Bopomofo Cafe - San Gabriel

Having visited numerous Bubble tea shops across Canada and the USA, I can confidently say that this one stands out as one of the best. The menu is curated to perfection, featuring a variety of drinks and snacks. We particularly enjoyed the mapo Tofu darts and the fried chicken sandwich. The staff was also incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything to us and provide recommendations. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this establishment in the LA area.

I loved the seasonal drinks at this restaurant, especially the blueberry cooler. Everything was very fresh! As for the food, the popcorn chicken was a standout with its crispy exterior and moist interior. The drinks were a hit with everyone, so you can't go wrong there!

First, the staff was amazing. They were very pleasant, friendly, and helpful, and the setting was great all around! Second, the food and drinks were incredible. The combination of corn and earthy flavors in the corn and earthy milk drink was unexpected but became my favorite. We also tried the summer blossom and watermelon oat potion, both of which were fantastic. For food, we had mapo bags, chicken nuggets, and the blacksmith, all of which were fresh and delicious. I'm thrilled that I tried ATL!

I live in the east coast so I don’t get to come here often, but I make sure to visit Bopomofo multiple times wherever I’m in town. You really can’t go wrong with any of their drinks, but the taro sweet milk is my personal fav. All of their food is well-made and delicious too! The wait can get a bit long, but their online ordering system makes things easy. Counting down the days until my next visit!

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 got there, the first person we saw was Phil, tending and being extremely attentive to all the customers. You can just see the heart that he puts into the place, making sure everyone is enjoying their time, and even pausing to take selfies with people if they asked. This place is very interesting. It is like they chose to have certain food Chinese food that people like (like popcorn chicken, mapo tofu) and fused it together with awesome drinks. First off to note is that it is probably easier to order ahead of time. There is outside seating but it is all first come first serve. If you happen to be vegetarian there are other options as well.FoodSince it was our first time here we wanted to try many of their items. We ordered:Honey Walnut Shrimp Burger This was quite good, pretty much if you ever had walnut shrimp as a dish, picture that in a burger.Spicy Popcorn Chicken This is a classic Taiwanese snack, and they do it quite well!Mapo Tots- Added the fried egg for $1.50 This was so interesting. Being a fan of Mapo Tofu, then adding it on top of tots was actually pretty good.HEY Sesame Milk- They mentioned that they made the sesame in house, although it was quite good, I would probably ask for less sweet next timeI believe they really researched and did a lot of planning before they opened this place (and their new location in Artesia) Fusing great food, thinking about the customer, their choices. I guess you can say the food is similar to their video production, where they have thought of reaching out to as many different emotions and familiar scenarios someone can go through, but this time they are now able to through it through food and taste. I think the most interesting thing about their drinks is that I would consider them quite premium. Working previously at a boba place, it is interesting that they use no powdered creamer, no artificial flavors or syrups. I have to come back and try some of the other drinks that they have and give their coffee a try while grabbing some more Mapo Tots. Look forward to drop by again or try their other location soon!
