    Brenda C.

    Came here Sept 30th at 6pm with my friend to get some boba before her flight. As soon as we walk in, there was no one in sight to attend us. We called the business in hopes someone would come out from the back rooms but that didn't work. We said "Hello anyone here" multiple times and no one answered. We thought maybe they were in the bathroom so we knocked and no one answered. The last place we decided to check was behind the curtains in the back..and there was literally someone standing there completely ignoring us. She said is unable to help cause the cashier is in the bathroom. So we waited but wondered why couldn't she just tell us that from the beginning rather than ignoring us. Once the cashier came out, she argued with us saying we were at fault for trying to get someone to help us. She mentioned that she saw us coming up to the door and quickly went to the bathroom (probably to avoid us and ignore us) then she got upset cause she said the owner gets mad that customers look for help in the back. Well none of this bs would've happened if she didn't run off to hide in the bathroom. If you don't like your job then you should not work there. Also this place recently changed their name from boba bear to poppin panda.

    We had amazing service and drinks! employees are super nice and helpful did not take long!

It was missing the cream shown on the menu, and I know how it should look since I've ordered before. I understand they may have run out since it was late (around 8:45pm), but it's disappointing that no one informed us. They could've at least explained it to the person picking up the order instead of saying nothing. I ended up paying full price for an incomplete product. -also, at least at the NorthRiver Side location, the sugar level option doesn't seem to be respected. Whether you ask for 25% or 50%, the drinks always taste like 100%. If that can't be controlled, it shouldn't be listed as an option. -as a frequent customer, I used to earn points and redeem them for a free boba, a couples weeks ago I was told that option was no longer available. I really like the drinks here, but overall there needs to be better communication and more transparency with customers.

I like how there are pieces of fresh peach in there. My family members are fans of the mango slush drink. Usually, you order everything at the kiosks, and then they will call out your name. There are a few food options like mini pancakes. Side note: If you spend a certain amount at the nail salon next door (Future Nails) you get a complimentary drink from The Wolf.

As a lover of boba tea drinks and Korean corn dogs, it became an instant bookmark for me after finding that it has plant-based sausage as a filling option in its corn dogs which not many Kong Dog locations have. It took me minutes to find where it was located because I thought it had its own space, so I took many turns around this parking lot in search of it. I found that its location sits within North Riverside Park Mall, inside of the food court. Rather than wait in line to order, I ordered via a kiosk machine which was tolerable and easy to navigate through. And as I visited for, I ordered a Potato Kong Dog (plant-based sausage filling), and a Mango Lemonade (Strawberry Popping Boba). In spite of dreading congested areas, I dined within the food court in order to eat my food while it was fresh. And because I located a seat in an open area of the food court. The Potato Kong Dog tasted delicious! Its crunchy potato coating complemented the soft tenderness of the plant-based sausage filling inside which was satisfying. And that colorful Mango Lemonade (Strawberry Popping Boba) was flavorful indeed. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Kong Dog (North Riverside Park Mall). And as stated in this review, I enjoyed my meal and would surely re-visit if I get just the slightest craving for a Korean Hot Dog.

    I'm on a quest to try as many restaurants in Chinatown as I can. So after a disappointing trip of…read morefinding no Danganrompa plushies or anything to give a a gift to my budding cosplayer, I pu Jed up some of her favorite not really Chinese dish of Orange Chicken. This restaurant has outdoor seating despite winter and the Covid shutdown. You know the deal, outside in plastic with heat lamps, but I ordered to go and they let me wait inside. The Orange Chicken was the least greasy I've seen. The sauce looked fresh and recently prepared. I got the Ma Po Spicy Tofu sans pork and enjoyed it. The garlic string beans s also pleased and not a fan of tapioca like my daughter is, but the tapioca in the bubble tea was delicious. All in all, I'd definitely order from here again.

The chicken came in a reusable plastic tray with lid and rice in a standard paper take-out box. The chicken's glaze was thin or... watery. I could only sort of taste the orange. I thought letting leftovers sit overnight might help, but when I reheated it - in the oven, not microwaved - it didn't help. As far as prices go, they're pretty much average for the area. And it was a good amount of chicken for the price. I didn't wait long for my food, but it also wasn't busy at all. I'm hoping it was just an off-night. Maybe ordering closer to dinnertime would've been a better batch. I wouldn't feel right giving it 2 stars, because it wasn't awful, so I'll call it 2.5/5. For now.

We came in for shakes and left completely blown away. I had the churro shake, my sons had the banana and Oreo -- all three were incredible. Not your average ice cream shop shakes. These things are next level. The shop also has a very cool old school ice cream shop vibe. But honestly, what made the experience was the two people working. A young lady and a young man who were both so attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful. They let us try a few flavors before we ordered, walked us through everything, and never made us feel rushed. That kind of customer service is rare anywhere, let alone at an ice cream shop. If you're in the area and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

This is a cute little downtown area, and unfortunately, it's barren on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Which worked well for us as we showed up and no one was there. Just us, which gave us plenty of time to sample the various flavors, and chat with the person working in this cute little ice cream shop. They can make all these cute shakes and sundaes with all kinds of toppings, but seeing as we aren't young kids, there's no way we could eat confections such as what I listed above. Instead, we got to try their various flavors. Thinking back, I believe I got a watermelon ice cream. I could be wrong. However, I do remember how juicy, fruity, and sweet the ice cream was. Not sweet like overly sweetened lemonade that puckers one's lips, but like the sweet sensation of a perfectly ripe watermelon, bursting with succulent. flavor. It was like that. And man was it good! If I lived in Riverside or close by, I would be there all the time. So thankfully, we were out for a drive and wanted some ice cream and found this cute little shop. They have a few small tables inside, but what makes this a town square right out of the 1950s are the cute little wireframe tables and chairs they had outside along the sidewalk so you can sit and enjoy your cone, and people watch. And we did just that. If I'm nearby again someday, I'll definitely pop in and grab a delicious cone. There flavor options were plentiful, whimsical, and flavorful. However, for the time being, I'll just post this review and hope others pop in to enjoy the cones and flavors they're providing.
