| - I haven't been to Bomboba in a while, but I've been to Bomboba many many times since my first review and my first review didn't really review much so this time after having been to bomboba many times and trying many drinks since they first opened, I'd like to update my review~
Every time I stop by, I get my usual taro or honeydew boba w/ all my usual toppings and always keep an eye out to try something new that I haven't tried before from their version of Halo Halo to the Hello Mango.
Both Taro and Honeydew boba are highly recommended by me to taste/try out at any boba shop if not their milk tea to gauge where a boba shop's "level" is at in terms of flavor and uniqueness.
When I first tried Taro and Honeydew boba, It was immediately recognizable with others I've had before and it wasn't just a flavor that was mainly by scent; so this is good and about average if not a little above; so that's what I usually try to look for when trying Taro and Honeydew~
The Halo Halo, was pretty good I enjoyed the coconut milk style drink with all the fruits and jelly in it; it would be a lot better with blended or shaved ice mixed into it instead of ice cubes - so if you try it, definitely ask them to do that for you!
The Hello Mango is definitely my favorite special drink, freaking mango overload with fresh mango slices up in that lilmama and mango popping boba and mango jelly - that thing is GG, mango for days! If you like mango by any means - you need to try this out!
If there's no drinks that I'm really interested in then I start to try the new food they have to offer, ranging from Vietnamese sandwiches to their own version of Bo Luc Lac(shaking beef).
I really liked this boba spot once I spoke w/ one of the owners and brought the suggestion of offering Banh Mi or " Vietnamese sandwich" and he actually did it!
The first one I had was DELICIOUS - I praised it higher than Lee Sandwiches & I loved Lee sandwiches(I always get it when I'm in Vegas or on the eastside)!
The pate was delicious, the bread was crispy, the pork loaf was generous thick slices along with the other fillings inside the sandwich and it went perfect with my favorite honeydew boba; but a big disappointment for me was that after that first initial order; all the other orders weren't consistent with the original on other days that I've ordered and there is only one "vietnamese sandwich" style offered so I figured that couldn't be why it wasn't consistent as other times. It was weird as I'd have thin slices of pork loaf and other fillings would be plus or minus in comparison to the first one.
So I was really disappointed and shortly later I heard they stopped offering it, but I can understand if they didn't have enough demand for it and let it be.
One door closes and another opens, as shortly after that they started offering Pad Thai! I was very skeptical on how this would turn out but I'm glad I tried it! Their Pad Thai made by Devon(one of the owners) is freaking delicious! It's very high on my list of best tasting Pad Thai in AZ! Some days I'd be ordering 2 and bring it home! I highly recommend people to try it out if you're willing to try something new at Bomboba - I'd get it every week if the shop was closer to my house!
Ps. Don't be afraid to try out different boba toppings in your drinks to switch things up, assorted & flavored jelly to popping boba and pudding!
