    Strawberry Milk Tea with Oak Milk
    Cameron L.

    Nice & fun interior, there are games to play whether foosball or video games. Prices are reasonable, I got a strawberry milk tea and it was as standard as you would expect. Next time I go I would get something else. Service was normal, I wanted a milk alternative so I asked the cashier for their opinion but they just told me all milk alternatives are fine. So I flipped a coin in my head and picked almond milk - wouldn't recommend this with strawberry at all. I don't see this place being my go to spot, but it will be a spot I'd come back to if it's later at night and I'm in the area.

    I was craving a refreshing Bubble Tea while touring Vancouver's busy Robeson Street, and this place stood out... Well, the place seemed quite vintaged...guess it's an old staple? I got a Rose Milk Tea w/ Boba and Lychee Jelly, and it took a long time (10 minutes easy)...but then there appeared to be just 1 guy working. Also the cup packaging was a bit off. Not only was the cup flimsy, the paper straw just wouldn't penetrate the top lid, and I had to ask the cashier for assistance. Well, he managed to poke a hole...but with alot of spillage. EEEEEEK. Luckily the BT was really good.

    Nostalgic spot for bubble tea on Robson St! Quick service and extensive menu. I got the mango milk tea with pearls and my friend got a watermelon slush. Both were great and thirst quenching. Pearls were cooked well and bouncy.

    If you're from the states, you'll understand when I say this place is similar to tapioca express shops. This shop is located in Robeson at where there are at least 3 milk milk tea shops on the same street. I sense this shop survives since it beats out the others by staying open till 2am on a Saturday. We had walked by this place during the day and it wasn't busy at all. Once nightfall hits and young'ns want a late night snack or a place to hangout, this seems to be where they go. They sell asian food and drinks. It's cute how they have words to distinguish milkshake vs milk tea = milk vs no milk. Guess newbies that's not clear. They also have a couple of board games to keep people entertained. We had the black sesame with boba and oolong milk tea. The boba could be a tad sweeter but it is nice and bouncy. Think drinks are overall well make and you can hear the shacker shaking up drinks. If you're Asian and have late night cravings side Asian snack foods and sweet drinks this place can't do you wrong.

    D R I N K The cashier recommended the coconut milk teas as a favorite, and boy was she right! I'm not a fan of some flavors for drinks because it can come across as superficial, coconut being one of them. I tend to generally lean towards regular house milk tea. Being a tourist, I felt brave and gave her recommendation a shot. It was absolutely delicious! It almost tasted cookie-ish. I probably could have gone a touch less sweet since I generally don't have a sweet tooth, but I highly recommend this drink. The Jasmine milk tea tastes like the typical kind and but was actually fairly light considering we didn't modify the sweetness. Coconut Milk Tea // $4.75 Jasmine Milk Tea // $4.75 S E R V I C E The cashier was hard to understand because it was loud inside and her accent very thick, but she was super helpful and patient while my sister and I decided on what we wanted. L O C A T I O N It's on Robson in Downtown Vancouver. Like the rest of Vancouver, parking sucks if you have a car. Finding a spot is difficult and you have to pay to park. But if you're just running in to pick up the drink you can probably get away without paying since I don't think they don't regulate every minute of the day.

    jasmine milk tea with boba

    I was craving boba after dinner and decided to try this place since it was near our dinner location. I opted for the jasmine milk tea with boba. The jasmine milk tea isn't that bad and the sweetness is perfect. The tea flavor itself is a bit bitter. And the boba is pretty good and chewy. This was a decent boba drink I had while on my vancover trip.

    I've tried many of the slushes on their menu and I can confidently say Bubble World offers some of the best slushes. I recommend their taro oreo, passion fruit, and milk tea slush. Their pearls are soft and chewy. I also tried their salty peppery chicken nuggets, which were crispy and juicy. Their convenient Robson location makes it the perfect place to grab a refreshing drink if you're in the area.

    Best boba I've had with tons of arcade games for free!!
    Lisa S.

    I could go on and on about this place ranting about it non stop but why waste time when I can sum it up within a few lines..... BEST TASTING BOBA I'VE EVER HAD...... HANDS DOWN!!! Flavorful, tasty, and sweetness to perfection! Not to mention my old childhood games in sega mode!!!! yes guys.... on the house while you enjoy your drink! Games consist of sega's 90's xmen, street fighter and u know the rest! And to our humbling and ever so kind barista that schooled us on boba!! thinking the BAY's boba was best.... u were totally right!!! urs is way better than ours!!!!!!

    Milk tea, honeydew slush, taro Oreo, and taro
    Cindy P.

    Don't get anything else besides the taro Oreo smoothie w/ taro pearl! My group got the original milk tea, honeydew slush, taro smoothie, and taro Oreo smoothie. Out of all our drinks, the taro Oreo was the best. This might be my favorite taro drink place! I hope bubble world comes to California!

    Original milk tea
    Teresa V.

    I've been here on 2 separate occasions already and each time, my order was done to perfection! I had their Chinese pancakes as well as their beef rolls in Chinese pancakes. They were both delicious with very drastic presentations. The pancakes themselves were cut in triangle pieces so kinda like pizza but smaller and not as stuffing - enough for a snack after drinking on the town. The beef rolls were mouth watering! Wish I had ordered 2 portions instead...filling but not to the point where you feel bloated. I also go the original milk tea and sesame milk tea! They were incredible and strongly flavoured - which is good because no one likes a diluted drink. The drinks here are also reasonably priced with tons of "bubble" options. You can also personalize your orders by adjusting the sweetness and cold levels. Free WiFi with plenty of seats and mini games for people to enjoy. What I don't like is how to deliver the drinks - you really have to pay attention and be within the pickup vicinity when your drinks are being called out. The place can get really loud and busy so it's easy to miss

    Ordered a Coffee Milk Tea with Pearls, perfect amount of sweet. They have a nice area where you can sit down and wait for your food, board games to keep you busy.

    Counter to place your order (2/20/18)
    Marie B.

    Walking back up Robson towards Granville, we decided to stop in Bubble World (2/20/18). We both ordered Original Milk Teas ($4 each, plain, no candies) and savored them onsite. This business also offers a wide variety of flavored beverages and in different formats and food items. Friendly counter staff. Clean tables and seating. Plus there's also video gaming towards the back from the main counter. These milk teas were delicious, made with caramelized yellow sugar made onsite. The Homie slurped his milk tea down in record pace. I took my time savoring while watching passersby walking to/from along Robson. Pleasant detour, reasonably priced, and tasty!

    Taro and Coconut
    Ania D.

    Honestly, I'm torn because one of the times I came here, the bubbles tasted horrible, like expired medicine. But that was one experience out of many, so I'm going to cut them some slack because I thoroughly enjoy this bubble tea spot. The taro here is really good, when I ordered it there were real chunks of taro in it and didn't have that artificial purple colour. When you order it though, I think you need to specify that you want a real taro bubble tea. Overall, would come again

    A Gastronomic Awakening in Chinatown! You don't truly know…read moreuntil you go--and now that I've been, I'm haunted. As I write this, I am literally still dreaming of the Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork. It didn't just "eat" well; it dissolved into a decadent, sweet, fatty puddle of pure bliss. Walking in, the vibe is quintessential Chinatown: a bustling counter, a glass case showcasing glistening roasted treasures, and a seating area that trades fancy decor for pure, functional authenticity. We were clearly out of our element, probably looking like deer in headlights, but the staff met our confusion with warm smiles. Then came Bobby--the absolute heart and soul of this place. We walked in expecting the standard American-Chinese routine, but Bobby whisked us away to a cozy table and treated us like family. He started us off with a fragrant jasmine tea so naturally sweet and floral it didn't need a grain of sugar--perfect for a biting winter night. While we flirted with the Happy Hour menu, Bobby took the reins. You don't say no to a man with that much charisma and passion! On his expert recommendation, we pivoted to the Two-Meat Combo (BBQ Pork + Soy Chicken) with a side of their famous Roast Duck. The food arrived in a lightning-fast 10 minutes, but the real treat was Bobby's play-by-play on how each dish was prepared. You can taste the pride in every bite. The balance was masterclass: a symphony of sweet, salty, and umami. The meats were succulent, the skins were shattery-crisp, and the glazes were perfectly sticky. The undisputed heavyweight champion, however, was that Hong Kong BBQ Pork. Imagine the best "burnt ends" of your life, drenched in a caramelized, mouth-watering sauce that demands your full attention. We left Chinatown BBQ feeling more than just sated--we felt enlightened. If you're looking for a "one in a million" meal, let Bobby order for you. You won't regret it.

The char siu and soy sauce chicken were both cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The green scallion sauce was not necessary but it was still delicious ! Would've been great over rice. The extra fatty char siu the server gave me to try was over the top! Perhaps the best char siu I've had to date. My server, Bobby? Did a fantastic job and was very informative and I can tell he really likes what he does thru his enthusiasm

With about 9-10 people per table, we were treated to what felt like at least ten courses. There wasn't much time for photos, as conversation and catching up naturally took precedence. The standouts were the seafood fried rice and the green onion lobster and crab stir-fry -- rich, comforting, and generously flavoured, the kind of dishes that quietly anchor a long meal. It was a busy holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed. Our original 7:00 p.m. reservation was delayed until 8:00 p.m., leaving many of us waiting outside in the cold. Once seated, the pacing felt off, with dishes arriving out of sequence, which gave the meal an oddly disjointed rhythm. A small apology or update from the staff would have been welcome, but none came. Overall, the food was very tasty, and I would consider returning -- particularly to explore more of their seafood offerings.

However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.
