Welcome to Jumbo Jumbo Chicken & Tea

“ The chicken was absolutely worth the trip to go get. We've been back since and introduced it to friends. 10/10 great balance of crispy and spicy. ”

“ Good food and great drinks! Normally I get the black house milk tea and my fiancé would get the Thai tea and we would share a Taiwanese chicken!! Note the spicy isn't spicy. ”

“ Jumbo jumbo is a classic boba and Taiwanese chicken place. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should! Their food menu isn't extensive but they serve extremely fresh and crispy Taiwanese chicken! This location is small with only a few tables and some counter space. Their food is about $8-15 for reasonable portions. Definitely worth checking this place for a quick bite, or your boba fix. ”

“ Absolutely in love with the food at this place. We always get the popcorn chicken and fried green beans -- both 10/10 and so fun to eat with toothpicks! Also love their rice bowls as well. P.S. the beef noodle soup is nothing special but everything else at this place makes up for it ”

“ My go to Taiwanese popcorn spot! Their chicken is perfectly seasoned and fried. Service is pretty fast, and they are always so nice and accommodating. Jumbo jumbo is SMALL, with just two tables & a handful of barstools. I typically order mine to go. I'd recommend getting the popcorn chicken vs. the combo, combo comes with rice and sides but I feel that the regular chicken is worth more bang for buck (I also have rice at home all the time haha). I've tried their minced pork dish too, and while it was fine, I'd highly recommend their popcorn chicken!! They also sell drinks too, and I'm hoping to try their bubble tea next time! ”

“ Overall: delicious fried chicken, large portion sizes, reasonable prices, kind service, in a super small fast-casual spot with a single stall restroom with no changing table. The inside is simple with only a handful of small tables that fit 2-3 people each. The fried chicken and green beans were incredible and I will definitely be back for them. The wings, beef noodle soup, and noodles with spicy sauce were all fine but nothing Is return for. It was pretty empty while we were there, the food took about 10 minutes to come out, and the plastic utensils were not quite strong enough for the job. ”

“ summary: a small shop that sells all sorts of things from bubble tea, to fried chicken, and even noodles. Flavor is great, but there are some things I think worth noting before dining here. As far as service goes, there's a person that takes orders and brings the food to you, but that's basically all of the interaction. I feel like the restaurant wants to be more of a grab & go place vs. a dine-in place. There's about 4 tables set up and it's pretty crammed in a small hallway (no tables exceed 3 seats). This is an odd complaint, but they use some of the flimsiest plastic utensils I've ever used. The actual dining logistics aside, we came for the food and it didn't disappoint. I personally found the Taiwanese Fried chicken to be the star of the food. It's perfectly crispy and has a great flavor to it. The mango habenero wings had good flavor, but were on the slightly sweet side for me. The noodle dishes had good depth of flavor. The string beans were kind of meh for me. All in all, they have a great menu of options, but you may want to consider carry/take out if you have a big party. Will definitely come back for more. ”

“ "Authentic Taiwanese Flavors You Can't Miss!" Jumbo Jumbo is a true treasure for anyone craving authentic Taiwanese fare. From the moment you step in, the cozy ambiance and friendly service make you feel right at home. The standout dish for me was their Taiwanese fried chicken--it's an absolute game-changer! Perfectly seasoned with a crispy, golden coating, each bite was packed with flavor while staying juicy and tender on the inside. It's hands-down the best I've had outside of Taiwan. Their bubble tea was equally impressive--smooth, flavorful, and paired with boba so fresh it was like they made it to order. You can tell this place takes authenticity seriously, honoring traditional flavors while keeping everything approachable. Jumbo Jumbo has easily become one of my favorite spots. Five stars isn't enough for the quality, care, and love that goes into every dish. I'll be back soon! ”

“ I love Jumbo Jumbo! I wish it came to Northern Virginia. I was on my way back from a road trip when my friend and I had a hankering for Taiwanese popcorn chicken. We were close to Ellicott City, so we decided to stop by here, since he's never had Jumbo Jumbo. Everyone was super nice here, and everything came out within 15-20 minutes (mine took longer, since I had more to-go orders). I like that there's spice levels for people, and that there's a lot of different options for people with certain tastes/ dietary restrictions. I will say that the "mild" for the popcorn chicken doesn't have that much heat, so I might go for the spicy next time to get heat (I ordered a mild + a black pepper). The tofu looks good in the pic, but became super soggy within 5 minutes of receiving the order. I think I might skip out on the tofu next time, but it usually isn't like that each time I order. The squid ran out, but I would order that next time. There were only about 2 staff members during the Saturday afternoon rush, so I might recommend getting 1 more staff member during that time, as it was fairly busy (all seats were taken and there were a few people in line). ”

“ Yummy Fried chicken bites, perfect pairing with bubble teas. This place reminds me of Taiwan for sure! ”
