I just ordered to-go for the first time from Bamboo Bistro. The woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and welcoming. Although I didn't sit in the restaurant to eat, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere felt calm and quiet when I walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered 1* Chicken Pad Thai ($15) - absolutely delicious with a good amount of chicken! The amount of spice is perfect, since I'm a novice spice person. I would recommend! read more

New owners! We've been here several times prior with the previous owners and were so excited to check them out again under new ownership! So glad that we did. We went on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy. The woman who owns and runs it was so sweet & really worked hard serving several tables, assisting her husband who prepares all the food fresh and to order. We also met her husband who was equally so nice. The food - AMAZING! Awesome vegan options! Everything was fresh and piping hot. The flavors were incredible. They have several condiments on the table if needed. We can't wait to go back! Support this local business and remember that they're new owners and working out the quirks. Service may be slower due to that but it's sooo worth the wait! read more

We went for lunch on a Monday when many restaurants are closed, and I'm so glad we did! It was a cold and cloudy day and I was craving a big hot steamy bowl of pho, and I happened to be in the Westbrook area, and Bamboo Bistro was open so why not try it. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was very fresh and steaming hot when it arrived at our table. My friend got the lo mein noodles with chicken and veggies, and I got the beef pho with rare steak. The lo mein was beautiful...the veggie colors were so bright...maybe because it was a dark cloudy day the veggies colors stood out so vibrantly...not sure, but check out the picture...the plate of noodles and veggies is beautiful. The pho came with the usual accompaniments of fresh herbs, lime, jalapeño, and bean sprouts. The broth was very flavorful, the noodles were plentiful, and the bowl the large! I ate all the noodles but couldn't finish the broth...it was just too much. I also did t eat all the steak...it was a little tough...could have been shaved thinner and been more tender. Despite the steak it being perfect, I really enjoyed the pho...it scratched the pho craving perfectly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor in the restaurant is simple, big windows make the place nice and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was country music playing which didn't exactly fit the ambiance, but I didn't mind it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely go back. read more

Thank you! I've been looking for a place that can satisfy my Pad Thai craving; this is the place! Pad Thai is the dish I've missed the most since going vegan. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now; so happy I finally did! I had the vegan tofu Pad Thai, vegetable Pad Thai, drunken noodles, and veggie rolls still need to try the dumplings, BBQ chicken and more! They cater to everyone and have a vegan menu with a good amount of options, wonderful and knowledgeable employees and delicious food! Everything I've had has been delicious!!! I'm so happy this place exists! Also note the appearance of the vegan Pad Thai is different (classic presentation) before I mixed it together and ate some, also the vegan drunken noodles filled the entire container before I ate some, I couldn't wait! New favorite Thai restaurant! I will be back soon :)) read more

Outstanding! Had the veggie tofu curry. #2 heat level. Perfect for just getting the sinuses moving. Loved it! Nice vegetarian options. Wonderful server. Couldn't have been a better experience for this traveler. read more

Three of us stopped in for lunch having never heard of the place but wanting Asian food nearby to other places we needed to be. For most of the time we were the only ones there and really, every table should have been filled because the food was delicious, the waitress friendly and helpful, the surroundings simple but very pleasant. There's plenty of parking out back. But the main draw is the food. We ordered the vermicelli rice bowl which was filled with grilled chicken, carrots, lettuce, bean sprouts, tiny fried onion rings, peanuts--and it could not have been fresher or tastier. One of us ordered a mango smoothie that she said was amazing. I for one look forward to another meal at the Bamboo Bistro! read more

Not my favorite Thai place. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something was off for me. I had fried rice and chicken wings. Rice was ok, but the wings didn't have much flavor. read more

We will be back. The food is excellent and features both Vietnamese and some Thai dishes. The massaman curry, Special Fried rice, and my ramen soup were all yummy. The new owners (husband and wife team), bought Bamboo Bistro a few months ago. Very attentive and friendly service. They are from central Vietnam and the food is very authentic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is down to earth and basic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great restaurant for dine-in, take-out, or catering. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small, clean, friendly spot with plenty of off road parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was fresh, flavorful, and hot. Newly opened by very friendly young couple. Large menu selection. Will return to try the pho read more

We're not from the area and stumbled on this place and so glad we did! Great crab rangoon, excellent veggie curry and pad Thai. Also great service! Will definitely return when in the area again! read more

Take out only Thai place. I have ordered take out a few times form this place and it always good. Lots of different options and big portions. The food is always fresh and it's typically pretty quick. Also open on Mondays where a lot of other places are not. read more

Based on pretty good reviews, I ordered takeout from here last night - crab rangoons and chicken pad Thai. Crab rangoons were overfried but not too bad, but the pad Thai was some of the worst I've ever had. It just tasted of vinegar. Definitely will not be ordering from here again. read more

Best thai food take out in Maine, by far. everything is incredible. chicken pho noodle bowl, chicken rice plate, and spring rolls are my favorites, and when I get them I tear into them. this is greasy chinese foods big brother, a more healthy option and tastes better with no grease or MSG read more

This is my go to place when I don't want to cook or just want something quick and delicious! Fresh Spring RollsDumplingsPad Thai all great

I've tried this restaurant a few times. The Thai food is good, not great. The food is expensive for what you get. There is no table service any more, only to-go. I'd rather drive a bit further and get some really good Thai food. read more

Wanted to grab some takeout during these crazy times and given our love of Thai food - found these guys in Westbrook highly rated. The meatball pho and drunken noodle with chicken was amazing. I didn't even get leftovers because I couldn't stop eating it. It was very quiet and we paid ahead and called when we got there. They quickly put the food outside as soon as they saw our car. Definitely will keep giving these guys business during this hard time - more people should do the same read more

I've only eaten here once. It was takeout the day of the wind storm that took out so many people's power for days on end. The 1 star is related to my EXPLICIT allergy statement about NO MUSHROOMS, which was repeated back to me as understood; only to find mushroom THROUGHOUT my dish! If you make it clear you heard and understood my allergy concerns and request, then blatantly ignore or disregard them, placing my well being at stake, you get no further chances from me. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Bamboo Bistro. My husband and I showed up on a random Friday night, mostly on a tip that BB served quail eggs, something I happen to LOVE! We ordered a bunch of apps, like fresh spring rolls, crab rangoon, and of course, quail eggs. We loved everything. The service was also super friendly and attentive. For mains we ordered drunken noodle and a pork chop dish that was very delicious and surprisingly healthy, with fresh tomato and cucumbers! Realizing at a certain point that we would be taking most of the food we over-ordered home, we decided to go full out and try the fried banana dessert. This was a particularly great version. The banana was lightly fried, there was ice cream and a giant mount of whipped cream AND a cherry! On the way out, I noticed an upcoming special on Friday and Saturday nights. After 9, apps are half price...um...that means quail eggs are half price. Hand me the keys, i'm on my way! read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon and was immediately seated. The atmosphere was very calming and I love how cozy the place looked. The table my boyfriend and I were sitting at was wobbly so anytime we moved anything on the table, it shifted... we ordered some quail eggs for an appetizer and they were amazing ! I ordered the combo pho, and my boyfriend ordered an egg noodle soup with bbq pork slices. I would say that the pho was a bit bland for my taste, but i added a bunch of hoisin and siracha into it. The egg noodle soup had some wantons in it too which were delicious:) Overall, I'd probably come back for the quail eggs! The total came to about $40 for the two noodle soups and the quail eggs. read more

Amazing but I just wish they were open on Sunday's.. legitimately try to order from them every Sunday

I ordered delivery from here for the first time and the food was fantastic. I got the drunken noodles, fried shrimp & rice and egg rolls. The flavors were so good on everything I ate. After I ordered, the owner called me to let me know there was no more tofu - no problem & I appreciated the effort to call me. I will definitely absolutely be back to order from here, and dine-in when everything opens back up. 5 stars easily. read more

Good food. The only restaurant I've tried for pickup during COVID and their process for pickup was great - very safe.

Decided to stop in for a delicious lunch after passing this place about 15 times and being curious how it was- sure glad I did. I went in on a cold weekday late afternoon so I literally had the place to myself. I ordered the glorious shredded chicken wonton egg noodle soup. No more than 10 minutes later, I had a gigantic bowl of hot steaming goodness in front of me. The ratio of noodles to meat to vegetables was perfect, and the broth was also well done- not too salty. I loved the baby bok choy which offered a nice balance of greens in each bite. The service was friendly and fast and it was super affordable. This is a no-frills type of place but great for a group of people if you're looking for some delicious authentic eats to warm up your belly. Will definitely be back for more! read more

The drunken noodle was soooooo delicious. I am already looking forward to the next time to get it again. It has so much flavor, veggies and I love the texture of the noodles. This is by far my favorite item. The pork rice plate is ok, the crab rangoon was fried perfectly with good flavor and creamy. Service is great! The past few visits, they are always friendly and food comes pretty quickly. read more

Bamboo Bistro - Drunken noodle lunch special - Asian Fusion Near Me - Westbrook, Maine

We shared 3 dishes and all were quite tasty. The portions were generous and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. About what you would expect for a Vietnamese/Asian fusion restaurant in Westbrook... a very accessible menu and most of your standard dishes like drunken noodle, Pho, and fried rice, etc with few exotic options. The servers were friendly and fairly attentive although pretty rushed on a busy Friday night. I'd go back. read more

So delicious, I'm always traveling and ordering delivery. This was the best drunken noodle I've ever had. Tons of shrimp/veggies and a delicious sauce. I look forward to ordering from here next time I'm in town. read more

Love the place! We will be back have ordered here a few times now. My husband and I definitely enjoy it. We recommend you check it out too

I saw this place open after Siam Square closed. I had a take out order that was less than expectations. I had the fresh spring rolls and the rice wrappers were hard. Either they didn't soak them or they did and let them dry out. I threw out the wrappers and ate the contents with a fork. Disappointing. I also had the chicken wonton egg noodle soup that was enjoyable . I will give it another shot since it is right down the street but my first experience was underwhelming. read more

Probably the best spring rolls I've had in southern Maine they have all the fixings inside just like how momma makes em

My wife and I were visiting from New York City for the week and seeking some solid Asian take out cuisine. Bamboo Bistro did not disappoint!! We LOvED our food. Delivery to our hotel was super quick. When back in the Portland, Maine area we will definitely will order from this hidden gem again!!! read more

Have eaten in and taken out numerous times always good and worth coming back for; fresh ingredients and gluten free options

Our best experience yet in Portland! Bamboo Bistro is actually in Westbrook, a bedroom community to Portland, but definitely worth finding! We have been wanting to find great Thai food in the area - something that had eluded us outside of Auburn. One reason we love Thai food is that it is easily vegan-vegetarian friendly and our experience here did not disappoint. We started with the fresh spring rolls, shared the Asian Coleslaw, and our entrée was the Wok Stir-Fried Cashew Nut dish; hubby had his with tofu and I with extra vegetables. We both ordered "medium" spicy and thought it was perfect. It seemed like they were still figuring out how to handle that evening's volume of traffic, but it was worth the short wait. This has made our previously favorite downtown vegan-friendly Asian restaurant in Portland proper a close, but nonetheless, second favorite! read more

Love Bamboo Bistro! I always get the vermicelli noodles. The tofu is perfectly fried and the flavors are excellent. My partner always gets pad thai, also so yummy! All the appetizers we have tried have also been great. The staff is always in a great mood when we go in - such a pleasant experience! read more

Easily the best place for authentic Vietnamese/Thai food in Westbrook. Where they lack in decor, they far more than make up for with quality and flavor. If you take the time to speak to the staff, you'll also find that they're tremendously friendly and accommodating to any dietary needs or restrictions. I would highly recommend stopping in if you've yet to. read more
