    Pad See Ew with Beef
    Aaron N.

    I really want to love this place. The inside of the restaurant is such an aesthetic vibe. Whether with family or friends, this place would especially be a place to bring a date to. However, and a BIG however, is that the food is hit or miss here. Usually pad thai is a good standard test to tell how good a thai restaurant is. When I ordered pad thai during my first visit, I was sorely disappointed. It looked amazing, but tasted meh. I also ordered an order of their chicken satay and the chicken was very dry. And when you throw in that my waitress stared at me oddly whenever she came by to check on me, you can definitely say that my first impression was not a positive one. However, really wanting to like this place, I went back to give it another try. The aesthetic vibe was too good to dismiss this place so quickly. Long story short, the second try redeemed this review quite a bit. I ordered a Pad See Ew with beef and it was SO delicious! Even the fresh rolls were tasty and presented beautifully. Their thai tea is also good and the different waitress was also a lot friendlier. So, I'm not sure about this place. It's by no means amazing, especially when you're used to really good thai food in other big cities, but it's not horrible either. And this seems to be my experience with other thai restaurants I've had in Spokane. As a Thai restaurant, how can you get pad thai wrong? Maybe it's tailored to the local taste? Regardless, the food here is a hit or miss depending on what you order.

    My brother took us here for dinner the other night. Place is huge, the decorations were neat, ambiance was warm and inviting. We got seated fast. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We had the lettuce wraps for an app - not bad, very flavorful, veggies were fresh Entree - green curry, papaya salad, pad see ew, and drunken noodles. The green curry was great!! It was Rick and cream with a ton of chicken. Papaya salad was fresh and had a slight kick. The drunken noods were pretty good. I wasn't too fond of the pad see ew. It was very saucy and had cabbage it. I've had this dish in many Thai restaurants. This is the 1st I saw had cabbage and be this saucy. Overall experience was good. Definitely would recommend to 1st timers

    No more updates after this! Had lunch recently and I have to give kudos to the cook for the best Pad Thai I've had in Spokane. Perfect!

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Leah K.

    I got their chicken pad thai to go and it was very good! I have been on a search for the best Thai food in Spokane and I think this spot is definitely better than most. I got a 3 for spice level and it felt more like a 2, so next time I will jump to 4 on the spice level. I got my meal without peanuts just fyi!

    Chicken Satay
    Shana C.

    The best Thai food! We don't have a lot of Thai options at home so we were excited to get some delicious, authentic Thai food while in town! Our bartender was very friendly. The ceiling in the restaurant is really unique, definitely check it out! Look up! We tried the chicken satay, Two Friends and Chicken Phad Thai. Everything was delicious!

    Their ceiling matched my sweater

    After visiting many Thai restaurants, Thai Bamboo is unquestionably the best. The food is incredibly authentic and delicious. The Pad Thai and the grilled salmon are must-tries--bursting with fresh flavors and perfect spices.

    I give this N Division location 3.5 stars. It's just not a 4, based on the food. I'll say this...it's a 5 for ambiance and service. The staff were attentive and friendly. My server checked back often. I love how fun the vibes are here. Almost like a tiki bar. It's such a fun spot and can accommodate a large group or party. Sometimes, that's what you are looking for, and this place would get 5 stars for sure. Now, let's talk about the food. It's just not that special. The appetizer was supposed to be a garlic sauce with green beans and snow peas. I expected to have garlic breath, but I didn't. I'm thinking of a rich and decadent garlic sauce, but instead, it was a little overcooked and not enough garlic flavor. My Panang Curry was boring because it didn't have a vegetable besides red bell peppers. Most Panang comes with green beans and your choice of protein. I chose tofu, and it was a soft tofu, not a fried tofu. I prefer my tofu to have a solid texture. This just wasn't that style. The curry itself with the coconut milk was delicious. It was a perfect level 4 of spice and so creamy and delicious. I added my appetizer of green beans and snow peas to my curry to help bring it up a notch. That helped, but it's expensive to have to do that. It was expensive for the portion size. I only tried those two dishes, so my rating is based on these. I'll come back if I'm with a group and try a fried rice dish. The intention here is awesome. I just didn't fall in love with my dish in comparison to other Thai in town.

    I wish the food tasted as good as this place looked. I heard the one in the valley is better but I am not really interested in giving that location a try after this. The outside of the building looks interesting and the starry sky ceiling inside is beautiful. That's all for the good. The food was a bit expensive and didn't taste good. First-time customer here so I played safe and got Pad Thai. I am not a Thai food expert but their Pad Thai confused me. It didn't look like a Pad Thai to me nor did it taste like one. Everything we ordered was Americanized and greasy. A Thai restaurant can't make Pad Thai right is like the big M can't make their burgers right. There are better options in Spokane for Thai food.

    Wow! This is going to be a fun review…read more.. Stay tuned. You want good food. Do you want food that is authentic to its culture. Do you want a Thai dish cooked by a Thai chef. You found the place. Not just that, the help is wonderful. The Thai woman that served me was precious. And the Caucasian gentleman was very nice. Beautiful ambience. See my pictures. And did you see the picture of the food? Totally delicious. I visited Thailand one month ago. I have a Thai fiancé that took me to all the good restaurants. She lives there, she's a chef herself, she knows the good food, and she took me there. So, what I'm saying, I know good Thai food first hand. What I must say about the food I had here today, is it was delicious, it was spicy, and it was authentic. I ate it like a champ. With a spoon and fork, the Thai way. I made it a spicy as I wanted with the included Thai spicy sauce. I practically poured it on my food. I drank a lot of water ... I can say with almost 100% certainty that the rest of the food is good. I say this because, the restaurant opens at 11AM. There were people waiting at the door to get in before 11AM and by the time I sat down, the restaurant was filling up with people. There were orders being taken out by customers calling on the phone. It was busy. That should give you an indication of the quality of the food. I am so happy at the fact that I am able to bring my Thai fiancé to this restaurant once she becomes a citizen. The legal way, lol ...

Dumplings - generous sized shumai type dumpling. Chicken Sauté - tender & flavorful. Drunken Noodles - excellent! Yakisoba Noodles - bright & colorful! Crab Fried Rice - delicious with real crab! Kuay Tiew Koua - outstanding! Thai House Beef (this was extremely disappointing - only thing we wouldn't order again: undercooked raw veggies & 3 small underwhelming slices of beef buried under a pile of some type of pepper mixture). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and definitely will return!

The first time we went here all was great. The second time me went we felt uncomfortable like we were a burden to have there. We asked if she wanted us to go somewhere else since they seemed slammed and short staffed. She just replied dejectedly " no, it's fine. We won't get out of here on time anyway." Yikes! Gave it a final chance tonight and similar experience. Our food came out at way different times, we didn't have the silverware we needed or plates to mix our food with the rice. I had to improvise because no one ever came to check on us even once and after just sitting there we finally just went to the front to pay because no one ever brought us our bill (same thing that happened the time before). I don't expect people to come running the second they suspect we want the check, but sitting there for like 15 minutes after eating clearly done and ready to leave while people close down the restaurant around us without ever once looking in our direction is just strange. If the owners are trying to save money by having literally one person wait on the entire busy restaurant, they need to know that the opposite is happening and it is causing them to lose customers who love the food and atmosphere. Too bad.

Exposed brick walls, bronzish art pieces, warm lighting--it feels stylish without trying too hard ( did not know restaurant is 30 years old) I was joining after a run, so I was probably a little underdressed . The general vibe is chic-casual, but I still felt completely comfortable and welcomed. My host was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the meal. I ordered the hanging tenderloin medium rare based on her recommendation, and she was also more than happy to add some greens on the side when I asked. I really appreciate that Mizuna makes a point of using vegetables from local farms. The dish almost reminded me of something you might get at a traditional Lyonnaise restaurant, but with a more modern and refined touch. The beet salad, though, was a piece of art. I would honestly come back just for this dish. The beets had an almost candied quality without being overly sweet, and they worked beautifully with the freshness of the mint and the creamy chèvre mousse. Fantastic balance of flavors and textures. Great atmosphere, genuinely warm hospitality, and food that feels thoughtful without being overly complicated. Mizuna was a really enjoyable surprise.

She remembered details from earlier in the conversation, kept the energy upbeat, and handled a small mix-up with our order with total grace and a smile. That kind of poise is rare.
