Number 6, Enough said.. service is fast, great selection of desserts, lots of parking and clean and updated interior.highly

Got my pennywort and mung bean fixed. Small place but it's totally fine for a quick drink and snack. Easy hang out for something lowkey. This place was hard to find because it doesn't show up as bambu but the full bambu dessert name. Service was quick and nice. read more

ive gotten BAMBU five times within the past 2 weeks. such an underrated Vietnamese dessert. 16oz cup was around $8-$9 and the cup is filled all the way. u can ask for the ice in the cup or in a baggy on the side. the bambu special comes with grass jelly/red tapioca rubies/pandan jelly in sweetened coconut milk. overall not too sweet + the ice can mellow it out. i loved the equal ratios among the three toppings. served with both a straw and a spoon but i like to sip it with the straw! fast service. accept cash and card. plentiful seating inside that is always clean. easy parking everyday. rarely busy ever throughout the day. read more

Bambu Dessert & Drinks - 10. Bambu Favorite (Hat Luu Suong Sao Banh Lot) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Milpitas, California

Ordered 3 large combo che. They changed some ingredients, from using red bean to red kidney bean which totally change the taste of the dessert, maybe to save them a few dollars. That tells me that they don't care about customers' experience. Also, the banh lot in the che is chewy, which shouldn't be. We don't enjoy their che anymore so we won't be back. read more

I haven't had che for a while so I sent hubby here to get me a drink. I ordered Bambu Special #1 (substitute coconut with grass jelly & half sugar) and a pandan waffle. The drink was delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. As for the pandan waffle, it got soggy by the time hubby got home but that's not the store's fault. The flavor was good and I loved the texture of the waffle. read more

Taro dessert 5/5 - this was so good! I don't think it's a traditional viet dessert but it was good. I like that the taro is real taro and not just powder. It is a little expensive for viet dessert but it's pretty big and more than enough for two people to share. read more

A refreshing desert and snack with the taste of Vietman. Something different and bring out the favorite of Vietman. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Parking is feasible. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean and ok. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are average . 5) Type of desert standard : ( 4 point) - The style of desert they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in Vietman . Not bad! But some desert did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars read more

First time having Che as well as the many ingredients in the drink. Came on a weekday and there wasn't that many people so was able to get our drink quickly. I can't really tell the difference between Bambu Favorite and Fruit Addict drinks that I got, so I'll just be describing my more favorite ingredients. First time having jackfruit and it's kind of similar to mango, not all that bad. One of the drinks had whole coconut and lychee in it which I was very surprised. My favorite part of both drinks though was definitely the pandan jelly and lychee jelly which had such a strong flavor to it. Che is like boba but upgraded, one drink will most definitely fill you up. Overall, okay experience. Che is kind of what you expect, coconut milk with a bunch of ingredients inside it. I think if you are a boba fan, would definitely recommend checking this out, but don't think this will replace my boba craving any time soon. read more

If you come an hour before closing. They will ran out mostly of whatever you order there. Service is not what it used to be.

Love their combination yogurt drink. Its sweet and tangy and full of fruit bits. They don't skimp out on the fruits which is why this is my go to drink. Its easy to order and they make it fast. Since its a small store They only have a few tables inside. Parking can be a hassle but we can somehow manage. read more

Made a big order with tips as well, but when asked for a small plastic bag to carry my desert drinks, I was told it would cost 10 cents. My patronage isn't appreciated. Thumbs down!! I likely won't come again read more

Must I say more they had durian smoothie that actually had chunks of durian in it. Since that is my favorite fruit this place is a must return for me. Staff is also great. Place is a bit small but my date and I were still able to enjoy our conversation and drinks. Staff speak both english and Vietnamese so it gave me a chance to practice my Vietnamese. read more

Haven't been to Bambu in a long time and can't wait to go back when I'm craving some che again. Ventured over on my lunch break when I was running errands, and the lady taking my order was super friendly. She checked if I wanted the ice packed with or separately. Good reminder for when the weather is warmer to order a few extra and get the ice packed separately to enjoy later. The store is quite small so I waited outside when I saw another customer approaching. Took a quick phone call, and when I looked up, my order was ready. It was inconvenient to eat with a spoon while I was working, so I only used the straw. Thus, there was some taro and bean medley left over. I poured some oat milk in and it surprisingly was yummy that way too. At $4.75 it is a reasonable price point for tastiness and satiety. read more

This Bambu is one of my favorite location. I always receive fast and great service every time I stop by. My go to order is their Che ba mau. I love that they also service it with ice on the side especially if they know if you are not going to eat it right away. Can't wait to stop by again. read more

I feel like this location isn't quite up to par with the other ones :( Last time we came here they put so many toppings and not enough drink, my bf also found a hair in his drink. This time was better, the drink and topping ratio was perfect! My top 2 drinks are the bambu special and bambu favorite. The bambu special is good if you want something refreshing, it has chia seeds and coconut strips! The bambu favorite is so good if you want something a little more milky / heavier! It has fake "pomegranate seeds", pandan jelly and grass jelly. read more

The chè 3 màu is a bomb everything here is an amazing goodď! I love to eat their dessert !

I had a very pleasant experience with the lady that was more than happy to make my coffee with coconut milk because of my lactose intolerance and allergies. The next day, I went to order the same drink but the clerk this time was a younger one and refused to make the coffee with coconut milks for some reason not doing her job properly. After taking a sip of the coffee she made with milk, the reviewer almost died of a skin rash and had thrown the coffee on the ground after explaining to her that if she does not listen to what people orders in detail people will die from her not making drinks properly due to allergies. The reviewer requested for either a refund or to have the girl make the drink with coconut milk and the clerk girl refused so the reviewer is now writing this glowing report. Luckily the reviewer did not have to use her epi pen!! The reviewer would like to recommend this place only if the Nana that owns the place is the one making the drinks but the young girl that was just a clerk is inexperienced, and that had the reviewer so livid that we cannot recommend this place at all until they redeem themselves to know how to listen to customers who have allergies. Please accept payment via card with the other products. Some of us do not want to touch cash. read more

I haven't been here in years! I was craving an avocado smoothie so bad. I'm pretty picky with things being too sweet so I was really hoping they would make it how I liked. I subbed dairy for coconut milk and it added a nice flavor. I told the lady that I wanted it less sweet and she made it exactly how I was hoping! My boyfriend loved his taro smoothie, he drank half of it before we even got home. Shoutout to them for not skimping either. They filled it up all the way! They have a pretty big menu so I'm excited to come back & try their other drinks. read more

Always been a fan of this place. Whereever the location might be. Smashed Avacado Is the BEST drink ull ever have. I always try to go there to try some new drink but i love dis so much that i end up drinking dis. bambu Special is good too but on the sweeter side. Hazelnut mocha is good too Avacado Coffee is awesome Dont miss it read more

Whenever I'm feeling in need for some refreshing, authentic Vietnamese milk tea, Bambu is my absolute GO TO spot. I've been to quite a few of their location but something about the park Victoria one always has me coming back! It could be the wonderful customer service or the super sweet owner who is often there. The location- is prime near some of my favorite grocery stores so it has always been very convenient for me to stop by after running Errands. There is usually open parking right on the corner close to the shop itself. The variety- there are so many options and tea to choose from!! Some of my personal favorites are the avocado smoothie, oolong with salty cream, and definitely the Vietnamese coffee. Everything always tastes so fresh cause they use real tea. If you're used to fake sugary syrup milk tea then bambu will be very different. Snacks- they have all the Asian snacks (yummy dried shredded pork & more) that I grew up eating at the register so it's hard to not over indulge sometimes but in the very best way possible. Another favorite of mine is the pandan green waffle which is made to order. For me it's the perfect sweetness and always made to order which is a plus. Overall I highly recommend stopping by this spot!! read more

Wow, I don't know why I had never set my foot in here before as a VIETNAMESE person. Their che is so bomb!!! San Jose is blessed to have this franchise everywhere unlike LA where I think we have just one location in Panorama City. I got the Bambu Favorite which is a nice refreshing drink with coconut juice, basil seeds, pandan jelly, and coconut chunks! This was sweet, but not overpowering like their Che 3 Mau. My boyfriend got the Bo Dam (Smashed Avocado) which was also delicious was well. Definitely, this che was more sweet than Bambu Favorite as there was more condensed milk added. This drink has avocado, coffee jelly, and other colorful jellies. Sorry, I don't know all of the exact ingredients, but they're all bomb! You can adjust the sweetness on their drinks too. They have great service and honored my 10% coupon hehe. Female cashier was nice enough to share me the wifi as well since my boyfriend and I were doing work there. ***Tip: BRING CASH!!!*** read more

There only seems to be 2 remaining Bambu's left standing in the Bay Area, which in my opinion is a shame. Bambu provides authentic, reasonably priced Vietnamese desserts and dessert drinks. Several locations around the Bay seem to have closed almost simultaneously, as if there was a franchise dispute, however this is only my personal speculation. This particular location located in Milpitas on South Park Victoria Drive shares a parking lot with several other shops so parking should not be an issue. This is a small shop so it's really designed to grab and go, especially as things stand in 2021 thus far. My favorite dessert drink here is their #12(Green Bean Jelly) which has green beans, pandan jelly, and grass jelly in coconut milk. I have been consistently ordering this drink for countless years now. For the time being, they are offering Taro waffles and they are crispy on the outside, mochi chewy like in the center, and the taro flavor is perfectly balanced. read more

I'm sad to say that there seems to be only two Bambu's left standing(as of this review) in the South Bay. There are two Bambu's in the Peninsula but I would not recommend you go out of your way to go to those unless you're desperate, mostly because you pay more for less quantity at these two Peninsula locations and if you're used to what you get at the former South Bay locations then you will be disappointed as I have been many many times before, even though I still go because there are just no good alternatives in the Peninsula for Che desserts. I came to the Milpitas(South Park Victoria Drive) location this past weekend to order my usual #1-Bambu Special(Fresh coconut, pandan jelly, longan, basil seeds, in coconut water) and I noticed they had a new menu offering of Taro Waffles which I decided to give it a try because I love most anything with Taro. The Bambu Special dessert drink was full of ingredients and as good as I remember from all of my other South Bay trips to Bambu. The real news is I was blown away by the Taro Waffle, which had a chewy mochi center and a crispy outside. It was so delicious, I almost couldn't believe I was eating this treat. It's a shame that all of the other South Bay locations(except for Sunnyvale) seem to be permanently closed. I can only speculate that there was some kind of licensing dispute with the franchise owner(s). At least, I can occasionally make my way all the way to Milpitas for my sweet treats. read more

We just finished a 5.5 mile hike and the boyfriend wanted a drink. I didn't really so he wanted to get to a Bambu as he's been craving a Bo Dam for a while. Off we went to this location as the other one on Hostetter was the parking location site where his car got broken into (in the middle of dinner time in the pouring rain) and that still haunts him. L O C A T I O N We didn't realize this Bambu existed as it's not in a plaza that we've ever visited. It's a tiny one off of S Park Victoria. Parking is fairly limited but there's not many establishments there that are popular. I N T E R I O R Inside the spot is also small, modern and clean. I do appreciate the menu item photos on the wall that are artistically laid out. M E N U The menu is pretty standard to all the other Bambu. What was nice are the cups displayed for toppings behind the glass. They basically serve Vietnamese che aka dessert shaved ice on top of jellies, beans, etc with coconut milk. S E R V I C E The person at the cashier was the person also serving our drink. She was okay. Not very enthused but hey, it's a Monday afternoon. They also have Five Star which is convenient. But downside was the big sign saying "Cash Only." O V E R A L L The drink we got was okay. The Bo Dam had fairly large avocado pieces which were inconvenient to drink. For something to be a smashed avocado drink, it wasn't smashed enough. The place is convenient enough if we have a che craving. read more

My favorite place for Vietnamese dessert drinks! I recently started getting the fruity one that has jack fruit, coconut, lychee, etc. But I usually just like it with coconut milk and the red tapioca. The red tapioca is actually just water chestnut in tapioca starch. It is my favorite :) I make it a point to always stop and get a drink if I am near a Bambu. I don't live very close to one so it is my special treat to myself. Their Vietnamese coffee, yogurt smoothies and avocado smoothie is really good too. I definitely recommend this place. read more

$8 plus tip for a 16 oz drink?!?!? What a rip off. That's why this franchise has gone down the drain. They expect people to pay $8 for this?!?!?! No larger options, can not use your five star rewards because they do not upsize. I don't think I will be coming back. read more

I really like Bambu, haven't been to this location before. Ordered #3 combination che which comes with beans, pandan, and taro, no sugar.

Stopped by at Bambu for some unnecessary dessert. I really shouldn't have, but I'm so glad that I did. LMAO. The establishment sits in the very far corner of a strip of shops and parking isn't bad. There are spots located in front of the business and off to the side. This Bambu is pretty small in comparison to other locations but does the job. We came into a completely dead joint but I'm not going to complain that there wasn't a line. The girl at the register was prompt, friendly, and very efficient. Drinks are alright but the Vietnamese desserts are delicious. My must haves: -Bambu Special (fresh coconut juice, longan, basil seed, coconut flesh, & pandan jelly) -Smashed Avocado (fresh avocado, assortment of jelly, condensed milk, & pearls -but I normally exclude item) -Fruit Addict (jello chunks, lychee fruit, longan fruit, jackfruit, palm seed, red tapioca, coconut flesh, pandan jelly, & coconut milk) -Awesome Trio/Che 3 Mau (coconut milk, red beans, white beans, mung beans, taro, & pandan jelly) FYI- you are more than welcome to customize your very own concoction. Mix and match or even remove the items you are not fond of. Hands down, the BEST Bambu location i've been to. YES, it's even better than the (original) Hostetter location @ least when it comes to customer service!! read more
