I love Thai and Lao cuisine, so anytime I order it, I'm very particular about the dish I order. I would say it's difficult for me to enjoy many asian cuisines because they don't hit the spot, but this place definitely hits the spot on various dishes. I absolutely loved the crab rangoons, spring rolls, and everything I ordered. The ingredients were so fresh and the drinks were perfect! Loved the boba and Thai iced tea. While I do agree that the Thai iced tea tastes different, I like that there's a unique taste to it that doesn't make it taste typical to other restaurants.
If anything needed to improve, I would say the only thing that would be better is if the pho were more flavorful. I love that it's a clean broth, but it's a little too bland. I don't think it's the worst, as I think it suits a particular taste palette, but more flavor would be nice. I also loved the papaya salad, but I wish there were green beans in it. That would've made it perfect. Otherwise, this restaurant is amazing, and I'd definitely come back.
P.S. This restaurant is SO well kept! It was very clean and so well presented. Usually, asian restaurants feel a little more sticky, but this place was definitely clean. Amazing...
Read moreThis is a Grafton gem. Family run and operated, you feel very welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of. Having moved to the area a few years ago, we were in search of good local dining options with some culture. Bamboo Bistro showed up, and is just what we've been looking for. The food is excellent. Freshness is a focus, and as such, they are willing and able to cater to your specifications. Even my two picky daughters (10 & 12) love this place. Fresh fruit smoothies and bubble tea are nice options. You've got to try the crispy pork rolls! Good wine, sake, and bottled beer selections. Thu (one of the owners) is super nice, and she engages her customers in the dining room. Even brought out some yummy treats for us to try. She was just excited to share food with customers. Sometimes they forget to turn the music on. SO we give them a heads up. And now... we're regulars. OH, and if you know anyone in need of a huge pizza oven, I'm sure Thu would be happy to...
Read moreI had the spring rolls with chicken satay to start with. The spring rolls were very fresh and tasted amazing. I do think the chicken was a little lacking in taste but that might be because I'm used to shrimp. The sweet chili sauce it came with was honestly one of the best I've had. It was a bit spicier than most Thai places I've been to which I personally enjoyed.
I had the Tum Kha as my meal and it was one of the best I've ever had. It was the perfect blend of spicy, sour, and sweet with the mushrooms and chicken being plentiful. If there was one thing I had to pick on it would the size, I wish there was a bigger option. The price is good for what you get but I wish there was a bigger option for higher price.
Overall I'd highly recommend trying them out if you're in the area and looking for a good Thai or Asian restaurant. Will...
