Review: Dropped into Boba House today with some friend. Close to the university and a cozy place. Lots of options on the menu and most can be made vegan. The drumsticks were nice and the Hawaiian Chicken was really nice. Looking forward to going back and trying other items. Only drawback was we were seated near the blender for the iced teas which were a popular item that night. :)
Pros: Price * Good food * Fast
Cons: Blender noise for teas * * |

Review: I enjoyed my food very much. I ordered the appetizer sampler with chicken fingers, satay skewers, and calamari. I loved everything except the calamari. It wasn't bad, but I was underwhelmed. My entree was peppered beef and onions. It was amazing! My friend had a shrimp salad. I was surprised at how great the shrimp tasted! Another friend had the rainbow salad that he said was really tasty. I was too full to try dessert. That will be on my agenda for my next visit.
The restaurant is quaint, and the service was wonderful and friendly. The prices were not bad either. I expected it to be more expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised. My lunch entree was only $6.99. Dinner prices were comparable to many other places ($10.00+) I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant if you're ever in Greensboro.
Pros: Excellent food * Good value * Friendly staff
Cons: * * |

Review: Most of the food in this restaurant is supposed to be Asian influenced. However the execution falls very short. The dishes that we got relied much too heavily on the sauce and did not let the individual ingredients shine. Also the mock chicken that was part of the dish was sliced more like fish (wide and thin fillets). This was very odd and did not have the right texture.
To top it off they were using basmati rice which is not sticky and used for Indian food (you cannot pick up basmati with the chopsticks they provided) when they should have been using Thai jasmine rice or Chinese sticky rice. On the way out I asked one of the cooks what type of rice they were using and he didn't even know!!!
Also, they just gave us a tiny little serving of rice on our plate. Every other place I have ever been that serves Asian food brings you rice separately, and will give you free refills. For Boba House to just give a little small spoon of rice on each plate screams STINGY!
To top it off, the service was inattentive and the floors were dirty. Oh yes, did I mention that we went at LUNCH TIME yet were forced to pay DINNER PRICES just because it was a Friday??? What the hell? This is not printed on the menu anywhere, we didn't find out until we tried to order a lunch serving (this was at 12:30) and the waitress said "We only serve dinner portions on the weekend".
For the prices they charge ($$$$$) we expected much better food and service. It is obvious they have amateurs cooking in their kitchen. I have had meals at true vegan Chinese restaurants where the meal tasted twice as good for half the price. Boba House is simply not up to par. Very disappointing!
Pros: NONE * *
Cons: EXPENSIVE * BAD SERVICE * AMATEUR COOKS |

Review: On my recent trip to NC my first stop was Greensboro. Having lived in nearby Winston Salem 12 years ago I was really excited to learn about Bobo House. There is a great atmosphere inside and the food did not disappoint. The friendly server recommended the "crab" puffs, which were pretty tasty. For entree I had the Hula Curry Pot w/ faux duck. I was unsure about getting the faux duck but since I have absolutely no taste reference I figured it wouldn't gross me out and it'd be nice to try something different. They were tender pieces of ?? something and the curry sauce was divine. This place did not disappoint, though a bit out of the way in a college area. Totally worth the trip.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: My wife and I went to Greensboro and stopped in for Lunch. We both give it 5 happy cows. I would suggest their food to anyone. I had the curry and my wife had the madness noodles (or something like that). Of course I ended up eating most of the noodles and she ate most of the curry. The curry was with "duck", no its not really duck......
Parking was a little had to find since it's right there at the college.
Great selection and a wonderfully attentive staff.
This has been the best vegetarian restuarant we have ever been to!!!
Pros: FOOD * selection * staff
Cons: parking * needs some fixing up * |

Review: I love Boba House. They have the best vegetarian food I've ever had. The fact that they can make most everything on the the menu vegan makes me love them more. When I go vegan (one day!) I will still be able to eat there!
Pros: celestial tofu * ginger 'chicken' * good service
Cons: none! * * |

Review: I just visited Boba House for the first time, and like somebody else has described, I ate a very satisfying meal - something I thought wouldn't happen at a restaurant since I've become vegan. Overall, I am quite impressed! There's a lovely atmosphere; nice waitstaff; healthful, diverse, totally vegetarian (and can be prepared vegan), yummy entrees; and vegan desserts! I had chocolate cake, and it was awesome. Not only the taste; I mean too the very fact that I could actually eat chocolate cake without having to try to make it myself. My entree was amazing, too. I was hesitant about ordering it with "duck" but did, and it was enough like tofu to keep me from feeling queasy, so it was great.
Pros: all-vegetarian * decent prices * delicious
Cons: * * |

Review: I went here while in Greensboro for a few days. This place is a vegetarian's dream. I wish it were in Charlotte! The food is great and everything on the menu is vegetarian/vegan. I only got to go twice, but both meals were topnotch. I'll go again if I'm ever in the area.
Pros: Good food * EVERYTHING'S vegetarian! * Good prices
Cons: Parking is hard to find * * |

Review: I tried the "duck" and it was the first thing I've had since becoming vegetarian 10+ years ago that I would describe as 'tender'. It was a little unsettling at first, but quite impressive. Overall, we had a great meal and will go back. Not too far from I-85 if you are travelling through and need a food break. We plan our drive around making sure we stop here.
