Reviews for Bamboo Bistro in Corona Del Mar, CA
The food was delicious!!!!! The vegetable coconut soup was so good and creamy, with fresh crunchy vegetables. I wasn’t a fan... of this version of Pad thai since I’ve had many east coast versions but it was still very tasty! The service was mehh but thequality of food is worth for the price. Read more
Delicious ample portions, reasonably priced. Brown rice available for a small extra charge. Highly recommend the sweet and... refreshing Tropical Fruit Delight, big enough for 2 to share. Read more
Bit of a long wait, but well worth it! Good sized portions. Everything was really tasty! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, beef... curry, house special clay pot, and the seafood bird nest. Everything was well seasoned and fresh Read more
The place is really very interesting, not for nothing I was constantly called here. A curious interpretation of Vietnamese... cuisine. They don't go overboard with the fish sauce, but the shrimp salad seemed a bit dry to me. Yes, the chuca seaweed goeswell with the mint and peanuts, but in my opinion, it lacks sesame seeds.

Cute spot that has very fast service and an extensive menu. The food is good and the portions are larger. I really enjoyed the... dishes here. It’s a bit of fusion between cuisines as well as traditional and Americanized dishes. Really it’s a good way tosatisfy a number of people. I would recommend. There is a lot of curbside parking around the area. Read more
This is the best spot for foodies who are looking for innovative Asian fusion dishes. The food quality is simply outstanding! I... also love the chill vibe of this place, plus it’s incomparable customer service. Kudos!!! Read more
First time here and we really liked it. The decor inside is very traditional and ads to the experience of eating vietnamese... food. I got the "Shaken beef" plate and it was amazingly tender. the only issue I had was with their Iced tea. it was Jasmintea which is super dry and very flowery tasting. Everything else was great and we will definitely be coming back. I highlyrecommend you go outside your traditional eateries and give this place a try. Read more
The reason for the 3 stars is partly because I had to fight with the flies with our food. The flies were trying to land on our... dishes. I had to eat and wave my hand around at the same time. The table next to me had a fly flew into his thai tea andlanded on his vegetable for the pho. Their server replaced their tea and replace the vegetable for pho which was good. Thesecond reason is for the pad see ew dish. I have had this dish at various Thai restaurants and the dish is usually dry(not wetwith sauces), and not overly sweet. It is different than what I had experienced at other thai restaurants. If you prefersomething with more sauce and sweeter, this place might be for you. The egg rolls are crunchy and flavorful. The tofu andvegetables are also very tasty. I think they might have used to the same sauce for both Pad see ew and tofu and vegetablesbecause both dishes taste similar. They do offer the pickled fresh Chilli which is my fave to add a bit salty and spiciness toany dish. Again, my 3-star review is not solely based on the taste of the food, and each person has different likings. I wouldstill recommend Bamboo bistros to anyone who likes their food with sauces and a bit on the sweet side(for those dishes Iordered). My brother-in-law liked the food because he likes everything with lots of sauce and sweet.???? I also understand itis hard to control the flies because the weather is hot. This is my second time visiting. Both time because someone in myparty craves their food. I will return with someone if they want to go, and perhaps try their other dishes. I hope I can enjoymy meal fully next time and not needing to catch the flies with my chopsticks like Mr. Miyagi did.???? Read more
