    Oops! My mouth ate before my camera this time! Popcorn chicken with dark meat
    Susan L.

    No doubt in response to the large community of Taiwanese now in north Phoenix, Owl Owl Boba Chick is a lovely new addition to the Taiwanese food scene in Phoenix! They've only been open for 5 months and having intelligently kept the menu tight so they can execute every item well. On this visit, we were welcomed with a warm hello! We decided to order the popcorn chicken with Thai basil, Gua Bao (now called Bao Buns on the or newest menu), spicy wontons, and green milk tea w/boba. While we were waiting, a group of Taiwanese customers entered the cafe and their conversation instantly warmed my heart. To hear Taiwanese mandarin like this was not something I had expected when I moved from SoCal to Phoenix 18 years ago. Onto the food: perfect popcorn chicken with DARK meat! Well seasoned, and not overly battered. The Gua Baos were the STARS of this visit. Soft and warm steamed bread encased perfectly braised thick pork belly slices. The addition of pickled veggies and sugared peanut powder told me the owners are DEFINITELY Taiwanese. Every bite was perfectly balanced with salty, sweety, umami flavors. The spicy wontons were good as well, although the skins seemed a little thicker than I am used to. The sauce was garlicky deliciousness. Their green milk tea was flavorful and perfect at 50% sweet, with light ice. The boba was on the larger side and probably had been sitting for a while, as they weren't as chewy they should be. Next time, will try their custard pudding add-on! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon a gathering place for Taiwanese nationals in Phoenix! So grateful for Owl Owl's presence and I hope they continue to expand their menu and keep their standards high. Looking forward to our next visit, where we'll try their heartier fare, like the bowls and beef noodle soup!

    I heard about this Taiwanese spot on the west side, Owl Owl Boba x Chick, which has a 4.8 on Google, so I had to check it out. It's a small, cozy place with a fast-food vibe and cute owl decor--seriously, owls everywhere. There are only a few tables, and you order at the counter. I grabbed takeout and got a Citrus Green Tea, Popcorn Chicken, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Braised Pork Belly with Rice. The Citrus Green Tea was super refreshing--I liked that you could taste the green tea. The beef noodle soup was good, with chewy noodles and tender beef, though the broth was a little sweeter than I expected. For $14.99, I kinda wished there were more noodles. The braised pork belly was tasty, and the Popcorn Chicken was decent for the price--probably would've been better fresh at the restaurant. The cashier was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, it's a cool little spot with solid food. I'd definitely go back to try more from their menu!

    if you're looking for authentic taiwanese food and great tea in the upper west side, this is the spot for you! we were recommended this place by a taiwanese friend and decided to check it out since we were in the area. there's ample parking, and although the shop itself is quite small, it wasn't busy so we found seats easily. it definitely feels more like a boba shop that happens to sell food, but that's nice and casual. the dumplings were great! i loved the spicy marinade, and you could tell the dough was handmade. the soup was delightful- tender beef with perfectly crisp bok choy, and a mild soup base that brought the whole thing together. the food came out super quick and tasted fresh. to me, the tea was the star of the meal (although i am definitely biased because i love a yummy bev), it was not too sweet, and honestly the perfect amount of tart! 10/10 experience here and i am so glad i was recommended it!

    I've never had Boba before, but if this is the precedent for Boba, I am totally happy with that…read more They got some games that aren't completely put together and they usually only have one person working, but their Boba is freaking awesome!

The menu shows a wide variety of items, but many either aren't sold anymore or aren't available later in the evening. More than once we've come specifically for something, waited in line, and only found out at the register that it's not being served, sometimes an hour or two before closing. There's no clear notice about a limited late‑night menu or which items are actually available, so customers end up wasting time and leaving frustrated. On top of that, the teens working the counter often come across as condescending when they deliver that news. It doesn't feel like they've been trained on basic customer communication, and there's rarely an apology or effort to offer alternatives, which makes the whole experience feel dismissive rather than welcoming. Even the small extras feel neglected, all the games in the seating area look crispy and worn, and some of the card games even appear moldy, which doesn't give a good impression about cleanliness or upkeep. This could be an easy fix, update the menus to remove items you no longer sell, clearly mark a late‑night menu with specific hours, refresh or clean the games, and train the front‑of‑house staff on how to communicate those limits respectfully. The concept and late hours are great, but after four tries, the lack of clear communication, poor upkeep, and the attitude at the counter mean we won't be back. It feels like the Am/Pm of Boba.

We came…read morein for a classic Thai tea boba, and the tea itself was incredibly flavorful, even better paired with their honey boba, which added the perfect subtle sweetness. We loved it so much that we order extra boba as the consistency stands out every time. The size, texture, and chewiness of the boba are perfect, which is something a lot of boba spots struggle to achieve. They have an immense menu allowing you to treat your cravings. Despite being busy on a Friday night, service was accurate and timely. The ambiance also makes this place feel extra welcoming. There are several seating options including regular tables, high-top tables, even a couch area for lounging, and seating outside. I also really like how close this cafe is to Glendale Community College. Inside, they also have board games available and a claw machine, which gives the cafe a fun and cozy atmosphere whether you're studying, hanging out with friends, or just stopping by for a drink. Another huge plus was their macaron ice cream sandwiches, which I haven't been able to find at other competitors. They're located in the back and come pre-packaged in a cooler, but the texture is amazing! It is soft, chewy, and structured all at once. Our favorite flavors were vanilla, coffee, and strawberry. Due to limited boba locations in the Glendale area - this is our one stop shop. Definitely a spot worth coming back to! Two large iced Thai teas with extra boba ~ $17.55.

I was greeted right away and waited in line one person ahead of me. I ordered four items, a peach blended drink with boba (recommended by the lovely woman working), two Thai teas with boba (one iced one blended) and a lychee with boba. Since she was the only one working at that time, it did take a moment to get our drinks but was in no rush so wasn't worried about it. Sat down to enjoy the K-pop playing on the tv and watch the fish bowl in the center of the location. They have a cozy couch and a few tables and chairs, it's cute in there and I have enjoyed having a few boba dates with my daughter. There always seems to be enough space to enjoy with one or a small group. The drinks when finished were provided in a recyclable container / holder which was convenient since I was driving them back. The straws are big and ready for your boba and the flavors of all our drinks were so good. Especially the boba, so so good!

I was a frequent customer during it's previous iteration as Yo&I and as Bubble Cups up until 2 or 3 years ago. Tonight was my first time back in years as I found out through a recent post in Yelp that it was closing. I stopped visiting due to personal reasons but I had to make a visit to try to catch the owner and tell her that the shop will be missed and that I was sorry to see them go. For the last hurrah, I made a large order for the following: Raspberry fruit tea x2 Hokkaido Milk Tea And my all time favorite - the Classic House Special The Raspberry and Guava fruit teas are currently buy one, get one free and all other drinks are buy one, get one half off. For my final parting words, if you are in the area or don't mind coming over this way, please visit them one last time before they close for good on Sunday, Dec 28. They have some amazing promos going as a final gift to customers and you will be supporting a local family that have been running this place. Thank you Bubble Cups for the years of great drinks to make my day a little more brighter. I hope to see you again soon someday!

Most of the drinks are not very good, especially for how overpriced everything is. I have recommended this place to others, and they have said the same thing. Many of them chose not to return. The biggest issue is the service. It is consistently unprofessional. There have been times where I was the only person waiting, and it still took a long time just to order because the worker stayed in the back and only came out when he felt like it. On multiple visits, the worker has also sighed heavily, taken a deep breath, and rolled his eyes while I was ordering, even when the order was simple. Other people I know have experienced the same thing. It creates an uncomfortable environment and makes customers feel like an inconvenience just for ordering. The wait times are excessive. It can take up to 30 minutes just to place an order and close to an hour to receive a drink. Having only one person running the shop is clearly not working. At this point, the pricing, service, and wait times do not match the experience being provided. After multiple visits, nothing has improved, and there is no reason to continue coming back.

    Looks cooler than it is…read more Parking is abundant and easy to find! It's part of a shopping plaza, I went late in the evening so it may be different during the day. Staff was only one person, they weren't friendly; they weren't mean they may have been tired, but the friendliness was not there. When I asked for my drink I could see the disappointment in his face perhaps do it being tedious to make? I don't know. The drink I got was the Mangonada! A fun drink but it was all too good. If you enjoyed the Chimoy trend you may enjoy this! It was not for me, the balance between spicy, savory, and sweet was off. The restaurant was average! Great to pickup a quick treat but the design is basic. Plenty of seating, but not somewhere I'd stay for long. All in all, I'd come back to try more drinks they look cool for sure, but the customer service needs work and the design of the restaurant is up to the creativity of the owners.

A few people were dining in when I stopped by and I was greeted by a friendly young employee. Initially, I was just going to get a drink but I perused the menu and decided to get an appetizer as a late lunch/dinner. I ordered their Goi Cuon Tom Thit Nuong - Grilled Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls (2): fresh vegetables, rice vermicelli, grilled pork & shrimp wrapped in rice paper & served with peanut sauce ($6). HOWEVER, since I do not eat pork, I asked if they could only include the shrimp and leave out the pork, and that wasn't a problem at all. Score! For my drink, I went with a classic black milk tea with boba, light ice. I asked about adjusting the sweetness level, and she said they could do more black tea than half & half, and I said that would be good. Price for the drink was $6.50 for a large, and I think the boba was included but otherwise it was $0.50. It didn't take long for my items to be ready and I was on my way. My rolls were packaged nicely and they even included hot sauce in addition to the peanut sauce that comes with. The rolls were delicious; they were a good size and tasted light and refreshing. I loved the peanut sauce and the hot sauce, the latter of which had a nice sour zing to it. My drink was good; it was on the sweeter side but the boba was cooked nicely. I did get some black tea leaves which I wasn't expecting, but at least I know they use real tea and nothing powdered. Great customer service and tasty food and drink items, I'd recommend this spot.
