An unassuming place in a plaza with not many other shops but we have been back at least 3x the past month because their boba tea is SO GOOD and SO affordable! Definitely give this place a chance. We LOVE the taro milk tea boba and also love that you can adjust the sweetness. The staff here are also very kind and willing to help.

I love the spot, ordered plenty of times from them as they open till a reasonable hour. They have bunch of boba tea options, and their food options are decent amount. Although the overall food quality is still quite mediocre, the meat or rice can be dry, the boba balls can be firm as goat shit, and the prices are much higher if you choose to go with delivery, and they sometimes mess up my orders too. If you are in the area and have nothing to eat, go with this spot, it's still better than 80% of the generally food spots in this country, even though it's just average.

The food is delicious from simple breakfast to the specialty to your Hearts content. The service is excellent and very efficient. The ambiance is pleasant and positive either by yourself or with your family. I highly recommend this place.

We've only ordered delivery, but everything always arrives well packed and hot. Our fave foods are their dim sum: sesame balls, sui mai, and bbq pork buns. Also good is the walnut shrimp is good and the mapu tofu. Not great: The chow fun was overcooked (noodles too mushy), but tasty. The orange chicken is just ok (no spice, a little over sweet, sauce is very thick). Mixed bag on their drinks, thai tea is really good, but i wasn't a fan of the coconut slush (too much coconut flavoring, almost perfumey taste).

Don't be fooled by the dying strip mall it's housed in, this hidden gem is worth a visit. It gives divey vibes with dirty floors and clutter all around, but the boba is better than any I've had in Burbank so far and the food was fresh, well prepared, and the staff nice enough. It's totally a mom and pop joint. The staff is eating their dinners at the tables during downtime, but the chef came out to verify my allergies to make sure I could eat everything he was making. Be sure to check the half meal special that you can add a milk, black, or Thai tea and add boba. And speaking of boba. The regular sweet level is a little too much for me, but the taste of the r milk tea was deep and rich. The boba balls were perfect texture and flavor. I wish they had a fresh milk option but was happy to see an oat milk for peeps who want that!

This is a small cafe in a strip mall next to Wingstop. It can be a little difficult to find, because the front says "Bobawok" but there's a sign on the door saying Favoritea. Ive been a couple times. The popcorn chicken is really good, and so are the drinks. The mocha coffee I got was great. The spicy cumin beef I tried was just ok, nothing amazing. They messed up my order the first time I came and didn't seem to care too much, I asked for the popcorn chicken meal and they gave me the appetizer. This is a solid choice in the area but wouldn't go too far to try it.

This place used to be a Chinese food to go. It looks like the new owners kept the old set up and just added their own menu technology. The ambience is very out dated and there are boxes under the tables at the front counter. The service is quick and friendly. This is my second time here because I fell in love with the lychee slush with lychee jelly. My daughter got the same but with boba. The drink is pretty large and lasted a long time. There's not a lot of customers but the food looks good.

I stumbled upon this cafe in Burbank, CA was because I was starting to support local biz in Upscale LA cities such as this. When I arrived at this Cafe, the front sign posted, 'Soft Opening,' so I suppose they just recently opened for their biz. That and I went with what fellow Yelpers raved about their popular dish, 'Popcorn Chicken,' so I decided to try that dish instead of a drink. Boy, that dish was extremely fulfilling!!!! 'Favoritea,' served a huge portion of their 'Popcorn Chicken,' which were all properly cooked piece by piece. I had already chowed half down by the time I got home. Service was fast and efficient, I received my order within less than 20min of a wait time after placing order. This Cafe was located in a huge plaza, so parking was free and easy. I'll be back again soon next time I'll be in Burbank, CA.

Nice pitstop after a Costco trip. Been here quite a few times over the past few months and really enjoy the blended milk teas/blended Thai teas. Very pleasant tea taste throughout the drink and it's consistently great quality. The popcorn chicken here is amazing, great portions and just the right amount of crunch. Seriously their portions are doubled what you get at most other places for the same price without sacrificing quality.

I really love this place. It's unfortunate it's in such a dead shopping center, but please don't let that deter you from trying this hole in the wall....the place isn't fancy but service is friendly, food delicious with generous portions (my fave hot n' sour soup ever), and great drinks. My favorite has to be the watermelon tea! Incredibly refreshing with real crushed watermelon. I also admire hardworking immigrants pursuing their American dream. It's definitely a family doing everything they can to make it work so when you buy a drink or meal, you know it's going to their children's school, rent...the basics....despite the challenges of language, location, etc, they work together to make the customer's experience a happy one.
