Of all the hidden gems in Burbank, this one tops the list! They serve boba, but the food is insanely good. As a 626 transplant, the food here is as good as what you can find out east. We got the cumin lamb, string beans, popcorn chicken and noodles and everything was delicious! Their popcorn chicken is so good and kid approved! My toddler says this is his favorite popcorn chicken in the area. We'll definitely be back and can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

Love this place. It has a good selection of both boba/tea and Chinese food. Price is comparable to other stores and restaurants. I mainly go for the food. Highly recommend. read more

We were here for the drinks not food, service was nice, we had a group of friends together and I (not sure if he is the owner), he was kind enough to bring us our drinks. This place is totally casual. When we arrived there were plenty of parking. I had to Coconut Milk Tea, it was yummy. read more

This is a small restaurant with drinks and take out. There are tables and paper plates to eat in. The food is amazing!!! We discovered their mushroom fries and come back for them but they now have octopus balls that are wonderful! We also had braised tofu and chow fun which were delicious. The servings are very generous and we took lots of it home to enjoy later. The prices are a real bargain as well. The mall has many closed shops but they are open and cooking up a storm. read more

My favorite dish is the Singapore rice noodles with curry and vegetables. Great quality and price. I also order the combo special with green beans and shrimp with fried rice, egg roll and green tea for under $15. Hard to find quality and price anywhere these days. The owner Cyan is a great guy and hope they're remain there for a long time. It's homestyle cooking. read more

This is a small cafe in a strip mall next to Wingstop. It can be a little difficult to find, because the front says "Bobawok" but there's a sign on the door saying Favoritea. Ive been a couple times. The popcorn chicken is really good, and so are the drinks. The mocha coffee I got was great. The spicy cumin beef I tried was just ok, nothing amazing. They messed up my order the first time I came and didn't seem to care too much, I asked for the popcorn chicken meal and they gave me the appetizer. This is a solid choice in the area but wouldn't go too far to try it. read more

My #1 and will always be my #1 boba/ Chinese food spot! If you want a good portion of flavorful food with a good price, then this is the spot. My favorite combo is the chow mein and bbq pork buns with any drink because I like to switch it up. Food comes out pretty quick and I'm always on the go so I order for take out but they do have some seating inside. Bonus for the amount of parking this little area has. read more

Literally my Favorite place! The food is all so amazing and delicious. Not to mention their lychee drink! If you want Chinese food with lots of good flavors, you have to try this place. read more

Get the popcorn chicken, you can thank me later. They also have really good boba and some good flavors.

We've only ordered delivery, but everything always arrives well packed and hot. Our fave foods are their dim sum: sesame balls, sui mai, and bbq pork buns. Also good is the walnut shrimp is good and the mapu tofu. Not great: The chow fun was overcooked (noodles too mushy), but tasty. The orange chicken is just ok (no spice, a little over sweet, sauce is very thick). Mixed bag on their drinks, thai tea is really good, but i wasn't a fan of the coconut slush (too much coconut flavoring, almost perfumey taste). read more

An unassuming place in a plaza with not many other shops but we have been back at least 3x the past month because their boba tea is SO GOOD and SO affordable! Definitely give this place a chance. We LOVE the taro milk tea boba and also love that you can adjust the sweetness. The staff here are also very kind and willing to help. read more

My wife had the taro milk tea with almond milk, no boba, no ice, 50% sugar...and it is addictive! Seriously! I had the oolong milk tea, regular ice, no boba, 50% sugar,...and it was very good! We'll be back to try their many other flavors and the Chinese food. read more

I really love this place. It's unfortunate it's in such a dead shopping center, but please don't let that deter you from trying this hole in the wall....the place isn't fancy but service is friendly, food delicious with generous portions (my fave hot n' sour soup ever), and great drinks. My favorite has to be the watermelon tea! Incredibly refreshing with real crushed watermelon. I also admire hardworking immigrants pursuing their American dream. It's definitely a family doing everything they can to make it work so when you buy a drink or meal, you know it's going to their children's school, rent...the basics....despite the challenges of language, location, etc, they work together to make the customer's experience a happy one. read more

Favoritea Cafe - Watermelon tea with rainbow jelly...incredibly refreshing. Not too sweet. Actual watermelon in it. Highly recommend - Asian Fusion Near Me - Burbank, California

Favoritea Cafe - Popcorn Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Burbank, California

Don't be fooled by the dying strip mall it's housed in, this hidden gem is worth a visit. It gives divey vibes with dirty floors and clutter all around, but the boba is better than any I've had in Burbank so far and the food was fresh, well prepared, and the staff nice enough. It's totally a mom and pop joint. The staff is eating their dinners at the tables during downtime, but the chef came out to verify my allergies to make sure I could eat everything he was making. Be sure to check the half meal special that you can add a milk, black, or Thai tea and add boba. And speaking of boba. The regular sweet level is a little too much for me, but the taste of the r milk tea was deep and rich. The boba balls were perfect texture and flavor. I wish they had a fresh milk option but was happy to see an oat milk for peeps who want that! read more

I stumbled upon this cafe in Burbank, CA was because I was starting to support local biz in Upscale LA cities such as this. When I arrived at this Cafe, the front sign posted, 'Soft Opening,' so I suppose they just recently opened for their biz. That and I went with what fellow Yelpers raved about their popular dish, 'Popcorn Chicken,' so I decided to try that dish instead of a drink. Boy, that dish was extremely fulfilling!!!! 'Favoritea,' served a huge portion of their 'Popcorn Chicken,' which were all properly cooked piece by piece. I had already chowed half down by the time I got home. Service was fast and efficient, I received my order within less than 20min of a wait time after placing order. This Cafe was located in a huge plaza, so parking was free and easy. I'll be back again soon next time I'll be in Burbank, CA. read more

This place used to be a Chinese food to go. It looks like the new owners kept the old set up and just added their own menu technology. The ambience is very out dated and there are boxes under the tables at the front counter. The service is quick and friendly. This is my second time here because I fell in love with the lychee slush with lychee jelly. My daughter got the same but with boba. The drink is pretty large and lasted a long time. There's not a lot of customers but the food looks good. read more

I love the spot, ordered plenty of times from them as they open till a reasonable hour. They have bunch of boba tea options, and their food options are decent amount. Although the overall food quality is still quite mediocre, the meat or rice can be dry, the boba balls can be firm as goat shit, and the prices are much higher if you choose to go with delivery, and they sometimes mess up my orders too. If you are in the area and have nothing to eat, go with this spot, it's still better than 80% of the generally food spots in this country, even though it's just average. read more

Nice pitstop after a Costco trip. Been here quite a few times over the past few months and really enjoy the blended milk teas/blended Thai teas. Very pleasant tea taste throughout the drink and it's consistently great quality. The popcorn chicken here is amazing, great portions and just the right amount of crunch. Seriously their portions are doubled what you get at most other places for the same price without sacrificing quality. read more

As a Chinese person who grew up in the 626, this place has the BEST Chinese food in the Burbank area. I lived in Burbank for about 2 years, and this was my go to spot for whenever I missed good Asian food. The portions were massive and the flavor was perfect. I highly recommend their spicy salt chicken wings and garlic green beans!! read more

Very bad service! So unwelcoming ambiance, server don't even say thank you, don't even smile. I don't recommend! So many better boba places out there! Not worth it as you need to pay extra few cents to add boba on your drink! read more

No hello to customers when they walk in. Area was super dirty and I question the CDC rating here. Food was good. I think the environment/setting could be better. It was very dirty when we came in. I wouldn't sit there for too long. There were food smudges on the table and I felt gross sitting down. read more

The place was empty...workers were chilling in the dinning area killing time on their notebooks. Popcorn Chicken portion was huge, but Chicken was a bit rubbery and chewy. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't good either. Steamed bbq pork buns were ok, again they were huge. I knocked off 1 star for the lack of flavor and quality. Another star for workers chilling in the customer dinning area with their notebooks. read more

Boba shop for this area? Solid. I actually reviewed this place back when it was still Bobawok last year. They've revamped their place to look a lot brighter and cleaner and upgraded their boba game. I ordered a combo special so you pick an entree and add a drink (you're given 4 choices) for an extra $2.50. I ordered a popcorn chicken meal with fried rice and added a house milk tea with boba. Popcorn chicken was great, crisp and mildly spicy. I recommend you remove the lid when you get it so that the steam doesn't make it less crispy. The container they put the meal in separates the fried rice from the chicken. The fried rice is just soy sauce and a bit of egg so you can go with white rice. Boba drinks are in tall cups now. I would argue the best boba in Burbank for now. read more

One of the best boba spots in Burbank! It's kind of hidden in a large shopping plaza and can easily be missed. Pretty quick service. They have a variety of drinks and food as well. The lavender milk tea and milk tea slush are my go-to's. Great taste and boba is made just right. read more

Wow! I was in the area & wasn't expecting much but super happy I came here! :) I can be quite picky with boba bc I drink it almost every day but I was super happy with my rose milk tea & they even had oat milk substitute. Popcorn chicken was a huge portion size & very yummy! read more

Really like this place! We're from SGV and try a lot of different boba shops. I really like this one! The popcorn chicken is DELICIOUS!! My husband and I love it! The milk tea was also delicious. Has an actual tea flavor if you know, a lot of places is just all milk. read more

Good boba!! Glad Burbank finally have some good boba place! We ordered Thai milk tea/ mocha milk tea/and jasmine green milk tea. All of them are good! They take good care of the ice and sweetness. Recommend 50% sugar and ice! read more

Came by to try one of their boba drinks and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the Lychee green tea (50% sweet) with honey boba and it was pretty good! The honey boba was warm and soft with just the right amount of chewiness, and the lychee tea was not artificial tasting at all. However, I was surprised at how sweet it was at 50% sweetness. Although it was the right amount for me (and it's still on the lighter side), I'm glad I didn't get it at any more sweetness than that. The interior is also cute and there's plenty of parking in the plaza. I'd say this place would be my new go-to boba shop in the Burbank area! read more

Was craving boba and popcorn chicken, as I usually do. I didn't have time to go pick it up as I had meetings, so I ordered through DoorDash. Got the Milk Tea Slushie and popcorn chicken for me, and the fried rice with shrimp for my hubby. Little pricey through DoorDash, but convenient. Order came to my door and the Milk Tea Slushie was delicious and perfect for a hot day. Popcorn chicken was pretty on point - shared with my hubby. Tried some of his fried rice, pretty good as well. Good place, will add to my boba/popcorn chicken repertoire! read more

I would give this a 4/5 or 4.5/5 but I think this place has great potential (just not quite a 5 star yet). I ordered a house milk tea with boba and my boyfriend a lychee tea with boba. We also ordered sesame balls as a snack. The total came to about $18 and change for everything. The sizes of the drinks were large but I'm not sure if that's the only size or if we weren't offered to choose - I don't mind however as it was the perfect size for me! The house was pretty good, however a bit sweet so I would go 75%/80% sweetness in the future. They listed honey boba but I think it was regular tapioca pearls? Didn't taste like powder mix or anything. Easy to drink. I always order a milk tea at new spots because if a place can't make a decent milk tea, I can't trust their other drinks! Thankfully this milk tea passed the test. The lychee tea wasn't too sweet and was actually really good. They offered black tea or green tea (get green!). It was refreshing and paired well with our order of sesame balls. I wouldn't get boba in this next time, maybe a jelly of some sort. My boyfriend probably finished this in less than 5 minutes! The sesame balls were crispy but still chewy on the inside! And they were red bean (my favorite!!) inside. They were a little pricey ($8?) for 8 pieces, so I probably won't get this again, but it was pretty good. They had a "soft opening" side on the door so I decided to give a try. This is probably one of the better boba spots in Burbank, as most here are pretty low tier/mall type of spots. The interior is pretty lack-luster but I'll chalk it up to the soft opening. It could definitely use a little improvement. What I love is the amount of food options available! A lot of boba shops only have drinks so it's nice to have this option. They have actual meals vs just snacks too. I expect to be back and I hope Burbank enjoys it too! read more

Finally tried this place. I've passed by it before and read the reviews when it was still BobaWok (not sure what has changed as the BobaWok sign is still up on storefront) but debated it. Now today I needed my boba and popcorn chicken fix and this is one of the only cafes I'm aware of that sell both, so major points for that! This place did not disappoint. I got their half meal of popcorn chicken, fried rice, and a Thai tea that comes discounted when you purchase with any meal according to their menu. Honestly this was a good deal! For being a "half meal" the portion was big and I could only eat half of it. On the meal you can choose between plain or fried rice. I went with fried and it was just okay. Nothing fancy, probably made with soy sauce and egg. It also came with a veggie egg roll and any meal will get you a drink for $2.50, but only for a few options (regular milk tea/Thai tea). The thai tea was good but I'll probably ask for less sugar next time. Popcorn chicken was amazing and even though I asked for mild it was a little spicy for me. They do have a variety of options regarding their drinks and food so that's definitely a plus! The staff was nice, but rather quiet. The interior is nothing fancy, it's kind of retro with the tile and part of their menu is taped to the wall. But this isn't important as it did look overall clean. I enjoyed the kpop playing in the background while I waited for my food. I got my drink really fast and my food came out in less than 10 minutes. Plenty of parking. This is in the plaza where the old Kmart is so the whole lot is pretty much vacant. Overall I'd come here again. I grew up in 626 where boba cafes are bountiful so my standards are kind of high since I've moved to Burbank and realized the options in the immediate vicinity are sparse. It does satisfy my cravings! read more

I was recommended to get the orange chicken and fried rice ... it was terrible . Chicken looked so dry and looked like they just artificial dumped sauce over and added a "chili" for "decoration purposes" Fried rice was so dry and flavorless.it tasted so old . I got a Thai tea with cheese foam and boba. I tasted it and it tasted very diluted had no "Thai tea flavor " and the boba felt old. I then proceed to ask the cashier if they can add more sugar or Thai tea concentrate because it tastes so watery , he said "well... it's a liquid" I told him "I'm aware it's a liquid, it just has no flavor to it . He's like , I'll put more sugar . Walks away, no gloves or anything, proceeds to pull out the straw (mind you , right after touching money ? . And adds more concentrate . At that point I felt so unwelcome , so I got my food and left. Very disappointed, I had high expectations for this place. The place is looks very unsanitary. Leaks on ceilings , a bunch of material and supplies where they serve the drinks. read more

I was delightfully happy with my Flower milk tea. It's Rose milk tea and Lavender Milk Tea blended together. Such a great taste! Better than mediocre and boba was decent. They have food as well which smelled amazing, right when I walked in. Didn't try it this time. They are still in the "soft opening" period so I'd say they are still transforming the place no set vibe yet. I was told that I can order food and drink on their website to limit wait time in person. They also use stamp card rewards program. read more
