Bamboo Bistro is one of Anacortes’ Best little hidden Gems! Tucked away on the right side of the very top of Commercial, immediately after the round about, and sharing a building with a Motel, this humble little restaurant sits in an easy to miss location, and to the unsuspecting eye, might not at first seem very appealing... but if you, like so very many of us brave & fortunate locals, take a chance and walk inside, you will discover that delicious food comes in small, flavor-packed packages! With a menu full of lovingly prepared dishes ranging from Vietnamese Pho, Spicy Curries, endless varieties of Noodle dishes, heaping helping of rice dishes, and a local fan favorite: The Chicken Phad Thai (I -HIGHLY- recommend you order this dish with a side of their Mind-blowing Peanut Sauce, it’s a match made in Heaven!!!) and not to mention the great Customer Service provided by their staff, there is no way you cannot win by dining like a local at the wonderful...
Read moreWe decided to drive out to Anacortes for date night. We are pretty obsessed with Thai food so when I we drive by this place it was a no brainer. Its attached to The Islamds Inn hotel. I think that entire set up is great. An quaint little hotel with a restaurant right downstairs. The food was phenomenal. First we started with edamame & Chickem Satay.

His had beautiful carrots, red and green bell peppers, zucchini and lots or Cashews. Oh he loved it!
Both of our meals had fresh veggies & yummy spices. It was an all around deliciously...
Read moreExcellent phad thai and basil thai! Best Thai food in a long time ! Very authentic flavors, really fresh ingredients ! Great service!
Update: We ordered the same dishes the very next day, Thai Basil chicken and PhadThai chicken, and they did not look the same and were not as good. It was a different cook, and it was as if they each have their own recipe. We also based the spice level on the day before, bad idea because it was way different. They really need to work on consistency between chefs. They should be the same meals and quality every time! We were a little disappointed! Changing my rating from 5 to 4. I would change to 3 if it were entirely based on the 2nd experience, but because the first was outstanding I will leave it at 4. I think this place has tons of potential, I will come again, I just hope they can improve the...
