I ordered Mongolian lamb dry noodles from this location yesterday and I was disappointed by how little meat ( three thin pieces) and veggies (2 tiny pieces of Bol Choi) and all noodles in my take out order. Hopefully they can be a bit more generous to customers.
Good service, friendly staff, tasty food at reasonably price! What's more?
Was at Ironwood branch today with my wife. My food came and they totally forgotten to put in my wife’s order. So we cancelled the order after I finished my lunch . It was not busy at that time. Told them off , it was because they have totally forgotten about our order. No apologies at all. Very poor service . Not going back there again !
Had Boneless hainanese chicken laksa.Not bad
Is second time that I see hair in my noodles
The good thing about this Bubble Waffle Cafe is location. Ironwood has limited choices for Chinese food in the evening as Danny’s kitchen within the same mall is closed at 6. Bubble Waffle Cafe has taken off from being a food court spot to a franchise in Greater Vancouver it is now. However the food remains food court quality. I am convinced now that I have visited their Richmond Centre and Ironwood locations, I shouldn’t have expected more than that. I ordered Boneless Hainanese Chicken with yellow oil rice. There was two pieces of broccoli, a teaspoon-ful worth of grinder ginger sauce and a sweet-sour chilly sauce on a small saucer with it. The soy sauce had already been drizzled onto the chicken so there was not a third sauce presented. So, the whole plate looked complete. The taste was disappointing, though. The chicken was obviously a drumstick de-boned, skin on. When I sank my teeth in the meat, I felt a little tough, tougher than what I would normally expected for Hainanese Chicken. Oh well, I didn’t mind too much as I like chicken. The chicken did taste a little bland. I had to add lots of ginger to step up the taste. Anyhow let’s move on to the rice. It was the most disappointing part I would say . The rice was dry even though there was a generous amount of oil on it as it looked shiny and yellow enough. Could the rice be days old? Or was the rice old when it was bought from the supplier ? The rice grain broke down into small pieces in my mouth. Normally rice is softer , moist, & chewy . This rice was nothing like what I know about rice. My friend said if the rice was exposed in air for too long it can be dried up and maybe that was what happened. Couldn’t eat more than a few spoonful of rice (sorry I was a good waster for this meal) . Luckily I still have the broccoli. Last time when I had Hainanese Chicken rice at their Richmond centre location, the chicken was just as bland, & the rice tasted the same but not this dry. In short , the taste was consistent throughout these 2 locations. Conclusion after having Hainanese Chicken Rice at Bubble Waffle Cafe twice : don’t expect too much. Although their price was great, just go somewhere else for authentic Hainanese Chicken. There are plenty of places in Vancouver with better recipes, but be prepared to pay a bit more. I’d go for their fish broth noodle next time. P.S. the wait time for Hainanese Chicken rice was generally about 10 minutes longer than any other dishes @ Ironwood.
I think this location is one of the better Bubble Waffle Cafe in Richmond, I've tried a few around Richmond only, never tried any outside of Richmond.They seem to have tastier soups and give the right amount of meat/veg in the mix&match noodle. I really like their ice lemon tea, doesn't taste watered down like I have experienced in a different location.Good value for food, good portions, tasty, and quick service.Would recommend this Bubble Waffle location in Richmond!Also, ff I remember correctly, they don't accept credit card, only cash or debit.
Best Bubble waffle cafe among all!!
Been a fan of Bubble Waffle for many years, the problem with these franchises is that it really depends on the owner / staff and how passionate they are with the restaurant. I found a few locations that had the worse food or the worse service one of them is the one in aberdeen centre(Just a complete downhill experience). Meanwhile this location is on a whole another level. Amazing food, fresh delicious quite possibly one of the best bubble waffles in town. EVEN their COFFEE was freaking amazing. Thank you to girl that served it. I'll be back :)
