    Vegan pad Thai with tofu and veggies!
    Anna B.

    Thank you! I've been looking for a place that can satisfy my Pad Thai craving; this is the place! Pad Thai is the dish I've missed the most since going vegan. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now; so happy I finally did! I had the vegan tofu Pad Thai, vegetable Pad Thai, drunken noodles, and veggie rolls still need to try the dumplings, BBQ chicken and more! They cater to everyone and have a vegan menu with a good amount of options, wonderful and knowledgeable employees and delicious food! Everything I've had has been delicious!!! I'm so happy this place exists! Also note the appearance of the vegan Pad Thai is different (classic presentation) before I mixed it together and ate some, also the vegan drunken noodles filled the entire container before I ate some, I couldn't wait! New favorite Thai restaurant! I will be back soon :))

    I've only eaten here once. It was takeout the day of the wind storm that took out so many people's power for days on end. The 1 star is related to my EXPLICIT allergy statement about NO MUSHROOMS, which was repeated back to me as understood; only to find mushroom THROUGHOUT my dish! If you make it clear you heard and understood my allergy concerns and request, then blatantly ignore or disregard them, placing my well being at stake, you get no further chances from me.

    I was pleasantly surprised with Bamboo Bistro. My husband and I showed up on a random Friday night, mostly on a tip that BB served quail eggs, something I happen to LOVE! We ordered a bunch of apps, like fresh spring rolls, crab rangoon, and of course, quail eggs. We loved everything. The service was also super friendly and attentive. For mains we ordered drunken noodle and a pork chop dish that was very delicious and surprisingly healthy, with fresh tomato and cucumbers! Realizing at a certain point that we would be taking most of the food we over-ordered home, we decided to go full out and try the fried banana dessert. This was a particularly great version. The banana was lightly fried, there was ice cream and a giant mount of whipped cream AND a cherry! On the way out, I noticed an upcoming special on Friday and Saturday nights. After 9, apps are half price...um...that means quail eggs are half price. Hand me the keys, i'm on my way!

    Came here on a Friday afternoon and was immediately seated. The atmosphere was very calming and I love how cozy the place looked. The table my boyfriend and I were sitting at was wobbly so anytime we moved anything on the table, it shifted... we ordered some quail eggs for an appetizer and they were amazing ! I ordered the combo pho, and my boyfriend ordered an egg noodle soup with bbq pork slices. I would say that the pho was a bit bland for my taste, but i added a bunch of hoisin and siracha into it. The egg noodle soup had some wantons in it too which were delicious:) Overall, I'd probably come back for the quail eggs! The total came to about $40 for the two noodle soups and the quail eggs.

Have been wanting to try Nilfa's for a while now, I have been following them on social media and their specials were just so appealing and how I gained insight into their Filipino Offerings! Be sure to give them a follow on Facebook. We had the following: Lumpia - a regular menu item. They were delicious!!! Pork dumplings - a regular menu item. They were good, the wrappers were thicker than we were used to. I loved the flavor. Chicken Adobo - delicious, a little different than we make it, but it was delicious Chicken Sisig - Amazing that it is served in the traditional cast iron - sizzling. The egg and the mayo drizzle. I loved it!!! We couldn't resist the dessert case and bought two items to go. We were too full to eat them right away. We bought: Carrot Cake - Dense and delicious! Tres Leches - Moist and delicious! Menu options - a lot of variety, from breakfast, to american foods, like grilled cheese, cheeseburgers, Thai Food, eggplant parm, spaghetti and meatballs, and salads. I feel like there is something for everyone. There were a few tables, most seats are booths. Beverages - most are bottles and cans that you can see in the cooler to the left of the register, coffee, tea etc. I believe they have drink specials as well. Staff was so kind and attentive. They were very patient with the variety of guests that came in, many tourists, who had a lot of questions about the food offered. I definitely recommend this local business. I cannot wait to return the next time I am in the area.

There's records being thrown down, cool lighting, nice decor and even super friendly folks. The employees here are beyond nice and welcoming. Like they know what they are doing here and they are offering you an experience that is fun and funky. We started off with two drinks. One was called a salad of some sort (sorry, blacked out) and it was delicious. The other was just as good. Ordered the eggplant app - do not leave without this. Absolutely amazing. For food, we ordered a rice bowl with pork sausage and a noodle bowl (with lobster and clams). Don't remember the names. Both were absolutely fantastic. The flavor profiles are just incredible. The rice bowl had so many things happening. Just terrific. The noodle bowl has a broth that you would drink daily. There wasn't one thing that could have made these dishes any better. Do not leave without dessert. Read that again!!! Get the honey sundae. This is what dreams are made of. You will question reality. No matter how stuffed you think you are, order this. This place is just full of magic and wizardry. Like seriously.

    Good meal, prices definitely on the high side…read more Vibe: really cohesive, cool, themed decor. Large shared table in the middle flanked by bar seating. Service: Great Food: We started off with soft serve and the seasonal earl gray outshined the house honey. The earl gray had a great flavor topped with an excellent syrup while the honey was mild and the chocolate shell didn't add anything, although the 'honeycomb' bits were delic. Crispy eggplant special - good, very small portion Pork katsu sandwich - pretty solid, interesting pickle Pad mee korat - good, small portion Value: Aside from the soft serve, the portions were very small for ~$17 price point, and the food was good but aside from the earl gray soft serve, didn't amaze to the point of paying a higher price point. Overall I did like this meal but portions were small for prices. I hope they keep the earl gray soft serve around!
