    Lots of vegan options to choose from here. We got a Thai iced tea, a Che thing and a mangonada. All three things were pretty good and unique! I like that they have a policy to remake anything you don't like. They use quality ingredients. Definitely will try more stuff here.

    Love this place! Our favorite to go drink is always the Vietnamese Che. #7 is our all time drink. But i try some others too. Pandan waffle is so good! Eat while warm. Not too good when it's cold, reheating does not do the job Service is great. The guy who helps me out is very friendly and usually suggests things I should try.

    They have the best smoothie and boba consistency and that's important for the taste buds. Service is always fast and efficient! Price is fairly reasonable! Their avocado smoothie is top tier for me.

    Love the fruit addict here! There are loads of fruits in this drink. I ordered no-sugar option, but 25% sugar tasted better. They had loads of vegan drink options which is absolutely amazing. The ingredient list includes the following - Lychee, longan, jackfruit, palm seed, red tapioca, agar-agar jello, pandan jelly, coconut & coconut milk. All the fruits tasted delicious. Agar-agar jello was the only one that I didn't like so much and would have totally replaced with jackfruit or longan. Overall a great place to explore Vietnamese dessert and I am going to return here to try out the waffles and the rest of the drinks in the menu.

    This is my go to place for che! Parking was easy there is a big lot for free, and no wait at all when ordering. I got the bamboo favorite, and it was not too sweet, jelly was fresh, and great taste overall. For the price, the portion is big, two people can definitely share it. The service was kind and fast, and there is a couple of tables inside for seating.

    I came to Bambū Dessert & Drinks for the first time this evening, Monday 15 May 2023, with my eye on trying a pandan waffle for the first time. The shared parking lot had spots available and I made my way to the store eagerly. Placing my order I decided I wanted to try a pandan waffle with durian. The worker asked if I had eaten durian before, which I had not, so she had me try a sample to make sure I was okay with it in the waffle. I was pleasantly surprised and kept my order the same. The wait was maybe about five minutes, the prices were $5.95 for the waffle and $2.50 for the durian pre-tax. With tax the total was $9.33 and I paid with a ten dollar bill, tipping my change. The durian came baked into the green pandan waffle. It had a texture that looked a bit liked mashed up bamboo shoots and a sweet flavor. My palate taste buds danced in a way that reminded me of trying lychee for the first time. The pandan waffle was texturally more on the chewy side and the waffle itself was cooked to a golden crispy perfection. I enjoyed the durian inclusion in the waffle, the sweet meaty flesh of the fruit paired well with the chewy and not as sweet flavor of the waffle.

    In terms of shaved ice it is pretty good but boba was mediocre. It is in a really convenient spot sandwiched in between Ranch 99 and T&T

    Honestly, you don't come here focused on their drinks since they specialize in che, but their drinks are not half bad. For a place that is most focused on the che and Vietnamese dessert, the boba was really chewy and actually had sweetness. It was flavorful and the tea was fine as well. Out of 10 the drinks were a 7 for me. It only helps more that they have such a wide selection of items to pick from (though usually more is usually spread out so items are lower quality, I don't think it's the case here). I haven't had the snow ice here, but at another location. I'm sure it's similar. Akin to bingsoo, it's more shaved ice (actual ice instead of shaved milk), but the flavor you pick will be very apparent from their syrup mix. You won't just be eating straight shaved ice that tastes like water, which I appreciate.

    We continue to come here for dessert! They have an extensive menu but we always seem to order the same things every time. S15. Taro Smoothie with boba and lychee jelly. 2. Bambu Combo

    Super fun stop while grocery shopping in North Seattle! I had the durian smoothie with Boba, and it was such a treat. It's super rare to find in any Boba shop. They do spealize in Vietnamese desserts, which I'll be sure to try next time. Prices are reasonable, and the staff was courteous and prompt. They did have boxes in the dining room I had to go around to find my seat. Must stop!

    Great spot for bubble tea and Vietnamese che! It's right next to the 99 Ranch market so it's convenient to go while you're out shopping and parking is always available! This Edmonds location isn't like the one in Chinatown so I was disappointed they didn't have the shaved ice here but they do have their signature pandan waffle. My go-to drink is the Bambu favorite. The red tapioca and pandan jelly is the best combo with just the right amount of crunchy and chewy texture. They also allow you to customize the sugar level. I recommend bringing cash for orders under $10 otherwise there is a 50 cent charge for credit cards. The service is really quick though. I ordered a che drink and it was out within a few minutes.

    I've tried a lot of banh mi spots in California, and this place easily compares to some of the best…read morespots in the San Gabriel Valley. First off, the variety is impressive. They have a wide range of banh mi fillings, from the classics to some harder to find options like roast pork, so there's something for everyone. My personal favorite is the crispy roast pork banh mi. The pork has that perfect crackly skin with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. Paired with the pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, and a light spread of mayo on a crusty baguette, it hits all the right textures and flavors. I also love the special banh mi with all the different meats. It's basically the greatest hits lineup with savory cold cuts, pâté, and other cured meats layered together for a rich, satisfying bite every time. It's hearty without being overwhelming, and the balance of fresh and savory components is spot on. And don't skip the drinks. The egg coffee was surprisingly excellent. The Vietnamese coffee base had a deep, bold flavor with that classic slightly bitter edge, and the creamy whipped egg topping added a smooth, lightly sweet contrast. It felt indulgent but still very coffee forward. Overall, this is a great banh mi spot for me with the great variety, tasty sandwiches, and a standout egg coffee to round it all out. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for a quality banh mi.

    A great variety of viet dishes you may not be able to find elsewhere!…read more My partner and I chose this place because we were craving soup to help with the cold. We ended up choosing a place close and were not disappointed at all. This restaurant is located off a busy street but it luckily offers a parking lot which can be hard to come by in Seattle. Because we came on the earlier side, we were seated quite quickly :) The space is pretty large so I don't think I would worry about a wait on a weekday. We were very impressed by the options provided. I usually don't find Bun Bo Hue on the menu often which is what my partner ended up ordering. I ordered the Bun rieu which is even harder to come by. We also ordered the crispy butter garlic wings to share which was a perfect choice. The service was very fast and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our stuff came out after placing our order. The portions were also HUGE and we both had enough to take home for a second meal. The Bun rieu was super tomatoey and had a rich flavor which the crab. My mom makes Bun rieu at home and I was very much happy with this bowl too, reminded me a lot of how my mom makes it! The Bun Bo Hue was not super spicy but we appreciated being able to customize. The garlic wings were SOOOO good. So crispy and seasoned so well, we would 100% get these again they were so good. We left very full, warm, and satisfied with this pick. We likely will be back in the near future!
