    Grilled Pig Blood Rice Cake
    Klaudia T.

    The grilled pig blood rice cake was delicious! It is rare to find this street snack so I had to get it. I got the spicy since sometimes spicy is not actually spicy but this one really was. Overall super good. I also got the panda milk tea and liked how I could really taste the tea flavor instead of just milk.

    Braised Pork Rice Bento 滷肉飯便當 and Popcorn Chicken 鹹酥雞
    Julia W.

    Overall, had a good experience. Service was fast and staff was very friendly. We ordered the braised pork bento and the popcorn chicken. The braised pork was your typical Lu rou fan, and came with a lot of food. The popcorn chicken was crispy and tender, but lacked that classic popcorn chicken flavor. It did come with a LOT of chicken though.

    I was excited to try this spot because as someone who's Taiwanese, I love Taiwanese food (especially Taiwanese street food) unfortunately the food, milk and service fell short for me we ordered: -- cuttlefish: this was my favorite of the 3 food items but the seasoning wasn't evenly coated on the pieces -- mini sausage: the texture was nice but the flavor was lacking. also found a piece of hair one of the pieces so I couldn't eat that piece -- tofu: it was okay in flavor even when I added sweet and sour sauce, and the texture lacked the crispy outside + soft inside that I was looking for the oolong milk tea didn't have the right milk to tea ratio -- it was too milky and didn't have a strong enough tea flavor in addition, the service was incredibly slow -- it took at least 20-25 minutes for the milk tea to be ready despite only 2 people being ahead of me. I had to ask about my drink because I thought they forgot about it and the worker seemed to bit annoyed about it with Chinatown having so many good Asian restaurants, I unfortunately don't see myself coming back here again

    Wanted to check this place out last time I was in Chi-Town and now I have time to - pretty nice and kawaii Taiwanese cafe / chain (?) named Hello Jasmine. In addition to bubble milk teas (and Ryze mushroom coffee) they serve authentic Taiwanese fare like beef / pork chop noodles, Taiwanese sausage, popcorn chicken, chicken steak, pork rice, pork/pig blood rice cakes, fried sweet corn, fried green beans, fried cuttlefish fish ballz and more. Wa wa wee wah very nice. Excellent and prompt service too. Very cool, cozy and stylish interior (with cloud decorations as well). Highly recommended!

    So this weekend while I was in the Chinatown area, I decided not to go with my norm and tried a different tea place. I ordered the Peach Tea Lemonade with Lychee and added tapioca. It was the perfect level of sweetness. Not to sweet not to bland. It was like heaven in a cup. The restaurant itself sells Asian food and a variety of teas. The vibe was pretty cozy and chill. You can either dine in or take it to go. It was also very clean. They were kind of busy so it was a little slow to get just a beverage, but then again it was a Friday evening. All in all I will defintelty patron here again.

    Popcorn Chicken Rice Bento
    Generous Y.

    3.5 rounded up because of mixed feelings. Authentic food with proper package presentation. Bento was fantastic but the boba fell short. I would definitely come back for more bento boxes but likely skip the boba (possibly order drinks with other toppings or none at all). Popcorn Chicken Rice Bento - fantastic bento, very nostalgic! Pickled vegetables, bok choy, a tea egg, tofu, and a piece of sausage make up the side contents. Each of these have a unique flair whether that's taste or texture. Rice and popcorn chicken is pretty standard, but juicy and tender. Much like the fast food bentos one might get in Taiwan, this was very comforting. Boba Milk Tea - boba was old and slightly overcooked, so it was firm but didn't split in half immediately. Classic black tea base but nothing special. Tea wasn't super potent but it was present alongside the milk. Overall would skip boba as a topping but inclined to try other drinks as classic milk teas are pretty consistent and hard to mess up.

    I ordered delivery from Hello Jasmine and was so happy that I did. The pork chop rice bento box combo was phenomenal and the mango boba milk was so good. Highly recommend!

    Mango with grass jelly

    I have to say. It's been awhile since I had a cute theme like takeout. Off the bat their fishballs is top tier! I only say it cause in NYC we recently lost "Shung Kee Food" it was probably one of the best if you want to make your own at home. All the loose ones out there now a days just taste like imitation or just filled with flour and starch. These on the other hand had it packed with flavor and bounce! Definitely a recommend! The popcorn chicken was a plus! Again. Flavor was there. Crispy, bouncy, goes well with anything tbh. The Taiwan mini sausage skewers were good too. AS cute as the rice box was it felt almost close to food on a plane kind of quality. It wasn't bad but I see what they're trying to do. I'd probably stick to the apps more next time then with the mains. Only downside was they only gave you the option to have bubble tea only. Wish they had more options to choose with the similar or same price range. As for the Mango/Grass jelly. I was pleasantly surprise ! i usually like it with milk tea or coffee but i have to say this was an eye opener! Definitely recommend!

    Hello Jasmine is one of those places that has both food AND boba. They offered some options for Taiwanese street food, as well as some actual rice dishes. Love a place with variety that can do it all! There's a bunch of seating and a bathroom which we happily used one by one after grabbing the ginormous key they offer at the counter for customers. Drink wise, I was a big fan of my Pinky Guava Grapefruit. It was such a summery drink, and the guava and grapefruit paired so well together, and it was, in fact, pink. There was a sourness to it that made the drink seem fresher, but it also wasn't too sour. Plus the fruit pieces added texture, and those fruit pieces were there across the board for all of the drinks my family had. Not only did I love my Pinky Drinky- I also am obsessed with the garlic popcorn chicken we got. I opened her up and was like "oh I didn't know this chicken came with rice." I looked a little closer. What I thought was rice was GARLIC. This chicken was sitting in a literal pool of garlic. We got essence of garlic AND actual chopped garlic all over these chicken pieces. It was the best thing I've ever seen, and it tasted so good. Hello Jasmine does everything and does it WELL, and I just wish they had one in NYC!

    FLAVOR (4/5): Chicago doesn't have good boba and this is the best spot we found on our trip. The drinks are on the sweeter side but super refreshing. The grass jelly was pretty good quality too. We had their garlic popcorn chicken and it's not for the weak hearted! It has enough garlic to scare vampires away. The batter was nice and crispy. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): The logo and design of the place is pretty cute! The store itself isn't too big but had a lot of elements that made you feel like you want to sit and hangout for a bit. SERVICE (4/5): I appreciated that we selected a dine in option here and they actually brought us our food and drinks. TAKEAWAYS: The best boba we had in Chicago on our trip.

    Six stars! On a trip to Chicago, I was craving some Asian food so I went to Chinatown. This place showed up on my Yelp search so I decided to give them a try. They are a smallish store but it was super busy on a Friday afternoon. We ordered at the kiosk and got the braised pork rice bento and the drink/fried chicken combo. Food came out fast. It was so good!! One of the best Taiwanese food I have ever had in the states (and I'm from Los Angeles). The flavor was amazing and tasted so comforting. The fried chicken was crispy and tender. The green tea was the perfect sweetness. The bento box was amazingggg. I highly recommend them! I think one of the best meals I had in Chicago. Bathrooms were also clean.

    We stopped in here after visiting the gachapon arcade upstairs and immediately noticed how clean…read moreeverything was. The whole shop is really cute, too. They have plushies sitting on the couch in the waiting area and a little floral Instagram wall that's clearly meant for photos. We also very much appreciated that they have a bathroom, which isn't always guaranteed in Chinatown spots. I got the large Fruity Party drink and loved it. It had slices of citrus floating in it plus a rainbow of fruit jellies at the bottom. It was both super refreshing and really pretty. I'd absolutely order it again. My sister got the medium kumquat lemon seasons tea. It was super strong and concentrated, which is just the way I like my tea. I learned that I liked kumquat kumquat so that's a fun bonus. We'll definitely be back next time we are in Chinatown.

    This was a cute little boda shop to stop by! They have ordering kiosks that you can use to place…read moreyour order or you can order at the counter. They have a good amount of options but not too many that it's overwhelming. I got the mango green tea with fruit jelly at 25% sweetness and regular ice. As someone who doesn't love overly sweet drinks this was pretty solid, any sweeter and it would have been too much. The drink came out super quickly and there is a ton of space to sit inside if you choose!
