    Ordered 3 cups of Che and a waffle. Spent over 40 dollars and I guess they ran out of pandan jelly which was fine but she totally skimped the drink that she said she "had enough for" Normally idc but at 10 bucks a cup packed w ice and not much topping I personally think the one on Geary does a better take on it lol The pandan waffle was good

    I came at noon & it wasn't busy at all. The boy at the cashier was funny and super helpful. It's bright inside and there is seating. I got bambi's favorite w half the portion of the toppings. I usually love it, however the coconut milk was overly chunky & chalky. I took two sips & threw it out bc it threw off the entire drink.

    San Francisco has many great dessert places to choose from and it all depends where you are located at the time you are craving something sweet or savory . When I am in the San Francisco's Sunset Strip I usually go to Polly Ann for some amazing ice cream or Pineapple King for a tasty pineapple bun. When I am at Stonestown I have tried every spot more than once. I thought I did try every place until I saw a place which was not on my radar which serves everything from Che Vietnamese Dessert to the Mango Halo Halo desserts along with milk tea located in the cuts of Stonestown on Beckingham Way at Bambu. On a Spring stroll Don Juan de la matcha was strolling along the Stonestown mall and ran into Bambu. Inside you can smell the waffles in the air and the scent drew me to try them. I first got the Pandan waffles which were green like matcha but it was savory and a bit crispy with more than a drop and a squirt of caramel syrup which made them delicious. I then ordered the Taro waffles which was bit sweeter but not too sweet and it too had some syrup. These purple colored waffles had good flavor but a bit flakey like some in SF. I had to try their Che Vietnamese dessert which was called Bơ Dầm also known as the Smashed Avocado. It looked like matcha but this dessert has some avocado along with boba and jelly. It was very thick , rich , and dense with lots of flavor. Lastly I had to tango with Mango tea and it was not too sweet but juicy and very refreshing. Overall a must try place to add to list of new places around Stonestown. Go on a Spring San Francisco stroll with Don Juan de la Matcha and "discover"a dessert place which is not the same as the "other" but what I "uncover "was these desserts at Bambu have hella flavor but are different with Che Vietnamese Desserts like the Smashed Avocado and the "Taro Lover" Bambu wasn't first on my radar but now I am "alert "about a place around Stonestown to get some tasty "dessert" with purple and green waffles with syrup with more than a drop or a "squirt" and this review of Bambu was brought to you by Don Juan de la matcha the San Francisco "expert"

    If you ever find yourself in Stonestown, do yourself a favor and scurry over to Bambu for your refreshment desires! Ordered a coffee milktea with boba and loved how they use crushed ice--didn't need a lot to keep the drink cold. Mmmm. (They also make pandan waffles and halo halo :0) There's a nearby banh mi shop in the same building that doesn't have seating, so our logic was to eat our banh mi at Bambu and complete the meal with a drink and some dessert while we were at it. It only made sense. The person working the front was very kind and welcoming. Also fyi, they have a buy 4 drinks, get a free pandan waffle promo on Wednesdays. 10/10 - already looking forward to our next visit :)

    Mango milk tea was delicious

    I came in to try a new drink. They have so many options, it's difficult to make a choice. I didn't want any of the elaborate drinks with 4-5 items in it, so stayed with the mango milk tea. It was delicious. Soft chunks of mango and not too sweet. Staff was nice. It wasn't busy in the early afternoon so service was quick. I might try one of the more elaborate ones next time but they're 350 calories. That's a meal.

    Loved trying Bambu! So many great drinks and combos to try soon. We were blown away. Wish we drank it slower though bc at the end it was mostly just ice and jelly lol lesson learned for next time

    Closer to home, finally. Glad to have Bambu open on this side of SF. It was packed when I went on a Monday afternoon. No lines but all tables - not that there were a lot, were occupied. Nice to have people actually sit down to have their Bambu fix. The lady working the register was really nice. They did not have some of the toppings due to a shipping delay however she was very kind to offer replacement even when I was not even her asking to. I will be coming back a lot for sure.

    Large Bambu favorite $9 - 9/23/25

    A hot day, calls for an ice cold drink from Bambu tucked away on the corner of Buckingham way and 20th Avenue. Ordered a large Bambu Favorite $9, has pandan jelly, red boba with water chestnuts and grass jelly with coconut milk. At 50% sugar, it was hardly sweet, 75% will be preferred next time. A great dessert drink to cool down with.

    Love that a Bambu opened up closer to our home. Bambu Favorite #10 is my go to. Kiddo ordered Bambu Special #1. Good treats on a warm day. We also picked up taro and pandan waffles. I think these ones are bigger (thicker) than other Bambu spots that have them. They both arrived hot and have that mochi chewiness. Not too sweet and quite filling. The owner and staff were friendly as well. I'm sure we'll be visiting quite often.

    Chè Trái Cây.

    This once banh mí sandwich shop near Stonestown Galleria was secretly replaced by Bambu, the same Vietnamese milk tea café that I used to check out in Geary Blvd of Outer Richmond. Thought I wait to buy just one banh mí sandwich, but never lost when I had a chance to try something new at Bambu. I have no words for its interior, but its customer service sounds sweet and easy going. I was better off choosing number 6, which was Chè Trái Cây. Every cup of chè requires a spoon rather than a straw alone. Mine had over eight surprising ingredients. Of all the following: coconut flesh, coconut milk, red tapioca, pandan jelly, jackfruits, palm seeds, agar agar jellos, and longans/lychee. That took about a frustrating 20 minutes wait before I absolutely head off inside Stonestown Galleria. Even after I had a nice cup of chè, I would expect a brain freeze. Spoonful after spoonful, I experienced a carnival of flavors. The next time I visit to have a different cup of chè, I choose vegan options or a smash avocado.

    My friends and I finally got the chance to swing by Bambu in Stonestown. This seemed to be the old subway location but is much brighter than before and more welcoming. You can park in the garage on the second level if you need parking and just exit at the main entrance. Their store is located in the outside so you have to walk past the banh mi love place first. We were greeted immediately by the staff when we walked in n. You can either order from the kiosk or from the cashier. I didn't the cashier because I felt it was faster instead of just searching for what I wanted . I got the pandan waffles and my friends got the egg coffee. We sat down as we waited for our orders and the owner/manager Betty, came out to talk to us and even offered us a sample of the uve waffle. She even offered us water as we waited. For a second I felt I walked into a fancy restaurant. The pandan waffles was made to perfection and I loved the pandan flavor. I could've added chocolate syrup or fruits to this but I wanted it to be simple so I didn't added anything to both my waffles. Best to eat this warm ! The egg coffee was so good. I loved how strong it was! My friends found it strong too, so if you can't handle it , try to add more ice. This drink alone is worth coming back for! Overall, the service is top notch. And the place is super clean. I saw them cleaning the tables agree the customers left. We will definitely return!

    Really nice staff and helpful! Delightful place and really good Vietnamese style drinks/desserts. My kids had big eyes when we were at this place. A comfortable vibe and good place to chill and chat over a halo halo. I really liked the texture differences on the halo halo, guit free gummy worms is what I attributed some of the jellies. Really fun dessert!

    The woman behind the counter is welcoming and makes your drink exactly as you'd like. Prices are steep (paid $10+ for one to go drink).

There are a few other SF restaurants that have this on their menu as well, but Gao does it better by loading on the toppings and having a perfect batter that isn't grainy. I prefer their SF location over San Mateo. I thought the food was better and the seating was just more open and spacious. Service is better at SF too. Parking can be tough but you're likely to find a spot on the street if you circle around the neighborhood.

The staff were both friendly and attentive; they even jumped in immediately to help another table with a spill, which was great to see. We ordered our usual, banh khot. Although this time it wasn't as crispy as I remembered, more fluffier this time, it still satisfied our cravings. We did have to ask for cilantro though since it didn't come with it. Also ordered the grilled pork vermicelli with egg roll. It was a big portion. It came with 2 pieces of thin but big pieces of grilled pork. The pork and dipping sauce was on the more sweeter side.

Banh Mi: smallest I've ever had, 3 slices of meat and barely no veggies. Garlic Noodles with Five Spice Chicken: The garlic noodles had no taste (?) and just lots of barely cooked garlic sprinkled on top. The chicken was also very bland, not grilled and tasted like it was old and microwaved (?) we had to toss it because it didn't taste right... We ordered takeout, so when we went inside to get our food, we saw some deals for drinks to go with your meal. When we asked if we could order a Thai tea, they said no (?) and was just a really awkward, unpleasant interaction...
