Good Chinese food in an unfortunate location. You could drive by this place easily, located as it is in a strip mall where the largest occupant is a closed retail chain store. But it is worth a stop. The food is very decent to very good and the prices are extremely reasonable. I'm not a Boba fan so I can't speak to that. However, as I said above the food is good. I have had a number of lunch specials, which are filling. Also, the won ton soup is very, very good, and has a little kick. Try to get there before or after the high school students break for lunch as it can get sort of busy. read more

Horrible customer service and I saw a baby roach on the floor. Never coming here again

I can't say anything about the physical location as I've not gone before but since the covid lockdown I've ordered delivery from them twice, mostly for boba drinks (gotta have my fix!). My favorite flavor of tea is rose and they do it SO well, with rose petals in the drink too. I order it with 50% sweetness and the rose flavor is super fragrant. The green rose tea AND the rose milk tea are bomb. I've also ordered the coffee milk tea for my bf and at 25% sweet it was a smooth coffee kick. Their black tea has just a hint of roasty flavor. The lychee smoothie was too sweet. Their boba to drink ratio is solid and the boba itself is super chewy the way I like it! This place will definitely be my go-to for boba! As for food, I've only had their popcorn chicken was was delicious, light and crispy, and the portion size was good. My only complaint was that, in our current times, i have a heightened awareness of how things are packaged, and the paper box the chicken came in was kept wide opem, with only a napkin on top to cover the food from exposure to air. The chicken was overflowing, so I'd recommend getting a bigger box for it that can be closed completely. read more

If you're craving Chinese this is the SPOT! So dank! Honey walnut shrimp and house lo mein are my fav! Not a boba snob so I can't put my 2 cents but I'm in love w. Their rose boba! Portions are pretty good too, if you're going to order though - order for the family. The price is worth it that way read more

I came to pick up my order and had to wait while two other people who ordered after me got their food. He said because they were cooking the food. I ordered walnut shrimp. When it came out the shrimp was room temp but the rice was warm. I started eating the food and it was so rubbery, it was hard to chew and the mayo sauce was thick. They fill up the carton half way with these chips and then put the shrimp on top so it looks like a lot but it's not. The almond boba tea I got tasted like the mix. I ended up throwing away the food by the time I got to the Kmart. Never again. read more

This place is awesome! I love the taro milk tea with boba And the people that work here are really nice and they're adhering to safety standards for covid, which makes me feel safe getting food from them! read more

horrible. I let my drink sit for 10 minutes and this happened. I know for a fact this isn't normal. I spent 6 dollars on this too read more

BobaWok - I let it sit for 10 minutes and this happened - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Decided to try this place out for the first time. I orded from a very unfriendly gentleman some orange chicken and thai iced boba tea. The large empty dining area had a few chairs spaced out along the wall so i sat in the one closest to the door but was asked to wait outside despite being the only one there. I went outside to wait and no other customers came. After some time waiting in the sun i peaked in to see my order just sitting there on the counter. The dude working who forced me to go outside was so incredibly lazy he couldn't bring my order out to me despite having no customers and nothingbetter to do. Food was pretty mediocre and the drink was fine but they really need to fire the guy working if they hope to ever survive. I won't be going back and hopefully they will go out of business like the last place so we can get something better in its place. read more

This place is a gem! If you are looking for a local place with some amazing popcorn chicken and refreshing boba, you've found the perfect spot. My roommates and I discovered this place about two weeks ago and have come at least twice a week since then. Highly recommend! I usually get the green apple smoothie with boba read more

We used to go to Pasadena for popcorn chicken. Good thing we found this place. We don't have to drive that far whenever we crave for it. Also, we like their milk teas compared to other boba stores around Burbank. Good dining space inside. And ample parking area. read more

Not only did I get hit in the face by their giant Chinese bells on their door, the employee had the nerve to tell me it was my fault when I warned him it was dangerous. It wasn't my fault. On top of that their food is expensive and just meh. I'll never go back. read more

Will never go back. I ordered Kump pao chicken and I got stale peanuts, I called back to advise them and prevent from serving someone else bad food, the girl didn't even apologize. I took the food back to them and I was expecting an apology but not even. The worker didn't even make eye contact with me. Very unfriendly service. read more

Short and simple review. Mediocre food. Prices are higher then your typical hole in the wall Chinese spot, but the portions are big, I'd suggest having a small and large entree option. Customer service isn't the best, seems like a family restaurant and the son doesn't wanna be there. Oh and it has a B rating. read more

I almost can't fathom that I'm writing this but there was a mangled staple in my soup from Bobawok that pierced the inside of my cheek as I was eating. I always read the reviews when ordering on Grubhub from a new restaurant, and there was another customer "Shani" from 5/25/20 who claimed to have found staples in their fried rice... I thought given all the other positive reviews that perhaps the individual might be exaggerating, but it happened to me too! Stay FAR away from this restaurant! One order with staples is a horrible horrible mistake, but two times?? I'll let you decide if that's just a coincidence or not... read more

The first time I came here the boba tasted weird but today it was much better! I don't know if it was made fresh today or if they changed their recipe or now make it fresh daily but it was good! read more

What in the world Burbank is definitely not the place to get your boba. I'm not a fan of any of the places. I would rather drive out to SGV and get some quality than the boba I got here. Price is average. Service was pretty bad. The girl seemed like she hated being there. The person that ordered after me asked for any suggestions, and the girl working said no.... ?? I understand if she didn't know what to suggest, but it was in a rude tone. Second, when I got there, there was no one in the store, yet I had to wait maybe 8 min for my drink. I'm not sure why it took so long... my in n out during peak times is ready faster than that read more

This place is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been too. Food was delicious and the employee at the front was really friendly and nice, I believe he told me his name was Rico, idk. Anyway if you want some quick good Chinese food with a good Boba drink, this is the place I'm definitely coming back. read more

This is one of the best cafe/restaurants ever! Their boba tastes great, and their orange chicken is awesome!

when my sister first wanted to come here, i was a bit skeptical, i was wrong tho!! SOOOOOO GOOD THE FOOD IS AWESOME read more

Very nice and prompt delivery! Will be ordering more often. Try the popcorn chicken and Beef with Green peppers.

This is a review for their Boba. I did not order any Chinese food from this restaurant. Came in with my family and ordered 3 different flavors of Boba. The price rang up to $5 each (after tax) which was more expensive or comparable to the chain Boba places that I usually go to - which I found to be a bit on the pricey side. They only had pre-made pitchers of 1 of the flavors we ordered so we had to wait until she mixed individual portions of the other 2 flavors. Watching her scoop up the mixtures of powder and simple syrup, and mix up with hot water, nothing was measured and she was basically eyeballing the amount she was putting in the cups. Sure enough, the almond Boba I ordered was way too sweet and undrinkable. To make things worse, she did not make enough from the individual portions that she mixed to fill the Boba cup, so she topped it off with a different pre-made mixture. It was over 85 degrees in the store, and I was dying of heat while I had to wait over 10 minutes for her to make the 3 Boba teas we ordered. Once we finally got our Boba teas, my kids had to spit out the bobas because they were stale and hard. I ended up taking a couple of sips of mine and tossed the rest. It tasted like pure sugar water. My boys, who would typically suck down anything sweet, couldn't even finish theirs. If this place was cheap, I would understand. But it was the priciest Boba I had and by far the worst tasting. Never again. read more

I walked in and was amazed at how comforting the staff was and how awesome the environment was. I recommend anyone who loves boba to try this spot since it really does hit the spot. I am 100% coming back again. read more

I ordered the Kung Pao Beef lunch special. The beef is properly pounded and served up piping hot but with a few too many green peppers, in my opinion. The hot sour soup was served fresh from the stove and was good. The Taro Milk Tea is very good, but the boba are excellent, just as they should taste - slightly sweet and chewable. I would like to come back and try other dishes and other drinks from their voluminous menu. read more

I've ordered from here many times, portion size is great for the price and the selection of different Thai teas and drinks is really nice. Recently they've updated their aesthetics and it's much easier to break down the menu items and is a bit more modern now. Usually I get the garlic shrimp and some chicken, haven't been let down ever. read more

The food is good, takes about 15-minutes. Fresh from the times we have done an in person order. Brócoli Beef and mixed fried rice have been our go to. We say give it a try. read more

While I don't like posting bad reviews, and rarely do, because one experience can't always mean it's always going to be a bad one and it may have just been unlucky, but unfortunately after giving BobaWok a shot a few times times during quarantine, just to get some variation on take out, it's not the best Chinese food place in Burbank. Frankly, you're better off going to Panda for the cost. While the portions are big, the food quality is sub par. The orange chicken is really hard and the breading is very difficult to bite into. Like rock hard. The rice is bland and just oily (friend rice) and the pork was very chewy and hard, charred, and unfortunately upon purchasing, already smelled off. Like peculiar garbage can smell. I thought my nose was off but turns out stomach issues ended up happening. So beware of freshness of the food! Unfortunately just was a very big fail and a waste of 25$. The one exception that makes this review a two star rather than a one, is their variety of boba drinks. read more

This is not place to get your boba for sure. Food is expensive for a fast Chinese food joint. If you want good quality Chinese food with better prices and without the feel of a fast Chinese food joint, try Frontier or Western Wok. Those 2 options are by far better than Boba Wok. Dude at the front not very friendly and messes up the easy orders. Definitely not coming back to this joint ever again. Food taste is just what you would expect from a fast food joint. Definitely better places in burbank. read more

Extremely bad service. Guy seems he hates everyone. Everything looks dirty. I will not be returning to this place. Also, boba does not taste fresh. read more

HORRIBLE service. From the minute we got there, the manager/owner was SO RUDE speaking to us with an attitude - namely pointing his finger at us and telling he doesn't serve rush orders. If you're looking for fast food or even just food at all, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. It's a mess, it stinks, and it's a complete waste of time. read more

BobaWok is amaaaaaazing! We tried it for the first time last week, and I've been daydreaming about it ever since. We were so happy to find a place not only with a wide variety of boba drinks, but also really delicious food! Our favorites are the pork chow mein and chicken fried rice. All of the boba drinks we have tried have totally hit the spot as well. We will be ordering many more times, I'm sure! Definitely recommend! read more

The first time I came here it was amazing but the 2nd 3rd and 4th time it got worse and worse. Good luck when you come here.

Great food amazing boba especially for classic milk tea and flavored greed tea!

Oh my gosh I love this place!! So glad to have a boba + chinese delivery place. I got the strawberry boba (25% sweetened) and garlic shrimp. My mind is blown by how good everything is! I think I found my new go to take out chinese. Can't wait to try more items here. read more

Terrible service! I stopped by for some lunch. I had only ordered thru uber eats before but I wasn't sure about their options. The guy at the counter was very rude, told me to hurry while I was trying to decide because the kitchen was going on lunch break ... it's a restaurant. Mind you there were no other people waiting. I ordered to go and he didn't even close my container ... awk. read more

Wow so glad I gave this place a try. This is my new go to spot for Chinese food and boba. Taste in drinks and food are consistent and fresh. Some of my favorites are their orange chicken, salt and pepper chicken wings, Mongolian beef, crab Rangoon. As for drinks I love their mango green tea and taro smoothie with boba. read more

I don't drink Boba so no comment there. I love their food .....my favorite dish is the orange chicken. It is tangy and flavorful. One thing I love about this place is whatever cable channel they're running it shows old school kung fu / karate movies. read more

Would recommend the chow mein. The owner is super nice and everyone is very welcoming

Food is mediocre but these guys know nothing about customer satisfaction. Everything is "no, no no" or "sorry I can't do that". I ask for a lunch special with noodles instead of rice and he says nope. Then I offer to pay extra and he still says no. I ask why? Do you know what his response was??? "Because kung pao chicken won't taste right with noodles!!!" Who the hell are you, young adult, telling me what goes well with my meal!!? I've been eating Chinese Food since before you were born. Miserable people treating customers like garbage. Won't last long! read more

Delicious Chinese Food! Most of the Asian food in Burbank isn't that great but the food at BobaWok is pretty good. Highly recommend the Mongolian beef and orange chicken. My toddler loved the sizzling rice soup. read more

The four stars for the tasty popcorn chicken! Did some takeout today and also ordered some chicken chow fun, orange chicken, kung pao shrimp, and mapo tofu. All were great. The orange chicken was seemed a bit overcooked. Otherwise it was good. read more
