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.

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

Here it is in English, keeping it under the limit: "Spent $175, got 2 wrong dishes (pork instead of beef, very spicy). Called to complain, staff was rude. Lost loyal customers. Never again."

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.

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.

Spicy Thai Bamboo

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.

Got home and 3 OUT OF 4pieces of fish were over cooked and the 4th was old and twice as dark fried as the other 3 cooked pieces, the only thing good was the slaw. Had to trash the fish and the fries! Waste of $15.99 plus tax. So disappointed we go about 1 to 2 times a month and have never had a bad meal. Was not sure if I was going to write Hooked off and not Post, but decided Management needs to be aware Never a problem with their grilled fish plates and have order thr fish and chips before and it was good.

First Visit -- Disappointing Experience…read more We came in last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived--there was only one other party of two. Our party of 10 was the largest group there, yet the service was still very slow and disorganized. I ordered six seafood platters, and I was honestly surprised by the portion sizes. When I hear "seafood platter," I expect something substantial, especially based on my experience at other seafood restaurants. Here, each platter was served on a large oval plate but contained just about enough food for one person. Each platter was supposed to come with rice or fries, but our side dishes did not arrive until we were more than halfway through our meal. I also had to remind the waiters twice about a refill of water for our pitcher after I had already requested it. The temperature inside was another major issue. The restaurant felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. There were only two industrial fans blowing air toward the middle of the room rather than toward the patrons, leaving our entire party sweating in the corner. The bathroom was even worse--it felt like a sauna with little to no air circulation. The service continued to be poorly timed throughout the meal. We were already about two-thirds finished eating before the buckets that are typically provided at the beginning of a seafood meal were brought to the table. These buckets are intended for trash and shells, so by the time they arrived, we had already been managing our shells and waste without them. Then came the bill. A 2.5% surcharge was added to our check. This was not listed anywhere that I saw on the restaurant's website, and it was never mentioned by the waitstaff. I only noticed it when reviewing the receipt. The digital receipt states: "to maintain our food quality and to improve services a 2.5% surcharge will be added to every check." I found that explanation particularly frustrating. Why should customers be charged an additional percentage specifically to fund improvements to the restaurant's food quality and service? Those are things I would expect to be included in the prices already being charged. There was also a discrepancy with the large-party gratuity. The restaurant's website states that an 18% gratuity is added for parties of six or more, yet I was charged 20%. I took a timestamped screenshot of the website showing the 18% policy and have attached it along with a copy of my receipt so customers can see the discrepancy for themselves. Finally, they were unable to print a receipt. The waiter had to figure out how to send the receipt to me by text. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We came in hoping to celebrate my daughter's birthday and enjoy a nice meal together. Instead, we experienced inadequate portions, delayed side dishes, repeated requests for basic service, an uncomfortably hot dining room, poorly timed table service, an undisclosed surcharge, and a gratuity discrepancy between the website and our actual bill. I always try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, especially when visiting for the first time. But with a party of 10 and a bill reflecting both a 2.5% surcharge and 20% gratuity, I expected a much higher level of service and transparency. I would strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully and comparing it with the restaurant's posted policies before paying.

It's a small hole in the wall place. It's cute, but don't expect a fine dining restaurant experience. They're currently advertising Dungeness crab at $23 per pound, but you don't know how much your piece weighs. Mine ended up costing almost $70, and it was definitely not worth it. That didn't include any sides either, I had to pay extra to add corn and potatoes. I also ordered garlic bread on the side, and it was the worst garlic bread I've ever had. It was soft, soggy, and had absolutely no crunch to it. The kids' chicken tender meal only came with two very small pieces of chicken. I was expecting more for the price. There was only one staff member serving the entire restaurant, and you could tell she was getting overwhelmed. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant experience, and for spending almost $200, I did not leave satisfied.
