I’ve ordered from this location and other locations since I was in high school and this has never happened. A simple taro slush with ice cream and these were put in it. I started throwing them out but decided to show them after I kept finding more. This is how much liquid was left in it after taking these things out. Maybe we got the wrong order but it literally had our name and what we ordered on the receipt. Even the condensed milk toast was bad this time. These are my go to desserts and it was not satisfying at all.

My friend & I was waiting 15mins for seating and I noticed 3 tables available but the girl did not seat anyone. There were other ppl waiting too. Talked to another waitress and she said we have wait to be called. Another 20 mins passed and the 3 tables still had no one seated there. My friend and I got seated finally after another 10mins and we ordered. My hot bbtea came, and I had to ask for a spoon to eat my pearls while my friend had to request utensils for her noodles. Then the girl delivered salt & pepper chicken nuggets & walked away. We had to wave a waitress to get utensils. All of us at the table felt the services were bad. I don't believe in giving tips for bad services.

Uber experience at Bubble World Burnaby: The sole purpose of this review is to assist and friendly remind the restaurant of their inconsistency with this highly rated dish and their response in handling the situation. PINEAPPLE SHRIMP BALLS - received has NO SAUCE. Called back the restaurant and inquired if they revised the recipe and/or just missing the sauce (comparing to picture shown)?? The staff responded they are certain there is sauce but if still unsatisfied we can pick-up a "free sauce for our next visit" as a solution for missing in this order. Phone was placed on table while inquiring with packaging/kitchen staff that handled the order. Loud strong vocals in Mandarin argumentatively of certainty in preparation and in no way for error..fighting back with FOH staff via convo on phone. Few months earlier, this same situation occured WITHOUT sauce - and when contacted via app, uber just thanks you for your feedback regarding missing sauce (no refund), and left unable to enjoy the dish properly. This is the second time. This is the 2/2 orders we made for this dish and we find this troublesome, time consuming and distressing over a simple dish. At the end, drove all the way back to Bubble World Burnaby and they gave a replacement, while showing them the order made incorrectly. They suggested for next time to ask uber for full refund on entire uber based on this one dish error. That would completely unfair for the business and I don't recommend doing that in response. Don't recommend ordering this dish/ Recommend ordering Chicken Nuggets & Taro Milk Slush instead.

Horrible, I ordered take out two teriyaki chicken rice bowls. Once I received them it was half the portion it is when dining in. But we payed the same amount .. $30 something for two bowls just for us to receive a smallll portion in both bowls. As if they took one dish and divided it . At this point places like Big way hot pot are better at least for the price. It’s unfortunate because the bowls are tasty but how can you be this stingy.??.. If I could rate them no stars I would.

September 10, 2024

portion shribked dramatically, and very unbalanced between different meals. i ordered a beef stew,and this is the only amount of beef that i received out of the whole bowl. and compare to my friend's fried chicken lunch box, we paying pretty much the same but he's meat portion is like triple compare to mine. havent had them for a while and the shrink in portion really shocked me.

Had a disappointing experience. The service was incredibly slow, and the staff only seemed to attend to certain customers. Even with few people dining, our food took forever to arrive. When it did, the dishes were either too salty or too sweet and overall below average. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're just desperate to fill your stomach.

June 26, 2024

Had the worst meal at this restaurant. Their customer service is bad and the food is below average. Overly seasoning and over cooked. I had to wait for 30 mins for my appetizer to come. You can get much better food from T&T instead with almost the same price and without having to pay for tips. Also their tofu dessert or tofu pudding is gross. Is overly sweetened and not authentic.

Tasty and affordable personal hotpot’s here that come in a large portion. The hot pots come with lots of fish balls, tofu, and assorted vegetables as well as dipping sauces and rice. Tried the vegetable and tofu hot pot with sliced lamb and it was light and delicious and not too salty. The portion was large enough that I could pack some home for another meal and it was under 20 dollars. My friend had the kimchi pot which was equally large and she said it was quite tasty. Solid place for personal hotpot’s and Taiwanese foods at an affordable price. The restaurant is cute with a colorful bubble wall. Service was humble and nice.

Bubble World has forever earned a special place in my heart. The first thing youll notice is the friendly and responsive staff. The second is the beautiful interior design. My go-to orders are usually the matcha ice cream slush with pearls, chicken teriyaki fried rice, or the salty peppery nuggets and takoyaki, all incredibly delicious and mouth-watering. In my humble opinion, Bubble Worlds slushes are the best in the Lower Mainland. They blend the ice nice and thin, curate just the right amount of sweetness, and prepare the pearls with the perfect chewy consistency. This place is always the first destination I have in mind when friends want a sweet treat!

Considering the location and opening hours, the food quality is pretty good and the prices are reasonable. The hotpot is about $20 and the meat is quite filling. If I have to say something bad, the hot pot soup base is a bit bland and the Taiwanese pork belly is greasy.

Worst bubble tea ever!

October 21, 2024

It was a busy night and I waited over 40 minutes for a table. I was sitting in a seat right beside the door and when I came up to the front to ask them about the wait. They said that they tried calling me but I didnt come up. I asked how long it would be for the next table and they let us sit 5 minutes afterwards. There was six of us and they wanted us to sit in two different booths that werent even beside each other. I tried to ask to just pull up a chair to the edge and they said no. When given utensils, they gave us all disposable and flimsy items while every other table has real dishes. They gave our food our later than other tables that ordered similar dishes and it felt as if they were deliberately ignoring us. It was a terrible experience with customer service but the food was okay. I felt as if the employees were deliberately trying to avoid our group as we were bigger in number and it was a busy night, however, that does not excuse the way they behaved towards us.

server lady doesnt seem like understanding what weve asked a few times, and when there was an empty table, when ask them to grab seats; she said its not available but when asked again, she cleaned for us, what kind of service is this..? Also, when asked for wifi password, she said there is none; but obviously there is one available? horrible service

The food was great, we always go here when we hungry but today we got disrespectful from the staff,, we were thinking to dine in or not because the place a bit full, so we think which table we can sit but the staff higher the voice to us asking for dine or to go. Before it the other staff already asked nicely but this guy really acted so bad. If you are in bad mood don t bring it to work please be professional.

I went there with my family because it was a place full of memories from when they were young. The inside of the store had an old feel and looked ordinary, but the menu was really delicious, and the person wearing glasses was very kind and helpful, so it was an even better experience. pork? Hawaiian fried rice topped with pineapple (pineapple fried rice, but the pineapple flavor is not too strong) and sandwich chicken are the best! The taro milk tea was also delicious~~

terrible service, not recommended place if the service really really bad, not professional, he is so rude and maybe he is in the bad mood, which is also put us into bad mood

Got my takeout and the chicken wasnt packed with my noodles. Called back to ask for my chicken but as soon as the staff answered they said we are closed and hung up on me... I dont expect to have top tier service at a Bubble World but wow lol I can only laugh about it This has been my go-to location for years but this is the worst experience :( Edit: apologized and gave us credit for next time. Kitchen was closed so plain noodles it is tonight lol

The food was quite good, but the staff seemed too busy and didn t have much time for each customer. The waitress felt rushed and lacking in patience. I ordered wonton soup, milk tea, and tofu dessert. Be aware, the tofu dessert was served in a milk tea cup instead of a bowl, which is how it s typically served in China. Food

For both take out and dine-in, the food has consistently been a great quality, while service is also friendly and helpful. For ordering take out, the only annoyance at times is the communication errors with the ladies staff due to language barriers, the plexiglass barrier, on top of the high noise atmosphere during busy times causing order problems. But I return anyways (since they are greatly missed whenever they temporarily close to renovate).

A casher who works on evening shift is nice. Everytime I order items to-go in the evening(usually Monday), I meet her. She is very sweet which makes me feel comfortable visiting there more often than before. Bubble world has a good cashier to welcome customers for sure. And sometimes I miss when I dined in around 1-2am before pandemic.

I particularly like Da Touzais beef noodles because the meat can be removed, which is a good choice for me who dont like meat. However, every time I want to change the noodles to udon, it is very troublesome and I need to call the store to change it. If I am lucky, I can get through. , the clerk will say that Uber can make a note, but I never found the option to make a note, so I have to call. The point is that the phone is always busy, and it depends on luck to get what I want to eat... I m really helpless about this problem When can the store confirm that Uber has a note and answer the call immediately...

Came here for lunch. Got chicken with rice, spicy noodle soup and a marinated egg. All tasted delicious. The price was fair and they gave a huge portion of chicken. The server (I think his name might be steven according to the bill), was very friendly and quick. Very very great person as a server. Parking here is pretty difficult. Street parking is always full and there s construction around the area at the moment.

Beware!! I came with my family last weekend and ordered their pork dish and got food poisoning. That same night I threw up 8 times. It was so bad I couldnt get out of bed for 3 days already. At this point dont even know when i will get better. Body ache, fever, chills and lots of trip to bathroom. To the restaurant if you are reading this please be cautious with the your standard of sanitary. I can say I will never return. Its not worth the pain.

This use to be the spot 10-13 years ago. Lineups out the door, packed every night, always had excellent food for a good price and well presented. I introduced so many friends to this place back then. My partner and I went here the other night and oh boy was I disappointed. The place is FILTHY. Dust just caked on top of itself, handprints and smears all over glass, everyone who works there has a low vibe, run down, understaffed and all wearing sweaters/sweatpants. It looks like a low end mall cafeteria that survives off of takeout from holding onto their original recipes. It s unfortunate that they don t care to invest in themselves and their staff to keep up with what it once was. Still great food and there are other good bubble worlds elsewhere but just sad to see a thriving business loose its pride and value.

Had lunch here for 3 people. Nothing to rave about and just average. The salty peppery chicken nuggets are a classic but it isnt over the top good. Bubble tea is not bad - had the taro slush. Other dishes we had include: deep fried shrimp, pork ears, pork and squid dish, egg rolls. Again - Average and dont expect to be wowd. Taste again was average but worth the stop for a bubble tea and chicken nuggets.

Decent prices for lunch and taste is very consistent. Ive always gone with them when we cant think of stuff to eat. Recent find would be roasted fried rice with cheese on top. I might blame them for my recent weight gain. Most recent visit I ordered the fried fish fillet on rice. This is the first time in my life that I had this without the tar tar sauce. If this was intentional then inwo t order it anymore. I was so dry after this.

December 21, 2023

I ordered two fish fillets on Uber, they always give me the white sauce without me telling them many times. But today they didn t give me any and tell me to contact Uber. Uber don t do anything about it and wasted my time and my money for this experience. Don t ordered on Uber, they won t do anything.

December 21, 2023

Just like Mark lee, order from uber no sauce for the foods, Restaurant tell u to contact uber, uber didnt do anything about it and tell u to contact the restaurant again..im just like a ball they re bouncing me around with no action needed to be done!!!!

I usually order on Ubereats. I really like the porkchop sandwich, I do like their slush as well. The reason for the 2 stars is because so many times I ordered a slush but for some strange reason they make me a milk tea. I even leave notes on Ubereats to make me a slush but they still make me a milk tea. I think the employees are not reading the orders correctly. I believe it said Milk tea at the top of the receipt. Then at the bottom it said change to slush for 50 cents extra. They are not reading the full order.

Ordered take out twice..... First time had their fried nuggets and rice.... Very small portion and I was merely ok. Gave it another chance and for 17 bucks, I got traditional Taiwanese Three Sauce Squid. Very chewy squid, very small palm-sized portion of rice, and still hungry afterwards. I feel so silly for giving them a second chance.

CASH AND CANADIAN DEBIT ONLY. We had to run to a currency exchange just a couple blocks away at the Crystal Mall since were from the US, but it was well worth it! Everything my hubby and I had tasted PERFECT and service was super speedy and friendly. We were initially seated at a two-person table, but after hearing how much we were ordering, our waiter offered to move us to a four-person booth so all of the food would fit. During the ordering process, he also offered food recommendations since they have a pretty large menu, and he checked in with us mid-meal despite it being busy with the dinner rush. I love being able to adjust the sweetness level for the teas, and they had three whole lychees in my lychee red (black) tea, which was a pleasant surprise. Food portions were generous and we were stuffed. For $67 CAD, we had plenty of leftovers for another full meal. Vegetarian options: Im not vegetarian but I have friends who are, so I love a place with great veggie options! I can honestly say that the veggie dishes we got (egg roll with corn, deep fried king oyster mushrooms) were as good as the dishes with meat--if not better!

One employee felt like he was new and made mistakes frequently, but I don t know if he was the boss or the store manager. He was very patient and had an excellent service attitude. However, when he was educating employees in the kitchen, his voice was so loud that even if he was sitting next to the window, he could hear it. It was a bit... The awkward atmosphere of the moment. I ordered three cups of chicken and the fried sweet and spicy ones were both above par. The garlic white meat was not unpalatable, but it was different from what I expected. It looked like hot pot pork slices instead of large slices of pork. The thickness of the meat was a bit disappointing, but the rest was not too impressive. Eat it occasionally and savor it.

December 21, 2023

The food is delicious . It s true that we just arrived and didn t know how to tip. you can tell us But the attitude doesn t have to be this way If the clerk reminds us when we check out, we will not refuse to give it. Is it too exaggerated to chase after us and say that we have embarrassed Taiwan? I think your attitude is more embarrassing.

Ordered classic beef noodle soup and the new Taiwanese chicken rice bowl. Both were good but had some issues. The beef and broth is good. But the noodles was meh. The new Taiwanese chicken bowl is served cold chicken and bamboo. I wish it was mentioned that it was cold on the menu. The favour was good.

I do not recommend ordering their Beef Brisket on Rice dish. As you can see from the image, there s barely any brisket. It s mainly rice and sauce. Having said that, their Taiwanese chicken nugget rice platter and their traditional stew pork are solid selections. Portions are not stingy. I politely let the staff know that the portion was small in which she replied with that s normal and walked off. For the rest of our meal we received the cold shoulder.

I bought hazelnut milk tea with black beans and it was awesome. Specially the beans were so great that I think these were the best one I tried till today. Sweetness and ice in the drink was perfect. Communication was little difficult and i will blame mask and also my lack of knowledge about bubble teas. Awesome place for bubble tea as the name is.

One of the oldest brands that has survived the changing times in Vancouver for this type of cuisine. Havent had it for probably 10+ years, decided to try this location, ordered some takeout hotpot. Good portions and taste for price. Good value.

It tasted good, but I ordered spicier but it wasnt spicy at all, which was quite disappointing. In addition, when I ordered a meal and shaved ice, I forgot to remind the shaved ice to be served after the meal, but the shaved ice was served first... Although I forgot to tell them, the clerk didnt ask thoughtfully, so I was a little disappointed.

This particular location is one of our favorites. The food is mouth-watering, my favourite being the 3-sauce mushroom, the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the cooks are fast. Quality ingredients, reasonably priced. So many delicious bubble tea flavours and you can adjust to your liking.

There is no nine-layer pagoda in the salted crispy chicken, and there is no five-spice powder in the salt and pepper. This is not salt crispy chicken at all. Don t call yourself a Taiwanese restaurant.

Busy place. They were swamped with take out and dine in orders when we arrived at around 2pm for a late lunch on a weekend. We got the Taiwanese salt and pepper chicken nuggets, pork and cabbage dumplings, vegetarian egg fried rice. For drinks we had milk tea slush with pearls and mango ice cream slus with pearls. Everything tasted really good. Service was good. Restaurant could have been a bit cleaner. It felt like they were kind of understaffed.

There are countless times I have brought my husband here in the last 3 years, and equally how many times we have ordered via ubereats. Food quality is well maintained and staff are nice. My husband will never say no to their salt pepper fried chicken nuggets. Weve tried almost every item on their menu. I like deep fried king oyster mushrooms/ tofu/ squid feet, takoyaki, pork intestine noodle soup, dirty matcha latte, and honey lemon red tea.

nice and very attentive staff, not too busy early afternoon

December 21, 2022

Food is but decent and the restaurant interior is nice. The staff seem to be very rushed and busy even though the restaurant was around half capacity when I went. The review would be higher but it seems a common theme in this restaurant as pointed out by other reviews is rude service. One of the waitresses were very rude and had a lot of attitude. When our food was ready she would dump the plate on our table and rush away without a word. When my table tried to order additional food she was annoyed gave a rude comment about how we didn t order on the first pass instead. Even when it was time to pay the bill I noticed a lack of a thank you, which I don t mind but as we were already being treated poorly it stood out. The other members of staff were nice but the waitress serving our table ruined our experience. The food is nothing special and the service is a big miss, I recommend visiting somewhere else.

It was packed on a Friday night but so glad that we could get a seat by just walking in. All the restaurants around were full! The food was good and service was better than I expected! The staff was attentive with refilling our waters. They even have hot water because it s cold outside. I ordered the mini hotpot. It was filling with a variety of ingredients. They were generous with the portions. The restaurant didn t seem clean. There were some fruit flies around and floors are dirty.

The food was not bad, however the meat was dry, and we have no choice but to sit close to the restroom. The waitress did not go by the table until we were pretty much done. Some people like it but for me it is not the greatest regarding the food, price and service.

This shop has been here for about 20 years, start with bubble tea only and now also serving food. I pass by today and bought a bubble tea, the menu selection they have stays same as 20 years ago, which would be a bit out dated compare to a lot of new shops, still taste good though, but I would prefer others than them.

This is that place that you go tofor some comfort Taiwanese food. The salt and peppery fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, and of course dont forget the bubble tea. While Everytime over went everything tasted good, it was really ok. Dont get me wrong, nothing tasted bad! But it isnt your date night restaurant with a significant other unless youre looking for fast and convenient and craving bubble tea. I dont crave Bubble world but when youre in a pinch, it is a good option. Also heads up they only take cash or debit

Disappointed food. I ordered traditional three sauce chicken and kung pao squids. The chef forgot to put salt on it???? There are almost chicken legs/knees and no meat from that chicken at all. What I can taste is the chicken joint. Squid has no taste at all as well. DO NOT RECOMMEND

December 21, 2021

It would be nice if I didnt give stars First: I don t accept credit cards. I don t know if it s for tax evasion or something else. Second: The waiter has a bad attitude and won t even bring you water or paper. Third: Since you are learning to order food using domestic QR codes, don t have to fill in your mobile phone number again on the app QR code page. Fourth: The sanitary environment is worrying, the floor is sticky and the bathroom is dirty. The machine is very noisy and the trash can is right next to it. Fifth, the seats are very crowded I wish i give no star to this restaurant 1: they don t accept credit card, wondering they re trying to avoid tax 2. bad attitude, no water and tissues provided 3. QR code scan have to verify phone number and name again don t have actual menu , the app is not well designed anyway 4. Dirty. floor and washroom not clean, inside this place you can t hear anything. 5. seat is tiny I guess the owner doesnt care at all. I guess owner even don t check the reviews, pathetic.

Much better when dining in. But still, food is mediocre at best. Today I ordered Salty peppery chicken nuggets on Uber eats and they were soggy and wet; which doesn t happen when you order in restaurant. I also ordered noodle soup and when I looked at the soup, I wondered if I was oil and onion peel soup? FULL of oil onion peels. I couldn t even get one sip of soup without an onion peel in it. Do they not peel their onions? This makes me think they probably don t wash them either. Anyways, the noodle soup was greasy and the chicken was soggy. I don t think I ll order out from here ever again.

I got this as-is. I did asked for extra pearls, but I would expect liquid filling the cup, not like this a tea bag on top of pearls, and not much milk tea there.
