    Sweet and Sour Classic Stir Fry with chicken

    i've heard of this place and it's been on my list for a while. Finally had the time to go. I got the classic chicken stirfry with the sweet-and-sour option. It was so good. Probably some of the best I've had. I would definitely be back.

    Bamboo Leaf is a somewhat small Thai restaurant in Bradley Beach. Therefore, expect to sit pretty closely to other tables near you. We were lucky to have a table near the window. The thing I loved about Bamboo Leaf is that it's BYOB. I made sure to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner. I ended up ordering one of my favorite Thai dishes...Drunken Noodles. It didn't take long for us to receive our food after ordering, which was a plus. The food was nice and hot when it arrived as well. Another plus. I absolutely loved my food. I practically cleaned the plate. This was definitely a popular spot on a Friday night, so expect a bit of a wait before being seated at a table. We didn't have to wait too long though and the food is definitely worth the wait. I'll definitely return.

    The wait wasn't too long for a Friday night. Was recommended this place by two other a Yelpers and it didn't disappoint. The portions were huge but it was soooo good that I finished it all instead of taking half home. The vegetables in my Pad See Ew still had bite and I loved that! There was enough sauce that the noodles didn't soak it all up after a few minutes. It was just REALLY good! We got a corner seat by the window so we could still hear each other but it was still really loud with all the other patrons. But hey, it was a Friday night so what else would one expect. In any case, I'd go back in a heartbeat. And order the same thing over and over and over again! It was THAT good!

    Food is delicious. Service was good. You must try for yourself. it was delicious that they put the rice separate so can put more rice in or less rice to your liking

    IF YOURE READING THIS JUST GO!!! This is the best Thai food you'll ever have! Everything on the menu is delicious and fresh. We had the Tom yum and Tom Kah soup to start and then had Ginger stir Fry and Pad see Ew! I've also had the chicken satay, pad Thai, chicken curry dumplings, and fried rice: you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Service is great and BYOB! My fav restaurant in Monmouth county.

    Great news! Bamboo Leaf is now open for indoor dining and very soon for outdoor dining (just waiting for chairs that have been ordered). We have picked up take out for the past few years. Last eve, we ate here early 530 to 630 pm. The ambiance has changed a bit, still charming. Jean was our very attentive waitress. Don't forget to BYOB! Consider that you will be saving a lot of money: that $10. bottle of wine might cost you $30. or more in a restaurant that serves alcohol - add tax and tip, it is $40. (you just LOST $30). The food is as delicious as ever. Also, the portions are large and prices are reasonable. We started with Vegetable Spring Rolls, then for entrees had Pad See Ew with shrimp and Basil Fried Rice with seafood. Then, we got a takeout for a friend of Pad See Ew with pork. Everyone was very pleased with their meals.

    Cashew Nut Classic Stir Fry Panang Curry Pad Key Mao Drunken Noodles

    Have came here more times since before, and the pad Thai and curries are so good they make up for the cashew nut stir fry being just okay. Definitely some of if not the best overall Thai restaurant I've been to.

    Why is no one answering the phone?

    Sometimes they just don't. Sometimes I keep calling and they eventually answer, but the other night I tried ordering from them and called 5 or 6 times and no answer, finally I just gave up and got dinner somewhere else.

My go-to and my kid's favorite is the chicken Pad Thai. I like that you can choose your spice level including no spice, and their mild is actually mild while still making things interesting. My husband liked the Green Curry Chicken, and my daughter loves the Chicken Laab (or Larb), which is super tasty ground chicken with fish sauce and bright lime flavors over greens. The entree portions are huge. An entree with rice can easily stretch into two or three meals for me, which is always a win. The only miss was the Mango with Sticky Rice. The mango was ripe, sweet, and tender, but the rice was a little hard and clumped together. Still, Thai Mama is quick, generous, and tasty enough that it has earned a spot in our takeout rotation.

Inside, the decor is beautiful and polished with Vietnamese straw hats and taxi bikes. There's plenty of tables and only few customers. We were quickly greeted by two staff by the door and got seated with menus. I noticed the karaoke stand and stage, but there was no one singing at the time so they must have karaoke on certain occasions or time. We looked at the menu and it looked pretty impressive. When we were ready to order, no staff are around. Five minutes later, our waitress showed up and took our orders. For appetizers, we had the mini crepes and my entree, vermicelli special which included grilled pork and shrimps and a spring roll. The crepes were a bit undercooked and it's not as crispy as it should be. I was also a bit disappointed with my entree. The vermicelli noodles were overcooked so the noodles were broken into smaller strands. The fish sauce was pretty bland. I really wanted to like this place but sadly it was a letdown. I would rate this really 2.5 stars but our waitress was nice so feeling generous here with 3 stars. I'm not sure if we will ever come back. My husband was also disappointed with his entree. We have our fair share of Vietnamese food so we know good authentic cooks when we try a dish. I guess it was also a tale tell sign when the restaurant didn't have much customers on Valentine's Day.

When we started eating, something seemed off with the food. The taste and smell weren't quite right, but we initially gave the benefit of the doubt. Shortly after, my pregnant wife became sick and started vomiting, which made it clear something wasn't right. I called the restaurant to explain what happened and requested a refund given the situation. Instead of handling it professionally, I was passed between multiple people, each one dismissing the concern. I was told "that's not how refunds work" and that they had "been serving it all day," as if that ruled out any issue. The final person I spoke with was especially unprofessional. He was immediately aggressive, dismissive, and more interested in arguing than listening or taking the situation seriously. I usually go out of my way not to leave negative reviews because anyone can have a bad day. But the way this was handled from the immediate defensiveness, the lack of concern, and the dismissal of a pregnant woman getting sick was honestly alarming. The reaction almost felt rehearsed, which raises even more concern about how situations like this are handled or how often they encounter them. I would be very cautious ordering from here.
