A few minutes away from Columbia and New West SkyTrain station. The food is consistent across all their locations. I always order my favorite hot malt milk tea here. I'm posting this review because the woman that works here as a server and hostess is just very nice and provides super fast service. Very friendly and helpful. There's free WiFi and lots of seating too, big windows so it's bright and it's a good place to work and eat or study. It's my first time here and I'll come back! read more

Bubble World - Hot malt milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

It's sad to see the Richmond location close recently, but we're so glad the New Westminster location is still going strong! We absolutely love their menu dedicated to authentic Taiwanese cuisine. Highly recommend the Taiwanese Chicken -- it's perfectly crispy and seasoned! The personal hot pots are another highlight: beautifully presented, rich in flavour, and a true comfort meal. Their bubble tea is always our favourite. It's also a great spot to dine with non-Asian friends who want to explore Taiwanese flavours. Our all-time favourite choices for individual hot pots: * Pork Blood & Intestine in Spicy Hot Pot (麻辣鍋) - A bold and spicy option for adventurous eaters. * Milky Seafood Hot Pot (牛奶海鮮鍋) - Creamy and packed with seafood goodness. * Laksa Surf'n'Turf Hot Pot (喇沙海陸鍋) - Perfect balance of spice and richness. Snacks and bubble tea are always top-notch here! Some of our must-try favourites include: * Fried Squid Feet (魷魚鬚) * Pineapple Shrimp Balls (鳳梨蝦球) * Fried King Oyster Mushroom (杏鮑菇) * Salty Peppery Chicken Nuggets (鹽酥雞) The prices are reasonable, making it an awesome spot for meeting friends or group dining. Bubble World New West is a gem we keep coming back to! Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 4/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 per person Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Street parking Tips: * Can add a drink to make a combo for an extra charge. * Serve bento with drink for $14.95 from Monday to Friday on take-out orders. * Have a varieties dishes and drinks.

Bubble world is so comforting and classic. You always know what you're gonna get! The five spice beef pancakes, wonton in chili oil and the salt and peppery chicken nuggets with rice is my go to. Always fast, great service and friendly folks working. I usually go to the Metrotown location but this one is so much easier to park! I might switch spots :) read more

Bubble world is quite nostalgic as it's one of the first bubble tea shop I remembered going to as a kid growing up in Vancouver. Their bubble tea offerings are more standard than those specialty BBT shops nowadays but I think that's why I love them so much, nothing really has changed all that much since I was young. They are one of VERY few bbt shops that offer wheat germ milk tea, a malty-wheaty milk tea, which is my ULTIMATE go-to. Another must order here in terms of food is their spicy beef noodle soup. Their soup is nice and flavourful, good amount of spice, and quite big, great value! My fiancé go-to's are their baked fish on rice and their salty peppery chicken. New west location is much better than Coquitlam IMO. read more

Had dinner with other 3 friends at this location and we we're happy with our experienced. The restaurant is not very busy for dine-in but very busy with mobile order pickup. The place was huge and cozy. Staff are friendly and acknowledged you very quick when you needed something. All the foods we've ordered are very good. The squid tentacles and beef noodles are my favorite and of course the bubble tea. read more

Mostly anyone who loves bubble tea is probably familiar with Bubble World. I was invited to the New Westminster location and the dishes that I tried didn't disappoint. My sister and I especially enjoyed the beef soup. The soup is seasoned well but the beef is the highlight. It was so tender. We also liked the salt and pepper chicken nuggets. They were crispy, delicious and they were not greasy at all. They have tons of bubble tea to choose from and I think their bubble teas are cheaper compared to others but the taste and quality of their drinks can compete with the more expensive ones that I've tried. My sister had the green tea with cream foam and she loved it. I had the pina colada which is so refreshing especially with the additional toppings, of jelly, boba, and pudding. Also, they are one of the few bubble tea shops that still have the coffee jelly topping. They let us taste different toppings and we loved them. The manager mentioned that their pudding topping is made from scratch. If you are in the New West area, try this place. It's a short walk from the train station. read more

Great food with a wonderful service from Allin and her staffs. Very nice ambiance too. Kept coming back to this location because of all those mentioned above. Thank you. Finally, a chinese restaurant with service. read more

The nicest service I've had in a long time. Walked in with a sleeping toddler and was treated so nice. So accommodating. The server was the sweetest. Chicken Currey, the sweet toast & the bubble teas were great too. read more

If you miss the food in Southeast Asia, this is probably one of the places to head to for something close to it. I love the chicken nugget (or popcorn chicken as called in Singapore). Deep fried and crispy, it goes very well with the house garlic sauce. I also like the simple noodle soup with minced meat and egg. This place will be perfect if they also serve chili like those found in Asia. This will be one of my regular places when I have craving for Taiwanese style noodle soup and fried chicken nuggets. read more

I'm a big fan of this Bubble World location. The parking situation is slightly better here, especially late at night. It's also less crowded and quieter. I've never been disappointed with the food here (or any Bubble World location for that matter). The food is always consistent, arrives quickly and offer good value for the price. I'm a huge fan of the salty peppery chicken nuggets, but so far everything I've tried has been great. I find the service here better than the Metrotown location. We are always greeted and seated promptly, and our orders were taken quickly. Will continue to visit frequently! Open until midnight is a plus too! read more

Disclaimer: This review is limited to just the quality of the bubble tea. We didn't try any food options at the restaurant, and just ordered take out for the drinks. My family and I drove to Vancouver all the way from Southern California, and back home we call our bubble tea "boba" so the change in language was definitely very interesting. I've visited some of the best bubble tea spots in SoCal so my standards for bubble tea are pretty high... Bubble world was my introduction to Canadian "bubble tea." It was the nearest bubble tea spot near my cousin's place in New Westminster so we decided to give it a shot. They have a pretty roomy space and a very wide selection of drinks. I was actually surprised at how many drinks they had to offer compared to most other shops that I've been to back home. They even had Papaya Milk Tea, which I've never heard of before. Initially, I wanted to try out their green milk tea, but I ended up ordering their Osmanthus Oolong - one of my all time favorite flavors back home. I was surprised they had that option. I was so excited to try their drinks! I gotta admit though, I was a little disappointed with everything. Their Osmanthus Oolong tasted so plain, almost like the standard "gas station" black tea. The worst part was the quality of their pearls. They we're not chewy at all, and I bit through them so easily. They felt more like a sticky mush, than a chewy treat. Their pearls even had this strange "sour" aftertaste. The real test was trying out their original milk tea. My brother ordered it and I took quite a few sips to try it out. Their milk tea tasted nothing like anything I've had before - in a bad way. You couldn't taste any hint of tea at all, and it felt like all I was drinking was milk. For a place that specializes in bubble tea, I expected so much more. Maybe their food tastes better? Maybe I'll have to try out their other flavors? After my first experience, I don't plan on giving it a second chance. read more

One of my favorite places for bubble tea, well fresh fruit slush in my case. Nice atmosphere for a group gathering, or checking out your phone with the house wifi. Oh and be sure to try salty chicken balls (yup they are a thing) read more

Omg this was amazing ! This was by far the best bubble tea I have ever had. My daughter and I had Tara root slush with pearl. So glad my daughter showed me this place. Loved it! Excellent service! Great Covid protocols! Definitely can't wait to go there again! It was the best! read more

Their bubble tea is quite powdery, which you can taste. Not the best bubble tea, but definitely passable. The food at Bubble Word surpasses the quality of their drinks. Their Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken is one of my favourites, I have been getting that for years. It's perfect for a small warm snack while enjoying a sweet drink. read more

Local resident to the area. And I almost always get my Bobba from Bubble World. On a few occasions the pearls can be off, but honestly very rare. Soooo many flavours to choose from. From chocolate, to taro, fruit, milk and slush options. They got it all, and most have been great. Another perk: they open until super late. And that's always a plush for the late night Bobba wants read more

mmm, since over 15 years ago, I think I still enjoy Bubble World since its pretty standard across the board, and the prices aren't too expensive. I usually go for my milky green tea, but decided to try a taro oreo slush for $5. If definitely had oreos in there, but, the taro was pretty weak compared to a normal taro BBT *weep*. We also shared a condensed milk toast, though this time, it was a bit more buttery, and less sweet milky goodness on it. All in all, it cost $14 for 2 BBT & milk toast, is relatively close to my home, and I don't think I've ever had problems with them. I *think* their take away menu is slightly cheaper? Will take a look next time. BTW, there is a free parkade behind Bubble World, you gotta go down the alley way, and the door from inside the lot leads right inside. Debit & Cash only. read more

Got the raspberry slush ($5.50 after tax). You get a huge glass, it was tasty and I did like that it had real raspberries. I usually don't care for cold drinks, and although you do get your money's worth, I don't care for it enough to get it again. I'd most likely try a different flavour, but not any time soon. read more

I wish yelp gave us the ability to rate service and food separately. It would allow me to paint a more accurate picture of my experiences here. 1 Star for service 4 Star for food. The service here is awful. If I were generous I would describe it as cold and indifferent. I've had the hostess walk away from my date and I without saying a word after asking for a table of two, servers who make it feel like you're imposing on them when you ask questions about the menu, and I've watched food go cold in the pass while they've chatted on the phone or fiddled with cutlery. You are made to feel like you're a minor irritation in their day. When the food eventually makes it out to you, it's pretty good. The seasonal sauted veg, 5 spice beef rolls in Chineese pancake and the fried chicken are all stand out dishes. read more

Tried ordering a snack and a drink on a Thursday night, as website says they open until 12am. Called and no one picked up-went straight to fax and assumed someone was paying for food. Called another two or three times and there was no answer, so I just decided to visit the restaurant. Only when I got there, did I realize that it was closed. Quite disappointed. Otherwise, food is good. read more

Best bubble tea at 5$ for a smoothie. Most places at minimum of 7$. Sure there's some weird drinks with syrups and junk but they inform you of all the ingredients when asked instead of rolling their eyes at you. The staff and always very kind and informative. The food looks great but sadly I can't eat there. read more

Located in downtown New Westminster, this Bubble World location is very similar to all it's other counterparts: decent food, wide selection of drinks and mediocre service. The interior is spacious and good for groups. But street parking outside is kind of limited, so be wary. Also, it's paid parking until 8pm everyday. If you've been to any other Bubble World (or any other bubble tea restaurants) the menu is basically the same. Chicken nuggets with rice, beef brisket noodle soup, dumplings, condensed milk toast, etc. The waitress forgot 2 of our drinks, but she was able to figure it out because we kept giving her glances. The restaurant closes at 12am on weekends, and by the time 11:30pm rolled around, she gave bills to every table (quite abrupt) and told us to pay. I guess they needed to reconcile their till? Anyway, not my first choice of bubble tea places. But if my friends decided to eat here before catching a movie, I wouldn't hate it. read more

Great bubble tea and great food! Staff were super nice! I recommend the teriyaki hot plate and the honeydew milk tea.

Bubble World, New Westminster edition! You've been to the Metrotown location, now how does this one stack up? Marginally better I say. The food's better, and so is the service. I prefer the layout of this one as well. I ordered the stew pork (dong po rou.) Not bad for a chain! Definitely stick with the classics though: S&P chicken, fried squid, etc. AND...the seats aren't tattered (like the ones at Bubble World Metrotown.) read more

I like this Bubble World considerably more than the one at Metrotown. It's surprisingly nice inside - spacious, with lots of booths (the kind of seating I always prefer) and only a few island tables (the kind of seating I dislike). The service is also quite good; attentive without going overboard. And the food is quite tasty - maybe even a bit better than at the Metrotown location. Though probably the number one thing I love about this place is that it's open late. That can be a godsend for a night-owl like me. For food dishes, I love the salty peppery chicken nuggets and the milky mountain yam hot pot. For drinks, I particularly love the Ferraro Rocher bubble tea (although I wouldn't recommend ordering it with a food order unless you're a big eater, as it's very rich and basically a meal-sized dessert unto itself.) read more

First and last time coming here. Horrible place to take your family. Terrible service and mediocre food. Waiters were fairly welcoming at first but throughout our time there, their attitude and service worsened as they messed up our orders. We waited nearly an hour for our food, just to get the wrong order. We waited 30 minutes for sweet tea, which did not seem like it would take that long. When we talked to them about it, they gave us a tough time even though we were only trying to remind them of our order. EVEN ASKING FOR ICE WAS A PROBLEM! I came here expecting a great meal with my family, and received such an unwelcoming experience. My advice to you is to save your money and NEVER COME HERE. read more

I've had a couple visits so far, and my only regret is not having given this place a try earlier! They've got a great selection of bubble teas, that's for sure. Myself and all the folks I'd come here with gave the selection and the teas themselves a big thumbs up. The food was a pretty average. Wasn't bad at all, but it didn't knock us off our feet. Still, it was good enough that both my husband and myself would come back for repeat visits. The service was a little slow, but both times I went were either on a Friday night or right at prime dinner time, so I can't accurately judge with being there while it's busy. When I was there both times they did not take credit cards - debit and cash only. Not a big deal for us, but do be aware of this when you go. All in all I was pretty pleased with this place, and it may be our new hangout place with our old spot having been burned down. Time will tell! read more

I can't stay away from this place. Amazing food and really affordable. My go to is either salty peppery chicken with noodle in soup, spicy beef with noodle in soup, or the beef broth with pork dumpling. A side of pan fried Gyoza goes with anything, and the odd kimchi hot pot is fabulous. Usually my bill is under 10$. read more

I've been a fan of bubble tea for years. Having lived in Taipei for all of 2005, I was seriously pretty much addicted to those loving cups of pearly goodness and had one almost every day of that year. Fast forward to New West 5 years later, my girlfriend and I have been saying for years that a proper bubble tea place was one of the main things this up and coming city was missing - well not anymore! Though they just opened a few weeks ago, we've already been there a few times and I'm happy to report that, as long as you order only drinks, you should be very satisfied. The quality of their drinks is just as good as all their other locations are and something I'll be coming back for on a pretty regular basis. The consistency and flavour was awesome, and the pearls were just right. Too bad the same, however, can't be said about the food. Taiwanese cuisine was one of the most amazing things about living in Taipei and I was excited at the prospect of munching on some nostalgia so close to my place. Unfortunately, Bubble World did not deliver. Having tried a few things now (Kung Pao Chicken, Black Pepper Sauce with Beef, Fried Pork Cutlet) with friends, we all felt that the dishes left a lot to be desired. The black pepper beef was not bad, but quite bland - nothing like the taste bud orgasm I had come to expect from this dish. The kung pao chicken, while spicy, had very little flavour to it, and the pork cutlet was OK at best. With three strikes, I probably won't try any more food dishes, but as far as beverages go, I couldn't be happier. Welcome to New West, Bubble World! UPDATE (June 12, 2012): Ok, I've since gone back a few times and tried a few other things and their beef and egg rolls are pretty damn amazing. Give those a go and experiment a bit more than I previously did--you might not be disappointed after all. :) read more

The only bubble tea place I know of in New West, luckily it's decent. It's pretty much like all the other bubble world locations. They have a very good selection of bubble tea, as well as food. Bubble tea wise it's pretty standard, but the food can be hit or miss. The noodle soups are delicious, but some of the small dishes can be a little bland and/or texturally odd. The prices are a little high for what you get as well. The servers can be a little abrupt , but not to the point of rudeness. It's pretty easy to catch their attention which is good. Sadly there's no loyalty card like with some bbt places, but it's okay. I'll still be back. read more

Their bubble tea is horrible! Ordered a wheat germ milk tea with pearls, some pearls were uncooked, unbelievable... It's semi-hard inside and powdery, very disgusting. The liquid itself doesn't have any tea taste, it's just pure sugar and water mix. Should hire a well-experienced worker... read more

Surprisingly good. I got the salt pepper chicken with noodle soup. It smelled like Taiwan when it arrived. Always a good sign. The batter has the taiwanese 5-spice that I like. Chicken was tender, juicy, and tasty. Noodles were cooked at the right al dente level for chinese noodle soup. Service was ok. The ambience is nice. Externally, it doesn't look that promising, basically like the lower level of an office park, but it's quite nice inside. read more

They've really dwindled on portion size!!! Overall good food and average (understaffed) service.

Just raised prices by $2 per item by now making you pay for rice and side dishes that were previously included in all meals. Kind of lame.
