    We've been coming to Bamboo Bistro for seven years, and we absolutely love it! The food is always fresh, delicious, and amazing quality. Our favorites are the pork spring rolls, seafood crêpes, and pork chops. They also have amazing desserts--especially the fruit Delight dessert, which we always take home! The staff and managers are so friendly and welcoming. We feel very lucky to have Bamboo Bistro in our neighborhood. Our whole family loves this place!

    My favorite serve Samantha so prity

    Had a wonderful dinner at the Bamboo Bistro and my favorite server was there. Samantha, I had the Hot and Sour Soup with Seaweed salad, and as my main course was the Valentine Suchi my wife had Mesio soup with Shrimp Tempura.

    "Pho Ga" Chicken Noodle Soup

    Went here with my girlfriend on a Saturday evening and we were seated quickly! Also this restaurant is very beautiful inside. The staff is also very friendly and helpful especially when it came to asking about food allergies which I appreciate very much. I ordered the "pho ga" chicken noodle soup and edamame dumplings. The Pho was good and the chicken broth was flavorful and the chicken was tender. Overall pretty standard for a pho. I've never had edamame dumplings before and was excited to try them and enjoyed them very much! They were tasty and they gave a good amount as well!

    Inside

    Best Vietnamese food I have ever had. There is a gourmet twist to the typical dishes. Adorable restaurant. We had fish soup, pork chop duck spring rolls, and the tofu seaweed salad.

    You know what, they had the Brodard spring rolls, which for me, worth the stopping in alone. Parking a bit tricky and the vibes are a bit "reclaimed Applebees", but the staff were friendly, the place spotlessly clean, the food delicious and the prices reasonable, especially for this neighborhood. I'd go back...

    This is a beautiful restaurant with helpful staff and pretty good food! Our server continued to check on us and was helpful regarding food allergies! My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday evening around 5pm and we were able to be seated right away. It did get busier as the evening went on! We each got an order of pho, I got the veggie & tofu one with chicken broth (though vegetarian broth is available). But we actually started with an order of edamame dumplings. I didn't think I was going to like these as much as I did but they were flavorful and unique because of the edamame filling! The dipping sauce was a nice soy sauce with just the right amount of sweetness. The pho was pretty standard but I do appreciate they gave a fair amount of noodles and the veggies and herbs were fresh. I would've preferred a fried tofu over a silken tofu but I suppose this was healthier haha!

    Tasty good. Nice to have a fish hot pot. Not many places have this. Great staff , very friendly and quick. Bright interior and spacious. Moderate noise level .

    FOOD: The food here is soooo delicious! I've been here a few times and everything I've had here has been great! So fresh and flavorful! This time we got the Vegetable egg rolls, Vietnamese egg rolls, Crispy Noodles with Beef, Cashew Chicken, Tofu salad, and Vegetable Fried rice. For dessert, we tried the fruit salad and sesame balls. Everything was wonderful! SERVICE; The service was great! Our server was very nice and helpful. AMBIANCE/DECOR: It's really nice inside. They've actually extended the inside so it's bigger, which is great because they get so busy all the time. I'll definitely continue to come back here when I am craving Thai/Vietnamese food!

    Pad thai beef

    Everything went well! The food was good and the service was good! It has a nice ambiance! Very modern style! The pad thai was good specially on rainy days which when we went there it was cloudy! The soup base isn't as authentic or maybe it was just me I don't like my broth to be too sweet and this was the case. The pad see ew was excellent! I wish there was more bok choy. Last but not least the Traditional Vietnamese eggroll! It was delicious! It is my favorite eggroll and the dip sauce was great too! I will be back for these and the pad see ew and the eggrolls! I would highly recommend this restaurant it is a comfortable place and you'll enjoy your food even when you go and eat by yourself! Just the hardest part was the parking... other than that IT SURELY IS WORTH THE DRIVE!

    Woah - who knew Newport Beach area would have such a good asian spot! Everything here was very flavorful and the fish sauce was superb. The best part is the fact that they allow dogs in their outdoor seating. There are two tables outside, one is shaded by the awning connected to the building and the other outdoor table is shaded by umbrellas. Back to the food. I came with three other people and we ordered quite a bit of food: Grilled pork spring rolls - so good! I love grilled pork so this was one of my favorite dishes. I saw a bag that said brodard so I'm wondering if that owner is part owner of this restaurant too. If that's the case, then we definitely know what it's so good! Shrimp spring rolls - my cousins favorite. It's good but I am generally not a huge fan of the shrimp. My preference is the grilled pork. Chicken wings - It's good but I would probably pass on this next time. They give lots of onion which tastes great with some rice. Green curry - one of my other favorites. So tasty! Can't complain. Another plus is that it has eggplant in there (which I love). Perfectly cooked and well made. Eggplant and shrimp with rice - one of my cousins favorite dish but I just like it because again, there's eggplant! You are supposed to pour fish sauce over the dish but for me it's a bit too salty if I do that. Overall also a good dish if you want to try something new. Vermicelli with eggrolls - pretty good! Fish sauce and eggrolls are everything for this dish and it did not disappoint. Mango sticky rice - we order two of these so each two people can share one plate. It was sooooo good! Please don't skip this during your meal. I was only able to eat one bite of it because I was so full but that one bite was everything. The sticky rice was so well made and it was still warm. The coconut sauce wasn't super sweet and complemented the dish. The mangoes were also perfect and fresh. Overall, so good. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I would definitely come back here again. There is street parking around the area and it was easy for us to find parking around 6pm. Lots of people coming in and out.

    If you are looking some authentic Asian Thai and Viet fusion delights then Bamboo Bistro is a great location. Fancy decor with a bar and plenty of seating. Their staff is super friendly. We ordered items to share and they brought us extra bowls and utensils for it. Was a real delight to see a nicely decorated Asian restaurant with reasonable pricing. I heard they had excellent desserts too. The table beside me was really raving about it so I'll have to come back and try that along with some coffee.

    First time at this wonderful bistro, it came highly recommended by our friends who are frequent diners. The food is so flavorful and delicious and I must say you gotta love the service our waiter , Lam took such great care of us. I could not decide if I wanted to have the delicious smelling curries that kept coming to the different tables or the chicken pad Thai I chose the chicken pad Thai we also had the edamame dumplings which were divine as well as some of the shrimp wraps. Everything was so yummy. The garlic noodles were just a little bit shy on the garlic, but everything else was just delicious if you have an opportunity to have their lychee Jasmine tea it is perfection and not too sweet. Can't wait to come back with a group of friends.

    Beautiful restaurant. Definitely need to try the shrimp rolls. So tasty. Staff were friendly. Parked on the street. I love their lunch combo. I ordered the chicken pho with shrimp roll. Pho was tasty.

    I wanted to try this place since it's supposed to be inspired by European cuisine and vibes, which…read moreI love. But after dining here, it doesn't live up to that expectation. I came here on a Sunday night and it was pretty dead. The restaurant is extremely small and tight - inside only had a few tables and the rest were bar seats. It's a good thing they have a patio area because that's the only dining area that could fit most patrons or larger parties. Just don't expect a view of the dock or harbor, as the restaurant is surrounded by apartment and office complexes. The restaurant itself is located underneath a building complex. I feel like the space is more fitting for a coffee shop instead of a restaurant. Even small restaurants in Europe have more space than this. Food quality was good and ingredients were pretty fresh, but the flavors were just off. For some dishes, the combination of flavors just don't go well together while other dishes lacked flavor and needed more salt. We ordered scallop with rice and tuna crudo to start. The tuna was bland, lacked citrus and acidity while the scallop wasn't charred enough, was undercooked and translucent. For entrees, we had branzino and steak with polenta. The branzino was a total miss and the worst dish of the entire meal. It was smothered in some kind of weird bland curry sauce that completely ruined the freshness of the fish. And the layers of random mint leaves on top of the fish added nothing to this dish. The mint was better off being mixed into a light olive oil sauce instead of having some odd curry sauce with mint topped on the fish. It tasted more like an Indian dish- nothing European-inspired about it at all. As for the steak, it was not charred enough and had super dry fibrous mushroom on top of it. The mushroom added nothing to the steak and it tasted like eating bark. Even the olive oil cake tasted quite stale and the fruit compote on top was way too sweet. The best dish overall was the affogato ice cream with espresso. Service was very friendly but oddly slow considering there was hardly anyone there. My drink came out after food was served. Price is definitely on the higher end and I personally don't feel it's worth the price.

We spent $100 on our meal today, and I had purchased a $250 gift card earlier this week. For a restaurant presenting itself as upscale, I expected more warmth and consideration. The food wasn't enough to make up for how uncomfortable the experience felt. I would not return.

The menu is online and you can order and pay through your phone, which is convenient. Our server was nice, but not super attentive to us, although we attributed this to how busy the restaurant was. We sat outside, and had a great view of the water. The Green Lasagna ($24) was quite good. The pasta is cooked well, and the blend of cheeses pairs super well with the pesto. The portion is a little small for the price, as you only get a little square. The Japanese Sweet Potatoes ($15) are definitely worth a try. They're cooked super soft and the sauce it is paired with is creamy and spicy, creating such a delicious combination. The grilled salmon ($27) was quite good, and the portion was pretty large. The yogurt sauce on top of the salmon made for a refreshing bite. We ordered a non-alcoholic aperol spritz and a non-alcoholic mimosa, as neither of us wanted to drink on a Monday. The aperol spritz was good, but nothing special. We think the mimosa had alcohol in it, as it had a strong taste of champagne. We decided not to drink it, but definitely double check your drink if this is something that concerns you.

    We went to Lido Bottle Works for a girls' dinner last night and had the weirdest combination of…read moreAMAZING food and slightly off service. First, the food was seriously 10/10. We shared a bunch of things and there really wasn't a bad dish. The hummus with tomatoes and crispy bread was delicious, and we absolutely loved the meatballs in the slightly spicy curry sauce. We also had the pepper pasta, clams (one of my friends had never even tried clams and loved them!), cacio e pepe, and Mary's chicken. The chicken was Korean-style and came with kimchi green beans that somehow tasted a little like dill pickles -- in the best possible way. We loved them! The service, though, was just...odd. My bestie and I both ordered dirty martinis with blue cheese olives. Mine came with them, hers didn't, and neither martini was nearly dirty enough. Once we got some extra olive brine they were much better. But the funniest part was when we reminded our server that my friend was still missing her blue cheese olives. She came back with a skewer of them IN HER HAND and just handed it directly to my friend. No plate, no napkin, nothing. We all just looked at each other like, "Did that really just happen?" So overall, I'd absolutely come back because the food was THAT good. The kitchen gets an easy 5 stars from me. If the service had been at the same level, this would have been a five-star experience all around. For this visit, 4 stars -- but definitely worth going for the food!

    The whole experience was incredibly disappointing. Between waiting to be seated, waiting to be…read moreserved, and waiting for the food, we spent about an hour waiting -- the food alone took around 40 minutes. The chicken sandwich was actually good, but unfortunately that was the only highlight. We ordered the special chorizo hash, and it was really bad. There was barely any chorizo -- probably less than one sausage in the entire dish -- and the rest was just a huge amount of large-cut potatoes. The potatoes weren't crispy, and one of the eggs wasn't cooked properly. The cocktail was even worse. I ordered the Dragon Coconut cocktail, and it tasted like a milkshake with a strong alcohol aftertaste. Really unpleasant. Waiting an hour would have been understandable if the food and drinks were worth it, but they absolutely weren't. Very disappointing experience.
