I usually go to Bubble Waffle Cafe at the mall food court, but this location is an actual restaurant located at Killarney Centre. Chill vibes and you place your order by filling out the paper sheet. There was only 1 server and she was friendly. The combos are a good deal and comes with a basic drink and bubble waffle/waffle cake for an additional $1.95. Everyone except me ordered noodles in laksa broth. I really liked the broth, it had a strong coconut flavour with a bit of a kick. I ordered the Mongolian lamb teppanyaki rice combo. It was ok, I found the lamb a bit dry. read more

Interesting name for a cafe that offers more than bubble waffle! It has a full menu with many Cantonese noodles and rice dishes plus Chinese style appetizers. It's located at the corner of the mall, next to the popular supermarket 88 so one can easily find free parking in the lot. Service here is usually friendly and efficient. Decor and ambiance resembles the traditional Canto style diners (茶餐廳) with both booth and table seating available. I enjoy their egg waffles 雞蛋糕 and found it convenient to order take out. The first time I dined in, I was pleasantly surprised by their tasty duck breast menu item, as picture shown. And I would recommend adding waffles to make it a combo meal. This could easily be my go to stop when craving egg waffles or when hungry for a fast Cantonese style meal, picking up groceries or stopping at the gas station in the same mall. read more

Bubble Waffle Cafe - Duck breast combo - Waffles Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Nice tasty location inside Killarney Centre, tucked away in the corner. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall lot, though it can get full. The inside is pretty plain, but the furniture and tables are nice. Staff are friendly and helpful. I've been told (but cannot confirm) that the teppanyaki rice combos are unique to this location. All I know is that I don't remember seeing them anywhere else. My buddy recomended the duck breast combo. This thing is seriously tasty. Meat was nice and tender and fresh. Udon was decent quality too. Tater tots are something out of a supermarket frozen section. Drink was also good quality. The only complaint is that the portion is a bit small. I left hungry. I'd come back for a snack, but not if I was starving. With that said, for those with smaller appetites I'm sure these combos would be a decent choice. Recommended. read more

I came around 3pm. Even it was not busy time at all, nobody noticed I entered the restaurant. So I showed up the cashier and ordered. Server guy was busy for chatting with customer in their language. As I was super hungry this moment, I really hated their attitude already. I ordered laksa. Tasty but water down. There were no heat and fishy flavour in it. I felt like "laksa for kids" honestly. I won't come here for dining. Maybe just for bubble tea. read more

Despite the name, Bubble Waffle Cafe serves more than just desserts and drinks. They offer quite a large selection of rice dishes and noodle soups as well. PRO TIP: check in on Yelp for 10% off your order It's located in a plaza so parking was quite easy to find on a Thursday evening around 5:30 pm. I was quite hungry and was craving noodles, so I went straight for the noodle combo page of the menu. The noodle soup menu is similar to Deer Garden, where you can choose the broth, toppings, noodles, and a drink of your choice for $11.95. I went with the original fish soup, fresh fish and fish ball with fish roe, flat rice noodles, and HK style milk tea. When they first brought out my dish, I was really confused because it didn't look anything like what I had ordered. Turns out it was for a different table entirely. Not sure how they messed that up when there were only 2 other tables occupied... The portions here are huge. I was starving when I came but still had trouble finishing up my food and actually packed the leftovers to go. The large portions and the rice noodles were the only positive things about my meal. The fish broth was quite bland, as were the fish slices. And maybe I shouldn't have ordered the fish balls with fish roe; it tasted a little cheesy inside and that threw me off as well. There was also too much cabbage, which I wouldn't have minded (gotta make sure to get your veggies!) if it wasn't so bland. Overall I can't say I particularly enjoyed my noodle soup that much. Some of their other menu items looked good too, like the rice combos with the teppanyaki, so I'd like to come back and give the other items a chance some time. read more

I've always liked ordering from the Bubble Waffle Cafe in the Metrotown food court but it was out first time to dine at this location on 49th. Parking can be a bit tricky since the slots are a bit tight and there are several establishments sharing the parking lot so it can get full at times. The Cafe is nestled on the corner of the strip mall near the grocery. Interiors are a bit dated and couches need re-uphoulstery since there are a lot of cracks and fraying in the booth seating. Upon checking their menu, it is a bit different from their food court branches as all the rice entrees are served on a hot plate with fried egg and tater tots. While the noodle menu looks similar where you can pick your soup base and add-ons. Their combos have the option of drinks and bubble waffle/HK waffle add-ons too. I ordered their Hainanese Chicken combo with hot honey lemon plus HK style waffle. The taste of their Hainanese is consistent to the one I normally get at the food court but I feel like the side of egg and tatertots doesn't blend well with the dish though. The hot honey lemon was perfect for the cold and rainy afternoon while the HK Style waffle was a tasty dessert -- totally enjoyed the blend of peanut butter, honey and butter (calorie laden but oh so satisfying) with the crispy soft waffle. The hubby was feeling under the weather so he opted for soup with chicken meatballs that he enjoyed eating. read more

Got the hainanese chicken laksa but changed it to a chicken soup base since I wasn't feeling spicy and it was a HUGE PORTION. they give a decent amount of chicken and plenty of noodles with a little bit of napa cabbage and some bean curd. The taste was average as the chicken had no real flavour and the soup honestly was bland. This may have been my own doing for choosing chicken soup base but still, it was very meh. The wait for a table was not too long but there is only one server for a very busy and crowded place. Overall, not bad for the price but its simply noodles with some meat. read more

Doordash the popcorn chicken + bubble waffle for lunch and it's nothing to write home about. Received very little sauce on the popcorn/salty chicken rice, making the rice a bit dry. There's little to no flavoring to the rice and corn. I paid extra for the taro bubble waffle, but didn't really taste much taro in the batter. read more

Been getting delivery from here from Ubereats lately and so far its pretty good. It can be a hit or miss because sometimes they mess up your order but with ubereats they dont give an option to voice this concern. Their spicy rice noodle soup is very tasty and addicting although I wish they would use less peppercorns. Most of the time when you pay extra for additional ingredients they will add that in. Their snacks are pretty good too. Bubble waffle is usually pretty yummy though sometimes it gets a little soggy as they put it in the takeout bag with the noodles and it can get too hot. My fave is definitely their popcorn chicken but I wouldnt recommend the curry fishballs for takeout as they dont really add curry in the container so its just dried fishballs The rice noodle is definitely the best noodle to go with the szchuan soup they have and I highly recommend it. There was one order (pictured below) I had placed where they gave me the wrong noodle and despite paying for extra ingredients you could tell there wasnt extra ingredients. I was tempted to deduct a star for this order specifically because the different noodle didnt go well with the soup base and I had paid $6 extra for 3 additional items where one was watercress and they basically gave me one piece lol. Other than this specific order usually they are pretty good with the orders. Maybe it was just an off day. Overall def satisfies the craving read more

3.2 Stars There is a parking lot, but usually full on the weekends, as it is shared with a bunch of other businesses. First impressions, smaller then the ironwood location. The booth seats were torn up. Lighting is not very good, found it dim. We went for lunch and got a seat right away. Ordered: The Noodle Soup Combo - good flavour, came out hot (tempurature). Would like to see a bigger portion, not much noodles. HK Style Waffle Cake - just as good as the one I had at the other location. One of my favourite HK desserts. Service was good and friendly. Food came out fast. The value is a bit better then the Richmond location because to add the waffle cake is the same price as the reg bubble waffle. Overall Experience: Service - 9/10 Cleanliness - 7/10 Food - 6.5/10 Value - 8/10 Parking - 6.8/10 read more

Not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating. It's not fancy but quite delicious! Service was not bad. I like their tomato pumpkin fish noodle soup. You can add $1 something to the combo for an original egg waffle （雞蛋仔） or waffle cake （格仔餅）. Comes to around $11-12 per person. read more

Bubble Waffle Cafe - Tomato pumpkin fish soup noodle - Waffles Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Great place to grab a quick bite. Delicious soup noodles, and amazing teppanyaki rice combos.Go to choices are always the Tomato & Pumpkin Fish Soup with Rice Noodles, and the Salty Chicken Nuggets Combo with the Special Sauce. The bubble waffles here also golden! Most places have watered down and tasteless bubble waffles, but you truly taste the egg flavour in these bubble waffles :) Make sure to get stamps (you get a stamp for every $10 spent- eat $30 worth of food and get 3 stamps), and you'll eventually be able to earn yourself a free bubble waffle! read more

This is my go-to take out joint for those nights that I dread slaving away in the kitchen after a 9-5. They've always done a great job and have been consistent with the food but the last times I've gotten take out...it's time to reconsider a new place after three strikes (yes three strikes now that my orders' been messed up). I love me some fish tofu. I live for that goodness and always my choice of toppings. And for three times in a row I never get my fish tofu!!!!!! I get so optimistic too thinking it's underneath the noodles BUT NO!!!! THERE'S NO FISH TOFU!!!! It makes me so sad...... It's still yummy though not gonna lie. But I'm just going to double check everything before they seal that to go bag. read more

I would've give a tip but the machine didn't give me an option to, so I quickly tapped my card and remembered the amount was differnt from what I had.

Living near the west end, it's hard to find a good Asian noodle place unless if you drive out to Burnaby or Richmond. For a good price you can get a bowl of noodle (you can customize your own soup base, noodle, toppings), or try the teppanyaki with rice or tater tots. For $1.39 you can add on bubble waffles or $2 for a bubble tea. read more

One of the best waffle egg snacks, ever. Lightly cooked longer for that burnt flavour, or it is indeed a better batter. Did I say crispy? Lol While the broth and quantity of ingredients as well as garnishes are a notch below fr Deer Garden, it certainly is passable, and good. A regular anyways so there's that VIP stamp card. Cozy and lots of seating considering how packed it is. Inside Killarney Plaza. Credit debit good. read more

Bubble Waffle Cafe - Always the usual lol - Waffles Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

i came in to order and was left unattended for 20 minutes the menu was confusing and mostly in chinese with is not within the 2 official languages of canada I continues to sit there and my order wasnt taken at all. the service is horrible I should have left. I soon found that this place has a double standard for food and caucasian customers and asian customers. I finally ordered and I paid almost 30.00 for my meal in advance as it was take out. when I got home i found that the portion was less than half the take out container and went back to the store and when I brought this to their attention the guy just laughed at me with another waitress and didnt seem to care and wouldnt refund me or make it right.NO CUSTOMER SERVICE at all I looked at the other peoples food and they had more so why did I get this portion control what a rip off the ambiance was cold and impersonal it wasnt something to write home about ... after this experience they have lost a customer read more

So pleased to have found this place! This place has the best BUBBLE WAFFLE. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. So delightful! Highly recommended the combo.

Had no idea this place existed! It's hidden in the Killarney plaza. I opted for the Angus beef combo (korean sauce) with a HK style waffle cake & hot lemon tea. Everything was fairly good, I particularly enjoyed their bubble waffles the most. Crisp and light, nicely flavored. The HK style waffle cake is basically just a waffle folded into a sandwich with whichever filling you choose. Combos are not too shabby if you're in the area, though I do prefer Pepper lunch or Deer Garden. I'd come back here for the waffles though! read more

This restaurant is also known as Iron kitchen. I've been visiting the restaurant consecutively for the past two years. Their teppenyaki has always been my favourite! They are a cheaper and tastier option than the Vancouver peppercorns. However they recently changed their chefs and their teppenyaki no longer as savoury and flavorful as before. I hope they qualify check and the next time I come back I hope they would change back to their original recipe! read more

Bubble Waffle Cafe - Angus beef teppenyaki with special sauce no longer taste as satisfying :( - Waffles Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I used to come here often a couple years ago as it was good and cheap so I decided to come back recently, but it was a bad idea as the quality of food went downhill. We ordered the noodles and teppanyaki rice dish but both dishes were lacking. The laksa soup was good but the napa cabbage in the noodles were very bitter and the curry fish balls were too salty. The teppanyaki rice dish was even worse because of the plastic like egg they served on top. You can tell it's been sitting there for awhile since the white and yolk were solid and plastic like. On the other hand the fried chicken and tots were good. I am very disappointed in the quality of food now. read more

There was only one waitress working, but the service was still prompt. I ordered the Salty Chicken Nuggets Combo, which comes with a hot or cold drink. You get to choose between rice and egg noodles, and it comes with salty chicken nuggets, an egg, corn and tater tots. The food did not look impressive, but it was okay. I've been to places that serve hot plates with more, and is much tastier, albeit slightly more expensive. The combo was a good price though, even if it came in underwhelming. There is plenty of parking at the Killarney location. read more

Okay so they are reasonably priced and have many combos to choose from to give you the bang for your buck, but I wish they put more effort into it. Speaking strictly from delivery experiences every order I have received required very little sauce, making the rice & beef quite dry. However, if you like squid I recommend getting their Takoyaki, it's delish read more

Used to be a teppanyaki restaurant, but they franchised under this chain while keeping the teppan rice dishes. No other location offers this. This is actually for worse though, as it's mostly just carbs/grains and very oily while priced higher than the noodle dishes. Objectively the worst hainan chicken you can get out of all stores. Stay away from the rice. read more

Bubble Waffle Cafe - Drink is mostly ice - Waffles Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Don't get me wrong, the food is great however, this place adds their own tip onto your bill!! The female waitress with the short hair served us earlier today, she did not give me the option to put my own tip, she put the tip in herself and tapped my card. I didn't notice the difference on the receipt and how much I paid till I got home! Tips should always be optional to the customer, never mandatory! This is considered stealing and illegal! I've been seeing a lot of other reviews with similar experiences. I hope the police and restaurant inspectors get involved so this restaurant won't be able to scam any more people in the future. This is definitely not the way to run a business. read more

Whenever I am in the area, I love to drop by to pick up their bubble waffles to go. It is always crispy and fresh. Plus, when you order their noodle or teppanyaki rice combinations, you can get one bubble waffle for another $1.39! Nice! I like that the combinations come with a drink that you can customize to your liking. They also serve rice rolls that you can add and assorted side dishes too! I like their fish siu mais, takoyaki, curry fish balls, potato taters that you can add spices too. You can also order different bubble tea drinks too. You can upgrade your regular drinks to bubble tea drinks. If you like lamb then you should try their Mongolian lamb in the teppanyaki style combination. You can choose between two types of sauces...Korean or special sauce! read more

BEWARE NOODLE LOVERS- THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO If I had an option, I would of given this location ZERO STAR. Ordered on line 2 bowl of noodles. Both orders was very wrong. Got the soup base right but toppings were all wrong. Plus waffle cake machine is broken and they made me bubble waffle instead. I didn't want that option, if I did I would of picked that from the beginning. As for taste, mediocre. I have had much better noodle Soup everywhere else except for this place. Never will return.

The food at this cafe is decent, EXCEPT the customer service there is HORRIBLE! The waitress I had today did not give me back my change and assumed it was for her tips without informing me of it. I asked for my change back and she aggressively questioned me why I needed it. Due to the poor service I received today, I was reluctant to give the non mandatory 10% tip. After she forcefully told me that I HAD to pay the tips, I told her I would go back to my table to get some smaller change for tips but she continued to show hostile attitude towards me. In the end, I gave her the 10% tips but I am furious of the attitude she showed towards me. I will not be coming back. overall: customer service: 1/10 (read above for my experience) food: 8/10 (tasty and good price) environment: 5/10 (broken chairs, wobbly tables) read more

So so bubble tea place. Service is slow, but it convenient I suppose for being in the neighbourhood.
