Bobee 5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This place is located near JJ Bakery. If you come here, please note that food does take a long time. the staff is friendly and accomidating if you do wait. they have won awards for there beef noodle soup. but when i came here i ordered the dry beef noodle soup with all meat (im not a big fan of tripe) and the popcorn chicken. Dry Beef Noodle Soup - think a more condensed version of beef noodle soup. I do like the sister store mimi better due to their special hand cut noodles. But the flavor is here and the meat is tender 3.5/5 popcorn chicken - Its always crispy and moise. The breading is whats best. The sides on the rice are just decent. The meat sauce on the rice is awesome. Service is good, but they cannot handle a dinner rush. Its good to come after the rush or before I wasnt really impressed with any of the drinks they had. Very little flavor read more

Service sucks......I ordered a green tea, all I can taste was tap water. However, the tragedy was not the horrible taste, there was a bug in my drink. I told my server, who wasn't showing any concerned, didn't even apologize. Terrible!!!!!!! read more

Came here for take out for lunch, got Combo D with the Steamed Garlic Chicken with Rice which came with Napa Salad and a drink under $3.50. The Steamed Garlic Chicken tasted a bit strange and the texture itself wasn't very tasty. The Napa Salad itself I barely ate since it just didn't taste that great. It's pretty much napa with peanuts and a watery/salty sauce. For my drink, I got the Chrysanthemum Tea which I sadly regretted. The Chrysanthemum Tea tasted like it came from sewage water, yes, it was pretty bad. Overall, I really wanted to like this place since I usually enjoy Taiwanese food, but the food and drink here just didn't even hit par for me. read more

Wife told me to try it. So I did. It's way past the lunch hour so based on the picture on yelp, I ordered Bobee Fried Pork Chop rice. Service is fine. Food is not fine. Pork chop is not crunchy. It's salty and full of bones. I came in hungry so I was annoyed. The side dish was some kinda tofu with bean and they were really dry. The only good thing on my plate was the rice with that minced meat on top, and it's the only thing I finished. Server offered me Orange Yogurt Green Tea, which's on special BOGO. It was not on the regular menu. So I asked how much. She said $5. Hm, that's clearly not a promotion. I should have just asked for water but I opted to get a regular tea in that plastic cup for $2.50, which tasted just like tea. I walked out the store still hungry. I got suckered by Yelp pictures. Total cost and time wasted: $10 and 30 mins. I must have done something wrong to wife. I will ask her why she told me to try this place. read more

Had fried chicken noodle soup, soup was salty, fried chicken was over done it, very dry and no flavor. My husband ordered pork in red grain sauce rice and pork meatball soup, pork in red grain was okay, meatball soup was very salty (again). We asked for 2 cups of hot water to dilute. Black tea tasted sour and no tea flavor. A very disappointed lunch. :( read more

Yup, there are good , tasty taiwan traditional food here, n I go there 2-3days a week, coz I come to LA and find this shop is cook food from their heart. But we have go sometimes, the waitress are not nice n rough , that make me and my friend not satisfies of the service of them!!!!! Hope someone can concern that and improve seriously! read more

Yelp review was not as high as I liked, but I really wanted to try their beef noodle. I ordered half tendon half beef noodle with wide flat noodle. It wasn't something that I would run around and scream for joy about, but it was good!! This is what I expect from Taiwanese beef noodle... Right at the heart! Soup reminded me of those cup noodle that I get in Taiwan, and I mean it as a compliment. Noodle was cooked well not soggy. Just right. My daughter (3yr) ate almost all my noodle so I asked if I can just order noodle. It was only .75 cents, and my daughter proceeded to finish most of that too. Beef and tendon were melt in your mouth soft. I also ordered seaweed small dish, which was garlicky and little spicy. (Yummy for me, not so for my daughter). Stir fried veggie and fish ball soup. Fish ball was good too. My next table ordered popcorn chicken, that looked really good. I gonna order that next time. Store manager was really nice to my daughter and gave her a little gift as we were leaving. I call that a good service. :) read more

I had the Mimi 5 Bobee in Rancho and I loved it. But this location was kinda disappointing. I had almost the worst popcorn chicken I ever had, and Dan Dan noodle was so soggy I thought it was a noodle soup. And the ones black tea was nothing I would expect from a Taiwanese restaurant. read more

This place has great Taiwanese food. I have yet to be disappointed. Some of my favorite dishes are the minced pork with rice, and the spicy chicken with rice. I also love their sides, especially the sour cabbage and garlic vinegar. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is the store is a little small and sometimes the wait is long because of the lack of space. Other than that definitely one of my favorite Taiwanese joints! read more

Bad service and despotic clauses. I ordered lunch combo B and added an extra sauce. When I required check, a waiter announced they had a policy that only bills over $15 can use cards to pay, otherwise I had to pay with cash. I told him nobody told me you have such policy, and I didn't bring any cash. He replied with an impatient attitude that they posted the policy by the check machine (which is in a dark corner). He'd "help" me to pay with card this time but I should watch out myself next time, as if I did something wrong and he was doing me a fever. read more

I really wanted to love Bobee 5, but I thought the food was only so-so and I'm chalking it up to order the wrong things. First, I'm pretty sure that the milk tea was 99% milk. I thought right away that it looked really white and sure enough, it tasted like sweet milk with barely any hint of tea. I ordered the garlic chicken, which for some reason I thought was fried, but it ended up being a cold chicken roulade. I really don't like cold meat (especially chicken skin! Blargh!), but I had a couple of pieces. It was okay, very garlicky and kind of bland, but better with vinegar and soy sauce. My mom ordered the Bobee pork chop which was pretty good, but there's another pork chop that looks even more amazing. It's a huge, crispy thing - I'm guessing it's the regular pork chop, not the Bobee one? On the plus side, the beef noodle soup was really good and the minced meat rice was one of the best I've ever had. I would definitely be open to giving Bobee another try. Be warned however, that everyone around you will be ordering stinky tofu. And they call it stinky tofu for a reason. read more

Absolutely hands-down the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup (~$7) I've had in my life. Even my boyfriend, who keeps insisting that there's nothing in America that can compare to the traditional dish served in Taiwan, was quite impressed. They give you a choice of thick or thin noodles, or even no noodles at all. We both chose thick noodles, and my were they tasty! The texture was just right--not too dough-ey. As for meat you can choose beef, beef tendon, both, or none! The soup itself is extremely rich but not too oily! The cabbage in the noodle soup added a nice touch since they absorb quite a bit of flavor while sitting in the noodle soup. Overall, I must say, this was DELICIOUS. And we will definitely be back. read more

Tiny place with only a few tables inside. huge menu of noodles, rice, snacks, drinks, etc. got the cold beef noodles (choice of beef, tendons, or both). it was simple and comforting. stinky tofu was not as stinky as I hoped for. biting into it was no different than regular fried tofu. spicy pickled cabbage on the side was good. popcorn chicken was plump and crispy. you can make it as spicy as you want or not spicy at all. read more

So my friend took me here on our way to a skidazzel convention and so we quickly dropped by her hometown of rowland heights. She took me here because it was Taiwanese and it had a nostalgic feelign of when we were on our travels in Taiwan :) My friend and the waitress were speaking in Mandarin and yup, I was warped back to that wonderful country. So.. what they are known for.. well... FRIED PORK CHOP.. yea yuh! I'm not a big fan of pork because it's like duck, they have this really animal flavor to it. You know, pork tastes porky. But anywhoo... I got Combo C. That includes a napa salad (like a small Asian cole slaw), your entree (which you can either choose fried pork chop, popcorn chicken, and some other thing) with rice or noodles (I got rice and it had a pork sauce on top which was really porky.. a lot of people will like this BTW but it wasn't to my liking... LIKE I SAID, I'm not a big porky person, and it came with either green or black tea :)))) YUM! So let me simplify.. I got the fried pork chop with rice and iced jasmine green tea. SO DELISH!!!! I really liked it. Not only does the entree include the rice with pork sauce and fried pork chop, it also came with some tofu side, cooked bok choy, and half a tea and soy sauce infused egg. Yummmmerz! My friend got the popcorn chicken which reminded me of those chicken from boba places. Yum. And they give you extra chile seasoning on the side for your taste :) I would go here again because I really liked this place :) It was soo goood :) I have definitely become a fan for sure :) read more

Bobee 5 - Fried pork chop combo c - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Pretty good new Taiwanese restaurant in Rowland Heights. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup is great! It has even won an award! They have a big-o trophy sitting by the cashiers! The food is pretty good and fresh but the service can use some work. I will say that the food is very authentic. They have lunch and dinner set menus that are pretty good value. I will definitely recommend checking it out. read more

They serve pretty good Taiwanese food and drinks here. Probably like top 5 around the area, and its also very affordable. What more can you ask for? This place is kind of small, so it can be crowded very quickly during lunch and dinner time. Service is pretty good for Taiwanese/Chinese restaurants standard, and the server is very friendly. They also have different buy 1 and get 1 free drinks daily. Plenty of parking, which I like. This is definitely a good place to eat from time to time. read more

Service was helpful and fantastic, quality of food, appetizers and drink where fantastic, defiantly recommend the beef noodle soup for the broth is cooked to perfection as well as beef, hand made noodle is also in good quality. read more

Bobee 5 - Beef noodle soup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Tried Bobee twice and I don't think there will be a third. Both times I placed a phone order for pick-up. The first time, when I went to pick up at the counter, the cashier/waiter insisted that the order sitting on the counter behind him was not mine, so I waited. 10-15 minutes later, the same order is sitting on the counter, unclaimed, so I asked again: "Nope, not yours." "Are you sure?" "Yes!" 5 minutes later his colleague walked by asking him why he didn't give me my order. "Sorry, he's new." Second time they simply forgot to put our phone order in, so I had to wait...and wait...and wait. It was hot. While the food was decent (hence the not 1-star rating), the service is nothing to write home about. Choose your own adventure. read more

My family came here quite often when they first opened, and the food quality just kept dropping after each visit, this store is owned by the same owner of Mimi's House in DB, I go to Mimi's House quite often so I'm very familiar with their foods..and I think they probably only have 1 real chef....so food is only good when the chef is at this location of if the owner is in the store.... apparently they weren't well prepared enough to handle business for more than 1 location. After a few visits and left with disappointments..we stopped coming by this restaurant...maybe the owner has fixed their food quality or not..I don't know..but I'm never coming back again! read more

Ate here long time ago and yesterday tried it again. Gotta say that it's a lot better than the last time I've been here. Their price is fantastic. I would probably eat here everyday if it's near to my workplace read more

Food taste pretty good here, love to come back and try other items on the menu. There are so many choices.

Very good dried noodle. One of the best I had around the area. I frequent this place when I am craving for Taiwanese Dried Noodles. If I were to be picky, Id say their portion is slightly small. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a restaurant to eat at. Located in a plaza near Pizza Hut, Big Lots, and J.J. Bakery on Nogales and Colima. FRIED PORK CHOP ($4.75) - very crispy - quite flavorful and tender - great appetizer; would recommend TAIWANESE SAUSAGE ($4.75) - a bit different from the store-bought Chinese sausage - this one had tendon or fat bits (big difference, I know) infused in the sausage - nothing too special but it keeps your hunger level down. BEEF STEW NOODLES ($6.99) - half beef and tendon - decent - nothing too memorable but it was filling - there was a good proportion of meat and tendon and noodles KUMQUAT MANGO GREEN TEA WITH ALOE ($5) - part of a promotional BOGOF deal with 2 other drinks - a bit on the sweet side but very refreshing - could actually taste the kumquat and mango - luckily it's part of the BOGO otherwise I probably wouldn't even order it for $5. SERVICE: surprisingly attentive. Our server came by and asked how we were doing and also cleared our plates accordingly. The place is also kept quite clean. ENVIRONMENT: The restaurant itself is pretty small. Has a big screen TV and has a homey yet food court feeling. Pretty much everyone speaks Chinese but I'm sure they know some English as well. Overall decent place to grab food. The food isn't the best but it'll have to suffice. The portions are filling, and the price is decent. Bobee 5 wouldn't be the first place I would think of to eat at. If I do come back again I'm more likely to get the Fried Pork Chop but then who doesn't love some deep-fried grease. read more

The few food items they have are mostly pretty good (even sometimes almost authentic), but the service is not the best. When they first opened I went to try the beef noodle soup & it was good! We asked for 酸菜 (Taiwanese pickled sour mustard green relish) and they gave us plenty, so we felt right at home. This time around the beef noodle soup tasted average good but my main gripe is that they were super stingy with the Taiwanese sour pickled relish and we had to ask them about 6 times for more. Deep fried stinky tofu- the accompanying sauce is not so good but at least it was served with plenty of Taiwanese pickled cabbage. Upside- I love that they have 肉圓 (Taiwanese meatball-stuffed chewy dumpling) that reminds me of my hometown. read more

Taste pretty good. Portion is on the smaller side. Service is good. Parking is good. Environment is average, tables are too close to each other. I like it. read more

Came here on a Tuesday for Lunch. Food: We ordered the oil chicken leg rice and the bobee chicken. Both dishes were quite good but the bobee chicken was more tasteful. They came with side dishes of vegetables and a bowl mixed of peanuts, hot peppers, and bean curd. Most of the food seems as if they are testing out the food. We also ordered passion fruit smoothies. They had a special for buy one get one free. They smoothies were not bad and are comparable to smoothies at lollicup or quickly. Service: The service was quite good. They were really attentive and came by several times to ask if we needed anything. Price: The price is not bad for what you pay for. The total came out to be close to twenty dollars with tip and tax. Ambiance: The restaurant has pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant just opened not too long ago so most of the place looks clean. read more

Bobee 5 is the winner of a local contest in Taiwanese beef noodle category. I went there because of that. I ordered beef noodle (rolls eyes, of course), green onion oil infused dry noodles, boiled tofu and pork head cheese slices. I had some expectation of how good they should be but to be honest, although they do offer a wide variety of food, I'm a bit disappointed. None of the food tasted outstanding, even their award winning beef noodle which tasted a bit bland. For the beef noodle soup all I taste was the soy sauce, but none of the beefyness. Also the boiled oily tofu (first fried then simmered) and the pork head shavings that's supposed to be eaten with dipping sauce tasted.....well .....ancient....I could taste the previous frozen-ness out of the meat......as if it was frozen for more than a while, taken out at a whim, defrosted then served without verifying whether it was OK. I know small businesses like this keep inventory when business is not flowing as fast so food might not be as fresh, all my other friends also claim they do taste decent on the other times they went, so I'm giving a fair rating. However I will say again I was quite disappointed. read more

Before I tried this place, my favorite beef noodle soup was from A & J restaurant in irvine. After looking through the yelp reviews and finding out that this place was awarded for its beef noodle soup, I was eager to try it. Turns out, I was very satisfied with my order. The beef noodle soup was the best I've had. 4 stars because the restaurant is so small and loud that I had a hard time talking to my mom sitting across me. read more

Nice little place; best beef stew noodle! Like they way they put pickled Napa on the side for you, so then you could added as much as you want. The tomato soup noodle is little toooo sweet for me, so I play save, the original beef stew always the best read more

DO NOT COME HERE TO EAT. DO NOT order pork chop rice. I repeat, DO NOT order pork chop rice. I went there today for lunch, all three pork chop rice were spoiled, left sour taste. Informed the waitress. At first, she denied and said nobody complain about it. We insisted something wrong with the pork chop rice, then she gave us a shxt face and mumbling "I will have the cook fried a new one and tried myself." Of course she came back and said "Oh it does have a sour taste, then asked what you want? With this kind of attitude and how they handle the issue toward food safety, do you really want to come here with your family and loves ones and try your luck? P.S. I was here only because my guests suggested... read more

Decent Taiwanese food, but the restaurant is so small that if I have to wait, I would eat elsewhere. Here are a few of the things I've eaten there Water: their water (or their cups) have a weird smell to it... Stinky Tofu: okay, like how they give a lot of pickled cabbage with it Ba Wan: was decent Beef Noodle: Not as great as everyone hyped it up to be. Although usually I see everyone with a bowl of this, I did not think that much of it when I actually tried it. It's not bad, but it's not the best I've ever had Bamboo shoots: Not good Zha jiang mian: I like how they added mushrooms in it, but it is also too salty! Tomato Beef Noodle: Pretty good, wish there were more tomatoes. Hakka Pork: I know it's supposed to be on the three-layer fatty pork, but the piece I got was 97% fat and 3% pork. A little too much for me. Also saltier than I'm used to.. I'd say this is a decent temporary replacement for the now-closed good time deli and now-horrible q noodle house. read more

Bobee 5 won best beef noodle soup award in So Cal I believe. The beef noodle soup was about $9 with tax and tip, and with a drink it was $13 for me. The beef noodle soup was good, but I got the beef and tendon and next time I think I'm getting tendon only. The beef was a bit over cooked so they're rather hard. The drinks here are insanely expensive. A large drink is about $6. With buy one get one free it was $3 each. read more

Underwhelming. Supposedly this restaurant won a beef noodle soup award. The beef noodle soup award they won is probably entirely different from what they are currently serving. Its soup is flavorful, but basic. The noodles taste store bought. I got the dry noodles with popcorn chicken. Both the dry noodles and popcorn chicken taste of MSG. I couldn't finish my meal. I am a huge fan of tomato beef soup, but the tomato beef noodle soup here tastes like ketchup. Yuck. read more

I was surprised at how good the beef noodle soup was at this place. Come to find out, there are apparently competitions for beef noodle soup and they are the champion of said competition. Definitely a must try on your Taiwanese food list. The stinky tofu was great too. Much stronger in flavor than usual (Which I actually prefer it that way.) read more

Bobee 5 - Beef noodle soup and stinky tofu. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I ordered the dry beef noodle dish and I'm quite disappointed. I heard great things about this place from my mom. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish, but mine was incredibly salty. As for the boba, it's pretty decent given that this isn't a place that specializes in drinks. The Jasmine Milk Tea is pretty tasty. Their boba is also pretty soft! Their service us also pretty good. They're very prompt and it doesn't take a long time to be served. Taking all this into account, I rate this place a 3. Warning: I'm not a Chinese food enthusiast, so my opinion is biased. read more

I like this place however beware that the quality is inconsistent. I like their beef noodle soup. Also tried their beef noodle soup with tomato base which is good. Stinky tofu is not bad however I like stinky tofu from tofu king better. Their pork chop rice use to be good but last time I tired it, it wasn't good. Oily and not crispy. Drinks - papaya drink is good if you like papaya. read more

Love this place. I always come here if im craving for some hot beef noodle soup. And of course, wont forget to order my favorite stinky tofu. Nice decoration.
