    Kimchee and Bibimbap Bowl
    Erica R.

    I came here because it was conveniently located near the Target. I was pleasantly surprised by all of the variety on the menu. I was expecting ramen only but ended up getting bibimbop and a side of kimchi. The kimchi was super good with the perfect amount of spice. The bibimbop was good and very filling. The quality and portion for the price was great. The space itself is a little cold and sterile but they have spaces for small or large groups and they have one of those grass Instagram walls. The employees were friendly and efficient. Overall, a great place for a very unique meal.

    It was a blast. I went with my mom and we both love it. The servant was very good and the food was too.

    I have been going to Bubblys ever since it was known as House of Nom Nom in that original tiny space, so being able to visit it in its larger space is exciting. Bubblys is a laidback spot for fusion Asian eats, ranging from classic bibimbap to banh mi fries. Their new space has an industrial feel with several steel tables to seat people. There is a chill atmosphere for people to eat. The service is fine, but it can take some time for the food to come out depending on how busy they are. On my most recent visit to Bubblys, I got their Loaded Fries and Lychee Bubble Tea with Popping Pearls. As always, the Loaded Fries were a hit for me! The Loaded Fries consisted of cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and scallions, which are a great combination. I also ate some of the Kimchi Fries which were also good! The kimchi gave is a sour flavor, so if you are not a fan of that on your fries, do not get it. The Kimchi Fries supposedly come with bulgogi beef, but I could not find them on the fries. I am unsure if they were just really small pieces, but I hope that there is more of a presence for the bulgogi beef as it could have helped with the sour taste coming from the kimchi. The Lychee Bubble Tea with Popping Pearls was yummy, but be warned that their bubble tea is actually a slush. I have not had the chance to try an actual full meal from the place, but what I have tried has been good. I think that Bubblys is a good introduction to Asian food for people who are not too familiar with the cuisines and flavors, especially in a city like Hickory. I want more Asian restaurants to thrive in Hickory so I support this spot!

    Had some fancy pork ramen, an amazing hamburger, delightful fries, kids chicken nuggets and some boba. Go for the red chili oil as it has the perfect level of burning joy. We sat outside and enjoyed this fabulous treat. My eldest had a side of rice and loved every grain. Service was prompt and friendly. Our order was taken and we were provided a buzzer to inform us of when our meal was ready for pick up. Appreciated that the ramen came with sturdy plastic chop sticks. Several notices to check your order before leaving the counter to ensure accuracy. Our order was very accurate so this was not an issue. We will return to explore more of this appetizing menu.

    The restaurant was busy on a Friday night, when you see the place busy that means it must be really good. The staff that took our orders were nice and kind. I also like the set up for the restaurant, the decor is nice. However, the place felt like it not kept up well, but may be it is Friday they are busy and hard to kept up. We didn't want Ramen, as it was hotter in the summer. So we ordered the burgers, the burgers bun felt really dry and the meat patties are also on the dryer side. The most disappointing point is the teriyaki burger didn't seem to have any type of teriyaki flavor in it. The fries was good. I looked around I saw everyone is ordering Ramen, so may be I just ordered the wrong things. I will try again next time in the area.

    Burger, Sandwich & Boba Tea Menu

    Yum! Yum! Yum! I really enjoyed this restaurant. The cashier was patient and friendly, because it definitely took me a while to decide what I wanted. The food came out piping hot and it was SO good! I had the Bibimbap, garlic soy wings, & a mango boba tea. Bibimbap 4/5 - I love spinach but for some reason it didn't blend well with the other flavors & they gave me too much rice.....I'll just ask for my rice on the side next time. The Korean sauce was lovely. Garlic soy wings 4/5 - they were good, but I thought the wings would be more like Korean fried chicken. Mango boba tea with tapioca 5/5 The restaurant is spacious and clean. I'll definitely be back

    Like some recent Yelpers, I agree that it is easy to miss the restaurant as the entrance comes up quick and there is limited parking. But after we turned around and looked again we found it. The location was at the end of a strip center and the staff was very quiet so take a few minutes to look over the menu as there are a number of items. We both got Bahn Mi sandwiches, mine was beef and my wife had the chicken. I thought mine could have used a little more acid in the sandwich or some heat, but it was good. What was excellent though was the Kim Chee fries that were so good, delicious, and full of flavor, and left me wanting all of them. Great stop even if it is a little hard to find.

    Thai Tea boba
    Jarrod F.

    So I Ended up coming up to NC to move my brother in law in for his first day of college. We decided to stop into bubbly for lunch after getting him settled. We ordered the following: Korean wings (I think) & a side of reg fries: from what my brother in law said, the wings were good, juicy and churchy. He got about 6 in total and cleared them off the bone. The fries were delicious and fresh and came with a huge portion. Based off his experience, I would recommend it. Teriyaki Rice Bowl- wife ordered this and sadly wasn't pleased with the bowl at all. The rice was over cooked and soggy while the chicken was pretty bland. The owners were kind enough to make another one for her but it tasted the same. Based off her experience, I wouldn't recommend it Pineapple Teriyaki burger & Asada Fries - I ordered this and thought the burger was just okay. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't amazing. It was also a bit smaller than expected. The Asada fries were good but just had a lot going on with the toppings. Based off my experience, I would recommend trying the fries over the burger, just be prepared for a large helping. Oh, and I had a Thai tea boba, which was probably the best thing out of everything I purchased! If your in hickory and need a quick bite, this spot is worth a try. Just may be a hit or a miss depending on what you get.

    Not bad not bad. The only spot I found outside of So Cal to have Carne Asada fries. This is a true fusion spot and they have it on point.

    Food is pretty good. I enjoy the mango boba most. I usually get the bulgogi burger or the bulgogi cheesesteak.
