Kurimu wicker park — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

I have been coming here for years and have probably been here over 20 times. Every time the staff is not courteous and I’m not sure why. Usually I just disregard because I love the ice cream but today was legitimately ridiculous. I ordered the soft serve after asking the staff about it and it was terrible. I told the staff and asked if I could get something different (this is the first time I have ever done this after frequenting Kurimu for 3+ years) and one of the employees says “yeah if you pay for it”. Ok fine. The other employee proceeds to reach out to the owner and tells me I can get something of equal value - which is of course fine. However, she then tells me a second scoop of ice cream is too much and the attitude they had was completely unwarranted. I’m asking for a new ice cream, not a new steak! Their attitude towards customers is completely abysmal and is in desperate need of evaluation. There is no need to be rude and the employees could likely stand to be kinder to patrons (especially frequent customers). For over $21 for two ice creams I think it is reasonable to...

I have the BEST time exploring hidden spots while walking around in Chicago. This was such a little surprise that I COULD NOT RESIST

They had all my favorite flavors 🤤🤤🤤: black sesame durian Thai green tea matcha lychee pearl mango purple yam sweet corn

After moving from Hong Kong to Chicago and having traveled to Japan & Thailand maybe 10+ times (they were 5 hours away from HK), I always crave unique Asian flavors 🌸 everywhere I go in Chicago

This was SUCH a great spot ! The flavors were super rich & creamy, not too sweet

Matcha + boba was awesome Pineapple swirl soft serve was Soo tart and tasty

I love how you can add boba and mochi + try their Kurimu Silver swirl or messy boba options with cone or cup.

Knowing myself, I had to get a cup, otherwise we would drop it everywhere 😂

They also have a lot of cool partnerships like recently with Bang Bang Pie or Snoopy as shown

I wish we knew of this place sooner. Last year, they had a Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang theme. The ice cream flavors are unique and not your ordinary flavors like purple yam, black sesame, and Ramune. My kid and I both got the Miffy cone. It's basically one scoop of ice cream in a light waffle cone. It's decorated with thin candy dots for eyes and an x for her nose. Two sugar cookie wafer ears completes the look. I had a scoop of ramune for my Miffy cone, and my kid wanted it to look more like Miffy, so she stayed with vanilla. My hubby had 2 scoops in a cup, one of the purple yam and the other blueberry cheesecake. My hubby said the blueberry cheesecake has a strong blueberry flavor, which is a nice change for us. We have had a few from other places with only a mild blueberry flavor. If you like unique flavors, give this place a try. Staff is friendly and if you can't decide they will give you some wonderful...
