Excellent, fresh delicious fish. They always have my food ready swiftly and in great order. I love that they have outdoor seating for those of us who are trying to stay covid safe! Lovely to have a high quality restaurant nearby. read more

Loved this small ramen and bubble tea shop in town! Staff were friendly and seemed to welcome regulars warmly as well as newcomers. Their ramen is tasty overall and filled with lots of yummy ingredients. Their bubble was good, bubbles were the right consistency, not too chewy, not too hard. Wait time was about 20 minutes for 2 ramen bowls and 2 bubble teas. Portions are a little small but the price point wasn't bad, matched their portions. read more

So this restaurant has been in South Orange for several years and I ate there today and I must say that it has really fallen off. I ordered the chicken and shrimp and the chicken was overcooked really hard. The sauces barely filled half the containers. It's such a shame because they started out really strong, but if you can find a Poké bowl someplace else. Go! read more

This takeout-only spot has a couple of sidelines in cheese steaks and burger-esque "mini buns" but the main focus is tea and poke bowls. I got the Typhoon sushi burrito, maybe too small to count as a meal but big in flavor. It stars tuna and salmon, and there's also WASABI AIOLI. I'm in my 50s and just now coming to terms with the fact that maybe I like fusion. I liked the coconut milk tea. I didn't get boba which in retrospect is a serious mistake for photo reasons. Perusing the poke menu, I see there are nine different sauces, with sour cream thyme sounding the most unusual. If you order the chicken poke I might unfriend you but I may try the scallops someday. read more

It used to be one of my favorite places to go. Now it is overpriced for the quality and quantity of the food that you recieve. The tuna used to be much higher quality and now its kind of dry and grainy. The service is always fair, that hasn't change. I do like the minimal seating inside and I believe they have some (very small) seating outside. The restaurant is nicely decorated inside. read more

Been here a few times since they opened..it's an okay place if you want to get a quick boba fix. Their bubble milk tea is average. The customer service and food is lacking. I had their hot "chicken" sushi burrito. At first glance it looked really good but the taste was really bland. No flavor at all and there were only a couple cube pieces of "chicken" in there. Seems like they just stuffed it with veggies. It was also very hard to eat since it wasn't completely closed and already falling apart. read more

Let me start by saying chipoba was one of my go to spots for a really long time. Unfortunately not sure when it happened or what happened but they've fallen off. For those who may have not been there to experience the downfall here's the gist. Store was renovated, all was great, soon after the prices jumped up. Like any establishment I can understand raising prices especially the after the Covid pandemic; What I don't understand is why the prices went up and the quality and portion sizes went down. We used to be able to get a filling, well sized and delicious sushi burrito for a decent price...not anymore. You pay more money for a smaller burrito with less ingredients and to top it off they even cut down the amount of spicy mayo they give you (Used to be two sauce cups, now it is 1 that is barely filled). The bubble tea has been consistent which is the only reason I ever stop by anymore. I won't even speak much on the ramen because it's not being done justice; Prepackaged noodles in a mediocre broth with veggies doesn't equal ramen :/ Like I said I get raising prices as an establishment especially after renovating the place but this is not the way to go about things. I'm sure many customers were lost for this sole reason. I really hope they read these reviews and make a much needed change to bring the true chipoba back and the day one customers like myself coming back weekly! read more

The food is amazing and the service is excellent as well. I would highly recommend the chicken or miso ramen.

Food is amazing the workers are super friendly, only think I would change about the ramen broth is super salty. Perfect amount of noodles and broth. The buns and poke bowls are super delicious. I love how you get too choose what you want in your poke bowl. The boba teas are amazing. My favorite is the milk taro bubble tea. I think they need more chairs and tables inside. I know they can't fit allot in such a small space. I'm so happy there's a bubble/poke bowl place in town so now I don't have too go too nyc all the time too get it. Sad there closed on Sundays because allot of restaurants in south orange are closed. But if your in town defiantly stop by! read more

This is a a pretty cute spot. Currently, it's takeout only and the staff is very welcoming and efficient. My family and I went later in the evening so it wasn't fairly crowded. I gave it 3 stars because the passion fruit lemon tea was so delicious; however, the popcorn chicken was underwhelming. There's more breading than chicken and the flavor was non-existent. We didn't enjoy the dipping sauce that came with the meal. It was more tart/acidic than expected. Please note: The serving size is larger than what's pictured. My brother ate some of the popcorn chicken before I remembered to take a picture lol read more

Stopped by for bubble tea and it was really good especially on a hot humid day. Great to cool down, flavorful and fulfilling. Definitely have to stop by again to try their food. I always thought they sold bubble tea only. read more

Chipoba - Coconut milk bubble tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - South Orange, New Jersey

I've been here a few times and the food has always been about 3 stars. This time I ordered what I always order, a sushi burrito and I had a very bad experience. The seaweed was completely untearable so it stayed in my mouth and I had to spit it out. When I told the owner she tried to say it was because it's damp from rice (of course!) - not that I would've taken it but she didn't even ask if she can replace it with something else. I paid for a $15 burrito and left hungry. read more

Poke bowl was delicious. They staff there was so nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend going there.

Super cute establishment I just waltz in here and the server was so sweet and friendly. The food is made fresh and hot and it was soooo good. I loved the bubble tea. It made it worth the wait which was approximately 20 minutes but I didn't mind. I got the 3 PCs with fries and I'll be back . read more

Chipoba - Tuesday night. Glad they were open. - Bubble Tea Near Me - South Orange, New Jersey

Updating to say they yet again LEFT OUT AN ENTIRE MEAL. They have never once gotten our order correct. When I called to have it corrected l, they said they would not be able deliver it to me!! They use a delivery service but she refused to have them bring the missing food. Being that I just had major surgery, there was no way for me to even get it. They also refused to make it up by giving us something extra to make it worth our while to have a friend som go and pick it up. They were not accommodating at all. I would not order from here again. They literally couldn't get an order right that was simply three meals. They also left out the sauces. The way they handled it was just completely unacceptable. She completely refused to have someone come delivery it to us. Spend your money elsewhere. Also poke bowls are 70% rice. read more

doesn't look like much of a place when walking by, but on my way to my haircut, (i was very early) i decided i had a big craving for good, fast, authentic boba. i also ordered the popcorn chicken, and both were insanely fresh & delicious. Will def come again!! read more

I order a 2 piece fried chicken, leg and wing. I swear it wasn't chicken I think it was a DUCK or another animal. The PARTS I HAD WAS (LEG/WING) HUGE 10x's huge. So I returned my order and the owner trying to tell me that he buy the expensive chicken not cheap chicken. He better off buying PERDUE CHICKEN from Shoprite.. I never ever seen a leg and wing that BIG read more

Delicous food! Delicous boba! Wonderful people! Every time that I have gone it has always been a wonderful experience and have never needed to wait long for food. read more

My friend brought me the food from this place. I got fried chicken, it still tasted good next day because I had too much food can't finish all. The chicken breast poke bowl is delicious also, you will be fully full if you finish the whole bowl. The squid salad is also amazing, it won't disappoint you if you try it. It's better than others I've tried at Japanese restaurant. I also order the passion fruit lemon with boba. It's not too sweet, and has some diced aloe in there. It's a nice match with meal and won't make you so thirsty. read more

Their poké bowls are fresh and delicious! Can't speak to other menu items but I always enjoy my poke bowl!

Don't go for the boba, it's flavorless and it's just boba in water... yuck... EVEN THE BOBA IS FLAVORLESS!!

My boyfriend and I got takeout from here for the first time! We walked up to the window that is set up inside the restaurant and built our own sushi burrito and poke bowl. Ingredients were pretty good quality and overall super tasty! This was my first time having a sushi burrito and it was a little smaller than I expected, more along the lines of a thick sushi roll than a burrito, but it was very tasty nonetheless. The spicy mayo was recommended to us and it was definitely one of the spiciest spicy mayos I've ever had (and spicy mayo is number go-to sauce whenever I get sushi, poke, etc.). It was good, but not for the faint of heart. This is the closest poke spot to me, so I expect to come here the next time I have a craving! read more

Fish was fresh but the poke portions were very small. There was about 10 small pieces of fish in the poke bowl and the burrito was 1/2 the size of typical poke burritos in the price range. Sauces were only about 1/4-1/3 full. They also got my order wrong but they were very apologetic about it. 4 stars bc I'm cutting them some slack as a new business and have to support my local Asian brother and sistas read more

Their food isn't great but the bubble tea was ok until a recent experience trying a different flavor. I ordered a lemon passion fruit and got about 15 or so lemon seeds in it. After a few attempts at enjoying the boba and chewing on bitter lemon seeds I tried to go back and ask for it to be fixed but I was yelled at a bit instead and told I should have specified that I didn't want lemon seeds. I understand a few lemon seeds but this was a bit outrageous. read more

Delicious food! Good service! One of my favorite restaurants in Mapso! Food comes fast and is always fresh. Highly recommend!

CHipoba has the best bubble tea I've ever had and there chicken nuggets are really good too.

Awful food with a side of attitude. Ingredients are cheap and stale. My pork bun tasted like it was a week old. Chicken rice bowl was literally inedible. And the staff was incredibly rude. Worst Asian food I've had in south Orange so far, which is saying a lot read more

FANTASTIC!!!! The service was great. The owners were so kind. My drink came out in less then 3 minutes. And the drink quality was amazing def %100 try!! read more

Please go and grab food here. The spicy crunch burrito is bomb. The peach aloe bubble tea is where it's at if you're not into milk teas. Even better, the place is run by the sweetest people. read more
