    Spicy basil beef
    Peter M.

    If I go back to recall one of the first Thai restaurants I had visited when I settled in the SFV, it would be Thai Bamboo. This is another eatery that has stood the test of time. That alone should tell you that the only way that can happen is that the food got to be good. And yes, it always has been. That is a feather in the cap to the Chefs. They have a wide menu with numerous selections and mouth watering pictures of their dishes. In the good old days, I used to come here for dinner. Now, it is more for lunch. This way, I get their wonton, soup and salad too. The salad has too much peanut dressing (I think it is sauce) and I should have remembered. It destroys the salad. This time the soup was served luke warm and was diluted. The main dish, Pad Prik Khing with Beef was a knockout. The beans were well cooked and soaked, like the tender beef slices, in a thick and spicy (I asked for that) gravy. The aroma, the Thai spices, the taste was exotic. I once again, thoroughly enjoyed this dish with the steamed rice. Another memorable visit to Thai Bamboo.

    Decided to stop by for lunch during the week and it was a great experience. Parking is hit or miss with the Tesla charger station being right next to the restaurant. Staff was friendly and sat my group immediately. The Thai Coffee and Chicken Satay stand out for me. Not too loud inside the restaurant and there is outdoor seating as well. All the food came out hot and you can tell made to order. Chicken was amazing and tender.

    The Place- Pretty typical Thai decor with both indoor and outdoor seating. The Food- 1) Crying Tiger Steak- This was my favorite. 2) Spicy Eggplant- Pretty good and I would get it again. 3) Pad See Ew- I liked it but would probably get something different next time. Service- Friendly and attentive. Parking- Shares a large parking lot with many other businesses.

    I had the house special scallop and shrimp and it was quite delicious. The seafood was crunchy, juicy, and just the right amount of spice. The downside is none of the menu items come with a side of rice, I ended up wanting more after the meal. If you'd like a complete satisfying meal, get an order of rice to go along with your main course, which would generally run you up about $45 per person. They have indoor and outdoor seating and there's an EV (Tesla) charging stations in the plaza. Charge your car and eat well.

    Spent $175, got 2 wrong dishes (pork instead of beef, very spicy). Called to complain, staff was rude. Lost loyal customers. Never again."

    Pineapple curry

    I think the server was so amazing and boxed up my food, which was so nice and also just made sure that we were all good and the pineapple curry is so good and has this amazing key to it so it's like this heat and so it's really good

    Cute spot! The service was good and the food was amazing. The house special was amazing! Never had shrimp that good.

    12/31/2024 - Had lunch special. The taste is good, but the portion is small in comparison to another Thai restaurant in Porter Ranch, but the service is better. The bathroom sink is a little bit old (dirty traces on the sink). The overall ambience is average. The parking is free at Walnut Grove Shopping Center.

    I've seen this place for awhile but finally decided to try it out. It's a small restaurant with a covered patio. Nice and chill. It's also right in front of a Tesla Supercharger if you need that. You can literally eat and watch your car at the same time lol.. There are a lot of parking spots but it can get busy since there are other restaurants and stores in this plaza. But nothing too crazy. Still pretty convenient to park. I had the Chicken Yellow Curry. I like spicy food but I started with medium just cause I wasn't sure of their levels. Also so my friend could try it. Perfectly mild for my taste but definitely will try hot next time. Either way it was really good! My friend got the salt and pepper chicken. So nice and crispy with jalapeno. She had Thai ice tea which she said was really good. I had the Thai ice coffee but it was a bit too sweet for me. Next time I'll see if I can have it less sweet. The menu has pictures which made it hard to decide. They all look good! Definitely returning to try other dishes, like the house special shrimp. Our server Anthony was really nice and good at suggestions. Very pleasant. We will be returning to try the rest of the menu.

    This is my Thai restaurant go-to in SFV. I've been here many times and their dishes all have been delicious! I really like their wonton soup bc the broth is so garlicky, salty, sweet, and tasty to my soup-loving soul. They serve a good combination of veggies and meat. I also recommend their specialty Thai Bamboo rice dish which is stir fried protein of choice with a side of veggies and rice. Very delicious and filling as well. Of course, the drunken noodles are bomb here! My gauge for Thai restaurants is how well they cook their drunken noodles. They surely passed. They have good lunch combo deals too. Service is decent. Ambiance is casual. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Plentiful parking in their lot (Tesla chargers included).

    Thai Bamboo was highly recommended to us by our friends. So glad we decided to try them out. This eatery is very welcoming and bright. It has positive vibes. We love how the sun shines through the windows. The lady at the counter and our awesome waiter Anthony was excellent. Anthony even made recommendations and we were happy to oblige. We ordered the Salt & Pepper with chicken, Yellow Curry with chicken, Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. Our meals came with white rice. The yellow curry was delicious. Spicy level is medium with chunks of chicken breast. The curry is very flavorful. Glad we tried it. Salt & Pepper chicken are battered chunks of chicken breast with black pepper and salt along with jalapeño. This was very fulfilling and really good. We also enjoyed the Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. The taste of the coffee was just the right amount. It was not too sweet. Can't wait to eat here again and try other food items on their menu. Thank you Anthony and the sweet lady that took our photo. Will definitely recommend Thai Bamboo to all our family and friends.

    Door dash haul
    Micah R.

    Doordash / delivery review. Got a $100 haul of food for my birthday while I'm sick. Ordered some tried and true favorites and tried some new amazing stuff. Favorites: Tom Kha Soup: 5/5. ORDER THIS IF YOU ARE SICK (or not). The broth is creamy and tangy and loaded with veggies. My brother tried it and said: "it tastes like everything!" Which it does lol. I always feel better after I eat this. Crab Rangoons: 5/5 crispy even with delivery wait. My wife is not a fan of Thai food but said these are the best she's ever had. Great filling and perfect dipping sauce. Pad Thai: 5/5 the classic is great here. Sweet and tangy sauce. I like to get a side of their crazy awesome peanut sauce to dip the (sometimes bland) pieces of meat in. Pad See Ew: 5/5. Chewy flat big noodles in a great sauce... kind of tastes like the pad Thai sauce and American brown gravy had a baby. Packed with perfectly cooked broccoli and carrots. Great scrambled with an egg the next morning for leftovers (if available lol). New tries (in order of mind blown): Larb Salad: 5/5. The name needs an upgrade but HOLY WOW. The best way I can describe this is ground beef ceviche. It's cold and marinated in a sauce that feels like a punch to your tastebuds. Acidic, complex, and herbaceous in a way I've never had. "Cold ground beef salad" isn't a huge selling point and I didn't have high expectations when someone else said this is a must order. I will get this every time now. I got my food scissors and cut up the big pieces of cabbage to make it a more uniform salad. Would be crazy good in a lettuce cup and healthy/high protein. Yellow curry: 4.5/5. I'm not a huge fan of yellow curry with Indian food but this flavor is amazing and completely different. Deep warm spices and over the top creamy. The only downside is the chunks of potato and carrot are way too big! I made a bomb "fried rice" the next day with the chopped up leftovers. BBQ Pork Ribs: 4/5. These are over the top if your bar is oven baked ribs. If they were even kissed on the grill they would be a 5/5. I'm gonna grill my leftovers but they are still a giant, super tender rib with a unique bbq sauce.

    For the amount of money you pay, it's really not worth it. The protein you pick you hardly get any of it. The food is super bland.

We got chicken wings, scallion pancake, pork and shrimp dumplings, and pork soup dumplings. The chicken wings had a mountain of fried garlic on top of them. We didn't prefer it, but garlic lovers would love this appetizer. The scallion pancake was solid--thin and crispy with scallions throughout. The pork and shrimp dumplings were our favorite, filled with ground pork, and whole pieces of shrimp, served with an awesome sauce that brought everything together. The soup dumplings were not that great. They looked like they were steamed a bit too long, and the soup had leaked through. Would not get these again.

I took my family there recently and the food was acceptable to eat, but I would not say it was a good representation of what it used to be. The beef soup noodle was generally lacking in strong savory flavor and the noodles were overcooked. The dumplings were also lacking in flavor. For these reasons I will give Northern Cafe 3-stars. However, I must add that I am being very generous, since I do not take away stars for one incident of poor service. The service was horrendous, from the beginning to the end of the meal, it was an awful experience. To begin, there was no greeting, and this is a frequent problem. Customers are left to stand in the lobby with no direction or acknowledgement of their presence. The staff sometimes look your way to ignore you until you confront them and ask for a table, which they may not give you until you ask the right person. The server did not write down our order and forgot some of it. They never came around to check on us. The food came out in a scattered fashion. Eventually when we were finished eating, no server came to ask us if we wanted the check or any boxes to go. After getting their attention, I received the bill, but they didnt take my payment. They never came around again, I told my family to leave without me and maybe they will notice we are finished and I am holding the bill and my cars in the air. No service again for what seemed like an eternity sitting at an empty table with food I at one time wanted to take home, but now I was just desperate to get out. Eventually I catch the eye of some other staff, not my server, who never came back, and they flagged someone else from the kitchen to take care of my payment. Not surprisingly, even with all the food left on the table, they did not offer if we wanted any of it to go. The saddest part of this experience is that I used to like this place. I have a few memories here I will never forget, but these memories have nothing to do with the food or the service. For the sake of my memories I will come try this place one more time

The service was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Its located in the mall which means that you don't really get much of a vibe from this place alone but of everything surrounding.

The beef was soft and flavorful with the smaller bits of beef, which resembled ground beef, were very tasty. The soup was good overall but felt a bit too oily.

Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.
