Reviews for Bopomofo Cafe in San Gabriel, CA
Tasty tea drinks. Ordered to go. Small place. Not a lot of room for sitting, but they had lots of customers. They're a little... more on the pricey side compared to other Boba places in the area. But it's probably because they use more quality ingredients. Read more
Solid place in SGV for high quality drinks and Taiwanese fusion foods. I love their consistency in quality of food and... service. Always look out for seasonal drinks and foods because you can get special items throughout the year! Read more
First the staff were great. Very pleasant and kind and helpful and had a great attitude all around! Second, the food and... drinks..... oh man. So good. You wouldn't think corn and strawberry go together but the corn strawberry milk drink was myfavorite. We also got the summer blossom and watermelon oat drink. All phenomenal. Then we got mapo tots, chicken nuggets, andthe pork rice. It was all so so good and fresh and flavorful. I'm so happy I came to try from ATL!!!!! Read more
I really enjoyed their seasonal drinks such as the Blueberry Cooler. Everything was super fresh! Out of the food items, the... popcorn chicken was worth noting because they were crunchy on the outside and not dry on the inside. Everyone seemed to enjoythe drinks though so you can?t go wrong there! Read more
I have only been able to hear about this place but finally was able to try it myself. It is pretty cool to know that this place... is ran by WongFu, which me and my friends have watched since they first started making videos. When me and my family first gotthere, the first person we saw was Phil, tending and being extremely attentive to all the customers. You can just see the heartthat he puts into the place, making sure everyone is enjoying their time, and even pausing to take selfies with people if theyasked. This place is very interesting. It is like they chose to have certain food Chinese food that people like (like popcornchicken, mapo tofu) and fused it together with awesome drinks. First off to note is that it is probably easier to order ahead oftime. There is outside seating but it is all first come first serve. If you happen to be vegetarian there are other options aswell. Food Since it was our first time here we wanted to try many of their items. We ordered: Honey Walnut Shrimp Burger - Thiswas quite good, pretty much if you ever had walnut shrimp as a dish, picture that in a burger. Spicy Popcorn Chicken - This is aclassic Taiwanese snack, and they do it quite well! Mapo Tots- Added the fried egg for $1.50 - This was so interesting. Being afan of Mapo Tofu, then adding it on top of tots was actually pretty good. HEY Sesame Milk- They mentioned that they made thesesame in house, although it was quite good, I would probably ask for less sweet next time I believe they really researched anddid a lot of planning before they opened this place (and their new location in Artesia) Fusing great food, thinking about thecustomer, their choices. I guess you can say the food is similar to their video production, where they have thought of reachingout to as many different emotions and familiar scenarios someone can go through, but this time they are now able to through itthrough food and taste. I think the most interesting thing about their drinks is that I Read more
Peak Asian fusion, great tea and super creative food. I recommend the Mapo Tofu tater tots and the Walnut shrimp burger. These... are great ways to reimagine classic dishes into a new form. It gets busy here, so you should order ahead, and don?t be surprisedif it takes the better part of an hour for orders to be ready during peak hours. Read more
This place is so amazing that I wish I had discovered it sooner. The dishes are absolutely innovative and you really can?t find... mapo tofu tots anywhere else. And the walnut shrimp burger really teasted like walnut shrimp!! Everything tasted absolutelydelicious, which explains the long wait. Milk teas had a strong tea flavor, too. Overall, this is an amazing restaurant, justmake sure you order ahead of time. Read more
Passing through the SGV and did a quick search on boba places. This place did not disappoint with its small menu of both snacks... and drinks. I had naked tater tots which were crunchy and delicious. There?s an option to add additional toppings. Check themenu online. There egg pudding is house-made which really took my drink into the stratosphere. Quite similar to Mexican flan inconsistency and flavor but a pleasant and appetizing color that stands alone. Read more
