Waukegan CM chicken Bobadod — Restaurant in Waukegan

I went there today for the first time. It was bigger than I had expected. The service was great. To drink I ordered 2 taro milk teas with boba. The boba was perfect. Soft and chewy. I've had some at other places that were sometimes hard or rubbery. That was not the case here. We ordered curly fries, a spicy squid bowl, original wings, and honey garlic wings to go. The person taking our order said it would be about 20mins wait, which was pretty accurate. There were quite a few people that ordered before me so the wait time was understandable and not bad. It was packaged and bagged very neatly with utensils and ketchup.

The food was definitely made to order. The curly fries were hot. The original wings were very crispy on the outside and moist inside. The crunch when biting into the chicken is so satisfying. You could tell that it was freshly made. It did not have that heavy/greasy feel like many fried foods do when not fried correctly. It had a really nice flavor. The honey garlic wings were moist inside as well. The sauce used is the perfect mixed of sweet and savory. It was delicious. I see why so many people have recommended it. The spicy calamari was served on rice. The calamari was cooked perfectly as well. Not rubbery. The sauce was slightly sweet with a little heat. It wasn't super spicy but just enough that you could tell there was some heat in it. There isn't anything like this where I live. I'd be a regular customer if I lived here haha

TLDR: Food and Boba milk tea are fresh and delicious. Great service. Recommend honey garlic chicken &...

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. This boba tea shop is, without question, the crown jewel of all things delicious and refreshing. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with the warmest smiles and energy that feels like you’re visiting close friends — the staff are beyond exceptional. Friendly? Yes. Fast? Absolutely. But it’s their genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail that truly blew me away. They remember your name, your order, and even suggest fun new combinations tailored to your tastes. That’s next-level service.

Now let’s talk drinks: PERFECTION IN A CUP. The flavors are vibrant, balanced, and endlessly creative. Whether you’re a classic milk tea lover or chasing exotic fruit blends, every drink is a masterpiece. And the boba? Soft, chewy, perfectly sweet — every single time. You can tell they take real pride in the craft. It’s like each cup was hand-crafted by a team of flavor wizards who actually care about quality.

The shop itself is gorgeous — clean, cozy, and full of good vibes. It’s the kind of place that turns a quick drink run into the best part of your day. Whether you’re studying, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself, this place feels like home with better drinks.

I’ve been to a lot of boba places across cities and states, and none come close to the consistency, care, and charm of this one. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, stop what you’re doing and GO. You won’t just be satisfied — you’ll be obsessed. This isn’t just a tea shop. It’s a...

Had this place saved for a while and finally decided to try it and boy was it disappointing. Ordered the dumpling ramen and the honey chicken. Took 2 bites out of the ramen and it had less flavor then the ramen you get in packets. Very watered down with very minimal veggies. Everyone at the table tried it once but refused to eat the rest of it because it was simply trash for $15. The honey chicken was okay, definitely would have been better if my server actually brought me ranch. Still not worth the $17 for some basic chicken tenders. On top of that they had a birthday party going on and it felt like they were paying much more attention to the birthday party rather then anyone else there. The final straw for us was once they finished playing the birthday song extremely loud for the other group that was there they then proceeded to play the same song about 30 more times on repeat for everyone in there to hear. The lemonade was probably the only good food product we received. Was going to buy some of the Korean chips because I've had them before and I knew they did not disappoint until i was told that the chips are $6 a bag for a tiny little bag that costs $2 at garden fresh. Deff would not go back which sucks because I've seen nothing but positive reviews...
