Jumbo Jumbo Cafe Asia Taste: Authentic Taiwanese Cuisine in Rockville, MD

Their Taiwanese chicken is great. The appetizer always tastes more fresh and crunchy than the entree so stick with that. Their honeydew green tea is also perfect.

My go to dishes are their popcorn chicken and Taiwanese rice noodles. The best popcorn chicken especially when they first come out of the fryer.

A classic in Rockville. It had been a while since my family and I had lunch here, and it was good as always! They have more bare-boned ambiance and service, but very efficient and effective. And most importantly, the food is still stellar and addictive. Such a nostalgic spot for me and will definitely be back:)

I'm actually blown away that you can get a substantial meal for less than ten dollars. They definitely provide that nostalgic old school boba vibes. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken has a great crunch even after I took it home. It has nice flavor to it and has a nice spicy kick to it. I got the minced pork with marinated egg over rice. It was absolutely delicious. I actually prefer their minced pork rice over the one from Yu noodle cafe. The classic boba milk tea is classic gold. The ladies working the front are so nice and friendly. Worth stopping by for a quick drink and meal after you get tired from food shopping at New York mart. Currently it's take away only.

I've been ordering from Jumbo Jumbo ever since it had a place in Montgomery Mall and the location by IHOP and I just can't get enough of the popcorn chicken and squid. So sad those places closed down. This is the only location left in the Rockville area and I will be so sad if they ever close down (please don't!) because their food is very good when you have cravings for Taiwanese popcorn chicken or other comfort foods. This cafe is located in a shopping center off Rockville Pike right next to the Montgomery College campus, East Gude drive, pretty easy to find, plenty of parking too. The drinks are pretty good too if you are craving a more old school traditional bubble tea without all those fancy toppings. Again, the seasoning on their Taiwanese popcorn chicken can't be matched by any other place, so definitely try it out if it's your first time!

They are so so nice! We arrived 10 minutes before closing and they still served us with a smile. Their site crashed today on UberEats (which is normally how you can place an order before arrival). They are also on Fantuan 飯糰 app but they said the menu on that app is not as extensive as that of UberEats. I placed an order in person (pretty decent sized order) and within 8 minutes everything was ready and well packaged. Lightning fast!

This is my favorite place to purchase the Taiwanese spiced chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce over rice. I can probably eat them daily and never get sick of it. The chicken morsels are flavorful and the batter not too thick. The basil adds a nice flavor along with the five spice powder and white pepper powder they use. The restaurant is still doing takeouts only and no dining inside. It would be nice if they can resume dining in because I'd love to come get dinner after work with them. I also wished that restaurant allows takeout or delivery via Doordash. I would order from them daily for my work lunch. Because the place is takeout only, I have to call in or place the order once getting there. Luckily the turnaround time is pretty fast and there's bubble tea to sip on while waiting. On a side note, the location does offer easy free parking and takes Amex / Apple Pay. Their customer service is friendly and prompt. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

A third review to say yet again that the Taiwan Chicken with Spiced Salt & Basil (you can just say "the chicken," and they'll know, because it's iconic) seems like Groundhog Day, but what a delicious day that is! Love the fry on this, perfect crispy salty/peppery exterior and moist flavorful interior for a big punch of flavor every time. Once again, this app didn't even make it home. If you can resist the temptation to eat it all on the trip home, you should give a Ted talk or something on being superhuman. I tried the Dinner Roll with egg (and slices of sausage) for the first time, and that was pretty good as well. The small, almost crunchy, sweet pieces of sausage were great, but the roll had some dumpling-like chopped green vegetables that were odd with the bread, eggs, and lightly spicy seasoning. Of all the other entrees I've tried, the Tomato Beef on Noodles remains my favorite. The chicken broth-like sauce coats everything well, and the noodles are soft but still a little toothsome. The tomatoes give a nice counterpoint of acidity to balance the salty unctuousness.
