I waited 25 minutes for three bubble teas. They forgot one of mine and continued to serve other people and didnt even apologize when I asked for mine. I just ended up leaving without my drink (my kids got theirs and it was warm, even though ordered cold). This place is disorganized and a mess. I will never go again. read more

I was excited to try the chicken at Hello Jasmine as it was recommended as some of the best chicken in Chicago. It is definitely tasty, and I ordered it to go. The chicken eaten fresh may have tasted better and crunchier, but it was still very well seasoned and quite delicious overall. I also ordered the popcorn chicken, both the orange and original flavors. The orange was exceptionally good with a little kick to the sauce. Be sure to grab a few sauces with your order as each one was delicious. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

We were sooo excited to try this spot - lots of authentic looking items on the menu and cute paper packaging which is also authentic to Taiwan. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed with our food...it wasn't terrible but it looked a lot better than it tasted. First, we had the popcorn chicken bento combo - the rice was so mushy and the popcorn chicken was moist...it should be crispy on the outside! We ate it immediately inside the restaurant, so if it was originally crispy then they must have let it sit covered for awhile before giving it to us. Flavor wise it was decent, just the wrong texture. Next, we had the grilled tofu with Taiwanese kimchi - I imagine this is the alternate to stinky tofu which they don't offer. Kimchi was on point but the tofu was also very moist on the outside and again, it should be dry and crispy in the outside... The cold noodles are vegetarian btw and the sauce is authentic and tasted good. Wished noodles were a bit thicker but that's just a personal preference. Decent amount of seating inside and options to order at the cashier or on tablets. Food took a bit to come out but it was a Saturday lunch. read more

Highly recommend Hello Jasmine to cater your wedding or next event!! We first heard about HJ from friends and came to visit with them. My husband and I ended up booking HJ to cater our boba bar. It was a big hit at our wedding reception. Many of our Asian friends and family members were over the moon when they discovered HJ supplied our boba bar. I really appreciated the ability to buy bubble tea in bulk, and they even come in large, ready-serve containers you can pour the bubble tea out of into your cup. They also provided boba straws, cups, spoons (for serving boba toppings) and smaller containers for our boba toppings. HJ was extremely easy to work with - we mainly communicated over email, and they were able to let us know which items were gluten free or vegan for our guests with dietary restrictions so they can choose which items or bubble teas they were comfortable consuming. Our wedding venue was within their delivery radius so we were able to get our order delivered right to us. Their catering menu also includes party trays of popcorn chicken and cold noodles that looked tasty. Definitely considering these options if we plan another large event again and need catering. HJ was one of our favorite vendors to work with. Aside from catering, we often stop by HJ when we're visiting Chinatown. Service is usually quick and friendly. You can order from a screen near the front door once you enter. There is seating available if you want to dine in. HJ's branding is on point. I love all the packaging and even the wall mural depicting iconic features of Taiwan, such as Taipei 101. The food is served similar to street food you might find in Taiwan - fried cuttlefish balls on a stick, sausage on a stick, plastic bento box packaging, and popcorn chicken in a bag with long wooden picks. My Taiwanese parents always think of home when they stop by HJ. The food is authentic and delicious. My favorite things to order here are the popcorn chicken, peach fruit tea, and braised pork rice bento. Love HJ. Will definitely be back! read more

This is an authentic Taiwanese restaurant in Chinatown, conveniently close to the Chinatown public library and the Red Line subway station. They have a small space so it can get packed quickly. My boyfriend and I did the combo for 2 people. We got bento boxes, 2 drinks and 2 sides. Everything tasted good for me and reminded me of my hometown Taiwan! My boyfriend liked everything except for the pig blood rice cake (one of the sides) which he tried for the first time. He did like the other side, fish balls that he ordered. I think both chicken entries could be more flavorful. I had popcorn chicken at another Taiwanese restaurant called Taipei Cafe and I like their popcorn chicken better. Theirs was more flavorful, and closer to authentic Taiwanese street food popcorn chicken. I'd come to this nice place again, however I wouldn't want to do the combo again. The fruit cloud drinks that were included in our combo were ok. I don't feel like getting those again. Their other drinks looked more interesting so I'd like to try some of those next time. Also want to try other meal options. When we were there, the cashier seemed to be on their first day of training and wasn't ready to take orders. I had to repeat our entire order (a total of 6 items) to the other employee who came to help. Next time I'd only order 1 item at a time until I'm prompted to order the next item, so I won't have to repeat everything again. read more

I love love love Hello Jasmine! In my last 4 visits to Chicago, Hello Jasmine has stood as my favorite boba and cheap Asian grub spot consecutively across those visits. Food & Drinks: - I am such a sucker for their classic milk teas. I have tried the black assam milk tea, jasmine green milk tea, oolong milk tea, and I have been so thoroughly impressed by how great the tea flavor is across all three of them. It is just the right amount of creaminess that you would want in a milk tea, you can taste the brew of the tea leaves, and I love getting my drinks at half ice and 75% sugar. Tapioca consistency is just right, now too chewy, not too soft, and it is just sweet enough to enhance your drinks. - My experimental drink was their Black Sesame Milk Tea and it also blew me away. I would only recommend this if you are more of a savory type of person. This drink is on the thicker side with a lot of texture from the mix of sesame paste but overall - it is surprisingly a great dessert drink. - My bf got the Ube Milk Tea and he said it was the best that he has ever had. The ube flavor is so strong and for a lack of better words, it tasted like "real ube," which he loved. - We also got their Braised Pork over Rice bento box with fried tofu as an app. SUCH AN INSANE VALUE!! Super great portions, a great marinade on the pork belly, it crumbles and melts in your mouth. My only feedback would be that the pieces do contain a lot of fat but it adds to the overall flavor. Everything was very yum! Service: - I love that there is an option to order at the kiosk or order directly with them. If you need time to think, the kiosk offers a bit of a buffer time for you to look through the menu. - The staff is super nice and the wait isn't bad at all even on busy days. Ambiance: - I love how the theme of the restaurant is carried throughout the interior whether it is in wallpaper, packaging, or the general decor/vibe of the place. It offers a great spot to grab a quick grub with friends. read more

Great food quality, got the sliced pork combo - your choice of combo meal, boba drink, and extra sides for additional charge enough for 2 and our total was only $25.

Our vacation group stopped by Hello Jasmine for drinks and some food on the recommendation of a few friends and devoured everything we ordered. For apps we got the golden cheese popcorn chicken, which was a huge portion, very well-seasoned, and came doused in cheese sauce, and the grilled Taiwanese sausage, which had a nice outside char and savory-sweet. We also split two dinner bentos, the special chicken steak rice bento and the special braised pork rice bento. The chicken steak was pretty good, though it could've been a little more moist, but the braised pork was the real winner, super fatty and flavorful. I also really enjoyed the cabbage and pickled vegetables that came with the bentos, as well as the fried tofu. Haven't had this kind of food presented in this style since I was living in Shanghai, so the nostalgia factor was huge as well. I didn't have much of the drinks but I was told they were tasty too. The interior was clean and cute and food came out hot and fresh. Definitely recommend for people looking for a quick bite to eat in the area. read more

really great bubble tea - I got the red bean one and asked for it to be less sweet, and I felt like it was perfect. I also loved their popcorn chicken, but it was extremely filling due to all the coating, and I noticed it didn't reheat well the next day. overall though, I really enjoyed this spot and the staff was super friendly and patient. Wait times were long but they were pretty understaffed since they're quite a small location. I'll definitely be stopping here again to get some quick meals at some point. read more

If you're craving a great place to study and drink boba, this is the spot. The ambiance and seating is great to hang with friends. However, idk what the hype is behind the cheese caramel milk tea. It's average for the flavor. Ordered it with 80% sugar and didn't feel too excited over it. I'd come back to try the other stuff on the menu like the brown sugar that looked pretty good. Definitely would try the popcorn chicken when I come again since I love that shtuffff. Staff are friendly and the wait for boba wasn't too long. I would've gave a 5 stars if I was blown away by the boba, but everything about the place is poppin with an attractive store design. Also, free parking outside! We love that! read more

The very first time I heard about this place I was so excited because I have been missing Taiwan Streetfood. of course, the very first thing I tried was the chicken popcorn and corn,to fu was next on the list. I would come back over and over again no matter how far just for their chicken popcorn. This is my second time here and now I tried their bento.I ordered their sliced pork one. Just to bad the lady misheard me abt dine in d take out and packed everything,would've been nice to take a pictare of their food presentation. Anyway, The food was great. Bento orders comes with veggies, an egg and a little bit of street food. I got a piece of sausage and 2pcs of tofu. of course, also ordered popcorn chicken to go. So if ever you are in the area, this place is a must try!!! HAPPY EATING! read more

I like that they have combos where you can get a yummy meal with boba for a reasonable price. The portions of the food were generous and yummy and the boba was good too. I wish the standard boba size was a bit bigger and that the popcorn chicken meal came with a sauce because it was a bit dry to eat it with the rice. Nonetheless, the popcorn chicken was yummy. read more

After reading other reviews on this location, I was worried about how busy it was going to be. I visited at like 11:15AM (15 min after opening) in hopes it wouldn't be busy, but I was wrong. There was already 3-4 people waiting on orders with more customers walking in shortly after me. They have 2 kiosks you can order from for contact-less and faster ordering which is what I did. After ordering, I think I still waited about 15-20 min for my order. Roasted oolong milk tea: Oolong milk tea is always my go-to. Ordering 'roasted' def gives it a more nutty taste. I was a little underwhelmed by the flavor. Like it wasn't as vibrant as I was hoping? Maybe it wasn't as sweet as I wanted even though I ordered regular sweetness. Still good though. The boba's consistency was good to my standard. All toppings are extra. Popcorn chicken: Tried their infamous Taiwanese popcorn chicken w/ a side of sesame sauce. Sauce is an extra $1-$2 based on which sauce you pick. The sesame sauce is made with peanuts so it tasted very much like a nutty sauce. You get a big bowl of chicken for ~$8. Chicken is in bite sized pieces. Comes with sticks to pick and eat the chicken with. It was topped with what I think is roasted basil. I ate the whole thing to myself and it made me pretty full. Cons: I would say service and the cost were my only minor issues. I was in no rush when I visited so waiting didn't bother me, but I could understand if I was busy and having to wait long. I paid ~$20 for both the popcorn chicken and my boba which I think is alot. read more

This isn't our number one bubble tea place but there are several items that we enjoy: 1) Popcorn chicken 2) Fried chicken steak 3) Taiwanese cold noodle 4) Fried chicken Without a doubt, the chicken and fried food appeal to us. The great thing is that they allow you to choose the spice level: non spicy, less spicy, spicy, and extra spicy. Some menus don't necessarily indicate the spice level and it can become a guessing game. Being given the choice upfront is convenient and considerate. They share a parking lot with the other restaurants on the block. It's an oddly shaped parking lot with limited space and can get full pretty quickly. I usually opt for pickup so I would just double park right in front of the restaurant. read more

At most bubble tea shop, you can only find taro milk tea(made with powder) or taro milk (does not contain tea). It's not easy to find one that sells jasmine milk tea with real taro paste. It's the perfect combination! I happen to chance upon Hello jasmine, a cafe style shop that sells food, snacks and bubble tea. Obviously, I had to try their taro milk tea (smooth taro paste with jasmine green milk tea). They are generous with the taro paste as I think about half the cup is filled with taro. There's no taro bits in it and it's a little too sweet, making the taro taste a little fake, not much taro taste. (I had better taro before). However, I love their jasmine green milk tea. They brewed it nicely as the jasmine taste is not overpowering and sweet, which will make you feel like you are tasting air freshener. I would not recommend you to mix/shake the drink as the taro taste will cover the taste of jasmine. This is a cute small shop located near Chinatown that is worth checking out. The parking can be difficult since there's limited spot but it's walkable distance from the Chinatown parking lot. They sell a huge varieties of Taiwan snacks, food and bubble tea! I'm sure you can find something you like there~ read more

I had high expectations since I love the food at the Lincoln Park location and this is the original location. I ordered the minced pork belly bento and pork rib bento. Dislikes - the food tasted much blander. There was blanched cabbage which had no taste. LP would give bok choy. - there was no meat sauce on my rice. - the food came in a plastic container vs the paper bento in LP. - usually it comes with mini Chinese sausage but this location gave mini American sausage - service was meh. The girl at the register didn't understand English very well. I even tried talking in Chinese and she still seemed confused. She didn't give me my receipt and when I checked on my order she didn't recognize me and didn't believe that I had two orders. I had to direct her the receipts still attached to the machine. She didn't ask me if I wanted chopsticks or fork and gave me forks but you can pick on the self order machine per my friend. I'm never coming back here and was a bit embarrassed that I had asked my friend to meet me here for lunch. read more

Really cool atmosphere. Despite them being really busy my order came out quick. Everything was so tasty and the presentation is immaculate! All for about 16-17 dollars after tax, totally worth it! Only be careful about coming close to close! They close the kitchen before the stated closing time (I think 8 or 8:30) so if you want anything other than milk tea after that you're SOL. They turned a guy away on my way out because it was too late. read more

This is a good spot in Chicago's chinatown for Taiwanese fare. However, the menu is quite limited in my opinion. I like the braised pork over rice bento and the popcorn chicken appetizer. The portions are good. The bento comes with steamed veggies, a marinated hard-boiled egg, and pickled veggies as sides. A complaint is that some of the pork cuts are super fatty. I can handle my spice, but I suggest getting no spice on your food. I think it tastes better because the spice they add isn't a very flavorful spice. It just adds heat, but not much depth. The ambiance is fine. There's a cool wall mural inside. Wait times can get really long when it's busy, though. I suggest avoiding the weekends if you want to avoid a crowd. read more

Taiwanese people are some of the most polite people I've met, and Hello Jasmine reflects that mentality with great aesthetic, attention to detail, great packaging, and excellent food. You'll find a lot to experience when you're here. First of all, even though parking is pretty packed in the side lot, you are in walking distance to some major attractions like Tom Ping Park and Chinatown. First of all I ordered the braised pork over rice bento combo with Tempura balls and a green tea boba. Now getting a bento box is pretty standard- you get rice with your meat, pickled cabbage, a Chinese mini sausage, bok choi, etc. All were pretty good for what you pay for. It's average price wise compared to other spots but it has to be mentioned- I love the packaging and the presentation of the condiments like napkins, which comes with a heartwarming note with the napkin (great presentation). The cutouts in the box match your food size very well, so no food haphazardly thrown in. I did get one of the combo sides in a bag, but that's more appropriate since it's basically skewered street food typical for its purpose. The minor attention to detail in how it's served really gave me a smile when I got the food. The Boba tea was pretty standard, but I liked the tea in this one despite its simplicity compared to other boba places I've tried. Overall, it's in there near some interesting landmarks and definitely has a good aesthetic going for it. The food holds up pretty well too. read more

This was the first Taiwanese restaurant that I visited when I moved to Chicago, and I'm still a regular. It has proved time and time again to serve delicious, consistent food and great drinks. My favorite dish is the braised pork rice bento. The pork belly is braised in a sweet soy and star anise-spiced sauce until it is succulent and tender. It pairs beautifully with the pickled mustard greens and the tea marinated egg. Make sure it's the braised pork and not the braised sliced pork rice bento, because that one I have tried and found it to be a bit tough. I don't think it was braised long enough, because the flavor was not really there. Their popcorn chicken is also fantastic. They're basically breaded and deep fried morsels of chicken, seasoned with five spice powder and mixed with holy basil. The combination of the basil and five spice is absolutely habit-forming. Drink-wise, you will find yourself faced with a lot of choices. Don't worry, it'll be okay. The brown sugar boba latte is sublime. Any of the fruit teas will be good-- I personally love the peach green tea. The strawberry and mango milk clouds are delicious, but they are sweet--if you don't like sweet drinks, you might go into a diabetic coma. I have found the boba shakes to be a bit bland (perhaps too much ice), so I would recommend avoiding those. One thing I will say is that because this restaurant is so popular--you'll often see it's the most crowded place in the strip mall--the service is a bit slow. Order online or over the phone if you don't want to wait. Try to come at odd hours to avoid the crowds. read more

Come here for your popcorn chicken fix!! As a CA native, this is the spot I go when I crave that boba shop taiwanese popcorn chicken. The "HJ (Hello Jasmine) Combo" comes with a tea, street food, and bento set. The tea quality is good. The bento comes with rice, protein, sweet pickled cabbage/vegetables, a tea egg, tofu, bok choy, and some slices of taiwanese sausage. I like the sliced pork bento, which is basically slices of pork belly. The braised pork looks like it's also pork belly, but minced into smaller pieces. A combo for one is about $15 but it's worth it because you get a whole meal and it's super tasty. The popcorn chicken isn't one of the street food options but is available as an add-on for $8 if you order a combo. If you order online, you can also select a promotional coupon for free fried chicken drumstick for orders over $30. They'll text you when your order's ready. There's a parking lot for customers off of Clark St. If the lot is full you can try the Chinatown North Parking lot or try to find street parking on Wentworth Ave. read more

My partner and I arrived here on a Tuesday afternoon and you can order at the counter or via kiosk. We ordered at the counter and it went well, the shop was quiet with lots of room for sitting. We ordered the taro pudding and cheese caramel milk tea. I forgot to add boba to the drink, but we got it at 80% sweetness which was perfect. The drink was delicious, it had gritty cheese bits in it and you could taste the genuine tea in it. The taro pudding was rich and creamy. I'm not a fan of crystal boba, but my partner liked it at least. Overall, I would come here again for sure! read more

Hello Jasmine - Milk Tea and High Mountain Milk Tea with Taro Paste and Herbal Jelly - Taiwanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I haven't gotten anything in person or via delivery from Hello Jasmine for over a year and I decided to order takeout via Yelp for dinner recently at this particular location. I must remind myself to never come again during regular dining hours. I came to pickup my order about an hour after placing my order, around 6pm, and encountered a not so smooth pickup experience. First of all, the parking situation is absolutely horrendous. It's a tiny lot servicing multiple businesses, with one entrance and exit, and cars can neither get in nor get out. The restaurant isn't big inside but has a good number of seats and has the clean, newly renovated look. They had A LOT of takeout/delivery orders waiting to be picked up. The front desk area had multiple staff members hustling and it seemed rather chaotic. Multiple guests, including myself, were waiting for their food for a long time. One party in front of me left without ordering because of the long wait. There isn't much space to wait either. Everyone is crowded in front of a small area in front of the cash register. Since I spent ample time waiting around for my order, I noticed that the prices listed on their restaurant menu for bento boxes are $2 less than what I paid for online. I'm not sure if this is true across the board for their other items as well but I'm haven't encountered this type of pricing discrepancy before. I ordered 2 braised pork bento boxes and a fried chicken bento box. Plus an oolong tea bubble tea. I eventually got my food. Their to go packaging is really nice and compact. There was no food spillage with transport and the box was easy to eat out of directly. The food was a bit salty but overall still good. The bubble tea, on the other other hand, was a sore disappointment compared to what I remember it to be- mine tasted very watered down and I would barely sense any tea flavor, just sweetness. read more

Highly recommend Bento with pleasant and reasonable price, clean layout, and fresh food. I tried most of the bento and personally recommended "Special Chicken Drumstick Rice Bento". By the way, I love their art drawings on the bento box and to-go bag, so cute! Grilled Pig Blood Rice Cake and Taiwanese sausage are must try (my personal favorite)! Chicken Steak is large, thick, and crispy with nice seasoning and will never let you down. Popcorn Chicken is always their must to go. Cold noodle is great, especially during the summer time. However, I am not a peanut lover for their sauce but it is still worth to try out. read more

So. Frickin. Good. The street food and bentos REALLY hit the spot. Pair with a milk tea or tea and enjoy! Also they have great deals online and in the store. If you're ordering takeout, order directly on their website! Don't use a third party app because you won't see the deals and the prices are probably higher. The last two times I ordered from here, I got a free (large) fried chicken drumstick! Highly recommend the popcorn chicken. A little on the pricey side compared to what I'm used to: Southern California prices, where popcorn chicken is available everywhere. So since I don't know where else to get popcorn chicken around Chicago and it's actually very good here, I can deal with the price. Seasoning and crisp is on point. I wish there was more basil though. The pork belly bento was very good! Love the variety in the bento and the crisp fermented cabbage really balanced the flavorful pork. Very filling. Will definitely come back! read more

First time trying their boba and we were surprised at how good it was! My husband and I got the same - the brown sugar boba milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice. It was perfect, and the tapioca was just how I like it (minimal chewing needed because it's sliiiightly overcooked). We ordered for pick-up through their website using a code I got via a Yelp Elite event. Was confused whether we had to select boba as a topping even though it already said the word boba in the drink name. Found out that you do not need to select the boba option - it'll come with it...unless you want extra boba. :). Our milk teas were ready in about 20 minutes after we placed the order. Was crowded inside when we picked it up so glad we ordered ahead of time! I can't wait to come back to try additional drinks!! read more

The inside was cute and small. They seem very busy doing multiple drinks. When I got in where I didnt now that there was a machine to order without waiting for the cashier. That was cool. Drinks: First drink I got was the strawberry milk cloud, that was good , however it was super sweet even after mixing the strawberry syrup. I wasnt really fond of it. I wish it was less sweet. Second drink: the mango fruit tea was good. It taste like mango and my niece love it. Third drink was the peach mango smoothie, now that one was good. I would recommend this one for a hot day. The mango didnt overpowered the peach nor did the peach. It was a good drink in between. Fourth drink: my friend got the taro drink and it wasnt as good as we thought it would be. It has an after taste of powdered. Overall the drink wasnt that good. Last but not least the creamy orange smoothie; that was was just plain. Nothing. It taste like water and ice. I would not recommend this one. It was tasteless. Did not enjoy it. This one made me give this place a four, however in the future I would try the drinks again (and ndxt time im trying the food out). read more
