Honestly, their Asian food is surprisingly not bad, and in Durham! 4.5/5 The chicken and prawn fried rice was absolutely delicious. Good flavour. 5/5 The chicken fried rice noodle was ok, loaded with veggies but heavy on oil (i understand rice noodle sticks otherwise), and i didnt quite like the flavour of the soy sauce. 4/5 We also got a bbt drink, the tapioca was very squishy, like it sat cooking for too long, but it was still alright. 4/5 read more

Food was awesome! Service was nice and helpful. The store was bright and colorful. Very kid and teenager friendly. There was this weird sharp ringing but wasn't much of an issue for me. Not too expensive either. Will be coming back soon read more

The Tiger Mango Smoothie is awesome. That's pretty much the only thing I get here although I have heard their Korean corn dogs are pretty good too. Also if you pay cash you get a 10% discount. read more

Ordered chicken hot dog and tiger Thai bubble tea. The tea was super quick but the corn dog took over 10min. Service is a bit slow but the food tasted good. Might place order in advance next time read more

I literally only come here for the korean rice hotdogs. I'll either get all cheese or cheese and beef hotdog. My friends like the potatoes toppings, which is good, but i prefer mine simple. For sauce, I usually put spicy mayo and honey mustard, with a little bit of hot sauce. I rarely come here but when I do, it's for these! Customer service is okay read more

Purple Bubble Asian Cuisine - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Good day everyone! I recently visited this place around a month ago with my wife while 3 months in our retirement. We were greeted so nicely by a young man at the cash register. He was engaging and recommended us foods from Asian origins. Corn dog was a bit late but we still liked the food. Would come here again! read more

Dropped in to pick up a quick lunch and got their spicy basil chicken with rice, spicy level-5 chilies. Although the stir fry was flavourful with better than expected "Thai" flavour, the 5 chilies spicy level was nowhere near spicy. Large portions with choke full of veggies, chickens sitting on rice made for a good lunch. Just wish they could have made it spicier as 5 chilies is their maximum spice level. May come back to try their Hong Kong style egg waffles with my daughter if we're back in the area for a shopping trip. read more

Another fast-food restaurant with the most friendly staff. Not much on the menu selection but if you are a fan a bubble tea, then you have found your destination. So if you are a shopaholic and need a break, give it a go and unwind. read more

Purple Bubble Asian Cuisine - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

I stopped in here as I was craving a Bubble Tea and it was the only place I could find nearby that sold them. I ordered an Original Mill Tea with Tapicoa and it was - okay. The drink was cold with just the right amount of ice but I felt like there was not that much tapioca and I paid for extra! The sweetness level was low and the drink overall was sort of bland. Nothing like a ShareTea or a Chattime. They also served food which people seemed to be enjoying in the little restaurant but for sure their strength is not Bubble Tea. It's more of a little restaurant that can make Bubble Tea if you order it - just not the greatest I've had. read more

Dropped in because I was craving some bubble tea. Tried the mango, no sugar with tapioca and overall it was good however felt there was not enough tapioca. Chatime are pretty generous with tapioca compared to this place. I had their food a while ago and remember it was good as well. Definitely worth a try! read more

We had the Nutella bubble tea. It was really really good! not too sweet, just perfect. My only issue is the price. I spent nearly$7 for a large tea. it's a small and clean establishment. I haven't tried the food but the plates I saw people eating looked good. read more

Purple Bubble Asian Cuisine - Nutella bubble tea(no tapioca) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Good place to go while you are shopping around. Their wonton soup is generous and light, also tried different dishes and was not disappointed. I would recommended it if you are looking for a casual dine in. read more

I got their taro bubble tea. It was good but a bit thinner than I usually like. Their general tsao chicken is also good.

Delicious Thai food. Tried their Chef's special Thai Basil (chicken) which comes with a pop and the Thai Green curry (chicken). Ate the same thing twice before posting this review and both times the meals were consistently great. Excellent flavour, felt clean. Veggies were well cooked and soft to chew. Choose your spice levels (0-5) wisely! Will definitely go for more. read more

Awful... bubble tea was horrible. Ordered this week's special which was orange chicken and it was uber sweet and I only got chicken with zero steamed rice... I was annoyed but still eager to try the chicken. It sucked! Will not be returning. Sor read more

This is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Durham Region. We usually get the pork chops and rice which are off the charts, however the reason I'm writing this review is because their Tom Yum broth is likely the best that I have ever had jn my life. Highly recommend that you visit! read more

great service and quality food!!! i love the bubble tea especially since they allow me to order ones with no sugar... i can tell they use fresh ingredients like the beef and broccoli is amazing and the vegetable spring rolls are once of the best ones i have tried read more

Horrible customer service. Always different employees when I order. Two female employees always seem miserable and depressed. I have ordered with an egg well done with my food before a couple times but comes a little runny. Wait time is unbearable. DO NOT order food or drinks here. read more

The hot milk tea is really good here. I got the roasted oolong tea with almond flavouring and it was dynamite. The cold bubble tea/slushies are about average compared to other places. The food is good, but takes a long time to prepare. I would come back for the hot milk tea. read more

Since moving to Ajax last year, my hubby and I are always looking for a good, new place to eat! Came here for dinner, we got the shrimp & pork spring rolls, the rice and chicken platter, and the rice and beef platter. The food was very tasty! The prices are super reasonable. The gentleman that was serving us, who I presume to be the owner, even brought us two bowls of soup and a sample of their new yogurt bubble tea flavour. The strawberry yogurt bubble tea was delicious! The service we received here was exceptional. We would highly recommend and will definitely return soon! read more

Bubble tea is of course good. Food selection is good as well but service is SLOW. Friendly staff but the kitchen needs to get the orders out way faster. read more

Good food, good service, nice space and reasonable prices. Oh and free wifi.

Love the bubble tea and the owner is so friendly! I love going there. I never feel ignored when going there. I tried the food there once and it was also very good. read more

Found this place quite by accident and happy to see another choice for Pho in Ajax. It was between 12 noon and 1pm and there was not another soul in the place. I understand Purple Bubble has been open for 2 months. There are a few tables, but I'm guessing their business is mostly takeout. Ordered Shrimp Summer Rolls and Classic Pho to go. Shrimp in rolls did not smell fresh. I only ate one roll and saved the other for next day, which did not do the shrimp any good. Rolls come in one piece (not cut in half which would be usual) and tend to fall apart if you are not careful. There was little depth of flavour to the Pho broth, which was disappointing. When one orders pho to go, the noodles, and meat are always on the side as are the bean sprouts and basil, with the broth separate, for mixing just before serving; this gives an opportunity to heat the broth first if you can, and not have the meat overcooked. This was the first time I have ever ordered takeout Pho where all of the meat had already been cooked. There is a small covered "steam table" with about 8 different dishes available with combo options of 1 main, 1 side, or 1 main and 2 sides. "Mains" are noodles or rice. Not sure I would return as I feel there are much better Pho options available in Ajax and Pickering: Red Kitchen, Pho Metro, and Pho Saigon. Staff were very nice and accommodating, asking what sauces I wanted with the rolls and whether I wanted the bean sprouts (for the Pho) cooked (no!) and if I wanted basil (always!) read more

Love their Bubble teas!! We have had a few things on the menu and have never been disappointed. One our favourite stops for fast food. The only negative I can say is This place is usually busy around dinner time so you might wait a little longer than you expected. Otherwise, love it. read more

Terrible service! Never had to wait for a single drink the time I waited at this place.. Plus, the staff is extremely unfriendy.. Never going back ! read more

It's so nice to have a good bubble tea place in Ajax! Came from Markham where every corner had bubble tea, so it was great to have a place so close. What's also nice about this place is they serve quick meals and also Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai takeout. Classic dishes that were made fresh and hot. read more

Felt compelled to write a review. Our family ordered the Pho (Classic), General Tao's Chicken, and Pad Thai. The Pho was excellent! The Soup base was on point. Living in Durham for 15yrs this is one of the best Pho joints I've had. My wife who truly enjoys Pad Thai loved her dish, and the General Tao's was also quite good. This place will be a regular spot for us from now on. read more

Will never go there again. Up to today we have spent almost $200.00 a month there. Today we ordered the wonton soup. It came with hair in it. They explained to us that it was the fault of a different chief. That's all, no apology no nothing !!!!. Then the summer rolls came out. We ordered the shrimp ones, two with mint and two without mint. They gave us veggie ones. We explained that we ordered the shrimp. The waiter said ( well I heard veggie). We said that's ok we will wait for the shrimp. Ten minutes later he came back and said that the chief was too busy to make them. By the way the soup still on the table for us to have. WHAT THE f+*^##. Places like this deserves to fail. read more

Service was quick, staff was friendly food is decent but not awesome. Prices are fair, I've had better bubble tea but it's the only place in Ajax that has quick serve bubble tea...so they kinda have the market cornered on this one. If you go in stick to the Vietnamese selection of food everything else just isn't that good. read more

This place has bad service, and bad food. I've been there a couple times when it opened and it was much better. The honey garlic chicken was way too sweet, and their chicken pho had a large layer of oil on the top, I could not eat it... The chicken smelt weird so I did not try it. They have a clueless teenager working in the front, and would not even help him when he was clearly struggling. With so many Asian restaurants in Durham, they need to step up their game! Will not go back. read more

To be honest I have lived in Ajax for 15 years and still do not have a favourite chinese food restaurant. We decided to order from your menu for the first time. I asked the owner for a dried spicy shrimp dish that I love and although they do not serve it, he was open to trying it which I thought was quite nice. Since I didn't know them, I tried the vegetable lowmein, the spicy szech chicken and the deep fried shrimp. All of the food was very tasty and the whole family enjoyed. I look forward to getting to know these guys and trying even more of their dishes. Finally! read more

Disappointed. My boyfriend and I went there and ordered 2 drinks. Waited...and waited...and waited. I got my drink but my boyfriend still hadn't gotten his. We continue to wait. Then we see that the people who were behind us had received their drinks and food before us! We wait for 20 minutes for a drink that takes less than 1 minute to make. When asked about this, they said sorry and shrugged their shoulders. It's a place run by teenage kids with little to no customer service experience. There are some workers who are better and faster than others but really unimpressed with today's shit show... there was only 1 customer before me and it wasn't busy so really not sure why it was such a mess. Doubt we'll go back and if we do, it won't be when today's staff is working! read more

Nice self service place, food court style. Clean and brightly lit. We ordered Pho (standard quality), Satay chicken (not authentic Thai/Malay)but tasty all the same. The Pad Thai again was not at all authentic but the dish was still tasty. read more

Went there with family. Great bubble tea and excellent food. Everything was very tasty and service was quick.

Pretty good sit-in bubble tea place local to Durham Region. Really the only place for bubble tea around here other than Real Fruit, which recently opened at Pickering Town Centre (take out only though), but a decent option. Purple Bubble is off to a pretty good start but could use some improvement, especially with maintaining consistent quality with their teas. There have been a handful of times when my tapioca has come to me still frozen/tough, and sometimes the flavour of the teas vary depending on which staff member is making it. On that note, they could use better customer service. Orders are typically about a 5 minute wait, but sometimes longer. The staff are a bit less efficient than other bubble tea places I've been to in the Scarborough/Markham/downtown areas. Some of the staff do not appear confident with order taking/preparing the teas, but they are all very friendly and produce good teas pretty much all of the time. Everything that comes out of their kitchen has been consistently delicious also. I've tried their pho, Vietnamese noodle bowls, and hot take out - all of which are pretty fresh and authentic tasting. Adding Vietnamese food and some dessert to the menu was definitely a smart choice. It gives the restaurant a social, hangout dine-in appeal. Whoever is in the kitchen knows what they are doing. The ambiance has a homey, mom-and-pop shop feel. It is cozy enough, but modern decor would add to the experience for sure. Though they are going up against tough competition - Gong Cha, Chatime, Real Fruit, TenRen, Go for Tea, etc further to the West, Purple Bubble puts up a good fight and is great for satisfying any East-ender's bubble tea cravings. read more
