Understandable if there were other customers, but I was the only one in line. Crunch in sticky rice, had to spit out. Chili sauce was a no.

I'm going out of my way to write this because an Uber Eats review alone would not properly reflect…read morehow bad this experience was. I ordered through Uber Eats using the buy one get one free deal. The total came out to $95 for four bowls and one appetizer. Yes, I understand Uber Eats inflates prices, so I compared the Uber Eats prices with the restaurant's own menu online. The difference was significant. I still bit the bullet because it was Uber Eats and because the two for one deal made it seem somewhat justifiable. That was a mistake. Now to the food. First, the bowls look decent in size at a glance, which initially made me think I got my money's worth. That illusion disappears quickly when you realize about three quarters of each bowl is just shredded cabbage or rice. And not good rice either. It was either extremely soggy or dry and hard depending on the bowl. Second, the wagyu garlic fried rice was a joke. It came with literally four thin slices of meat. I could not tell if it was wagyu at all. The meat was chewy, not tender, and completely underwhelming. The dish had zero flavor. No seasoning. No depth. Nothing. Even drowning it in sauce did not help. In fact, adding sauce just made it worse because of how greasy and oily the bowl already was. It became nauseating. At first, I thought maybe they took the supposed four to six ounces of Australian wagyu from one bowl and split it between both bowls to justify the two for one deal. After reading other reviews, it is clear this is a consistent issue and not a one off mistake. Third, the garlic fried rice tasted like cardboard. The spicy wagyu bowl my wife ordered somehow tasted worse. Wet cardboard. The rice was soaked and mushy, the meat was slightly more tender than mine but still completely flavorless. This place relies on inflated delivery pricing and gimmicky promotions to mask extremely low quality food and embarrassingly small protein portions. I will never order from here again. They could offer me a full refund plus extra money to take this review down and I would still refuse.

Food came out quickly and portions are solid. Flavor of the curry is good and the chicken was cooked well. The curry had a good amount of chicken and vegetables. There was a side salad and rice served with the curry as well. Both are standard. Nothing to note. The Thai Iced Coffee was strong but not too sweet. I enjoyed it. Overall, giving Thai Bamboo Bistro a 4/5. Food is good, service is quick, and it is a good spot for a casual meal. Would come back to try other menu items and would recommend to others.

May update after eating -…read more We were having a pool day and musubis seemed perfect. I specifically asked if they could pack it in a way to where I could eat it later, and they said yes. I took that to mean they would pack the seaweed separately so it doesn't get soft but that isn't what I got. They were fully wrapped in the seaweed. The filling is a bit liquidy so they got all the other 8 musubis wet. I probably could have been more clear, my mistake for assuming they would know that eating later means packed differently. Value in terms of price and size is there, variety is also there

Mama Musubi may just be one of the OG musubi joints in Orange County. Before Lagu, Tenori, or…read moreRicebunn, Mama Musubi showed up at the Irvine Farmer's Market, serving up spam musubi varieties alongside japanese-onigiri style rice balls filled with a variety of fish and meat. I still remember being so excited to finally have a regular musubi and onigiris spor when they first opened Musubis. Then being shocked by the price which was 3-4x the cost in Japan and Oahu. They explained it was an Irvine tax (whomp whomp). And yet, Mama Musubi's flavors were solid and they were the main game in town so I would go to feed my homesickness. Fast forward to many years later, and Mama Musubi has kept their musubi game strong! Luckily, the prices haven't risen too much since they first started. With inflation, they even seem more reasonably priced, especially with how large and generously filled the musubis are. And of course, everything still tastes great. My favorite is the spam egg brunch, which is like a thick spam/egg rice "sandwich". Even when there is a larger line that feels chaotic, you can break the wait up visiting other food stands, love music, and get on with your shopping list. One of the many reasons this experience is extra special. I guess that's the beauty of a farmer's market! I would still recommend arriving earlier if you don't want to miss out on some popular items as they do sell out even after more than half a decade operating there. It also helps you secure decent parking generally. While there are newer musubi joints in town, Mama Musubis has some unique fillings and great flavor combos that continue to make it worth trying while enjoying your Saturday farmer's market visit. In fact, I'm looking forward to my next musubi with them!

I like that they offer high quality white meat chicken and the they give you a really good quantity for their plate size! I can easily have 2 plates over 3 days and will still have some rice left over. I do appreciate the fact they do not skimp on quantity! The plates come with salad and rice but you can pay extra for macaroni. I wish macaroni was not extra or not as much extra. Although if I am getting the deal, I don't mind paying a bit extra on 2 since 1 will be free but it would be nice if it was a smaller charge or included as a side option for plates. I also highly recommend grabbing extra sauce from the back - the chicken plates can be a bit dry and if you like it with a good amount of sauce, you will want extra on top of what is already provided. For me, a lot of extra sauce is needed to cover the rice and chicken and give it some actual noticeable teriyaki flavor. Overall this is a good establishment with a wide choice of meats to grill for yourself at home (if you're into that) and the staff has always been friendly! I will be back for another happy hour deal soon!
