I planned a visit to Bambu after a difficult dentist appointment. They were closed but the hostel saw my disappointment and got me the coconut soup I'd been craving. Plus rice lid cucumber salad. All for $16.95. 5 gold stars for Bambu E Barnett and Phoenix Rd read more

Amazing Restaurant!! Hands down, BEST hospitality in all of Medford!! The Manager, Jen, made some magic happen to accommodate us, party of 8 walking in on a busy Thursday Night with a garlic, ginger, and gluten allergy!! She was just so warm, attentive, and truly connected with her staff and guests. The staff reflected this professional and elegant manner. Great training. Beautiful restaurant! Absolutely delicious food! Got our Dad to convert to Thai Food. He has never liked Thai Food his whole life, and he is now hooked , only at this restaurant. read more

Everything is fabulous about Bambu! I've never been nothing but extremely satisfied when dining here. The specials never disappoint. Great wine list! The staff is wonderful. A real treat! read more

Good food each time I've been there, whether dining in or taking it to go. Their Thai tea is good as well!

First time there we made reservations and I see why place is small. We tried the KOREAN BBQ BEEF, and TIGER CRIES. Steak was very tender and flavorful. For dessert we tried the coconut key lime pie I'm a fan of both flavors, but the pie wasn't that great the texture is a bit grainy, and you don't get any coconut flavor, so I'd say pass on the pie. read more

Every time it is THE best!! I cry that I live in the midwest and can only visit on vacation.

I saw Bambu promoted on the local PBS program, "All Across Oregon," and knew I wanted to try this restaurant. We were not disappointed. We began with Thai Coconut Soup and Crispy Calamari. The Calamari arrived just moments from the fryer. The meat inside was tender and juicy. My wife enjoyed her soup... but not as much as I enjoyed my calamari! My wife ordered Thai Style Fried Rice with Prawns, and I ordered Curry Basil Salmon. I don't order salmon often, but this was the most tender, thick salmon I think I've ever had. The curry sauce had a nice kick that didn't over-power the fish and the provided bowl of rice scoops allowed me to collect all that sauce on my fork We arrived for a 5:30 reservation. It was nice, I think, to see this restaurant probably 75% full that early, given that their dinner service begins at 5PM. To some the pace of service might have seemed a bit pokey. In hindsight, however, we were allowed to talk over our beverages and we were never made to feel like we needed to turn the table over. We have "discovered" another restaurant to share with our family and visiting guests. My thanks to the staff for a great meal and their great service. read more

Nice outdoor patio. Great food and service . Good atmosphere for an upscale casual dinner.

My family took me to Bambu for my birthday. The food was AMAZING! The service was awesome. We will be back for sure.

Decided to write a review on this restaurant. In addition to food & service, one of the most important things for a restaurant is reservations. Here is my complaint. I've made reservations twice now for this restaurant for very special occasions. Booked both times on a Saturday night. One for a birthday, the other an anniversary. Both times the reservation was confirmed. Both times they messed up saying "sorry we do not see your reservation" When you have a whole evening planned for a very special occasion, and they mess up, I consider this unacceptable. One time...maybe. But twice, absolutely not! On the second time, I spoke to a girl who answered the phone. She was extremely sorry and tried her best to alleviate my anger about this. Yes I was angry, but told this girl it was not her fault and apologized if I sounded agitated. She was really excellent and quite sweet in trying to help me, but best she could do was offer sitting at the counter at a much later time which would not work. She said the owner or manager would call me to see if there was anything they could do to make this up to me. I never was contacted! I never ate here so cannot comment on food or service. But I will never try again. This establishment has ZERO CLASS and I would never recommend to anyone especially if they plan for a special evening. I own a retail business and if ever messed up, always did what I had to do to make the customer happy. Obviously the owner cares little for this. Big thumbs down! read more

Ok, been here several times and I must say I am 100% impressed. There is not a weakness in their service and quality, and the staff is always welcoming, knowledgeable and just in time. These people that run/cook/own this establishment are talented!! I love this place! read more

The tiger rolls here are so yummy! I get them every time I'm in Medford. They take a lot of care with their food here and if you sit up to the granite countertop, you can watch the chefs in action. It's a cozy little place with indoor and outdoor seating. I love how they prepare the salmon. A few weeks ago, I had the curry basil salmon, which is a filet over sautéed vegetables and curry basil sauce. Last week I had the seafood curry, which blew my mind! It had a little kick to it, but was so flavorful and full of all kinds of fish and shellfish... So much that I could only finish half. It was a surprise in every bite:-) this is one of my favorite places to eat when I visit Medford and I would recommend it. read more

Anyway I can give them 10 stars?!?! It is that good. The place is awesome. Outside dining is the best of the best!! The food! I cannot like out of this world delicious... read more

What a great Date night my husband and I had at Bambu. I have been here a few times and knew I loved it but it's been awhile and my husband has never been here. The Atmosphere was so relaxed and The staff was Great. Then you have the food. Yummmy !!! Thank you to the cooks you did an amazing job! All our food came out fast and all good timing For the appetizer we had the tiger rolls and fried calamari. Entrée my husband had a steak dish and I had a curry dish mine was red shrimp curry and it was so full of flavor over great food We Tried two desserts the cream Burle and Lava beignets with macadamia nut ice cream I believe. Both deserts are very delicious. What a treat for us thank you again Bambu we will be back.Thank you to Sean he was are server we appreciate it. read more

Great food and environment. Will continue coming here! Parking can get tricky but worth it.

The food here is always excellent and the service is great the lunch specials are good and dinner is amazing

Great place to eat. Lots of vegan options and always fresh and flavorful. Service is great, they always make us feel like family. I read some of the recent reviews and was surprised to see that someone would make assumptions based on hearsay and put it out there as something they "were told." At least get the owners name correct before putting out a line of gossip. Bad reviews should be scrutinized. read more

So I went out to eat here a few weekends ago. Was not extremely impressed by the food, especially for the high prices. The service was fine, my pad Thai was definitely a interesting variation of what I hoped. I'll leave it at that. As someone who's visited Thailand, let's just say it left me yearning for the real thing. On the plus side, The wine list featured many local options. The two bottles we tried were quite good. But more importantly one of our friends we were dining with shared quite a story about Bambu and the management they had heard from multiple people. After hearing it myself, I won't be back. It involved some extremely concerning things that happened to a female employee there over a long period of time... all I can say is if true, while the ownership which seem to present a certain face to the public actually have some very troubling actions going on behind the scenes. It sounds as if they did not protect their employee, even ignored significant happenings and assaults that an employee reported. Specifically the female owner Monica was said to have looked the other way completely, even siding with the other party. These things are important, and word does get around. There's several better options in town for this type of cuisine. And call me old fashioned but I like to support good people and their businesses. Not sure this is the case at Bambu. read more

Fantastic food and service, consistently good. Great date night or even lunch restaurant.

Nice service, but sorry to say the food is NOT GOOD. Only vaguely resembles actual Asian flavors. I was hopeful, but very disappointed. Sorry Bambu, we rong be back. read more

It was fine but honestly not worth the price tag. I think they charge that much because of the monopoly on asian fusion here. The spring rolls were quite good, the indonesian fried noodles were a PASS, and the dim sum plate was good too. Service was pretty good, nothing to write home about, I saw another server or two doing better than ours. Indoor seating was nice, kind of too squished together in my opinion. Would've liked outside more. I could hear everyone else's conversations clearer than my own. This was probably a one time visit for me lol read more

Halbut was delicious and perfectly cooked, very fresh. Spiced ice cream was really good, didn't think five spice and raisins made such good ice cream flavor. Good portions, good flavors. read more

Finding a good, consistent pan-asian restaurant in this area can be a challenge. But, Bambu rises to that challenge. Choosing from the menu is difficult as there are many delicious options. I like the Korean Beef option, where they do a great job not just with the beef, but the bok choy as well. I find that it's sometimes also hard to get decent seafood around here, but Bambu covers the bases well in that regard. A lot of good prawn and fish options were available. The curry salmon entree was well presented as well. No real complaints, but it wasn't quite the level of amazing. I think the menu indicated that it might be crisped up a bit, and it wasn't. Still great, but not yet over-the-top good. I'm confident we'll be back again for another round with Bambu, and perhaps we'll come with an empty stomach to try more appetizers! read more

We made a reservation, based on the website's recommendation. This restaurant is seating only outside, in cute tables surrounded by fire pits and heat lamps. It's quite comfortable. We ordered the Tiger rolls as an appetizer-crispy won ton cover cream cheese! Super good. For dinner, we got 2 of their specials: 1) bbq lamb chops over sautéed vegetables and 2) a salmon and shrimp duet in a shiitake mushroom broth with fresh asparagus. Both were so so delicious! We thought that dinner was so great that we had to try dessert. We opted for the flourless chocolate torte and the ginger creme brûlée. The torte was amazing. The creme brûlée was good, but interesting. I had never had ginger in this before and it was good, but different. Get it if you're feeling experimental. All in all, very good. I'll be back to try more, as their menu is seasonal and changes often. read more

It is so unusual to order online nowadays and show up exactly on time to have the food being carried to the reception area. But they did it! While it is a little pricey, the food tastes excellent, was hot, was fresh, and the menu was very diverse. Hostess was very kind and efficient, great experience. read more

Well, I've eaten here three times and every time was a 'meh' experience for me. This was my last chance. I've noticed a trend in Medford to put unusual or exotic-sounding items on the menu that are not so exotic but are used to lure the naive to eat. These ingredients are often misused leading people to think they don't like something that was simply not meant to be used that way. Perhaps this is because I've cooked various types of cuisines professionally, but I'm always disappointed to go knowing I could do better myself. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. We had a number of appetizers and shared the salmon, pad Thai, Mahi Mahi & cashew chicken dish. Highly recommend the pad Thai. It isn't traditional pad Thai but its delightful. Crab wontons are phenomenal as appetizers. We brought our own wine for free cork Monday! Peter William's Syrah read more

Delicious food - favorite is Chicken Katsu!Also like String bean stir fry with chicken!

I was feeling rather punky & browsed theIr menu online- not wanting to pay extra charges for delivery, I decided to pick up takeout. Boy, was THAT a stupid idea! I got the lemongrass soup- explain to me why I need to pay extra for tofu? It's cheaper than chicken by a longshot, yet it was $5 more & I felt I was pressured into the sale. Now, I can't blame them for adding tomato when I forgot to mention my allergy to the vegetable, but a warning about the kaffir leaf still being in the dish would've been nice. I also got the "dim sum plate"... lemme tell you, as an Asian, that is NOT dim sum! 1 pork bun the size of a stress-ball, 3 shu mai (about the size of a walnut) & 3 chicken 'dumplings' (extremely chewy potstickers, at best) felt like they were microwaved just before I came in to pick my order up- which were cold by the time I got home (not 2 blocks away)! Definitely NOT worth the $12.00 it's advertised for! And the "chicken curry wontons"... WHERE'S THE CURRY?!? It was ground chicken in tough, friend wonton skins that, for some reason, were sweet?! Do these people even TASTE their food before making it? And the 'dipping sauces'- if you wanna call sweet chili sauce, soy sauce & chili paste that- were the SAME as all the other containers! Mix it up a little! Bottom line, NOT WORTH THE $30.41 I HAD TO PAY FOR THE WHOLE "MEAL"! I'd BARELY pay $15 for the lot- if you want a real Asian experience, DON'T COME HERE!!!! read more

I didn't feel I got much value for the money. It was explained that the 5% to-go fee was to provide "high quality to-go containers which our customers prefer" or something like that. My vegetable dinner plate was expensive, skimpy and bland. For $16 I expected a large portion, or at least some 'fancy' vegetables like mushrooms or asparagus, but it was totally run of the mill. The restaurant had saved on table service, bussing and dishwashing, and had not provided me ambience, nor 30-40 minutes of attentive service. They also did not have to clean linens, or carpets, or restrooms on account of my order. So why was I being charged extra beyond what was paid by those who dined in and had all those amenities? Disappointing. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat! You really can't go wrong with any order, great seafood, chicken, with a Bambu twist. read more

Just visiting and went here for a friend's birthday. The food was really great. Especially the katsu chicken and the pan fried noodles and the beef dish that someone got. The Thai fried rice was just so so otherwise I'd have given 5 stars And the service by Sean was definitely a 5. 4 stars overall. But makes me want to go back next time I'm in town read more

NEVER AGAIN! We have a bad experience every time we eat here. Arrogant ownership. No appreciation of customers Very poor service. Extremely slow mostly non-existent. My Salmon fish was grossly undercooked. Requested they cook it longer. Hosteess/possibly owner came to our table and angrily stated, "THIS IS HOW WE COOK OUR FISH HERE". She took the fish and literally microwaved it to cook it longer! Came back like rubber. Disgusting experience! read more

My friend and I had tried to come a month ago but they were closed. Today we went back, excited for some highly anticipated food. The description of food sounded amazing! Tofu and pan fried veggies and udon noodles, but in reality what we got was half burnt spaghetti noodles. Large chunks of poorly fried unseasoned tofu and the blandest peanut sauce I've ever tasted and vegetable steamed into oblivion. The worst meal I can recall. If you want some really exceptional cuisine go to Soo Rah in downtown Medford, it was so much better! read more

I love that! read more
