    Despite the negative reviews for Bubble Waffle Cafe, my experience with the food stall has been positive for the last dozen times I've been here. I've got to say that their egg waffles are my favourite item on their menu. The egg waffles I have had in the past were mushy, cold, or too dense. I find that the bubble waffles here were light and had a nice crunchy shell on the outside, making it a delicious snack. It seemed to have changed a bit from the last time I had visited them as I believe they used to add vanilla extract to the batter making the waffles smell and taste amazing. A good deal here is to get a bowl of noodles which is customizable in terms of the broth, toppings, and noodles as a bubble waffle is just $1 extra. The noodles is great, but not mind-blowing. I've also tried their Hainanese chicken with rice combo. It's more on the expensive side but it's worth it. The chicken is really silky and the rice was nicely done. It came with condiments such as sweet chilli sauce and green onion oil. The cold lemon tea was delicious and refreshing, an absolutely must-try for summer days.

    Came here for a SocialShopper coupon: "Authentic Hong Kong" Soup Noodles Set Meal for 2, Including Side Dish and Drinks. The deal is $14.50 with a supposed $27 value. There are definitely savings here since you choose your two noodles either from the mark-it-yourself menu, or any of the pre-set $7.29 bowls. You get two drinks, and one small side dish. Despite the place being called Bubble Waffle Café,you do not automatically get a bubble waffle but you can add it on for just $2, their special price for add-ons when you also purchase noodles. Super Hot Dry Noodle with Grilled Sausage and Fish Tofu (normal price $7.29) -Not "super" spicy-hot to start, but there's a hot aftertaste in your mouth. Thankfully the drinks are all cold. -Noodles look redder (due to sauce) than in the picture at the counter. Sausages were also more grilled (which I prefer). -Approximate amount of noodles is what you get in a packet of instant noodles. -Even without the coupon, price for portion felt okay and it was fairly tasty. Starbucks Grande-sized drinks. They are plastic-capped bubble-tea style, with a western astrology cartoon picture. We got Gemini and Aries. "Small Side Dish": Curry Fish Balls -Basically, fish balls (7?) tossed in curry sauce. Nothing too special here. -In retrospect I'd go with one of the other choices, though. Twisted potato (rotato!) would be the most fun. Don't worry about portion since it's all bound to be small. Chocolate Bubble Waffle ($2 with noodle order, $4 otherwise) -Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and pretty big -- about 75% bigger than a single waffle in one of those supermarket frozen food section packs. -Not super fun or tasty, to be honest. Maybe I should have tried the cheesecake one. -I wouldn't buy this for $4. Get it as an add-on if you really want it. Overall, the SocialShopper coupon is a good deal. Noodles are an OK value. Smaller portion than a pho bowl, but also cheaper and with more interesting taste options, so it evens out.

    It's been a while since I've been here so maybe the chef has changed or management. I used to live coming here as the standards are usually pretty good amongst the restaurants. I ordered a laksa noodle with pork jowl and cuttlefish balls. That's pretty much my usual order. Today's meal was subpar tbh. The flavour of the laksa wasn't as rich and flavourful as before and the quality of food seemed to have diminished a little since the last time. Could just have been an off day for them? I do see that they're always training new people at the till when I eat at crystal mall so maybe it's just a big turnaround of employees at the moment? I will be back as I do enjoy the food and it's a good deal for all the food but it won't be my first choice.

    Big city!

    Founds some bugs in my soup. I guess they like to serve extra protein with their noodles !

    This is located in the Crystal Mall food court. The Hainanese chicken is not the best. However, the value is there. The drink is a larger size than the Brentwood Town Centre location for the same price.

    Tom yum soup, lamb slices, and beef tripe. Hk style waffle and large iced lemon tea, less sweet.

    Bubble Waffle Cafe is a chain. There is one at Brentwood in Burnaby BC, one at Aberdeen Centre and one at Lansdowne Mall in Richmond BC, ubc has one, Surrey has one, and one in downtown Vancouver. They're all slightly different. This one at Crystal Mall offers large size drink at no extra cost, as some of the other places charge $0.50 for the large size drink. The downtown one has a set topping menu. Usually about $10 for a meal at all locations. Not bad.

    Bugs on the side of the bowl after I had finished most of the noodles... That was just a small glimpse of how many bugs there were.

    Best bubble waffle place I've been to so far. Chicken was delicious. Waffle was warm and plumed.

    We ordered from Vallarta's through UberEats, and while everything was packed nicely and securely -…read moreeverything was just meh. We ordered the fried tripe tacos, beef tongue tacos and cheese pupusa tonight and found the tripe taco to be the best choice; it had a nice flavour and texture to it, unlike the other things we ordered. The green sauce that came with the tacos were lacking something to it and the pupusa sauce was just disappointing- it felt like water pretending to be a sauce. The beef tongue tacos were ok: full of meat but lacking flavour. The pupusa was just sad as it was cold and flimsy. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend.

    A small rustic restaurant that brings you back to Mexico. Once you enters the door, you see decors…read moreand tables band chairs that reminds you those restaurants in Mexico town. There is no AC here but they do take credit card. We ordered an order for salsa and chips with a side of guacamole. The small guacamole costs almost $6. However, the chips is the kind of chips I have been searching for since my Los Cabos trip. We also ordered a pork soup. The pork soup is amazing. The meat is very tender and if you add the chips, lettuce and lime that comes with the soup, it brings the soup to the next level. The tacos doesn't come with any salsas but it is similar to the ones I had at the Los Cabos resort. We also ordered a dinner set. The food is quite good. I don't mind going back on a cool day but I do find that their food is on the more expensive side based on the portion and price of the food.
