Our craft

The slow way is the only way.

We pride ourselves on real ingredients — loose-leaf tea and brown sugar imported from Taiwan, fresh fruit, and the finest tapioca pearls. The teas are freshly brewed and the bubbles slowly cooked by our own staff every day.

Our Taiwanese grilled chicken steak — exclusively distributed in North America — is coated in a special grilling sauce made from several Chinese herbs for a flavor that's truly ours.

Generally not a fan of boba, but this place was really good, and the food as well.

We come quite often as we're in Lincoln Square at least once a week. Love the drinks, but also enjoy the food. Popcorn chicken is especially good. Need to give the beef noodles a try.

I ordered a Peach Lychee Tea, and it was really tasty! I especially liked the type of jelly they use. The jelly had a great texture and made the drink even better.
