    Firstly, shoutout to the staff. There was two of them and they handled a dinner rush like pros. When we got there and ordered there were only a couple of people ordering and by the time I had gotten out of the bathroom the lobby was full. Secondly, the decor of the place is pretty cool. Great Wall design, mini arcade, very instagrammable. In terms of drinks - we liked them a lot. I had the Lovebirds Tea with Coffee and Tapioca and that tasted pretty good, and I love coffee so that was good for me. And my wife got the uni fruit combo Jasmine green tea and she liked that as well. Well come back next time and order food too!

    Came here on a Thursday around noon and it was empty. I self order for my things. I got my drink quick and Japanese rice ball came a little after. Service was fine, girl at the front was friendly. My drink was really good and just the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Got the peach watermelon Jasmine Green Tea Yakult with 30% sugar and less ice. I thought it tasted quite watered down and everyone that I was with also said it wasn't very good. I don't taste the yakult either but it taste like water with a hint of watermelon and mainly jasmine flavor. Service was okay and lot of seating.

    Pinapple smoothie
    Em K.

    Stopped by Uni Uni and got a pineapple smoothie, which was solid and refreshing. I've heard their bubble tea is what they're known for, so I'm looking forward to trying that next time. The place has lots of seating, which is nice you can sit down and enjoy your drink rather than fighting for a spot. Seems like a great hangout spot and I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

    What a fun experience going to a pop up here. I ordered the Grapefruit Mango Sago drink at 70% sweetness and it was PERFECT for me. They have delicious snacks as well....and the whole atmosphere was super chill and cool. The service was super quick and also super friendly. I don't live close enough, but I know if I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming here for some Boba!

    Pu'er Milk Tea with Milk Mochi (Regular)
    Minerva H.

    I got the pu'er milk tea with milk mochi. I wish the tea flavor was a bit stronger and for there to have been more mochi. Value isn't great either - it's pretty small of a drink for over $7. This location is pretty spacious though, good for doing work.

    Katsu Curry

    I'm a fan of their bubble tea and was excited when I saw Katsu Curry! Super disappointed that they put a whole lemon wedged squeezed in the curry - I'm ok with it on the side but it over powered the curry

    Soy Milk Black Tea Latte
    Steve A.

    Got some bubble tea from this place on Argyle. It looks like one of those cartoonish bubble tea shops, and it is. Uni Uni has a few locations, including this one in Uptown. Has many teas to choose from. There's milk teas, as well as some non dairy milks to use as a substitute. A good place for an Asian business. It's among the many of these along this street. The inside isn't that big but has more than enough tables. A lot here to get. It's about $6 for a latte. Last time I got the Soy Milk Black Tea Latte. It was pretty good without being overly sugary and helped me to get cool. The rest of the menu features teas with the cheese foam that's on top. Has a lot for those who like bubble tea and other coffee. It's closed Tuesdays. There's milk teas as well as some that are okay for vegans.

    Odd first impression. First off i walked in to the overwhelming odor of fish - not in a good way - and obv that was such a displeasant experience. Second, the menu seemed different than what I usually expect from a boba/bubble tea place. I usually order strawberry or honeydew milk tea. The menu at the kiosk didn't have these options. I ended up ordering a "special" strawberry milk tea with milk mochi. I'm not sure what milk mochi is tbh. Also for $8, the cup is really small. I get bubble tea from time to time and it's almost always in a 20 oz+ cup. THAT SAID, the girl working put a lot of effort into making this drink, even muddling fresh strawberries. The drink itself isn't quite what I usually get and love. It's okay but not what I was expecting.

    Smoothie joint, smoothie joint, smoothie joint, tehehe! Post completion of my run nearby, I discovered Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago after a quick search of restaurants with 'Smoothies' via yelp. Uni Uni Uptown just happened to be ranked number eight within a radius of the area I was in, and not too far off from my route which made it very acceptable to choose. I ordered their large strawberry smoothie with cloud cream online via yelp after briskly scrolling through the menu. Ordering online via the yelp application was very convenient because by the time I arrived to pick up my drink, it was ready behind the counter upon my arrival. Uni Uni Uptown itself sits within what is referred to as Chicago's second Chinatown, West Argyle Street Historic District amongst a plethora of businesses and restaurants. During this visit, I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot as I entered the area which was pay by the plate. If you are not fortunate as I was, keep in mind that there is neighborhood parking, as well as parking off some of the side streets of W Argyle St. I just could not resist taking a sip of my strawberry smoothie after getting inside of my vehicle. Mmm, it was so good! Eeek! Brain freeze! Ya'll! And on top of being charmed out of my panties after my first sip, these taste buds of mine were surged with that cold delicious strawberry smoothie flavor that I love and desired. Since I am now familiar with Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago, I would gladly order from again, which would more than likely be in the same fashion post completion of a run nearby. And besides, it allows me to once again visit the West Argyle Street Historic District. Recommendations: Uni winter special hot drinks (brown sugar ginger rose black tea); Signature smoothies (banana smoothie, strawberry smoothie, mango smoothie); Flavored yogurt with crystal boba (strawberry yogurt, peach yogurt); Flavored yakult (peach watermelon jasmine green tea, passion fruit jasmine green tea, lemon pineapple, kiwi); Fresh fruit tea (grapefruit jasmine green tea, uni fruit combo jasmine green tea, navel orange jasmine green tea, pineapple jasmine green tea with passion fruit, strawberry orange jasmine green tea). ~ Yabba dabba doo! ~ Thomas G

    White Peach Yogurt with Crystal Boba

    Dropped by for a quick boba date and tried their Yakult peach drink! So yummy!! Nice and sweet and refreshing. Perfect for the summer. This location is not as interactive as the Uni Uni in Chinatown but I'm lucky I'm a few blocks away since it's super quick and convenient.

    Fruit combo Jasmine tea

    My experience here is always immaculate! From the tea, foods and the people that handle my orders, fabulous!! Chef kiss! Their drinks are always on point and it is so beautiful too. When you are in argyle, stop by here for some amazing drinks!!!

    Ini ini is a boboa tea place in China PL Chicago IL. The tea place was cute yet simple. This place of origin was founded right in the heart of Chicago with a selection of actual fruit yet blended with different mixtures such as honey, foam cheese. Boba and much more. There are many selections on the drink menu. I requested to get the yogurt strawberry crystal boboa which has honey filled boba. It was very delicious and they put actual real strawberries inside. I don't recommend anyone lactose tolerant tho to try the yogurt drinks because it is heavy on dairy but they have other options such as fresh blended juices as well. Not only do they have drinks but they have a light menu as well where you can order chicken popcorn, homemade Taiwanese sausage, takoyaki, chicken nuggets and crispy fried squid. This place is definitely worth a try!

    It's good but it's like most boba tea. It's a very cool interior on the inside. It's still very good though.

I've been doing work around Argyle for many years, but somehow never got the chance to check out Bambu, so I'm really appreciative to Yelp for giving me an excuse to finally stop in and experience this cozy spot. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled! I love that fresh, warm waffle aroma, it immediately made me want to try everything on the menu. The staff were all incredibly sweet and welcoming. The menu is huge, with plenty of options to choose from, but I decided to go with the mango smoothie with red boba, which was really delicious. I also thought the origami kit provided by Yelp was such a nice touch and a fun little addition to the experience. I'll definitely be back to try some of their waffle offerings because there were so many things on the menu that caught my attention. I really hope this business continues to thrive and do well in the neighborhood. Thanks again to Yelp for the opportunity to finally check out Bambu!

I've been here twice total now, and both times the food has been excellent. I didn't realize this place was pescatarian the first time. I picked the mister grecco panini for the artichoke hearts: It was a little salty due to the olives, but it wasn't overwhelming. I really enjoyed the fresh side salad especially the honey mustard dressing. I would order this again, but there's so many other menu items I want to try too.

Both the gal at the deli and the cashier checking us out seemed to deliberately do a bad job. They were giving intense anger vibes about being there. The gal at the deli deliberately left the deli door open (thus making the food age & spoil faster) after pulling out the chicken breasts (just two) that we ordered. Then, still leaving the door open, she sloooowly packed them. We wondered how cold the deli really was with the door being left open like this every time she packed an order. Her conversational style was clipped and curt. As customers, we were clearly interrupting her day. The cashier at the checkout line carefully tied a plastic bag around the clamshell plastic container of food we got from the salad bar. Then, she shoved it vertically into the shopping bag, ensuring that juices from all of the foods gushed out of the container (into the plastic bag), and the meal was now left all mushed together in a pile. After going to this location for many years, this week's visit will be our last.
