Bubble Waffle Cafe: Teppanyaki Revisited?

I was admiring the store front of a new place that had opened up on campus called the Bubble Waffle Cafe, replacing the former Tea Works in the Village and made a mental note to try it one day. In a similar scenario when I was just passing by, I noticed an almost identical store front right by the London Drugs on Kingsway in the same plaza as Honolulu Cafe. Enticed by their one-dollar-bubble-waffle special, K and I headed inside to give the place a try. (Sadly, they had run out of bubble waffles for the day *sadface*)

This one is the lamb and egg teppanyaki rice ($8.95).

Teppanyaki, as they describe it at Bubble Waffle Cafe is without the chef and show that you might expect as entertainment at a more explicit iron grilled food place. Much simpler than that, this place literally offers your food on a hot and, what I am assuming is iron but probably isn`t, plate that cooks my food slowly (although it looked pretty cooked when it was delivered to my table). They also have quite the selection of noodle combos which I did not have the stomach room left to try, but I imagine it is hard to go wrong with noodles. Later in the month, I went out to Aberdeen with my mum just for a walk, and noticed they have another Bubble Waffle Cafe with similar combos and specials right in the food court. So they`ve three locations, which is really great.

And this one is the beef and egg teppanyaki rice ($8.95).

I really could not complain for the price (you may want to see my post about Kobe, and understand why this is "Teppanyaki revisited"). This was satisfying and nothing "out of this world" by any means, and while I did not try it at UBC, it is on the more affordable and appetizing scale of things to eat on campus. I could definitely see myself stopping by for lunch or on my way home. Sadly I write this post having finished my last courses at UBC, so I will not be enjoying a place like this during my own education here, but it is a nice addition to the restaurants already at the Village. Do stop by for some good ol' meat and rice!
