SMILE KOREAN BOBA | NAPERVILLE

Wonderful, vibrant, and chill atmosphere. Great interior design. Wide and appetizing menu options. The Korean corn dog with cheese filling and sugar coating is delicious. Bubble tea is great, with soft and chewy pearls. Staff is extremely friendly, kind, and accommodating! Also very quick service!

When I say I just can’t get enough of this place I mean it! Whether I’m coming for a taro and matcha tea (Monster) or a Korean corn dog I am NEVER disappointed. My go to is the original Korean corndog with all sausage, snow cheese topping and the sweet mayo! They’re shareable options are amazing as well, my go to is the crab Rangoons. When I feel like splurging though I’m always getting the dumplings! Such a good atmosphere especially if on a work break, quiet but not quiet enough to make you uncomfortable. The service is always phenomenal, I never come in and don’t see a smile on the workers face! Come in and try this place out I promise it will not disappoint!

My daughter wanted to try this place. It was a delightful experience, The people were friendly and explained the menu options to me.

The drinks were great, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. We each got a Korean corn dog. My daughter got spring rolls, and we shared vegetable dumplings. My daughter let me try a spring roll. All the food was awesome, but the spring rolls were our favorite.

There is no sign, and initially, we drove past the place. It is facing 104th, next to State Farm. It's a gem, nice people, a lovely atmosphere and amazing food.

I’ve finally had the chance of stopping by Smile Korean K-Dog Boba. They have two other locations called Smile Korean Chicken in Wood Dale and Chicago. They close at 9 pm now and are located right next door to State Farm insurance (there’s no sign at the moment so it may be difficult to find at night). Spacious parking lot. When you walk inside they have many spots for Instagram worthy pictures as well as places to sit. This is a great place to hang out with plenty of various drinks to choose from as well as snacks. Prices are moderate so nothing to break the bank. Service is terrific, they make you feel like family and they like to get to know their customers.

I ordered a monster drink
- matcha with taro. It was very delicious and something I would order again. I also ordered Cheetos k-dog and shaking tots. Cheetos k-dog has a hot cheetos breading. I did the half mozza half sausage with snow cheese seasoning and Seoul spicy sauce. How did it taste? Unquestionably one of the better k-dogs you’ll find in the burbs as well as Chicago area. Breading with the seasoning/sauce doesn’t fall apart easily like other boba places I’ve been to. The Seoul spicy sauce gives it a nice little kick. I also like how I can taste the flavor throughout the dog and not just the beginning. The shaking tots are tator tots with snow cheese and sweet chili sauce. Just the right amount of flavor, once you take that first bite you’ll want to finish the rest. I highly recommend this place. Support your local small businesses.

Visited this wonderful spot on 7/27/23
Came in about 30 minutes before closing and I just want to say WOW! Met the owner and we had a great conversation with her about her business. She made us feel so welcome and we will definitely be back to support them. This business is women owned and just opened a few weeks ago. I had the potato coated half sausage half mozzarella K-dog with snow cheese seasoning and sweet chili on the side because I myself enjoy dipping it in the sauce, it was DELICIOUS! My husband had the original coated half sausage half mozzarella K-dog with snow cheese seasoning and sweet chili on it. He really enjoyed that one also!
My daughter surprised us with her selection of the original coated mozzarella K-dog with sugar seasoning and ketchup on it, it sounds different but she says it is actually very very good. My youngest daughter had fries that the owner actually improvised to make for her because at the moment she didn’t have the tater tots. My daughter really enjoyed them and we actually got some of the cheese snow seasoning on half which was a nice treat.
We also tried the Taro milk tea with tapioca and a passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. Wow! They were so refreshing and delicious! We really enjoyed them☺️
We will MOST DEFINITELY be back to mix up the different K-dog options. We cannot wait! The owner told us to keep an eye out for new additions down the road to their menu. We can’t wait. Definitely recommend them to everyone! 10/10
