Pretty good. Had a meeting in the area and went in for a quick bite. Tried the lamb, it was cooked pretty well. Upgraded to a combo for $4.50 more rather than buying steamed rice for $1.50. They obviously know what they are doing as the dishes look amazing.
I am very impressed with the staff at bubble world. Especially the lady with the short hair (I think her named started with an A) We came as a group of 20 on Sept 21, near closing hour after Gospel Night, an event at anvil center. Personally, I was just going to get a drink and leave since I wasn't feeling well. But the group was too big and the orders took a long time. All the while, this staff was extremely patient with us, and wasn't angry at all, eveb though some people in our group weren't being the most respectful. It took 30 minutes to get everyone's order, and it was already last call. By the time they were closing up, we were paying our bill. Some people in our group were taking a group photo, and our waitress offered to take one for us. Bubble World is always my favorite Taiwanese restaurant because it was one of the first ones in greater Vancouver. I'm glad that the quality of both food and service has not changed.
I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. Not a lot of vegetarian options, but what they do have is definitely worth a try. We had the deep fried tofu which comes with a siracha-type sauce and kimchi, the fried king oyster mushrooms- very high value as a big flavourful crispy bowlful, and the vegetarian noodles which had so great little nuggets of flavour and texture. Their bubble tea menu is extensive with many more options than other local shops- high quality and far less expensive. Make the trip there with a group: it is spacious and accessible!
The food didn't taste good, and the service was indifferent. There was mold at the bottom of the water bottle. We asked the waiter to replace it, but the new one still had mold. They didn't understand what we were saying at all. 😮💨
The food here has no right to be this good. It’s a bubble tea place that delivers better food than restaurants dedicated to Taiwanese cuisine. It’s worth a sit down and dine. Highly recommend the Taiwanese Chicken here, the personal hot pot is also well presented and flavourful. Bubble tea is up to standard with gourmet places without the price tag. Suitable for dining with non Asian friends too! 😇
Had a positive experience at this location, the beef soup was a nice comfort food, simple and tasty broth. We tried the assorted marinated platter and the shank and chicken gizzard were my fav. Overall a good experience, the one waitress was super friendly, attentive and went above and beyond with her service.
3.5 stars for the food. The food feels like a touch above food court quality and lacks something. The fried chicken lacks a freshness and plumpness, and the broth of the beef noodle soup lacks a bit of richness. This particular location always seems empty. The servers seem friendly and manage large groups well.
The seating and restaurant environment itself is very clean and comfy. The food is good but my baked pork chop over fried rice with red sauce barely had tomato sauce on it such that the ratio was off and you are mainly eating the dry fried rice (which had good flavour but could have used a lot more tomato sauce). The milk seafood hot pot was good as well. Would be even better if you could cook your own raw lamb at the table yourself like real hotpot.
This is the go to spot for the best outing experience. Food is amazing. Everything was perfect!
It s hard to find a great restaurant with good food and service but Bubble World really delivered both. Alin was super attentive, professional and friendly. My family of 10 came for dinner and she was super attentive to all the small young children. Highly recommended for family with small children! Thank you Alin for your great service and will sure to be back again! Kid-friendliness: Has kids cutlery, high chair and space for stroller
Good food
We ordered 2 taro slushes. We don t normally come here but we re in the area so figured why not try it. We couldn t even finish the drinks that s how bad they were. There were chunks of ice in them and the flavour was terrible.
Love it yummy too!
Love bubble world but they keep forgetting to add straw, like tonight. How can I drink grass jelly drink without a straw?
Today is july 25. Me and my colleauge took an uber after we get off from work as health care workers at 9pm and we reach the restaurant around 9:18pm. We were informed that the restaurant is already closed and we order anymore at 9:18 pm while it clearly says on google that the restaurant is open til 10 pm. Is this true? If not how come they never entertain us? We are exhausted from taking care of patients so we went down to your restaurant to treat ourselves for a good asian food only to turn us down at 9:18pm because of a lame excuse. If you guys are not going to accept orders anymore during those operation hours maybe its about time to change the closing time of 10 pm to 930pm. This is not acceptable. I need to speak to your upper management. Next time well keep that in mind that u are close at 930pm.
We came here for dinner; The drink is very suitable for young people. The food is quite good; I ordered a plate of stir-fried noodles with vegetables, I felt it was a bit salty. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived.
This is a note for myself. Never come here again until the price changes. The popcorn chicken and noodles were $18+ including tax. The potion of the noodle has become very small. The restaurant is very empty. There is no point in having 3 servers in an empty restaurant. I personally dont like making this dish because of the oil I will use, but since its $18+, I can make a week worth of popcorn chicken for that price. Nothing on the menu is worthy. It is stupidly expensive. Popcorn chicken is $11.99... run to KFC or churchs chicken and get a 3 piece combo with a drink for that price or get pho. There was a part of me that wanted to walk out when I saw the food. I cook better than you.
price to portion ratio not as good as competitors but still have tasty food. downside is service. very minimal to no check ins, no questions between dining or thank you when leaving. a bit disappointed
good portions and affordable prices.
I ve been going to Bubble world for 10 years and have never had a bad experience up until last night. They close at 10:00 and went over to to order a slush Togo. I walked in at 9:33 and was told last call had already been done. I think that s absolutely ridiculous. I was incredibly disappointed since it was such a hot night and didn t think it would be much inconvenience to make a drink 3 minutes after last call. Also, I ve never heard last call 30 minutes before close . The server was in a very big rush to get out of there. Maybe change your hours if your going to do that.
Yum bubble tea
My go-to for Taiwanese food!
Cheap & Good on the Go The city has been getting more and more expensive but Bubble World has remained reasonable and delicious. If you re looking for some Chinese take out try this spot. Food : 4/5
Great
Friendly staff and usually yummy food but this is the second time that my order had no beef in my beef noodle soup :( since its delivery I cant do anything about it, Im paying 16$ for just broth and noodles... because this keeps happening I think they need to triple check before packing it up
I went to pick up food and it wasnt even busy. I was waiting for the server, but they kept ignoring me as if I were invisible, just walking past. I tried to make eye contact, but they look at the ground and walk, not acknowledging someone come to their restaurant. at least, please greet customers and ask why theyre here. In the end, I had to initiate the conversation, pay for the food, and pick up the prepared order. The food was always tasty, but I dont think Ill be coming back again.
Its rare to find a restaurant that has been open for so many years and still has such good service. It welcomes guests with the same enthusiasm every time. I like the plum chicken steak very much. The big bowl of plum sauce with crispy chicken steak goes very well with rice. There are many kinds of food here. I like to come here when gathering with friends. It is also suitable for children. The price and quality are very satisfactory. Parking: Metered street parking. Kid-friendliness: There are many types to choose from, there are also many drinks and ices, and the space inside is spacious, which is very suitable for dining with children.
Food
come here at least twice a week, and would definitely recommend their bubble tea 5/5. Their food however is not magnificent. Edit: Wanted to say a special thanks and appreciation to the older lady who serves, sweetest women ever. ALSO, grateful for the business for not drastically changing the prices of their bubble tea over the past two years like other shops!! Large reason why I have stayed loyal!!
We regularly frequent this location for the bubble tea as the service and price is great, but in the past month or so, our orders have been messed up quite a few times. Weve decided to no longer come here to avoid the disappointment. We usually order the taro oreo slush with the oreo bits mixed in, but often arrive to find the oreo bits on top of the slush. This is fairly annoying as it is impossible to mix them in to the slush when they are placed on top, without having to take off the entire plastic cover; and many oreo bits get stuck to the lid and top sides of the bubble tea container, therefore it feels like a waste of money. Last time, we even got charged for extra oreo bits when we never ordered them.
Bubble World definitely serves up the best Taiwanese food in the lower mainland and still has very low prices that haven t changed in some years. The food is always delicious and comes to your table so fast. I always get a strawberry ice cream slush
Consistent flavour with every visit. Big space with plenty of seating. Service is a bit hit or miss with many new wait staff, but regular server is very pleasant and service is quick.
Been to this location twice and its been lovely both times. The lady who works here is very friendly and welcoming. The food is good, the bubble teas are tasty.
I ordered take out.easy to order and efficient. They dont charge extra if ordering on line. Price is reasonable. Food is only good for hot pot. Unfortunately, my recent took out is disappointed. Curry chicken is unacceptable, fried rice noodle is too soaky. Probably I wont order again !!
Love their drinks, but I have to knock them down a star because their paper straws are garbage! I am all for saving the environment, but my paper straw broke down before I could finish my drink. I had to ask another bubble tea place for a straw. Definitely need to upgrade these!
My wife and I make this our date night spot. We absolutely love the food, and love the service. The manager is so kind, we absolutely love her.
Tried Bubble World last weekend. Overall I felt it is good. Food is quite Taiwanese style & taste. Service is great. Decoration is clean. I would say it s a bit overpriced for the dishes as lunch. The drink is great. Like it. It is Brown Sugar Pearl Milk.
Needs frequent hand washing. My husband and I really love the food at Bubble World and never get disappointment. However, we noticed hand washing may be an issue. One day while we were eating, a server cleaned tables with a spray bottle and cleaning cloth (which had obviously been used) and immediately went on and grabbed cutlery and food to serve to another table without washing their hands. If they had gloves on while cleaning it would have been easier to dispose of the gloves, sanitize hands, then serve other people. I called to let the manager know and she said they would work on it. We visited the restaurant weeks after and same thing happened with other servers, and the same cleaning cloth was being used and kept in a visible location.
good quick service, I ve only had the bubble tea, but it s always been spot on
Friendly and fast service alongside some delicious and well priced food.
It was Saturday evening when I was there having dinner with my family. The food was delicious, service was great and we had a good time there. However, it pays for parking at the roadside closest to the restaurant.
Bubble tea was really good for the two of us. The pricing was normal. And there was street parking in front of store.
I think this place has gotten better over the years. Prices aren t TOO bad, and the service and food are both really good. Our food came shockingly fast and tasted great!
The staff was very accommodating and friendly!
The best and cheapest BBT around!
One of the best foods that I ate, I recomend the chicken teriyaki with fried rice and de black sugar pearl latte :)
So far has been consistent every time I order. Love this BBT place!
My partner and I love this location, the food is always great as well as the drinks. When we dine in they are always fast and very friendly, the manager always asks us about our day and says theyre happy to see us. We are always happy to see the staff and spend time eating here.
Excellent food and service!
My go to bubble tea in New West. Consistently good!
I ordered here today and the food came out so quick! I was amazed at how fast the service was and the food tasted AMAZING!! Alin was the best server, I will definitely come back because of her!
My wife tries to make this at home hers is great but the real deal still is the best
The best crushes with bubbles I had in Canada.
I used to order a lot from this Bubble World, so I know that there are often bugs in the soup, I even tell them to make sure to wash their food thoroughly this time but it seems they just don t care at all. Well, I won t order from them anymore, Ignorant.
Absolutely love this place compare to all other location. The head server always so welcoming. Out of all places to dine in, this must be one of our favorite. Food relatively priced but its the servers attitudes that kept us coming back. Thanks Allin.
A huge menu but quality is not great for the cost.
I love this place. The food is great! The service here is great!! Its just that hard to find parking... but i still go there cuz the service is great!
Very friendly staff especially to the kids. Clean an thorough. One of my favorite spots now
Really good food plus really great service! I would give it a rating of 5 stars but parking is kinda tough to find during certain times of the day. But really it is only minor irritation Would definitely recommend!
Great customer service and consistently good food Environmentally conscious take out containers but we still prefer to dine in. I wish the bubble tea cups/straws in bubble tea industry were not plastic or biodegradable substitues. Hot pan chicken/kimchi hot pot/spicy beef noodle soup/ beef wrap are our usualy go to. One half of the restuarant tends to be quite loud due to the bubble tea making.
Great options for Bubble tea, but also for dining in. Winter pro-tip: the bubble teas with a red dot can also be done hot
Money grab. Paid 15 for a little bit of food. Never again
Good tea but takes 20 mins to make 1 tea
Five spice beef in Chinese pancake
I just had a bubble tea from this place and it was really good. They don t take credit card so that s a little inconvenient. Also, they charge extra if you want brown sugar pearls instead of normal ones which I haven t seen elsewhere.
My wife and I frequently visit Bubble world and enjoy lots they have to offer. Specifically today I dropped in as my wife had our newest child last night and was CRAVING their Hot Tofu Dessert Bubble tea. I mentioned it to the friendly staff and they only charged me for my order and comped my wifes for her in the hospital. Great food, great people and that was something special and extra! Big thank you, we will always continue to return and refer others!
I eat here often, no photos, but the food is almost nothing to be picky about, the price is affordable, the meal delivery is fast and the service is good~
Good portion noodles. Decent price. Typical Taiwanese restaurant taste
Didnt expect from side look. Classic inside. Amazing taste for Asian. Staffs are friendly and warmly. Price is also fair. Will come again definitely.
Waitress was amazing. Best bubble tea. Food was quick and delicious
Great bubble tea
Worst customer service! And the bubble tea tasted sour with barely any pearls in it !! Expensive! And wouldn t except credit card? also I asked for plastic utensils and she said you have to place an order first or you have to pay for it. I mean this is ridiculous. Do yourself a favour find some other place as there are soo many better options around!
Spacious and clean, family friendly, good costumer service, tasty food and decent prices. Will be coming back. Thank you for the service!
Good portion, great food, friendly staffs, definitely go back again
Went there nearly every week in the last 4 years. Food is simply superb never had anything that is below excellent; ingredients are fresh; portions are generous; food is well presented, takes <10 mins prepare my orders.
They did not put salt in my deep fried salt and pepper chicken order.
Went here after having visited a number of the other Bubble World s. This location seemed quieter than the others but had better quality food. Would recommend even to stop in for a Bubble Tea.
Not really big on bubble tea, but staff was friendly and prompt.
Food is good. Kitchen was very slow with making vermicelli. No idea why. The staff offered a good discount so cant really complain The cutlet was good. The interior is great for big groups. Overall positive experience
Terrible service and unprofessional stuff. Be aware!
Out of all the bubble world locations that me and my wife has been to, we would have to say this is the best location in terms of food, location and most of all the hospitality and accommodation from the staff here, good food, good experiences
Good price with good foods
They have such amazing food, the pineapple shrimp balls and beef stir fry are outstanding
Had the chicken nuggets and noddles. Great price for the amount of food.
Great service. Food was good too.
Red tea cream float with pearls and no ice !! Delish!! Very friendly and on point staff. Always great service for take out and dine in. Beef stir fry, squid tentacles, and popcorn chicken is our fave. Once in a while we ll enjoy the condensed milk toast. Heavenly !
Worst avocado slush ever. I think it was just half an avocado mixed with ice. Couldn t taste any sugar or milk, yuck
Very good service!! very thoughtful!! The meal was delicious!! I highly recommend it!!
Good food, friendly staff and affordable prices! This place is a great gem in New Westminster for Asian food, it has become my favourite for lunch time with coworkers due to its near location to YU university. All food that I have tried here is tasty, dumplings, beef bowl with rice, chicken with tree sauces and rice, personal fish spicy hot pot. The portion of the hot pot is specially worth it and prices are not expensive. I need to try its famous bubble teas which I heard are great.
Great food (although depending on the order, can be a bit greasy), super friendly staff and quick service! The food is priced very well and the bubble tea is surprisingly cheap for its quality!
We have been coming here for years. If live in New West or are in the area and you want to go somewhere for hot food or a cold bubble tea this is the place to go. Staff have been working there for years and its a happy atmosphere with excellent customer service and delicious food. Great for dine in or take out. Would recommend.
Absolutely amazing service provided. Ive visited this place twice for bubble tea and with be returning multiple times. Staff are exceptional and bubble tea is excellent.
Good food and customer service.
Ordered Skip and this is what I got. Paid almost $6 for wayyy less than the portion I usually get. $6 for an almost empty box. This is beyond disappointing... I know cause I always ordered this dine in so I know FORSURE this portion isn t right....
My partner and I went here last night as we were unsure what to eat and too lazy to cook. To our surprise it was an amazing experience! The food proportions were huge and we had to take the remaining home for dinner today. GUESS WHAT? The food was just as good as it was last night. Also a huge plus for me, I usually dont like boba tea, but this bubble tea I got last night I swear was so heavenly. Proportions huge, extremely affordable, pleasant workers, good atmosphere, very clean, and the precautions for the pandemic is one of the best I have ever seen. They have hand sanitizer, you must wear mask, you get temped as soon as you come in, and there are limited seating for social distancing. 10/10 would come here again and plan to for my birthday!
I ordered from here around 50+ times now, honestly food wise Its ok and not that much to talk about as I came 80% time just for the drinks. My fav drink would be green matcha ice cream slush with pearls. The staff work very fast and are polite and welcoming. They are open pretty late compared to others in the new west area.
Got a bubble tea to go. The food prep staff were not wearing masks while yelling back and forth over the food, and I didnt get the pearls I paid for.
Always friendly and nice staffs. It s always a pleasure to see them and stop by for a small snack or a bubble tea. :)
If you decide to go there you are really wanna order Coffee Milk tea and beef with satay souse on rice.
The food is not bad, but it takes a little long to get out.
Addicted to a specific dish.
Love the chicken teriyaki fried rice! Would recommend
Good food and value. Only 4 stars because of the garbage website. My phone can barely function everytime I open up your website to look at the menu. Should be embarrassed to have a website like that in the 21st century.
Nice peppery chicken, very tasty. And braised tofu and fish
Just disgusting...never again.
The mountain yam hot pot is good. I always order it.
It has multiple food options as well as juices. You can order delivery or eat inside the restaurant. The service is good and the place is quiet and the food is delicious and the smile is always on their faces.
I love the dine in experience here, the bubble is amazing. I recommend the chocolate and taro flavours. The cuisine is delicious. See you soon.
dont say 5 minutes waiting then after that you still need another 5 to something minutes....
Fantastic menu
Best food
Our go-to slush shop! Okinawa and taro oreo are our faves. Friendly and fast service
The staff is so friendly, efficient and pleasant. The bubble teas are always perfect and so good. All of the food I have eaten there was delicious, and when Ive ordered the same thing it was exactly the same as the last time I ordered it consistency, efficiency, friendliness and great atmosphere make this place awesome.
Bubble World is the one of the few bbt places where I can trust that the pearls will be perfect every time. The New West location has very friendly staff. Allen is by far my favourite server. She is incredibly sweet, speedy and hard working.
Alin and her team is so incredibly polite, friendly and efficient. The food is pretty good, great value for what you get, and the restaurant is spacious so easy to get seats even when it s busy. There is limited options for Taiwanese bubble tea food in New West so this is our go to place every week!
This Bubble World in New Westminster has amazing service; always quick, courteous and friendly - Alin and her team go out of their way to serve their customers with a smile. Im happy that I can always count on their BBT and food to be consistently good, even when its busy. Its my go to place for Taiwanese Food in New West.
Food is good. Friendly staff. Space is cozy. Price is not bad at all. Awesome place to meet with friends.
Im so glad its open for dine in again. This place has good food and drinks!
This is my favourite go-to bubble tea place! Love their variety of slushes and their pearls are super consistent. I would highly recommend the fried squid!
Bumping up pandemic menu
This brings back home. So, regularly go to this place. Salty chicken nuggets is must have. And great varieties of slush and bubbles teas. Great service too! Kudos to the staff
The one and only area the area A nice bubble tea place in the New West Neighbourhood with friendly staff. efficient take out order preparations and comfortable dine in restaurant. great for a snack and drink with friends as well as full dinner date depending on your needs. large variety of food and drink that may change from time to time.
Good
Cant go wrong with the rice bowl. I look forward to stopping here once in a while.
The worst meal Ive ever had. I ordered the beef brisket and eggplant dish. The sauce was extremely salty, there were barely any eggplant, barely any beef. The meal itself was horribly made. This dish plus a bowl of rice ($1.50) cost me $12.25!!!! Not worth it!
As someone who ordered here for the first time, it was not a good experience. . When I called them to order food for pick-up, they told me that it would only take fifteen minutes to be ready. Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at their store to pick-up and pay for my orders, only to find out that (1) they do not accept credit card payments (at this day and age, really), and (2) that it would take a few more minutes (fifteen more, to be precise) before my orders were prepared for me. . Disappointing, honestly.
Black pepper beef noodle excellent 9 times out of 10.Sometimes theres not much beef. The 5 spice Chinese pancakes are amazing.
Definitely a niche place, but lots of good food options other than just the bubble tea drinks. Didnt get a chance to try any food, but based on the menu it looked like something I would try next time.
I ordered food delivery through doordash.. their service are worst, they dropped my food right outside my garage door, instead of front door. I like their braised meat platter, They are tasty and not salty. I ordered brown sugar bubble milk tea, But they gave me regular bubble milk tea instead, but they gave me a lot of big pearls inside. I also ordered beef wrapped.. not much ingredients inside but its tasty. All the food items are good.. Worth to try with cheap price..
Very small portion if you are big eater I went today. Very disappointed The rice is cold and solid Chicken is too dry. Almost like dry chicken pieces For elderly, it is unacceptable For me, it is just very unsatisfying at all.
Recently reopened to eat-in, many precautions taken and distancing. Take out containers are used for everything.
Not a good experience at all. The girl at the front is quite rude. Doesn t know how to treat the customer.
Good food. Love their fresh taro bbt :)
Quick and easy comfort food. Eat here often as good value, good service and good food
Amazing service
I love their pearls...Always consistent when it comes to texture and flavour.
Great service! Follow covid safety protocol. Food never disappoints! We always come here because its the biggest one and the only ones that can accommodate our group of friends
My daughter and I love this place. Small portions so great for share foods or snack foods. We go here regularly for mother daughter nights. A variety of foods and bubble tea. It s our favorite place. Just wish there was parking that wasn t pay parking :(
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I brought my sister to the new Westminster location and as we entered the store my sister was feeling dizzy and passed out. I set my sister on the chair trying to help her and see what s wrong. As I m trying to help my UNCONSCIOUS sister the hostess only cared weather we were gonna dine in or take out. This was absolutely disgusting. My sister is not responsive passed out on the chair and this disgusting excuse for a human being asked if we wanted to order take out. I could not believe what I just heard in that moment. I honestly cannot believe the audacity she had to say that to me. My sisters life was at risk and all this middle aged Asian women had to say was you can order take out instead. Absolutely offended and disgusted from that experience. Will never go to bubble world again!
They have the worst bubble tea in town. Ordered a milky green tea with pearls, if you like chewy pearls, dont go there. Their drinks dont have any tea taste, just a combination of sugar and water.
Awesome bubble tea but kind of frustrating their website is now not offered in English so I have to get the person to read off their flavours over the phone.
Quick, fast service and everyone is so polite! A must-go in the area.
Good
Great spot to hang out. Great fried chicken and generous bubble tea servings.
Lychee slushie with coconut jelly!
This place is great, with reasonable prices. Normally of youre going to bubble world, youre getting the bubble tea, would highly recommend you try their food here as well. They are currently doing dine in, and doing a good job with implementing social distancing.
Enjoyed a simple getaway from home dinner. They practice social distancing so i felt comfortable to dine in with my family. Really missed their salty peppery chicken and kung pao chicken!
I really enjoyed bubble tea especially one that tastes like birthday cake but my favourite is the mango smoothie, pick your favourite I know youll really enjoy it
Love their BBQ pork on rice, and their bubble tea is great!
This bubble world has one of our favorite servers anywhere. Shes super friendly and accommodating, also very efficient! Good and reliable quality food and bubble tea, too!
Food is mediocre. Their English needs improvement and they dont know how to resolve issues when their staff makes mistakes with your order
Foods very nice n bubble tea is good . I like it
The best in the west I meant New West
I just order to pick up to go. The menu in the restaurant states that it is Okinawa Milky Tea. The staff said that it is Okinawa Milky Tea However, when I got my drink, it is Okinawa Pudding Milky Tea. I paid my drink without taking it because I feel this is completely the restaurant fault. Please update your menu and stop wasting your customer money. Really disappointed service since the staff do not even try to help. Instead , he just keeps saying that we do not have Okinawa Milky Tea ( then why dont the restaurant the menu)
Great food and bubble tea.
Ordered two dishes, got extremely small portions. The soup on the right had very little food in it, its a total ripoff. The restaurant should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of take out orders.
