BowlBa Taiwan Eatery — Restaurant in Garfield

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at BowlBa Taiwan Eatery! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor was charming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

Now, let's talk about the food. Wow! BowlBa serves some of the most delicious foods I've ever tasted. I originally ordered 2 Baos, one had Pork Belly and the other had Shrimp Tempura and they did not disappoint. They were perfectly soft on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. Highly recommend you get two of them!

Although I wasn’t able to capture a picture of their masterpiece that they made since I had ordered it to go, their Taiwanese Strawberry Milk Shaved Ice was very flavorful! I personally didn’t expect it to be so huge but that was the cherry on top. One thing for sure, if you are going to eat this, don’t order it to go. I recommend you eat it there and enjoy not only the presentation but the amount of hard work they put into making it.

The menu offers a great variety of options, and I can't wait to go back and try more. The pricing is fairly reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. Worth every penny!

If you are looking for something new and exciting in the Garfield area, I highly recommend BowlBa Taiwan Eatery. It's a hidden gem in Garfield, NJ, and I can't wait to become a regular here! Thank you once again for the...

Love to see that there is a Taiwanese place in this part of town now! Also, it's awesome that they actually have oolong milk tea which isn't as common around here. The bubbles were soft and chewy. They have taro topping and it's actual taro, not made with powder like most spots!

As for the food, I got the minced pork rice bowl, Taiwanese sausage over rice, shrimp cabbage dumplings, and pork belly bao. For the minced pork, the flavor was great but I think it needs a little more sauce in the take out bowls. As for the Taiwanese sausage, I like that they added some minced pork & sauce on top. I think it would’ve tasted even better if there were a few slices of raw garlic in there. I also got the shrimp & cabbage dumplings which had whole pieces of shrimp and was delicious. The pork belly bao was huge and very flavorful!

Overall, I'm so happy to see a Taiwanese spot in this area and I would definitely go back again! I can't wait to go back in the winter to try the obanyaki. The service was phenomenal and the lady was extremely welcoming (I didn’t...

Okay so i’m going to be completely honest here, the food they serve here does NOT taste like authentic Chinese or Taiwanese food.

We were the first customers to arrive, and we noticed that there was no other people working in the restaurant besides this one guy.

FIRST OF ALL… the most odd thing is that the food tasted reheated. Their “Taiwanese” sausages were hard and chewy…to sum it up, the texture was like it was MICROWAVED!..(Genuinely disappointing.. coming from an actual Taiwanese person myself. )

The worst part was the popcorn chicken, it didn’t even taste like popcorn chicken. It tasted like straight up ginger, i’ve eaten a bunch of popcorn chicken before and i can guarantee that there shouldn’t be that strong ginger taste.

The thai tea was disappointing as well, it tasted artificial and watery.

In my opinion, if you’re going to make a Taiwanese restaurant at LEAST cook your food fresh… everything that I ordered tasted like it was microwaved. All these 5-star reviews...
