This is a great spot in CDM. I've been here twice with family and the food is delicious! They have a variety of pho soups, noodle dishes, curries, as well as the classic pad thai and pad see ew. They also have lots of clean, gluten free, low carb, or vegetarian options. One of our favorites are the edamame dumplings. Very unique and tasty. The Shaken Beef in garlic sauce was so good. The silver (glass) noodles were also yummy. If you like pad thai and seafood, this is a good option to get to switch things up. It's has a fish sauce flavor to it and comes with lots of crabmeat and shrimp. The House vermicelli is a great option as well and you can't go wrong with any of the curries or soups. Service is friendly and attentive. They were very accommodating for parties of 6+. Decor is clean and modern. It's lively inside and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

I'd give this more of a 4.5 just because the service was lacking but honestly the food made up for it. It was a busy night so the slow service was somewhat understandable. It does need to be worked on. The restaurant is very nice and modern. Prices are extremely reasonable for the area and the flavors are exquisite. I'd personally recommend the nem spring rolls, caramelized fish clay pot, and egg rolls. The shaken beef had good flavor but was a little overcooked and was cut in too small of pieces in my opinion. Overall, a place I'd come back to. Tons of options to choose from! read more

Let me start with the good: the food at Bamboo Bistro is genuinely excellent. Every dish that came to our table was flavorful, well-presented, and clearly made with care. I'd come back for the food alone. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by an incident I can't overlook. Our waiter spilled an entire drink on me -- soaking my clothes -- and while the staff were apologetic, no one offered to comp my meal or even the drink itself. Understand that mistakes happen as i have done the same thing in the past as a server in college but surprised. A simple gesture like that would have gone a long way toward turning a frustrating moment into a forgettable one. read more

We came in here again today 5/21/26 and it was better than before. Everything from the non stop exceptional service to the amazing food. It's healthy and the most delicious, tender chicken I've had. The vegetables were fantastic as well as the tea and vegetable soup. Harry was the epitome of top quality service and kindness. For food even for takeout this is our new number one spot. I can't say how amazing this restaurant is in every way. Even the facilities are clean. A must try. read more

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... read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came here with a friend and had such a great experience. Aside from the parking (there's no dedicated lot, so you'll need to park on the street or in the surrounding residential area), everything else was really enjoyable. We sat at the bar, which was actually a really nice setup cozy, inviting, and perfect for a casual dinner or drinks. The atmosphere was warm and stylish, and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a relaxed but polished vibe. For food, we ordered the fried rice, which was so good flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with quality ingredients. We also tried the garlic noodles, fresh spring rolls, and a few shared plates, and everything was delicious. The menu has a great variety, and it's hard to go wrong. Overall, yummy food, great ambiance, and a lovely place to catch up with a friend. Definitely coming back just plan ahead for parking! read more

The food is delicious! I had the house special vermicelli adorned with pork, chicken and prawns. It was delicious! The Bistro features authentic Vietnamese dishes, as well as some Thai inspired dishes. The bartender Hugh was friendly and attentive. He helped me decide on just the right cold sake, and guided me on how to incorporate a touch of fish sauce into the dish. The fish sauce was pleasantly refreshing, yummy and clearly a house recipe. The hostess/server Nia was so sweet and attentive upon my arrival. She really made me feel welcome like family. It's a great atmosphere and dining experience! read more

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. read more

After watching a Pop Warner football game, an early evening Saturday dinner place is difficult to find because this area is full of people and reservations is mandatory if you want to eat at a popular restaurant. We went ahead and chanced this popular eatery in CDM - Corona Del Mar. Luckily, we got there ahead of the crowd and were able to get a reservation. We waited for a good 30 minutes before we got seated. Before that though we were told to move to a "waiting area" - just a small space away from the front door. It is kind of small restaurant but oh, so busy and the food is outstanding. So, after we got seated, service was lightning fast and they want your order quick as well. The garlic noodles that I ordered were perfectly cooked and delicious! The giant prawns were overcooked and a bit dry but I forgave them for that because of how the garlic noodles were prepared. It was flavorful and not as garlicky like others. Eating out in CDM is always great. I've never had a bad meal anywhere here. One caveat about this place though. They don't do refills for soda or tea Refill - it's another charge. They can refill water for free when asked for it. So weird! Overall, the garlic noodles were a great draw and some of their menu items were intriguing and even interesting. If we come this way in the next few months, we might come back here. However, there are so many great restaurants here, we will probably try the others. read more

Amazing food always good Pad Thai (Beef) The beef Pad Thai was fantastic -- perfectly cooked noodles with tender, flavorful beef and a well-balanced sauce that hit the right notes of sweet, savory, and tangy. Not overly saucy or dry, just classic Pad Thai done right. Pad See Ew (Beef) The beef Pad See Ew was equally impressive. The wide noodles had a nice char, the beef was tender, and the savory soy-based sauce paired perfectly with the Chinese broccoli. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor without being greasy. read more

Newport Beach, Ca. My wife brought me here for my birthday. The experience was good. Nothing really to rave about or anything, just above the average somewhat. The ambiance was kind of a too close together crowded feel. They are currently in the process of doubling the space so this situation is probably going to go away. We didn't option for the outside table because of a construction project going on across the street that was operating at maximum volume. We liked everything served, the food tasted very good. I had the filet that came cut up into dice sized cubes soaking in a creamy sauce. The meat was tender with no fat or objectionable chewy gristle like animal product. My wife enjoyed her rolls and she is very picky about them. The service was prompt and efficient, very business like, not exactly welcoming or friendly. read more

Dining in is the way to go for this restaurant. Great food. Reasonable prices. Most importantly, the food is definitely worth the crowded atmosphere and the sometimes slow service.

We are staying at a resort nearby and I need some Asian food. Found Bamboo Bistro about 7mins away and it closes in a hour... had to rush there. Driving up, tons of cars parked in front of the restaurant and down the street. We parked almost 2 blocks and had to walk. Glad we had to walk cuz I was so stuff after dinner that I needed the steps. Walked in and there's 2 sides of the restaurant. Looks like there's an older side and a newer side with a bar and a small private dining room in the back. For Saturday at 8:15pm, closing at 9pm, this place was packed. All the wait staff were running around to accommodate the ppl waiting before us and us. We waited about 5mins and were seated in a booth by the private dining room. Gave us a good view of the restaurant and all that's going on. Very nice restaurant! We love the decor. Food was all good. Pad see eww with chicken, a must, Brodard rolls, another must. We did the tum yum soup with veggies, it was ok. Amazing service and fast but they never rushed us. Everyone working was polite and very courteous. Recommend if you're in the area for Vietnamese or Thai food or both. read more

Came here for dinner with friends, and loved it. All the dishes were very flavorful and well presented, and I wish we had something similar up in LA. I didn't do the ordering, but my favorites were the spring rolls (such a delicious crunch!) and egg crepe (definitely a dish you want to consume when dining in so you can enjoy it immediately). The garlic noodles with chicken were delicious as well as the green curry. I was just very impressed and enjoyed it all. Service was very attentive and fast, and the decor is nice - perfect for bringing along friends for a nice dinner out. read more

This has been one of our go to Asian food stops when we are in the Newport Beach /Corona Del Mar area. Interesting menu in that it is a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, maybe a little Chinese in Korean. This place used to be relatively small and now they've taken over a new space (in addition to the space they had before) which is much more comfortable. When we were there last week, it was very crowded but the service was excellent. They do not have a full bar, even though they are offering cocktails like a Mojito and a margarita, they are made with sake. Anyway, food is fantastic, w/ a BIG menu. The people that own BB take great pride in what they do all the way from The hostess to the waiters and bus boys. Highly suggest coming here. Good luck finding parking.! read more
