The people who work at this place recognize my family. They are more than I think scared whenever we come in to eat because we order ridiculous amounts of food. This past time was 3 large orders of the spring rolls (so 24 spring rolls for 5 people) another app and we all had our own dinners too. Nonetheless, basically no left overs. Still as yummy as before. I got their bun... the noodle bowl with veggies and meat on top. It was yummy... but I felt like it could have been a little bit better. Still my fav place to eat Viet. My bro went to pho saigon one day when bamboo house was closed and they said it was gross. Who knows. But as they say if it isn't broken, don't fix it read more

There food is pretty good. This was my first time ordering from them. Their rice is delicious and the wings are nice and crispy

Consistently good service and food. We order from here about once every few weeks and it's delicious. I usually get the vermicelli noodle with beef and spring rolls, and my family likes the beef noodle soup. When we order take out, they're very thoughtful in their packaging, making sure the noodles are separated from the soup and the veggies. The owners are extremely nice too. When we dine in, they stop to chat and always have a smile for us. I have no complaints about this place. read more

Absolutely love this place!!!! Every time I try something new, it tastes amazing!!! Have to go to this place and their Vietnamese Limeade is amazing! I love the spring rolls with the homemade spicy soy sauce along with the fish sauce! I will have to go back! read more

So we came here last night for dinner because my fav Vietnamese restaurant in the area is closed on Tuesdays, and I felt I needed to try the much raved about chicken wings that I have been reading so much on yelp. When we walked in, I immediately noticed there was only one guy who was managing the restaurant - taking orders, serving food, getting the bill etc. There were quite a number of tables filled up, so as you can expect, service was a little slow. This is a BYOB place. We brought a bottle of wine and the waiter was observant enough and brought us two wine glasses the minute we sat down. SCORE. My bf was rather impressed. We ordered the chicken pho and the chicken wings. The waiter actually alerted us that the chicken pho comes in regular broth, which had beef in it and asked if we wanted to have the regular broth or the chicken broth (which had no beef in it). This is the first time we have ever had anyone informed us that, and we go to Vietnamese restaurants like, all the time! I was actually impressed and appreciated that information he provided. We ordered the chicken broth version. Chicken wings here is GOOD! Believe all the hype you read about, it's all true. The only downside I realized is that the wings are coated with ALOT, ALOT of MSG. How do I know this? I went home later that evening and found myself thirsty throughout the night. I don't usually eat a lot of food with MSG, so my body system always reacts whenever I have something that has too much MSG. And this is exactly what happened to me after I devoured that plate of wings, well, almost the whole plate. As for the chicken pho, my bf likes it. The only downside is we both wished they had chili oil instead of the usual siracha which is really just more sodium than chili. I am giving this place a 4 star because both my bf and I really appreciate the service they provided. In fact, it was so good that my bf decides to leave a big tip behind. And we usually don't tip beyond 15-20%. Oh, and when we left, I accidentally left my winter hat behind and the guy came running out in the cold just as we were about to drive away. Another win in my book. Definitely coming back here again. We are won over by the service. read more

What a wonderful little gem! Thank you, fellow yelpers, for putting this place on our radar. The vibe was neighborhood-family-friendly, with Sponge Bob on the corner tv and a little Buddha shrine on the floor against one wall. The interior shows effort, but still has a little funkiness...which is something I happen to appreciate. The food was great across the board. We started with fresh shrimp rolls and an order of THE wings. All I can say about that is BELIEVE THE HYPE. There is something strange and intoxicating about these wings. I couldn't quite put my finger on the mix of flavors...the richness of butter, the bite of black pepper, lots of garlic, some spice, some sweetness (maybe from the onions?). They are served with sauteed onions, red peppers and herbs which were delicious and, while it sounds so simple, they really added a terrific dimension to the wings. The order is huge and despite having some of it wrapped, my appetite was pretty much killed by the time our entrees came. For mains, I got the pho dac biet and Ryan got a chicken/mint/basil/veggie stir fry served with white rice. The pho broth was rich and delicious, and I am very much looking forward to hitting the remaining 80% of it which is currently calling me from my fridge :) Ryan's spicy chicken was similarly wonderful, and it will be fun to sample more of the menu on future visits...though I gotta be honest, I can already tell that it will be hard to deviate from the wings and pho... The only thing that kept me from giving five stars was the service. While definitely friendly, it was really, really slow. There were only a couple of tables besides ours, but it still took forever to place our orders and the wait for our apps had us dipping my pho garnish bean sprouts (which came first) into various condiments to tide us over. At one point, Ryan grabbed a fortune cookie from the front counter. Admittedly, we arrived with stomachs rumbling and it's entirely possible that the wait would not have felt particularly significant had we not already been in a beyond-starving state! I'll be more than happy to update if our next visit warrants a fifth star....and there most definitely will be a next visit! read more

Best Pho and butter wings I have ever had. Super friendly and amazing food! If you want Vietnamese food, this is the spot!

By far this is the best the best Vietnamese restaurant! I've been going there for years and the food is always consistent and fresh . They are one of the very few places that have a Chinese menu and it is excellent. Their Thai fried rice is on the spicy side , and the flavor is fenomenal . Also their famous butter chicken wings are the absolute best ! read more

I had never eaten Vietnamese prior to my sister introducing me to this place. I CRAVE it quite often now; good thing my sister and I see each other frequently, because this is our "go-to place"! I have also brought my family and now they are Vietnamese-cravers, too... I have had the pho a number of times, but have also tried the salt and pepper shrimp; the quail; spring rolls and shrimp rolls; garlic chicken wings; a shrimp dish (#57) and a noodle and seafood dish. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IS STELLAR! Service efficient, and prices incredibly cheap! I treated one of our parties (9) and with tip it was just over $100!!! Will be back again and again and again! read more

I tried to come here at around 9:10, walked in, was told by the man at the front desk that they were only doing takeout orders now. I was pretty disappointed, because there were a few other tables just getting their food, or a server was taking their order, which means they must have sat down probably shortly before we did. Their sign on the door said they close at 10, nothing about take out only after 9. so I was rather disappointed by the service. Takeout pho is not as good as eating it at the restaurant. read more

Place is very unprofessional. Right when you walk in you're not greeted. Place takes awhile to get something other than pho. I tried to order the cat fish stew and they told me it would take a hour. Nothing should ever take that long to make. I tried to order something else and yet they informed something was missing as an ingredient read more

Best pho around! Always fresh ingredients and great portion size. - The perfect feel good soup. Fresh spring rolls are delish as well. read more

Bamboo House - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

The chicken wings: better than a warm Krispy Kreme doughnut when you're drunk, better than coming home exhausted to clean fresh sheets, so good you'll slap your mama. Everything else is amazing. If you love food you'll love this place. Pho is flavorful and very good, but you must get the wings, also the rare beef with lime, holy moly, out of this world. P.S. You can BYOB read more

Just stopping by for some spring rolls and pho. Very nice and homely, one of the cleanest Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Great pho!!! read more

What's not to love about Bamboo House! My family and I have been coming here to eat for over 10 years, even though we're Latino, we can't get enough Pho & their famous chicken wings. In which I do have to admit... In trying to figure out the famous recipe in my own kitchen. I've come VERY close ;) They have recently renovated the interior of the restaurant, and it looks cozy and warm. They dimmed the lights a bit inside, added tall booths, new wood floors. Not a huge makeover , but a gentle facelift. And the food , same ... Delicious ...consistent awesomeness ! read more

Bamboo House was a solidly brick building that screamed "Northeast." Inside, it could be described as a cozy, rustic Asian diner. It definitely had history and character. We sat in a booth and had a quick look at the menu. The first page made me chuckle a little- "We would like to extend our warmest welcome you to Bamboo House." Aside from the "we're trying" English, the dishes "that you may not have seen them before" were all items pretty standard for a California-bred Vietnamese like me. Seeing that, I thought, that's how you know you're in Springfield! Pho here ranged from $7.25-7.75, one size fits all. I had my usual pho tai nam again, and it came out before long. This pho was decent. The broth was pretty good, a little on the bland side, but still savory enough to save itself from my wrath. Nothing special, though. The meat and noodles met my approval, and it's never a bad thing to have a bowl of hot noodle soup when it's 20 degrees outside. Overall, not bad, but not worth recommending. Rating Breakdown Taste (10/14): Broth flavor- 3/5 Noodle & meat quality- 4/5 Garnish selection- 1/2 Portion size- 2/2 Restaurant (12/16): Service- 3/5 Cleanliness- 4/5 Atmosphere- 3/4 Speed of arrival- 2/2 Total: 22/30 Join the phoventure at www.phoacrossamerica.com read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The food was very good. I ordered the pho soup, the Vietnamese pancakes and some fried rolls that you wrap in lettuce. The fried rolls wrapped in lettuce were by far the best part of the meal. The pho soup came next. It tasted just as good as any other pho soup I've had, so that's good. My least favorite were the Vietnamese crepes/pancakes. I have definitely had better, but they weren't terrible so I was still able to devour all my food. :) read more

Hands down, BEST EGGROLLS in the ENTIRE WORLD! I always get the regular meat eggrolls with the vegetarian sauce. I was introduced to this place when I was a homesick student attending UMASS Amherst and have fallen in love since. I live in the Boston area but still come out here for their eggrolls and chicken wings from time to time. If you're with a big party, I strongly suggest getting the Canh Chua Ca Salmon and the Salmon Kho Tho. For my vegetarians, they also have great vegetarian food. On my non-meat days, I'd have their vegetarian eggrolls and their Dau Hu Kho Tho. I wish they would branch out and open one in Boston...salivating as I write =) read more

Location: Springfield MA Easy to spot. Customer Service: Courteous. Taste: Very good, authentic Presentation of food: Very pleasing to the eyes Portions: Large portions for the price Cleanliness of the establishment: Clean. Affordability: Under 13 USD Extras: Parking. And private booths incase you want to have more privacy. TV if you watch TV while you eat. Ambience: Small restaurant. Do I recommend you go there? ABSOLUTELY. Cons: They do not deliver. This restaurant is absolutely worth eating in. The environment is not the classiest, but the food is amazing. I really recommend the Vietnamese egg rolls which are delicious and addictive. If you can overlook the appearance, you will eat well. read more

The building doesn't look like much but this is one great place to eat. I make a point to go each time I am in town. Where do I begin? Ah yes, the hot and sour soup and butter wings! I am slowly eating my way through the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. They also have traditional Chinese dishes and they are very good. The best part is the price and portions. So if you are in the area, I strongly recommend this spot. Just wish they were open longer hours. read more

Hands down my favorite place to eat. I come here at least 5 times a month. The beef pho is out of this world, and if i could eat it everyday for the rest of my life i'd gladly do so. The staff has been punctual and polite every visit, and the restaurant itself is well maintained. Oh! And their butter chicken wings? FANTASTIC. if you're in the area i recommend this place 100%! P.S. definitely go with Pho. read more

Just off the "X" in Springfield on Belmont Street is the Bamboo House. Vietnamese and Szechuan cooking. Well worth the visit. My last visit I had the following: Egg rolls are served with lettuce, mint, and a dipping sauce. Wrap your eggroll in the lettuce and mint. What a great change of flavor. Wings. Absolutely fantastic. Crispy, salty, so tasty. Pho. Pick any bowl with noodles. You cannot go wrong. Great traditional flavors. Ambiance. This is a family/diner style place. Young kids are usually there, playing in a booth, or running around a bit. If you are looking for a quite romantic place, this probably isn't going to fit the bill. Keep your ears open for the ever present "YO". The server yells this every time she walks into the kitchen. Never ceases to crack me up. Hard working dedicated family. read more

CHICKEN WINGS were good. it had a unique taste to it and it wasn't drenched in grease although it still is fried and i'm not a fan of fried foods. the downside is that it's pricey. i believe around $12 for around 8 wings. PHO was the same as any other place. SPRING ROLLS were the same as any other place. CHICKEN RICE PLATE was good but it was veerrry sweet so they need to tone down the sugar. we went when there were no other customers and it still took 25 mins to get our food. i didn't like that too much. PLUS, they wouldn't turn up the AC. it felt around 79 degrees. i guess they want more people before they turn it up. this was the only thing the bothered me about this place. service was friendly and although the building was old they maintain it well. overall, it's not overly different from other vietnamese restaurants but it's a place that worth trying. read more

Good food, I had the spicy lemon grass pho and it was delicious. Not fancy and not too clean but good food. read more

Their fried chicken is like crack. I am giving them 4 stars just for that. Never had anything like it- peppery, crunchy, but not too greasy, deep fried goodness. The pho is decent. Summer rolls are yummy. I would agree with another reviewer to stick to the Vietnamese foods. The Chinese food is below mediocre- brother in law had some sort of lo mein or chow mein which was pretty gross. The service was slow, because there was one server for the entire place and there was one huge family that was seated right before us, with all their five kids who were screaming and crying and basically making a huge ruckus. Pretty small, hole in the wall type place. But that fried chicken- yes. read more

OMG!! My only and first 5 star rating of a restaurant!! Even though the exterior of this place is nondescript and totally unpretentious and plain; the food is what matters most. Try their staple or signature entree which I believe is also their famous butter and oniony chicken wings- so yummy good! Little spicy but I like it! Then all their fried rice choices are good esp. the Thai style shrimp or beef option which has a spicy curry flavor I believe which is pleasing to the palate. Will definitely try their other menu offerings next time. read more

Im surprised this place hasnt ended up on the food network. Every person I have ever brought here become addicted to whatever they get .. and have withdrwels at some point down the road. The place is a basic hole in the wall .. you wouldnt even notice it driving by. The innside is unassuming.. yet the food is one of the best in Western mass... My reccomendations: 1. Grilled Pork over vermicilli 2. Curry chicken ( not on menu) but they make the best 3. Grilled beef on skewere ( its an appetizer but .. can be a meal) 4. Pork fried rice ( not scary like other places-- this stuffs the real deal) 5. Won Ton- no noodle.. ( again not like other places .. real - full of vegatable and ying yang like lime and chili peppers) read more

I love this place soooooooo much. We've been customers for over 10 years. We no longer live in the area but somehow always find our way back once every few months. Every time we come, eggrolls with vegetarian sauce and their chicken wings are a MUST! I also like the caramelized salmon that comes in a clay pot and the canh chua. Even though it's a Vietnamese restaurant and I am a huge fan of pho, I never get it here because everything else is way better. P.S. They are closed on Mondays so plan accordingly. read more
