They serve in big bowl. Lots of lettuce, moderate portion of sliced beef and beef tripe. Great thing was that the century egg was not over cooked and they gave you at least half of an egg. You definitely get your money's worth. I paid $10 including for tips and tax. If you ordered a hot drink $9 would be enough. The down part is parking. There is limited parking for this plaza and you should go after 7pm because that is when those reserved stalls expire to open for more parking stalls. They do ticket cars here. So, it's not a good idea to risk it. Ambience: Clean Seating/Wait time: Tried a Saturday nights, expect to wait 30+ mins. Came here for a Sunday and it was not busy. Dress Code: No shoes, no shirt, no service! Crowd: Anyone Meal: Noodle Combo $7.50+$1.00 (cold drink) Parsley and Century Egg Fish Soup Sliced Beef and Beef Tripe Milk Tea (Cold) Ramen Value: 5/5 read more

Not bad because they offer groupons quite often but the wait time is often CRAZY. Had the green tea bubble waffle, flavour very subtle but passable (this was at crystal mall btw). Original bubble waffles are pretty good as well! Noodles are cheaper here than other places but I prefer deer garden. read more

Bubble Waffle - Green Tea Bubble Waffle - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I have no idea how this place stays in business. Just stand and observe how they function. I waited 40+ minutes for 3 orders of bubble waffles, and it's obvious they're trying to make too many waffles too fast. The waffle iron doesn't have enough time to get hot so they end up throwing away half of what they make, and you ending up eating Pam cooking spray without it setting (on the iron). Combine that, the cashier's rude and seems to be the M.O. Of many in this food court. read more

Great place, friendly people. Always go here to order food. However I notice the cashier isn't the best. My male friend bought a drink there and after an hour he came back to order food. He notice their was a combo with the drink for free and she gave him a discount. I ask for the same thing and she wouldn't give it to me....even if I bought a drink and came for it. Also normally you would get a free drink for every combo. Today I ask for the lamb soup with ice lemon coke and she wanted to charge my female friend & I...80 more cents for it. I'm not sure if the rule change or something but so far...these past 2 days, aren't as good. read more

Bubble Waffle - #6 Lamb Combo - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I like how you can create you own noodle dish by choosing the soup base, the type of noodle, and your choice of 2 toppings. You can upgrade this by getting a combo with a hot/cold drink and a choice of bubble waffles, hk waffles and deep fried chinese buns. This all comes up to $8.95. Pretty good value. I was never much of a food court diner, but this day I needed a quick bite before heading downtown. I got the laksa soup base with crystal noodles, beef brisket and slices of lamb. For the drink I got a coffee and milktea with a side of bubble waffles. The laksa tasted good. It was spicy, sour and creamy. They gave generous amount of noodles, meat and chinese cabbage. The only thing I disliked was that there was too much chinese cabbage. I much prefer the regular laksa with the bean sprouts. I didn't get any of those here. The coffee and milktea drink was pretty good. I can taste the coffee and the milktea that was used to make it. Right amount of sugar content as well. The best part of this meal is the bubble waffle. It was crispy on the outside and soft with a bit of a chew on the inside. I will definitely come back to try the other menu items and get their bubble waffles, of course! read more

Bubble Waffle - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I have been going to all bubble waffle stalls and cafe in Richmond and by far this location is the worst of all. Being the first pioneer location in Richmond, I was very disappointed when I found out that the owner have changed. Not only they are not offering any discount for online order (used to be 10% off for online order), they also do not allow you to redeem the loyalty stamp card for a bubble waffle on weekends now. The food quality has gone down hill compared to before especially the dry noodle. I think the Indomie Mie Goreng instant noodle taste even better. No discount, no redeeming stamp cards on weekend, so why would I come here? I will take my business somewhere else given that there are so many bubble waffles location out there that offers discount for online order, give out loyalty stamp for purchase and allow to redeem it 7 days a week. If you are in Aberdeen food court, take your money somewhere else. Plenty of other food court stalls that serves delicious food for the same price. read more

Great prices & customizable soup noodles with choice of many different broths/noodles/toppings for 7.50, plus you can add on a regular flavor bubble waffle for $1 with any soup noodle! I ordered the pumpkin and tomato fish soup base with rice noodles & fish/fish tofu - the broth was extremely good, tangy with tomato and rich, slightly creamy from the white fish and not fishy tasting at all. Delicious - I recommend trying it! Hint - don't order cabbage as your topping because they all come sprinkled with some cooked napa cabbage. read more

If I'm looking for a quick bite in Richmond, BC this is definitely one of the places I'll come to. Situated on the top of a mall in a food court stand is Bubble Waffle. The name can be quite deceiving because they sell more than just bubble waffles but I can tell that they pride themselves in their waffles. (Which in my opinion, the bubble waffles are okay but not fantastic.) With almost every order, they have the option to add an order of waffles for $1. This time around my friends and I ordered a fair amount of food and the cost came to a total of around $30CAD. That's pretty reasonable for 4 full dishes, 3 drinks and a bubble waffle. The service isn't the greatest and the workers definitely had an attitude. It is food court food so really what do you expect. For the amount of food and the cost I think it is worth it. read more

If you're patient enough to deal with slow service and Chinese people who dunno how to line up in lines, then you'll be rewarded with some pretty damn good egg waffles and milk tea. The egg waffles were crispy on the outside and soft, slightly chewy on the inside. We also ordered a couple of flavors like green tea and sesame. While the flavored ones were good, nothing beat the original. The original's custard-y flavor of eggs and vanilla made it irresistible. Their milk tea is pretty good too, and they give you a large cup for just $2. It's not as bold as the milk tea at McNoodle House, but it got the job done. It still had good richness and a noticeable tea flavor. Be sure to order it with less ice and less sweetness. Compared to anything in California, their milk tea is still pretty great. read more

Judging by the constant lineups at this place no matter what time of day you know this is a favorite with people at this food fair. Their formula of custom made to order noodle soups, tasty sides, and low price combos ($7-8) works. While I would say Deer Garden serves up better noodle soups you can't fairly compare the two as one is a sit down restaurant while this is fast food (well, 5-10 minutes to make your food). Having said that I haven't been disappointed yet with their noodle soups. The soup bases have enough depth and don't taste MSG-like. The bubble waffles are good. I'd rate their curry fish balls as average. The do a pretty decent job at their drinks. My fav here is their cold Yin Yang (coffee and tea). Worth checking out if you're at the food fair. read more

This is definitely my favorite bubble waffle / Hong Kong snack restaurant. The wait for food is a little long, which is understandable because of their popularity and number of customers. I ordered the rice rolls with shumai and curry fish balls, and their famous bubble waffle. They both taste just like the ones in Hong Kong! The portions were huge, and I love that I can get bubble waffle for just $1 when I order another menu item. Unlike other bubble waffle places, their bubble waffle is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and never soggy! Will be back again when I'm in Richmond! read more

Bubble Waffle - Yum! Rice Rolls with Shu Mai and Curry Fish Balls + $1 Bubble Waffle! - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Located in the food court, this place offers Hong Kong Style snacks. From fish sui mai, fried shrimp balls, to stinky tofu, there is quite a variety. Not all snacks are Chinese, apparently they also offer a "Korean Twisted potato". I came here because I had a hankering for bubble waffles. These come in 4 flavors, and I went with the regular. Even at 2:30 pm on a Sunday, there is a long line. You get assigned a number when you place your order. There was about a 5 minute wait to get to place my order, and a 15 minute wait for my bubble waffle. I had high expectations. It was served in a paper bag. It smelled delicious. I expected a crisp snap as I reached to break off my first piece. There was no crisp snap. It was a tear. OK. The center was not airy but chewy. Flavor: OK. I've had the best in Hong Kong and I think this place has a ways to go before they can say they've perfected this. So it's not HK, but sadly I won't go out of my way to return for this. read more

Bubble Waffle - Not cooking well, still iced inside, cannot eat any more！ - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

A hidden gem in the food court of Aberdeen Centre. The Bubble Waffle is light and fluffy with a explosion of sweetness once consume. An order usually takes 7-12 mins, but you can not rush made to order goodness. It's worth the wait and I can look forward to visit this place again when I am in Vancouver. read more

Avoid this place like the plague. Ate here many many times over the years. Recently found a hair in my bubble waffle. Hair stuck in between the bubble waffles. Really disgusting. To top it off there were little black bugs in my noodle soup. This place needs to be closed down and cleaned. Never going back again, gonna be going to the metro one probably. read more

No doubt their noodle combo appears to be a good deal. But I am going to rate them separately. Waffle: 5 stars if it is fresh made just when you place order. Usually it is not. Milky tea: I always up size my drink and they just put more ice cube to fill up the difference. Such a lazy bad practice. I ordered take out but I ate it at food court tee hee. They probably think ice cube will melt by the time I start eating. WRONG. The amount of ice cube they put in is ridiculous. You are better off asking no ice or less ice. Noodle soup and all the rest: not sure about the hype of their noodle soup. Barely enough meat for two topping combo, just butt load of veggies. If you see the whole combo at one price then it looks good deal. But if you look only at the noodle soup it is nothing to write home about. Considering how low cost the milky tea and waffle are ($1 at best) the noodle soup just not worth around $6 or $7 combo price. read more

I tried Bubble waffle a couple of times. Not bad seems ok for me. Line ups are pretty busy. The best thing are there waffles. Once or twice I think my waffles were pre cooked not made to order. Otherwise foods ok. read more

It is unfathomable how Vancouver has never seen any good HK waffle vendors up until now. Many of them have come and gone over the years because none of them were any good. Eventually I surrendered to the reality that the only way to have the good stuff is to fly back to the motherland until all of a sudden -- BOOM!!! Bubble Waffle popped up out of nowhere. HALLELUJAH!!!! =) Yup...it really is that tasty. The sweet waffle batter is characterized by an insanely intense egg flavour -- exactly the way it should be. It comes in two forms -- same batter but shaped with different waffle irons: 1) bubble waffle - pleasant light crisp on the outside; slightly moist, tender and soft on the inside. It is shaped like a sheet of little balls, or bubbles, which makes for a convenient finger snack., offered in several flavours: original, black sesame, green tea, strawberry and chocolate, if I remember correctly. Highly recommend the original and black sesame. 2) waffle sandwich: conventionally shaped, with a delicious peanut butter and jam filling. Must be some kind of special concoction because it does not taste like any old peanut butter and jam spread done at home..... I go there only for the waffles because everything else there is very average, in my opinion. If you are hungry for a full meal, an order of bubble waffles can be added to a soup noodle combo for merely an extra $1, which is a decent deal when they charge $3.75 a la carte. Besides the namesake items, they also sell traditional HK street vendor snacks like curry fish balls on skewers, rice rolls, milk tea and such. I'd pass on these other items. Just beware that service would likely be slow during lunch peak hours, delays usually because of the waffles since many people order the noodle/ waffle combo. Avoid it during lunch if you are short on time. Oh.....and these guys offer a stamp card for the bubbles, like coffee frequent buyer cards. Buy 5 & the 6th is free. read more

This is an inexpensive option for a bite or drink in the food court. I like their honey lemon drink. Great price for the large size and their original bubble waffle does the trick to satisfy your bubble waffle fix. Ordered their new item of HK rolls with curry fish ball and sui mai. The food is filling and for $1 more you can get a bubble waffle. Their fish balls are decent but the sui mai is no where near a real sui mai but the price can't be beat. read more

Best egg waffle ever. You can actually taste egg in the waffle and the texture has a slightly crunch exterior and a chewy inside. Other "gai dan jai" places I've been to just pale in comparison. You can find the Bubble Waffle stall in the Aberdeen mall food court. While this place does have an extensive menu with a kitchen in the back, there's always someone manning the egg waffle station, crafting these gai dan jais to perfection. read more

Waited 20min for food at a food court was hilarious. Everyone was complaining for the long wait. Other ppl were complaining wrong order was given. Last but not least, my hot and sour noodle was cold. This place is just a mess. read more

Bubble Waffle - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Whenever I have a meeting in Richmond, I always end up going here for lunch! It's delicious and such a good deal! I always get the Combo 2 which includes a hot or cold drink, either an original bubble waffle or hk style waffle (waffle with peanut butter and condensed milk), and a noodle soup with 2 toppings. All this for $8.35 (includes tax!!) While not as big as deer garden, I feel like the quality is pretty similar! They have a WAY bigger selection of toppings though (they have lamb!!!) and there's no extra charge for getting a cold drink like some other places. The combo is totally worth it because you get the bubble waffle, which on it's own is already $3.95. If you go during the meal time rushed, the wait is pretty long - maybe 10-15 minutes? But honestly, I would say it takes that long if you're sitting down at a restaurant anyways. Also, the bubble waffles are fresher when it's busy - you're more likely to get a pack where they're actually warm. If you go during the off time, the waffles are premade so they aren't warm anymore. But the overall texture is surprisingly not compromised! I love the waffles here because they're crispy but still chewy and soft, also not too sweet but still has the correct flavour! I always get the original flavour when I come. read more

I'm rating the Bubble Waffle booth inside the food court at Aberdeen Centre mall. Hope this is the right one. Their lemon tea is good and makes a cheap refreshing drink for $2. The only annoying thing is the drink also comes with lots of lemon seeds. Their noodle dishes are good. The Special Swiss sauce instant noodle is a sweet sauce dish. The Indonesian instant noodle is spicy but flavorful. Also tried their noodle combo - parsley fish and century egg soup + instant noodle + pork blood + pig skin. Their sauce or soup noodles are around the $6 range. There's always a line-up at this booth so I know their food is fresh, but it's not the place to buy food if you are in a hurry. The line up can range from a few minutes to 20 minutes during lunch or dinner time. I will try their bubble waffles another time and do a future review about those. read more

Bubble Waffle - The Cumin squid is sweet and slightly spicy, it smells great. The milk teas are so-so, go for lemon tea instead. - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

the noodle soup combo was really only so-so... my soup was very tasteless and the noodles were brittle? The texture was very soft and breaks apart as i used my chopsticks to get them. However the snacks were excellent! The curry fish ball, the texture and the spiciness were superb and then there was the egg waffle, it was 11/10!! read more

Probably one of the best place to eat bubble waffles!!! The Con is the waiting and the line up. Avoid times where they are busy due to the rush in making your orders. Rush and busy makes you a sloppy watery soggy waffles. Usually I order before the herds of orders during lunch or after meal times to get the best crunchy and tasty original bubble waffles. read more

**Disclaimer: This review is for their bubble waffle only** Anytime I'm in Richmond, I stop by to get a matcha bubble waffle. It is the best bubble waffle I've tried everywhere except Asia. What makes their bubble waffle good? Taste: The green tea flavor really comes through, which is not the case for other bubble waffle places. I've also tried original (good) and black sesame (tasted strictly like sesame seeds - not what I expected, but not bad.. I had the black sesame bbt flavor in mind). All are not overly sweetened. Texture: Crunchy on the outside, soft, moist and chewy on the inside. Freshness: Always made to order. This stand is one of the more popular ones in Aberdeen Center. I can always expect at least a 20 minute wait. I have yet to try their food because there's so many delicious eats in Richmond, but will definitely give it a try when I'm up there for more than a weekend. read more

Ordered cheesecake bubble waffle, it came out cold and has no cheesecake flavor at all! Asked for another one, waited another 15 minutes, this one come out warm but still no cheesecake flavor!

Lansdowne mall bubble waffle cafe is the worst. The server is rude. The food that you ordered from the menu will not include the ingredients in the menu. When you order cold drink without ice, they only give you half filled the cup. I try to ask the server there, they said customer will only get half cup if they order cold drink without ice. The kitchen there at the food court is filthy and people serve food without wearing clean gloves. It is the bubble waffle cafe at lansdowne mall richmond read more

The drinks are spot on and so is the bubble waffle. However, the wait is practically unbearable and also pretty disorganized on a Saturday afternoon. I guess they skip numbers due to what you order being available but it makes for a lot of nervous people crowding around waiting for your order. It took at least half an hour for my waffle and 2 drinks. I will come back but either when it's less crowded or I will time it right and order it then do the waiting while eating my lunch! read more

Tip: get a combo with their fish noodle soup, it comes with a drink and a waffle for cheap. read more

Bubble Waffle - Bubble waffle and lemon tea - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

There hasn't been a lot of really good bubble waffles lately, until now. Recently opened in Aberdeen Mall. Bubble Waffle () offers delicacies served by street vendors, food carts in Hong Kong. Curry fishballs, mixed rice canonoli, fish siu mai dumplings, etc. In fact the line ups here were nuts! We waited over 30 mins and still people were pouring in. Bubble waffles 3.75 Crispy on the outside, warm and tender on the inside. Quite opposite from the stale ones over at Rainbow Cafe (Parker Place). It is moist and is complete with a fragrant egg and milkiness. Also comes in other flavours: Strawberry, sesame, green tea, chocolate and cheesecake. Hong Kong Rice Roll Combo: Curry fishballs, rice canonoli and fish siu mai 5.50 had a lot of spice and were quite bouncy. Fish Siu Mai weren't as good as I imagined, but still decent. 4 fish balss, 4 siu mais and lots of rice canonolis. Compared to 3.50 for just 6 fish siu mais this was clearly the better deal. read more

So many options are available for noodles and for dessert! Around 8 bucks, you get a bowl of noodles, a drink, and dessert. You can fully customize your noodle soup which is so rad. I picked this one fish ball which was like a Ha Gao at dim sum, it was sort of shaped like a breast/nipple. It was beyond delicious and i can't wait to try out some other "balls". read more

Can't even fake this review if I wanted to... There was a piece of hair in my bubble waffle and it was DANGLING off of that piece of hair.(refer to pictures) Another occasion, which was when completely made me stop coming to this dirty place was when I discovered 2 bugs mid-meal. This is disgusting and it's not just once this place showed evidence of unhygienic practice. As much as I loved this place before, I will NEVER be back. read more

Glad they take credit card since other places here don't. Wife was craving Hong Kong street food. Ordered the Hong Kong style rice roll. Was drowned in sauce but fulfilled her nostalgia.

I was really hungry and decided to go to the food court to get some plain rice rolls with peanut sauce. It's a simple meal under $5 but that's how I like it. Rice rolls were hot, and the sauces were tasty! I love that they don't skimp on the food. However, the front staff can be friendlier and make eye contact with their customers. One of the front staff was watching a show/movie on her phone while waiting to call on people when food was ready. I asked for a fork and the woman touched the tines of the fork and threw it on my tray. Yikes! I think that they can improve on staff productiveness and hygiene. read more

Sometimes when I'm walking around the mall, I get hungry. But not enough to order a whole meal and that's why this became one of my faves. Great snack option & not too filling. Price is good & cheap unlike the usual night market pricings. Their snacks taste great and never disappoints! read more
