    Beef vermacelli
    Freyhan D.

    Well, I'll just say right off the bat that if you do decide to eat food from here, do yourself a favor and either get takeout or get it delivered. Because the service is not only lacking, but extremely slow. Forget about being seated as we entered, we weren't even greeted. Eventually just standing there for a few minutes, we just ended up practically seating ourselves before they finally acknowledged our existence and asked how many in our party. From that point on the trend continued. Waited approximately 15 or so minutes before we eventually gave up and literally had to call someone over to take our order/get us drinks/etc. Same story for waiting on the food - took a while. Food itself was okay. I'd call it average. It wasn't bad, but certainly nowhere near fantastic enough to make me want to ever come back here to deal with the service again. Hmmm....does the name Bamboo Legend maybe come from the fact that by the time people are able to tell someone else about the restaurant, they are so old from having to wait so long that they become a legend?

    Fish cakes

    We've been going to Bamboo Legend since it opened, many years ago. At first, the food was great, the service was great and we had no complaints. Over the years, the food seemed to go downhill a bit and when we'd order wine, they had nothing left on the wine list except the most expensive wines. We gave up a few years ago and just stopped going. We decided to give it another try and were pleasantly surprised that the food is once again delicious. The three of us ordered different noodle dishes and other than the lack of spice, we were very happy with them. All were very tasty and the portions were plentiful. We also ordered the calamari and the fish cakes as appetizers. The calamari was very tasty, as was the dipping sauce. The fish cakes were some of the best Thai fish cakes we've had. They were cooked just perfectly, rather than being a little overdone and rubbery as is often the case. Our only real complaint about the food was that it wasn't very hot. Everything was warmer than room temperature, but not as piping hot as it should have been. The main reason for my 3-star review instead of 4-star was that the service was just terrible. We were told to sit wherever we wanted to, but sat for at least 5 minutes before getting menus. Then we waited at least another 15 minutes for the server to come back over to take orders. He didn't even mention drinks, just said "okay, what do you want to order?". No apologies were offered for the time we had waited. A table came in while were were sitting. They waited 15 minutes and walked out. We also heard others complaining that they had been waiting too long for service and heard the server apologize several times to others. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, but there was only one server and I think that was the problem. Once we put in our orders, the food came out fairly quickly so it wasn't a problem with the kitchen. Having said all that, the food was good and we will most likely be going back. We've also ordered take out once since that visit and the food was just as good and piping hot.

    We used to come to bamboo legend a lot back in 2007, but the service and food went down. Everything was inconsistent and slow. But we decided to try it again. The service was just as slow, but there should be more than one server. We waited a long time to have our order taken and we ordered waters which didn't get there until we had to ask again. The server was a bit frantic as well. Our starters were calamari and fish cakes, the fish cakes were good. The calamari was good, but lukewarm, still crispy and the sauce was nice. When we ordered our mains, he didn't ask for a spice level and by the time we got order we had forgotten about that. He also never checked in on us or asked how our food was. He also was out of the wine we wanted and tried to up sell us to the highest priced bottle. The mains were great, despite the service. I had the Drunken Noodles. The overall flavour was amazing. The vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. The beef was a bit over and it could've been spicier. I definitely recommend the Drunken noodles. Ambience is nice and clean, nothing has changed. Their plants need water as well.

    Teaser Thai Iced Tea
    Jen W.

    I wanted to love this place but sadly I didn't. The staff were friendly, but service in general was lacklustre. It took us too long to get our order in and when we asked for extra cutlery we never received it. The place wasn't busy either, it was less than half full, so we can't chalk it up to busyness either. Now for the food: Green Curry Beef - the meat was tough, the veggies lack seasoning and the bamboo shoots in the curry itself was overwhelming. They need to wash the shoots more before they put it in because it really ruined the flavour profile of the dish. (1/5) Calamari - below average, doesn't taste fresh and is akin to those frozen calamari rings you can get at Walmart. The tangy mayo that came alongside was decent (2/5) Soft shell crab curry - I thought this was the best dish of the night. Again, the veggies seemed like an afterthought, or just randomly chosen to add bulk to the dish. (3/5) My sister also ordered the teaser Thai iced tea for two bucks, and it came in one of those glasses you serve bourbon in (as pictured below). I thought they made their iced tea quite well actually, most other places make the drink far too sweet and with too little of that tea flavour, so this was really pleasant and refreshing. I may order one of those iced teas to go someday, but I'm pretty sure I won't be back.

    Very friendly staff. Quick service. Good prices. I especially like the peanut curry, mango salad, cold rolls and spring rolls.

    I brought my family here after a recommendation from a friend…read more There is plenty of free parking. They open at 11 a.m., and we were first in line. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and within five minutes it was completely full. My dad ordered the specialty beef bone rice noodle soup. A second bowl came out just for the bone--holy moly! His only complaint was the noodles; he didn't care for the wide noodles. My sister got the bún bò Huế. The broth was excellent and approved by my parents, and it came with a generous amount of meat. My mom ordered bún cá and really enjoyed her meal. Each soup-based dish came with a plate of fresh vegetables. I ordered the grilled specialty platter. It was a lot of food, but everything was delicious. I also tried the salted iced coffee, which was just okay. They accept cash or debit only. Service was quick and efficient, and we were served tea as soon as we were seated. I highly recommend An Ngon Vietnamese Cuisine.

The restaurant was spacious and could seat a lot of people, but from other reviewers on Yelp, this place can get very busy. We were seated immediately and service was prompt. We ordered the following: 2 X Grilled Pork and Spring Roll with Vermicelli 1 X Grilled Chicken with Spring Roll Vermicelli Both the grilled port and grilled chicken were tender, and very flavourful. The spring rolls were crispy, large, but lacked a bit of taste compared with other restaurants. Overall, both dishes were good as well as the service. I would return to try Pho next time.

The service is quick and simple, and the restaurant has plenty of seating. They also close at 4am, so it's a good option for a late night meal if you're in Mississauga. We went in around 9:30pm on a weekday, and about half of the tables were full, so it seems to be a spot that people in the area enjoy.

Service is quick (granted it wasn't busy when we came), they have ample seating, and lots of choices. 4 stars because it felt a little stuffy/humid in there compared to outside. It was my friend's first time trying pho and she loved it. I've eaten pho all the time growing up so during this visit I decided to try something different and go for their lemongrass bbq chicken. So good!! The portion was massive but it didn't leave me feeling sluggish or bloated at all. The chicken was super tender and packed with flavor, egg was cooked to perfection and the veggies were super fresh. Great place to dine if you're looking for a healthier, cozy, late night spot with large portions under $20 per person.
