    Front of Jumbo Jumbo Cafe
    Jon T.

    It's Jumbo Jumbo Cafe! How could anyone not resist going to a place with that as it's name? I ventured all the way from VA just to try this place out ( and hang out with friends ) but this was definitely worth it. It's a small cafe, with a small parking lot next to a gas station. When I went here, there was ample parking but don't let the one hour limit scare you. I'm sure you won't find a lot of people here on a Sunday afternoon.. I got the usual, Passionfruit Green Tea with Lychee Jelly. Of course, I got it in the biggest size because why not? Go big or go home right? Drinking it however, it didn't feel any different compared to the other boba places I've went to. The taste felt the same but hey.. you get a lot for what you pay for right? It's okay. I feel like the food is probably the star here. For me, the Taiwanese Fried Chicken was what I was mainly here for. You might be thinking, this is a lot of driving just for some chicken. Let me tell you this. These bite sized, juicy, succulent pieces of chicken will always be worth the trip no matter where I am. I absolutely love that it comes in a small bucket too. It's great as a way to share with your friends but me being someone who just loves food a bit too much, I ate it all along with drinking the tea I got too. If there's one thing I can say about the chicken though; it's not spicy at all. Maybe the other locations do it better but I did not feel the intense heat. That's fine though, I still enjoyed eating it. This is a must get whenever I'm in Germantown.

    Friendly service, short wait for take-out orders, inviting interior (clean and modern, airy). However, food is definitely not the same as the Jumbo Jumbo in Rockville. Menu is much shorter and simpler, and the taste is definitely Americanized (unlike the authentic Jumbo Jumbo). Packaging is different too (still good packaging). The kumquat drink is still great (same taste as the branch in Rockville). The fried tempura is so bland that we didn't finish it. It's supposed to be our favorite dish. Don't order that one at this branch (the Rockville store is much better). Taiwanese popcorn is alright but not as good as those from Rockville. Not enough basil (love fried basil). Not enough spice. But not too bad ... Winter hours are 11 am to 7:30 pm

    I grabbed dinner with a friend for a sit down meal. The food was delicious and the service friendly. Parking was right in front of the store and free. The ambiance is light and inviting. Wishing it had more seating space but it did the trick. The chicken was tender and fried perfectly. I wouldn't mind ordering from the location again.

    A cute little place! I got there right when they opened, so I had no wait to order and it only took a few minutes for my drink. I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Milk Tea, which is a seasonal menu item. They had a couple different toppings you could choose from for the drinks if you want them, so I added some boba to mine. The flavor itself wasn't really that strong, but it still tasted good. I just wish it was a little more pumpkin spice-y.

    Pork Chop with Ground Pork on rice (pork chop combo)
    Angel P.

    I've ordered take out/third-party delivery from Jumbo Jumbo a few times and we always order the pork chop combo. It comes with three pork chops, ground pork, boiled egg, house vegetables, and rice. We ordered the pork chop combo and taiwanese chicken (extra spicy; not pictured). Not that crispy by the time it was delivered, but it wasn't a big deal. Flavor-wise, both dishes were good. I always enjoy the pork chop combo.

    Shaved ice with lychee, pudding and brown sugar.
    Kristina S.

    Came here for boba but was tempted by the shaved ice and taro balls. They were so good! The shaved ice is HUGE and comes with 3 toppings of your choice. The taro balls were like fried donuts with tarp in the middle. The staff are really nice and are happy to explain their menu to you (the shaved ice isn't on the menu, but uses the same ingredients). I have had their chicken in past visits and love it. It is very small inside, but does have some indoor and outdoor seating.

    Taiwanese Chicken (2 orders)

    They have amazing Taiwanese popcorn chicken! So so good. We asked for extra crispy and they certainly were! Perfectly seasoned and fried and super juicy chicken. They also gave us huge portions and it was great for the price. I also got brown sugar milk tea boba and it was tasty, too! The bubbles were a bit hard, but not bad. Would definitely come back to Jumbo Jumbo!

    Chicken, noodles, bubble tea
    Thomas N.

    We ordered jumbo jumbo the other day for the lunch special. They offered the chicken, noodles, and a small bubble tea. It came out to $15 each so we got 2 quantity. Honestly, this was my first time and I would say the food is ehh. Chicken was great but the noodles had no flavor. They just put the sauce at the bottom and even though I mixed it.. it was still in flavorful. I did not drink the bubble tea but my sister said it was good. Chicken is good and had flavor but noodles was .

Located in the shopping center with Woodside Deli and Gold Gym this place is too cute for Gaithersburg. It barely has a social media presence but it is so photogenic it needs to be more popular. The pastries here are mostly animal shaped. Thus the adorable part. I ordered the following: -Bear shaped cocoa cream puff -minion cakesicle -hello kitty macaron -croque monsuier -basque cheesecake -a ridiculously cute frog cake -brown sugar milk tea Everything tasted as good as it looked. The cream puff had a whipped frosting and a light mousse filling. The savory croque hit the spot when surrounded by sweets. The cake omg could devoured in one sitting by one person. Light cream and filled with strawberries. The pastries here are so light that they almost feel strangely healthy and don't leave you feeling heavy. The bubble tea however, was a little sweet. I would've very much preferred if we had a choice of how sweet it could be but otherwise it's really good. The service is friendly. There's a few tables to sit down and hang out at. I can't wait to come back here and get the tiramisu.

They offer plenty of other treats, including pre‑packaged goodies (cookies and breads), mini and full‑sized cakes, and a variety of beverages like coffee, tea, and bottled drinks. Support this local business. It's absolutely worth the visit.

The frosting used on the outside and the cream used on the inside was not the fluffy and soft kind we liked and was not similar to the other cakes from this bakery that we liked. It tasted like hard butter and unfortunately we had to throw out the entire cake since everyone refused to eat more than the first bite. My husband asked the employee if this was a vanilla sponge cake and they said yes since he cannot eat chocolate cake. Unfortunately once we cut it, it was chocolate. It was a waste of $50+ and would not recommend unless you're just purchasing for pictures and not to eat. The mango and strawberry croissants were good with sweet whipped cream. I liked how the cream also tasted like mango in the mango croissant. The sweet pretzel was also good and crunchy. The inside of the store is nice with plenty of tables. I also liked how there were a lot of outlet spaces.

The restaurant is super clean. If I could go back in time, the only thing I would do differently would be to skip the protein smoothie. The description sounded very flavorful and delicious, but the reality was muted and boring. It had chunks of ice in it and tasted more of stevia than of banana, and I could not taste the espresso even a little bit, even though I saw him put it in there. I am wondering if the flavor of the vanilla protein powder took over? I could taste a watered down flavor of almond, vanilla, and something like stevia or monkfruit, but I could not taste banana, coffee, or cacao nibs. There was zero richness for something containing both banana and almond butter. Zero. That said, I will definitely go back again and again and again for their other items. I just will not be ordering the protein smoothie again as I mourn the $13 I spent on it.
