We've been going here since we moved to Texas (12 years ago) and the food is still incredible! Amazing, authentic Thai food with extremely friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, and excellent drinks! We love the roti, chicken satay with peanut sauce, pad see ewe, and the Esan sausage! read more

Flew home late from a work trip, and I just wanted an easy dinner. Called up Bambi and got some favorites. They are honestly so sweet. The chicken pad Thai and Panang curry shrimp hit the spot. I got my food to go, but went and pick it up. Restaurant is very comfy and inviting. read more

Bambu - Pad Kee Mao - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Not the best Pad Thai I've ever eaten. The shrimp were boiled not grilled and hardly any garnish...definitely lacking chopped peanuts and green onions. And for the price was a small portion. And the credit card signature automatically started at 18%, which I think is a little high for her togo order. Let's just say, I won't be back. read more

We had a great experience at Bambi. The waitress was very helpful explaining the dishes since we were familiar with the cuisine, she even made a hot tea recommendation. They had several teas to choose from. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The place had a neighborhood vibe and several customers were greeted by name. I would definitely go back. read more

It's a decent place for Thai food BUT! There's a few things I hope they would tweak. The Tom Kha soup was really good and the portion's pretty big. However, it was thin and really watery. I wish the coconut milk would show more but I hardly tasted it. Then we got the pad see ew. Very good but for some reason it was sweet. I wished it wasn't cause I don't like sweet meals much. I will try to see if they can tweak it next time to not be sweet. Service is good and I like they give you sambal read more

Lunch special panang curry was tasty, just very small. I don't really eat rice, so it just wasn't enough food to satisfy me. Service was friendly. Ambiance is typical Asian restaurant in a strip center. read more

My first time here for lunch and it was awesome. I had the fresh spring roll with shrimp and peanut sauce, an easy 9. Then I had the Pad Thai with shrimp and it was delicious, another easy 9. The beautiful waitresses were very nice and accommodating. I will be back! read more

Amazing food & Services. Food is authentic. We had a foodie event, owner & wait staff spend time letting us what's the best process of eating the dishes. My favorite believe it or not is the crispy fried rice and the desserts. All the dishes hit the spot and kept its authensity of the Isan style cooking. I will recommend exploring more down the menu. read more

Bambu is our absolute favorite Thai spot, and our go-to neighborhood restaurant. We have eaten here many, many times, and the food is ALWAYS amazing (and consistent!). We have tried almost everything on the menu, but our favorites are pad see ew, green curry, crying tiger beef, Tom yum soup, Isan sausage and meing kham. Their cocktails are spectacular, and their wine selection is always top notch. Really can't say enough good things about Bambu. The icing on the cake is how sweet and welcoming the owners, Jason and Shelly, are. read more

Bambu - Yellow Curry, Fried Tofu (6) - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I had a craving for some spring rolls and edamame, so that's what I ordered. I made some homemade beef and broccoli in my Instant pot yesterday and wanted to add something with a little crunch to go along with it. The edamame was perfectly steamed and salted. The spring rolls had a great texture and crunch but they were much smaller than I thought they would be. They barely had any filling in them because they were so small. $6 for 4 tiny spring rolls didn't exactly break the bank, but I would have enjoyed them so much more if I could find the filling. read more

This place is so good! I had no idea it was even here! I've been missing out for 10 years!! We were luck enough to come on a day they were doing a food photo shoot so I got to see some on the dishes. Everything was fresh & made to order. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of the dishes but the one I had was not spicy but very flavorful. I loved the glass noodles. (It was the 3rd dish from the bottom left of the menu) All the veggies were crispy & the chicken was all white meat which is important to me. I can't wait to come back. read more

Wonderful Hidden Gem !!!! Was given a suggestion by a friend to give Bambu in Richardson a try if I enjoyed Thai food, which I do. Thought I would drop in for lunch today and found a "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson that everyone should put on their regular restaurant list. Met at the front door with a fantastic greeter in a young lady that continued as our waitstaff throughout the meal and we could not have asked for better service - it was fabulous ! Now to the most important - the food, two dishes were ordered at our table and both of them went above board on appearance and taste. The first one was Panang Curry - we decided to order this on a spice level 2. You can order on spice levels 1-3. Our decision was perfect for our taste. Very spicy but not over the top that it masked the tastes of the ingredients which included Chicken,coconut milk, bell pepper, zucchini, kaffir lime leaves, Thai basil all swimming in a broth that was incredible. Off to the side was a mound of Jasmine Rice - our decision was to combine the two into one dish and what an amazing combination we achieved. Our second dish was the Bambu Specialty Crab Fried Rice which came with just the right amount of ingredients of meat, egg, tomatoe, onion, and scallions. It came out as a fried rice dish that made a meal in itself with no need for any addition seasonings. The owners of the establishment came over and introduced themselves to us due to the fact that we had been referred to them and they were so gracious and had their space so well decorated in the era to note not only present time asian cultures but past time asian cultures as well. The interior was very well done. So if you have not found this "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson, venture off to the southeast corner of Coit/Campbell - trust me, you will not be disappointed !! read more

HIDDEN GEM! This is some of the best Thai food I've had in Dallas - and I consider myself a Thai food connoisseur . I came in with my family for lunch and we ordered the Thai basil chicken, cashew chicken, and broccoli beef. All of our meals were incredibly delicious, flavorful and a perfect lunch portion. The crispy spring rolls were also amazing. The service was great too - our waitress was attentive and quick. We were also greeted by the friendly owners - this is a family owned business. The ambiance is light, airy and relaxed. Will 100%!be coming back! read more

Food is amazing and the service was great. Recommend coming in for food and drinks. Worth a visit.

Great! Service. Amazing food and cocktails not the usual Thai food you can find anywhere. I love isan sausages

If you work or go to school at UTD then you have been here and it's not because of the proximity. I have been going to Bambu for over 5 years and have never once been disappointed. My pictures show the beef pad see eew and crab fried rice. I ordered the pad see eew probably once every 2 months over 4 years. The added the crab fried rice as a special last year and that has slowly become my new favorite. I've tried other things such as the red curry but these two are stars in my book! The food is fantastic, the service is quick and attentive and of course the location is the best! Try this place out if you ever get a craving for Thai food! read more

To explain further, the food itself would get 3/5 stars for being just OK. However, I've never had Thai food where the flavors weren't a parade on my palate. Bambu, though, was mediocre. This doesn't make sense to me given how delicious Thai is in general. Are they using cheap ingredients? So that lost them another star. Then there was the restaurant experience itself. We ordered three plates - one just a bowl of Tom Kha as an appetizer that was brought out with the entrees instead - and it took nearly 30 minutes. Our waiter repeatedly said, "It's coming." 30 minutes. When the food hit the countertop they tried to blow off the wait with, "It's fresh and hot!" like that was some recompense. Would it have been old and cold if it had come out in 10 minutes? Mediocre food, super slow kitchen, and mistakenly proud staff. That's a nope for me. read more

A good spot to stop by for a relatively quick lunch. Their lunch special deals are very reasonable, although it does feel like they skimp out on the meat a bit... While you're waiting, they bring you a small cup of soup (one time it was egg drop(?) and another time some kind of mushroom) which is really nice. Their pad thai and thai fried rice are both solid. read more

Service was great but food portions were small and over priced. I ordered the Crying Tiger Beef, it seemed like an appetizer in relation to portion. I ended up ended ordering a second plate (Pad Thai) because the original entree wasn't enough food. For the value I would not go back to this place, many choices in the DFW area. read more

Not the best pad Thai w/chicken I've had but it was definitely delicious an fresh. Noodles seem kinda tough. But not disappointing. Inside was small but very clean and inviting. I was greeted as I walked through the door and was able to order an have my food to go within 8 minutes. Good place! read more

Bambu - Pad Thai chicken - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Ambience:4 Dinner:4 Service:5 Value:5 Return:5 Crowded it was on a Saturday night at this delightful restaurant. While luckily needing to wait for a table, I tried and fell for their "Texas Mule", mixed with their homemade ginger syrup and Tito Vodka which truly heightened this classic drink. Service was on point throughout our time there. Without missing a beat, our water glasses were filled, clean plates after each course, welcoming, accommodating and wonderful suggestions were given to our foodie table by their incredible servers. Clean tasting was all of our table's share dishes.The best dishes came from the server's suggestions which were their "Grilled Calamari"; "Stir Fried Seafood"; and, "Khao Tom Mat". Falling short of our standards were their stuck together "Pad Thai" and where was the beef in the "Beef Green Curry". The next time here, first off, I'll definitely make a reservation; next, I'll only order dishes from their suggestions; and, lastly, I'll wholeheartedly select HOT for medium heat was too mild for my taste! CHEERS! read more
