Chain Taiwanese and boba place. This location is on Kingsway close to Metrotown. Small-ish space that has an odd, angular shape. It's been there for a while so starting to look a bit dated. Doing good business on a Saturday night, although we didn't have to wait for a table. We were not super hungry so just went for drinks and appetizers. They have a pretty sizable sweet drinks menu, with a lot of choices for toppings. I got the melon slush with half sugar. It was plenty sweet, and has the nice honeydew melon taste. For appetizers, we got the Taiwanese style chicken nuggets, and a mixed plate of braised meat and proteins. The chicken nuggets taste as expected, got good flavor, and was tender and not dry. For the braised plate, we got sliced pig ear, fish cake and sliced beef shank. I liked the flavors, and the beef shank was tender. Overall two drinks with two appetizer was like $43 before tips, so not expensive. Solid place to go for some inexpensive Taiwanese food and sweet drinks. read more

OG Taiwanese style Bubble tea restaurant. Anytime I'm craving popcorn chicken, especially late at night, I remember Bubble World. They offer so many different dishes (hot pot bowls, stir fry noodles, hot and cold appetizers, etc.) plus an extensive drink selection. One of my guilty pleasure meals from here is their popcorn chicken, intestine soup noodle, and their Hokkaido milk tea. The popcorn chicken is always made fresh and food portions are generous at the price point offered. There's a reason why Bubble World still maintains a number of locations throughout the Lower Mainland and business is steady. Service is prompt and decent too. read more

Ordered the deep fried squid tentacles and deep fried fish filet. Squid tentacles were so chewy - perhaps the squid tube is better. The fish filet was a huge portion and well fried. It came with some delicious sauce with it as well! read more

Been a while since Ive been here. I came for a weekday lunch. Got their lunch special. basically you pick from a list of discounted appetizers and mains with a few add-on options. Then you can add any drink for $3 off. I got the fried chicken appy, 3 sauce chicken on rice with add-on marinated egg, and got a tea drink. Food was fine. 3.5/5. Nothing special, nothing exceptional, but nothing bad. Food lacked seasoning but also was a little too salty. Drink was ok, 3/5. Total bill with a tip was just under $30 but to their credit, its a lot of food. Easily can share between 2 people for a lighter lunch. Service was fine, place is clean enough. There is metered street parking in the area. I would say they are a solid 3.5/5 overall. Food is ok, not spectacular, drinks are average at best, and value isnt great but not horrible. Cant give half stars, and theyre not 4 star level. read more

My favourite go-to to order here is the boneless fried chicken. This place is always crowded, service is always quick though. Plenty of seating. Street paid parking read more

I made the mistake of adding too much boba to my mango slush drink because it is so good. Genuinely so good. I'm saying this as someone who doesn't really like sweet drinks (although i love boba). I ordered the no sugar option, so i was worried it would be sour, but the boba made it the perfect amount of sweetness! Not too sweet, just how I like it~ The same goes for the honey lemon tea. Their takoyaki is also the best. Service was fast. Worth my money. I love balls read more

I accidentally ordered a wrong item from the Uber Eat and I was charged with the cancellation fee. I appreciate that after I explained to the restaurant about what had happened they were still willing to make the canceled order for me as the refund could not be made from Uber Eat. The staff provided a warm understanding and supportive service. I really appreciate that. read more

Went there for a late dinner, the Great service staff was friendly and a huge selection of food and drinks.

I have probably visited this place over 20 times over the past several years - You can't go wrong with the Salty Peppery options (Chicken Nuggets & Squid Tentacles are my personal Favs) Marinated Trio in my opinion is super tasty and a great value for dollar - This was my first time trying their Hot Pot options - I found that the portion was larger than expected and I would easily be able to share this with my significant other :) - next time it will be one pot for the two of us - Flavor wise - I didn't find it that spicy - but the food was still good - just not as hot as I'd like it , but mind you I have a high spice tolerance - so this might be able to hit the spot for the regular spice addicts :) Unfortunately, they lost my attention for the drink - I tried the love bird (Coffee & Tea Mix Milk Tea) - I had it once before and it was great , but this time around both the Coffee and Tea tastes were lackluster - in fact - I couldn't even taste the sugar - So I'd advise to make wise decisions in regards to drinks - as they tend to be hit and miss - read more

There isn't much good to say. I stopped here with a friend for BBT take out. Our bbt batista was smoking next to us by the entrance, and didn't even wash or sanitized his hands after his break. Besides our drinks were extremely sweet. I'd say about 80% sweet. I endlessly poured water to reduce sweetness and my friend trashed her bbt. Yuck. I thought I was having a diabetic bubble tea. Please AVOID this place. read more

I do not recommend ordering their Beef Brisket on Rice dish. As you can see from the image, there's barely any brisket. It's mainly rice and sauce. Having said that, their Taiwanese chicken nugget rice platter and their traditional stew pork are solid selections. Portions are not stingy. I politely let the staff know that the portion was small in which she replied with "that's normal" and walked off. For the rest of our meal we received the cold shoulder. read more

Terrible service by Yan, who's not only unprofessional but a liar to boot it off. I ordered through DoorDash and my delivery person claimed that Bubble World was sold out of a drink, which they refunded to me. I called the store, and Yan told me she was in charge of my order and refunded the money to me. In fact, she claimed to have confirmed it. When I asked why she didn't call me to tell me the item I ordered was sold out, she claimed she did. Which she didn't because I never recieved a call from her. Then she changed had story after I told her, and said that the number wasn't "my number"? Huh? I'm not even sure what she was talking about? So she lied about calling me and then retracted her story. Fast forward to this morning and I still haven't gotten a refund. I call the store again and an employee now claims that they can't even do credit refunds, and I have to call DoorDash. So in effect Yan lied to me AGAIN about refunding my money! What the fck!!!!! The employee who I spoke to, Ken, had HORRIBLE attitude and kept telling me to "calm down". Like what the fck, you guys literally lied about refunding my money and now you want me to "calm down"? I reported Bubble World to DoorDash and I will be posting reviews everywhere so people know how much of a scam this restaurant is. DO NOT ORDER. THEY WILL LIE TO YOU ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Also to the owner? Fire that lying clown Yan. It'll do you better in the long term. read more

Bubble World - Bubble tea!!! Blueberry slush, mango, taro, and Hokkaido milk tea. - Taiwanese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Bubble World is a popular Taiwanese restaurant with two locations (Richmond and Burnaby). Their formula is cheap savory eats (hot pot, snack foods, noodle soups) and a huge variety of desserts. Due to the proximity, we returned several times, largely attracted by the generous portion, delicious soft tofu and shaved ice with plentiful toppings, and the quick service. Our order: Condensed Milk Toast - $4.50. About a 15 minute wait but a large thick piece of toast is served covered in butter and condensed milk. It's actually really good. Soft Tofu with Red Bean and Grass Jelly - $5.50. At these prices, it's a generous portion and great for sharing. The ingredients taste freshly made and mix together well. Hot Tofu with Boba - $5.50. The nice thing about ordering anything is that you can add boba and fresh boba served warm is soft and delicious, although likely just empty carbs. Worth it. Overall, Bubble World is a popular dessert spot. It's more a 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up for the convenient location and stellar prices. Bubble World accepts cash only. read more

Used to love this place. Went in to order, had barely any people and waited almost one hour for three items and a bbtea. This is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone was ahead of me but my number was 69 and it was number 79 by now. They didn't care about the people who were there and was only taking Uber driver and skip the dishes. I would never come here again and waste my time. When I told her about my order it was like they totally forgot my order. Said it was going to take another 5 mins. Sorry you should be checking orders not letting someone wait one hour before you do that. This place used to be great but service is subpar now. Horrible experience. read more

This shop has been here for about 20 years, start with bubble tea only and now also serving food. I pass by today and bought a bubble tea, the menu selection they have stays same as 20 years ago, which would be a bit out dated compare to a lot of new shops, still taste good though, but I would prefer others than them. read more

Taro bubble tea yummy!! I've been coming here for years and thought I've written a review for this location but I guess I haven't. If you plan to come late night expect to wait to be seated. Lunch time or late afternoon is slower good time to go. I love their bubble tea I always get the taro slush with pearls (always with pearls!) and if not another great choices are lychee or coconut. Food is good especially for late midnight snacks, its greasy deep fried goodness. I usually get pepper chicken nuggets and squid feet or any of their combos are also good. And for dessert condense milk toast omg so good, just try it thank me later! Cash only!! read more

We had a dinner at Sushi Garden and decided to head over to Bubble World for a drink. This place seems to be always busy! Of coz, we could found the meter and parked without any problem on Monday night. I ordered my flavour drink - Black sesame milk tea with red beans, it was pretty good especially I asked for 1/2 sweet. My other gal friends drink was ok too. read more

Their milk tea here are quite different from the other places such as ShareTea, CoCo, or Gong Cha. They are heavier with more cream and contains more flavor. I actually like it because they do not taste watered down. read more

This place was renovated recently. The updates on the design and service layout were improved a lot. Now they have specific counter at the entrance to accomodate take-out customers and bill payments. This particular chain is very busy on late night weekends. One of my favorite here is bbq meat over rice(beef or pork), their hokkaido milk tea, and chicken nuggets. The bbq meat over rice is almost like a beef gyudon. Their chicken nuggets is one of the best you could get at any Taiwanese restaurants and it is one of their most popular. read more

Average bubble tea for the GVR. The only good thing about this place on the weekend is that it's the only place that is open till 3am. One more thing, you know this is a Chinese place as it is CASH ONLY! And another piece of info, don't bring your birthday cake here to celebrate someone's special day, this little place has the nerve to charge an additional 15%, what for? For spending more time with your cake taking up a spot at the place. read more

One of the thing, I love about this place is that it opens quite late. I was still there at 2 am and they are still open yesterday. They don't rush people out. its close to metrotown. Bubble tea is pretty good. They do have limited choices on fresh fruits juice. I have been there many times and always love coming back. One thing is that its not easy to get a seat. They are always busy. read more

Stopped by for a snack with my friend. Ordered the blueberry milk with almond milk. Not bad, it wasn't too sweet but it was just ok. I ordered the salty pepper chicken nuggets, wonton in chilli sauce, and the five spice beef in Chinese pancake. The chicken nuggets are really good. It's crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and not too salty. That was probably the best one out of the three snacks I ordered. The wontons we're quite small and it honestly wasn't very spicy at all. It tasted a but sweet. The beef in the Chinese pancake was underwhelming as well. It was kind of small and the end pieces barely had any beef in it at all. Overall, food is alright, and service was pretty good. I would probably only come back if I'm craving some chicken nuggets. read more

Had their rolled pancakes and the deep frying makes the texture better than Peaceful restaurant although the filling was a bit scant. Dumplings are juicy and delicious. Chicken nuggets had good flavour but could use more crispiness. Yam fries were good but not their mustard-something sauce. Spicy beef noodle were okay, just lacking a little depth than some other ones I've had in other restaurants, maybe more sesame oil. Matcha and red bean with brown rice drink was a little too sweet for me. Overall good value. read more

When I think of Bubble World, the first thing that comes to mind is bubble tea. And if you go visit their Kingsway location in Vancouver, that's pretty much all you can get. However, if you travel east down Kingsway for a bit, you'll find their Metrotown location which also serves up classic Taiwanese fare. After a second failed attempt to visit nearby Chengdu Spicy Restaurant, I decided to cut my losses and try out this Bubble World location. They don't have a very large menu to pick from so I opted for the Traditional Stew Pork ($8.95 + $1.50 for rice) and added a Lemon Black Tea ($4.25) which was served in a large glass mug. The stewed pork dish included 6 smallish pieces of chunky and fatty pork served on top of some greens. While the pork wasn't super tender (like you'd find in a good mui choy kau yuk dish), it was still pretty good and included a couple of chili pieces which kicked things up a bit. The interior of this restaurant isn't very spacious and the Taiwanese pop music that they have playing in the background can get a bit loud. However, overall, it was a pretty good visit. read more

Food is but decent and the restaurant interior is nice. The staff seem to be very rushed and busy even though the restaurant was around half capacity when I went. The review would be higher but it seems a common theme in this restaurant as pointed out by other reviews is rude service. One of the waitresses were very rude and had a lot of attitude. When our food was ready she would dump the plate on our table and rush away without a word. When my table tried to order additional food she was annoyed gave a rude comment about how we didn't order on the first pass instead. Even when it was time to pay the bill I noticed a lack of a thank you, which I don't mind but as we were already being treated poorly it stood out. The other members of staff were nice but the waitress serving out table ruined our experience. The food is nothing special and the service is a big miss, I recommend visiting someone else. read more

Good thing I only ordered a bubble tea to go. While I was waiting I saw the guy eating food just before he made my bubble tea! It makes me wonder how clean and sanitary they are when it comes to prepping food. Not only was he eating food, he was only wearing one food prep glove on one hand while the other hand was bare. Something to think about before eating here. There's other bubble tea places to venture to. Not this one for sure! Tip: they only accept cash or debit. read more

With a side of plain noodle soup. Get that combo! read more

I used to love bubble world. It's alright now. My friend came back from a long trip without Asian food and I thought why not bubble world. Service was average. It took us about fifteen minutes until we got a glass of water after being seated. After that, they were a lot better about filling up our glasses. As for food, we got the deep fried calamari, a Taiwanese pancake, and a cup of passion fruit slush. I thought I'd love the Taiwanese pancake, but it just wasn't for me. I think it's the way they made their batter. The calamari was great though! It was crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside. As for the passion fruit slush, it was okay. I used to always come to bubble world for their bubble tea, but these didn't wow me. I definitely think it's a good place for late night eats! It doesn't break the bank and you'd be decently filled. P.S. It's cash only!!! read more

I was staying in a nearby hotel for a school trip and my group was tasting some bubble tea. After walking by MANY bubble tea places, many of them didn't seem up to par until we came across Bubble World! At first, I would have never thought to have put ice cream in bubble tea, but it was worth a shot. I ordered something mango-y with ice cream and boba. Let me just say: I WAS BLOWN AWAY! The taste was so rich and sweet. I had never tasted something like that before. After having that and returning home, going to my usual bubble tea place was disappointing after going to Bubble World. I know for sure that a couple a friends and I will be making a road trip up to Bubble World to try some new drinks!! read more

Been here a few times but 1st time post-COVID and came here for lunch. My daughter loves their beef noodle soup, the portions for food are "adequate" in comparison to their reasonable prices. We ordered the beef noodle soup, taiwanese chicken nuggets with rice, and a bubble tea. Place is clean and the server asked us to sanitize our hands upon entering. I had an issue with our server, she seemed upset at the get-go--short/curt attitude, from asking how many people (myself and my twelve year old), to taking our order and serving of food. I don't expect 5 star service, but her service was definitely sub-par, felt like she chucked the menus and food on the table. The sad thing is that she wasn't more pleasant until I started to answer her curtly and with the same RBF that she exhibited to us. Perhaps it was a bad day, but my favourite location for Bubble World remains the New West spot, and I'd rather go the slight distance further to get better service and a more pleasant experience. read more

This place is right under the building where I live. The bubble tea here is really good, lots of varieties, slushes, milk series, coffee series etc. The food is pretty good as well, standard taiwanese fare, beef soups, fried rice, chicken knuckles etc. It's clean and is a decent size. The service is hit and miss, the last time we where there was really good and other times it's the drop off the menu, take your order and that's it. It's open til like 2am and can get pretty busy. Overall a pretty good place for some bubble tea and a tasty bite. read more
