BellyBowl Kitchen & Boba Bar (Southloop)

I apologize in advance but this review will pertain pretty much towards the bubble tea since my boys wanted to try boba in the city before heading back to Ogilvie station. We live pretty far northeast in Lake Co just a few miles south of the WI border and were coming back from the Shedd Aquarium. Had lunch prior but no dessert and bubble tea mostly comes to mind for our boys. Was browsing Google for highly rated boba joints and ended up choosing Belly Bowl. Understandably it's an actual restaurant that features bubble tea and I felt kinda bad for just coming in for that but just wanted ti treat my boys. Anyways the cozy lil venue is kept clean, service comes both friendly AND automated and boba was really good at fair prices. The food smelled really good so mentioned to my wife that if

Right next to Roosevelt L station. We decided to check this restaurant out since it was by the L train. Staff welcomes you when you walk in. There are two stations where you can order and pay or you can pay cash at the register. Space is pretty small but it was fine. We found seating on a Saturday afternoon. Clean space and food was ready fairly quickly. Food was absolutely delicious and I was very happy with the prices too. Not cheap but not overpriced either. Everything we got was very delicious and warm. Boba was good too!! Will definitely come back! Also bathroom is for customers only and you need to ask for a key.

My boyfriend and I have been coming to this place since we started college, it’s become our go-to spot! The food here is amazing, and the portion sizes for the price are unbeatable. I always end up getting the same thing because it’s just that good. The Crab Rangoon is delicious, and the Spicy Seafood Creamy Udon is, in my opinion, the BEST thing on the menu! I try different drinks every time, but the Mango Smoothie is always a favorite. On my last visit, I tried the new Matcha Mango Smoothie, it was creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. This place is amazing, and my boyfriend and I will definitely continue to be loyal customers!

this place was absolutely packed, probably because it's one of the few places in the loop that's not a total rip-off. The amount of food that you get is substantial, and it's pretty delicious! meat quality was mediocre, and if you come during the busy times, you could be waiting at least 20 minutes. for about $12, it's decently worth it.

Swung by here on our last day in Chicago to get some lunch before hitting the road and we loved it. Hot fresh food! Everything was seasoned to perfection and the spicy Korean noodles my husband had were the perfect spice level he was hoping for. Our milk teas were perfect too, not too sweet like some places make them and we could taste the taro. Great prices for the large portions we got. Guy at the counter was friendly and helpful as well.
