Chipoba

I’d been here previously just for bubble tea tonight I ordered a Poke Bowl, purple rice with scallops, spicy salmon, and shrimp, Cucumber, toppings were mango, avocado, sesame seeds, crispy onions nions, masago, and acallions. The portion was really nice, enough to share a few bites and still have leftovers. I will definitely return, the amount of food for the cost was well worth it! The fish is fresh and a nice variety is offered. I’ll have to rotate through. I’ll also make adjustments to the toppings. I had a Taro milk tea. My partner ordered pork buns and we both remarked how much better they were than other places we really enjoy them from. We definitely plan to return Sorry to only post my food,

For our first time here, my son and I enjoyed our visit. The service, food and atmosphere was good, delicious, quiet and nice. We ordered the "Shrimp Bun and Fried Chicken Bun", topped with a delicious sauce. We also ordered their large Mango Bubble Milk Tea and Passion Fruit Tea with Mango Bubbles....it was sooo good!!!! Thanks for serving us CHIPOBA! (1/11/25)

I ordered, Chipoba (South Orange), a couple of times for lunch, and just had to review the ramen. I ordered their, Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Chashu & 6 Minute Egg, on one occasion. And on another occasion I ordered their, Aburi Chashu Rice Bowl w/ 6 Minute Egg. I absolutely LOVED the Ramen Bowl. It was fantastic! The broth tasted extremely fresh and flavorful, the veggies added were fresh and added a nice crisp taste. The Chashu took a little getting used to. Not sure if that’s how ALL of Ramen Chashu comes, but the texture was comparable to being not cooked long enough. Great flavor though! The Aburi Chashu Rice Bowl was extremely disappointing, mainly because for the second time, the pork just did not have a great texture. Everything else was really good though! When I order this place again,

Ordered a poke rice bowl with salmon. Thought I had ordered grilled salmon but they brought me raw salmon (my mistake). When I explained they offered to grill it for an extra $2 (grilled salmon is only $2) but then changed it to $4. Not sure why but that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Other than that the food was delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, they have a pretty decent sized menu, and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend stopping by.

my second time dining here, first time getting the Karage chicken. It was very oily and it was more breaded than chicken. I’m not disappointed in the food really even though it wasn’t prepared right , but i’m so disappointed in the service. The young lady reassured me i was getting a ketchup (sauce) with the food. She explained it was a sauce made with ketchup. When i got the food, it tasted like pure ketchup. I specifically asked before i decided to get it!! I asked the cook what sauce it was he stated it was Ketchup. If i had known it was just ketchup I wouldn’t have ordered the dish. Service & demeaner from the young lady was terrible. She wasn’t welcoming, and if the food is bad atleast the service or something should be worth it. Bad for business. Have a good day!!
