Master Critic Review

Anda Boba Tea & Zensen Sushi 7.9
Elmhurst
A boba-first shop that’s surprisingly structured on the sushi-roll side, with a full roll menu that works best for quick, casual cravings. Think of it as a dual-mission stop: one signature roll plus a drink, not a long sit-down sushi night.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots on Broadway can be tight, especially after 5pm. Plan to circle or walk a block or two.
Dress code: Very casual — everyday streetwear, errands-friendly, no need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate — boba-shop energy with music and counter traffic, but still easy to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes at peak hours; often faster for takeout
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — vegetable rolls, avocado rolls, cucumber rolls, and simple custom options.
Vegan options: Limited — a few veggie rolls work if you avoid sauces with mayo or eel sauce.
Gluten-free options: Limited — sushi rice and fish are gluten-free, but soy sauce and many specialty sauces are not.
Best For
Better for: Quick sushi-roll cravings paired with a drink, budget-friendly orders, and solo or grab-and-go dining.
Skip if: You want traditional sushi pacing, premium fish focus, or a quiet, sit-down omakase-style experience.
