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.

String beans

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!

Mushroom fries, popcorn chicken, salt pepper pork chops, and matcha slushy

Authentic Chinese cuisine! Popcorn chicken and slushy is a must try. I personally love the mushroom fries! The portion is good for the price. It's a new shop and brings fresh air to Burbank.

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.

Watermelon tea with rainbow jelly...incredibly refreshing. Not too sweet. Actual watermelon in it. Highly recommend

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.

Boba milk tea.
Cybil S.

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!

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.

Large wall menu

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.

Popcorn Chicken

So good will definitely be coming back! One of the best popcorn chickens I've had. Menu has many options too

Man, when I work nearby, we used to come to this place all the time because we love the food and…read morethe price was more than fair. I haven't been in years, but swung in today as I was passing by. I'm happy to report. It's still pretty much the same. Great customer service, expedited delivery to the table and we scarfed it down just as quickly! It's out of the way from my normal life pattern now, but I do wish there was another wok on the frontier near my home. Honestly, you can't really go wrong if you stop here and enjoy a meal.

This place has been here for a long time over a decade used to be one of my favorites and I hadn't…read morebeen there in a while. I decided to check it out again, so let me give you all the pros and cons. Cons : parking and the parking lot is horrendous. Do not do it. There's one way in and one way out. It's a very narrow. It's very crowded. The way the cars parked are weird. Try and find parking on the street even though how all is set up right there you will not be able to find much. 2. They have no lunch menu meaning no discount prices no combos nothing like that when I asked about it I was told the only difference would be you would get noodles or rice if there was no price difference. 3. Not a fabulous place for nice dining. If you just want something casual, you don't care how it looks OK there's plenty of seeing but the restaurant looks like a storage room from the front door all the way to the back door. This is how it looks. 4. The three rice options were white rice, fried rice and brown rice. I opted for a fried rice and then when I saw it it looks like brown rice. Also looks like white rice did not look like what traditionally you think. Fried rice would be when I inquired about it. He said oh it's just white rice with egg you will see from my pictures. I didn't see any egg and even though the rice was tender, was like in a jelly mold instead of loose fluffy rice. Pros: 1. Food was delicious and I had Mongolian beef which comes with a brown sauce, beef, green onions, and white onion and there like small noodle type something at the bottom I'm not sure what that was.

We stopped by on a Monday evening and had a good, hassle-free experience. A quick tip on parking:…read morethe lot in the back is quite small and was packed, so you're much better off looking for street parking right from the start. Inside, the restaurant wasn't too crowded, and we were seated immediately. We ordered the string bean chicken and the orange chicken with rice. The food came out remarkably fast and everything was delicious and full of flavor. Our waitress was also nice and efficient throughout our meal. Overall, this is a cozy, comfortable spot that serves up good comfort food. We'll definitely be back!

I dropped in and placed a to go order for shiu mai, har gow, and sesame balls - sadly after paying for my order the staff informed me they were out and quickly refunded me. I also ordered a medium 12oz egg drop soup, chow mein, Mongolian beef. The kiddo and I waited about 15 min, not bad. The place is quaint and clean. On a Sunday around noon, there were two occupied tables. There is a small parking lot out back and street parking in front. They offer a lunch menu which had varying prices starting around $14 if I remember correctly. Staff is very friendly. This was my first time trying Century Dragon and do foresee ordering dim sum again in the future. The dumplings are a generous size. I'll have to remember to ask for chili and hot mustard next time as our to go order only had soy sauce. I did a small taste test of our other items and probably would skip the Mongolian beef and soup. I would also place an order ahead of time, snapped a photo of their dim sum menu to reference for next time!

My family and friends have been coming to this place for 20+ years different owners throughout the…read moreyears. This has always been our go to Chinese restaurant it's our comfort food. We've walked in with 15 guests and are immediately seated. The place is usually less crowded during the week from noon to 3pm and will usually be a bit busier Friday nights to weekends. The waitress(might be owner too) is very sweet she really does try her hardest. She is the only waitress so doing everything at once can take time. Sometimes service will be quick and smooth other days when its busier it will take her a minute to get to you but don't take it personally she is very sweet just unaware sometimes. The prices here are amazing, big portions, definitely get your moneys worth. Our favorite plates are the chow fun, chicken in black bean sauce, cashew chicken, chicken chow men, sweet n sour chicken, pork in spicy sauce, and their three flavor soup is amazing as well. Sometimes the food can be a little over salty or overly sauced so we ask for light salt and less sauce and it will come out better. They listen to your request. My grandma cannot have salty food so we request an unsalted soup for her and they accomplish that. Definitely a good restaurant to go with family it feels very homie.

If you dine in, you also get soup and tea! Walking in, this felt like a classic family Chinese restaurant, so I'd recommend coming in to eat! I got the sweet and sour chicken combo and it was good! A different style of sweet and sour sauce than I'm used to, but good! Lots of fresh veggies in the sauce, which was nice. The egg roll was good and the shrimp was a nice surprise touch! Overall, a decent meal and I'd happily come by again! I even was looking at their serving tray options- they have lots of catering options for larger gatherings!

The food comes out fast and piping hot. We started with two sweet teas, which immediately reminded me of my aunt's sweet tea back in Louisiana, so yummy! For appetizers, we ordered the Paradise Desire, New York Style Egg Rolls, and BBQ Pork. Those egg rolls are honestly what keep this place in my food Rolodex! I could probably eat two of them and be completely satisfied...but nope, that just won't do. For dinner, my son ordered the Sweet and Pungent Shrimp, while I had the Salt and Pepper Fish topped with jalapeño peppers. We both wanted the Yang Chow Fried Rice, and it was cooked perfectly. I honestly wish I had better words to describe just how delicious these entrées were. Of course, we couldn't finish everything, so we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day, which is always a bonus! Green Apple China Bistro remains one of our favorite places, and we'll definitely be back to dine in again before the end of the year.

We ordered orange chicken, beef and broccoli, house special fried rice, spam meat fried rice , egg drop soup and chicken egg rolls. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The only thing I could critique is the orange chicken. It was a little dry. Was cooked a little too long. But still flavorful. I will be back to try different items on the menu.

I really enjoyed the dimly lit Hong Kong style bar. Food arrived pretty promptly after we ordered but we did get an array of hot and cold items. Flavors were fabulous. Fish potstickers had a delightful crunch and savory, flavorful filling. Shrimp shumai have a nice bite with plenty of filling. Our chili oil noodles had a great texture and wasn't too spicy. Their house made chili oil had a nice spice profile, not wildly spicy. Quaint place that was a perfect spot for two. Prices were reasonable and their house drinks were well balanced. Great experience.

The…read moretable we were sat at was pretty small, we ordered quite a few items and at first they paced our food but at one point our tiny table was so full we couldn't eat comfortably due to the lack of room. I think it would've been better had they continued to pace things out. It wasn't busy around the time went so in my opinion they could've waited a bit. Now for the food...very underwhelming We were disappointed as we were eager to try this place! The dough was very thick for both the pork+crab xlb and the spicy wontons. The xlb hardly had any soup in it but I will say the broth that we were able to get out was v flavorful. The stewed beef noodle dish was very bland. The beef itself was very tender and I could tell the veg in it was fresh , but unfortunately it was a bland dish overall. The marinated tofu was bland as well. The star of the show for us was the beef hui tou! I think it was pretty tasty and fried beautifully. The drinks we had were just alright as well. Can't say I'd come back regrettably.
