Simply Boba - 02. Banh Mi Ga (Five Spice Chicken) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lancaster, New York

While I am still recovering, I needed a quick dinner and didn't feel like cooking. Simply Boba to the rescue! I went with my usual favorite with the lemongrass beef banh mi, while my wife opted for the chicken ramen. We ordered it for pick up and it was ready so quick. I am a creature of habit, when I find something I like, I usually eat that every time. That's the case with the banh mi. The flavor of the beef is phenomenal here. The toppings are always fresh here too, making this sandwich one of the best. My wife also loved her chicken ramen and said it was one the best she's ever had. Excited to see how the new bistro they are moving into soon keeps churning out great food and excellent service. read more

Friendly staff & yummy food! In addition to boba, they offer bahn mi, egg rolls, noodle salad & more! I visited their Grand Island location which has recently closed and they are moving or have moved to a really nice spot on Main Street in Lancaster; it looks like it will be quite spacious. I was greeted right away when I came in and shared in some friendly conversation when he was making my boba. I ordered a matcha brown sugar boba tea and a lemongrass beef bahn mi bowl. I sipped on my boba tea while I waited for my food for takeout. It was tasty and not too sweet, though I felt the brown sugar slightly overpowered the matcha and I would prefer the opposite. My bahn mi bowl came out hot & fresh. It actually stayed warm my whole drive back to work, which was around 20 minutes. The vegetables were crisp & fresh, the beef was tender and flavorful and the rice was perfectly cooked. I look forward to visiting their new location in Lancaster. I've got my eye on a nice big bowl of ramen! read more

Small, friendly restaurant offering selection of banh mi, pho, ramen and boba. Most of their business send to be take out, but they do have a small seating area for about 12-15 people. The pho has a excellent broth and tastes fresh and home made. Order at the counter and food will be brought to your table. read more

I'm speechless. You just don't find food this good anywhere. Simply boba is my new favorite food in all of Buffalo! The bonh mi - the best I have ever had. It's so fresh, so delicious, the bread is the absolute perfect texture and taste. I could eat one every day. We love the lemongrass beef - tastes amazing. The freshness of the cilantro.... the crunch of the cucumber and carrots.... Just phenomenal. The ramen - so unreal good. The broth is unbelievable. You can tell it is made with heart and soul poured into it. Everything in it is amazing, it's exactly what you want in your ramen. This is the best ramen in WNY. No question. read more

I am all about giving credit where it is due and my goodness, if you haven't tried Simply Boba yet on Broadway in Lancaster, you need to. I ordered to-go today! I have been DYING for a great local Ramen place and this hit the spot. The flavor in this broth was so comforting and delicious, the noodles cooked perfectly, the shrimp had a nice bold flavoring and perfect sear. Huge portion with good pricing! I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte with Boba (it had fresh strawberry puree at the bottom, soooo good!) & Pho Tai (Pho with rare beef that cooks in the broth, great comfort food for a sick day!) I understand that ordering cuisine you may not be familiar with can be intimidating sometimes (though everything is explained on their menu!) If you'd like this exact dish, it's called the Sho Ramen with Shrimp. Welcome to Lancaster, Simply Boba! I am so grateful for my new favorite lunch spot read more

Vinh & Michele are the NICEST people you'll ever meet. I rented their "back room" for a birthday party and while I protected the kids' faces, I promise they were super happy. Everyone got boba drinks, nearly everyone got croffles. There was lots of laughter and fun. There are so many choices on the menu. Vinh & Michele agreed to bring the ingredients for shaken beef because I saw it on their Grand Island webpage & wanted to have it as my meal. TOTALLY worth it. Lots of pepper (both the veggie and the seasoning). It was sooo good. My first boba here was the tiger tea - so tasty & not too sweet, IMO. Today, I enjoyed the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Give this new-to-Lancaster business a try. You won't be sorry! read more

I love Vietnamese food so when I heard this restaurant was in Lancaster, I was thrilled! We had a lemongrass beef banh mi and a banana, pecan and Nutella croffle. The bread for the Bahn mi was delicious and definitely the best I've had locally. The fillings were fresh and tasty and it had the perfect amount of sauce. The croffle was yummy. It's basically a croissant that is placed in a waffle iron and then topped with whatever you choose. It's savory and buttery on the bottom and sweet with Nutella, bananas and pecans. Great combo I pass by this spot on my way home from work, so I will be stopping often! read more

A wonderful cafe serving boba tea, croffles, which is a croissant waffle mix with toppings, banh mi, and pho. The interior is cute and cozy. There is a seating area where you can read and drink and eat and enjoy your time there. Ample seating. The owners are the employees and it is truly a family business. It is delightful and you can see their passion in their product. Got a bubble tea and chili crisp. Bubblel tea was wondeful and worth the wait Can't wait to be here once a week! read more

The food is absolutely astounding. The five-spice pork bahn mi (pronounced "bawn me") is not to be missed, 10/10. The lemongrass bahn mi was also wonderful, of equal quality but a matter of personal taste for the 5-spice. We had ramen in addition to the bahn mi, and boba tea with so many choices of flavors and bobas. To top it off, there were croffles (croissant waffles) with a variety of toppings. The perfect end to a fantastic meal! The staff was charming and pleasant. The family that owns the restaurant is beautiful, and all the kids helped out, either in the kitchen or bussing tables. The restaurant is small, and the menu is purposely limited to better serve customers, but the food quality is never compromised. They do a few things and do them excellently! I am excited to visit their other location or to come back when I'm in the area! read more

I was thrilled to find a boba place in Lancaster but was a bit worried when I realized that this was a Vietnamese place since Boba drinks are originated from Taiwan... But of course this place is a must try for me as a ramen lover and a boba drinker. It's a small establishment with a few tables and order at the counter service. The owners Vinh and Michelle are super nice and we learned that they have another Simply Boba restaurant in Grand Island that offers fuller menus. We ordered Tiger boba tea, lemongrass beef ba minh, miso ramen with shrimp and tonkatsu ramen with tofu. The ba minh was delicious and the ramen noodles are not the typical Japanese style ramen. The noodle is a Vietnamese style white noodle (less chewy, not curly), surprisingly we really enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back!!! Just a sidenote, all ramen comes with a Vietnamese chili spice. If you can't take the heat (the miso ramen was a little spicy for my 10 yrs old), ask for them not to add to the soup. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. The Bubble Tea doesn't do much for me but I'm always up to try a new place for Banh Mi. Ordered online for pickup. First thing to note is if you're coming here parking choices are limited as it's on the corner of Broadway and School St. I believe I heard they're moving into the Village Of Lancaster that should help, but FYI. Arrived about the time my food was supposed to be ready ( 25 Mins after ordering ) and was told it'd be right out. Sat and waited another 10 minutes and finally received my food. Dug in to the Banh Mi and while it was tasty, it was half cold....probably due to the fact it sat and waited while the spring rolls I ordered were ready ( which were piping hot when I got them ). Tasty sandwich but how hard can it be to time the food together if this is what you do all day / every day. Disappointed. Gave them 3 Stars because the food itself was tasty, but wanted to give them 5 Stars but simply wasn't enough to compel me to give them another try read more

Had another delicious meal at Simply Boba. I had the tonkotsu ramen which was very tasty and full of pork and noodles. My wife's lemongrass banh mi sandwich was equally as good. The strawberry boba yea was so good! Service is extremely friendly! We love the owners!! They are definitely there to please you either the delicious food! The restaurant is rather small, but we have always been able to find a table to sit. Seems like they do a lot of local take out service. We will definitely be back!! read more

The food is exquisit. Coupled with the atmosphe, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our service, Elise, was so knowledgeable about the menu and was able to guide us through all the options. Highly recommend trying ! read more

New family owned business in Lancaster. I ordered the fruit and milk tea with the caramel and coffee. This was amazing! We also got the build your own Banh Mi and Tonkotsu ramen. These weren't great. Maybe it was just me, but when one of their daughters brought our food out, mine wasn't even warm. At this rate we had already waited at a dirty table for about half an hour, so we left. For what it's worth, every table was dirty. If screaming babies, kids running around everywhere, and the mom caring for her son while making your drink is your thing, this place is for you. read more

The milk tea is delicious! There special drinks, especially the Selina is just amazing. The owner is super kind and made the drinks for us fairly quickly and with quality. The place inside is aesthetic and has nice seating. Will definitely be coming back and can't wait for them to complete their relocation. read more

The pho soup I ordered tasted horrible. Really salty and they barely gave any beef with it .

Unfortunately, the tables were all dirty. The atmosphere felt like a daycare, they should really put a curtain up because you can see into their living room. There was a baby being cared for by another young child, and several other young children running around unsupervised which was concerning. The pho broth tasted off, maybe prepackaged or the fish sauce was added to close to service, the bahn mi was a okay. The boba was excellent, that's about all. We won't be back because the atmosphere made me panic. The family seemed nice and friendly, unphased by the state of things but take out would be the only acceptable way to dine here. read more

Simply Boba is a fantastic new gem in Lancaster! This family-run business offers incredibly flavorful and delicious food, with options that accommodate vegetarians & vegans--something I really appreciate. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. My kids absolutely love this place and keep asking to go back! While parking isn't the most convenient, it's well worth the visit.

The food tasted amazing and I cannot help but smile every time I walk in. The owners are so welcoming and friendly. I had the five spice pork banh mi and will be back to try the whole menu. read more

FIrst time hear to try ordered ramen, spring rolls and bamni. Thought it was way overpriced for what it was spring rolls were bite size, bamni was great but not for 13 bucks when i can get one for half the price down the road ramen was ok but highly perfer pho cali. problem wont go back to expensive and no parking read more

Their food is soooooo good; they just need to work out some kinks which I know is due to being new! Nicest guy, fantastic ramen. Their pork is delicious and their bahn mi's are incredible. Def need more help. We waited almost an hour twice now for food and the tables desperately needed a good wipe down. They've also been sold out of what we were looking for a few times. Overall though highly recommend!!! read more

Been waiting for this to open, was not disappointed. Beef pho and pork banh mi are a must try. The food was packaged extremely well for take out which tells me that the owner really cares about his customers. read more

Picked up take out, was delicious and fresh! Was also very flavorful. Got the shrimp rice bowl

Stopped in today a few minutes after open. Banh Mi was the best I have ever had. Cooked perfectly and a great balance of flavors and freshness. The Brown Sugar Matcha was soooooo good, they were able to make it with oat milk for me. It's something I would drink as a treat as it is quite sweet. This is not a place I would normally sit down and eat at, it's not set up great for that but for takeout it's perfect. I look forward to coming back and bringing friends to try. read more

Flavor! Flavor! Flavor! I live very close to this place and this will probably be a once or twice per week must have for me. Today I had the Lemon Grass Beef Bahn Mi and I cannot stop raving about how good it is. In the past I've also had the Boba, the Croffle (Think croissant pressed in a waffle maker) both delicious- and the shrimp here is cooked to absolute perfection. read more
