It is hard to go wrong with Taiwanese food (so many tasty possibilities) and Bubble 88 is a good choice, hidden in the Royal Bank strip mall adjacent to Surrey Central Mall. Unfortunately, I have a terrible time making up my mind at this kind of place, especially if there is a decision to be made within the choice (do it yourself combos). I briefly considered just asking for one of each! We arrived seriously starving on Sunday afternoon (someone should have eaten breakfast!).We ordered Popcorn Chicken almost before sitting down to keep from falling completely into a low blood sugar fog. It arrived quickly and was hot, salty and tasty and moist inside. We happily munched it down in no time and were soon able to see straight and make up our minds as to the rest of our meal! I have a weakness for Curry Brisket with Rice and order it often. The "banchan' that arrived with it was somewhat impressive. The cauliflower was quite plain but very refreshing and a good foil for the rich curry. I did love the curry but I spooned a lot, I mean a lot of grease off the top. I guess that is the consequence of nice fatty brisket but I feel like the kitchen could have handled some of it!
My partner ordered the Seafood Noodle in Soup.and it came as a generous serving with plenty of seafood. The broth was chicken stock and the noodles were just cooked enough to maintain a bit of chewiness. To be honest, the squid seemed a bit too fishy for my tastes but I liked the white fish pieces. Finally for my partner's 6 year old granddaughter, whose company we were enjoying that day, we ordered Deep Fried Boneless Chicken Leg with Rice. I am not sure what the process would be for deboning the chicken leg for this. The legs tend to be full of tendons that would make the process a little tedious. But deboned and pounded thin and deep fried, this was a tasty dish and Juelle, who eats like a bird, enjoyed the bird, and had some to take home. I have to say that I heartily recommend this combination. The rice was topped with some bits of stewed pork belly. Very Nice! And does anyone go for Taiwanese without Bubble Tea? Service is efficient as is the kitchen. Everything arrived in fairly short order. There is a station with containers so that you can pack up your inevitable left overs for later! Bright and comfortable inside, come try something tasty from their extensive menu!
Bubble 88 is located by Surrey Central Skytrain Station. It's a medium size Taiwanese Restaurant. The food here is in small portion with the Cheap price. The taste is decent. Large environment. Servers are nice and friendly. There are many selections for Bubble tea. The price of the bubble tea is a little bit over priced. The last thing is this place cash only. :(
Went to try Bubble 88 with a friend since I had an entertainment book coupon. Unfortunately they didn't want to accept it. Oh well. The food was good value for money. The space is very trendy looking and clean. Service was okay, the servers were pleasant but stayed by the counter and chatted a lot with each other.
The popcorn chicken was so tasty, so for about $10 a meal you can't really go wrong! There was a lot of food and the side dishes were yummy. Being so close to SFU this place is my idea of budget friendly. Bubble 88 is cash only.
I am so happy that there is a bubble tea place in Surrey with Taiwanese food!Service is average, sometimes they can get busy and not come back until your food is up. I do like their fruit slushes but their pearls are not the greatest. I find them a bit too mushy.The popcorn chicken is really good-their curry popcorn chicken has a great spicy kick to it, I love it!I've had their clay pot eggplant (without the pork) and seafood hot pot and enjoyed those as well. The beef noodle soup broth is okay.I return again and again for the popcorn chicken and curry popcorn chicken!
Stopped here after shopping in Central City, since there wasn't anything in the food court that looked appealing.
Had an excellent hot & sour soup, curry fried rice with prawns & broccoli, wontons in chili sauce and a mango bubble slushie. We also ordered veggie steamed dumplings from the dim sum menu, but they weren't as good as the rest of our dishes.
i'm a regular and I think they have really really good food and good service but the only thing that sucks is that i wish they took debit instead of just cash/credit
I was incredibly, pleasantly, surprised by this restaurant. The reviews were what persuaded me to try it and I'm very glad I did! From the outside it doesn't look like much but the interior is fantastic and the food was even better! My friend and I ordered the sweet & sour chicken, wonton soup, and the popcorn chicken curry along with the green apple & blueberry bubble teas with pearls. I have to say that personally the sweet and sour chicken was my favourite! It was really nicely breaded - not too thick and very crispy, and the sauce was perfect!!! It wasn't too greasy or too sugary-tasting. I will definitely go back, 100%. I was also very happy with the portions and prices. Very glad I tried it!!!
Bubble 88 has become my favorite bubble tea/food, because it is exactly Taiwanese style. I had a bad experience at other Chinese style bubble tea places, they add something in the food that makes my tonge numb and could not taste the food for a few hours after that. But now I've found this place, will always go here from now on. I always get bubble tea here once every week.
Guess what? I won $109.10 in last week's lotto max!! At first I thought I won 50 million because the first 3 numbers matched...but alas, I did not. *Keep dreaming Selina*. Anyways, my last final is on Thursday, and after that, I'm FREE!!! I was planning on taking summer courses, but decided against it because I have to spend the entire summer going to allergy treatment sessions. Hey, treating allergies sure beats doing homework!! I might go on vacation though...I'm thinking about booking a trip to Hawaii hehe...we'll see!
My dad and I go to Bubble 88 a lot. He has Bubble 88, Pearl Castle, South Ocean, Hon's, Kent's Kitchen and Tengoku Sushi on rotation. When he's in the mood for Taiwanese food, he'll go to PC or Bubble 88. When he wants Cantonese food, it's either Kent's Kitchen or Hon's. Sushi? Tengoku. And he orders the same thing every.single.time. (Old habits die hard.)
Was craving the spicy beef and tendon taiwanese noodle. The portions were good. I found the broth a bit on the watery side (lacking a little on the flavor side) but the beef and tendon were cooked and marinated well and made up for it. Overall enjoyed the dish.
The deep fried tofu was also yum, a bit much on the sauce which softens it a bit. The black pepper beef and onion (with rice) combo was pretty tasty too.
Their beef noodle soup is very tasty. Deep fried squid is very good too. Wish they had some sort of dipping sauce for that. Got takeout order few times from here. Their spicy pork cabbage portion is very small for the price. I don’t know if this was a mistake but won’t be ordering that.
One of the few places that stays open late in the heart of Whalley downtown if you crave for some Chinese food. The menu is quite complicated,
I do wish that they have more pictures to help out people who don’t speak the language because some of the dishes are hard to interpret. I was a bit tick off as they serve warm tea instead of hot tea. I did ask for a change which they change promptly afterward. The deep fried tentacles was tasty but a bit overcooked. The 3 Cup braised chicken has a nice wine, ginger flavour which goes well with rice. The spicy fried fish in garlic sauce was not bad too. Each dish do come with sides of rice, pickles and vermicelli noodle. Portion is good and the price is not bad. Give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 If you like my review.

Got the Sea Food Hotpot Combo and Popcorn Chicken.
Sea Food Combo was 17 bucks.
Popcorn Chicken was 10 bucks.
Total was around 30 bucks.
It was a 2 person meal.
Popcorn Chicken was way too expensive. Not worth it. The portion was small too. I'd say it was worth 7 or 8 bucks. In picture u can see it looks like a lot but that's because the plate has a bigger surface area. Not a whole lot of height or weight in that bowl.
Sea Food Hotpot without the combo was $13 bucks. I got the combo. With or without the combo, worth it in my opinion. This pot had height. Worth the buy.
Overall quality of food was good! Service was good. 4.5/5! Lost 0.5 because of the Popcorn Chicken price.
I have eaten with this restaurant before. That was 2 years or 3 ago. I dont know if it was the waiters or the chef that was making things difficult but everyone got their foods before my table. We waited almost 1h for our food. The restaurant is better now but because of that experience, I'm rounding my score down instead of up. Overall experience, 4/5. Let's see if they keep up the good work next time!
My favourite place for stewed tofu and fried squid. I noticed food quantity has changed since pre-covid and the tofu is much smaller/thin, but still delicious. (Especially the fried squid!)
You may notice residue or stains on all the cups, but the server reassured that its from the hot water they use to wash them.
Really good Taiwanese and Chinese style food. The portion is a good size and there is definitely enough to take home. The fried chicken and fried squid were has good flavor. The beef curry brisket also tasted vet good. The dishes I order came with side dishes too, which was nice to have. For the price, it is not bad consider they open late and is the only Taiwanese restuarant in the area. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
A nice place to have some Delicious Korean BBQ! Just a few meters away from Surrey Central Station.
