    This place was the absolutely adorable!! I ordered the strawberry mochi and the ube mochi doughnut. The only thing that would make them better is if they were hot! They were cooked well the flavor is there I just like warm/hot doughnuts. I also tried my friends mango oolong tea with popping boba. Delicious ! You don't have to interact with staff much because you order on the computer.

    Are you guys ready for this review?? So my partner decided we are going to china town for lunch with his mom and sister. Family day in the city, DURING A SNOWSTORM!! We arrive, place is closed, will open in 10 mins. Perfect, we go to a near by shop and I spot some demon hunter Stanley cups!! I get them of course! We head to lunch, everything is great! As we are heading out, my partners sister spots Te'amo! I ask if she's ever had mochi donuts. She hasn't, so of course we must stop in because everyone needs to try them at least once!!! We order at the kiask and patiently wait for our order. We get our order and leave....leaving the bag with the Stanley's behind!!! We don't realize this until we are home (45 mins away)! I immediately call, no answer, call again, no answer. I decide to DM their instagram page and guess what??? THEY HAD THE CUPS!!! Here I was thinking $150 in cups were gone. But they had them!!! A miracle!! 10/10 stars!! Anyway! I highly recommend the brûlée ube milk tea and the ube mochi donuts!!

    The Ube Donut was sooo delicious I don't think I've even a donut so fast that I forgot to take a photo of it. Ube Coffee Delgona topped with Brule and milk foam is also so delicious if you ask for it's only 25% less sweet - there's an option and I went with that. Service was good- it was only one person but overall it was good service

    We stopped in for boba while we were in Chinatown to get out of the rain, and honestly the space is adorable. The pastel aesthetic is very Instagram-friendly, and they have a ton of branded merch if that's your kinda thing. Ordering was fast since everything's done through self-service kiosks, and it wasn't very crowded when we went. Service felt slower than other Te'amo locations I've visited, and there were a few dirty tables and full trash cans sitting around, which wasn't great. That said, our drinks were well made and tasted exactly how they should. I'm a big fan of the brand overall, so I'm guessing this was just an off day. I'd still come back and give this location another try.

    This place was soooo cute! Stopped by after my nail appointment in chinatown. It did say it was open at 11am but didn't open until 11:30am - just a heads up in case you look at Google hours. Upon walking in you see the vibrant and girly colors & decor. Cute & comfy tables with different LED's. I ordered at a kiosk, but I wanted to order at a register because I had InKind with a discount but no one came to greet me. That's why I took the star away - no real customer service interaction but I'm not sure if that's the goal? The latte itself was good - the strawberry was a great addition!

    Nice staff, tasty drinks - boba had a good consistency, not hard or mushy. Craving satisfied! They also have a few other desserts available like mochi donuts, cakes and coconut panna cotta.

    There was only one drink I tried but off the bat it was absolutely delicious!! I loved this place and the options they had.

    Got a really delicious Thai iced tea with boba here. The pearls are perfectly squishy and the tea had really good flavor. Sad the mochi donuts aren't gluten free but they did have GF cheesecake, just not my preference

    Okinawa Milk Tea and White Moustache Green Tea

    Had Te'amo Boba Bar while waiting for our table for dinner with family. I ordered the white mustache green tea and my boyfriend got the Okinawa milk tea. We both got boba with our drinks. The downside to our visit was their system was down and only accepting cash at the moment. It luckily wasn't an issue as our cousin had cash with him. The packaging is a cool concept with it being a sealed lid. The only downside is it can easily be spilled since it's just a big hole once it's opened. The white mustache green tea had a good balance of creaminess and fresh notes. The Okinawa milk tea wasn't bad itself either. It was nice roasted flavor! The boba was also the perfect texture. Overall, it's a good boba place. There's a lot of options to pick from and you'll find something to your liking.

    Nice and clean place in Chicago's Chinatown. There are 2 kiosks from which to order. It was pretty user-friendly. We ordered two drinks with boba and one without. The drinks come in some tall plastic cans that open like soda cans. Everything tasted just right. Sweetness was perfect. Bobas were soft, chewy, and flavorful. We were happy with all of the items. The girl who helped us was efficient. There were barely any interactions with the staff, but the few we had were short and cordial.

    Had their Dalgona Matcha w/ Boba and an White Moustache Ube Milk Drink and both were very tasty and came in cool cans. Definitely one of the cooler designs for a boba cup I have seen. The Matcha Boba was very creamy and had a nice matcha flavor with nice and chewy boba. A little bit too hard though, but can look past that. The Ube was rich and creamy, the cheese foam at the top was nice and blended well with the ube that was sweet and had a strong ube flavor. The vibe inside was also nice. They also play K-Pop on their speakers and one of the songs was by GFriend which is a plus.

    This place is great! Best boba we had in Chinatown and it comes in a convenient container! We also purchased a few snacks. All of them were delicious. The staff at the counter were friendly and they have a nice little waiting area for you to chill out and wait or enjoy your snacks!

    Claire L.

    Very cute and unique boba shop that offers sealed aluminum containers for your drinks instead of plastic ones. Straightforward ordering process on the self kiosk then watch your drinks being made and sealed in front of your eyes. I ordered the mochi donuts which were so tasty without being overly sweet. Appreciate the selection of yogurt and cakes in the refrigerated case. Highly recommend this boba shop!

    I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out to me. For the price, I felt it was a little pricey compared to Taipei Cafe, and the overall experience did not feel worth it. Overall, the food was just alright, the service could be improved, and the pay-first system was not something I liked. I don't think I would come back.

The taiwanese style popcorn chicken and pork cutlet were super juicy and tender with nicely crisp breading. The sausage had a pleasant sweetness to it and was served with garlic chips, which added a nice touch. Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings
