Suhyun K.

was at Woodfield mall and wanted to try this place out. for what it is, it wasn't bad but just a few call outs: - they also sell yakitori so the smell inside the store is very interesting. it smells like a mix of fruit and yakitori and doesn't fit the vibe of the store - the cashier wears gloves but the employees mixing through the white cream with a spoon doesn't wear a glove so questioning the level of sanitation here otherwise, not bad. has a lot of potential!

My husband and I went to Momo Cafe because we were thirsty from shopping. We got an Oreo shake without boba. We ordered at the kiosk and picked it up at the counter. The drink was good and had a rich flavor. Don't forget to take your picture with statue from the Spirited Away movie.

Woodfield mall is probably the busiest indoor mall, so it is very convenient to be able to grab a boba tea if you have a craving and are already inside the mall. Momo cafe has a good amount of offerings but no 'coffee' based bobas, but i happily ordered a Thai Tea. I like that they provide options for sugar levels and ice levels. I got the regular ice but i would recommend ordering with less ice to make it easier to get to your boba pearls. The store was relatively quiet during the weekday afternoon so the service was fast I'd recommend going if you are already in the mall, but not necessarily to go out of your way as it is pretty similar to other boba shops.

The place was really nice and clean it had a different smell in there , but the workers were nice the area had nice seating options and snacks the service was fast the drink had a really light taste to it

I was excited to try this place on account of the cute decor and my enthusiastic love of bubble tea. I ordered one of their sparkling drinks, which is similar to those Topo Chico soda waters with added fruit syrup. The beverage itself was basically fine (though it only comes in one size - HUGE), but what really put me off of this place is that they ONLY offer crystal boba (balls of sweetened agar jelly). No other toppings are available. To me, crystal boba lacks all of the depth and chew of the more typical tapioca. The crystal boba also stuck to each other to excess and had a hard time making it up the straw. So basically I had a huge cup of soda pop with occasional lychee pulp (since that's the fruit flavor I ordered). We are spoiled for choice around these parts, so I would say give this place a miss if your only goal is good bubble tea. If you happen to be at the mall anyway, it might be worth a stop in - I know you are going to want to check out their awesome No Face statue (from Spirited Away) at the very least. But I definitely wouldn't make a special trip here just for their bubble tea.

This place is adorable and makes delicious boba drinks. Once you walk in, there are so many adorable cat pictures/drawings that just add to the charm of the place. There is a touchscreen kiosk in the corner for you to take your time browsing your drinks and choosing your customizations. The drink came out very fast. I ordered the Mango Lover Smoothie that was a creamy mango smoothie with some mini mango chunks. It was delicious and tasted like fresh mangos rather than an artificial powder. Would love to come back and try their other flavors!

Glad to see a new sweet drink place in Woodfield Mall. When I went, they were out of Ube, so I didn't get to try the Lychee Ube as the original plan. I had the small strawberry milk tea. It comes with quite a bit of whipped cream on top. I'd like to come back to try some of their other signature flavors. The decor inside the store was very cute.

The atmosphere was nice and the walls were nicely decorated. There is seating but only high chairs, would've liked to have some lower seats and tables. The kiosk machine made ordering easy, but there was no receipt paper or it couldn't print any. The peach lemon green tea was refreshing with pieces of citrus- would come again!

Woodfield mall needed another boba shop other than Chill Bubble Tea! Momo Cafe had plenty of seating inside and outside of the storefront. Used to be where A&W was I believe. You can either order at the register or at a kiosk. They had plenty of snacks such as taiyaki ice cream, cake rolls, and sponge cake. Drink menu was mostly blended drinks and fruit teas. No milk teas. Tried the Ube Banana Specialty Drink with Crystal Pearls & 50% Sugar level. You can tell the banana was artificial banana powder, but the ube was good. The Crystal Pearls are not your regular tapioca/boba that you get at other boba shops though. Still good. The drink itself I would give 6/10, but I decided to give Momo Cafe an overall 5 stars because of the service was good, and pretty fast even though it was packed. The employees were doing great. And extra stars for the decorations. Probably would not come back for this boba as there are so many other shops in Schaumburg, but if I were in dire need for boba at the mall, then this is an option!

Very good atmosphere and drinks are also excellent. Not sure about snacks, but the tapioca pearls were on point, and we really enjoyed the whole experience of the place.

Cute anime themed smoothie cafe at Woodfield. You can order at the kiosk or by the register. I love the option to control the sugar content of my smoothie! I got the taro smoothie with 25% sugar and popping crystal pearls. It was good and refreshing.. Prices in line with most smoothie places.

If you saw No Face sitting on the train, would you join them? Of course you would! I couldn't resist, so I got a mango smoothie with boba and took a few photos. This is a cute cafe with drinks, snacks and gifts. Spirited Away is one of my favorites so I thought this was fun. The theme doesn't carry over to the rest of the cafe though; that would be five stars for sure. read more

A bubble tea spot inside the mall near some other snack locations. They have a decent variety of drinks to chose from and the pricing is decent for a large. On some of the drinks the listed price is actually the small (Mango) and the large is a $1 more. The drinks were overall decent. We tried the mango smoothie and also the honeydew sparkling. read more

Super cute cafe located within Woodfield Mall. The interior of this spot is decorated with lots of cute cats and different anime items which make for fun photo opportunities and a fun atmosphere. In addition to drinks, they offer a wide variety of different frozen and baked dessert items as well - many of which are not easy to find locally, not even in the larger Asian grocery stores in the suburbs. Ordering was quick and easy here on the kiosk, and I was served fairly quickly as well -- despite it being fairly busy inside. The drink was made well, to the sweetness and ice level I asked for. Though there aren't some of the more adventurous drink options available here, I like how this spot offers a bit more unique, and more variety of Asian drink and food options than you'd typically find in a similar concept in a mall. read more

Worst boba I've ever had. The ones in the can are honestly better quality. I got a taro with brown sugar tapioca. The taro was mediocre, but the tapioca pearls were terrible. First off, there was like a tablespoon of those tiny balls, they weren't chewy at all, and they had no flavor. Exactly like the cheap quality barely edible tapioca pearls inside of canned boba. $7 for a small drink too... What a waste of money. I honestly feel scammed. I've gotten microwaveable boba, and canned boba that was better quality than this. At least the inside of the cafe was cute. read more

We also got a 5 piece chicken wing in honey sauce and a taro blended smoothie. The popcorn chicken with dduk-bokki was plentiful for a lunch special. The OG sauce is DELICIOUS! It's slightly spicy, sweet, umami, and covered everything well! The popcorn chicken was crispy and juicy, nice plump sized pieces, and the dduk-bokki was nicely seared, chewy, and fresh! The tater tots were fried well and we dipped it in the OG sauce. The wings were larger and juicy, sooooo crispy, and covered in plenty of yum honey sauce. It wasn't a sickly sweet honey sauce, it was well balanced! The taro freeze tasted like taro which is good. I've had it at other places where it just tastes like a cup of slushy ice and a hint of something. The owner (I think he was the owner) was so sweet and was patient while I tried to figure out what we wanted. Because we were there just before 3:00 on a Monday, it wasn't very busy. There are plenty of tables for seating and enjoying your food. They're spaced nicely apart and all kept clean. The food court area is separate from the grocery store and has its own entrance (far right doors as you face the front of the store). To get to the grocery side you'll have to leave the food court and walk over to the other entrance. Craving some delicious Korean wings, dduk-bboki, or even bingsoo? KCafe will really hit the spot and it's so affordable!

However, I'd join when you are 10 minutes away as sometimes the line goes quick and you get passed. After we are called for our seats, we wait in a small line as they prep the table. After we were seated, the staff quickly gave us water as we looked over the menu. I was not in the mood for a fancy breakfast so I went traditional, Two Eggs over medium, veggie patties (homemade), hash browns and pancakes with decaffeinated coffee with honey. The food came in a nice time, not too long and not too quick- enough to have a nice conversation while waiting. When the food came, everything was cooked to perfection. The eggs over medium, the hash browns were cooked and had that bit of crunch from the skillet. Pancakes were a nice size. And the veggie patties were tasty! The coffee with just honey hit the spot. It appears everyone else really liked their food as it was pretty quiet. Lol. I enjoy this place especially bringing family and friends from out of town. Good times and great memories.

I ordered the like chocolate banana bathing suit and it was super delicious. I'm not into the strawberries or the mangoes so I was so happy to discover that they had the chocolate banana flavor. They also did have the Oreo flavored things too but the lady recommended the chocolate banana cuz the Oreo is more of an artificial or more simple flavor according to her. Service was great she knew what she was talking about and she was able to recommend something. The place is nice. It's actually a good place to hang out because they are also open late and they do have rooms that they can rent out for like $15 an hour plus the food that you order. I would definitely come back for more things to and desserts because they also have cakes that I would be interested in trying. Happy eating!

Service is good, the woman who is there - possibly the owner is nice. The space is open and a good place to work or meet with friends.

They also offer a variety of cold drinks and candy, chocolate, and popcorn. I checked this cafe out for breakfast and got myself a small Starbucks latte as well as an almond croissant. Pricewise; it was pretty decent as paid $11 for this pairing. I expected the almond croissant to be heated but they gave it to me cold and was a tad disappointed with this. Nevertheless it was still a good croissant and enjoyed with my latte. I got my breakfast around 7:30am in the morning and the crowd was already quite forming. By the time I got my coffee; there was already line. This wasn't a surprise since this hotel is frequented by travelers and convention go-ers. Overall I was happy that the hotel I am staying at had a local "Starbucks."

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

My mom constantly mentioned how she would like to visit this place and Mother's Day gave me the…read moreperfect opportunity to turn that wish into a reality. I bought tickets to the 1:30 pm show on Mother's Day. Tickets were $76.95 each, but I was able to get 15% off directly from their website for Mother's Day so I actually paid $65.41 each. I also decided to upgrade to their Queen's package which is an additional $30 per ticket. So overall, I paid around $190 for my mother and I. The doors open at noon- which is around the time we got there. For check in- this is where you are assigned a knight to root for. We got the black and white knight. We also got our VIP lanyards and our package came with taking 2 photos! They didn't open the doors to the arena until approximately 1:00 pm. They have an area just outside of the arena where you can order drinks from the bar, buy souvenirs, watch the horses eat, etc. Once the arena opened we were seated in table number 3 (which is actually the first row). For food we had a tomato basil soup, garlic bread, a very large chicken, and corn on the Cobb. With the Queen package you also get a slice of cake. The food surpassed my expectations, it was really really really good! Everything was. There was not one mediocre dish on my plate- everything was tasty and I wasn't expecting that. My piece of chicken was humongous. The whole meal was super filling. Side-note: we had to eat everything with our hands, because this is medieval times! So, there will be no silverware for you. And of course, my knight won! So that was a plus. Overall, this is a great event for all ages. Me and my party had tons of fun, and we're all grown. So, I can only imagine how much fun this is for children! Plus we left with so much stuff. I took home a crown, a glass (I got to keep from ordering from the bar), I took home my lanyard, my little flag I was waving around, and I took home our pictures that was included in the package. So, you definitely do not leave empty handed. I really enjoyed this experience! I thought it was super fun!

It came with VIP lanyards, preferred seating, two photos in cute frames that we received at the end, and cake as well. We were seated at Table 1, and I honestly you couldn't get any closer to the action. Being right there made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Pros: There was plenty of parking and plenty of seating available. I also liked that they have multiple showtimes throughout the day, which gives you flexibility when planning your day. They have a bar with a pretty good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and the staff throughout the building were friendly. Cons: It is extremely loud inside. It was hard to hear the person giving directions from above, so everyone kind of just started moving at once. The seating is also very tight, and if you're sitting next to someone who needs a little extra space, it can be challenging. The seats sit very low to the ground, so anyone who is pregnant or has bad knees may struggle getting in and out comfortably. The food was okay, but it came out so slowly that it was hard to eat everything while it was still hot. The chicken, corn, and potato were the best parts of the meal. The soup tasted like it came from a can, and the garlic bread reminded me of the frozen kind you buy at the grocery store and heat up at home. Overall, we had an absolute blast and would definitely go back. The show, the horses, and being so close to the action made it a memorable experience. Just go in knowing it's more about the entertainment than the food, and you'll have a great time. I didn't post too many photos because I didn't want to spoil it for anyone.

The side dishes were fantastic especially the stewed rib ends, made for really good fried rice at the end when they brought out some rice and used the rest of the sides for a wonderful rice. We had fun, really liked our staff, and I think if I lived closer, Koreana would be my new favorite spot.

It was so shocking that we just had to laugh - (what if I didn't WANT to go home ??) Anyway, besides that, we'd definitely return- we had the hot stone bibim bap and I had the silky tofu seafood hot pot which would have been better if it had "seafood" besides two tasty shrimp - I did ask and was told that there are mussels as well but maybe that's not in the Friday night hot pot. No mind. It was delicious- we shall return - at an earlier hour so we don't get kicked out to the kerb at closing
