    bubble tea
    PenguinC L.

    First thing: I can't get over the prices! The BBQ meat on rice was only $11.50 (had to add a little bit of money for the bubble tea though) The meat was decently portioned, but a little too salty for me. It came with a soup, corn, and cabbage. Only thing was that there was more rice than anything else (But what did I expect for $11.50) Seafood hotpot was about $14. It came with whatever a normal hotpot would have, including a mussel (sunk to the bottom) and 2 large prawns (hidden under the ladle) Good food for the price! We were one of the only tables there, so of course service was fast. I would've liked if they brought my drink sooner, they didn't bring me my bubble tea until I was already half done my meal... Not the fanciest place (minimal decorations and no music) , but for the prices, I might go again.

    I went to this place randomly because the restauranted I wanted to go to was closed on holidays. The English name says hotpot and they do serve a lot of hotpot stuff, except it wasnt kept warm like normal Taiwanese hotpots. Just a stone bowl. I wanted to order the braised pork but they said they sold out of it so I opted for Kungpow chicken. The taste was good but the ingredients weren't standard and I've never seen a dish prepared like that. The set came with rice and soup (the soup was just miso soup) We also ordered the Taiwanese fried chicken nugget and the taste was good but the bowl had an oily bottom so at the end, the last pieces of chicken were soggy. One thing I found disappointing was that the rice they give you is very little. All Taiwanese places would give you a full bowl with a hump on top but this place was deflated, less that even the top of the rim. Needless to say, this place is not very authentic Taiwanese but it still has good flavor for home-cooking style dishes. There is one hour or two hour parking outside and to the side of the complex.

    Veggie hot pot (without egg to make it vegan)
    Matt B.

    Perfectly fine Taiwanese food with a veggie hot pot option. I stopped in for a quick lunch and got their veggie hot pot ($11.50 plus tax; omitted the egg to make it vegan). The hot pot comes with all sorts of veggies, plus steamed tofu, a choice of noodles (I got green bean) and a side of rice. I asked for it spicy and it was sufficiently so. However, flavourwise, it wasn't terribly exciting; I had to add soy sauce. Nice guy working alone who served me. All in all, inexpensive, filling food but nothing I'd go out of my way for.

    Classic fish hot pot; beef pancake roll

    Their hotpot is so tasty, filling and affordable. My favourite is the one with pumpkin and tomato. Another must try on their menu is their pork belly with rice. Dare I say it's the best pork belly with rice in town. Generous portion and a healthy serving of veggies on the side. This has become a go-to dinner place for us!

    Jo Ju Tofu Hotpot is a Taiwanese / Korean restaurant. They have individual size hot pot combos, rice combos and noodles. I ordered the Signature BBQ pork on rice. It came with BBQ pork (a little fatty than I usually like), fried egg, tofu and veggies. It also came with a side of miso/green onion soup. Overall it wasn't anything spectacular, but it was OK and for a great price. (Approx. $8)

    Salty pepper chicken with rice
    Paula C.

    Jo Ju is a option for bbtea and taiwanese dishes like salty pepper chicken, fried rice or individual hotpot. Recently came here on a Monday and it was nice to be seated right away. I ordered the salty pepper chicken with rice and it came in a large dish with the rice, chicken, broccoli, veggie, fried egg, and miso soup. If you like runny eggs i would recommend telling them when you order because the one i got was cooked through. The chicken was just as good as most of three bbtea joints out there! Really great price too here - the meal was under $9!

    Noodle soup
    Jay J.

    A smaller restaurant on the lower part of Hastings. They offer a bit of everything. I quite enjoy their Chicken nuggets and deep fried octopus. The food here is quite fresh. Items are usually available for pickup after 10 minutes . Overall not bad

    Solid Taiwanese inspired Korean food. Great prices. I wish they had a special price to include bubble tea with the food. I really enjoy the individual hot pot. Service is alright. Staff sometimes refill tea and sometimes do not when they are busy.

    Noodle hot pot and bbq beef
    Kelly Y.

    We were looking for a quick meal along hastings so we decided to try this place. They serve mainly noodles (hot pots) and rice in the stone pots plus some appetizers. We ordered the bbq beef as appetizer and the udon noodles with beef and veggies in tomato soup. The noodle soup was good but nothing too special. Okay size for the price. The bbq beef was too salty so we poured the dish into the noodle soup to balance everything out and ate it altogether. Customer service was alright and there were lots of seats. Good for singular or groups.

    Vegetarian pot
    Patricia L.

    Ramen slut got in over her head here. I thought hot pot was when you cook it yourself by dipping the items? I ordered the vegetarian pot and it came out with all the stuff already in it. I do t know how I feel about squash and tomatoes in my soup. I though there would just be mushrooms and carrots, onions etc. Anyways I'm not sure what to make of it. It was basically like a bunch of food sitting in water that wasn't meant to be eaten. I'll take pho or ramen over it any day. I wanted to cook it myself dammit.

    Fried chicken with rice
    Courteney Y.

    Been to this restaurant twice recently and both times left full and decently satisfied. It is a smaller place but there was seating available right away both times I went. Service is alright. They don't go beyond filling your water/tea but that is fine and didn't bother me. The amount of food you get for the price is good, however I find that all of their dishes fall on the salty side. Maybe ask for half salt/no MSG? Onto the food, I have tried their fried chicken and rice dish as well as their kimchi and BBQ meat with rice. Both pretty tasty, if they had less salt would be even better. Boyfriend has tried one of their hotpot dishes as well and said it tasted good but was very spicy! Overall I'd go back knowing to ask for less salt and also request for the fried egg to be runny if you like it that way!!

    Beef roll is good. Decent portion size on the rice and noodle bowls but I was disappointed by the mediocre seasoning of the food.

    This place is pretty top tier in terms of quality and taste…read more Ordered the infamous salty peppery chicken nugget set. Chicken was perfectly cooked and season as expected. If you haven't had Taiwanese style chicken nuggets, you're missing out on life! Side dishes were just ok but I can't expect much since they're just sides. Ordered the honey milk tea with grass jelly and I'd say they do it just the way I like it. You can really taste that honey throughout the milk tea. Looking back as previous reviews regarding service, I can tell they've improved a lot on that front. Our server checked on us a couple times and was very friendly. This on a Friday night btw. It's definitely one of my top go to places for salty peppery chicken nuggets and honey milk tea. Would have given it 5 stars but you can get the same thing at bubble world for about $5 less.

    I have been hearing this restaurant for a long time but have never been…read more we mainly went for the shaved ice and we did order a couple of items. We ordered a hot and sour soup and the egg rolls with green onions. the taste of the soup was alright but it had some interesting ingredients which are not usually part of the authentic hot and sour soup (such as cabbage and daikon). The egg rolls were alright as well but the egg needed more seasoning as it was very bland. The stars are mainly for the shaved ice. there were very nice selection of toppings for the shaved ice. We chose taro, grass jelly, condensed milk and mixed beans. I would recommend this restaurant for the desserts but not the food..

It's been there for a while so starting to look a bit dated. Doing good business on a Saturday night, although we didn't have to wait for a table. We were not super hungry so just went for drinks and appetizers. They have a pretty sizable sweet drinks menu, with a lot of choices for toppings. I got the melon slush with half sugar. It was plenty sweet, and has the nice honeydew melon taste. For appetizers, we got the Taiwanese style chicken nuggets, and a mixed plate of braised meat and proteins. The chicken nuggets taste as expected, got good flavor, and was tender and not dry. For the braised plate, we got sliced pig ear, fish cake and sliced beef shank. I liked the flavors, and the beef shank was tender. Overall two drinks with two appetizer was like $43 before tips, so not expensive. Solid place to go for some inexpensive Taiwanese food and sweet drinks.

They offer so many different dishes (hot pot bowls, stir fry noodles, hot and cold appetizers, etc.) plus an extensive drink selection. One of my guilty pleasure meals from here is their popcorn chicken, intestine soup noodle, and their Hokkaido milk tea. The popcorn chicken is always made fresh and food portions are generous at the price point offered. There's a reason why Bubble World still maintains a number of locations throughout the Lower Mainland and business is steady. Service is prompt and decent too.

Menu is pretty extensive and there are many different sizes. Smaller rice bowls at cheaper prices were available as well as more expensive meal sets. Even cheaper meals combos are available for students. Once we ordered food, it took a pretty long time to come (at least half an hour), considering that there were only 3 total customers in the restaurant. However the food was very delicious when it did come. The sole waitress was pretty much on her phone at another table the entire time apart from serving the food. The food is very good though. I would definitely return again just for the fried chicken alone. The pork chop dish that we ordered was also delicious.
