    1. Bambu Special

    Drinks are delicious ! The service is always great with not much of a wait depending on how busy it gets but they have an area with couches and games. Would def be back to try the other drinks.

    Pandan Waffle, Macarons, 10. Bambu Favorite, 5. Smashed Avocado
    Linda Q.

    I've been wanting to try BamBū since I passed by their chain in Atlantic City a few weekends ago. Was busy and didn't get the chance to try before leaving but glad I was able to find one locally here. I ordered the BamBū favorite and my friend got the smashed avocado dessert drink. Seeing the amount of toppings inside I was afraid that BamBū favorite might be too overwhelming but to my surprise, it wasn't too sweet and all the fun textures inside kept making me go back for more. My friends smashed avocado drink was very fresh, unlike any avocado smoothie variation I've had before. You can taste that they used real avocados, a lot of it and I always really appreciate when dessert places incorporate the actual ingredient in their flavoring instead of relying on artificial syrups or powders. Then we also split a pandan waffle and I got a box of macarons to-go. You might not be able to taste much difference in the pandan flavor but the Mochi-like texture of the waffle made it extra yummy especially when it's still kinda crispy on the outside, hot off the grill. Also the macarons were good, especially matcha and honey lavender but I have a weird taste for floral/fragrant flavors so might not be everyone's thing...definitely have friends who think those flavors are nasty but to each their own.

    Got the BAMBU combo and a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee with coffee jelly and both were delicious. Service was great too!

    We literally go here like once a week and always get the Bambu favorite. Service is great and drinks are made quick! Parking can be tight sometimes but usually is not a problem.

    2/4/22. Let's see what's shaking

    2/9/22 On 2/4/22 my wife and I happened to stop by this business, because of a wrong turn made by me. This business did not have a lot of customers in the shop when we arrived. In fact, the one person I did see in the shop could have been an employee on his lunch break. Whatever the case is, there were a lot of drinks to choose from. I don't remember what my wife ordered, but when I was considering getting something like, pear, peach or mango, I learned a milk product is made with the drink. The guy working the counter said he can't make the drinks without the half and half product. I find milk product in my slushie drink to be a bad idea. Since I couldn't get water in my drink of choice instead of milk, I decided not to get anything. I did notice this restaurant had seating areas where you sit talk and play foosball or play some kind of card games. I noticed a big screen tv showing The Olympics (Olympic Games Beijing 2022 February 4, 2022 - February 20, 2022), but I will rewatch it later on. I did see cartoon characters like Spongebob ice cream and other items that one might find in a Good Humor Truck. There was also some Asian style ice cream I am not familiar with. There is one arcade machine in the corner near the bathrooms. The game I believe is called Centipede. This machine might have the function to play other games too. The floor of the place has some designs carved into the floor. Not sure if this was already there when this business took over, or it was done when this store opened up. Whatever the case is, it looks nice. My wife bought a drink and the guy made the drink in the kitchen area. I am use to seeing drinks get made out kn the open so one can see what is being put in the drink. This experience was not the case and my wife told me the drink had a funny taste to it. She later felt strange after drinking the drink. She did not finish the drink and she has no intention of ever going back here. Still, I give this place three stars on its looks and cleanliness from walking inside the shop.

    I was craving for che so we came here to check this place out. We ordered the fruit addict che and it came with a lot of ice on the top and milk. As soon as we left the place, I mixed everything up and tried it to see what it tasted like. The milk in the che was not sweet and tasted watered down. There was barely any toppings, such as the fruit and jellies. For every bite of toppings you got, you would get like 3-4 spoonfuls of milk afterwards. I loved the toppings though, particularly the pandan jelly and ruby pearls. By the time we got to finishing the rest of the che after dinner, the flavoring was so diluted because all of the ice had melted. Also, I wish that they had bigger spoons. Those little long red spoons that they have don't really fit anything on there.

    Julio is the best and he provides the friendliest customer service! The man is always such a joy to talk to! My favorite place to get Vietnamese drinks! I would recommend Bambu to anyone.

    6. Fruit Addict
    Nichakorn C.

    Fruit Addict was ok. It was not my thing but I'm pretty sure that a lot of people will like it. Kinda tastes like Thai dessert that I had when I was in Thailand. $8 with a lot of toppings. It was not that flavorful because coconut milk was kinda get dilute with ice.

    Mango Fresh Fruit Smoothie with Boba & Fruit Addict Che
    Francesca T.

    Cute little spot! Parking can be a bit of a hassle as it shares a small lot with Kogiya next door and some beauty school upstairs. But if you can get a spot it's worth it! I've brought my 5 year old son here with me a few times and he loves being able to see and read the HUGE photo menu on the wall so he can pick what he wants. He typically will pick a real fruit smoothie with boba and I'll go for the fruit addict che. I've tried a few different chés and appreciate the descriptions on the menu cause otherwise I would never know what anything is. My favorite is the fruit addict which reminds me of Filipino halo halo without the ice cream. I just really love palm seeds! The interior is super relaxed, couches in one corner with some foosball and a few games at the other tables so you feel welcome to hang out and relax for a bit.

    Passion Fruit Juice

    I've been wanting to try Bambu forever and was so excited that it was close to where my friends and I had dinner! My friend is Vietnamese American and she highly recommended their triple layer delight (second picture) and it was amazing!! I realized I love pandan jelly and the combo was a good balance of hearty and sweet! I will definitely order again. The passion fruit juice was one of the best passion fruit drinks I've ever had! The flavor was impeccable and I will definitely order a large next time. The cashier who I think was the owner was super friendly and helped us make recommendations. They have a huge variety of drinks so definitely a good spot for a group! They also had various snacks for sale. They have a foosball table and seating area to hang out. Highly highly recommend Bambu for delicious drinks! I forgot to mention that we also got the pandan waffle and it was amazing! Subtle and chewy goodness!

    Marisol D.

    Very good selection of drinks. Good prices. Not a long wait. Great drinks right beside kogiya. The only other places I've seen these sold were in Philly. I'm happy to have one so close to home again. Yummmm

    It seems that Bambu used to be in the Eden Center; however, I've never visited that location before they closed down. My friend and I found this spot by accident. He was craving an avocado smoothie and Bambu popped up as an option. Located in a super tiny area in Annandale with limited parking, Bambu has a simple yet welcoming interior and offers an appealing menu. I ordered of the Ché menu and got myself a Summer Delight. My drink was packed with goodies like red tapioca, coconut milk, grass and pandan jelly and mung beans. I also loved that my drink wasn't overly sweet. My friend, on their other hand, felt as if his smashed avocado was just whatever. I would say it's worth a try!

    I first tried Bambu in LA and was so excited to learn they were in VA too! Menu is the same but service at this location is waaay too slow. My go to is always the Fruit Addict Che. Che's are basically a Vietnamese take on a slushy! What makes them amazing are all the cool toppings and ad-ons! Most of them I've never heard of before, but they are mostly jellies in different shapes. I always ask for coconut milk instead of coconut water because I love the creaminess of it! I would recommend Bambu as a cool out of the ordinary dessert place.

    Thai tea (left) and traditional Vietnamese iced coffe (right) were pretty good

There was no visible matcha or brown sugar in the drink at all. Confused and hoping for a simple resolution, I spoke to an employee and explained that my drink didn't resemble what I ordered, and that this was the second time this has happened. He apologized and took the drink back. I waited and watched as the drink was supposedly remade, but instead, the employee whispered to another worker, who then poured brown sugar syrup into a new cup, dumped the original drink into it, and served it back to me immediately. At that point, I was very disappointed by the lack of care and honesty. I won't be returning after this experience.

The Chicken itself in the shawarma was a bit dry, but the combination of sauce, seasoning, and the afghan bread was really tasty, note that there is ALOT of black pepper.

There were fries, boiled eggs, and a sausage, along with a lot of black pepper once again, not sure if there was supposed to be a sauce but that might've helped the burger be a bit more tasty/less dry.

Found this place on one of the food delivery services and was pleased to see it was a short hop away (less than a mile south of Mosaic District). The menu is pretty condensed, but continues to evolve as this is a relatively new joint. That said, a small menu often times means each and every dish is excellent (jack of all trades, master of none)? I picked up the Cucumber Tuna Cup-bob, Cucumber Tuna Rolls, and Cucumber Kimchi. All were top notch - fresh, light (healthy feeling), with good flavor. Everything tasted original and the freshly prepared. The Cucumber Kimchi had a decent kick to it (spice), so beware if you're used to less spicy kimchi. The bonus and probably what sets them apart is their focus on quality ingredients (halal meat with korean food? unheard of!). I'd love to see them add an option for 100% grass fed beef as well. Overall, I'd take this place any day of the week over a similar bowl-spot (like Chipotle or Rasa. TL;DR: A fantastic fast-casual spot to pick up some healthy/light, yet flavorful meals.
