My favorite place to get boba for the last 10 years. They have the best handmade dumplings and bao in Irvine. I love supporting this small business and the couple who run it are so sweet. You have to try it!
Every time we're in Irvine we have to stop here for the Boba. It's almost a family tradition now! Kids love the Boba ... The store has not changed in years, the prices are pretty good too!
Been going here for a decade or more! My first place to try Boba and still my favorite! They’ve got the best handmade dumplings and other delicious Asian food and treats you might not find other places! Owners are so sweet and kind. I love this little gem of Irvine.
We actually stopped into Champion Food Co out of curiosity because it looked like nice Taiwanese market. We ended up getting a bag of pork leek dumplings and a few tea eggs to snack on. You can tell that the dumplings are handmade. The quality appears to be very good and this might end being our go to dumpling spot. The eggs were yummy. The man and woman working were very friendly. I think we’ll have to come back and try more.
Nice little convience store in this shopping center. It seems to be family owned and operated. The little couple working are just adorable. We also eat at the Japanese restaurant next door, get Vietnamese coffee at 7 Leaves, and went out in a limb and tried KFC since they have opened up here. There is also a bakery available with some delicuous treats. Parking is tight so be careful when driving thru the lot. There are lots of people walking around.
Champion was good at the time when boba wasn't all spread like today. They were one of the first places you can get a good quality boba drinks. I honestly haven't visited this place for quite some time. They also specialized in homemade dumplings.
This store has been here at least as long as Taiko next door. I've gone to Taiko since I was a kid, and I remember Champion, so these 2 seem to be side-by-side forever partners!
There's really only 1 thing I get from Champion and it's the traditional shaved ice.
This is the CLASSIC Taiwanese shaved ice and they offer it at $5.50 flat.
Here are the options:
- Lychee
- Rice Balls
- Barley
- Grass Jelly
- Almond Jelly
- Pudding
- Red Bean
- Pineapple
- Mung Bean
And then you can top it with the classic condensed milk or other flavors.
I LOVE the pink and white rice balls. They tend to sell out of them if you go at night so go in the daytime! Or better yet, call ahead if you love rice balls as much as I do.
Out of all the servers, I like the "mom" server the best. I like her style of putting ice in the container, and then putting condensed milk BEFORE the toppings. That's very important!! Otherwise, the "dad" server tends to douse the toppings with condensed milk and it gets overly sweet and you lose the taste of individual toppings.
Can't go wrong with the rice balls, lychee, grass jelly and barley!
I've also had their regular boba milk tea here too and it has a nice strong taste. They even have other taiwanese snacks (like tea eggs, jerky, dumplings etc) and a large menu of drinks.
Give this mom & pop place some love!
我很喜歡！I love this store and their boba is so good! I like to get the Thai milk tea with boba. Also, the tea eggs are good too. The people are so nice!
