Simply dreadful

The moment we walked in and saw the filthy carpet, we were concerned. We are keen cooks and would have been embarrassed to serve this to guests. The food was bland, unimaginative and portions were huge.

We've had friends talk positively about this place and are completely baffled.

Dreadful.

Limited options

Menu is a bit confusing, so be sure to specify vegan. Cashew vegetables (veganized) were delicious. Pan fried noodles were good, though greasy. Not very many options and it did smell of cooking meat.

Fancier dining

Bambu is a great spot when you want to have a nicer dressed up dinner experience. Many vegan options. On the expensive side.

Cons: Expensive

Bambu was Interesting

The food is Asian fusion, leaning more towards Thai. We arrived late, 8:30 PM, after a long day of driving. Even though the restaurant closes at 9, they were full and we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. We took that as a good sign. But after scanning the menu, there didn't seem to be many vegetarian/vegan choices. However, during the conversation with our server, she informed us that they had a special vegetarian menu and brought that out. So... be sure to ask specifically for the vegetarian menu before you get too involved studying their regular one. I ordered the yellow country curry with tofu (after being informed that the red curry contained fish sauce) and my husband had a veggie fried rice. Coming from Arizona, we're always amused by what Oregonians call "spicy" (not!). Our food was on the bland side by Arizona standards. My curry was downright decadent: sweet, creamy, thick and delicious with a nice variety of veggies. The portion size was about 3x what I could manage. My husband's fried rice dinner serving, however, was minuscule by comparison (about a cup of rice with a few pieces of green pepper), and too sour for my taste. He filled up on some of my curry and there were still leftovers. Odd. We would have preferred brown rice instead of white, but it wasn't on the menu and we forgot to ask. So, overall, I would say it was somewhat over-priced, but interesting, and with a little tweaking, the restaurant could be a real winner.

Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Nice ambience, Very clean

Cons: A little pricey, Unpredictible portion sizes
