    Chicken pad thai
    Ben J.

    Found this Thai place on Bethel Road just west of Olentangy River Road. Only takeout; no in-dining right now. When I measure Thai restaurants, you have to pass the basics: Pad Thai, fresh Vietnamese spring rolls with shrimp and one of the appetizers - this time the fried tofu. Loved the Fried Tofu and the dipping sauce - nicely fried and soft inside. Dipping sauce had a great flavor. Finished them all. Fresh Vietnamese rolls were good too. Fresh veggies and plenty of shrimp inside. The rice paper wrapper was fresh and the peanut sauce dipping was excellent. Finally, the chicken pad thai had the thin noodles - my preference. Good amount of veggies and noodles - it was plentiful. Good tasting and the noodles were not dry at all. For a first visit, all three passed the test. Now time to try their other dishes and appetizers.

    This is a takeout online restaurant. The portion sizes are generous and online ordering is a plus. We got the red curry and the pad Thai. I loved the level of spice and flavors of the tofu red curry. I wish there were a few more veggies but it's hearty yet light (what I love about Thai food). I'm not the biggest fan of pad Thai in general (partner wanted to get it). The noodles were cooked well and the tofu added to it worked better in this dish than the red curry. I think next time I'll try the drunken noodles

    Today was my first visit. I stopped in to place a carryout order. The restaurant is presently only taking to go orders. When I walked in I was greeted by the staff member. I decided to get Pad See Ew with chicken for my dad and me. I got his meal with mild spice and no spice on my order. I also got an order of dumplings. In terms of prices, it will likely be between $15 and $20 per person. My order was ready in 5-10 minutes. It was well packaged and the food was still hot when I drove home. The dinner portions are large. The Pad See Ew tasted great with chicken, vegetables and noodles. The dumplings were also pretty good. Overall I was happy with my meal and recommend Bamboo Thai Kitchen.

    We sort of stumbled upon Bamboo while in the area and it happened to be around dinner time so we stopped in. Unfortunately, it is still take out only which was the only downside. We ordered a mix of things including chicken pad thai, pad see ew and mini dumplings. The pad thai was absolutely phenomenal. I really liked how they used very thin noodles as opposed to the traditional egg noodle shape. The sauce was great. I would get it again in a heartbeat.

    I've eaten food from Bamboo Thai Kitchen as take out for years, and have loved everything I've had from them so far-- be it the Tom Yum soup, the Thai Curry, or their Tiger Cry sautéed beef "salad". The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. While I can't claim to be an expert in Thai food, they're probably my favorite Thai restaurant in Columbus. The only possible downside here is that their dining room is only open on the weekends since the pandemic. For your weekday Thai food cravings, you'll have to order takeout.

    Amazing food and iced tea, my boyfriend is from Thailand and he said this was the most authentic Thai food he's ever tasted in America. The service was incredible, they have jolly ranchers and mints sitting out and the wait was super short . Again the iced tea is amazing!

    Red curry with chicken

    I have gotten take out from this place a few times. I usually go for a curry, pad Thai, or drunken noodles. I have noticed the drunken noodle is more veggies/tofu than noodle. So if you are looking for a more noodles don't order that and go for a pad Thai instead. Their pad Thai is decent! They are consistent, convenient, and everything is reasonably priced. Be aware that dine in is not an option. I think it's a pretty decent place to go for Thai in Columbus. Bendy Wok is similar but they definitely have smaller portion sizes compared to Bamboo Thai so I would give Bamboo Thai a higher recommendation.

    First time trying Bamboo Thai Kitchen. One of my favorite Thai restaurants-Nong's was closed so I ran across this place and it had good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. Cute little restaurant for an intimate dining experience. Unfortunately the dining room is completely closed due to Covid. I ordered Pad Thai and Panang curry and a couple of eggs rolls. It came to $33 which I thought was a little expensive for the portions. Overall the food was good. I wouldn't say it the best Thai I have found in Columbus. I'm still searching for the best. But I would definitely order from here again.

    Pad Sew Ew
    Antora S.

    First time trying out Bamboo Thai Kitchen. We ordered bunch of dishes and they were all good. We ordered Tom Yum soup with chicken and shrimp, Som Tum, Combination house fired rice, Pad See Ew, Panang Chicken Curry, Thai Iced Tea, and KimChi. All the food minis Kimchi was good. The kimchi did not have salt what so ever. It was just bland. Out of everything that we ordered, my favorite was the Som Tum, the papaya salad, and the Tom Yum soup. Both were really good with just the right amount of seasoning. The portion size is pretty good. Will definitely go back and try different things from the menu.

    Kimchee dumplings
    Mark K.

    My first choice was closed, but I remembered this was on my way and remembered Mike G.'s review. Still no dine-in, but they are set up nicely for carryout. I called ahead, and ordering was easy. Inside, they have things set up for clear aisles and good separation. Pickup was easy. I got my go-to Thai item, pad see yew- wide noodles, veggies, meat. I was asked my spice preference and said "medium," since you never know what each place calls hot. For someone who likes heat, this was pretty good: tasty, not overwhelming, plenty of fire but not killer. And the dish was great. Good noodles, good sauce, tender beef (choose your protein,) lots of fresh tasty veggies. I also had the kimchi dumplings: big, a little fiery, with a good but unnecessary soy-sesame sauce. And a Thai iced tea, which I will need to start making at home. So good, so refreshing on a hot day. Portion sizes were, well, okay. A little small for the price. Good stuff, and enough to fill me up, but at other places I would have had enough for a small meal later. Here, it was all gone. But it was very good, and I'll be back. The menu is full of interesting stuff.

    Kimchi.

Inside has plenty of seating. Tables and chairs. I ordered a rare steak and meatball phó, and chicken satay. I got an order of beef larb, and papaya salad to go. The phó was decent. The satay was great. With those dishes I was thinking this will be my new go to. The service was only ok for me. Back at the house I ate the larb. It was too thick. I didn't order a tiger cry dish. Larb is finely minced beef, pork, or chicken. This was not that. Not a fan. The papaya salad was the same way cut too thick. I wanted to try some more authentic Thai dishes.

I Love authentic cuisine, and this Thai & Vietnamese cuisine is just that. I haven't got a chance to sit down and eat here yet, but I've ordered takeout twice in one week and both times it guninely felt other patrons were not only enjoying their meals, but the atmosphere as well! Very much "home cooked meals vibes inside which feels great! the Thai soup is a go to for me, but the curry's and pho are always great options, especially when you want something filling! I loved the Thai spring rolls as well. I'm looking forward to dining in next time! (Will update review ha )

We were greeted and told to sit wherever we like. We were the only patrons at this time. With it being our first time, we took awhile to go thru the menu. So many choices to choose from and so many appealing entrees. We ended up getting the diving chicken and braised lamb stretch noodle accompanied by some chicken wings to try. My diving chicken blew my socks off. It was beautifully presented, aromatic, and warm. It was accompanied by white rice. With Plenty of tasty marinated chicken, bok choy, green onions and bean sprouts in a semi spicy broth. Super fulfilling and a nice portion. I shared my bowl with a hungry 6 year old and still had leftovers! Fiance got the braised lamb and stretch noodles, he admitted he had no clue what he was getting or what to expect. Nevertheless he received a nice hearty bowl of lamb and hand stretch noodle in a nice and hot lamb broth. Also accompanied by white rice. He finished majority of his bowl only leaving some broth behind. We both tried each others and both agreed on the diving chicken having a better taste but I think it's because it's spicier.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

My coworker recently…read morecatered a lunch with Bendi and everything I had was delicious, so I decided to actually visit the restaurant to see if my feelings about this spot would change. They have a small parking lot which is helpful since parking can be challenging in this area. They have some outside seating and a small but cute dinning room with a bar. It was such a gorgeous day, I sat outside. I ordered the Penang curry with chicken and a couple of egg rolls. This is what I ordered via DoorDash, and it is one of my favorite dishes so I wanted to keep in consistent for my review. The waitress was attentive and friendly. It isn't busy at all. There is only one other couple dining during this lunch hour. The table outside is a mesh-top table, which is concerning, especially when you have a dish with sauce. When places don't provide a placemat, you risk food getting on your lap and pants. This would be a simple suggestion and fix. The egg rolls came out first. The presentation was really nice. They were nice and crisp, not soggy, like some places. The dipping sauce was perfect. I thought they were delicious. We are off to a good start! The Penang curry came out looking delicious. It was nothing like my DoorDash meal. The portions were good. Fair amount of chicken. Loved the flavor and spice. Some of the best flavor I've had in this dish in a long time.
