It has tofu, avocado, seaweed, cucumbers, carrots and edamame. The sauce used on the rice was not too overdone or salty. The prices were very good. We shared an order of vegetable dumplings and they were good as well. Only minor quibble is that the ramen menu didn't specify what kind of broth was used. Luckily the staff at the counter answered our questions.

TLDR: Overpriced, tea just wasn't good…read more I tried this place around a year ago because it had amazing reviews, but my drink was so terrible that I couldn't finish it. It had an awful metallic taste, which I think came from the lychee jelly (lychee is not supposed to taste like that). I drink a ton of boba, and have never had something so bad I couldn't finish it before. I came back today to try it again, since the reviews of this place are continuously amazing, and mine is the only bad review. The toppings were the worst part. The tapioca pearls had firm and dry cores (I think it was maybe undercooked), which really brought the drink down. The jelly was not good, and I wouldn't even call it "jelly" personally. It was essentially sugar and flavor pellets with a processed and unpleasant tangy aftertaste. The tea wasn't great either. I sampled their jasmine tea since I really like jasmine, but I wasn't a fan, and I can make better with cheap grocery store tea. I tried their oolong tea, which was decent, but the flavor felt pretty diluted unfortunately. I also tried the Hokkaido tea, which was very sweet, and didn't taste quite like Hokkaido tea in my opinion. Normally I don't mind when boba is sweet, but I feel this place is pushing it too much. I ended up getting a little bit of the Hokkaido tea, and about 5x that amount of the oolong tea (which was fully unsweetened), and it was definitely sweet enough for me. There's a drink I sometimes get when I'm at college called "crème brûlée ube brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba". I personally prefer to call it "diabetes in a cup". I think the sweetness of that drink would be comparable to a full cup of the Hokkaido tea. Additionally, $8.46 is an absurd price to pay for this. I can get better boba for $6 down the street, or much better boba for $6-8 about 15 minutes away. If I want genuinely good boba, there's some shops in Rockville that I happily pay $8 a cup for, and they blow this place out of the water. This would be 3 star tea if it was $6. The staff member was nice, and the building itself was cute. The staff member recommended the Hokkaido tea with a pump of brown sugar syrup. This is why I tried the Hokkaido tea, but I didn't opt for the brown sugar pump since I'm not a huge fan of brown sugar boba (I prefer fruit tea and more eastern new-style tea). The "build your own tea" is a fine gimmick, but I don't want to pay $8 for it, especially when the toppings you can add are low quality. Additionally, some places have enough customization on their menu that you can essentially build your own tea anyways.

Sweet Bamboo Boba is hands down the best place I've ever found for bubble tea…read more You can make your own drink exactly how you want it, with your own flavors, combinations, and recipes. They have standard options too, but the fun part is building your own creation. They have bubbles, all kinds of jellies, teas, syrups, toppings, and so many ways to customize it. It reminds me of one of those self-serve frozen yogurt places, but for bubble tea. My go-to drink is strawberry jelly and lychee jelly on the bottom, then I fill the cup about two thirds of the way with ice, add coconut tea up to the top of the ice, and finish it with butterfly pea flower on top.

The combination rolls here are hands-down some of the best I've had: perfectly wrapped, packed with fresh herbs and shrimp, and that peanut dipping sauce is addictive. And the pho -- rich, fragrant broth, generous portions, everything tastes fresh every single time. It's the kind of bowl that ruins other pho for you. I've eaten here more times than I can count over the years, and I'm genuinely going to miss this place once I'm gone. My only complaint, and it's a running one: the building owners need to fix the damn A/C. It's been an issue for a while and really is the one thing holding back an otherwise perfect spot. If you're in Crofton, do yourself a favor and get the combination rolls and pho before you do anything else on the menu. Going to miss this place.

Came here for lunch on Monday (MLK Day) around 1:30 with my wife, and it honestly hit me that we've…read morebeen here plenty of times but I've never actually left a review. Which is wild, because I know I've taken a bunch of food pics here that I've never posted... complete waste lol. We walked in and were seated immediately and ended up getting the second-to-last available booth. Most of the room was couples on lunch dates, plus a group of friends, and later a party of about 7 took over one of the tables. Noise level was mostly moderate, with a quick sprinkle of loud when that bigger group got going, but nothing crazy, still totally fine for a date or a relaxed lunch. My wife ordered the A2 (slices of eye of round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon). I got the A6 (eye of round steak and soft tendon). The pho was good, the broth had a lot of flavor. I did order extra noodles because while I like the pho here, the portions are a little smaller compared to some other spots we go to. I loaded mine up with bean sprouts, tore up some basil, and let the jalapeños sit in the bowl for a bit for heat. Lately though, I've been more about the chili oil, which they'll bring out if you ask. We also got shrimp summer rolls, which are always a go-to for me when eating pho anywhere. These were fresh, great texture, and the basil really pops. The peanut sauce is one of the best parts. Honestly, I could come here just for the summer rolls and that sauce. I also grabbed a taro smoothie, lightly sweet and creamy, solid choice. Food came out fast, maybe 8 minutes after ordering. Service here is consistently good. The staff is friendly, not pushy at all, and they actually check in on you without hovering. You can always get someone's attention if you need something. They even let a couple move from a table to a booth once one opened up, which I thought was a nice touch. The place itself is very clean, the tables and floors are always well kept. I don't really remember music, but there was a TV on playing college basketball. Overall vibe is relaxed. Parking can be a little tight since it's tucked behind a Rita's and the layout is kind of awkward, but even when it's full you're not walking far, just a compact lot. Price-wise, our total was about $40, but that included an extra summer roll and an extra smoothie. Without the extras, it would've been under $30. My only real critique is portion size for the price, specifically with the pho. It's not a deal breaker, but it's why this isn't my go-to spot when I'm really hungry. I'm a big guy with a big appetite -- my wife would be fine eating here any day of the week. Would I come back? Yeah. The food is good and the service is solid. For me, this is more of a quick lunch spot or a stop when I'm on the move, rather than a full dinner destination. Consistent, reliable, and never a bad choice, just depends on how hungry you are.

I must say each visit was FANTASTIC!! With every one getting better than the last. For some reason it is so difficult to find good Pad Thai in Baltimore. Not here though. The have MASTERED the recipe. It wasn't dry with noodles sticking together like most places. It is honestly one of the best Pad Thai's I have ever had. The only complaint I do have is that I paid extra to have shrimp added to my chicken Pad Thai and was only given 3 shrimp! That is definitely an issue. If a customer is willing to pay extra for something please make it worth it. I also do not like the fact that they use brown paper boxes for to go containers/orders. Other than that, everything else was FANTASTIC. The Pad Cellophane was a nice surprise and different from what you typically find at Thai restaurants. The clear cellophane noodles, huge chunks of chicken and cherry tomatoes offering a juicy pop of brightness with each bite is dream worthy. I also love a good Pad See Eew. And again, they got it right. Not too dry and very flavorful. Everything I had on every visit was..."Chef's Kiss." Even down to their desserts. I am not a big sweets person and typically do not order desserts when I go out to eat. But reading the description of each one I just couldn't resist. And yes, they won me over! The Mango Parfait was absolutely delicious. Mango and sweet sticky rice combined with Mango ice cream...simply divine. The Lycee Cheesecake was a pleasant surprise. I forget the name of the other dessert I had, but it was another Mango flavored one and yes, that too was very good. All in all I will definitely return when I am craving good Thai food. I will happily take that one hour round trip ride to get it. If you are in the area or don't mind taking a ride I would definitely recommend you give them a try if you are craving some authentic, delicious Thai food. You will not regret it!!

The restaurant is small but cute inside, and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I ordered the beef skewers, shrimp summer rolls, shrimp fried rice, and a shrimp salad. My food was ready within the quoted 15-20 minutes, which I appreciated. Once I got everything home, I dug right in. The shrimp salad was incredible! It came with a small container of dressing (I believe it was fish sauce), and it absolutely packed a punch with flavor. I'll definitely be coming back just for this salad. The beef skewers came with two skewers served over a bed of noodles. The beef was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the shrimp fried rice, which was delicious. The rice was well-seasoned, and they were very generous with the shrimp. The shrimp summer rolls were fresh and tasty, although I wish the peanut sauce on the side had a little more spice. That's really my only minor suggestion. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered. The portions were very generous, the food was fresh and flavorful, and it was exactly the kind of healthy, satisfying meal I was looking for. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
