    Spicy basil beef
    Peter M.

    If I go back to recall one of the first Thai restaurants I had visited when I settled in the SFV, it would be Thai Bamboo. This is another eatery that has stood the test of time. That alone should tell you that the only way that can happen is that the food got to be good. And yes, it always has been. That is a feather in the cap to the Chefs. They have a wide menu with numerous selections and mouth watering pictures of their dishes. In the good old days, I used to come here for dinner. Now, it is more for lunch. This way, I get their wonton, soup and salad too. The salad has too much peanut dressing (I think it is sauce) and I should have remembered. It destroys the salad. This time the soup was served luke warm and was diluted. The main dish, Pad Prik Khing with Beef was a knockout. The beans were well cooked and soaked, like the tender beef slices, in a thick and spicy (I asked for that) gravy. The aroma, the Thai spices, the taste was exotic. I once again, thoroughly enjoyed this dish with the steamed rice. Another memorable visit to Thai Bamboo.

    Decided to stop by for lunch during the week and it was a great experience. Parking is hit or miss with the Tesla charger station being right next to the restaurant. Staff was friendly and sat my group immediately. The Thai Coffee and Chicken Satay stand out for me. Not too loud inside the restaurant and there is outdoor seating as well. All the food came out hot and you can tell made to order. Chicken was amazing and tender.

    Spent $175, got 2 wrong dishes (pork instead of beef, very spicy). Called to complain, staff was rude. Lost loyal customers. Never again."

    Pineapple curry

    I think the server was so amazing and boxed up my food, which was so nice and also just made sure that we were all good and the pineapple curry is so good and has this amazing key to it so it's like this heat and so it's really good

    The Place- Pretty typical Thai decor with both indoor and outdoor seating. The Food- 1) Crying Tiger Steak- This was my favorite. 2) Spicy Eggplant- Pretty good and I would get it again. 3) Pad See Ew- I liked it but would probably get something different next time. Service- Friendly and attentive. Parking- Shares a large parking lot with many other businesses.

    Cute spot! The service was good and the food was amazing. The house special was amazing! Never had shrimp that good.

    12/31/2024 - Had lunch special. The taste is good, but the portion is small in comparison to another Thai restaurant in Porter Ranch, but the service is better. The bathroom sink is a little bit old (dirty traces on the sink). The overall ambience is average. The parking is free at Walnut Grove Shopping Center.

    I've seen this place for awhile but finally decided to try it out. It's a small restaurant with a covered patio. Nice and chill. It's also right in front of a Tesla Supercharger if you need that. You can literally eat and watch your car at the same time lol.. There are a lot of parking spots but it can get busy since there are other restaurants and stores in this plaza. But nothing too crazy. Still pretty convenient to park. I had the Chicken Yellow Curry. I like spicy food but I started with medium just cause I wasn't sure of their levels. Also so my friend could try it. Perfectly mild for my taste but definitely will try hot next time. Either way it was really good! My friend got the salt and pepper chicken. So nice and crispy with jalapeno. She had Thai ice tea which she said was really good. I had the Thai ice coffee but it was a bit too sweet for me. Next time I'll see if I can have it less sweet. The menu has pictures which made it hard to decide. They all look good! Definitely returning to try other dishes, like the house special shrimp. Our server Anthony was really nice and good at suggestions. Very pleasant. We will be returning to try the rest of the menu.

    This is my Thai restaurant go-to in SFV. I've been here many times and their dishes all have been delicious! I really like their wonton soup bc the broth is so garlicky, salty, sweet, and tasty to my soup-loving soul. They serve a good combination of veggies and meat. I also recommend their specialty Thai Bamboo rice dish which is stir fried protein of choice with a side of veggies and rice. Very delicious and filling as well. Of course, the drunken noodles are bomb here! My gauge for Thai restaurants is how well they cook their drunken noodles. They surely passed. They have good lunch combo deals too. Service is decent. Ambiance is casual. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Plentiful parking in their lot (Tesla chargers included).

    Thai Bamboo was highly recommended to us by our friends. So glad we decided to try them out. This eatery is very welcoming and bright. It has positive vibes. We love how the sun shines through the windows. The lady at the counter and our awesome waiter Anthony was excellent. Anthony even made recommendations and we were happy to oblige. We ordered the Salt & Pepper with chicken, Yellow Curry with chicken, Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. Our meals came with white rice. The yellow curry was delicious. Spicy level is medium with chunks of chicken breast. The curry is very flavorful. Glad we tried it. Salt & Pepper chicken are battered chunks of chicken breast with black pepper and salt along with jalapeño. This was very fulfilling and really good. We also enjoyed the Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. The taste of the coffee was just the right amount. It was not too sweet. Can't wait to eat here again and try other food items on their menu. Thank you Anthony and the sweet lady that took our photo. Will definitely recommend Thai Bamboo to all our family and friends.

    Wanted to try some new local Thai food, and stumbled upon this restaurant. I order a chicken pad see ew, spicy fried rice, and a Thai iced tea. Let me start with the customer service, the lady taking my order was very pleasant and had a warm personality. The ambiance and the vibe of the restaurant was nice, small restaurant and can have people sit outside and enjoy your food. Now the best part, the food was absolutely amazing and very tasteful. I wish the spicy fried rice was a little spicier but overall tasted amazing. Thank goodness the Thai iced tea tasted really good and authentic, it's hard to find a place that does good Thai iced tea. Overall great food and great experience

We lucked out and got the last booth before the dinner rush. The place looked exactly like it did last time we came. Staff was still friendly. They don't accept cash, only cards/tap to pay. Their menu looked different. Wish I had taken a photo. You have an option to build your own boil by choosing your protein, sauce, spice level and add in's. They still don't allow you to mix garlic butter and lemon pepper sauces. You're forced to get the Kickin mix which includes Cajun even if you're not a fan of that flavor. They also have a kids menu with 2 choices, appetizers and family combos. Always intimidating ordering from a menu that doesn't disclose the pricing up front. That's the weirdest thing. Even restaurants in Beverly Hills have pricing on their menus. We got the family feast which feeds up to 4 people and had a combo of crab, mussels, shrimp, sausage, rice, potato and corn which was about $107. (Side note, they charge 50 cents for a pair of gloves and they do not provide you with a little towelette to wipe before or after your meal) This I have to admit was a pretty good deal considering it's a good amount of seafood. They serve it to you in a large metal bowl. We asked for mild since we had toddlers, but because of the Cajun in the sauce (that they force you to get if you want garlic butter and lemon pepper flavor) it was more of a medium, and the kids could not tolerate the heat. Which wasn't a bad thing since that meant more for us grown ups. Ordered them a side of truffle fries which was not too bad actually. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks which come in huge cups. We tried asking for two small empty cups so the kids could share our drinks, but they refused to provide that to us. According to the waiter, it's the restaurant policy that they can only provide water cups, but we have to figure out what to do with the water inside. (Insert face palm emoji) Also they do not provide buckets for your shells so we weren't sure what to do with all that water but drink it. The cups are thin paper cups to pair perfectly with those gross paper straws. By the time we finished the water the cups were pretty mushy already. Needless to say we couldn't finish all our food so we asked for it to go, reluctantly as we hoped they weren't going to try and charge us for those to go bags as well. Pro's: they brought the food out quickly. The food tasted freshly cooked. Con's: don't know where to begin. Parking lot sucks since it's shared with multiple other businesses. There is no place for you to sit and wait outside the restaurant. You'll need to stand outside by the parking lot and pray you don't get side swiped by some crazy driver. Menu has hidden pricing. They charge 50 cents for gloves and do not provide wipes for after your meal. They don't provide a bucket/container to place your seafood shells so it gets mixed in with your other food on the table. Can't even ask for an empty cup for kids. They don't let you customize your sauces your way. Sad to say after all this time my review for this place is still a solid 2 stars.

    First Visit -- Disappointing Experience…read more We came in last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived--there was only one other party of two. Our party of 10 was the largest group there, yet the service was still very slow and disorganized. I ordered six seafood platters, and I was honestly surprised by the portion sizes. When I hear "seafood platter," I expect something substantial, especially based on my experience at other seafood restaurants. Here, each platter was served on a large oval plate but contained just about enough food for one person. Each platter was supposed to come with rice or fries, but our side dishes did not arrive until we were more than halfway through our meal. I also had to remind the waiters twice about a refill of water for our pitcher after I had already requested it. The temperature inside was another major issue. The restaurant felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. There were only two industrial fans blowing air toward the middle of the room rather than toward the patrons, leaving our entire party sweating in the corner. The bathroom was even worse--it felt like a sauna with little to no air circulation. The service continued to be poorly timed throughout the meal. We were already about two-thirds finished eating before the buckets that are typically provided at the beginning of a seafood meal were brought to the table. These buckets are intended for trash and shells, so by the time they arrived, we had already been managing our shells and waste without them. Then came the bill. A 2.5% surcharge was added to our check. This was not listed anywhere that I saw on the restaurant's website, and it was never mentioned by the waitstaff. I only noticed it when reviewing the receipt. The digital receipt states: "to maintain our food quality and to improve services a 2.5% surcharge will be added to every check." I found that explanation particularly frustrating. Why should customers be charged an additional percentage specifically to fund improvements to the restaurant's food quality and service? Those are things I would expect to be included in the prices already being charged. There was also a discrepancy with the large-party gratuity. The restaurant's website states that an 18% gratuity is added for parties of six or more, yet I was charged 20%. I took a timestamped screenshot of the website showing the 18% policy and have attached it along with a copy of my receipt so customers can see the discrepancy for themselves. Finally, they were unable to print a receipt. The waiter had to figure out how to send the receipt to me by text. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We came in hoping to celebrate my daughter's birthday and enjoy a nice meal together. Instead, we experienced inadequate portions, delayed side dishes, repeated requests for basic service, an uncomfortably hot dining room, poorly timed table service, an undisclosed surcharge, and a gratuity discrepancy between the website and our actual bill. I always try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, especially when visiting for the first time. But with a party of 10 and a bill reflecting both a 2.5% surcharge and 20% gratuity, I expected a much higher level of service and transparency. I would strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully and comparing it with the restaurant's posted policies before paying.
