WOW Food Cafe

Finally great boba in the city! The ladies who work the counter are super nice and make the drinks super fast. It’s in a great little spot for a quick lunch stop! I am looking forward to going back when they have milk fluff! We will definitely be going back!!!

Finally got a chance to try their stewed chicken and minced pork entrée, which was decent. A bit on the saltier side, which overpowers any other flavor. Good meat to rice ratio. I would rate food ²⁄₅ stars.
Their bubble tea is the better of the two (⁴⁄₅ stars). They use real milk (options include whole, 2%, or soy!) and cook their boba in some type of sugar so that they have some flavor of their own. Also perfect chewy consistency.

I thought the food here was good, just a little greasy. But hey, that’s kinda what I was in the mood for. It took a while for it to come out, but we had a large order.
One of the best things I had were the fried chicken nuggets. Sooo good.

I really had high hopes for this place, but honestly I don’t see the hype at all. I’ve heard high praise expecting it to be like Jumbo Jumbo back in Rockville, but in my opinion, it’s way below that level.
First time bf and I went and tried the bbtea. We got a Jasmine green milk tea. It was insanely disappointing — incredibly watered down. You could barely get tea flavor. The bubbles were also bland and way overcooked. It had a bad squishy bite to it instead of a nice chew.
We went again today and tried their beef noodle soup (which I thought looked amazing when we first stopped by) and since they didn’t have any silk noodles today, bf got the orange chicken lunch special along with an oolong milk tea.
The beef noodle soup was very very disappointing at first. With the color of the soup, I was expecting something rich and flavorful. I tasted nothing but blandness and was extremely disappointed. My bf looked at me like I was crazy because he thought it tasted good. Turns out, the section of soup I was drinking from must be where they poured water into to dilute the broth because after mixing it, the broth tasted much more flavorful. The meat was good, they use a good cut, but they cut it too thinly for my taste. I enjoy slightly thicker chunks for this kind of cut of beef. The noodles were extremely disappointing. These were a different type of noodles (I think my parents would call it dao shiao? kind of like «knife shaped» if you translate it). The noodles were overcooked and didn’t have that «qiu» chew that chinese people like to call it.
The orange chicken was good and bad. The good was that they seemed to use the same fried chicken as the Taiwanese salt and pepper/​Taiwanese basil chicken and put orange sauce over it. Their fried chicken has a good fry — nice and crisp. That sauce though, sorry, but ick. It had some weird aftertaste. The sauce wasn’t good. On top of that, for $ 8.99 lunch special (comes with a coke), it was a tiny portion and not worth it. The beef noodle soup was the only thing that seemed like it was more worth the price because they give a large portion.
Today we tried the oolong milk tea, which was an improvement from the jasmine green milk tea. The tea was still watered down, but it had more tea flavor than last time. I liked they they didn’t sweeten the tea. The bubbles were more chewy this time (although still slightly overcooked), and they sweetened the bubbles this time.
Overall, I just don’t understand the hype. The food was okay at best, but disappointing to me. I compared everything to Jumbo Jumbo because this is a Baltimore version, and I had really high hopes of having decent food and bbtea in Baltimore when I start school in the fall. But sorry, it just pails in comparison. It is way overpriced compared to Jumbo and for worse food and bbtea. BF said they need more consistency, and I agree. Hopefully they’ll work out the kinks and improve their food and bbtea so that it matches the price they charge.

It’s a testament to the quality of this place that it’s almost always busy, no matter the time or day. Fortunately for me, this place is just downstairs and I often take advantage of the fact that it’s in the food court connected to my apartment.
When I want some awesome bubble tea (with soft, perfectly chewy, delightfully sweet boba pearls — cooked fresh daily, and you can tell!), then I pop on over to WOW. And word to the wise: make sure to get a customer loyalty card… and don’t judge when I say that I’ve filled several cards already. You just can’t beat the fact that they also customize your drink in terms of sweetness, ice level, and kind of milk… for me, 50% sweet and ice with skim milk is my Goldilocks-​type drink. (P.S. They don’t have funky flavors like taro or strawberry or whatnot, but what they do have — actual milk tea — is really exceptional.)
When I want some interesting Taiwanese street/​home comfort food (like crunchy chicken nuggets or congee or minced pork and rice) or fun appetizer/​desserts like fried mochi and waffles (and I think soon-​to-​be silk ice?!), then I pop on over to WOW.
When I want impeccably customer-​oriented and charmingly Asian customer service with my meal (complete with handing you your card back with two hands, bowing to you, etc.)… I mean, you get the picture, right?
I love mom and pop shops, and this couple (Chang and Sandy) gets it perfectly right. Thanks, guys! You know we’ll be back… especially for your bubble tea. :-D

I think this is a good step up from the lack of taiwanese cafes in Baltimore.
My only concern is the Boba milk tea does not taste quite right. There is some flavor I can’t pinpoint but it’s not to my liking. The food is pretty good but again not to by standards. I definitely think this place tastes great but compared to my history of taiwanese food back home in socal as well as in Taiwan, I can’t say this place is 5 out of 5.

This is a small taiwanese place that opened up in the food court in Charles Plaza. I was excited to find a solid bubble tea place finally coming to Baltimore!
I’m going to preface this by saying that all I’ve had here is their bubble tea and their popcorn chicken. I’ve been here on many occasions, but after I tried those two things once, I keep coming back just for these two things over and over again. The bubble tea is probably the best you can get in Baltimore and you can’t go wrong with anything from their menu. Their popcorn chicken is very very good. It’s nicely salted/​flavored, it’s fresh and juicy and makes for a great snack.
Don’t let the dingy looking food court shy you away. Great place for Asian food! Would recommend it.

So I’m Taiwanese and I’m very picky when it come to food. The reason that they are getting 4 star is that their bubble tea is great, perhaps the BEST in Baltimore.
However the food there need some serious improvement. We ordered fried chicken (not bad), beef noodle (soup is too blend), pork rice (not enough flavor).

I had the fried chicken minced pork rice while my friend had the fish ball noodles. I think WOW deserves some respect since they are definitely one of the only restaurants in Baltimore that serves Taiwanese food.
I really enjoy Taiwanese food, especially since one of my college roommates was Taiwanese and cooked for me! I didn’t find my food particularly amazing, but it wasn’t bad. It was just average Taiwanese food (which is very hard to find in Baltimore). I think I would give it a 3.5, and I’m rounding up to be nice.
The boba was good though! I liked their different sweetness levels. The normal one is not very sweet, and I would say that I like my boba at 125% sweet.

I had the jasmine boba tea. I really appreciated that they allowed for customization of sweetness levels, and gave you the choice of drinking it hot or cold. It tasted like sweetened jasmine tea with boba at the bottom. I noticed that some of my boba had little white specks on it. I don’t think it was anything concerning, and it certainly didn’t change the taste.
They have a loyalty card that they will stamp every time you go visit, and after 5 visits you get a free crispy cookie. I got the mocha one, which was really good.

Awesome service and boba! They use real milk in their drinks rather than powder, so if you are lactose intolerant, try their version made with soy milk! Chang (the owner) remade my drink for me and I was surprised by how little the soy milk changed the taste. The boba is on the soft side, but overall the drink is great.
The popcorn chicken is wonderful. It’s crunchy, not too salty, and it has just the right amount of batter. The flavor is a little sweet and salty with lots of five spice.
The beef noodle soup has a hearty tomato and beef base, and the beef is quite tender. However, I expected a little more given its price.

4.0 stars
Came here for an afternoon snack. Truth be told, I was expecting to be let down, since I’m from Taiwan, love the food there, and have a strict definition of proper Taiwanese food (different from Chinese food). I’m happy to report that I was surprised with some decent Taiwanese snacks!
The Food:
Bubble tea — I had the Assam Black Milk Tea with Pearls, and my wife had the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Pearls. The pearls were sweet, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I used to sell boba as a weekly high school fundraiser, so I know how difficult it can be to ensure the pearls are fresh and chewy. WOW’s boba pearls were as good as any boba pearls in Taiwan. However, the tea was slightly disappointing. It was a bit watered down.
Chinese Chicken Nuggets — Great batter, exactly what Taiwanese popcorn chicken should be like. Typically I’ve seen this done with dark meat instead of white meat. As a result, I thought WOW’s chicken were a bit dry. I also wish there was more seasoning; it was a bit bland. Also, typically this is served with spicy chili powder on the side. I asked and they didn’t have any. Luckily I had my own secret stash at home.
Cantonese Fried Golden Buns — Opening the Styrofoam container, I was expecting two big fist-​sized buns. Instead, I was greeted by 2 chicken-​egg-​sized buns. #Sadface. Luckily, the taste redeemed the buns. They were drenched in condensed milk, had a nice crispy dough, and filled with a delicious creamy custard. One small complaint was that the dough was on the thicker side.
The Service:
Super friendly. We ordered in Chin-​glish (Chinese and English). I could tell that the lady taking our order was from Taiwan by her accent and this made me happy.
Overall:
One word, «WOW». A great find. I’m impressed by WOW’s dedication to traditional Taiwanese snacks. A rare find in downtown Baltimore. You can bet I will be back since they are within walking distance. Just a few minor complaints, so 4.0 stars for WOW Food Café.

Awesome for bubble tea!
Not so much for food
It’s cool how they have car obese food you don’t normally find but I didn’t like their very think congee. Their rice dishes are good but somewhat on the smaller portion side
I do like how you get to really customize your bubble tea!

I’ve been eyeing this place for a while now since it’s the only Taiwanese food place I know of in Baltimore. The place is part of a food court off of North Charles Street. Parking is a bit pain, but if you come a bit early before the lunch rush you can usually find one. I ordered minced pork over rice, Taiwanese chicken nuggets and yogurt jasmine bubble tea. All the food items were pretty good! I’ll definitely stop by again and try other items on their menu. Also, I wish they had taro bubble tea flavor as well, but they still have pretty good selection.

Tasting bubble tea. Their bubble is well-​made. I like how I can choose the percents of ice and sweetness. 25％ is enough for me. Also choosable as types of milk and flavors.
Rice plates are delicious also. Big portion which generally serves me as two meals…

Yaaaas, 5 stars for bringing delicious Taiwanese food to Baltimore. I had heard SO much about this place, especially given the fact that Chinese people were giving it rave reviews (that’s what you know it’s good). I came with a friend totally new to Taiwanese food (and bubble tea). Bottom line: definitely check this place out for the fried chicken and bubble tea!
We were greeted warmly by the owner, Chang! We actually talked for a bit, turns out hes a dental student and that he is originally from Taipei. Chang, his wife, and his wife’s cousin opened WOW to bring Taiwanese food to Baltimore, and I’m glad they did! If you look to your left side at the cashier’s, you’ll see a cartoon of the three of them actually, pretty cute!
I thought that the fried chicken was excellent and seasoned perfectly. It’s Taiwanese style, so don’t expect what you’re used to with Popeyes or KFC, they’re like apples and oranges, both good in their own right. The spice profile is kind of like peppery and a little Old Bay-​y if that makes sense haha. Give it a try and see for yourself. I also think that they have some of the best bubble tea in Baltimore (so rare). Chang also told me that they’re about to debut shaved ice in a few months — I’m really looking forward to it!
Fried mochi was also awesome! Great appetizer or dessert to share with a friend.
I ended up getting two bubble teas to go to bring back to my friends. I can’t tell you how happy it made me to walk home with takeout bubble tea, as if I were in Asia :) I’m really glad Chang and his family decided to open up this awesome little shop here and I hope they stay to keep giving Baltimore a taste of authentic Taiwanese food. I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped by here on a recent trip to Baltimore after reading all of the good reviews. This is a very basic food stand in a food court that serves a limited number of Taiwanese lunch boxes — taiwanese minced pork rice, silk noodles, taiwanese fried chicken (yan su ji), tea eggs, congee, bubble tea. That’s basically their whole menu.
The fried chicken was breaded all right but it was all white meat (which is strange for Taiwanese fried chicken). The minced pork rice needed more pork chunks — seemed just like flavored rice to me. The silk noodles were cooked well but needed something to go with it. The tea eggs were good, the bubble tea was decent. I am hearing that Baltimore is relatively void of Asian food stuffs compared to DC, so I guess this was not bad for Baltimore.

This is a 4.5 star review. The service was awesome! Everyone was welcoming and friendly. They say if I’m not satisfied with my drink, return it and they will make it again free of charge, guaranteed to my liking!
I moved to Baltimore not too long ago, ever since then I’ve been searching for a bubble tea place. Lo and behold~ a bubble tea café opens up about 10 mins from me! I’ve been deprived of bubble tea way too long! I ordered an Assam milk tea with boba ($ 3.99) and it was very satisfying. It was a balance of assam tea and milk. The boba was right on point, nice & sweet and soft & chewy but not soggy. I was told that their tea leaves are straight from Taiwan and they do not use powdered products. You can choose which type of milk you like: whole, skim, and soy. You can also choose sugar and ice level. Since it was my first time I just ordered it regular. I also ordered the chicken nuggets ($ 6.99), it was good but a little too salty for me.
I will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, staff, and without a doubt the best (and freshest) Taiwanese food I’ve had! Their bubble tea is always freshly brewed — well balanced all around and you can always ask them to adjust your drink to your taste.
All i can say is WOW!

Slightly disappointed. The café was very hard to find. It was located inside a food court that was in an obscure corner. The bubble tea was pretty good as was the popcorn chicken, though slightly pricy. However, the minced pork rice was a big disappointment. There were basically two pieces of minced pork and a few mushrooms and not much sauce either. I basically paid 7 $ for a bowl of rice with an egg in it. If you live near here, I recommend dropping by for the bubble tea, but don’t go out of your way to find this place.

Delicious!!! I first visited because several of my friends had gone and were super enthusiastic about this little café. I’m usually hesitant to try new places, but the very first bite of food I had proved their enthusiasm was well placed! The food was ready quickly, well portioned, and super tasty. The boba tea was perfect in all respects (my favorite is earl grey); not too sweet, and the bubbles were not too chewy or too soft. Having tried several other things since then, everything on the menu seems well prepared. The rolled biscuits are especially nice with some tea, and the chicken nuggets are a great snack or appetizer (and better than any fast food joint by miles). I’m super happy to have a new asian restaurant in the area, and will be back again soon!

One hefty slurp of their boba and the exclamation, wow, literally escaped from my mouth. Finding boba this perfect in Baltimore was a welcome surprise. Tapioca pearls are perfectly sweet and chewy, tea is freshly brewed, and everything is customizable. The amazing customer service from Sandy and the owner is the cherry on top.
Would love to see mini tapioca pearls and longer hours.
Still feeling that bubble tea afterglow the next am. Wow…

Hidden Gem. Newly opened! Service is great and the owner was kind! The buba tea is the best you’ll get in Baltimore!!!

Excellent service! Jumbo jumbo 2.0. Fried chicken and minced pork rice is amazing. Bubble tea is great too.

I had the fried chicken with minced pork. Portions were huge and service was great! Definitely coming back here if I’m in the area.

The bubble tea and fried chicken are fantastic! Glad to finally have a good bubble tea place in Baltimore!

Hands-​down the best Bubble Tea in town! The food is very good too! If you like bubble tea, this is the place to go.
The owners are extremely nice and wonderful people. If you are not happy with something, tell them and they will make it right!
That being said, one improvement I would like to see in the future is in line with what some other Unilocal user said: choice of larger cup for the drinks, and maybe a more healthy choice of fresh juice for some of the drink options instead of the syrup.

So, in the greater Chinese (ethnic, not nation of origin) community, Baltimore is more or less known as a void for good «Chinese food». I’m including Malaysian Chinese, Northern, Canto, Shanghainese, Sichuan, Taiwanese, Singaporean, Hunanese, Western Chinese and central Chinese.
Mostly, I’ve found the standard limited menu derived from old-​school Toisan immigrants back in the 1900’s featuring general Tso’s Chicken, fortune cookies, sweet and sour pork and the like, with a couple local adaptations. In other words, nothing I could bring family to.
Fortunately, thanks to the super-​duper nose of Alice H., I became aware of Wow Food Café, a play on the Mandarin term for Washington DC, which sounds a bit like WOW food. I’m going to step aside from the question of whether WOW food will get in trouble with WOW BAO, which has been growing lately… and also side step the question of whether Taiwanese food should be considered a subset of Chinese food…
I will say that the husband, wife and sister team that put this place together has a great spirit and vibe. They are still in the menu testing phase of their work, and there are a few rough edges to the particulars, but there’s an authenticity to the style that recalls home cooking, a creative twist to some of their dishes (Yan-​su Ji Sandwich?! — read a Shrimp Po-​Boy with popcorn chicken, more or less), a cantonese traditional congee dish, Pork-​rice (their version isn’t the pulverized pork, but whole chunks), noodles…
In short, they’ve taken a selection of taiwanese traditional foods that you find on the streets and cafes of Taiwan, added a couple of little localizations, with a heart of service, eager to please.
The bubble tea is also a highlight using good quality teas, a choice of temperature and material (tapioca «bubbles» or grass jelly) and a choice of sugar content) all make for the highest quality of bubble tea available in Baltimore.
Now — for the future… will they stay in this food court?
Enjoy it while you can. :)
They’re good people, and clearly, people with a dream.

Definitely the most authentic bubble tea in town. The Guanying and Earl Grey are fantastic amazing. The most amazing part is their all boba ingredients are directly delivered from the boba kingdom– Taiwan, and that’s why it made the boba so authentic and flavorful.
I love authentic food, it’s extremely difficult to find a boba that taste exactly alike the one I drank in Taiwan, but they absolutely made it.

This place is as good as it gets in Baltimore for good boba. That is not to say that there aren’t things it can improve on.
After walking in, I was walked through the menu by a very eager owner, who is clearly proud of his new establishment. And I don’t blame him.
I got the iced jasmine green tea with 25% sugar, 25% ice, and coconut jelly. Too many places in Baltimore give you either no sweetness or full sweetness; the fact that this place advertises its ability to customize sugar/​ice levels gives me confidence in the ability to customize my drink to whatever taste I desire.
Also, this place is a place that offers more than just boba. Currently, they only offer coconut jelly, which is fine, but I hope that they branch into other «chewables» including grass jelly (my favorite) and pudding (some people’s favorite…) as time goes on.
The drink was tasty, and you can tell that the tea is brewed fresh and brewed well. No Lipton here.
One thing that I was a bit disappointed by with their absence but something that I hope the restaurant can move towards as time goes on is getting ahold of fresh juices for their flavored drinks. Currently, if you order something like Grapefruit Green Tea, you’ll get great green tea with some grapefruit syrup. Sadly, this adds unnecessary sugar and gives a more phony taste than real grapefruit offers. Look towards places like Coco’s for how Boba places can successfully combine fresh fruit juices with tea. It is delicious, and I hope that WOW food moves in that direction for its drinks.
Overall, drink taste quality is great (yes, I have been to Half and Half numerous times…). I do think that the sizes are too small for the average guy, so I would recommend that WOW invest in getting larger cups for patrons to get the option of getting a larger size.
I also ordered some food here. I got ahold of the minced pork + fried chicken with rice. There were a few pieces of pork with a good amount of fried chicken with rice. Although very tasty (the fried chicken was fresh out of the fryer and was bursting with juices and flavors while contained within a perfectly crispy exterior)… to be quite frank, the amount of pork and fried chicken was minimal for the price paid. There was just too much rice and too little meat to justify the ~$ 10 pricetag.
Ultimately, if you’re not afraid of shelling out a bit more cash for some boba/​Taiwanese snack food, you will NOT be disappointed at all by WOW Food Café at all. That being said, there are still many things that WOW Food can improve on including: getting a wider assortment of chewables, giving the option of getting a larger size, using fresh juices instead of syrups, and giving a better ratio of meat: rice (or lowering the price) for its entrees. This place is still brand spankin’ new, and I am sure that the owner needs to get his traction first before expanding his menu; but I am excited to see the direction that this place will go with more time. This place is as good as it gets for Baltimore, so go check it out.

I hate to be a debbie downer… i really do and i generally dont give 1 star but if it wasn’t for the great service… it would have been.
Came here last weekend since it was freezing cold and i didnt wanna venture too far from the hotel to eat dinner. My boyfriend had found this place for me since i was only coming here for the weekend but did warn me that it didnt have much review (usually means — be advised)
The entrance is on the side where The Grand is (Google Maps was off or being weird). Came here 15 minutes before they closed. The owner greeted us and asked if this was our first time (which it was) and he proceed to explain to us about the menu and what type of food it is. Being from California, i was accustomed to this type of food so we told him we knew what it was and launched into a friendly conversation of where we were from and so forth.
The menu is pretty straight forward, there’s not an overwhelming of choices. I got an order of the popcorn chicken and minced pork over rice meal, I really wanted to try the noodles but my friend didn’t want to share so he offer to give me half portion for half the price (awesome!) and a jasmine green milk tea with boba. I showed my check in discount and he said why don’t I just offer you a bigger discount since he had to add the 10% check in and half off my noodles, he just took one charge off. Really cool
After we got our order, he asked if we can give him a review on Unilocal (he didn’t say to write good or bad, he’s competing with another local business. Of course as an elite, I gotta Unilocal for y’all) and then he gave us ON THE HOUSE, the cookie roll (butter roll, something like that) that his wife makes fresh daily.
Tried my boba first of course. The boba was wayyyy overcooked, practically broke apart in the mouth. It was sweet though, the way I like it but just way way overcooked or super soaked with syrup. The milk tea? Horrible! Tasted like water and the after taste, a hint of tea and milk but first taste reaction — water. My friend think the boba was the way it was because it was cooked in the morning and we got the morning batch. Maybe… but still
Onto my rice dish, the rice was cooked with too much water. make it very mushy. The minced pork… dry…the sauce that normally goes with it… almost non-existence…and bland if anything. Imagine mixing all of this. bland sauce, dry pork, mushy rice… i rather just not eat.
The noodles — theyre werent bad. but i definitely needed to add the vinegar to it to actually eat it, much less enjoy it. The noodles were overcooked… making it hard to eat. The fishball look like someones brain. Overall, i coulda done without this dish.
The only thing that was good… was the popcorn chicken… thank god! i mean, it is kinda hard to messthat up. I had bad ones before but its not that hard to get right. It was the right amont of white pepper and the chicken was still juicy. Thank god for this or else i would have starved.
needless to say… i went to bed hungry… not coming back

Finally amazing and healthy (only raw cane sugar) boba in Baltimore!!! Thank you for opening!!!
They even let us try a new dessert item and grapefruit-​jasmine tea with jelly and boba! It was amazing too!

Tried bubble milk tea and green tea both! And we love it! It’s the best one I’ve ever had in this area! It’s as good as the one back in Taiwan.

It is really good Taiwanese food. I ordered the Fried Taiwanese-​Styled Chicken, Minced pork rice, and Bubble tea. If the Chicken could be more crispy, it would be better. It is worth visiting again.

This is a brand new restaurant in the area, which is just great because I’ve been waiting 2.5 years for a good boba place to show up. Jasmine Green Tea is on point. Passion Fruit was great tasting, but inconvenient since it has really hard seeds that you have to pick out of your mouth.
Favorite food has to be Silk Noodles. It seems to be a small portion but it’s sufficiently filling. Really great for a cold night.
Also ordered the Stewed Chicken over Rice. It was a smaller portion than what I had hoped for. Chicken was cooked well.
Waiting on an expanded menu, but I will return for the boba and Silk Noodles!

This is the closest place where I can get Taiwanese food (and yes there’s a difference between Taiwanese and Chinese). I’m so excited to have a place like this walking distance from work.
For one thing, there’s finally some good boba in Baltimore. I appreciate that their teas are freshly brewed, and you can choose how much sugar and ice you want in your drink (something that almost every CA boba shop does now). The boba is on point with just the right amount of chew (or QQ). I would definitely recommend people come here to try their boba. I hope they eventually add some more options to their drinks, such as pudding.
As for the food, I think it was decent. I would say Rockville still has the best Taiwanese food in the area, but this isn’t bad. The chicken nuggets are their version of Taiwanese popcorn chicken. While well constructed (good crispy outer layer and tender meat), I thought there could have been more flavor — I noticed they were missing the typical fried basil and possibly more white pepper. The silk noodles were a little too soupy for me. I guess I was thinking of something closer to oyster vermicelli, where the soup is really thick, but this was more watered down. But for $ 4.50, I thought it was a pretty good deal, so I can’t complain. They didn’t have sticky rice available that day, but that’s one of my favorite dishes, so I’m planning to come back to try that along with their shaved snow, or what they call silk ice.
Excited to see how this place shapes out.

Boba tea is sooooooo god and fried chicken minced pork rice is my favorite! Soooooo Taiwan! Love them.

Best I’ve ever had in America. I got the fried chicken with minced pork rice. The chicken and pork taste like they were prepared the same day. It was the freshest I’ve ever had. Come! It’s so WOW!

Food is great, boba is so chewy; it is now my favorite restaurant in Baltimore! The owner and his wife are so nice that they really bring out the kindness of Taiwanese people! Highly recommended, you won’t regret it!!! :)

Hands down the best bubble tea in Maryland if you live or are ever in the area! I would say even on par with authentic tasting (not the flavored powdery type) bubble tea straight from Taiwan. For those that are health conscious with sugar, the full sweetness level bubble tea does not taste overly sweet. It has the perfect blended taste of natural raw cane sugar and freshly brewed tea. I was most impressed with how delicious the bubbles were — not too soft or hard, but just the right chewiness. The café is located in a convenient and decent area downtown for quick grabs, definately check this place out!

First time here today on Jan 11^th, 2016. Talked to the cute Taiwanese girls working there and they said they just opened on Jan 8^th, 2016!
Great food and great service!!! I ate the chicken drumstick platter in 90 seconds (no joke) in front of the girls and they took pity on my growing body and gave me Taiwanese-​style fried chicken nuggets and Fried Mochi on the house!
The chicken drumstick (comes with rice, well-​marinated ground pork, tea egg, and pickled dikon radish for $ 10) — well marinated and the meat falls right off the bone. Absolutely delicious
Taiwanese-​style fried chicken nuggets ($ 6) — again, meat well marinated and made from high-​quality white meat. Crispy and tender
Fried Mochi ($ 4) — the plain version, no lotus or red bean paste inside; store-​bought peanut powder on the outside
Cons which I hope will be worked out soon:
Prices very steep for Baltimore, but WOW Food Café is in the busy part/​biz district of Baltimore and the food is tasty enough. Wait for food was a bit long since everything is made to order and they just opened. Also, serving size for the rice bowls a bit small.

This place serves great food! The fried mochi is delicious and so is the fried chicken. I will definitely be coming back! Everything I tried was a great deal and delicious!

Baltimore has been in dire need of a good bubble tea shop, and we finally have one! I went to the soft opening today and had the milk jasmine bubble tea, fried mochi, fried golden bun, and sampled the 5 spice chicken. They were all good, especially the mochi and chicken. The bubble tea had perfectly soft bubbles, and you can specify how much sugar and ice you want.
