" I recently discovered this hidden gem in Naperville. The menu is diverse with many Korean specialties, and the kimbap tasted authentic, almost better than what I had in Korea! The staff was friendly and helpful, providing recommendations when asked. The only downside was the wait time, as everything is made fresh. But that’s what you expect from a place committed to quality. Can't wait to return and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was a mixed bag. While the staff were helpful and welcoming, I found the food to be just average. The kimbap was okay, but the bubble tea had a strange aftertaste which I couldn't pinpoint. On a positive note, the café’s decor is lovely, and just sitting there is a pleasure. I’ll think about heading back to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's been a while since I visited a café with such a cozy atmosphere! Their egg sandwiches were light and fluffy but lacked seasoning. The bubble tea was alright, not the best but drinkable. The friendly staff made up for my slight disappointment, so I'm inclined to drop by again and try something else on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to the café based on a recommendation and was pleasantly surprised! The interior is lovely, and the staff were engaging. The kimbap was amazing but the bubble tea did not meet my expectations; it was too sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, I will return since the food blew me away. Great spot if you love authentic Korean snacks! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent boba drinker, I was excited to try this place but was slightly let down. The ambiance is charming, and the staff is friendly, but the drinks lacked depth of flavor. I tried the taro milk tea and it was watered down; however, the egg sandwiches were amazing! I’ll probably return but stick to food only next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally stopped by Smile Korean Boba and Snack Bar after hearing lots of buzz. The ambiance was fantastic, very photogenic! The food was great; the kalbi kimbap was spot-on with taste and freshness! But I was disappointed in my drink selection—my taro tea didn't have a strong flavor. I’d recommend focusing on food when coming here. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my new favorite hangout spot! The kimbap is to die for—so fresh and tasty! I highly recommend the spicy version if you’re looking for a kick. The staff were all very kind, helping us pick out the best dishes. The only drawback was the bubble tea; it was okay, but I’ve had better. Overall, an enjoyable experience! " (*Curated Review*)
