A great place for Thai in the Keele and Steele area. Their portions are always great and you never leave hungry. It's a little pricy for the quality but the food here is always good. Service is a hit or miss, while all the staff are polite and friendly, sometimes it's hard to get their attention, especially when things start to pick up. The restaurant is not big, but around lunch time gets pretty busy. It's a comfortable space, nothing fancy. We ordered the pad see ew and khao soi. Pad see ew was good, had nice flavours. Though it didnt come with the traditional large wide noodles. The khao soi was good as well, though again, had mixed canto fried noodles as the topping. Overall a good place to grab a quick bite. read more

Thai Bamboo - Khao soi - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Relatives brought me here while I was visiting Toronto the other week - Small shared parking lot here - but most places were closed at dinner time, so parking was plentiful - restaurant was kind of dim , and lacked lighting in my opinion. Service was very quick and we were seated right away on a weekday night - wasn't busy at all - servers were friendly and made suggestions on what to order. The red chick curry was average at best, found the chicken on the dryer side of things. Pad Thai was also pretty average to me , nothing really stood out. Had Tom Yum soup as well, that was pretty tasty and had a nice spice kick to it (not pictured - as I forgot) Pricing and portions seemed fair - not sure if this was the best Thai in Toronto area, but I definitely have some better go to's in Vancouver. Overall, it's worth a try - however, I'd probably try something else next time, since I'm not local. read more

The food here is average, neither pricy nor cheap. I tried their cashew chicken, greet curry with tofu and purple rice with mango and coconut flavour recently. The greet curry wasn't as mild as my order. Instead it was quite spicy even I generally had good endurance of spicyness. The purple rice was a bit too hard. The chicken cashew was mediocre. read more

Great visit all around. Lots of menu options to try (will be back). The "chicken soup" was similar to pho, with ramen-style noodles (small pictured above). Priced right. Add chili for some bam-bam. read more

A coworker brought me here for lunch a couple of weeks ago and I am hooked! When she first mentioned it, I of course hopped onto Yelp to check out the reviews and pictures... (nice job on the pictures guys!) The Khao Soi looked interesting and since I've never had it before, I was up for the experience. I'm addicted. This dish is so flavourful and I enjoyed it so much that I've been craving it ever since. The service was okay. I mean, it was quick at first but when they started to bring the wrong orders to our table, I began to wonder. Everyone was friendly and the food more than made up for this minor shortcoming. I can't wait to go back. read more

Thai Bamboo - Khao Soi Noodle Soup - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Good food, reasonably priced but service could have been friendlier. We started with hot and cold spring rolls. The cold were gf but the hot crispy ones were not so only my mom ate those. They were large portions and we got 2 in each order. Bothe types were enjoyed My mom had the mango salad and enjoyed it. I had the noodles in a yellow curry. They were on the sweet side but flavourful and tasty. Restaurant is in a plaza with free parking. read more

I was excited to eat the chili beef since I love eating stuff like this. I ordered through uber eats. It came extremely quick and was piping hot. I was surprised and glad to see that it came with a bowl of plain rice and cutlery. Once I opened the container, I was greeted with disappointment. The container was about 1/3 full. For the price paid, over $16 (not including delivery charge) I expected a full container of chili beef that I was hoping to split into 2 meals. This portion was smaller than a $7 meal from the food court. The container was so empty, I dumped my bowl of rice inside to mix in and even then, the container was not full and had plenty of room to spare. The food item was soggy (the beef is dripped in batter and fried - it should be somewhat crispy) instead, the batter was just like extra carbs/filler. The peppers were oddly cut in large irregular shapes. The ginger pieces were also bountiful and (too) large. Flavour wise was decent, I liked how there was a container of chili oil on the side so you could adjust to your preference. However, the price paid for this is just a crime. The food and portion I got is what I expect from a $4 frozen meal. read more

Thai Bamboo - Chili beef - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

We've been coming here for years now. This place is a gem and I feel it doesn't get enough shout-outs. Our go to is always the shrimp pad Thai with a side of crispy shrimp spring rolls. The chili oil is a must! It's so spicy but I can't stop adding more to it. Best pad Thai around the North York/ York university area. Decor is a little outdated in the restaurant but honestly I come here to for tasty food. Looks like the majority of the business is takeout as it's in an area with little businesses office buildings around. read more

Thai Bamboo is decent Thai restaurant in the area. Good price, Friendly Services and Good Food! Chicken Pad Thai ($8.95) extra spicy is quite nicely done, spiced up with chili pepper and fresh from the wok!! Yummmy! Deco is really simple and with tons of bamboo... Thai Bamboo is worth your while if you are in the neighbourhood and have cravings for some Thai food. Not the best but will do... read more

Definitely the biggest hidden gem in the GTA!15 years I have been coming to Thai Bamboo, and the food is still just as consistently fresh, tasty, and amazing as always. By far the best Thai food in the GTA. So many favourite dishes...but these three are staples in my order. Chili chicken Any fried rice Coconut sticky rice The staff is amazing ! Always smiling and kind. They are happy to take orders, honest about timing . Your never waiting when asking for take out. Thank you Thai Bamboo!!! read more

Ordered beef curry, taste like it's not curry. Ingredients are not cooked with soup. Not as good as before, like many other restaurants doing worse in the pandemic. I think I will not go there again. read more

We came here for a baby shower and they were super accommodating. I can see why this place is packed on a Saturday! My friends told me when they are doing take out, they usually have to wait 50 minutes and sometimes longer because of how busy it is but the food is worth it! A nice Thai and Laos restaurant with real authentic Asian food! It is so rare to find an authentic restaurant like this! Their papaya salads are amazing, taste like my moms and love the fact that they included noodles, cabbage and cucumbers. A couple of the ladies got the beef lap and chicken lap. Both were delicious! Should definitely order it next time. I wanted to try something else since everyone was sticking to the lap and papaya salad so I got the crispy chilli Chicken and shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls are simply amazing. So delicious, crispy and filled with lots of shrimp! My dish on the other hand was alright, nothing to rave about. It was good but I really wished I should have gotten the vermicelli curry soup that I've been seeing on Yelp! That looked amazing, will definitely try it next time. If you're planning to host a dinner here, make sure you make reservations ahead of time! read more

Thai Bamboo deserves a 3.5 rating. Decor: Nothing special; kind of drab. Service: Good. Based on the conversations I overhead between customers and staff, a lot of regulars dine here. It's always a good sign when customers keep coming back. Food: A real mix of very good and mediocre. The crispy vegetarian spring rolls were large, tasty but also greasy. They came with a very good dipping sauce. The beef was chewy yet the red curry sauce and veggies in the same dish were delicious. The chicken and shrimp pad thai had enough chicken but very few pieces of shrimp. Prices: Reasonable read more

Unfortunately this is a place that I'll never come back to. Most times the restaurant has something going for it, like the food, service, or being cheap, but this place felt like it had none of those things. My partner and I decided to try this place out since we were close by. Upon entering we were greeted by a nice waitress. She sat us down and we were grossed out by the table cloth. It had tons of stains on it... Looked like it was out for the whole day. Two other groups were seated in our area after we arrived and placed our order. One table got all of their food before us and they had 5 dishes. We ordered the khao soi and beef pad thai. We were disappointed... The khao soi was really bland and noodles were overcooked. The pad thai was mediocre...its not authentic pad thai just FYI...just westernized pad thai. None of the sweet, sour, spicy, salty and bitter flavours. This place was a miss for me. I was hoping to find a gem, but was left disappointed. read more

Great Thai food! Love this little gem. What ever you order is always prepared fresh and served hot. Great level of spice and excellent flavours. I have had so many different things at Thai Bamboo including their Pad Thai which is amazing. Their spring rolls are fantastic. You have to try their veggie fresh wrapped spring roll. It is amazing! I don't like cilantro and they do a great job of customizing the order which tells you it is freshly made. Best Thai place in the area. Hands down read more

Just finished my Thai Bamboo meal with some of my colleagues, and I must say I was impressed considering how much I paid. I had the Beef Pad Thai. While it's nothing like the awesomeness of Khao San Road in Downtown, the price you pay perfectly suited the quality and quantity I got, in fact maybe even more. My other colleagues (we had a party of 4) all had the curry tofu, and while they said it was surprisingly spicy, it was delicious as well. Only one managed to finish it though as the rice portions were gigantic. The only two setbacks I have with this place was that the tables were a bit small for four people (yet five people you get the giant tables), and there doesn't seem to be enough waiters...took a good 15-20 minutes to go through all our bills. I'll come back when I'm ever in the area again as I live in the opposite end of town. read more

Had a weird experience here with the bae. We stopped in for a Friday night date and were looking forward to trying the food. There were three different people who served our table that night. One of them may have been the owner. We took a few minutes to look at the menu and ended up choosing crispy spring rolls to start, I ordered the coconut soup as my main and the BF chose the spicy ginger beef. Oddly, the soup came first and since we were starving, we ended up sharing it. The soup was delicious - hot, sweet, and sour at the same time with lots of veggies. The spring rolls came out next and they were disappointingly greasy. Like super greasy. Again was starving so ate it anyway. Last to arrive was bae's dish. It literally tasted like nothing so he let one of the servers know who came back to check on us a very very long time later. They removed the dish off the bill but we just wanted to get out of there it was very awkward. He ended up getting McDonald's on the way home. WOMP WOMP. Would not return. read more

Best Thai food in the area, and they have lunch specials too. All the dishes are great. Open for both lunch and dinner, including weekends. Most lunch specials are around 11 or $12, and they also offer take out. I usually order the ginger chicken, or the spicy ginger beef. Both of these dishes are savory but not too sweet. lunch comes with rice , but for dinner you have to order the rice separately, which is a couple of dollars extra. My wife often orders the pad thai, or a vegetarian dish. She really loves the food there and goes every chance she can get. Their fresh rolls are very good, there are both vegetarian and chicken options, and you can choose whether to keep them fresh, or to fry them. read more

Thai Bamboo is where I go when I'm salivating for some Thai salads (this place has the best!). It's close enough and good enough that I keep coming back (and I've been coming here for years!). There are dishes that are unique to Thai Bamboo that I can't get anywhere else (that I know of). The first is the Laos style green papaya salad. Oh my lord it is some spicy, pungent, and crunchy goodness that always hits the spot. It's grated green papaya, tomatoes, and lime wedges that are mixed in a Thai sauce that contains fermented fish paste and fish sauce, with lots of thai bird peppers. It's definitely NOT for the faint of heart! The dish comes with some vermicelli and cabbage to cut the spicyness as well but I like to dip everything in the delicious sauce before taking a bite. When you order this salad and the warm meat salad the server should ask you how many chili peppers you want. For me, 3 is pretty spicy already, and I can handle my spice. If you want something more mild I would go with 1 or 2 peppers. The second dish I love from here is the warm meat salad with beef. It comes with lime juices, fish sauce, coriander, green onions, chilli peppers and Thai seasonings. The beef is cooked medium so it's never too chewy. It also comes with tripe as well, which isn't mentioned on the menu. This salad has a similar taste palette to the Laos style papaya salad so if you love that one you'll love this too. I should also mention that I ordered something similar (I thought!!!) to this at Khao San Road and the beef was SUPER overcooked and disgustingly chewy. In addition to the salads I always get the shrimp spring rolls (they sell out all the time!!!!) and the shrimp and chicken pad thai. These 4 things are my staples here. Parking is accessible right outside and they do take out as well as dine in. I usually call ahead when I take out as it takes about 20 minutes for them to prepare your order. read more

We dont like the smell of this salad (warm naos tranditional pork salad) It doesnt smell right to us. Parking is good, server doesnt smile. Place is clean. Dishes are quite watery, ingredients are repeating every dishes (mushroom, carrot, broccoli, shrimp, chicken breast, cucumber) read more

Thai Bamboo - Warm Noas Trandition Pork Salad - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The best Thai food in the GTA in my opinion! So good every time. Highly recommend the pad Thai, green curry, and spring rolls.

Thai Bamboo is where I go to eat Laos beef salad or Laap. This place rocks and always leaving me satisfied. The ambience of the restaurant is quite lacking to be honest. There are some statues and pictures of Gods that represent Thai culture in the restaurant but other from that this place is run down and old. Renovations would be great but not needed because this place gets busy, especially during lunch! I came here on a Wednesday evening and I was glad it wasn't crowded. On to the food: I ordered the Laos beef salad with tripe extra spicy because I like the heat. I won't advise others to order it extra hot though because it can be really really spicy who someone who isn't familiar with heat. I also got the house fried rice that came with shrimp and chicken. It has a nice taste and the pineapples and nuts really compliments it well. I shared the food with my boyfriend and after we had devoured everything we were still hungry, but satisfied. We would've ordered more but the prices of the dishes were quite expensive. Our bill was around $36ish and we only ordered the salad, fried rice, and Thai iced tea. The service was good as well! The lady who served us was kind and efficient. Plus she brought us a whole jar of water instead of just two cups because we ordered spicy food so that was really cool. Overall, I will definitely come back here again! Just wish the prices weren't as expensive but the tasty Thai food kinda makes up for it! read more

Thai Bamboo - Thai iced tea. Really good when paired with spicy food! - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The whole restaurant interior was mostly made out of bamboo as it makes perfect sense they called themselves Thai bamboo. I got myself spicy chicken red curry, chicken and shrimps pad Thai, coconut soup, and free veggie fresh rolls (even tho I requested the crispy spring rolls). The food was good. But I found the spicy curry was way too spicy for my taste. The service was okay, a bit slow, and they seemed to forget what I ordered a couple times. read more

Now I'm beginning to understand why Khao San in downtown is so popular.... Thai food in Toronto just isn't very good. I had always thought that Kao San was very overrated (quality is basically average compared to what you'd get in Cali), but it's a lot better than this place. We ordered a few dishes: -pad thai wasn't very good. Didn't like the texture of the noodles. Also, it wasn't very flavorful -green curry was VERY salty, to the extent that it was difficult to eat -fried rice (can't remember which type) also was one of the poorer quality fried rice dishes that I've had at a Thai place. I thought that the dish taste "burnt" (although I was the only one at my table who felt that way) -soup was decent... different to every other Thai place I've been, but decent. Dishes average about $10 each (at lunch) Very busy (at lunch)... maybe this place is decent for Toronto standards (hence the 3 stars. In Cali this would be an easy 2) Ample parking available. I won't be back read more

My new favourite Thai spot! It feels great knowing that we no longer need to travel downtown for a good Thai spot. Also might I add, pad Thai has never been for me until I stumbled upon this place. One of the most flavorful pad thai joint ever, and it doesnt taste like ketchup! (Inside joke since most places seem to make it taste like ketchup) I highly recommend trying their spicy seafood salad, pad Thai, crispy chili chicken and OF COURSE THE THAI MILK TEA. Everything about this spot is on point!!! read more

Had the pad Thai and panang curry. The pad Thai was a pretty small serving and didn't have much flavour, it was mostly grease. The curry was quite watered down and bland. You also have to pay extra for a tiny side of rice. Service was quite slow. Unfortunately, I would not return. read more

Ambience & decor: Unassuming place, East Asian decor, very generic. The chair upholstery is quite stained & dirty. (2 stars) Beverage: They sport an LLBO sign but they have a 1 red & 1 white wines and waitresses are not aware of the variety. They have the usual Thai iced coffee, etc. Food & service: Staff is very friendly. This is among the best Thai restaurants I have been to in the GTA. I especially liked the fact that they have a separate vegetarian section where the curries are prepared without fish sauce. They are also quite amenable to adapting the non-vegetarian curries to vegetarian ones, again without fish sauce. We ordered the green, yellow, &, red curries. All of them were very excellent. The vegetable curry puff appetizer was also good. (5 stars), Will I come back? You betcha! read more

Pure OK place, i ordered a delivery from them, spring rolls were solid, fried rice tasty but very very fried. Beef was hard to chew Nd chicken was ok, the soups were good especially the chicken and corn one. Will give it one more shot for sure though. read more

The best wonton soup I've ever had. Its the soup I have when I am sick but still have to function in reality. Great pad thai & spring rolls but too much sauce on the chicken and beef. The restaurant pulls the majority of its business on takeout food so the decor is a little dated and dark but the food makes up for it. Just as well, the servers are a little slow and inattentive when you dine in. That doesn't mean however, that they are not kind, courteous and working for you. They're just a little run-off-their-feeeeet. Medium prices so not a weekly or even monthly place for a fixed income but again, the food is well worth it! Love the choices of desserts too. Its on a busy roadway and with limited parking. No delivery just pick-up. read more

Thai Bamboo - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

My colleague introduced me to this place. We came here for lunch and arrived about a quarter after noon. It wasn't pack yet but as oulunch hour progressed the restaurant did become full. Upon arrival was pleasantly surprised that it was a cozy, family-run sit down place rather than a fast food type place. I would not say I am a Thai food enthusiast but I will say the food here is top notch, and one of the better Thai places I have been to. The menu consists of typical Thai food fanfare and the cuisine is quite authentic. I had the pad Thai with beef and it did not taste "ketchupy" as some other establishments. The noodles were flavourful and the portions were HUGE for the price (~$10). We started with fried spring rolls and they were fresh and crisp. Service was very quick and prompt; the seating, order taking and arrival of our meals. The restaurant doesn't have any fancy decor, and is kind of dated, but it is clean and gives off a cozy vibe. I would definitely come back here for another lunch! read more

One of the best THAI restaurant. Authentic to the fullest. Their Thai ice tea taste very authentic and delicious. My go to order are: shrimp chips, sticky rice, Laos style papaya salad, nem Cao, chicken Lap. These dishes are amazing and you can really taste their distinctive flavour. Be very careful with the level of spiciness as they have their days in a heavy or light hand on the peppers. Great for big groups and family read more

Mmmmm. I think that Thai Bamboo is one of the contenders for best thai food in the city. I always order the chicken and shrimp pad thia, and it's amazing. I am super picky, and I hate it when white meat comes in questionable shades. No worries here, the meat seems to be chicken breast, and the shrimp has been shelled and are pretty big. The portion sizes are good, I always have leftovers for dinner. The veggie spring rolls are also worth a go! This place gets super crowded at lunch, so you should reserve a table. read more

I would not recommend eating here or ordering from here. People are insane. This place is always packed around noon and I just don't get it. For $10, yes you get a good sized portion...but it's of OIL!!!!!!!! Every time I've eaten here in the past, I have literally been sick because the food is so incredibly heavy. NOTHING is fresh and anyone who tells you different has no palate. I've tried the chicken fried rice, fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, shrimp fried rice and the spicy pad thai. All very generic. And any meat you get has obviously sat out raw, or was defrosted prior to your order being placed; you can tell in the quality of the food. They could easily do a better job. read more
