We arrived at this restaurant right when it opened for the evening and barely managed to get a table because it was fully booked. As we dined, the place quickly filled up, and the wait time nearly reached an hour. The restaurant's popularity is evident, so it's wise to make reservations in advance. The acclaim is well-deserved, though, as the food was very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

No leftovers! We ordered takeout and got three entrees and one appetizer for two people at $75. They upcharged the appetizer. Got home and realized that entrees were in containers that were less than half full.

We came to this restaurant right when it opened in the evening, and we were barely able to get a table because it was fully booked. As we were dining, the restaurant really filled up, and eventually the wait time almost reached an hour. This restaurant clearly is very popular and it makes sense to make reservations in advance. The popularity is well-deserved though, since the food was very good, and we really enjoyed the time we spent here.

A group of 5 people dined there this evening and liked the wine, Cornish hen, shakey beef, and fish in clay pot. The sour fish soup was too sweet and not sour enough. The flan was so-so. Service was good. Had to ask for chopsticks. I guess most of the customers were not the chopstick type.

Everyone else's food was good except mine so minus a star lol. I ordered ahead for pick up 3 appetizers and 2 main dishes about $95. Our food was ready when promised and packed well no leaks. Barbeque chicken wings were awesome. Both types of imperial rolls were excellent and still crispy even though I hit traffic getting it home and came with ample lettuce, herbs and sauce. The peanut sauce we liked the best. Clay pot Salmon was small but tasty. Jasmine tea was terrible I decided to spit it out and toss it after the third sip. Vegetable fried rice was lacking the " fried" aspect more like undercooked dry vegis tossed in leftover rice so I couldn't recommend that dish. Overall decent, a bit pricey but typical for that area.

Súper cozy. Very good service. Pho is delicious. We curated a few of their appetizers and shared a bowl of noodles. It didn’t disappoint. ?

Feb 14th. Was able to reserve and enjoyed a wonderful 6:30 pm dinner at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant with healthy delicious food! Always great service!
My friends and I always say “don’t ever go to Le Bambou”. Not the greatest food.

I wouldn't classify Le Bambou as super-authentic, but it offers a great mix of classic dishes (like clay pot fish, fruit for dessert) and homey fair in a way that's really approachable for anyone. We had the clay pot rice, which was excellent, the ground shrimp springroll appetizer, lychee, and vietnamese coffee. We also had another dish but I'm pretty sure it wasn't what I ordered since it was supposed to come in a spicy tomato sauce and seemed more like a non spicy tamarind, but it was still quite good even if I'm not sure what it was on the menu.The ambiance gets a 5/5 easily. It's laidback and quiet, with candles and low lighting. The goal was to find someplace we could have a quiet, slow date night with a nice glass of wine and this absolutely hit the spot. Service was awesome and it was a really comfortable experience.

Delicious food every time. Courteous quick service and the best roast duck around. The Imperial Rolls are bomb and they have the Best Iced Coffee in town!
