I was excited to try the chicken at Hello Jasmine as it was recommended as some of the best chicken in Chicago. It is definitely tasty, and I ordered it to go. The chicken eaten fresh may have tasted better and crunchier, but it was still very well seasoned and quite delicious overall. I also ordered the popcorn chicken, both the orange and original flavors. The orange was exceptionally good with a little kick to the sauce. Be sure to grab a few sauces with your order as each one was delicious. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

I've had a lot of fruit bobas in the city and this by far the best one! I get extra boba and fruit boba in my with the best texture that's not too chewy and not too hard. You order on a kiosk so there's not much interaction with the workers. It's a cute small spot with a few seats. I remember a few years ago I tried the popcorn chicken and really liked it but this time only had boba. My friend got a brown sugar boba and didn't like it as much as the peach but would definitely recommend the peach x100!

Hello jasmine has been my favorite for milk tea since they've opened!! I love every drink I've tried here and my favorite recently is the taro coconut delight- the perfect amount of taro flavor with the coconut sweetness. I usually adjust the sweetness level when I order milk tea but with this drink, I don't need to adjust anything and it's perfect. I also love the popcorn chicken which is salt and pepper chicken nuggets. Its flavor is so on point with a hint of basil. My coworkers who've tried this place also love their bento boxes and drinks. The only down side is how the size of their popcorn chicken has decreased yet we're being changed more. They claim it's inflation but the ration just doesn't make sense to me. This place is always busy to be prepared to wait for a little bit especially during peak hours but the service is still decent and Efficient. The restaurant itself has a small area where you can sit and chat with your friends for a quick hangout spot.

Hard to find the original Taiwanese food next to the downtown Chicago. .Uber $8.00 plus tips take you from Downtown Chicago to Hello Jasmine . If you tired eating all The American or Italian foods in downtown area . You should come visit this restaurant when you travel to this beautiful city Chicago . The best thing about this restaurant is very very clean and great customer service , too! Also , the boba milk tea is huge and with bunch of Boba ! Hope you enjoy Taiwanese food in Windy City Chicago !

Yummy lunch bowls and fun tea flavors. I also like that you can get plain teas without the sugar as well. I tried oolong no sugar with pudding, pink guava grape fruit tea, and fried green beans.

Highly recommend Hello Jasmine to cater your wedding or next event!! We first heard about HJ from friends and came to visit with them. My husband and I ended up booking HJ to cater our boba bar. It was a big hit at our wedding reception. Many of our Asian friends and family members were over the moon when they discovered HJ supplied our boba bar. I really appreciated the ability to buy bubble tea in bulk, and they even come in large, ready-serve containers you can pour the bubble tea out of into your cup. They also provided boba straws, cups, spoons (for serving boba toppings) and smaller containers for our boba toppings. HJ was extremely easy to work with - we mainly communicated over email, and they were able to let us know which items were gluten free or vegan for our guests with dietary restrictions so they can choose which items or bubble teas they were comfortable consuming. Our wedding venue was within their delivery radius so we were able to get our order delivered right to us. Their catering menu also includes party trays of popcorn chicken and cold noodles that looked tasty. Definitely considering these options if we plan another large event again and need catering. HJ was one of our favorite vendors to work with. Aside from catering, we often stop by HJ when we're visiting Chinatown. Service is usually quick and friendly. You can order from a screen near the front door once you enter. There is seating available if you want to dine in. HJ's branding is on point. I love all the packaging and even the wall mural depicting iconic features of Taiwan, such as Taipei 101. The food is served similar to street food you might find in Taiwan - fried cuttlefish balls on a stick, sausage on a stick, plastic bento box packaging, and popcorn chicken in a bag with long wooden picks. My Taiwanese parents always think of home when they stop by HJ. The food is authentic and delicious. My favorite things to order here are the popcorn chicken, peach fruit tea, and braised pork rice bento. Love HJ. Will definitely be back!

I love love love Hello Jasmine! In my last 4 visits to Chicago, Hello Jasmine has stood as my favorite boba and cheap Asian grub spot consecutively across those visits. Food & Drinks: - I am such a sucker for their classic milk teas. I have tried the black assam milk tea, jasmine green milk tea, oolong milk tea, and I have been so thoroughly impressed by how great the tea flavor is across all three of them. It is just the right amount of creaminess that you would want in a milk tea, you can taste the brew of the tea leaves, and I love getting my drinks at half ice and 75% sugar. Tapioca consistency is just right, now too chewy, not too soft, and it is just sweet enough to enhance your drinks. - My experimental drink was their Black Sesame Milk Tea and it also blew me away. I would only recommend this if you are more of a savory type of person. This drink is on the thicker side with a lot of texture from the mix of sesame paste but overall - it is surprisingly a great dessert drink. - My bf got the Ube Milk Tea and he said it was the best that he has ever had. The ube flavor is so strong and for a lack of better words, it tasted like "real ube," which he loved. - We also got their Braised Pork over Rice bento box with fried tofu as an app. SUCH AN INSANE VALUE!! Super great portions, a great marinade on the pork belly, it crumbles and melts in your mouth. My only feedback would be that the pieces do contain a lot of fat but it adds to the overall flavor. Everything was very yum! Service: - I love that there is an option to order at the kiosk or order directly with them. If you need time to think, the kiosk offers a bit of a buffer time for you to look through the menu. - The staff is super nice and the wait isn't bad at all even on busy days. Ambiance: - I love how the theme of the restaurant is carried throughout the interior whether it is in wallpaper, packaging, or the general decor/vibe of the place. It offers a great spot to grab a quick grub with friends.

Really good bobas with the right amount of sweetness...great new find for our boba addict family. They even have food here will certainly come back. I had the mango boba with lychee jelly and my daughter had peach boba with lychee and peach jelly. It was less than $15 bucks for both. I will be back soon

Grilled Chicken is the new alternative to fried and drenched in sauce. The $13 for 8-10 wings and drums are my favorite at HJ. I like the smoky flavor and the side dipping sauce it comes with. If you buy this on Thursday, you get a free drink. If you meal is over $30, don't forget to click/ask for the free piece of fried chicken. Parking is limited as it is a shared lot with other vendors. It is a short walk from Chinatown Square. Highly recommend and never a disappoint.

Quality/Quantity - Small cafe, fairly busy. We came here for the drinks because my daughter lost a bet and had to buy, LOL. We got the following: Strawberry Lychee Iced Tea, Roasted Oolong Boba Milk Tea, and Mango Fruit Tea. All was good, nothing special, just good. Food also available, see picture of menus. They come in cute small bento boxes, sorry no pictures. Food options: Bento boxes, street food, fusion, combos, etc. You can also control/request your spicy level when ordering. Catering is also available, see picture. Atmosphere - Small cafe, indoor and outdoor seating. Bar style seating is also available. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8:30pm, 9pm, or 9:30pm; see picture. There is a sign warning of pick pocketers; common in many cities with tourists. Thanks for the friendly reminder. Service - Notes directs us to order via kiosk due to shortage of staff. So self service today. For obvious reasons, our drinks took a long time. Plus they had a huge catering job they were working on at the same time. Price - $21, pretty expensive. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 with your 3 locations.
