvet! Added tapioca of course! I really liked the horchata! The food smelled good. If I'm in town again, I am for sure trying out their food! Menu was confusing to some. One part looked like a list that was blended only but the whole menu you can choose over ice or blended. Also, learned their have dairy free options! Make sure to ask what they are out of because I wanted to different things but they were out so I tried the Horchata one! Cute logo too! Plenty of parking! Bathroom available.

    Tiger Sugar and Taro Bubble Tea over ice
    Maria K.

    Great place for dinner! We got the Big Bird chicken sandwiches and bubble tea. The burger was very flavorful and tasty. I probably have lower than average South Asian/Desi heat tolerance, the medium spice level was a little too much for me (but is probably fine for the average Desi). I still really enjoyed the burger overall. The seasoned fries were a great side to have too. We had "over ice" Bubble Tea. Their default bubble tea is like a smoothie blended variety (which isn't what I expect at most bubble tea places). The boba was soft and nice. We really liked the Taro. Tiger Sugar was a little different compared to other Brown Sugar teas I've had since it was Thai Tea based, but still good and the sweetness helped calm down the spice from the sandwich . If you're not generally a bubble tea person, they have a LOT of flavors to choose from, including some that would probably taste like your general Oreo smoothie or Mocha Frappe. Overall fantastic place. Really like the modern decor too and service was very kind.

    Ask the Community - CHI TEA - Hot Chicken, Burgers, & Wings

    What is in your big bird sauce?

    Why isn't there a phone number or DoorDash available?

    What's the phone number?

    Google is showing a user suggested phone number as (708) 297-5165. Unfortunately when I call it just goes to voicemail. I think since their new and very busy they probably haven't set up a business number yet.

    What are their hours?

    Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 12-8 Friday Saturday 3-10 Sunday 3-9… 

    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.

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.
