    I was re-exploring Calgary's Chinatown today and strolled in to Bubble Waffle. The combos seem to be a nice deal on paper, and while the HK lemon tea and bubble waffle were refreshing and sweet, unfortunately the beef noodles were the worst I've ever had. Beef quality was a zero, and seemed to disintegrate into little particles after a bite, egg noodles had zero flavor and I had to ask for more hot chili sauce and soy sauce to taste anything - I just ended up not finishing it and went on to explore elsewhere. Street parking $4.50/hr, I won't recommend the savory food here but the waffle was really good.

    They have a noodle soup combo - you can choose your soups/noodles/toppings (+$1.50 for additional toppings) and one of their 4 HK style drinks. We got laksa and booooy we LOVED IT! So worth the price, broth was suuuuper rich and creamy, slight kick of spice, although the temp was too hot and we've burned our mouths multiple times trying to eat it LOL. Would highly recommend this soup base. ⁣ Their HK style milk tea was good! Strong tea flavor. Nothing special but not the worst we've tried. We got pearls (+$0.50) but would've been better without tbh. ⁣ ⁣ Rice cakes unfortunately we're disappointing & not worth $8.95. Yes it was a big portion, but the rice cakes weren't very soft, could've been steamed for longer. Not the biggest fan of the fish siu mai Great place to go if you're looking for a quick place to eat!

    Being from Vancouver, Bubble Waffle Cafe is a familiar restaurant for cheap, good quality bubble waffle, build your own noodle soup, and other HK cafe items. Located next to Gong Cha in Chinatown, its the perfect spot to stop for some HK comfort food! For $12ish you can get a noodle soup with 2 toppings and a drink (my favourite is the HK style milk tea). For an extra dollar you can get bubble waffle (the best!!!). They have other items as well such as Hainanese chicken and rice, rice rolls, etc. Im very happy they opened in Calgary!

    I really like this place! Its such a good option especially for lunch and their food is so reasonably priced. You can get a noodle soup or rice combo with A drink for $11.99. PLUS you can add an original bubble waffle for $1. ITS SO CHEAP! And you get a good quantity of food. I tried the laksa and szechuan spicy noodle soup and they were both good and flavorful! The lemon tea was also really refreshing and reminds me of the the boxed lemon tea drinks! The bubble waffle was also really good, soft, light but crunchy! I would totally come again and cant wait to try out their other stuff!!

    As mentioned by some other reviewers, the noodle combo here is great. For 11.95 you get a customized bowl of noodles (2 toppings free, additional at 1.50 each) and a drink (pearls and jelly extra). I got the laska soup base + rice noodles with fish balls and lamb slices and everything was delicious. Also tried the salty chicken appetizer and the chicken rice, both were great although the chicken rice could have used a bit more flavour. I was disappointed in the milk tea, it was a bit watery. Their bubble waffle was the best thing I tried - so fluffy and perfectly sweet, if you're visiting this is the one thing you have to try. Everything else is pretty average. For bubble tea you're better off going to Gong Cha or the Alley next door!

    So happy that we have something like this in Calgary - build your own noodle soup by choosing soup base, type of noodle and 2 toppings. You get a free drink and bubble waffle for a $1 with the combo. For $13, that's not bad. The bubble waffle is one of the better ones in Calgary as it is light and not dense. I had the pepper fish and sour vegetable soup base... very tasty. Salty chicken nuggets also worth trying. Definitely worth coming back. Hopefully speed of service will improve as they become more efficient.

    Tucked away in an assuming strip plaza in S.E. Calgary, Ahinke is a Nigerian-Canadian fusion…read morerestaurant that specializes in brunch items. I went in with high expectations, and in some ways they were met, and in others I felt a bit let down. Firstly, the interior is lovely, with lots of warm wood tones albeit a little dim. The server (who was also the cook? Not sure) was attentive and wanted us to have a good experience. She suggested we try the more traditional Nigerian side of the menu, so we did. The jollof rice arancini was quite good, though I wish I could've tasted the jollof flavor more. The Nigerian shawarma wrap was massive and saucy; I liked that the pita wrap was grilled and crunchy. The shrimp fried rice wasn't my favorite however. The total came out to $72 before tips, which I felt was a bit expensive. I would want to come back and try the brunch items to see if I'll have a different experience!

    I was in Calgary for just a few hours (stopover for a road trip), but I knew I wanted to try this…read morerestaurant after seeing them online. The menu is a mix of Nigerian and Canadian dishes. I got the suya chicken and waffles. Suya is a type of seasoning (you can purchase the seasoning to take home), which added a nice heat to the dish. It was served with two fluffy buttermilk waffles, peppercorn sauce, a poached, and hollandaise. It felt like getting chicken and waffles (but better and spicier) and an eggs benedict (cause of the poached egg and hollandaise sauce) in one dish. It also came with this tropical bliss salad, which had a nice combo of veggies and fruit and was really good. My original plan was to also get some puff puff to go, but I was way too full after my dinner. I was here on my own, so I got seated right away, but the space is smaller and I imagine it fills up quickly. If you're coming here with a group I'd make a reservation. Staff was nice, the restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious and a good deal for the price point. The only downside for me is I don't live in Calgary, but if I did I'd be visiting Ahinke's on the regular. It will definitely be a go to restaurant on my next visit.

    Waffles & Chix - Sorry for posting a talking face photo!

    Had the standard Waffle and chix. Food was great…read more Sauce was satisfying. Hot sauce was delightful.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5…read moreOverall experience: 3/5 (1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic) I've always wanted to try chicken and waffles, so I jumped at the opportunity when I saw Waffles & Chix at Calgary's Lilac Festival 2013. There was nothing memorable about the outside of the truck; white with red letters spelling out the name and concept of the truck, and a weird image of a chicken riding a 'waffle' skateboard. I managed to line up before a sudden rush; there was a bit of a wait (around 10 min to order and another 10 min for the food). The menu features: fried chicken and waffles ($9), a fried chicken poutine ($10), fried chicken & cheese waffle sandwich ($10), and sweet waffles for $5-$7. Note: Cash only. I ordered the southern fried chicken and waffle ($9), which for the price and portion is really decent compared to other Calgary food trucks. Definitely a carb overload and will put you in a food coma. Not the smartest idea on a hot day. Once I received my order, I was slightly disappointed to see that I did not get a fried chicken thigh or leg. Instead, I received two pieces of crispy chicken tenders. The chicken was a decent portion, but I almost ran out of it before I could finish the waffle. The dish could have had more gravy with a touch of hot sauce and I didn't like how the waffle became soggy from under the chicken and gravy. Overall, I wasn't blown away by the chicken and waffles. Although I love the concept, I wouldn't go back to try more.

    We finally made it out to try XO Ice Cream and Waffles. It's tough to try new ice cream spots out…read morewhen the big 3 dominate in Cowtown. However, we were in the area so my sister suggested making a pitstop for dessert. We dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It's a tiny shop; currently only allowing one person/family in at a time. There was about 20 flavors to choose from (seasonal and summer specials). Sad that you currently can't sample any flavours. Lime cilantro sorbet (that wasn't listed) peaked my interest. - Double scoop ($8.00) - we added a waffle one ($1.00) and decided on the sour cherry and guava papaya sorbet as our two flavours. They were very generous scoops. The sour cherry was the winner with real pieces of cherry (a slightly sour bite). Stronger in papaya than guava flavour. I think their sorbet texture could use a bit of work but overall, we were happy campers. - Single scoop ($6.00) - my sister went with the same flavours as we weren't sharing. Always nice when you have the options to choose two flavours in a single scoop. Credit cards only. Massive scoops. 3.5 stars.

    XO Ice-Cream and Waffles is now open and is so close to my house so you can believe I am so…read moreexcited! This is a handmade ice-cream shop that you do not have to go downtown for! It is right in deep SE Calgary! Located in Auburn Bay, the shop offers unique flavours as well as beloved classics and seasonal delights. The menu features a selection of oh-so-unforgettable ice cream and sorbets, fluffy waffles and unique sundaes, all made fresh on site. On top of beloved classic flavours, they have seasonal delights on rotation. Some of the ice cream flavours they have and have previously had are: - Vanilla Bean - Chocolate: - Salted Caramel - Strawberry Rhubarb - Mint Chocolate Chip - Coconut - Pistachio - Blackberry Lavender - Vanilla Waffle - Earl Grey - Mango Sorbet - Blood Orange Sorbet - Cranberry Jam Cheesecake - Espresso - Cookies and Cream - S'mores - Elderflower Lemon Zest - Raspberry Rose Sorbet - Sour Cherry - Lemon Basil Sorbet - Pineapple Coconut - Matcha White Chocolate - Honey Ginger Yogurt - Pumpkin Chai - Golden Milk - Oatmeal Vegan - Pear Sorbet - Pear and Cinnamon - Roasted Black Sesame - Chocolate Almond - Candy Cane - Gingerbread - Speculoos Cookie Butter - Rum Eggnog - Eggnog - Rum Raisin - Austins Hot Chocolate - UBE - Dulche De Leche - Chocolate Vegan - Skor and Pretzel - Quinns Unicorn Crunch -Malt Chocolate Mini Egg - Hibiscus - Lemon Curd Poppyseed I have had one scoop of every single one of their flavours and I buy a pint of the ones I really like!The owners favourite flavour is coconut! The waffle flavours they have are: - Classic Sugar: - Churro: - Chocolate Chip: - Cinnamon and Honey (All come with a yummy chocolate dip) They also had (have) waffle pops (all were SO good): - The Party (White Chocolate and Sprinkles) - The Nutty (Chocolate, Almonds, Coconut and Caramel Drizzle) - The Berry (Whipped Cream, Strawberries and Chocolate Drizzle) Or you can get a sundae that combines the waffles and ice cream together! Choose any flavour of ice cream for this unique sundae that combines the best of both worlds! I haven't had this yet either and probably will not only because I want to try the homemade ice cream and waffles separately!
