Tsaocaa — Restaurant in Chicago

DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!! Earlier today I finished eating at the new hotpot place next door and as I walked out, I ran into health inspectors who had just finished inspecting this store. I approached them and based off my interaction with them, their store is DISGUSTING in the kitchen. I came home and read reviews to see people have been sick from the consuming their chicken or even drinks, hair is all over the floor (in the dining area!) and their service overall is horrible. Their chicken is not fresh!!!! And they go for cheap inventories that do not guarantee quality. Look for their store's trashcan in the parking lot and you'll find everything they use in there. Absolutely unacceptable and should be closed down. I left a review for here almost a year ago about how staffs were running around barefooted and i that was the last time I ever came here.... but I guess there's more to that..

Edit- I am definitely not reviewing the wrong store. The taller man was the one who pointed at your store. If you have cameras at the front of your store, it should've captured our interaction. I saw your first response where you simply gave the excuse that I was a competitor store trying to take business from you. If you scroll through my profile, I've eaten around this area for a while now and give honestly and simple reviews. Your store just happened to be a double kill for me because I thought my experience from a year ago was poor enough. Nobody wants to see barefooted staffs when they walk into...

Cute spot for delicious Korean shaved ice! If you haven’t had it before, it is like a milky creamy shaved ice instead of the bland American crap that gets soaked in too sweet syrup (don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and place when those are yummy too). We had the tiramisu and strawberry shaved ice. We also ordered the egg waffle but didn’t take a picture. The egg waffle is 100% a must with whatever shaved ice you get - such a good pairing!

Make sure you come with plenty of room left in your stomach! The portions of these are massive and 6 people could easily share one dessert after getting dinner in Chinatown. It does come with red beans if you like them. Most friends that didn’t grow up eating them don’t care for them.

Tiramisu: this was a wow. So delicious, every bite. There was enough toppings for the whole thing.

Strawberry: this was a wow and my favorite between the two we tried. I am a strawberry lover. I could probably use more strawberries than what comes on it, but only because I devoured the strawberries with probably too high of a ratio to the shaved ice...

I’m trying to be impartial, but we were in a hurry.

But the food took almost 45 min to come out, it’s mostly fast food type chicken wings and the place was empty except for another table who just had dessert.

I think the place really is more of a dessert and boba tea place, and we made the mistake of coming here for a quick bite.

The wings tasted good no where as spicy as what we are used to.

The kimchi fried rice was ok, the heaps of shredded cheese is on top I didn’t expect and being lactose intolerant I couldn’t really eat it. What I did have of it was fine.

The leechee drink was delicious though a bit sugary, they do give you the option to change how sweet the drinks are.

Overall I guess place your order ahead and pick up some desserts, food wise there are better places.

Oh the prices are a bit high, a few drinks and rice and wings came out to almost 60 bucks. There are better places to go for...
