Currently waiting at the Oakdale location. Our order was placed at 6:40 pm. We were told 20 minutes before our order would be ready for pick up. Upon arriving we find that the kitchen is backed up and other customers have been waiting for upwards of an hour for their order. I hear word that 47 door dash orders were placed in the last hour and some door dash employees are calling their customers back having to say it will be too long until they will get their order. I will say the store inside currently has 3 tables seated, 7 in-house guests total. This has never been an issue at the Maplewood location. No employee has given any updates. Not very pleased with our service tonight and Bambu has been a favorite of our family's for a number of years now. read more

Food was great, but service was ridiculous. Everyone in the place was waiting for ages at every stage of the process, including a number of unhappy food delivery drivers. Hope they get the service end of the business figured out, but we won't be back to see if they do. read more

They have really good chow fun and their pho isn't bad. The only thing I didn't enjoy was their mango boba tea...sadly I was looking forward to trying their boba tea and it was a bit disappointment. read more

This place is our go to for food. The Phó is great and is loaded with fresh ingredients. My personal favorite is their egg roll or miso soup. The interior is clean and pretty. The owner is often at the restaurant and she provides some of the friendliest service ever! read more

Nice server but very very slow service. Sticky rice is too wet and too sticky, very wrong texture. Been here about 4-5 times and they have never added spice to my dishes that I order medium and/or hot. Chicken wings had way too much breading and needed salt in the breading. Very small portions and overpriced. I ordered the bo luc lac the other day and I was in shock. That dish is generally made with cubed beef but they just used the extremely thin slices of beef used in their pho! So disappointing for $15.99! They need to take that dish off the menu, lower the price, or use cubed beef. It took 30 minutes for this dish to come out....are they cutting the meat and veggies to order or something? I don't think so. Will not be returning, sadly. We thought this was going to be our go-to spot for pho since good pho/Vietnamese food around this suburban area is lacking. read more

Bambu Kitchen & Sushi Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakdale, Minnesota

Excellent sushi!! Great service. My food was very good and better then most sushi places near here

First time. Parents had been for lunch and they liked it so much we went back for dinner! The little dumplings/wontons in the bowl of soup I had were tender and melt in you mouth delicious! The filling was so tasty! I want a bowl of just those! The Vietnamese egg roll was good, different then other places but good! The wonton soup was good and the hot sour soup was very spicy dad said and it had a lot of egg in it and was very thick. He said he wouldn't get it again. I'd try it...but looked different than others I've had. I will definitely be back and am excited to try the sushi. Prices are moderate to high...but if the food is delicious, I don't mind paying for it. The remodel was not complete yet, but for the most part the restaurant part is finished. My one weird complaint was the entrance, it's small and all mirrors...gets confusing. Other than it being in a strip mall...next to a gym...it's an ok location. I just hope people discover it. It's been pretty quiet the times I've been in... read more

30 Mins. Restaurant wasn't crowded but no one came to take our order. I don't think they even noticed when we left.

Awesome pho! So yummy! It's my favorite place to get it from. I always get one to go for later. They package it up so nice. I

Went to get some pho with my family. Didnt expect much from a pho restaurant in the suburbs. But we were surprisingly satisfy with our visit. The broth was clear and tasteful. The condiments were fresh. It was not busy during lunch time so we got our food in a decent time. The price is little bit higher than other place. A regular pho costs $10 and the jumbo $16 but simce it is in the suburbs, it is normal. Lots of choices on the menu. Will definitively go back. read more

Bambu Kitchen & Sushi Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakdale, Minnesota

See all

Super delicious! I order Pho from here a lot. There egg rolls are great too. I'm so happy they chose Oakdale as there second location!

Today is a great day for pho and this place was nearby so I decided to come give it a try. My good friend told me that this place makes pretty good pho that is comparable to most of the pho joints in the Asian neighborhoods in Saint Paul. After having a bowl I have to say I agree with him, they do make pretty good pho that is comparable to the pho in Saint Paul. But unlike those other places they serve up quite a diverse menu here, taking you all over Asia. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to try the other dishes but if they are as good as the pho here then this place would be quite special as most places that I've been to that try to make pho as well as serve a diverse menu usually fail in one aspect or another. I plan to return sometime but I would like to try their other options and see if either this place is primarily a pho place that serves up other food items or a diverse Asian restaurant that serves up a good pho. read more

Fantastic restaurant! The food is great and they safely handle our families food allergies and celiac/gluten free requirements safely. My daughter has so many allergies that I brought in our own sauce just to throw on her plain stir fry after we orders it and instead they took it back and cooked it for us. Above and beyond. read more

Should have known this place wasn't going to be a good place. The waitress had to ask us 4 times what we ordered. Food wasn't that great and the service could have been better. read more

This restaurant must be under new management. We have ordered from Bambu Kitchen a number of times and never had any complaint. Yesterday we ordered a $132. delivery order and we were terribly disappointed with the presentation, the serving size (1/2 compared to past orders) the quality of the food, lack of flavour, dry, no sauce etc. this order had chicken lettuce wraps which were made with ground chicken, the filling was slop not fresh at all. There was chicken Pad Thai with no flavour, the noodles were stuck together in a clump no moisture/sauce in this dish. Chicken was dry and inediblE. The last dishes was Mongolian Chicken again no flavour no sauce wood chips for chicken inedible. i took the food back to the restaurant and was told I should have called last nighT. No logic there. I was given a "too bad too sad" response and told they would do nothing in the way of compensation. He told me to take the food home to which I explained, "I wouldn't feed that to my dog". Avoid this establishment altogether horrible food, small portions, terrible customer service, no interest at all attempting to make a bad experience right. Accepted no responsibility absolute lack of respect for customers. Finally, their items are seriously overpriced. read more

Decided to give this place another try, I live down the street from here and ordered tonight online around 6:30pm. My order was to be picked up at 7:28pm. I got there at 7:30pm. My food wasn't ready because of the sushi I ordered. I waited until 8:10pm. There was about 4 costumers eating inside, people who came after me got there carryout or online order. I finally asked Yin about my order and she went back to the kitchen to confirm why my order was not out yet. A guy came from the back to the sushi station and asked why the sushi chef didn't tell him that my order was ready. They finally got my order together and I left. They tried accommodate me with an appetizer. I gladly turned it down. This is the last time I come or order from here. I'll just stick to my usual spot which is Sushi Tango. Plus the portions for their prices were small and subpar. Bambu you are by far the lowest on the totem pole of asian restaurants around the surrounding oakdale area. read more

One of the best restaurants in town! Highly recommend all the thai curries, especially the Penang Red, and the fresh spring rolls. The menu is extremely vegan and vegetarian friendly and there is a large variety for the whole family. The owner is working often and she is amazing! read more

The food was good, once it finally arrived... an hour after we got there. Turns out that, after waiting over 20 minutes to place our order, and then another 20 minutes waiting, we learned that order "didn't go through" and we had to reorder. The owner/manager apologized for the long wait, took my coworker's email address, and promised to send something to make up for it. That was last week; we're still waiting. I'm not holding my breath, and not going back. read more

Gluten free and vegan options! Excellent food every time we order! Many choices at very reasonable prives

Dined there for lunch and ordered 2 crispy Vietnamese egg rolls and a small bowl of Tom Yum soup. There were only 3 tables in the restaurant and it took 20 minutes to get the egg rolls and the soup followed 10 minutes later. The food was OK but service is very, very slow and it was pricy at $15 for the two items. Probably won't visit there again. read more

Very good! The spicy lemongrass chicken was excellent. Happy to see gluten free and organic options on the menu.

I had never thought of trying Bambu Kitchen previously, but found it while searching for nearby for Vietnamese takeout. The only poor aspect of this experience is that I ordered through Yelp, which operates through GrubHub. Upon being notified my order was ready, I arrived for pickup and was told they had "lost" my order? So I did end up waiting an additional 25 minutes, which was slightly frustrating, but I understand that things happen when getting used to new ordering platforms. The food was good, I had the sesame chicken, spring rolls, and coconut bubble tea. The sesame chicken was the best I've ever had. The spring rolls had chicken in them, which is something I've never seen before, but they were great as always. I would not recommend the bubble tea, it was overall lacking flavor and quite watery. Overall, I would revisit Bambu Kitchen and hope they get their GrubHub connection issues resolved soon. read more

Very disappointed. Fresh spring rolls were good. Sauce was slightly on the vinegar side and slightly thin. Needed more peanut flavor. Kung poa was below average. Minimal sauce, no peanuts...basically a glorified chicken and broccoli. I sent the coconut curry with tofu back to the kitchen. The curry sauce with chalky tasting and pasty. The sweet and sour chicken had no flavor and had one small piece of green pepper. The sweet and sour sauce was watered down. My 8 year old said it had no flavor. The Poke Bowl was good but we requested no pepper flakes and it came with pepper flakes. The Philadelphia roll was great. Service was slow, we had 3 servers during our visit, they served 2 dishes, had to wait an addl 5 minutes for the 3rd, and an addl 10 minutes for the 4th (poke bowl with tuna). Had to wait an addl 10 minutes for the brown rice because they hadn't made any yet (it was 7pm). When we received it, it was still crunchy. read more

We came in the first week it opened. We were a bit disappointed the sushi bar was not ready but excited to try the menu. The large appetizer sampler was amazing! totally worth going back for! Everything else was just OK. Service was slow that day but our server was great! My husband took my girls back 3 months later and still no sushi bar. They went specifically for the sushi bar. We attempted last week because I had heard the sushi bar was finally open! We were excited at this point only to be disappointed again! We walked in on a weeknight around 6pm for dinner. Only 3 booths were filled. There was no hostess or waiters to be found. We stood at the door for a good 5 minutes and still no one. Finally a customer came over and said that we should seat ourselves. My husband and I looked at one another and bolted! Looks like we wouldn't have had dinner for a while if we stayed! The food is good but not worth the wait! They need more help all around. read more
