    Pandan Mochi Waffle
    Xoxo _.

    We came in for Nho Kitchen, but had also ordered the Pandan Mochi Waffle. The wait for our waffle was quite long--we had to remind the waiter, and only then, our waffle came out. The Pandan Mochi Waffle was not soft. The texture of the waffle was hard and crusty, and not chewy at all. With this, we were expecting the waffle to have a softer texture and more chewy. However it was not pleasant to eat as the waffle was hard. This mochi waffle lacked many textures and is not the very best. I would not come back for this mochi waffle.

    Great Vietnamese coffee with almond milk, coffee jelly & boba!

    11/12/24 Getting lunch! Shrimp spring rolls ordered with an extra peanut sauce and two chicken pho ordered. Worker was kind and said it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I went to try it shortly later. I asked the worker since Nho is there and he said they "collaborate" with Nho Kitchen. Obviously, that means I need to get a Boba drink too! Lol! Ordered the Vietnamese coffee with almond milk and coffee jelly too. They were very VERY busy. Paid for it and waited for the drink and rest of lunch to be ready. A little more waiting drink was given and I asked the worker for an extra cup and straw. He had no problem getting it for me. Appreciated! Got all of order sent left as the line got even longer! Vietnamese boba coffee split! My half was Great! Tasty boba & Great flavor! Mother said her half was Great too! Lunchtime! Chicken Pho was Really Fresh and DELICIOUS! Love that they include hot chili sauce & sriracha sauce to spice it up! Makes it even better! Shrimp spring roll with peanut sauce was Really GREAT too! Mother felt the same! One order is A LOT! Full to the max & lots of leftovers for both! Great service, Great Boba drink & GREAT lunch! Highly recommended!

    This place has the best fresh fruit durian smoothie!!! It was a bit sweet but the blended creamy smooth durian shake was to die for!!! Yes. I drank all of it when I usually only take a couple of sips. The whole restaurant was so busy since they were so many customers. It was pretty loud in there since the place was packed. Anyhow. Back to the durian smoothie. Glad it was real fruit and well blended. I didn't see the separation of ice and other ingredients like many other drinks. Even after a while it was all still blended together. I'll make sure to stop by again when I come back.

    This review is only for the two drinks I tried there (at different times). 1. Hot Vietnamese coffee to go: it was okay. I remember thinking it was small for the price. 2. Bambu Special: following the positive reviews about that drink, I decided to try it. It's a refreshing drink. They place the different ingredients at the bottom of the cup, and add a giant scoop of shaved ice on top. As of 12/2024, that drink is about $10.00ish, including tax. I paid cash to avoid paying the 3% fee they charge to use a credit card. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I'll go back for more. If you're looking for a cold or hot drink, this place is about as good as others.

    I absolutely LOVE Bambu! Located in the back of the Mayfair Center with Nho Kitchen, you can either order your drink at the register or order from the servers while enjoying a bowl of pho. I usually get the Bambu Special or the Three Color Bean Dessert. There's something special about Bambu's drinks. They can blend many flavors and textures to make the drink interesting throughout your experience. Plus that shaved ice always hits. With the Bambu Special, you get coconut juice, coconut meat, chia seeds, grass jelly, and lychee. The combination of everything is so refreshing without being too overly sweet. Also, the texture of the drink is amazing! The drinks ARE a little on the pricier side: $7-$8 per drink (compared to a $6 Starbucks Frappuccino). However, the quality of these drinks makes it worth it!

    If you're looking for some authentic Vietnamese cold dessert, check out Bambu. This yummy treat has all kinds of different fruits, like jackfruit to basil seeds and jelly. Most of not all the menu items for this dessert called "Che" in Vietnamese have sweetener added and coconut milk to it. It's so delicious and topped off with ice. Drinkable but definitely something you spoon and eat.My husband got the taro Che and he really enjoyed it. I really wanted something with jackfruit so I got the number 7 and it was just the one I was craving for. Our wait time was about 10 mins, and Bambu is inside a restaurant that serves Vietnamese food. It can get quite busy during lunch hour. There is public restrooms for customers and outdoor patio seating as well.

    I don't know if I got the incorrect drink or what. I didn't like it. Maybe I need to give the another try. I ordered the Bambú special and my daughter got the chamando. My drink was a fail for me. It did t have no taste. It was plain. Maybe it was healthy but no flavor. If you go for the first time don't get the Bambú try a different drink. My daughter's drink tasted different the. Other places. It gave me the taste as if they used powder mango or something. It didn't taste real mango. Also no flavor. Maybe our preparer was new I don't know but we didn't like the drinks. Like I say. I need to give them another try with different drinks. Since I have been at Duffy places I know what a good drink taste. Sorry !!

    This was my first time having Bambu since college. My boyfriend and I tried the bamboo favorite. It had red tapioca, grass jelly, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. It was unlike anything I've had before, but in a good way. I enjoyed the grass jelly (had pudding consistency) and red tapioca (similar to boba), but the pandan jelly was a bit too chewy for me. It was like a slightly softer gummy worm. This drink had a lot going on with multiple toppings, so if I ordered it again, I'd skip the pandan jelly. I would return if I was in the area and craving a sweet drink.

    Sunday, 4/11/2021 - Tried Bambu in Fresno, CA. Plenty of parking. Pros: 1) There was minimal seating outside and lots of seating inside. We didn't eat here. But we order some drinks to go. 2) Our drinks took quite some time to come. But once it did, I liked that all of our drinks weren't overly sweet and all was pretty good. 3) I ordered the Che Dessert drink: "Smashed Avacado" for $7.00. Cons: 1) on this date when we were here, the sweet drink menu on their counter didn't match what was on the big screen behind the counter. It was lower on the counter top menu. This was confusing. Conclusion: I'd go here again.

    Very ghetto area, but very nice interior with good customer service. Came here to treat my dad early in the morning and was surprised that it was behind all the other shops. The inside was very spacious and clean, I liked how they decorated the place. The staff attended to us quickly and always made sure to check up on us if we needed anything. I ordered pho while my dad ordered rice porridge. My dad said he loved the broth for his porridge but the amount of rice he got was poor. My pho had good broth too, but the noodles were hard. They didn't have a variety of condiments either. My parents like the drinks here, I don't care for them since I had a rough experience in San Jose. Overall good service, alright food.

    Coming up from Fremont, this place offer the best pho. Ox tail, meat, and tendon and noodles for very reasonable price. I only ordered a regular and it was so much, I couldn't finish it. I would definitely come back again, if we ever go back to Fresno.

    All hail bambu!! (#10)

    #10 Che is always my to go, they wrap it in Saran Wrap so it doesn't spill which is a kind gesture. The place was so aromatic, will definitely be back to try the food.

    I was at the car wash next door and didn't feel like sitting around waiting so walked over a bit to the plaza to see what was over there. I saw the sign for this place and thought I'd stop in for a coffee. It's a cute little shop! The other half of the restaurant is a pho restaurant. I haven't been to this plaza in a long time so I was surprised to find this place hidden in the back. I ordered an iced salted cream (I think) coffee. It was really pretty when I got it. All the cream sits on top. I took a sip and woah! It was strong! I should have known since it is Vietnamese espresso. Still very good once everything is mixed. Service was quick and friendly. I would have liked more chairs and tables for the "cafe" part of the establishment. There were two little ones, but it was directly in the sun, so I left. The food looked amazing as well. I will definitely be back to try the pho and other other offerings. It was just a quick visit today.

    Came here solely for the viral fruit dessert thingy. I used to come here all the time for boba but…read moreit's kind of out of the way for me now. They were both good but honestly very sweet. If you have a sweet tooth this here is for you. I prefer the mango flavor over the strawberry. The strawberry was kind of artificial tasting. It's mousse filing with a crunchy chocolate shell? I think it's chocolate. Both are very beautiful. Very aesthetically pleasing. But a tad bit expensive. The prices range from $12-$15. I get it, it's a time consuming dessert. I'd probably never get it again but I'm glad I got to try it. Overall, I give them 3/5 for the dessert.

    Hot and new item! They have the crunchy pastry that comes in different flavors! I got to try the…read moremango and blueberry one. Okay first, the pastry is absolutely beautiful to look it and really well paid. No cracks, perfect crust. The crunchy pastry is light and airy, not too sweet, made with real fruits, creamy center, kept cold, and sits on a cookie. My favorite out of the two I tried was the mango crunchy pastry. The creamy center paired sooo nicely with the mango pieces and puree. Each bite was pretty incredible. My blueberry was so cute on the outside. Again, the filling inside was delectable, and creamy filling. Totally recommend giving this new item a try. Other stores have made this type of pastry, but Sweet Lyfe is my favorite thus far. I also got a purple earl grey and I loved it. It's a nice combo, definitely something I would order again. Service was good, the gal was patient with helping me with my order. They also sell cute glass cups you can put your order in. Will be coming back to try other flavors of the crunchy pastry.

    I've been to Supri a few times now, and they are always such a "joy" to visit! (If you go, you'll…read moreknow why "joy" is in quotes!!) First of all, this cafe is beautiful! I love the red accents all over, and they keep it very clean and simple in the store with lots of brown and beige tones to compliment the red, plus nice hanging lights and wall lamps, and a few colorful photos here and there (including a TV that acts like a picture frame). They also have cute little quotes and it just seems like the theme is very much brightness and positivity. As for the service, it's an 11/10! I believe the owner took my drink order and if you sign up for their app, the first drink is on them - so of course I did! The service was fast, and they even bring the drink to your table with a smile. I also ordered later and my food was well-prepared and presented and super yummy! I got a matcha latte with Biscoff cream top, and it was delicious! I'm such a sucker for Biscoff so definitely a win. I also got the avocado egg toast and it was also so filling. Love balsamic glaze! And most importantly!! They even brought me a pastry--ON THE HOUSE! I believe it's an almond cookie, how sweet! I was doing work while here, and the spaciousness makes it easy to focus and work. Free wifi and plenty of seats. Not to mention, parking is super easy. You have to come by!
