A cute little restaurant in Anacortes, very close to the north shore. While modestly decodated, the vibe is very inviting. Our hostess was warm and welcoming. We observed that they had constantly had people come in to pick up to-go orders. It seemed like a popular choice for the locals. We ordered spinach noodles with tofu and cashew chicken from the Lunch menu. They were good sized portions, perfect for one person and food was delicious. Thai iced tea was refreshing. read more

No wonder why there was such a wait for this spot! The pho was delicious with tender steak, and the Asian fried rice was a good mix of everything. While I enjoyed the crab rangoon, it could've used a little bit more crab, as it was overwhelmingly cream cheese - but fried cream cheese is pretty tasty too. Enjoyed all the dishes! read more

We placed an order to go and we were impressed! Prices are good, the lady at the front was so kind, and the food was good! The pad thai was delicious, I think I would skip the crab delights next time, the filling was mainly just cream cheese that didn't taste like it was seasoned, and the Thai tea was also great! Would definitely come again, so many things on the menu looked delicious. read more

Creativity was good. Service excellent. But I felt the pho was rather tasteless. We had to do a bit of adjustments to make the flavor exciting. read more

Ordered and shared two dishes for takeout. The food was ready in less time than the 15-minute estimate. We had a Papaya salad and a Mixed Vegetable stir fry. The Papaya salad was very good, no complaints. Lots of shredded green Papaya, plenty of grape tomato pieces, green beans, peanuts, etc. all in a delicious (typical) lime-flavored dressing. The Mixed Vegetable dish had a very good selection of veggies, and most were well cooked. A few of the bigger string beans were not edible, though. They needed to be cooked longer (the beans inside were fine, but the pods were way too tough to eat). There was nothing memorable with the brown "house special" sauce. Service was pleasant, and prompt. read more

Okay, they were open. Cold interior, sparse and chilly. We had stopped eating here some time ago and now after last night we're were reminded why! The fried potstickers were a little too hard and crispy to chew, the TomKa soup tasted like creamy fish sauce! The table next to us said the Pho was good. Apparently that must be the reason behind the 4 Stars!!!! I say only try the Pho cause everything else is mediocre at best! read more

A bright bistro-like setting with a clean design that shuts out Commercial Avenue while providing plenty of windows to bring in light from the east. It's small with a growing reputation so be patient... when the tables fill up the staff will be taxed. The basil chicken stir fry I tried, spiced "pretty hot", was really, really good... and they had Singha to wash it down! A heads up... Bamboo Bistro sets a high bar... it may be a hard act to follow the next time you are out for Thai... read more

Amazing food but it's a cold environment. Would have stayed longer and had another beverage if it had been warmer. Noticed they had a lot of take out orders. read more

If you're in Anacortes (or even Burlington) and craving Thai food then it's a sign to support this little restaurant. They're extremely affordable and very friendly and helpful. The veggies in pad see ew were very fresh and I didn't taste msg - the sauce was mild and flavorful which is in my opinion is much better than greasy sweet sauces in other places. Again, it's fresh and affordable ($13.50 or $11 happy hour) and I can't believe I spent almost $20 on the same dish at one of the places in Burlington and it wasn't even as fresh and the portion was twice as small. Don't make my mistakes! read more

Crispy basil chicken was to die for, service was outstanding, beverages were great wife had pho beef best she ever had

Great friendly service and nice size portions. Food was served hot and fast. Second time there was just as good as our first time

I've eaten here twice since moving to Anacortes in January. Each time I came in for a late dinner around 7pm, and there were a lot of open tables, no waiting. We enjoy the crab puff appetizer, and I really enjoyed the mango curry. Portion sizes are large enough to take home leftovers. read more

We stayed at the bed and breakfast across the street and grabbed some take out from Bamboo Bistro for dinner one of the nights. We ordered steam dumplings (YUM!), chicken Satay, cucumber salad, and curry katsu. Everything was delicious and fresh. It's hard for me to choose a favorite but I would be between the dumplings and the cucumber salad. Both are absolutely delicious. We will be back! read more

Always good food and very nice people work here! Everything is clean, even the bathrooms!Love that they are open a lil later and never seem upset when you walk in 10 mins before close! Nice work!! read more

After a quick hike around Washington Park, this really hit the spot on the way out of town. Lots of choices on the menu. The crab delight was their version of crab Rangoon. It was the prettiest presentation I've seen and while it was tasty, especially with the sauce, it's always difficult to tell how much minced crab meat was actually present. The veggies on the Rainbow delight were enhanced by the sweet and sour chili sauce. It was even better when I added a little bit of their chili oil! Wasn't sure how the mangoes would work in the dish, but it held up well. read more

A hidden gem. The food was prepared quickly and professionally. The presentation was beautiful. The service was attentive and courteous. The prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is modest but pleasant. We had Pad Thai noodles, Pho soup, and mango curry. All were excellent. Thanks to the local who recommended it. read more

Yummy!! read more

Very good Thai food! Fresh vegetables and reasonable prices. We had the Pad Thai and Mixed Vegetable with tofu. The pot stickers that came with the lunch orders were also good. Next time I'll try the Pho. read more

We came here for takeout and were greeted immediately by the hostess, who was warm and friendly. After we put in our order, we waited in a couple of comfortable chairs. The food was prepared quickly and given to us with a smile. We were on our way in little time and the food was delicious. Very impressed by the service and food. read more

Bamboo Bistro is one of our go-to places for our weekly team lunch at work. We always order take out, I've never eaten there but always see people seated and eating at their tables. I really like their Pad Kee Mao. We also regularly get their yellow curry and the Penang curry. We've had the chicken satay and Phad Thai, and other dishes. Everything is always really good. They are friendly and quick. I definitely recommend Bamboo Bistro! read more

Excellent Pad Thai. Order it. I was in town on business for a few days. Bamboo Bistro was near my hotel so I decided to give them a try. The food was flavorful and service was excellent. I called my order in and by the time I walked over they had it ready for me to take back to my hotel. They're definitely a worthwhile visit if you enjoy Thai food. read more

I mean, what's better than staying at a hotel that shares a Vietnamese / Thai restaurant downstairs ? I wondered if there was a nearby spot, but I happened to see the word "Bamboo" and knew something Asian gotta go with it. I was right as I found out the restaurant was partnered with the hotel! Haha. I stayed at The Island Inn and finally decided to stop by here to get our meal before leaving Anacortes. The seatings were available with view to hotel pool. Yay! I didn't get to see any funky naked folks at the pool. Just joking! My friend and I ordered garlic chicken and orange chicken combo. Well, the portions are quite generous with complimentary vegetable soup. The taste is right with much left-over to bring home as we left the restaurant. The hostess/waitress was so friendly and let us take our time with our meals. Then again, we were literally the only ones in the restaurant at 11:30 AM on a Sunday. read more

New owners, the food is much better. I had the pho and it was delicious. I'll be back.

Super yummy. I am accustomed to Central Thai food that is on the saltier side rather than the Thai food you tend to find in Seattle and northern part of WA that runs on the sweet side. This is much more like the home cooking I grew up with. The family is really sweet and nice. We had pad thai, pad see ew and chicken satay. Chicken was moist and each dish was quite flavorful. We've been looking for a Thai restaurant like this ever since moving to WA. We will definitely be regulars. read more

Awesome dinner. Very fast and friendly service. Tons of food to eat . We came here and had the combo number 3 called the E-San Gourmet. This combo had 5 different dish plates to eat. We couldn't eat all the food and had to take the rest home. The restaurant was very clean and so was the restroom. We'll be back when we're visiting the area again . read more

The entrance to the restaurant is a bitt confusing cause it's connected to a hotel. Also, there's only 4 parking spots on the side where the restaurant is located, otherwise you have to park across the street or in the hotel parking lot in the back. You can cut through the hotel if you come in on the left side of the building like I did. Other than that though, the service was really good and friendly. I was seated and served right away, didn't have to wait a long time for anything. The food was pretty good. I had the crab delight appetizer, which was delicious! Then I had the steak pho which was also pretty good. They're good size portions at a pretty decent price too. My only complaint is the parking situation and slight confusion getting in, otherwise it's pretty good! read more

We were greeted by a very friendly woman as soon as we walked in. Even though we showed up probably 15 minutes before they closed she was more than happy to have us order, to go. She even happily answered some questions i had about some decor they have. This is a small place however they had the tables set up so it didn't look cramped. The avacado wrap was good, not much avacado. The veggies were fresh and crisp. It came with a peanut sauce and a sweet and sour, the peanut was so good i didn't even try the sweet and sour. The pineapple fried rice was veey flavorful and tastes fresh. Will definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

Great food, awesome owner. Always love stopping in for a bowl of pho. To bad they aren't in a better location but it doesn't stop me

Fast becoming my favorite Thai restaurant in Anacortes. Vegan options and excellent Cashew Tofu.

We were thrilled to discover Bamboo Bistro and their over-the-top delicious food. My husband and I lived in Asia for ten years, and I am almost leery when approaching a new Asian restaurant. BUT, we were delighted with this restaurant. It serves all the traditional Thai dishes, and my favorites such as Thai iced coffee and sticky rice with mango. Clean and no frill decor, you get fresh, fabulous Thai food at reasonable prices. Can't wait to go again. read more

Sadly disappointing. My husband visited here for some Vietnamese cuisine, and after reading reviews, were pretty sure this would be a good spot. Nope. Upon entrance we were greeted with an odd backstory feeling entrance. It was awkward and it was unclear on where to really go. After pushing forward past two halls, a kitchen, a weird window into the kitchen, a curtained off "breakfast" area, and an odd host stand, we found ourselves in the seating area. The host was quick in seating us in one of the eight empty tables (which we found odd since it was prime dinner time). The seating area was very obviously a motel breakfast area that was clumsily disguised as a restaurant. The decor was mismatching and cluttered, the tables were sticky, the chairs were older and uncomfortable, and the view from the long windows that spanned the whole room was of the backside of the motel, and the obviously derelict swimming pool. The temperature in the area was freezing, and there was no music or anything to help with the atmosphere, leaving a very awkward aura in the area. We order drinks and food, which came out quickly enough, though my water tasted of dirty feet, like perhaps it had been sitting in the fridge for a few weeks too long. The Phó bo was fairly good. Hot enough to finish cooking the meat, which is good. But the broth was just...beef broth. Not the wonderfully complex broth that's supposed to be pho. That was disappointing. The noodles, meat, and green onion were just fine. But then came the plate of extras that the host pulled from the fridge that was a bit away from the kitchen. The mung beans were limp, slimy, and the one I tasted was beyond nasty. The peppers were dry, and the limes had suspicious green and blue on them. Overall, not ever setting foot in there again. read more

We ordered take out lunch specials to eat on the ferry. My wife had phad see lew with chicken, and I had bamboo chow mein with chicken. Staff is gracious, very friendly. Our order was ready for pickup right on time. I noticed our food ready for us at the kitchen window; the clamshell takeout containers were still open meaning it was freshly cooked. We enjoyed our meals. The chicken was nicely cooked, tender, moist not tough or chewy or dry. My spinach noodles were all dented with a nice sauce and stir fried veggies. My wife's meal included her favorite broccoli which was tender slightly crunchy, bright green, not overcooked or mushy or stringy. We would order from here again definitely. read more

Bamboo Bistro has some of the BEST Vietnamese and Thai food I have ever had! Not to mention, the service is absolutely incredible! The sweet lady who runs the restaurant was able to serve my party of 8 in under 30 minutes. Also, the interior of the restaurant is very neat and tidy. All around an amazing find and I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

The food was really good and reasonably price for the portions. The waitress was really nice. They messed up on my Togo order and fixed it with out any complaints. It's a very quiet and small place but the ambiance was very nice. read more

I got the halibut with roasted veggies and my husband got the duck curry. The duck had a bit more fat than we'd like, but the halibut was cooked perfectly. The veggies and fish went great with Samba Oelek. They put tomatoes and pineapple in with the duck curry that I actually enjoyed having there. It added flavor and some acidity. The service was fantastic. The prices are good. The environment could use an update, but so could many other places. read more
