    Small & clean cafe shop with efficient staff was amazing 💯. Those drinks here are super creative and yummy 🤤 worth the price. Also their popcorn chicken was on point, juicy and flavorful

    We ordered the two most popular food here: Popcorn chicken and Spicy Taiwanese chicken sandwich. Both of them were very good but I don't think the sandwich is worth the price. We spent $10.25 for a big potion of Popcorn chicken while the Spicy Taiwanese chicken sandwich costs us $13.25. The flavor of the fried chicken for both taste sort of the same but way more meat for Popcorn chicken. Staff was efficient even though the line was long. Our order was ready in about 5 or 10 minutes. The store was clean and very crowded inside. They also provide some tables and seats in front of the store. We were lucky to get one because it was so nice sitting out there while enjoying the food.

    Second time in LA and I had to stop by Bopomofo again! Staff were super nice and welcoming and also recommended a drink for my friend. Its a small cafe with just enough seatings. We came around 11am and there were plenty of seats. We ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp Burger, Taiwanese Fried Chicken Sandwich, mapo tots with runny egg, Strawberry corn milk and strawberry basil ginger lemonade. The shrimp burger was lightly battered and had a good amount of shrimp filling. The spicy taiwanese fried chicken sandwich was juicy and fried to perfection sandwiched with their famous pineapple bun. The runny egg with the mapo tots made the tots a bit creamy and flavorful. I was hesitant to try their strawberry corn milk, but surprisingly it was pretty good, not too sweet and you can actually taste the corn. Wish I was able to meet Phil that day, but maybe next time when I visit LA again.

    I ordered BOG beverage (blueberry green tea) with boba and Taiwanese chicken sandwich. Both very tasty. The chicken sandwich was sweet, which I love. The cashier helped me understand their menu as it was my first time. Glad to finally get to go after following Bopomofo's socials for so many years.

    Went here for take out and got the Taiwanese fried chicken sandwich, popcorn chicken, and the brown sugar pudding Milk Tea. The Taiwanese Fried Chicken Sandwich was really good, especially when it's spicy. The Popcorn Chicken and Milk Tea were okay. The food and drinks are over-priced compared to other establishments.

    Cute place, incredible 10/10 Boba (I judge a spot by a black milk tea with traditional tapioca pearls, this delivered), a decent fried chicken sandwich (7.5/10) and a cute space. Downside is it's incredibly slow - after waiting in like for 8 minutes to order it took 36 minutes for my single drink and sandwich to be ready. A lot of online/app orders and people coming into pick up at their prescribed time and being told it would be another 5 or 10 minutes from my observation. Outside seating is not shaded which hampers things when it's 95 outside. Would get Boba from again as long as I ordered ahead.

    Love this place! We ordered spicy popcorn chicken, shrimp burger, tater tots, brown sugar milk tea with house pudding. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and portion size was worth the money. The only thing is they gave a bit too much ice in the milk tea. All in all, a great place to have a quick lunch and do some work (weekday afternoons less busy). Highly recommend!

    Flavorful Taiwanese fried chicken sandwich from Bopomofo. These were crunchy chicken and coleslaw with dressing tasted like peanut sauce in it. #bopomofo
