    Bubble Waffle
    Hollie T.

    Came here with my family because we got a Groupon. Our Groupon allowed us to choose our own entrees and an appetizer to share. Everyone gets bubble waffle at the end and were able to choose their own drinks (Milk tea or Green milk tea). We got: - Curry fish balls (appetizer) - Homemade Duck Breast with rice - Hainanese chicken with rice The appetizer was disappointing, as the fish balls were really fishy and were presented to us dry with no curry sauce. The entrees were meh. Duck breast tasted like black forest ham (which was weird...). The Hainanese chicken was ok... a bit slimy. The best part of this entire experience was probably the bubble waffle. It came out fresh, crispy on the outside and the right texture in the inside Overall, I wasn't really impressed. However, compared to Bubble World, there was no wait time, tables were much cleaner and the service was more attentive.

    "stinky tofu" aka not as advertised tofu

    What the f*CK was that?? Because bubble world only took cash and I was lazy I decided to settle for bubble waffle. Having been to other locations I had an idea of what to expect (or so I thought) I ordered the hainanese chicken combo, which I've had many times at other locations with no issues. When the dish came I noticed right away there were less chicken. And instead of the red tangy sauce and ginger onion garnish, they gave me soy sauce and SWEET THAI CHILI SAUCE instead. But I guess it's okay since the chicken wasn't even hainanese chicken, just cooked chicken with no flavour. What drove me over was the stinky tofu dish. Before ordering I specifically asked the waitress if the dish was any good , she said it's a popular dish, and I've been craving stinky tofu so I decided to give it a try. When it arrived, I was immediately disappointed and was shocked to see a plate of small dice sized tofu with no pickled cabbage and vegetable. I asked the server and she said they didn't have any. I had a bite of the tofu and it just tastes like fried tofu, not stinky at all. Clearly this place doesn't give a shit and has no standards. Would not recommend or come back. WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT?? sums up my experience Food: 1/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Value: 0/5

    This chain restaurant is starting to become one of my faves. But this location in particular is one that deserves some recognition. Every time I've gone there, the service was always excellent, and the owners are genuinely nice. I love the HK/Taiwan style of food they offer. I usually go for the laksa soup and try different proteins each time. The food is comforting and so is the atmosphere. They also have great combo deals that make your meal worth it! The only thing about this place rn is that their door always gets stuck when people open it, and it brings in the cold draft. But the owners apologized profusely about it and are getting it fixed the last time I was there. I know they have locations in some food courts as well, but I personally enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant.

    We had a Groupon to come here and we found the place to be pretty decent. We each had original bubble waffles, cumin lamb with rice, fried shrimp balls (shared) and milk tea. The food was good but some of it was brought out in the wrong order; we received the bubble waffle before the appetizer (shrimp balls), which were brought out after the entree. The shrimp balls were good but I looked inside one of them and I saw imitation crab meat. If I lived closer, I would order take out because the inside of the restaurant is small and it was busy while we were there for dinner. Overall, good dining experience.

    This place is underrated! Huge portions and reasonable prices. Service was not bad either as it was reasonably quick. Got the chicken Laska and pork soup noodle, the broth was flavourful and hot. Would come again!

    Decent place for noodle soup, bubble waffle, Taiwanese chicken nuggets and Hong Kong style drinks. A lot quieter than Bubble world two doors down and portions are bigger too.

    Black & white. They should've put a layer of ice cream under the cereal/Oreo too

    We came here for dessert and got our food within 15 minutes. The service was fine - the server saw as we entered and told us to sit anywhere we wanted. I ordered the cheesecake waffle - I was very disappointed because it tasted like cheddar cheese inside of a bubble waffle rather than a dessert. My husband got the black and white parfait. The oreo waffle was light but tasted much better. What they should have done however is put a layer of ice cream at the bottom, then the cereal/Oreo crumble, then ice cream and the waffle on top. We barely ate the cereal/Oreo because it was at the very bottom. They also do not have any hot drunks except tea and hot water. Not sure if I'll be back. Oh, I need to add this. The restaurant wasn't busy and we had to go to the front to ask for our receipt. Also, as we were paying our bill the server never thanked us. The lady that served our food was was nice but too bad. We will not be back.

    It's been awhile since I have done a review, and what better to kick start my hiatus of reviewing by reviewing one of my favorite places. This was a surprise for me since I always thought that bubble waffle only existed in Richmond.I would always go back to Richmond every weekend (obviously to do stuff not just to go to Bubble Waffle. If I did, I would have to say im a hardcore Bubble Waffle fan) This location differs from the other 2 places. Surrey has Bubble Waffle ICE CREAM! Ya it's probably not a huge new thing and probably can get it anywhere in Richmond too but the Landsdowne and Aberdeen locations don't offer that (well not that I know of..) The place is conveniently located nearby Guildford town centre. This place is actually located within the plaza where T&T is. The menu is essentially the same, where you can select and make your own soup noodles. Drinks are all the same as well. The only thing is different is the management and the bubble waffle ice cream. They only have 3 flavor but they give a pretty big portion. The place is a sit down style cafe. Unlike the other 2 which are located in food courts this one has its own unit. Most of the people who come here are in large groups. At times orders can be slow even for take out but the food is generally the same. I really liked the ice cream and I feel like this is the only place that has it in the area. The customer service is pretty good. Very attentive with your orders. Definitely one of my go to places, and much more convenient to have a location nearby.

    After seeing bubble waffles on Instagram not long ago I was extremely excited to see this store open and stopped in for one. The restaurant was having a "trial" opening and it seems like they still have a few bugs to work out. The food looked delicious but we ordered two bubble waffles to go, one came in about five minutes but the other took an additional 10 minutes to arrive. The ease of eating the treat was comparable to popping popcorn in your mouth. I feel it needed something additional like powdered sugar on top or a sauce. The outer edges were a but on the burnt side but I personally enjoyed that. The one item that bothered me about this place is that on the way to the washroom there was a waffle iron on the floor. Even if it is not in use i have a burned image in my head of this. Keeping a kitchen item next to the washrooms on the floor prompts sanitation concerns. I'm going to pretend that they won't use that one again so I can sleep well.

    bubble tea (mango and passionfruit) and original bubble waffle

    One of my favourite places to go whenever I crave bubble tea and bubble waffle. Great food, good atmosphere, and fast service. Their new purple rice yogurt drink is my new all time favorite. I drag my friends with me to drink it at least once a month. Low-key addicted it's so good . The potato tornado are awesome too-- night market style but all year round. For food, my favourite is the original fish soup with noodles. Near dissapoints.

    Enjoy your meals with receipts

    I have been to this place twice. From my first take out experience, I have waited approximately 30 minutes for a chicken combo and ice tea. In addition, the waiter made a mistake about my order. During the waiting time, I have seen the cooker just putted a sheet ( I think it is something like receipt) into the noodle soup, and the waiter took out the receipt before she served it. In the end, I have watched my ice tea on the table like 10 minutes , So I just walked into the front desk and took my ice tea, because no one cares about customers. My second experience is shorter. I just heard the waiters were discussing how dumb the last customer is. Just because the customer can't speak and order the meal in the correct Chinese name

It's been there for a while so starting to look a bit dated. Doing good business on a Saturday night, although we didn't have to wait for a table. We were not super hungry so just went for drinks and appetizers. They have a pretty sizable sweet drinks menu, with a lot of choices for toppings. I got the melon slush with half sugar. It was plenty sweet, and has the nice honeydew melon taste. For appetizers, we got the Taiwanese style chicken nuggets, and a mixed plate of braised meat and proteins. The chicken nuggets taste as expected, got good flavor, and was tender and not dry. For the braised plate, we got sliced pig ear, fish cake and sliced beef shank. I liked the flavors, and the beef shank was tender. Overall two drinks with two appetizer was like $43 before tips, so not expensive. Solid place to go for some inexpensive Taiwanese food and sweet drinks.

They offer so many different dishes (hot pot bowls, stir fry noodles, hot and cold appetizers, etc.) plus an extensive drink selection. One of my guilty pleasure meals from here is their popcorn chicken, intestine soup noodle, and their Hokkaido milk tea. The popcorn chicken is always made fresh and food portions are generous at the price point offered. There's a reason why Bubble World still maintains a number of locations throughout the Lower Mainland and business is steady. Service is prompt and decent too.

Menu is pretty extensive and there are many different sizes. Smaller rice bowls at cheaper prices were available as well as more expensive meal sets. Even cheaper meals combos are available for students. Once we ordered food, it took a pretty long time to come (at least half an hour), considering that there were only 3 total customers in the restaurant. However the food was very delicious when it did come. The sole waitress was pretty much on her phone at another table the entire time apart from serving the food. The food is very good though. I would definitely return again just for the fried chicken alone. The pork chop dish that we ordered was also delicious.

The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.
