    Pad woon sen
    Daph H.

    After reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant to try Thai Bamboo. I finally broke down and can say that it was better than I expected. Ordered a couple of lunch specials for takeout and when I arrived, I was surprised to see the restaurant was packed for lunch! The lunch specials come with a salad and the non-noodle lunches also include steamed rice. My veggie pad woon sen ($15) did not look like any pad woon sen that I've ever had. The noodles were much thicker and brown - as opposed to thin rice noodles that I'm used to. There wasn't much flavor to the dish either. The noodles for the pad see ew ($15) were much thinner than normal and the dish lacked that "wok hei" flavor that you get with a great pad see ew. On the positive side, the portions were generous. If I return, I'll try my luck with one of the curries.

    This is not what I would say a go to Thai place. But if you have a craving for Thai and it's close then this place is satisfactory. I got the curry and it was solid and my coworker got the glass noodles which I snuck a bite and it was decent.

    THAI BAMBOO BISTRO in Irvine, CA

    If you've been following my reviews here as a Yelp Elite Squad bugaboo, you know how I Iove trying out new places to see if they meet my 'G Spots for Your Next Date' list (G stands for 'Great', in case your minds are in the gutter folks hah!) SERVICE Excellent. Greeted us right in and my girlfriend happened to grab a great table where we had a little bit of privacy FOOD Loved my creamy coconut chicken dish. It came with rice but I really didn't need it cuz the dish was so tasty yet good enough to eat it like soup. (did I just say 'eat' your 's-o-u-p???) I have one request to the Business Owner. Can you add COKE ZERO SUGAR or PEPSI ZERO SUGAR to your list of Beverages? You'll make more sales especially from peeps like me, since replacing my good old regular sugar-riddled lemonade with Coke ZERO helped me lose 30 lbs! thank you for the applause! Haha PARKING Loved it. No need to walk down flights of stairs from poorly lit, grubby parking structures. You park your car right in front of the restaurant and you're good to go. AMBIANCE Would I recommend this for your next Date? I'm giving you a resounding YES! Cost effective enough for those of you on a budget, the place looks pretty decent inside. Love the modern, hanging pendants and the warm lighting doesn't cast a hint of wrinkled shadows under my eyes, so that comes in handy during your Date. Ladies, no need to wear your high heels here, super casual jeans and denim jackets work perfectly. Will I come ‍ back? You bet I would! See you soon!

    Fried tofu with Peanut Sauce
    PT H.

    The service was very good and so does the ambiance. Personally I thought the food were delicious however it's on the high end. The noodles was supposed to have eggs in it but I couldn't see any. Overall I enjoyed everything and would come back again.

    Yummy spring rolls - hot, fresh & crisp
    Leigh P.

    My friend & I came here after a long hike. We started with the spring rolls - which were absolutely delicious! Fresh, crisp & crunchy. I ordered the Massaman Curry - OHMYGOSH - it was so good! It was flavorful without being too spicy. It was a generous portion - which I finished the next day. I'm bringing my boyfriend here because he smelled my leftovers & was hurt that I wouldn't share (because it's that good)

    Panang Chicken
    Emmett F.

    Nice clean place, friendly staff, good foo, ample servings. The chicken Penang is not the best I've ever had but it's not bad. The Tom Yum soup is good.

    Chicken satay
    Sajeet S.

    We have lived in the area for years and have been coming from here for years. We did take out today. We are right away Unfortunately this was our most disappointing experience. The chicken satay was rubbery. The peanut sauce was good but nothing special. The pad Thai was mushy. Overcooked Basil beef. The favor was good but the beef was rubbery and tasted boiled and recooked. Hence 2 stars not 5. The red curry with chicken 3-4 stars. 5 star for being ready fast. Quick service. We could have ordered from DoorDash for the same price and had a better experience unfortunately. I know because even with the fees we would be at the same price with DoorDash pass.

    Ginger chicken
    Angela C.

    I was in the area and decided to get takeout and boy was it hugely disappointing. The coconut milk soup was really gritty and seemed like it was a powder that someone was too lazy to stir completely, it didn't taste good at all. I also got ginger chicken and it tasted like someone spilled a bag of sugar and a bottle of soy sauce over month old chicken. I had to throw it all away. The ginger didn't even have any ginger flavor whatsoever.

    Packages order
    Steph G.

    My office was desperate for a last-minute lunch place during the holidays. We weren't able to order online because of the size of the order so we took it in and where it helped right away. We pick the order up the next day for 11 people +2 appetizers. Each entrée had its individual name written on it along with the rice which made passing them out easy. The food was extremely well packaged. It had all of the condiments and utensils we needed. The female manager/server with dark hair was so friendly when we picked it up. I think she was happy to have our large order overall. I ordered the lemongrass chicken level five spicy with a side of white rice. Other people in my party ordered cashew vegetables, yellow curry, red curry spice level six, papaya salad, Thai fried rice, Tom Yum soup, and veggie and chicken spring rolls. All of the food was delicious. Very good portions. Very good value overall. We definitely will order again. I thought the food had overall good flavor good spice level etc. the meat dishes had plenty of chicken or beef. the basil tofu looked amazing. Overall, our office was also impressed. There is a small dining room plus outdoor seating.

    This spot was great! We didn't have a to wait a long time and the space was very spacious :)…read more We ordered their version of hainan. And the beef rice bowl! Honestly it was good and the portion did fill me up! Servers were amazing and understanding! I can't wait to go back and try more food here :)

    Well, I guess it was bound to happen. While my food adventures in OC have largely been successful,…read moreit was inevitable that I'd end up coming across a place that so many folks like that just didn't hit the mark for me. However, I never would've thought that place was going to be Siam Station. After hearing good things about their spot in Cupertino/the Bay Area from several friends, it felt rather fortuitous when we randomly came across their original location - and with no line in sight! Inside, they've got a cozy sort of vibe and it's cool how they have some outdoor tables set-up as well. As for the menu, it didn't seem all that extensive at a glance, but it has all of the staples you'd expect to find among their appetizers, soups, salads, fried rice, stir fried noodles, noodle soups, curry dishes, entrees, and desserts. -- ZESTY WINGS - Deep Fried Chicken Wings Topped with Crispy Basil and Served with Chili Sauce Easily our favorite dish of the night. The wings were really crispy on the outside and oh so juicy on the inside. Even though there wasn't much of the sauce, which was flavorful but not that spicy, it was fine - the wings were still great without it. -- KHAO SOI with Chicken - Yellow Curry Broth with Egg Noodles and Chicken and Served with Red Onions, Lime, and Pickles Ehh...this was okay, I guess. On the plus side, the chicken was tender and I thought the broth was pretty good - not the best I've had, but better than most. That said, I didn't love the egg noodles, especially the crispy ones after they had soaked up the broth. -- PAD KEE MOW (Drunken Noodles) with Crispy Pork - Flat Rice Noodles Stir Fried with Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce, Bell Peppers, Tomato, Sweet Onion, and Thai Basil I was super excited for this, but it was disappointing. The first thing we noticed was how pale it was and, sadly, the taste matched. Whether it be their garlic sauce or some chilis, this needed more. As for the pork, it was definitely crispy, but a few pieces bordered on dry/burnt. -- MANGO STICKY RICE A little hit, a little miss. The mango was fine (decently sweet, soft), but the sticky rice left us a little wanting. Mainly, I didn't love the glob of coconut cream, was it was pretty thick and viscous, which gave the rice a weird texture/coating to it. As far as service goes, it was uneventfully good. Although there was one point where it was hard to hail someone, it was mostly because the restaurant got increasingly busy and one of the servers was trying to help a group sort something out with their order. Otherwise, our food came out relatively quick and the workers were rather efficient with everything. Despite how we left feeling bummed out by our experience, it had more to do with being underwhelmed than the food actually being "bad". Admittedly, we came in with high hopes/expectations from all of the hype we had heard and it probably didn't help that we had gone to Manaao the night before, which is one of my favorite Thai restaurants anywhere. What's more, I wonder if we just didn't get the best that Siam Station has to offer. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to coming back to find out (and potentially writing an update), but perhaps I'll just try my luck at their spot in Cupertino that my friends like so much.

This ended up being one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time -- not just because of the food and drinks, but because of the PEOPLE. The hospitality here is truly next level. We checked into Hanuman and were told the wait would be about 50 minutes. The hostess was incredibly kind and let us know we were welcome to wait outside, sit in the waiting chairs, or head next door to ETC Bar since they had a full bar. Best decision ever. The second we walked into ETC, everyone was so welcoming. We sat at the bar and met the sweetest mixologist, Jada, who completely made our night. She recommended two drinks: "Bangkok to Thailand" and "Duh It's Mango." Both were AMAZING. "Bangkok to Thailand" was exactly the flavor profile I wanted -- technically a mocktail, but Jada added tequila for me and OMG... the tamarind sweetness was unreal. It honestly tasted like Bangkok in a cup. "Duh It's Mango" literally tasted like sticky rice and mango turned into a cocktail. I don't know how they do it, but it was incredible. We ended up coming back for seconds because the drinks were that good. While we were there, the owner (I believe she was the owner) came over to check on us after finding out we were the party of 6 waiting for Hanuman next door. She asked how we liked the drinks and we found out SHE created the cocktail menu herself, which honestly made the experience even cooler. Back at Hanuman, the hostess continued to go above and beyond. I'm so sad I didn't catch her name because she was genuinely one of the most thoughtful hostesses I've ever met. We were standing there holding all our drinks and she literally brought over a bench/table just so we'd have somewhere to place them. She smiled and said, "Just so your hands don't get cold." That small gesture stuck with me because it showed how much they truly care about their customers. It wasn't something she had to do -- she just wanted us comfortable. Then somehow the service got EVEN BETTER. We went back to ETC for another round while waiting and they told us they could actually seat us there and Hanuman would bring the food over. At that moment I genuinely thought... wow. This place gets hospitality. They made us feel valued the entire night. Now let's talk FOOD. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. The fried chicken appetizer with sticky rice was insanely good, and I loved that our waiter took the time to explain exactly how to eat it -- dipping the sticky rice into the fried garlic/onions and sauce combination. That bite was unforgettable. The Thai sausages were also amazing and came with two different varieties that were both packed with flavor. For mains we ordered: - Chicken curry - Shrimp fried rice - Papaya salad - Tom kha soup - Shrimp pad Thai The tom kha soup was SO flavorful and comforting. The shrimp fried rice with salted egg was addicting. The shrimp pad Thai was honestly one of the best pad Thai dishes I've had in a very long time. The chicken curry had the perfect balance of richness, spice, and flavor. The papaya salad could've had a little more spice for my preference, but it was still delicious. I was lowkey heartbroken they ran out of sticky rice for dessert, but honestly the desserts completely redeemed everything. The Thai tea crème brûlée was RIDICULOUSLY good -- the flavor was unreal. We also ordered the fried bananas with ice cream and that was another perfect ending to the meal. Tbh I was sad when I asked for another crème brûlée to go and the waiter said it wasn't doable. Huge shoutout to our waiter as well who gave us great recommendations throughout the night and made everything feel fun and welcoming. This wasn't just dinner. This was one of those experiences where you leave genuinely impressed by how much effort a restaurant puts into making people feel taken care of. Hanuman and ETC Bar x Thaizakaya absolutely nailed it from start to finish. We'll 1000% be back.

I definitely wish that was more explicitly stated as the surrounding area and crowd, especially coming later in the evening, can be a toss up. I would reccomend delivery--as it seemed there were lots of DoorDash individuals! Again wish they stated that. Second, our food said it would be done and ready for pick up at 9:45. It wasn't, and we ended up waiting another 20 ish minutes. Because it's take-out style and not customer service based when your order isn't done when they say it will be --there's no one to talk to which poses another issue. Though not our first choice we wanted to try it out considering the place is open until 1am and had good reviews and nothing too specific (so here I am :)). We've had all kinds of Thai and the food quality was around low average--definitely not worth the hassle and wouldn't come again. $40 for two noodle dishes without delivery. The Pad Se-Ew was okay with a weird after taste and the PadThai was lacking flavor and sauciness? It was very dry and bland. Could be good in a midnight Thai food craving pinch if delivered. Overall it's a no from us. Bumped up one star because they gave us a nice note and chip bag, that was kind! TLDR; It's a takeout-only spot in a shared kitchen (not clearly advertised), pickup felt sketchy late at night, and the order was ~20 min late with no staff to talk to. Food was below average--Pad See Ew had a weird aftertaste, Pad Thai was dry and bland. $40 for two noodle dishes, not worth it. Might be okay only for late-night delivery in a pinch.

That being said, I still love the little store and the neon signs they have hanging remind me of the street food scenes when I travelled to asia. The vibe of the place is really chill yet at the same vibrant and bustling like how it would be if you were at a street food stall. The crying tiger is hands down my favorite pick of the night and the yellow curry with roti is unforgettable. The meat was perfectly cooked and paired wonderfully with the sauce which was tangy and cut through the fattiness of the meat beautifully. Perfectly savory and sweet, curry balences out with crispy roti and I also topped it on my rice as well. The waitresses were sweet and consistently check in on us too. The quality has not changed and is still easily one of my top picks for when I'm craving Thai food.

    Ordered takeout from this place. They had our order out quickly and it was still hot when we got…read morehome. We got the combination fried rice, pad thai with crispy pork, pineapple curry with chicken. Combination Fried Rice- The rice had a nice garlicky taste and it was loaded with pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Perfectly seasoned too. Pad Thai with Crispy Pork- The noodles were soft and chewy and the sauce was a lovely combination of sweet and tangy. The crispy pork added a later of texture and flavor. Pineapple Curry with Chicken- The curry was bursting with flavor! The pineapple chunks added a burst of sweetness and freshness to every bite. The chicken was nice and tender. Great meal overall!

    Absolutely delicious Thai food! Krua Mae Thai has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots…read morewhen I'm craving authentic flavors and comforting dishes. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. The spices, freshness, and balance in the dishes were spot on. Each bite was satisfying and full of that bold, crave-worthy Thai taste. While the curry wasn't my personal favorite (the veggies were a bit undercooked for my taste), everything else more than made up for it. From the appetizers to the stir fry, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service was friendly and quick, and the owner/chef is always welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Thai food. You can really taste the quality and heart in every dish!

    Some restaurants you try once. Some you like for a season…read more And then there are the rare ones that quietly become part of your life. Thai Cafe falls into that last category for me. I've been coming here for over 10 years, and that alone says more than any rating ever could. In a world where places change recipes, cut corners, or slowly fade, Thai Cafe has stayed exactly what it has always been consistent, authentic, and deeply comforting. It's not just a restaurant anymore, it's a tradition. My two constants: the Chicken Cashew and the Thai Basil Chicken (very little veggies, the way I always order it). Somehow, year after year, they taste exactly how your memory hopes they will. The chicken is always tender, never dry, coated in sauces that hit that perfect balance of savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic. The cashew dish has that warm, nutty richness that feels like a complete meal by itself, while the Thai basil carries that unmistakable garlic chili fragrance that instantly tells your brain: you're in the right place. And yes -- they get busy. Really busy. The wait times can absolutely get out of hand sometimes. But honestly, that almost proves the point. You don't see crowds form around ordinary food. You see them around places people trust. Places families return to. Places that have earned patience. Because when the plate finally arrives, the wait disappears. First bite, and you remember why you keep coming back after a decade. Thai Cafe is the definition of a true family owned restaurant not flashy, not trendy, just honest cooking made the same way every time, by people who clearly care about what leaves their kitchen. Some restaurants feed you for a night. This one has fed memories for years. Ten years later and it still feels like home on a plate.

    Can't wait to come back here and try more. And come during light hours to see the garden outside. I…read moreknow it's small but nice detail to add to a Thai restaurant. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We ordered shrimp egg rolls/spring rolls. Very well composed and filled with delicious ingredients. Thoroughly enjoyed them - just wish the sauce was a little bit thicker to stick to the rolls and hold the full flavor. But not a complaint. My friend had moo krob phad khanna - ate the plate clean - so definitely liked it. I had massaman chicken/ delish! Chicken/ potatoes/ carrots/ peanuts. Carrots could have been sliced smaller since we were eating with chopsticks - but the carrots were soft enough to eat. Very delicious - might even eat my leftovers b4 the night is over!! Adorable place. Well priced and good sized portions. Will definitely come again.
