For years I've been wanting to try Bubble Republic's Taike fried chicken and I was finally able to try it today. Their Facebook page has a photo of the fried chicken menu with options of 2, 4, 6 and 10 piece combos. The combos come with a bubble tea of your choice and you pay extra for upsizing your drink and adding toppings. The person who took my order was very friendly and I felt very comfortable when I picked up my order as the staff were following COVID protocols with a pre-set path for customers to order/pick up. I ordered the 6 piece combo with a large original milk tea with tapioca, 30% sugar and less ice. The drink was great! Strong assam tea flavor with the classic creaminess that you'd find if you were to order a milk tea in Taiwan. The tapioca also is the best of any bubble tea chain I've been to; chewy, not too sweet and complements the tea. However this review is not for the drink, but for the fried chicken. Before I ordered, I had a feeling the chicken was going to be good because I've had Bubble Republic's fried chicken/pork chop on rice dishes and I enjoy their seasoning/crispiness. The fried chicken however used a different batter and seasoning as the rice dishes, and was EXTREMELY crunchy/juicy. The chicken had a thicker batter compared to other fried chicken chains (such as Jollibee or Popeyes) and they used a gentle seasoning that wasn't as salty as fried chicken chains. The chicken was made to order and so the chicken was piping hot! Surprisingly, the chicken didn't feel too oily as well. I was also given complementary pickled daikon and carrot slices which was great addition to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed every bite of the fried chicken. It was crispy, juicy, made to order and had a flavorful seasoning unique to Bubble Republic. Next time, I would ask if there's a spicy option but I will definitely order fried chicken here again!
Came here for Taiwanese takeout with a friend. We both got the Popcorn Chicken lunch. The price point of the meal was good. The popcorn chicken had good flavour, however the chicken wasn't crispy. The remainder of the meal included tomatoe and egg, bok choy and rice. The tomato and egg stir fry was okay, I though the vegetables tasted soggy. Overall a cheap place to grab lunch, if you wanted Taiwanese lunch there are many better options out there.
Note: this review was written pre-COVID! Our server was really friendly. She kept checking when we would be ready to order then joked that she thought it was females who were more indecisive when I ordered first and my male friends struggled choosing haha. After that the service went wonky though. 30 mins for my drink. 40 mins for the second. And another 10 mins came the last two. In total - we waited an hour and 20 minutes for 4 bbt drinks lmao. Ordered size small and they gave me a size large and we felt reluctant to tell them it was the wrong order because they were super busy and had one server running around, the poor girl. But they messed up 3 of the 4 orders sheesh. All 3 had the sugars levels mixed. I'd still give them 3 stars though because the server really did try her best and they let us stay for a few hours to play board games and never kicked us out. XD Tip: They only take debit and cash.
As a Taiwanese myself, I can say that this place is quite authentic and as close to actual Taiwanese food as it can. The wide selection of menus will satisfy all kinds of customers, whether you want a full meal, snacks, bubble tea, smoothies, or shaved ice. I always eat their combo meals when I'm craving Taiwanese food. The amount they give you is huge and satisfies me. The meal also comes with side dishes, an egg, and minced meat to go with the rice (minced pork rice is a famous TW dish). With around $10ish, you could have a fulfilling meal with a nice drink (or you can choose not to add a drink). I always order #1, 3 or 5 since they fry their meat perfectly to my taste - crispy, but not too salty or oily. If you've never tried TW food before, try #1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 13. The rest are equally as good but leaning more towards actual Taiwanese food. The prices are not bad, and it's a good restaurant for casual eating or full meals. Great place to socialize with authentic Taiwanese food. Perhaps other areas (such as shaved ice, bbt, service..etc) aren't 5/5, but their combo meals definitely are. I don't think it deserves only a 3/5, more like 4.5/5 but who knows.
Last Friday, four of my colleagues and I came to this plaza to have lunch at Chilli Chicken House. I immediately spotted Bubble Republic Tea House next door and flagged it. After we ate at this place, one of us asked if we could visit Bubble Republic. Since we are all fans of bubble tea, we took the plunge and went in. This place allows you to sit down and eat food. We were here to order bubble tea, so we did the takeout routine. A br'lunch menu is in your face when you walk in. The food looked good and dishes are pretty cheap in price when you order between noon and 3 pm on a weekday. They are mostly served with rice, which one exception where it was a noodle dish. Cool! I ordered a large iced strawberry black tea. I was so full from lunch that I decided not to get any tapioca. You can customize how much ice and sugar you want in your drink, which I appreciated. I tend to go with no sugar and a bit of ice. Two of us ordered bubble tea. We waited off to the side for a good seven minutes before our tea orders were ready. The woman at the counter was okay. She was competent, but didn't exude warmth. I guess stoic is the best adjective to describe her. My drink was okay. It wasn't horrible. It wasn't outstanding. Just okay. It was black tea with a dull strawberry flavour mixed in. The best strawberry black tea that is my kryptonite is at CoCo. Ever since that discovery, I have yet to find another bubble tea place that can beat this drink's awesome flavour and fresh taste. My drink came to $6.22. It's not cheap, but it's competitively priced compared to other bubble tea shops. I'd come here to have some food. Maybe the bubble tea tastes better with food! (92)
This place has gone DOWNHILL. Not only do they consistently have terrible service for years, like never answering the phone or staffing only 2-3 workers while they are always busy, but now they overprice they entire menu to the point of ridiculousness. For context, I grew up next to this location so I spent a lot of my early 20s coming here as a hang out spot. So I used to love coming here. Tonight I thought, I haven't been here in a while so maybe I should get a snack and some bubble tea along with takeout food from a restaurant within the same plaza. I spent $26 on a full dinner at Yin Ji, full on seafood dishes. I spent $36 on Bubble Republic. Here's my order. ALL BEFORE TAX. Small taro chiller with tapioca $8.50 Small oatmeal smash chiller NO tapioca $8 Potato Wedges with BARELY any wasabi flakes $8 Fried Popcorn chicken $10 ARE YOU KIDDING ME. A SMALL TARO CHILLER WITH TAX ALMOST CAME TO $10?!!?!!!?!! I'm sorry but that is a ripoff on every single order. let's be real, their food and drinks are solid. and they're the only bubble tea spot I know of that actually serves food, but cmon. if you're gonna charge that much for your product, why are people waiting FOREVER ALL THE TIME. I skimmed through a few reviews here and seems like i'm not the only one to complain about the wait times and prices. this used to be my fav spot to hang out at. but nope. NEVER ORDERING AGAIN HERE.
There were not many guests around 1 pm on a Monday afternoon. I went in requesting a table for 2 and I was pointed in the general direction of all the tables. Once I had chosen a table and sat down I noticed that there were menus laid out on the table but they were just for drinks. As someone who hasn't been before I had to look around before finding a food menu. It would've been nice if it had been pointed out to me. When the laminated menu was picked up it did not feel clean. It felt like there was residue on it. There was also bits of rice all over the table. My first impression of cleanliness was not so good. When ordering a lunch special drinks are available for $0.50 which is a pretty good deal. The dishes are a decent size and my friend and I were incapable of finishing all of it. Just an FYI that the red yeast wings take a very long time to be made. Something about marinating them when they're ordered. We had finished our dishes and were just chatting before the wings arrived. There wasn't much of a lunch rush so we could sit and chat for as long as we wanted.
BR used to be the place to go before all the new bbt places opened in Sauga. Ordered the strawberry shake which I would not recommend because it's 1000000% artificial flavouring which I'm not a fan of, but I mean if you are, defs go for it. I would recommend getting the deal of the day drink, which seems to offer better value. Easy to find parking in this plaza too so that's a plus. PS. They only take debit & cash, so leave your credit card at home.
Love coming to Bubble Republic for a quick lunch on a workday and also hanging out with friends. Bubble Republic is a great bubble tea shop at Mississauga with another location on the Square One side. They offer bubble tea for take out and also sit down dining. Their lunch and dinner special has a combo option where it allows you to add a drink to the meal at a discount. From my experience, I like their regular milk tea and pinna cotta milk team. For food, the popcorn chicken on rice, deep fried pork chop on rice (large portion), deep fried chicken pork chop on rice (large portion) are some of my favorites. There are also some snack options available such as rice noodles, sausages, and fish cakes. The restaurant isn't very large, but the tables can be move around to piece together for larger groups, though I'd recommend coming in a group of 4.
I ordered black tea with 1/2 tablespoon of honey. I think they literally added a 1/2 table of honey in my tea. Way too sweet. I never thought it was possible to ruin regular tea but bubble republic succeeded where all others have failed. My friend ordered tiramisu chiller and he really liked it. 2 stars because they failed at making regular tea. Also, because the tea was $5!
One of the few places open on Labour Day. I was dying for for some bubble tea so a friend suggested this place. Lobby was packed with people for take out orders even though there were a number of tables available for dine in. My friend suggested to get the special which was a Black Diamond Black Milk Tea with grass jelly, red beans and tapioca pearls for $4.19. Wanted to order their Sweet milk custard brick toast but the cashier warned us that it would take 10-15 minutes to prepare so I went with the Fried Spiced Chicken instead. There was a bit of a wait time but not unusually long. The flavor and sweetness of the tea was fine (you can adjust the level of sweetness and amount of ice in your drink ) but it tasted very powdery like they used powdered coffee creamer. The tapioca pearls were soft with a nice chew, the way I like it. I was expecting the Fried Spiced Chicken to be spicy (hot) with a crispy coating but they weren't. However, they were tender, juicy flavorful bite size morsels of chicken. If I was in the area again I would come back to try more of their food. I would recommend getting their daily specials for drinks or their combos which includes a drink to get the most for your money.
I'm surprised I never wrote a review on this and I've been here so many times. This place is not bad for some taiwanese food and bubble tea. They have everyday drink specials which is good for carry out - these don't apply to food combos. I always get combo number one with taiwanese noodles because that always stays consistent vs the rice dish. The veggies usually changes and it's super random. I like the noodles, it's soft. I think it's similar to egg noodles but it's more flat. The fried chicken comes on the side but I end up throwing a few pieces in the soup so it adds more flavour to it. My main drink is the caramel pudding milk tea. Not much to say, I think it's one of the popular drinks. Another go to is the matchamisu which is ice blended tiramisu drink with some matcha powder on top and a ladyfinger. Only downside of this drink is that it doesn't apply with the food combos :( They accept only debit now and if you want to split bills, just walk up to the counter and tell them what you're paying for. A good place to chill and hang out for bbt!
This place is more than a mere bubble tea shop. This joint has always been, and continue to be, one of the watering holes for students and young professionals in Mississauga. For longest time, it was the only bubble tea option outside of malls and supermarkets. Despite other bubble tea joints that opened up, this place continue to thrive. The draw of this place is their seating space and affordable food options, making this a great place to spend a couple of hours with friends. Popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup really hits the spot, the tapioca is fresh and they have all the classic bubble tea flavor options. The shaved ice here is not too exciting; the toppings are fresh and delicious, but the shaved ice itself is not too special. The milk tea shaved ice is pretty much the same as their milk tea slush bubble tea; a slush flipped upside down and served in a bowl. Their service varies drastically depending on the server on shift and how experienced they are and how much English they speak. Overall, a great place to chill with some friends without hurting your wallet.

First time trying bubble republic! I tried the caramel pudding milk tea I got 50 percent sweet and it was still really sweet, I would've enjoyed more if it was 0 percent sweet but next time I know! The tiny tapioca is a game changer! The service we friendly but it did take a while to get my drinks, they seemed to have a lot of orders. The place sells dessert and food as well! The ambiance is casual with a family style vibe. read more
one of my fave boba spots in mississauga. i LOVE the milo chiller in any weather and honestly, i think it's because it's hard to find a good milo (i don't make it good enough at home with the powder sold in the grocery stores lol) service is quick, even when they're busy! the food offered here is also SO yummy. love the feeling of being in taiwan with my boba and lu rou fan dish! read more
Got a Large MC Milk Tea a couple weeks ago It was relatively quiet and busy especially with large drink orders when I ordered. Service seemed pretty fast for smaller drink orders. The staff are nice and helpful. The drink was a bit pricey and tasted alright. The tapioca boba was soft and easy to consume. However, I suggest getting less sugar and not choosing the 100% sugar option because the sweetness is a bit too overwhelming and the tapioca also has sugar in it. Also, you have to use cash or your debit card since they do not expect credit cards. of read more

This rating is exclusively for the bubble tea only. Visiting Toronto and friend took me here for bubble tea and we ordered magic milk tea - regular milk tea with 1/2 coffee jelly and 1/2 pearl - oh my my....the best pearl I've ever had I must say. It's v soft and chewy. Milk tea also tasted v good. This place is not like cha time or any other bubble tea chain where if you order the magic milk tea you need to make it 1/2 sweet and so on and so forth. Regular taste just nice. Looks like a typical taiwanese bubble tea eating place type of food. We didn't eat here, so didn't have a chance to try it but check out the magic milk tea if you are ever in the area. read more

I really wanted to give BR a higher rating, but the prices are ridiculous, the wait times are ridiculous and not to mention the service is subpar at best. Honestly there are two drinks that make me come back time after time - Milo chiller ($6.50, large with no toppings) and Taro Coconut Chiller ($7.00, large with no toppings). The two drinks are slush drinks and great for a hot day. The Milo Chiller is like chocolate milk in slush form - and has chocolate powder on top (I like mixing that into my drink right when I get it so you get little balls of chocolate powder explode in your mouth through your sips). The Taro Coconut Chiller is sweet and is the perfect balance of taro and coconut. I'm normally not a fan of coconut as I find it too overpowering, but this is consistently good at BR. Recently, I tried their sit in meals. I ordered a fried spice chicken on rice with a fried egg and vegetables and made it into a combo. That cost me $11.25 before tax and tip. On top of that, the only drinks you get to order are the black milk tea series and anything else is half off the regular price. Certain items like the taro coconut chiller are still regular price and they're marked with two ** on their drink menu. The meal itself was SUPER oily and my stomach felt queasy for the rest of the night. The chicken was like popcorn chicken and easy to eat and had some flavour, but wasn't amazing. Very mediocre. read more
I havent been here for a year or so. Few nights ago I decided to dine in with husband because I was crabing for their popcorn chicken. We ordered popcorn chicken on rice and minced pork on rice combo. The minced pork on rice combo comes with one small drink. I ordered a small green milktea with no sugar and light ice. The drink tasted the same for many years it was pretty good. I was very happy with it. The minced pork on rice was delicious. It came with one egg and the portion was average. My hubby finished the entire bowl and I was sure he enjoyed it. My popcorn chicken on rice was disappointing. The popcorn chicken was lack of flavours. It was not salty enough. The rice came with three small side dishes. The portions were tiny for those sides. I forgot to take a picture of the sides they were underneath the popcorn chicken. The three sides of the day was stir fry onions, stir fry celeries, and stir fry frozen green peas/ carrots- yuck! I wished they could put more efforts in the side dishes. If they wanna save the cost they could have just includes two sides with much better food/ingredients. Overall experience was okay. Didnt expect much from BR anyways. read more

After hearing warnings of how sweet they make it I decided to go straight up with something that really has no sweetness which was a chiller (you know, like a slushie) but of the genmaicha variety. Typically I'm not big on matcha but add toasted rice and it's now a dessert. Once in a while I will buy genmaicha from Davids to switch things up from my regular green tea that is my usual (Dragonwell). Honestly I'm not used to green tea being served in steins. Usually when I'm drinking out of steins it's instead beer and since I rarely have bubble tea or frequent bubble tea places it felt rather strange to not have that plastic cup with the top sealed where I had to insert a half inch diameter straw wide enough to vacuum up tapioca balls. Not this time... this drink for lack of a better word was deceivingly thick considering it's a tea but hey it's also toasted rice too. I really liked this drink but it's cold and gritty and it's like I'm eating a cereal that was ran through a blender... a completely strange texture! It was sort of like sucking back liquid sand paper but it was surprisingly addictive. The price difference between a large and small is only a buck (6 or 5) so naturally being the pro bulk purchaser I am I went with the large green grit and cool slushie looking thing that will scratch your throat on the way down but in a good way. Since we just ate next door I wasn't really hungry but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted when looking at their menu of food just because of the pictures. Photos of food are nice to look at kind of how it's not exactly burning your eyes to look at a Victoria's Secret catalog. I thought it was sort of funny that some of the photos like of the fries had a photo of just ONE fry. I also saw that they had chicken wings and even what looks like one of those pounded flat chicken breasts like what they have at Hot Star Large Fried Chicken except this thing was only 7 bucks as opposed to 10ish. If I was to eat here I'd probably go for that popcorn looking chicken with rice and that egg on top. Eggs on top are for the win. It's not often I come to central Mississauga considering how close I live so bubble tea is sort of a treat for me. Still, I'm not fancy on it or anything but it's interesting enough. read more
Was my go to bubble tea place in mississauga but I feel like the quality has gone down. The food and drinks here is really disappointing when I get take out. They either mess up my order or give me burnt food. It went downhill since Chatime showed up. If you try calling to place an order after 11pm. Save your time. They turn off their phones. Dine in is still okay but service is not that great. read more

This was our go-to spot to hang out (pre-covid) and enjoy taiwanese chicken with good bubble tea. Service was ok, food & drinks are great. read more
I've been a regular here since they first opened. They are the bubble tea pioneers of the west GTA. My tastes for boba have developed with their menu. My go-to these days are any of their black milk teas; they are creamy and refreshing. I prefer their drinks half-sweet so I can get the flavor of the tea. Get the panna cotta (milk pudding) or the honey pudding if you're looking to get out of the tapioca stream. If you like red bean, the black diamond is a filling drink! Their food has changed over the years. I still don't prefer the noodles. Their pork chops and chicken dishes still reign; my hit list includes the Taiwanese red sauce pork chop, pork belly (for a serious cheat day) and the chicken filet on some days (sometimes it isn't that crispy). Music and blenders are often too loud. Unless you have a loud group, you might not have a chance to really mingle, even two feet away from each other. Get a seat by the door if you can. You know you're from Mississauga when BR is no longer Baskin Robbins or Banana Republic. Cheers. read more
Always heard of this place but never thought I'd get to try it since there aren't currently any in Toronto. Found myself in Sauga over the weekend and couldn't resist giving it a try after having dinner. I ordered the matcha slushie with grass jelly, red bean, and tapioca, topped with a chocolate wafer stick and a maraschino cherry. It was very yummy! The texture of the tapioca was just right, the drink wasn't too sweet, and it was overall very refreshing. Service was also great. Even though we just ordered drinks, a waitress kept checking up on us to see how we were doing. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in the city. read more

This was my second time visiting a Bubble Republic Tea House and my last time visiting this specific location. Let me start off by saying that my Oreo cookie milkshake type drink was absolutely amazing, no complaints at all with the actual product. HOWEVER, my complaint comes with the 25 minute wait for the 2 drinks. I more then understand a place being busy (not super busy either), but 25 minutes for a beverage is just unacceptable. This won't be my last beverage from this chain, but it will definitely be my only drink from this location. read more
It's actually rare to find a bubble tea shop that serves dinner dishes. After my not so good experience at the hurontario location I decided to come here with my sister. Normally, I don't come here to eat. Usually me and my friends would get food first and then come here for drinks since I don't really know what the food is like. I got the fried chicken on rice with a drink and it came to around $15 which is pretty good value. The fried chicken is Taiwanese style so it is seasoned differently and to my taste buds it's a bit sweet and sour. It's pretty good for the price but not outstanding in terms of food. It's one of those dishes that fill you up when you're hungry. Also my sister, her friend and I ordered the same thing as well and for some reason the drinks came out in 8-10 minute intervals. Like I was just confused as to why they didn't make all the drinks at once when we ordered them at the same time. Instead they'd make one chiller and then make someone else's drink and then another. Overall I don't think I'd come here for food but drinks are pretty good. read more

Not the fanciest or most updated sit-in interior, but decent pricing and great menu selection. They offer crushed ice desserts which I usually end up ordering and not finishing so I have the remainder of my "crushed ice" (eventually melted) asked to be put into a cup to drink. Would recommend the black milk tea with tapioca crushed ice. read more

I've always ordered bubble tea from here but ventured out to try something new last week. That'll be the first and last time I do that. I ordered chicken wings and they were extremely bloody on the inside. Worst is, I let the servers know and they offered to refry the current wings. I asked for new ones to avoid the terrible offer they gave me (refried, potentially oily and disgusting wings) and they said no. Thankfully they didn't charge me for that mess, but who the heck offers to refry old, bloody chicken wings? No thanks. read more
I dont understand why people hate this place so much. I've been going to bubble republic since i was 11, that was 8 years ago I even applied to work here before but I was too young and didnt have enough time. Seriously this place is probably the best place to go for bubble tea in mississauga, its even better then Cha-Time and Bubble Tease. Their bubble tea hasnt changed its amazing taste, they feature TWO SIZES of tapioca, which you wont get any other place. Their Taiwanese chicken is probably the best ive ever had, always crispy and seasoned perfectly. The only 2 things i dont like, is that they dont offer delivery and more locations, and even so i would walk after a long day at work to order their delicious bubble tea. Their prices are pretty expensive for bubble tea, but good quality bubble tea is so worth it. I will continue to support them. This little bubble tea shop is a gem to mississauga and remains unbeaten all these years and ive tried a lot of bubble tea in my years. My recommendation: -Panna Cotta Bubble Tea -Caramel Pudding Bubble Tea -Smash Oatmeal Bubble Tea -Vanilla Ice Cream Bubble Tea read more
A popular bubble tea shop for late-night snackers. They're usually busy with takeout orders but I haven't had trouble finding a table for dine-in every time I visit. The menu consists of typical Taiwanese rice and noodle dishes along with shareable appetizers to enjoy with a group! I've been here several times and have tried most of their food items. Favourites include popcorn chicken, pork cutlet, and yaro balls. Entree items are decently-priced. The taste and quality of the food is above average. I would say the bubble tea here is average but their daily specials make it worth giving it a try! read more
I only ever get takeout here and although they can be slow at times, I think they do their best to move the line along. I love Bubble Republic for their unique drinks. They also carry the more traditional black/green teas and chiller flavours but my absolute favourite is the smash oatmeal chiller with mixed tapioca. It's a filling drink and a must get when we decide on bubble tea in Mississauga. I would recommend getting less ice if opting for a juice tea as they tend to be watered down in my experience. read more
