Review from David W.

When my friend told me this cafe I thought just another HK style cafe in Richmond. But it turned out I was pretty impressed! The food here reminds me of eating by the street hawkers after school in HK... They have many old fashioned choices (not only on the manu, but also check out the one they post on the wall).
The place is very small but decent (they even have separate washroom for M and F, bright & clean), service is good. price is reasonable. I would have given a higher rating if they used a real glass for their red-bean ice drink (I just don't like the plastic!).
Same as the other HK style cafe, cash only. -

the noodle soup combo was really only so-so... my soup was very tasteless and the noodles were brittle? The texture was very soft and breaks apart as i used my chopsticks to get them.
However the snacks were excellent!
The curry fish ball, the texture and the spiciness were superb
and then there was the egg waffle, it was 11/10!! -

Bubble Waffle Cafe is the hybrid offspring of Deer Garden, Teppan Kitchen and Night Market. What you're thinking, exactly that!
The noodle soup menu ($7.50) looks devilishly similar to Deer Garden, with the choice of soup, noodles, ingredients and drink. I usually choose the Original Fish Soup (a little more watery than I'd like), rice noodles (more soggy than I'd like), beef brisket (soft and tender) and enoki mushrooms with a lemon tea (they put it in a take-away cup so you can leave with it if you don't finish).
My boyfriend had the beef teppanyaki rice dish (~$8), the rice was a little too soft and didn't have that caramelized burn I'm used to.
I have to say the Bubble Waffle (Free with a purchase over $15 during the Grand Opening) was really good. The batter was sweet and chewy, the waffle was crisp on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. YUM!
I wanted to try out the tornado potato (a potato sliced and curled around a stick, deep-fried then covered in your choice of powder/sauce), steamed rice rolls (covered in a sweet sauce, sesame and soy sauce), curry fish balls, takoyaki, fried squid, etc... Another time dear stomach.
Finally, this is a very small restaurant so be prepared to sit at less than an arms width away from some strangers, so don't go spilling that juicy gossip just yet.
Overall, friendly service and a good place if you're craving the parent foods named above but with a slight dash of imitation. I'll probably return to this place for the Bubble Waffle and some late night munchies. Closes at 11 pm though! -

Huge selection of random food items. From the recent trendy noodles with 2 toppings and soup to bbt to the large variety of night market style snacks (ex curry fishballs, hurricane potatoes).
Current promotion. Order $15 or more and get FREE bubble waffles!!!
Food was good. Service is like your typical Honger cafe grade.
Will definitely be back again. There's way too much stuff to try.
