Bamboo Thai Bistro - Redondo Beach

Had to make this review because this is such a highly rated place and it felt short of my expectations.The service was friendly and fast and the food was seasoned okay.What I dislike about the place is the bare/cold feeling ambiance of the interior, the poor acoustics of the place making it very loud and the worst thing is that the food is clearly not made by anyone with a formal training in cooking and it shows! Let me elaborate The fresh spring rolls came out fast, but that was because they had been made many hours before, both the rolls and the peanut sauce was stale and the one tiny little shrimp that was in each was a joke! Whoever is prepping the produce doesn't know how to use a knife. Whatever vegetables that they did'n get precut was chopped very sloppy. I know things have gotten more expensive and onions are a relative cheap ingredients that some restaurants use generously to fill the dish but come on! At least chop them so they are not cut like it was fresh fruit!

Wanted to try this place for a long time. However, the food didn't meet my expectations. Food was decent but nothing special. I got green curry and wished it was more spicy. I wish they cleaned the walls too because I saw bit of food stains. Will I come back? Not sure... Although their food wasn't too great, their service was good.

Love the food. The sound was a little sweet for my pallet, but then again, what can you expect from a coconut cream soup? I mean, it 's in the name, basically. But the restaurant was very clean, the ambiance was quiet, and the people were friendly.

Great experience! The food was delicious my husband and I both got the Pad Thai. The portion size was great and had enough leftovers for another meal. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice as well. Would definitely go back!

Purchased the orange chicken, online order. The orange sauce was quite good, fresh, and made from scratch. However, the chicken wasn't crispy. The entree doesn't come with rice. I'm not sure why that wasn't explicitly mentioned. Rice isn't that expensive to include in a dish that is $15.99
