Serious Sanji - Piggy Buns (dessert) Egg Custard - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

I'm in love. Seriously, I'm in love. I have been looking for a place that offered dim sum and dumplings for a while now (ever since I experienced them at Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone in Seattle) and I can honestly say that Seriously Sanji is a great place. My wife told me there was a dumpling place in Northbrook and took me there for a late lunch the other day. I know that she's not a fan of dumplings, but "took one for the team" and brought me there. We just ordered basic beverages, her a water and I a Coke Zero. She then ordered Pad Thai and I ordered chicken soup dumplings and chicken sanji. The pad thai came out first and it was a huge portion. She barely put a dent into it and it became two additional meals later. She said it was different than other places she's had it and that it was good, but different. I noticed the chicken pieces were huge chunks and the sauce had a little kick to it and wasn't thick, but it was tasty. I first got the chicken soup dumplings. Man, they were good. They're larger than the ones I've had at Din Tai Fung and The Dough Zone, but they sure are delicious. And since I prefer not to drive into the city and spend over an hour on the road to get downtown, to go find some other dumpling/dim sum place; I'm happy there's a great place in the suburbs near me. They rival the other two mentioned previously. Their sauces are great, the dumplings are great. The sanji was delicious. Heck, that's in their darn name. All of it was good. And this is my go to place in the suburbs now. The place is a cute. As you enter the vestibule, there's a dumpling with a body welcoming you in. The place is just all black and red and you wait to be seated. There is a container with chopsticks on each table, but the napkin is wrapped around a fork (most places you have to ask for a fork, so this is a nice change). I could use a knife for the sanji as they are quite big, but it's not a problem eating them without. Our server was very nice and helpful. There's really no place in the north to northwest suburbs that serves this type of food and you'd be foolish to skip it. I'll see you there soon. I'll be the one making the yummy sounds. read more

We went back to Serious Sanji after hearing most of our friends say it was good to give them a second chance. I'm sad to say I'm more disappointed this time around. The service was significantly better but the food was still not worth the hype. We got: Dan dan noodles: 2/5 it's okay. The noodles have good texture and flavor is fine. Spicy chicken: 1/5 it was not spicy at all. Lacked proper chilis and seasoning. Crab soup dumpling: 1/5 didn't have a good flavorful broth in the soup dumpling. Strawberry green tea with brown sugar boba: 2/5 the boba was crystal boba not tapioca for the brown sugar boba. I wish there was some kind of disclaimer or explanation because I expected it to be tapioca with brown sugar. Shu mai: 2/5 it was fine nothing to write home about compared to other shu mai's. Beef sanji: 3/5 I like the crispy bottom I think overall service was better but the food was very disappointing. It is good for convenience if you live in the northshore suburbs but if you're willing to drive there are better options near Evanston. read more

I loved our experience at Serious Sanji! We were seated right away and the restaurant was super clean. Our server was attentive even though there was a bit of a language barrier. I'm a sucker for bubble tea so I loved all the options they had on the menu. It's great to go here with a few people so that you can order a few different things off the menu to try. We got chicken soup dumplings, which were pretty good but not the best I've had. We also had the pork sanji, green beans, bbq buns and the cutest little piggy buns which were amazing as a dessert. They had a custard inside that almost tasted like pineapple and coconut. Overall, loved the meal and will definitely return to try more things! read more

This is a fun Asian restaurant in our neighborhood. It's a dim sum concept with quick service. We've been there twice. On our mid-week dinner experience we had. No trouble getting a table. When we returned on a Friday night there was a wait for a table with quite a few people ahead of us so we placed a to go order. Everything I've tried has been good though the dumplings are a bit doughy. If you want something different from typical Chinese food give Serious Sanji a try. read more

Seriously, Sanji? We had a good visit here so I'm going to increase by another star. We came for lunch on New Years Day, and we were seated right away. We ordered cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, pork soup dumplings, shu mai, greens, bao, and custard buns. Our food came quickly, it was hot, delicious. Basically, they seemed to have ironed out most of the minor problems from the last visit. Seriously Sanji? Good job! read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile now. Of course it was because of the dumpling with boba in one presentation. But they had so many choices i would definitely go back for more. Service was great very attentive. Place was bright nice and clean. I ordered the Lorus Wrap, Crystal Shrimp Dumpling and the boba with mini sanji (dumplings) Everything was great if you compare it to the staple dimsum place everything was smaller but more. Like the lotua wrap usually comes in 2s in other places theirs came in 3s. I feel luke the crystal shrimp dumpling the wrapper is bit thicker than what im used to but taste is good. Definitely must try and im coming back to try more things on the menu. Happy Eating!!! read more

I'l go with 3.49 stars for our lunch visit to this newish suburban dumpling house.  The wife and I ordered 4 dishes, namely:  - beef sanji, $10.95 - pork and chives steamed dumplings, $10.75 - shrimp rice rolls, $8.95 - pork soup dumplings, $11.95 They were all in ok range for the price, and I would say it's a slightly pricey menu, but that's fair as it is a new, airy, and modern restaurant in a newish suburban strip mall.  My favorite was the pan fried beef sanji actually, which were flavorful and with good texture on the fried dumpling skins.  The pork soup dumplings were pretty good, but the broth tasted a bit of chicken flavor, which wasn't bad and maybe neither here nor there, but it wasn't a typical taste of soup dumplings we have had.  The texture of the smallish shrimp rice rolls was very light and delicate and not as firm as with typical rice rolls or crepes.  The pork and chives dumplings were pretty ordinary and wife said she could make the same quality at home.  Overall, decent dumplings, but for a lunch retailing at $42.60 pre tax and tip, the two of us were not stuffed either. Besides dumplings, they also sell some dim sum and other stir fry and noodle entrees as well as milk teas, smoothies, and beer.  I would tend to stick with their dumplings as that is their specialty.  The service was fine and they had pretty brisk business on this Thursday lunch time. It's a nice suburban franchise to have around.  Their location is very convenient as they are basically right off of I-94 at Dundee Road.  Congratulations on the opening of your first franchise here in Illinois! read more

Came here with friends after seeing it all over social media. I'd recommend the Mango Sago and Mini Sanji. Heads up the Mini Sanji only comes in pork, while the regular Sanji has different flavor options. I'd especially recommend getting the Mini Sanji with boba if you're looking for more of a snack or on-the-go option, though the boba selection is limited for this combo. The soup dumplings had plenty of soup, which was great, but the flavor was a bit off for the crab and pork ones. The piggy buns were cute but on the bland side. We weren't really fans of the other boba drinks we tried. They were pretty sweet, so I'd suggest ordering 25% sugar. Service was friendly but could definitely use some improvement. read more

Soup dumplings for the win! We stopped by after Barnaby's looked crazy crowded on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. All the tables here were full, and despite being told the wait would be 20 min, we only had to wait about 10 for our party of 4 to be seated. Sanji is still working on their liquor license, so beer is not available yet, though you'll see it on the back page of the menu. Yay: - onion pancakes. Crispy and flavorful. - beef chow fun, albeit a little greasy, but flavors and textures were there, and it was served piping hot. - beef Sanji! Crispy bottoms and full of plump meat. Also have to try it given the name of the place! - soup dumplings, served with cute spoons for consuming! Nay: - piggy buns. Visual appeal won over the taste. These are filled with a custard, but overall the bites were a bit bland and dry. - rice in lotus leaf. They were very modestly sized and would rather fill up on soup dumplings! We'll be back! The host and waitstaff were very nice and hardworking. read more

Seeing this restaurant all over instagram I knew we needed to make a stop, and we're so glad we did. We came by for an early dinner (and boy did they get busy!) around 3:30pm. We were quickly seated and we ordered a few of the items our waiter told us were best sellers. Our favorite were the mini Sanji with the drink, they were fried and were already dressed so we just have to poke and enjoy. The flavors were delicious! The spring rolls were okay. The shu mais were perfectly steamed. The soup dumplings unfortunately were super salty for us. Maybe we just came on an off day? But the piggy buns were so cute we almost couldn't eat it. It was the perfect sweet treat to finish our meal. The two drinks we got were a mango green tea and a taro milk tea. I love sweet drinks, but they were a tad too sweet for me. The best part is you can adjust sweetness, something for us to know for next time. Overall a decent experience. I'll definitely have to come back for the mini sanjis! read more

I get a little too excited when new restaurants open in my neighborhood and I'm apparently in good company because Serious Sanji has been absolutely packed for their soft opening. We decided to skip the crowds and do takeout from here for dinner tonight. We ordered some baos, a variety of dumplings, hot & sour soup (spicy!), spring rolls and cucumbers. Everything disappeared within minutes because the entire family was a fan and my always ravenous boys were asking for more. Next time we will have to order more! I look forward to dining in and am also excited when we are able to get this delivered, which I assume is coming based on their other locations (mostly in Florida). It's a great spot that I think my family will enjoy eating at and at home pretty often! read more

Serious Sanji - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

I had been extremely excited when I accidentally found out that Serious Sanji opened last Monday, 9-29-2025 (soft opening). I told my entire extended family about it, and got them excited as well. Last Thursday, I went with my husband and daughter to check the restaurant out. When we arrived around 7:00 pm, we snagged a table by the window close to the counter, the cozy restaurant was almost totally filled, with only one table still available. Interestingly, when I passed by during the day, the entire crew was Asian, but none of their front-of-house staff was Asian in the evening. Our server, Michael, was very friendly and took our order efficiently. We ordered five items and three cups of hot green tea. There was some upbeat pop music going on, but it was very loud, that we had to raise our voice in our conversation. When a different server came with the first item, it was not recognizable as something that we had ordered. I even thought that it was a dainty dish of appetizer on the house! Boy, was I wrong! It turned out to be Shrimp Rice Roll (my rating is 1/5) that we ordered, but it had no resemblance with the menu picture at all. The 3 little rice rolls were tiny and flat, with small shrimps wrapped flat inside. The shrimps were hard and dry. The rice rolls did not have the texture of standard rice rolls. This first dish priced at $8.95 was the first disappointment. Then, they brought out the Fried Shrimp Siu Mai (1/5). They were practically just deep-fried dough with nothing inside. I expected actual siu mai that was deep fried. I didn't even know what I was eating, and 6 little pieces of "dough" are priced at $7.95, are you serious? The Lotus Wrap (3.5/5)($8.95) was a bit better. There were 3 small wraps of sticky rice with meat and mushroom, but could use a bit more flavors. The Signature Fried Noodle with Chicken (3/5)($16.95) did not look like the picture either. The noodles were mushy and broken up into short pieces, they were more like "lo mein" than fried noodles. I would not dare to wish for "wok hey" at this point. However, the flavor was not bad, and the chicken was not dry. They saved the best for last. The Pork Soup Dumplings (4/5)($11.95) were actually pretty good. There were 6 pieces in an order. Michael brought out 3 red dumpling catchers that really facilitated eating the soup dumplings. I would return and eat this dish again. We did not try the Sanji bao this time around. At some point, we might return and try that dish. I hope Serious Sanji would improve and is here to stay. My suggestion is that they should just focus on what they could do best, like their soup dumplings and Sanji bao, and get rid of the unauthentic dim sum that is going to hurt their reputation. Definitely should remove the rice rolls and fried siu mai, unless they change the recipes. Also, the food should look like that on the menu photos, that customers use to guide their decisions. Then, both their customers and they would be happier. I don't mind that they are on the pricey side, but the food has to be good to match the price. Yes, I am serious! read more

Serious Sanji - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Came here for the first time on a Saturday evening around 6 PM. I do not believe they are taking reservations. When we got there, there was definitely a line of people standing by the door as well as people waiting inside in the seating area by the to go pick up space. Upon walking in there was a man taking your name, but actually giving you a notebook for you to write your name and your phone number and number of people in your party. My total wait time was less than 10 minutes and then we got seated. As you can tell from the photos, we ordered quite a bit of items. Overall breakdown is this that the portions are rather small. And sometimes lacking. For example, the Mongolian beef was truly a hunt for beef. The shumai pork and shrimp were very tiny, but tasty. The soup dumplings had a really good wrapper consistency because it was nice and thin. I did tell the person who seemed like the host that I did not understand why they did not have proper soup dumpling soup spoons. Everything was brought out super hot and fresh. The garlic green beans were definitely garlic, although those slightly overcooked. The wonton soup to note is purely a pork wonton no shrimp. The brown sugar Boba that was ordered was very good. The pork chashu bao also very good. I absolutely love that there are so many new dumpling places opening, especially a dumpling place on this side of town. It is located in a strip mall, so there is a lot of shared parking. The service however, was also a little bit confusing because we were seated by one person greeted by another than another person took our order and then at least three people came by with bringing the food and or two rounds of water refills. Service needs an improvement as far as probably a clear division of roles and responsibilities as well as expectations. For example, our primary waiter, knowing when to be attentive, knowing when not to be. Also being a little bit more intuitive as well, realizing that the table had not eaten, and/or had stopped eating. The water refills were consistently inconsistent as well as a Diet Coke refill. I look forward to this place improving as it continues to stay open longer. read more

I didn't go in with any expectation, so there was no disappointment. The service is very slow but this may be due to soft opening. It's a full house but I felt like there was only 1 person taking order for the whole floor, so often time, it was hard to catch our server to add additional order of food. Water is also not filled until asked. Food took a long time to come out, portion size is also quite small, so place everything you wanted all at once and be prepared to wait a while for lukewarm food to come out. Quite a few popular dish (pork and beef sanjis and soup dumplings) were already out when we sat down at noon, an hour after it's open. So we didn't get to try them...the Dan Dan noodles is probably the best we had among the other dishes here ...skip the spicy beef noodle soup and shrimp crepes as you can see from the photos, IYKYK....and also they must mistaken chinese "crepe" with "western crepe" because the crepe we had is sweet. LOL The dan dan noodles and the spicy wonton also have sweet note to them which i found really weird... read more

I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures till the end! They are in their soft opening phase so definitely need to come back and try new things. We LOVED our waiter, so personable and so quick at recommending items. We got the pork and chicken soup dumplings, which we loved (the pork more than the chicken but both still good). We tried the pork and shrimp shu mi which was our second favorite. Lastly the beef Sanji, which we probably won't get again. Super sad that they ran out of the beef chow fun during lunch but all the more reason to come back to try it! A decent amount of seating but I can see this place gaining popularity super quick and having a wait! read more

Food seemed decent. I'm a dumpling lover and this place can scratch the itch if needed. Was more good than bad, had all the trimming and flavors were all there. The soup dumplings just came out messy and pulled apart easily so you lost the soup. The potstickers were good and crispy(fried). Service is good and friendly and place is clean since it's so new. I want this place to work and just get a shade better. I will be back but I'm not craving it yet. read more

We popped in for dinner on a Sunday evening, looking for something different than our usual haunts. We ordered the beef sanji, chicken soup dumplings, and barbecue pork buns. My only complaint about the restaurant is that the menu doesn't list any ingredients so it felt a little like exploring the unknown. Our server asked about allergies and reported back that everything we ordered would be safe for me. Everything was delicious. We agreed that the beef sanji was our favorite - pan fried and flavorful. The chicken soup dumplings were really good, too, and the barbecue pork buns had great flavor and the perfect bun texture. Their menu is extensive, featuring bubble teas, entrees, soups, and a variety of dumplings and buns. This is a much needed addition to this area of Northbrook! read more

My friend and I tried this place tonight for dinner. The service was fast and friendly. We ordered the milk teas. You had to choose your sweetness level and add ins which was a little different. They were pretty good. We had a few different dishes. The chili oil wontons were our favorite. The pork buns were ok, there was a sweetness to the meat inside I don't like sweet when it's supposed to be savory. The cucumbers even in the sauce didn't marinate long enough to keep the flavor of the sauce. We tried 2 different kinds of soup dumplings. The pork ones were good but the crab and pork I couldn't eat more than one of because it was kind of fishy tasting. I would go back to try some of their main meals as well. read more

My friend and I went here and luckily we got a table because it was so packed! They opened a month ago and everything tasted delicious. Our waiter was new on his first day and I was a little insulted when he pointed out that we were eating slow/suggested to heat up food or asked if we liked it...maybe it was a joke but we were eating at our pace and catching up. Besides that, the food came out at a decent time and the ambiance is bright and pretty. I would come back to try other things since it is a huge menu and their bubble tea! My favorite from what we got was the shrimp pad thai. read more

Such a fun new addition to Northbrook! I came in on a Sunday evening and it was crowded! We got a table in about 10 min and despite the crowd service was great. We enjoyed the adorable piggy buns filled with a creamy egg custard. The sesame chicken came out piping hot and was crispy. The pork soup dumplings were amazing dipped in soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili oil. We did not care for the vegetable noodle soup because it lacked flavor and only tasted of cilantro. The fruit boba drinks were yummy and sweet. I would totally come back to try more! read more

Tried Serious Sanji for the first time and only had the chance to sample their drinks, but I'm already excited to go back and try more--especially their dumplings and other menu items. We ordered the strawberry yogurt and the peach milk tea, and I highly recommend both. The strawberry yogurt isn't a thick yogurt drink like it sounds. It's refreshing, sweet, and comes with popping boba. The milk tea was creamy and the peach flavor was bold in a good way. Both were super delicious, refreshing, and exactly what I want from a good boba spot. I also appreciated that you could choose sugar and ice levels. I'm so glad Northbrook has a new bubble tea place to love. Drinks came out quickly, and the customer service was genuinely kind even though we came in right before closing. This is definitely going to be my new go-to spot for sugary drink cravings. I can't wait to be back to try the other items on their menu! read more

Came here for a Friday lunch and just missed a rush of people so was seated quickly. Service was quick as well, we ordered a spicy soup and one set of buns. There isn't a lot of meat in the buns, just a pinch, the bread around it was tasty. The spicy soup was flavorful, but definitely had a kick. Prices were on the higher side, but guess that's Northshore. For the two items we bought after tax and tip it was $40. There's still a pretty steady stream of people coming in and out. Inside it was quiet enough that you can have a conversation. Parking is easy. If you decide to do carry out then it looks like you can simply run in and grab your bag and run out. Definitely would be willing to try other dishes, but next time may just do carry out to avoid chance of waiting! read more

Ok, went to Serious Sanji and felt that the soup dumplings were excellent. The other items we ordered were meh. We had wonton noodle soup (bland) ha gow (measly little dumplings needed more shrimp in them) and lotus wrapped rice (good but only had mushroom and a little meat) ordered hoisin sauce and they brought a version of super salty intense seafood oyster sauce for cooking, NOT a condiment! All in all I'd go back to get the soup dumplings and cautiously try some other things. Nice to have the option of homemade soup dumplings in the suburbs with the price of gas! This saves some money and time if you are in the mood for dim sum but not up to the journey of Chinatown. read more

I came in with high expectations based on reviews from a friend and left disappointed. The space is small and can't really accommodate large groups. Portions are small for the price. We love soup dumplings, and honestly, these weren't that good. My daughter barely touched them. We were pretty shocked at the final bill for what we ordered. Service was so slow and challenging to get anyone's attention. read more

Serious issues with keeping up with food orders. Careful ordering entrees because they'll come eat later than the rest of your dishes.

Definitely not my cup of tea.... I guess I'm not a dumpling fan unlike my fellow diners. They enjoyed the soup dumplings and bao balls, with both chicken and pork. The soup dumplings to me were like slimy pot stickers but the wok fried ones I enjoyed a bit more. The egg rolls were average but were cut diagonally in half allowing them to cool off in record time. The worst choice was the scallion pancakes which were limp and greasy. The beef with noodles was the best of the mains and unfortunately the orange and sesame chicken dishes were over breaded and too chewy. The Mongolian beef was lame and according to one who'd eaten it before, not up to its prior taste. I admit I'm not a Korean-Chinese fusion fan and this certainly confirms it. Were it not for my fellow diners, I'd have given it a 2! I will not return..... read more

We may have gotten carried away with the ordering at the NEW @serious_sanji in Northbrook! 4 of us tried 8 items - everything was excellent! Stand outs were the Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumplings, Szechuan Spicy Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, and Green Beans with Garlic. Service had a few hiccups, but I won't ding them a star since they are new. We had to ask several times for serving utensils since we were clearly eating family style. When we asked for a spoon for a saucy dish, we were handed tongs. Had to wait for them to come around again to ask again and beg for water (Spicy dishes are indeed very spicy!). Doors are oddly heavy and ordering kiosk is for to go orders only. Will return! read more

Did you know? Serious sanji has three diff kinds of sanji buns. The best things were the sanji buns and beef chow fun. The rest of the items are not authentic dim sum. I suspect they purchase and reheat from frozen. The piggy buns, shrimp dumplings, and green onion pancake are available at an asian grocery store, which were steamed and served. The smoothie had crunchy tapioca which was a very unappetizing texture. If you're looking for good dim sum, this was very underwhelming. In addition, there are many service items that need to be resolved before coming here. There was no liquor license and the queue was based on who could snag the table first. read more

My husband and I are soup dumpling fans so we were excited to try this place. We were disappointed when the soup dumplings came out. We only got pork bc the crab and pork ones were out. First bad sign was that the sauce that was brought out was not typical black vinegar and ginger based. The dumplings looked bloated and as we picked up the dumplings we could see that it was over cooked so all the soup leaked out. None of the dumplings in our 2 orders had any soup. The pork filling was overcooked so it was a weird mix of bloated and wet dumpling skin with dry pork. We also got an order of spare ribs which wasn't too bad...just a tad on salty side from the sauce. Not sure we'll try this place again. They did just open last week and I'm thinking the sanji dumplings may be better since it's the name of the restaurant. read more

Tonight I stopped by for the second time. I thought I'd give them another try as my first take out order was so overloaded with oil, it wasn't edible. I explained to the manager and she was nice enough to give me a complimentary soup dumpling order. Tonight I ordered pan fried noodle with chicken. I eat a lot of Asian food and pan fried noodles means crispy and soft noodles. These were gloppy overcooked and not appealing at all. The soup dumplings weren't great either...chicken fat flowed out when I cut into them. I live in the area and I know quite a few people who've eaten here and do not plan on going back. The service is friendly but the food quality will not keep their doors open. Hopefully they can pivot and find chefs that know how to properly cook Asian food. read more
