Came here for the first time. They have a lot of unique Vietnamese and Filipino type of drinks. I don't know why my wife came here only to buy a boba milk tea lol. It was nothing special, but still pretty good. It was pricier than most boba places. Staff are friendly and fast. Lots of tables to chill at. Lots of parking as well. read more

I always have to hit Bambu, when I go and get mochinuts, after dinner they're an unbeatable team. For dessert. I love to get the Ube To Go with my hot mochinut . But there are so many choices to make, and do you get jelly or Boba or one of the snacks they have there. Always a fun decision. The people at the Front are very helpful when trying to make that decision so always ask. read more

If you love coffee and boba this is THE drink to order! I got a salted caramel Vietnamese coffee with boba. The salted caramel foam is beyond delicious. It's not airy foam it's more like a crème brûlée type cream. The coffee is not super bitter it's strong yet perfectly sweet. The boba is sweet and chewy read more

I love this place, their boba teas are hands down, some of the best in the metroplex. If the quality were subpar, I would have an issue with the cost, but you get every bit of what you pay for and some. What I like most about Bambu is, they use fresh ingredients and not powders. Their Avocado Smash is, fantastic! There's plenty of avocado, it's not too sweet, and the freshness you can taste with each sip. I would be in trouble if they were closer, thankfully for my wallet, they are not. Customer service is always positive and willing to help when it comes to making suggestions, she was a doll. The space was very clean and well-kept. If you are a Boba or smoothie person, please give them a try! read more

Tried Bambu and went with two drinks: Halo Halo Ube and their #1 Special. Halo Halo Ube Creamy, refreshing, and loaded with toppings. The ube whipped cream on top was the highlight--rich but not too sweet. All the mix-ins at the bottom had good texture and didn't taste canned like some places. #1 Special This one was lighter and more refreshing. The pandan jelly, basil seeds, and longan made it super tropical. Perfect if you don't want something heavy. Both drinks were generous in size and layered really well. Overall, great flavor, fresh ingredients, and worth the price. Would definitely come back and try more! read more

Stopped by Bambu again, haha, for some boba and halo halo before heading to the market. It's always so refreshing and it tastes so yummy. Tried the refreshers (strawberry and dragon fruit) and got the mango halo halo for my dad, and he said it's the best. The refreshers were great too! Definitely a place to try if you're in need of something cold and refreshing and/or if you're in the area. read more

First time here and they have a variety of drink choices. More like the desserts than for boba. I got the ube 13. Halo halo. Apparently there's two ways you could get it. My drink had a ton of toppings! You also have a choice to have ice in or not. Menu was nice and easy to understand what each drink had. Service was good when we came on a Tuesday morning. We ordered about 5 drinks and was only waiting for one other person's order. I didn't mind the wait because I was being tantalized by the smell of the pandan waffles. That's definitely gonna be on my next visit. Don't forget to sign up for rewards for next time! Of course before leaving, I had to snap a pic cause of the cute decor! Accents of green, bamboo, and a Christmas tree, as we came during winter. read more

Review 13 of 22 for 2022! More than halfway through my new years resolution! legooo! I finally got to try this place and I will for sure be stopping by again when I get a chance. In the past I have tried many boba places but this one offers Vietnamese coffee along with Che (which I never had but heard its good). I went one weekend they had the Lunar new year event so the place was packed. The line did move fast and it was easy to order because they have pictures and a description of all of their drinks. The wall on the far right has a picture of their drinks with each ingredient that goes into it for those visual people like me. They also have a description of the drinks behind the bar but is kinda far to see because of the glare that comes in. I love coconut so i got their #11 and it was good, just wish it had more ice but I will be sure to ask for that next time. I also got the taro, both were delicious. I think next time I will try a different type of drink and hopefully they are not so busy. They called my order number but after a minute of looking at it I knew they had given me the wrong drink. No bid deal since I hadn't taken a sip of it but its all good. read more

After a non-Dim Sum meal at The Pearl, as we were leaving, we were craving something sweet. How about a boba? Perfect, there's one right next door. Thuy and I shared a "Penny Wort" ("rau ma" in Vietnamese). It's a plant that Thuy's parents grew in their gardens (in Vietnam, and here). It's quite an usual flavor. Very green, with maybe a hint of banana (maybe someone forgot to wash a spoon?). Either way, very refreshing. So with our single drink, I'll go A-OK (3 star Yelp description). Bottom line: Next time I pick and I'm going for a milk tea! read more

Probably depends on the ingredients that changes in different store. I always get the #1 Che. Always so refreshing and yummy. I have try the other one, but it seems like I go back toy favorite. I just wish that they would make Che flans Vietnamese styles or Che bach cuc. Maybe seasonal promo later!! I don't live in the two states.

LOVE Bambu, but why must their dessert drinks be so EXPENSIVE :( I love their Bambu Refresher and Bambu Special, but that $6 is hurting my wallet. If I'm really, really craving one, then I'll get it, but it's just once a month. The Thai Tea isn't good, so don't try it. The Vietnamese Coffee is good. Very strong though (which I like). I read lots of reviews saying the service is poor...Every time I came here, the service was fast. Even when it's crowded. Maybe I just got lucky. Oh, the lady making the drinks and calling out the order is really, really, REALLY loud. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're willing to spend a premium on drinks. read more

Went here with some friends for something cold and sweet on a hot day. The service was slow, so I do have to knock a star, but it was because they were making more pandan jelly. The drinks were delicious and really unique. I got the Bambu favorite, which is unlike anything else really. Some of the ingredients are hard to describe to an American pallette, but if you have a sense of adventure, I'd definitely say it's worth trying something new. If you aren't adventurous, don't worry, there is an abundant menu of fruit smoothies and teas, and they all look great. And I would also like to point out that my drink was not cloyingly sweet, as dessert drinks can sometimes be. So overall, this is a great place to relax and try a little something new. read more

I'm from Houston where there are a lot more Bambu locations, whereas this is the only location throughout the DFW area if I'm not mistaken. This is located in the Asia Time Square center, attached to the food court. The inside is clean, but pretty small with limited seating. Their menu clearly states what is in each drink, and service was quick considering it was a Friday night during the Lunar New Year weekend celebrations. We order the Smashed Avocado and #4 Summer Delight, but both were not sweet enough compared to what I've had at other locations. read more

Please note that I came here for explicitly for their bubble tea, not their Vietnamese che drinks. As such, this review will reflect my experience *only* with the bubble tea. My usual order - mango green tea with double tapioca - was not an option here. They had only two fresh fruit teas, so I asked the cashier for a mint green milk tea, without the milk because I'm slightly lactose intolerant (and getting worse by the year...) He was happy to oblige. Authentic Flavor - 2/5 Nope, haha. My mother ordered the soursop smoothie, my father the durian smoothie, and my sister the strawberry banana smoothie. Consensus was that it was either powdered flavouring or canned fruit. Definitely not fresh. You would figure my mint green tea would taste, well, like tea with a hint of mint. It accomplished that, but it was also SUPER sweet. I'm wondering if the tea is like, sweet tea from a carton or something? It actually tasted like the Arizona green tea you can buy in a can for $0.99 at a convenience store. I personally didn't mind it too much, but for someone who comes in wanting actual fresh fruit and tea, you'll be disappointed. Boba Flavor & Consistency - 4/5 Not much to say here. The boba was appropriately chewy, but I didn't find anything stand-out about it. The coating was almost nonexistent, but given how sweet the drink already was, I didn't mind. Menu Variety - 3/5 There are milk teas, smoothies, coffee-style tea drinks (e.g. tea lattes), and lots of Vietnamese drinks. I give the menu a 3 because it is sorely lacking on the bubble tea side, but if you're interested in Vietnamese desserts they have a TON of variety to choose from. In short, there are much better places to go for bubble tea (there are at least two in the Hong Kong Super Market next door, just for starters), but if you enjoy sweet bubble tea or Vietnamese drinks, this might be a nice haunt. read more

First of all, I had tried their drinks before such as the strawberry mojito, a basic Thai tea, etc. They have disappointed me in those drink because there was more ice in the cup than drinks itself plus it taste kind of watered down. I didn't plan to write a review after that. This time I came for a simple cup of water for my little brother which was charged .54 cent ? Didn't mind, gave the rest of my change as tips.

The food here was good, and I'd definitely be willing to come back just for the food…read more Unfortunately, I don't think I actually will because of everything else about the experience. The ordering process is entirely through kiosks, and your food comes out from one of three different kitchens whenever it's ready. That sounds efficient in theory, but in reality it wasn't. We waited about 30 minutes just for two slices of pizza. The long wait wouldn't have been as frustrating if the restaurant itself had been more enjoyable. It was packed with groups of loitering high school students, making it difficult to even walk over to refill a drink without getting bumped into. Finding a table was another challenge, and the ones we did find were dirty and sticky. I could see the kitchen staff working hard, so I don't blame them for the delay. This felt more like a management issue. The restaurant appeared understaffed, and there didn't seem to be any effort to manage the large groups of students who were occupying tables without ordering, leaving very little seating for paying customers. It's a great concept, and the food was genuinely good, but the overall dining experience outweighed the positives for me. Unless those issues are addressed, I wouldn't recommend it.

Overpriced and very small portions! This was my slider and fries! I ordered a large pizza for my…read morekids and they enjoyed it but it was very greasy, little sauce but edible.

However, I have come to the conclusion that I will go on a Daq world tour and having passed the Dash about 1 million times, it was to be stop number 1. As the other reviewers have said, the place was DEAD. When I walked in, the "Dash Doll" was nowhere in sight. She came out, somewhat annoyed. While she had the physique of a doll, I wouldn't say she had the demeanor. Well, except the silence. I powered through. "Hello!" I said. "What is the most popular?" They had about 10 options. "Ummmm, High or Watermelon, I guess." Great, I will go watermelon." I said. "Vodka, Rum or Tequila?" the doll said. "Vodka!" I exclaimed. "Ummm, extra shots or nah?" She said. "Sure, 2." I said. After that, my small talk went ignored. So, I will take this time to explain what I know about the "Vodka, Rum, Tequila" question. The state of Texas makes it very hard for these types of places to put real liquor in these, so essentially, you are getting the imitation liquor, wine based. I don't hate this, but some might. For illustration, I have added some pics of examples of these alcohols, made to appear as legit liquor, but are essentially flavored grape wine, which I found at Kroger. Anyways, less digression on my part. I received my Watermelon Daq with 3 shots. Where Eskimo puts a sealed bag over it that literally everyone rips off in the parking lot, they seal with tape (as shown in the pic) that everyone literally rips off in the parking lot. Lemme tell ya, that Daq was strong. They pump your shots from a pump, and put the frozen mix on top, so stir it first. However, whether it's a heavy pump or a really cheap imitation liquor, it tasted so strong from A to Z. With that, I was generally pleased. The watermelon flavor was really kind of off though. Less melon and more rind. It had that watermelon flavor, but more like Hy-Chew than Jolly Rancher. More "Now N Later" than Sour Patch. This place is mad conveniently located off of 303/360, but I would likely take the jaunt over to The Hut instead.

Their Pearl boba milk tea is the definition of perfection; not too sweet and the taste of a regular milk tea drink isn't too watery or plain. Usually customers won't have an issue when places put less ice and more of the drink, but ironically I actually think Gong Cha puts too little ice. Especially during this 100 degree summer, I remember getting a drink from them and it took all but two minutes under the sun for all the ice to melt. The drink itself isn't cold enough in my opinion, but nonetheless I still enjoy coming here, alternating between this chain and Bambu nearby. The store isn't too large, and if it gets crowded it will be hard to find seating. The atmosphere is nothing special, but overall my experience with staff and drink quality remains good enough for me to come back.

I like coming here to get the pineapple bread and chocolate rolls. Occasionally I'd try the other goodies, including their custom milk bun, garlic bread, egg tarts and chocolate pudding. All of them never disappoint, as they're always fresh and kept in appropriate temperatures. As an app member, I also get deals; I've claimed their free drinks before, and I think it's a great value especially when I enjoy grabbing a milk tea to accompany my pastries. The drinks are top tier too; I've tried their lattes, milk tea and specials. Staff has never made my drink wrong and I've gotten them at a reasonable time even if it's busy. I will say, since it's a bakery, obviously come early to have the freshest items. Also as the day goes on, they will stop restocking, so by the time it's 5PM, most of their items are gone. Be early and you'll have a great time!

Unfortunately, the cashier forgot to include my slice of Black Forest cake. Everything else was packed, but as you can see from the photo, the cake was missing. We called the bakery to see if we could pick up the cake at another location since we were already about 20 minutes away on the freeway when I opened the box and realized it wasn't there. We were told that wasn't an option. They did offer a refund, but because we paid in cash and were already so far away, that wasn't very convenient. Aside from that issue, everything else was good. I'm disappointed because the cake was the item I was looking forward to the most. I'll give the Carrollton location a try next time and hope for a better experience.
