Hello Jasmine - Lincoln Square

What a cute establishment in Lincoln Square! The ambiance is welcoming and chill, and the staff is friendly and courteous. I appreciated their food and drink recommendations. The popcorn chicken was crisp, hot, and so savory. And the drinks were delicious and refreshing. We loved the strawberry lychee fruit tea and the strawberry and peach mango smoothies. We will definitely return!

Tried this establishment for a sponsored Yelp event to try their drinks and popcorn chicken. I also decided to get additional items to try. This review is on the spicy chicken nuggets. Surprisingly you can get them in different spices. I decided to get medium spice. My chicken nuggets were very crispy and the seasoning was good. I was disappointed that there was no true sauce to dip my nuggets with. I was pointed to ketchup, hot sauce and soy sauce packets. No bueno, Americans love sauce!!!! Anyway, lucky for me I had just visited Aldi and had a fresh of bbq sauce in my SUV. lol any hoo Overall, I really like my nuggets. I would order these again. Will try the location closer to me when I need some yummy nuggets. Will also bring my own sauce.

Hello Jasmine is one of the better bubble tea places in the city but this is probably my least favorite location. I think that it's the biggest and the nicest but the food and drinks are not as good as their other locations. I ordered the pink guava tea and it was way too sweet I was so disappointed. I also got their pork rice bento box and the rice was cooked so poorly where everything was clumped together :( Maybe they were having an off day this week but it was very disappointing. Aside from that it's a beautiful space and the service is decent. You basically order at a kiosk and then they bring the order out to you! Ample seating and parking is never too difficult in the neighborhood!

This place's menu looked interesting, but unfortunately what I ordered turned out to be one of the worst teas I've ever had. It was the 'Pinky Guava Milk Tea with Aiyu' and purported to be jasmine green milk tea with guava jam.What it tasted like - to the note - was Nesquik strawberry milk.Complete with fake strawberry flavor. No guava in evidence (and that's a distinctive flavor I'm very familiar with). No tea flavor in evidence either.Also, it was super sweet despite me ordering it with 0% sugar.On top of that, the machine I was ordering from prompted me to tip - twice. Who am I tipping? Are we tipping machines now?

First time ordering food and maybe my eighth time ordering Boba from Hello Jasmine. Food:-Sweet Plum Cheese Pull: Absolutely delicious and a large amount of cheese. We split this between two but it's so big you could easily split with three people. The plum taste was awesome. -Chicken steak rice bento: We will be ordering this again for sure. Everything in this bento mixes well with each other and has great taste. Boba:-Considering we've ordered it so many times it is good boba. I wish the cheese foam was made saltier, it tastes a bit bland to me. The tea is usually very good but it is never consistent with how it tastes despite ordering it the same way. Either way, great to have in the neighborhood.

I always stop by this spot when I'm getting off of work and am craving both a sweet and a savory treat. I love the popcorn chicken and the brown sugar boba. The staff is kind and often I forget to listen for my name but they'll bring me my order instead of me having to pick it up from the counter. The ambiance is slightly chatty but definitely lively; good for a solo date or a great place to catch up with a friend.

I've always wanted to try hello jasmine popcorn chicken because I've heard such amazing reviews from friends who have tried it. First of all, the food was delicious. It was perfect for a light share lunch with a friend. Please try the garlic popcorn chicken, you will not be disappointed. I personally think it taste good with ranch on the side but the Korean sauce is also really good. The drink was perfect for us. The peach lychee tea has 30% sweetness and it was perfect amount of sweet for me while my friend had 50% sweet. Both drinks were so good and refreshing. Definitely try them out if you like fruit teas. Lastly, the interior design inside is really cute and cozy. It's a great place to come when you need to get some work done, school stuff, self date, or just chill with friends. The workers will bring out the food to you which I thought was great.

We ordered a bunch of plates to try: popcorn chicken, orange chicken, fried chicken, tofu, spring onion cheese pull, plum cheese pull. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the orange chicken sweet and a little like Panda. We really enjoyed the cheese pulls, onion and plum. It was exactly as advertised-- it was cheesy and stretchy.These probably would have been best in restaurant, although the chicken did stay very crispy. I regret that I did not order a bubble tea -- will do so the next time I'm in the neighborhood. Overall, we enjoyed our samplings and next time will be sure to ask for sauce as well as some beverages.

First time here about a month ago to try the Taro Cloud. But have been coming back since. The service is always great no matter who the staff is and I am glad to know that I could bring my own container. There are 2 kiosk where you can order with a credit card or you can go directly to the counter for cash transaction. They also offer food that look attractive on the picture. I have yet to try. Recently I got a Taro Cloud with pudding. The custard pudding was a bit watered down, hopefully it will be better next time.

I've been to the other locations over the past few years. I was so excited to have a location closer to me. My favorite location is still Lincoln park. This location doesn't have the same full menu. I usually order the pork chop bento but it wasn't available so I got fried chicken bento. The sides were not the same as the other locations. I've never had egg with corn as a side dish. The bok choy was way over cooked. Overall, the bento was a little lacking. Usually there's more sauce over the rice. My husband's pork belly over rice was a little salty for his liking.
