Cambodian Stir Fry with rice? Sign me up.
I only discovered this place today when I was browsing Google. We already have Far East Fusion for Cambodian food in Palm Coast (which is my favorite Asian restaurant in Palm Coast), but Love Boba is more for take out food with Cambodian Stir Fry stuff already made and ready to go. I got there today past six and most of their food was already sold for the day. Owner told me that they sold most of their food earlier in the day on a Monday. I had Ginger Chicken and Pork Belly and with the white rice it was epic. Flavor on the food and with the juices from the meats matching with the white rice, it was just busting with flavor. Owner was super nice and gave me a little extra to help finish off the other items left with no extra charge.
They do sell boba, but I am not the biggest boba guy. They do sell the powder mixes for the boba, but most places just do the powder mixes. They also make their take on Pho, which the owner claim they use bone marrow as a way to make their broth. I need to go back there and try it out. Most Pho restaurants just use pre made broth from the can, and the flavor is very meh. If you been to plenty of Pho restaurants, you can find out quickly when tasting the broth if it was from a can or not. If what the owner said is true, then it would be a treat to have Pho where the broth isn't complete crap. I'll update this review when I get to it.
The inside of the place is still work in progress, and they only been open for over a month. Maybe you aren't a big boba fan, or maybe you aren't into Pho, but the real deal of Love Boba is the Cambodian Stir Fry. I wish this place the best of luck since the owner and the family are cool peeps. Come here for the Stir Fry meals to go, and maybe get there during lunch hours to see what they fully have available. They only had five tables available, so seats are limited if you want to eat inside. Also they are next to Aaron's Rent To Own (the left building of the parking lot), this is important since they don't have a neon sign on top of the storefront.
Edit 7/5/25: Went back in to try their Beef Pho (which they called it Cambodian Beef Pho, which btw they also make Seafood Pho). To be honest, this is my favorite Pho I can find in Palm Coast. You can tell right off the bat that the broth is not the simple stuff you can find in a can premade (most Pho places use premade broth since it is quicker to make, but tastes flat). Owner told me he uses bone marrow to help steep the broth and the flavor. Whatever he does, it is different from the other places and there's flavor with the broth. Owner does said he does use Sriracha in his Pho, but honestly the broth was good that I didn't need to add any of it in the soup. Pho itself is a good size that is perfect for lunch. Some might want to go to other places for a bigger bowl but this bowl of Pho is just right. Some might also hate the higher price for a bowl of Pho at near $17, but most places I been to they charge the same price for a meh bowl of Pho. I'll say this, give this place a shot...
Read moreI was so excited, when I saw that Love Boba was opening, because I just moved here from Tampa, and miss my favorite boba spot (Romeo Tea). So, you would think, with a name that literally includes the word “boba,” they would have a vast variety of boba/milk tea to choose from. Nope. Every time I call, they don’t have any boba. Then, I called the other day, and they FINALLY did, but only had one flavor, tiger milk, which I love. So, I go to get it today, literally 2 days later (I called on Friday, and today is Sunday), and they don’t have ANY boba. “Next week.” Every time I call, that’s what I hear; next week. Well, I’m tired of wasting my time. I’m sure the food is delicious, but I won’t get it. I guess I’ll just stick to Tram’s Cafe, for my boba...
Read moreThis is one of the best restaurants in Palm Coast bar none! The ginger chicken was so deeply flavored that it immediately brought me back to days spent in Orlando- and if any foodie knows, Orlando is one of the key hubs in Florida for good eats. Not just "good" eats, some of the best.
This small, humble storefront is serving up one of the best price-to-food ratios with their two entree lunchbox, and to boot, the flavor is right up there with some of the best I have ever had. Love Boba's packed portion of white rice beautifully adorned with ginger chicken and slow braised pork belly makes what could have been just another meal a memorable delight to be had and something to...
