Reviews
The biggest issue I had was the wait time. Even though the place wasn’t busy at all, my order took a long time to come out, and I was sitting there pretty hungry. The food, when it arrived, was actually quite good—hence the 4 stars on that front—but the delay just made it less enjoyable.
Price-wise, I felt it was a bit steep. I paid around $18 for a chicken sandwich with fries and a water bottle, and honestly, I think something in the $15-16 range would have been more reasonable.
A couple of minor gripes: I would have preferred ketchup dispensers instead of packets, and it would have been nice to have a free water cup option instead of having to buy a $2 water bottle. The atmosphere was really great, though, so if they can work on the timing and maybe the pricing a bit, it could be a top spot.
The food? Honestly, really solid. The sandwich had great flavor and a nice kick without turning my mouth into a fire drill. That said, I do remember the chicken being bigger the last time I went to their Lombard location. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, or maybe the chicken hit the gym and leaned out. Either way, my stomach noticed.
The beef-loaded fries were the real MVP—savory, cheesy, messy in the best possible way. Definitely recommend eating them with a fork unless you’re cool with wearing your lunch.
Now the bubble tea? Chef’s kiss. I got mango and strawberry and both were refreshing, flavorful, and hit the perfect boba-to-liquid ratio. Could’ve easily had a second one, but I respect my pancreas too much.
Overall, great experience. Friendly staff, tasty food, and a chill spot to hang. Just hoping next time my chicken sandwich comes with a little more chicken and a little less déjà vu.
Would I come back? Yep. Will I pre-game with snacks just in case? Possibly.
This is the first time I’ve ever had an issue like this at Chi Tea, which makes it even more surprising. I normally expect fresh, good-quality food from them, but this visit was honestly a letdown. I hope they pay more attention to the quality of their ingredients and preparation because this was not it.
Here is everything I ordered and my thoughts on everything:
• Brown Sugar Milk Tea over ice
0/10, dumped it down the garbage disposal. It is both too sweet and unfavorably salty at the same time.
• Horchata over ice
6/10, it tasted fine, very Christmas-time flavored. But it was syrupy, so you know it’s not actual fresh “horchata”, but given this isn’t a Mexican restaurant, that’s fair I guess.
• Mango-pineapple blended drink
2/10, it tasted like what you would expect from a powder (as in, not made using fresh or frozen fruit). Note: I was not aware that the drinks from CHI TEA were made using powders and ahead of time, so it was a very unpleasant surprise lol
The Big Bird Slider – Spicy
4/10 this is my biggest beef with this location of CHI TEA. Just look at the photo comparison between the website and what they give you (banana for scale). What a disgusting bait and switch. As far as the taste, it was good, the slaw was tasty. The “spicy” flavor was mostly from a spice powder
Chicken Loaded Fries
8/10, this was delicious, and we ate the entire thing! The chicken was well-seasoned and juicy, and the portion was generous. The chicken was a bit salty, but the slaw was delicious, and the fries were well-cooked.
Overall, I’m disappointed and I don’t see myself going back unless it’s for the loaded fries or the quality of the drinks goes up.
Edit: Also, all but one review for this restaurant were posted a day before the restaurant had its grand opening…I’m inclined to believe these are friends and family of the owners and not indicative of true, unbiased ratings
Ordered 2 bobas, 4 big birds and 1 big bird slider, fries and banana pudding! All came out fairly quickly. Sandwiches were a bit messy but flavor was great!
Happy to have this close by!
