    Coconut Mocha Blend
    Miranda M.

    Amazing service. Tasty drinks. And I love that I could order on the kiosk so I could make me own edits.

    I'm so glad Bambu is in the area for my Vietnamese dessert cravings. Their che is always fresh. I ordered #2 without boba, with shaved ice on the side, as well as #4 for my husband. #2 comes with red beans and white beans that are cooked until they are soft, a large scoop of tảo paste, rainbow jelly, and mung bean. It tastes best with lots of ice! I had a couple of bites of the #4, which comes with grass jelly, pandan jelly, the red jelly/seeds, and mung bean. The egg coffee has an egg foam layer that is quite thick and doesn't have a fake egg taste unlike some other places. The coffee is also really strong. Despite all the ice melting, it was still strong the next day, such that I will have this for at least a second day! There are so many dessert options, and I remember the pandan waffle being pretty good. Service was very friendly. They have plenty of indoor seating, and I was so happy to see they are getting a lot of business. It's very clean. Overall, I highly recommend Bambu!

    We came here with my family and ordered a mango smoothie, matcha, and chè bambu special! They were delish! I forgot to take pictures of the drinks, but they're good. The service is quick and friendly. We ordered through the little kiosk since we're using a card. They take cash over the register. The place is pretty spacious and clean. Coming back again.

    Came here as the Bambu on Stockton blvd was already closed. Saw that they have a special that the other place didn't have: mango halo halo. I decided to get their mango halo halo for $10 and their pandan waffle. I wouldn't really call this halo halo, it's just Vietnamese chè with mango ice cream. The waffle was just okay. You can only order with the cashier if you have cash, otherwise you have to order through the kiosk. Overall, I do prefer the Stockton location more as it's cheaper.

    I LOVE BAMBU and specifically ELK GROVE! Why you must wonder?? Because they have AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL DAY EVERYDAY! I USED to go to the location closer to me in South Sac on Stockton Blvd but their customer service is TERRIBLE! Always unhappy miserable taking my orders but NOT AT ELK GROVE BAMBU! Everytime I walk in, I am acknowledged! Which is key in customer service! Very kind people working there! Very clean establishment as well! They have a point rewards too! My go to is their chocolate smoothie!! Ohhhh it's so goood and you can adjust your sweetness levels! Also their Thai Tea and ice coffees are top tier!!

    Has a variety of drinks including juices, milk teas, boba, and Vietnamese dessert drinks. What sets them apart from other tea shops are the Vietnamese dessert drinks (Che). Not as common as boba. All of their drinks were refreshing. My friends enjoyed their Che while I had the Lychee Refresher. Plenty of parking available.

    Lychee Refresher, Coconut Combo, Awesome Trio which

    Went with some friends for an afternoon snack on a sunny winter day. I had the #11 coconut combo and it is definitely coconut-ty. I enjoyed it. Very refreshing. I have also tried the #3 Awesome Trio which has coconut milk. It is a little heavier than the #11 and has beans. Both are really good. My friend had the lychee refresher and she liked the lighter drink.

    I've been coming here for their ube & mango halo halo for a very very long time at least twice a month, but I'm so disappointed & upset with my experience today. I stopped in around 3ish on a Saturday. They now want you to pay at the kiosk if you're paying via credit card & there is a service charge. You can pay cash at the register but I didn't have any cash on me. I placed my order and watched 3 customers that placed their order well after me quickly receive their orders while I continued to wait for my 2 drinks. Finally, after the 3rd customer who ordered after I did, i finally asked about my order. They were still working on it. I don't believe my order was any harder to make than the blended strawberry smoothie with boba that was ordered well after me. I must've waited almost 20mins for my order and it wasn't even busy. I should've asked sooner but I never had to ask from all my previous visits. When I finally received my order, I had to ask if the ube ice cream was in it because I could barely see the ice cream. My scoop of ice cream was much much smaller than usual.

    I love ché and this is definitely my go to place. Staff is always friendly and helps answer any questions I have about the menu. It's a great place to hang out. I'm still trying to figure out which one is my favorite so I'll keep trying them all until I find out!

    We came here in the afternoon. We love coming here. Brian & another lady worker suggested the coconut coffee Coconut Mocha blended with real coconut on top. Yum. Super good. We also got Vietnamese coffee & a Pandan waffle. Super tasty. Waffle has a crunchy texture on outside & chewy middle. Good snack!! We also had the Popcorn chicken & spicy fries with a free drink. Passion fruit refresher!!! We always enjoyed coming here!!! ;)

    Bambu is one of my favorite places for my Vietnamese dessert drink fixes! The taste and quality of ingredients are good every time! Service is quick and efficient and plenty of seating if you want to sit and enjoy your treats!

    #7 Taro Lover
    Susan B.

    First time at this location. They have a bit more options than the Stockton Blvd location. I ordered #7 taro lover and a large taro coconut smoothie. The taro from the taro lover was a bit hard. Because it was a bit hard, it was hard to mix/blend together with the coconut milk with the spoon. Pandan jelly was a bit hard as well. Taro coconut smoothie was good. Service was quick since it wasn't busy. Place was clean. There are tables and chairs available for customers.

    Came on a Friday night, fairly empty seating, ordered 3 drinks. It took them 30+ minutes to get us the order. They were sending orders out (that were 1-2 drinks) every 5-6 minutes. I'm not sure what is happening, but this is not normal.

    Food: 3.8 Service: 4.0…read more Updated visit 4/17: last minute Friday night date with the wifey because if I had to cook we would have eaten around 8pm. Always greeted at the door and pick your own seat, super easy! They take your drink order if you don't want water; note they have a boba/smoothie set-up too which my wife always grabs an avocado smoothie. Lately wife orders the fried crispy noodle combo (aka: bird's nest), and then a Phô bowl and of course A5: pork & shrimp spring roll. Servers check on you frequently for refills or anything you might need or just raise your hand and they'll come over. Pay at the desk. No frills no thrills and food is "Asian" comfort food especially when you don't want to cook.

The menu had a bit too much going on and in my opinion -- restaurants should have a speciality rather than offer so many items because taste and quality loses itself somewhere in the middle of 100 different menu options. I know my partner and I are pho snobs but what we had wasn't even pho. The broth was basically hot water with a tad of salt or chicken bouillon. There were no hints of star anise, cinnamon (often referred to as Saigon cinnamon), cloves, black cardamom, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds -- nada. And the noodles were way too overcooked making my dish so difficult to eat. I ordered pho and it looked like pho -- but it tasted nothing close to it. I need to share that as a reality to the owner and staff so they can make changes to the quality of their food -- otherwise, I don't know if this place will survive the competition. Also, I observed a staff member behind the counter blending a smoothie of some sort, tasting it with a spoon, and then putting back said spoon into the smoothie to stir before pouring it into a cup (and I saw the cup delivered to a party a few tables down from us). That probably isn't very hygienic and it's sad to see that's how things are handled behind the scenes here. I just happened to look over from our table and was pretty disgusted. Moving on, I hope these guys shape up because the quality and taste of food was actually bad. And, I can rarely say that about restaurants I patronize because I love supporting local small businesses. Best of luck to these guys.

    One of my favorite local spots in Wilton for authentic Vietnamese cuisine…read more Their egg rolls stand out immediately, the wrapper is incredibly crispy and flavorful, which is something not every Vietnamese restaurant offers. The filet mignon pho is another signature dish that keeps me coming back. The meat is consistently tender, soft, and high quality, making it hard to order anything else. The Bun Bo Hue is rich, flavorful, and well balanced, with a very generous portion of meat. You can really tell they take pride in both the quality and consistency of their food. For our area, we're truly fortunate to have a restaurant serving food of this quality locally.

I ordered crispy rocket shrimp and a banh mi sandwich with chicken. If I knew that the sandwich would be so big, I would've split it with my daughter. I actually got her own banh mi too. I dont know about her but I couldn't finish mine. Large pieces of chicken and the right amount of flavor. We'll definitely have to come back and try other items on the menu.

The stuff I normally order was not of the same quality. Idk if it's just a different cook or what was going on. The tamarind wings, the wings were oddly shaped and looked like wings were chopped in half or in pieces. No wings, a few drumsticks and some odd nugget sized pieces. This was the first time it has ever been like this. We always order the glass noodles and this time, we did not find little crab chunks like we have in the past. Maybe it was an oversight or forgotten? Flavor was still there but definitely not of the same quality. The Bo Ne was still yummy. Now, the bo tai chanh was so good before, this time there was barely any beef. For the price, and the name of the dish, I expect it to be a lot of beef or at least a decent amount. Instead we got a ton of pickled veggies and onions piled into a mound with some slices of beef hidden in there somewhere. I ate mostly pickled veggies. I am not sure what happened this visit but I couldn't help but feel like cost was being cut or something. The service is slowwwww but not bad at all. The servers get a pass cause they are very nice lol The lemon in our water was discolored/brown skin so we didn't drink it but thankfully I brought my own water.

What really made this place 3 stars was their egg rolls. I love egg rolls. But the one served to us either had spoiled meat, old meat or was freezer burnt. Whatever it was, it tasted so bad I did not finish it. It had a really off putting fried spoiled meat taste AND smell. And was really oily. Thinking about it makes my stomach churn.

The restaurant was clean and parking on a weeknight was easy. If I do come back, I'll go get my usual go to of rice plates. Would've given them 4 stars if not for the spoiled egg rolls.

I've grown accustomed to somewhat questionable produce served with my pho. - Banh mi with grilled pork: a good banh mi. The bread is excellent. The pork is tasty. The produce is fresh. Thumbs up. - egg rolls: these are unlike any egg roll I've ever had. The outside is a lattice of crispy rice goodness. And the inside has a yummy grilled flavor to the pork. When I got this as an appetizer though, it was sitting in an unpleasant puddle of oil (like they should've let it drain off before plating it). They also serve these with some of the bun dishes.

Those who tried it commented that the shrimp was seasoned and not just blanched.

Over half came home with me for tomorrow's lunch. I inquired what the pickled jalapeño and garlic condiment was supposed to be used for as I also saw this at another pho restaurant we tried in Elk Grove. The server said any dish! Pho Bistro is located in an older strip mall with lots of parking which is a plus. Although the menu is not extensive, I would like to return to try other dishes in this casual restaurant. I loved that several servers stopped by our table to check on us. Support local small business and give Pho Bistro a try! Don't forget to tip generously! The Lychee lemonade and Thai Tea were both refreshing and enjoyed on this humid day! Sorry, forgot to snap a pic.

Then while we were eating another worker was mopping the floors all around us, and she actually bumped into me twice with her elbow, that's how close she was. Maybe don't mop the lobby while folks are eating. All that on top of seeing the person making food grab a broom with gloved hands that then prepared sandwiches without changing gloves or washing hands made me decide never to come back again.
