    Love this place! Their hazelnut mocha coffee is to die for! Me and my husbands go to place. They have great desserts love their macaroons as well. Great service, employees are all very kind!

    So... occasionally I get that itch--you know, the sweet Vietnamese chè kind. A sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, a little pandan jelly, a generous pour of coconut milk... heavenly. Anyway, I ordered #2 and #10 last night, and instead of that glorious dessert symphony, I basically got... beans. Yellow beans, red beans, white beans--Noah's Ark of legumes. The rest? Tapioca--green string, red cube, and some black balls--and then a mountain of shaved ice. Like, half the large cup was basically the iceberg that sank my expectations. Barely enough coconut milk to sink the iceberg (and my disappoinment) to make it past customs. Nineteen dollars (plus tip!) for two large chè and a whole lot of disappointment (and still itching, i mean craving this am, enough to write this junk poetry). What happened?! Did chè evolve? Did inflation hit the jelly aisle? Or did someone in the kitchen just decide last night was Bean Appreciation Day?

    Smashed avocado
    Brandon D.

    I remember trying Bambu when they used to have a location in Dallas. It has long since closed so it's been awhile since I've had their che. I tried my aunt's order, the taro lover, which included taro, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. It was pretty good and refreshing. She recommended that I get the smashed avocado to go. It's packed with boba, coffee jelly, and condensed milk. It was also pretty good but very rich and dense, I couldn't finish it on my own. Definitely share this with some one.

    $10 over-priced basil seed coconut and longan drink
    Hue N.

    Bambu is overpriced and such a rip-off. Two different cup sizes, with a large cup of drink--added tax--costing $$$10 plus tip! Yesterday, I ordered a basil seed drink with young coconut and longan fruit. I won't be coming back here for a while to contribute my $ to this greedy owner. There are soo many different choices to enjoy on Bellaire Blvd such as Long Cafe and buba teas.

    Smashed avocado, #1, #10

    Pros: -friendly staff -quick service -good ches Cons: -dirty restrooms -can be pricey

    Almond milk boba and strawberry boba
    LaMecia M.

    Accidentally dropped in here because I wasn't paying attention (was supposed to try another tea place in the parking lot) but they served a great almond milk boba so it was a win. They have a number of dessert options in addition to a bevy of teas. This is a pretty spacious place so good for groups and families.

    5 stars for the delicious banh Trang and #10 on the menu - my ultimate late-night go-to! The sweetness is on point, and the taste is just top-notch. Service is meh, but the struggle for parking is real

    Always a great place to get Vietnamese dessert or drinks. Quick and friendly service. Wifi friendly. Posted photos of the menu with updated prices

    Che'
    Anissa A.

    I looooove Bambu. It is the highlight of my visits to the bay area, and if I'm lucky I'll get through there a couple of times during a work week, so I was jazzed to see one here in Houston. Even though I was stuffed from the Vietnamese food buffet next-door, this was a necessary stop. Bambu is special because of the Che' - there's a lot of fruit drinks, milk teas, and Boba drinks all over the place, but not so many of the more dessert type treats. Young coconut? Basil seeds? Mixed jelly? Yes please. Clean establishment; efficient service.

    Mangonada shaved ice
    Sanaa C.

    Came here for dessert on a Thursday night with my mother who absolutely loves this place! We got the Mangonada shaved ice and it was delicious! It is a bit pricey at about $10 for the dish, but it's also HUGE. Can definitely satisfy 3 people. The two of us had a hard time finishing it... The service was great and fast. It's counter service. You order there, get your number, and then pick it up when they call your number. The interior is nice. Lots of seating. They have outdoor tables too, which we took advantage of :) I have my eye on the Berrylicious one for next time!

    Smashed Avocado Chè
    Rob R.

    I've been here twice. Once on a weekday after lunch at Duy Sandwiches and the other time on a Saturday. Both times there was a steady stream of people ordering. The vibe was really chill with people sitting indoors and outdoors. The menu is easy to navigate and the staff is helpful if you have any questions. I ordered a Jasmine Mango Tea and the Smashed Avocado Chè the first time and only the Smashed Avocado Chè the second time. The Jasmine Mango Tea was really good, refreshing and not as sweet as I thought it would be, which is great to me. The Smashed Avocado Chè is exceptional! I enjoyed this chè so much. It is not too sweet but it tastes just right. I'm not a huge fan of boba itself but when combined with the jelly, avocado and ice, everything blends well and makes for a very balanced dessert. I'll be back for the ca phê sữa đá and salted caramel coffee soon and some of the other teas and chè at some point in the future. Bambu is a solid choice for chè, in a great location in a wonderful community. Try it out as soon as possible!

For something cold, the Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice with Flan is a total must-order. Milky sweet ice combined with fresh fruit, and a rich flan to top it off.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 2/5 Overall: 4.2 My group got the fresh fruit shaved ice with strawberry ice cream and coconut pudding. The shaved ice itself was really nice and fluffy, with the condensed milk topping being VERY sweet yet not overpowering. The fruit toppings we got, for the most part, were good. The pineapple and cantaloupe were both okay, though I think they both could've been fresher, but the strawberry and mango were both really good and complemented the shaved ice. I also really enjoyed the strawberry ice cream on top. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it added another dimension to the dish. The coconut pudding, though, was quite disappointing, not tasting like much and overall just feeling like a random and unnecessary addition to the otherwise really good dessert. The ambiance here was the main issue. It is a little bit barebones and not very decorated, but that didn't bother me. What did though was the piercing high pitched noise of the electronics, which made it really hard for me to focus, and the flashing lights, which just made me feel really disoriented. Still, this place is a hidden gem in the Dun Huang Plaza compared to everything else around it, and is definitely worth a try!

    So I haven't tried their drinks yet, but I had to leave a review for their pandan coconut waffles…read more I'm obsessed with anything pandan, so when I found out they had them, I had to stop by. This is my third time now, and they've been amazing every time. The waffle is like a perfect mix between a pancake and a waffle. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It's made fresh and served warm, and the flavor is spot on. It's slightly sweet with that rich coconut and pandan taste that just works. They also have other flavors like durian and taro if you're into trying something different. I'll definitely be back to try the drinks, but honestly, these waffles alone are worth the trip.

    Overall: 4.4/5 Mama…read moreMia sells Vietnamese drinks and snacks and what really stood out to us was their honesty. We were about to buy something when the lady told us not to get it because it wasn't good and they were planning to return it. She even had her staff take it off the shelf right away so no one else would pick it up. That kind of transparency is rare and we really appreciated it. The drinks took a while to come out but they make everything fresh so it was worth the wait. While we waited we checked out their crane machines and played a round. Mama Mia Special (L $9.75): Wow, this was a huge cup packed with fruit. I loved the coconut meat, jelly, and strawberry. The mango bits were not quite ripe so they were a bit sour but everything else made up for it. Matcha Mia (L $8): Yum, delicious and easy to drink. I actually liked this one more than the special since it combines sugarcane and coconut juice and just works really well together. Multi Flavor Waffle ($5.75): Comes with three flavors, pandan, durian, and taro. It was so good. I loved the pandan the most. I am not usually a fan of durian but I tried it and you can really taste it in there. The taro was the most subtle but still really good.
