OMG - this is a wonderful place. A small eat-in area, I always bring mine home. Generaous size, the inflation has hit rice too. My dish is prepared to the eccentric way I want. A Happy Buddha always means good food. read more

Tasty food freshly made not too spicy, prices are a bit high and the meals should have more variety for sides. Service was good not too long of a wait time. The place is small not many places to sit and the tables were dirty. Also I think the worker got confused I ordered a kung pao plate and she brought me the kung pao bowl. read more

Delicious place they need more help they get very busy because their boba drinks and their food is great and very tasty

Good value, food is tasteful, portions are generous. Orange chicken and chow mein have good flavor. The rice bowls are excellent value.

Food is always amazing. Cute little shop with great customer service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! read more

Boba House - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Maria, California

The best boba in town always perfectly chewy, sweet, and the owner is always really welcoming and kind.

I have heard rumors about how tasty the food was at Boba House. I thought it was just Boba. Wrong. "Don't forget to order a chicken bowl," they said. Really?I ok. So I did, only I didn't order a bowl. I ordered a FEAST: Broccoli Chicken. Beef Lo Mein. Shrimp Kung Pao. Mongolian Beef. All A LA CARTE SIZE with steamed rice on the side. These are VERY nice portions. HUGE portions ok. I love it. The smell was intoxicating. I waited 12-15 minutes. No problem. When it comes to food, you want to wait a bit - not too fast or it's suspect, - not too slow or you think twice about going back. The food is delicious. I measure every Chinese Food restaurant with my favorite dish: MONGOLIAN BEEF. This place is good, really good. The MG is SPICY! Just the way I like it though it's usually just sweet elsewhere. So why not 5 stars? Hmmm. Two small reasons. This place is small so you can't bring a big group here. It's meant more for to-go than to eat your feast there. AND...I don't like styrofoam. Call me crazy, but it matters, at least to me. So now I know what BH is all about. Do you??? read more

Went For a Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl. Tole them no veggies , just a little more sauce. I was never told the little more sauce (while letting them keep their veggies) was more $. I was charged $1 for a couple tablespoons of extra sauce. I've never been charged extra at other places for the same bowl. The bowl itself was not great either. Very bland. I'll keep looking. read more

The food was mediocre for the price. For 3 people it cost almost $100 and we got only a couple dishes. The fried rice was bland and the orange chicken was just okay. The lady working the counter was really nice though and the place was very clean. Not too bad overall, I'd give it another try. read more

This place is so awesome. I love the food and the kung pao chicken bowl is to die for. I walked today and literally my food was ready in 5 minutes. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The lady is so nice and sweet. I highly recommend this place. read more

I frequent this place every week like an addiction to boba, hence the name of this place. The owner knows all her customers well and it is always a delight visiting this place! My recommendations are: Beef Broccoli A La carte, King Pao Chicken Rice Bowl, Mongolian Beef Ala Carte. I call in my orders and always ask if the food is spicy, they can make it less spicy or no spice at all. Favorite drink is Iced Cappuccino! The food is affordable and pairing it with boba drinks is just the cherry on top! Highly recommend! read more

The food here was pretty good, we ordered Kung Pao bowl with fried rice, it was spicy enough for my taste, the chicken was tender, then had orange chicken bowl, usually we've had the chicken coated with flour and deep fried but this wasn't, so it was a little different but tasty. And we ordered fried shrimp, this was real good with their shrimp sweet sauce which was real good, next time I'll ask for 2 containers of this sauce. Customer service is good, they came out right away to greet, next time I'll order their lo mein. read more

I've never been disappointed here! Even the customer service exceeds my expectations. They are genuinely nice. On my visit 02/27/2022 I placed an order to-go, was told it would be ready in 15 minutes so I went outside to wait in my car and put the timer on my phone. I was going to go back in, but at about 10 minutes the owner brought my order out to my car. That was so nice of her and I totally didn't expect it. I also like that they just give you the food in their supplier boxes instead of bags, you can use it as a tray while eating in the car and it feels less wasteful because they're repurposing what they already have from their supply orders. The menu is clear and straight-forward. They have bowl and plate options for the same dishes. The food is tasty, and I do prefer this place over other local asian food take-out restaurants. I believe it is a family-run business as I never really see employees aside from the owners, so please support and be kind :). read more

Usually service and food are very good. This trip was horrible. Not sure if it's Covid and they are just over whelmed or what but they are a hot mess. Called in order. They said 40 min. I said never mind can't wait. She said oh no your order is small so 20 min. I said are you sure??? Still waiting and been over an hour I went back in to check and they hadn't even started on it. Ridiculous!!!! Just so busy so worried they are going to miss out on the money. Probably won't be back for a while read more

Boba House - Orange Chicken rice bowl. *I had already eaten a bit before I took this photo.* - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Maria, California

We stopped by here after a long trip from Palm Springs. The food is decent and the vegetable beef was actually very good. I also ordered their House Noodle Soup but there's a bit of spiciness which my daughter didn't like and ended up not liking it. So we ate it instead. They also offer smoothies and Boba drinks. It was good. Overall it was a good food. read more

Great favorable dishes at reasonable prices. Best to call and take out. Orange chicken and Mongolian beef bowls are the best.

Kung Pao Chicken is always my go to! Hands down the best crispy chicken potstickers. They are always super friendly with great customer service! They have daily deals. read more

I've had many usual Chinese food restaurants and take out here Santa Maria since moving here from Los Angeles 4 years ago. I keep coming back to Boba House because they are best. Your order is made fresh and the most delicious Their individual items have taste flavor of their own. Meaning all your choices don't all taste same Im hooked on Boba for my Chinese food. read more

Food and Service are great! Ordered Orange Chicken plate and the chicken is fresh and NOT frozen Chicken Nuggets like other places. The Beef and Broccoli is delicious and fresh veggies. Ordered Boba drinks and they're tasty. Food is Ready on Time given to pick up. Definitely " Supporting " local Family owned restaurant... read more

Wonderful staff and very sweet. However, my drink wasn't blended and only came with a few boba! I used to love their boba a few years ago because it had plenty boba and the drink itself was tasty, a bit sad to see it's changed! read more

This place is so nasty. Save your money! This is what it looks like. I ask for my money back and they refused she told me keep shaking it. read more

Boba House - Mango with Boba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Orange chicken always good, the bowls are good portion. Kid loves the boba drinks, flavor choices...

Since I just had coffee, I decided to skip the shop's namesake item, and just grab one of their $3.99 rice bowls. They've got all the typical Chinese fast food meat n rice dishes like broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, etc. I went for the orange chicken which was dark meat pieces of fried chicken in a light sauce, a couple pieces of broccoli and some carrot over short grain white rice. Next time I'll ask for it spicy cuz it's pretty plain. It's still very good though, not overly salty or drenched in sticky sauce. Plus it seems that the place is very clean and the owners/chefs? Take a lot of pride in their food. As you can see in the pic, it's not just plopped into the bowl, but carefully placed for the diners enjoyment. You'll see me here again! read more

Boba House - Orange chicken rice bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Not very many vegetarian options and the ones they do have are not flavorful. When I asked what was vegetarian on the menu, they just stared at me. I ended up ordering the vegetable fried rice and a Thai tea with boba. Not the best I've had and it seems overpriced for what you get. Also, they only have one bathroom and as you can see from the picture, you have to use rough paper towels as toilet paper. Not a fan of this place. read more

Not good costumer service is trash the food is expesive and not worth it don't come to this establishment

The best boba in Santa Maria, which does not say much at all but it is a great place to go nonetheless. The people here are very friendly, and service is good, wait time is excellent. I'm going to breakdown the review by boba and food. The boba drinks are solid, delicious and like I said the best you will find in Santa Maria. I am a fan of Taro but I wish there was more variety of drinks here. If you're local you won't be disappointed. If you're used to LA or Bay Area type boba places, you might need to relax and accept the limitations of the area. Boba House isn't a bad option at all with all this in mind. Food is hit or miss depending on what you like to eat. Pot Stickers are excellent here, I almost always order them. Rice Bowls are an affordable option but don't expect too much here, go with the a la carte options if you want to actually eat a full meal. read more

Travelling to San Francisco from San Diego isn't such a breeze when hunger strikes! As I was driving down Highway 101 and exited Stowell Rd. hoping I would enter a nearby McDonald's, I missed it. Ok, so I went to Trader's Joe to take my much needed break. After taking that break, I went around to look for Chinese style food that is good and won't break the bank. Looked around and found this place, The Boba House. Place is small, but food volume isn't. I ordered me a Kung Pao chicken rice bowl. What do ya know it, it tastes just like your typical $10 plus Chinese Restaurant! Food is wok prepared! Can't get that with most Chinese take out restaurants! I ate up, feel satisfied and went back on the road. I also got me a Capuccino smoothie as a dessert for the road! Will come back again if I'm here in town! read more
