One of my favorite restaurants in Springfield, the owner Henry has things up and go in here, this place is like not all there. One of my favorite restaurants in Springfield, the owner Henry has things up and going here, this place is like none other. read more

I am new to Vietnamese cuisine so I'm a little lost when it comes to what to expect on the menu. However, the waitress was very helpful. My wife and I both ordered the Seafood Noodle Soup with clear noodles and the Boba tea (Green tea flavor). Everything was wonderful. This is a nice, peaceful place to enjoy lunch or dinner. I look forward to dining here again! read more

The food here is fantastic...so fresh and tasty! The Spring rolls are a must-try!

This is my favorite restaurant by far. The food is always fantastic and tastes fresh. This is the closest I've found to authentic in Southwest Missouri. My only complaint is that it is rather dark in the restaurant and the music can sometimes be too loud. Also, the bathrooms smell like cigarettes. The food is good enough to ignore these grievances. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. The Pho is great and the price is good. Highly recommend.

The spring rolls were amazing...very fresh and the peanut sauce was delicious. I also had the lemon grass chicken and could not put my chop sticks down...so yummy! read more

Loved the food and staff. Never have been to a Vietnamese restaurant before and will definitely come back. The waiter even rigged chopsticks with a rubber band and paper for my eight year old to use easier which he thought was pretty cool. read more

I have been many Vietnamese places but this one was just not good. Pho was way too sweet and the noodles were overcooked.

every dish tastes sweet, i don't like it. i prefer a bright dining room, but this is not. i don't think i will come again. read more

See all

Eaten at this establishment several times over the years. It's actually on e of the few places my Asian wife (not Vietnamese) will go. You get plenty for your money if you're wanting a hot meal. Dishes we've enjoyed are Vietnamese "pho" soups, lemongrass chicken, various rice and various noodle dishes with different meats. Click the link to their website above for full menu. Even with change of ownership, the food has been good and consistent. What we love about the soups are the side dish of fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs which include fresh Thai Basil on the stem, Vietnamese Cilantro, Mexican Cilantro, lime wedges, jalapeños, and bean sprouts. Everything complements your soup and you can add to your taste. They have something for everyone, spicy, not spicy, noodles, rice, different meats, and for those hungering for more than the norm, they have the more authentic ingredients mentioned in previous reviews. it's all relative to what you've been raised with. For half the world human population, trip is normal. And it's good here. For extra flavor, you can try some of the chili sauces which are standard on the tables. My wife loves the pickled plum drink, and it's been growing on me too. We haven't had an appetizer we didn't like. In fact, the crispy egg rolls are actually better now than they were before. The chicken cabbage salad is amazing, can't go there without getting it, and all the pickled vegetables are delicious. There has always been a steady stream of Asians who patron the restaurant which says something in and of itself. Service has always been very friendly and consistent. For this area, Bambu certainly deserves five stars. read more

Disappointed.. with the Thai Tea and the boba was not fresh!! Pho was okay, not the best. Overall experience... not great.. Service was slow, waiter took for ever with the orders and food was mediocre. Recommendation: I do not recommend. Not at all impressed :( read more

Pho not bad. Ban mi had a great taste. Need to serve chicken and veggie broth.

This place is never a let down. The barbeque pork or beef is always delicious! Also try the spring and egg rolls! I have never had an egg roll I love. In fact, I rarely try, more so, order egg rolls, but I tried theirs today and loved it!! Even better with the fish sauce it comes with! Prices are very reasonable as well! read more

Not the best Vietnamese I've ever eaten but hands down the best Tofu. I don't even know how they do it. Its on the app menu and you need to try it. Its like they marinated it in angle's tears. If you think you don't like the stuff than its only because you haven't had it made properly. This place would change even the most dogmatic carnivore's mind. On the other hand, the service is pretty atrocious. I had a server once describe a vegetarian dish that she suggested and it came out with a chicken leg in it. So... yea.... Good thing their Tofu was so life changing or I would give this place one star. read more

My first time going to this restaurant wants bad at all. Service was really fast and and food came super quick! Their boba tea are like a slush, it isn't liquid; which isn't what I was expecting but it tastes the same. I got the noodle deluxe which is egg and clear noodle, and a lot of meat in the soup. It was delicious! I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Vietnamese food read more

The best bowls of soup and other healthy stuff you can find in town, and the spring rolls are amazing.

Food took forever and came cold with a soggy cucumber. But the Workers seemed to be understaffed. The rice was a bit dry for stemmed rice. Don't buy the egg pancake it is bad. read more

Bambu Vietnamese Cuisine - Vietnamese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

The best Pho and Vermiciilli in town, period. BUT with that said, its quite sad that they have been raising the prices since I've started going there. I'm sure this is why they dont seem as busy as they used to be, 2-3 years ago.. read more

I really liked Bambu until I caught a glimpse of my waitress taking plates of veggies and herbs BACK into the kitchen instead of throwing them away with the rest of the unwanted food. I am disgusted that those special, add-your-own ingredients that are served with the pho soups are touched by probably 15 people or more... every day. In lieu of this accident, I tried Rolls and Bowls and it's great. The sauces are more authentic, the bobas are WAY better (creamier, smoother), and I prefer the service over Bambu's anytime. I also watched my server take my plates away and ALL of the contents were discarded, none taken back to be served to other customers. read more

After reading the reviews for Bambu here, we decided to have dinner here when we were in town for a family wedding. We showed up not knowing what to expect never having had Vietnamese food before. We chose it for it's gluten free options. Bambu exceeded all our expectations. We had great food, the service could not have been more helpful and the price was right. We'll be back next time we're in town for a visit! read more

Best Spring Rolls and peanut sauce in Springfield. I really enjoy most of their dishes, and the restaurant is very clean and comfy. I'm giving four stars, because even though the service staff is knowledgeable and friendly, they are super slow and not the best with clearing dishes or re-filling drinks. They kind of just drop off food and don't come back. Maybe this is what they're trained to do? Still a good place for Vietnamese, and I'll keep coming back. read more

Avoid. I went there some time ago and the food was rotten, and there was a huge, round pork bone in it. Brought it in, showed the waiter and instead trying to help he got mad at us. read more

Love the fresh spring rolls and the chicken cabbage salad! Fresh, delicious! I love this place! Try the chicken pho on a cool day. It will hit the spot! I really like the lemon grass chicken and the V1 too! I haven't had anything here that was not very good! read more

The good stuff first: the staff. The service was efficient and friendly. The bad: the smell of old cigarettes and incense. Yuk! The "meh": the food. Unfortunately the good service doesn't make up for just ok pho and for a bad smelling restaurant. Made me miss my favorite pho restaurant at home... read more

I absolutely love this place! The male server I wish I could remember his name, but, He Is A Wonderful server. I've never had a bad experience at this resturant. Occasionally I've had a long wait time 30 to 55 minutes. The food makes every minute worth waiting for. I can't say anything negative about this place. Absolutely love it. read more

This restaurant used to be good but not anymore. The food there was not fresh and the noodle that we ordered was undercooked.

Tried there food once and wasn't at all Impressed. Felt it was way over priced for the amount of money they charged for it. The business didn't have very many customers when I went in and placed my order to go. The person that was working the cash register could barley speak english and I didn't understand him any more than he understood me. Had to get a english speaking waitress to place my order. The interior of the restaurant was rather shabby. After waiting fifteen minutes I got my food. The spring rolls sucked and the rice dish I ordered had very little meat and lacked flavor. Not worth trying there food again. read more

Sorry folks, if you've had Vietnamese elsewhere, then this rates as mediocre. The pork and eggrolls on my bun were tasty, and it was a pretty presentation but the bun had a weird starchy aftertaste and the lettuce was brown. Kind of shabby interior and not so spiffy bathrooms too. This place is ok in a pinch, but I'd hold out for better. read more

We should have left when the menus were handed to us. The menus are covered in plastic ....and unfortunately also with highly noticeable grime and debris of unknown origin. Also noted huge water spots in the ceiling tiles, sticky table tops, etc. Bottom line, the restaurant does not appear to be clean which makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like. Secondly the food was mediocre at best. The young lady that waited on us was pleasant but not very attentive. Leaving with not many reasons to go back....there are better options. read more

Really enjoy eating at Bambu! They have a great gluten free menu. I've eaten here many times and have never become ill. It is the first restaurant my son wants to go to when he comes here from New York City. read more

Bambu is what Vietnamese should be; light, fresh, and delicious! I love their spring rolls and seafood noodle soup! Perfect for a nice, casual meal! read more

Bad service and super long wait. We waited for an almost an hour and still did not get our food. Even the table that came after us got their food before us! We just left after that bc of the bad service. Not coming back ever...next time we're in springfield we'll just eat fast food. read more

Disappointed overall. Spring rolls were fresh but bland. Vermicelli was very good. Customer orientation was disappointing. Refused to accept restaurant.com coupon that we had purchased. No expiration on the voucher but they had "decided they would no longer accept them." They suggest I contact restaurant.com web site. It was only $15 off a $45 tab so not a big deal, but was not very well handled. Add that to "condiments cost extra sign" behind the cash register and you get an idea of their customer orientation. read more

The prices are a little higher than I like, but the Pho is so good. I loved it, even though I had no idea what Pho was. Just imagine if I had understood why they brought so many condiments I had never seen before! Highly recommend trying the Pho, and please be more adventurous with the cool condiments than I was. Wish the seats were more comfortable. read more

Great food and awesome prices! Egg rolls are the best in town!

This is my 3rd time to lunch at Bambu and I have thoroughly enjoyed EVERY SINGLE TIME I have gone. My son and I usually go together before his work shift and both of us really enjoy the food and the service. Keep up the good work Bambu! read more

Not really impressed, their Boba tea only comes blended and they do not give re-fills (even though someone said they did in a following comment) we waited 15 mins for our check, and the food was not that great.... Wouldn't eat here again read more

It was very disappointed experience for us! The soup was cool, late and disgusting. We tried to talk to the owner and he tried to defend himself and said that they made the soup for Americans style(taste) which was not authentic. Honestly I tried to eat the soup but I can not eat! The soup was disgusting no taste at al,l looked like they don't care with the customers. We were waiting for 25 minutes for disgusting soup and it was very disappointed to see that they have very good reviews but bad food. read more

I am never going there again. I use to think highly of Bambu, until their staff changed. On two different occasion I ordered coconut juice and they were all overdue. It was terrible, I went in to return the drink and even the replacement still tasted overdue. The last time I was there, I ordered a Papaya Boba Tea. The waiter came around twice confirming our order and I reminded him twice that I wanted the Papaya Boba Tea, well after finishing my plate I still did not get my Boba Tea and finally when I went up to pay, they were going to charge me for it!!! Seriously, terrible services and now my friends and families are having second thoughts about going there....I seriously think it is disgusting to serve overdue drinks to customers, people can get sick from that. Never again..... read more

10-14-14 Dinner: The first, second, and third table we where taken to was dirty!, The fourth table we waited for awhile to place drink order, Menu was smeared with sticky substance, Water was finally brought to my other guest with me. While trying to order I was informed the item I picked was out...and several other items as well...I gave up and didn't order anything...my guests however waited and waited for both drinks and meal...we finally asked for it to-go...service was slow, drinks where slow, and to be honest my quest didn't like her meal....I will not be going back..... read more
