Golden Bamboo Vegetarian Restaurant

I ordered the fried calamari & the crab tomato noodle soup which made me feel sick, and this was my first meal of the day so it was definitely due to this restaurant. I ended up vomiting for the next hour or so, which is something that doesn't happen often for me. I won't be eating here again, and I wouldn't be recommending this to others either.

Great spot! The stand out dishes were the salad sample platter and the duck steam buns and both were incredible. 10/10 presentation (dry ice on the sample platter and a DIY steam bun set up) and were so tasty. The mock meats were flavorful and had diverse textures. Very vegan-friendly and could easily be gluten-free. Looking forward to coming back to try more dishes.

We had lunch at this place today. Food was excellent. Service was great. Place is clean and has great ambiance. It was our anniversary and they served us a free dessert. Will surely go again.

The pomelo salad (seasonal) was very good, especially if you are one for tangy, citrusy flavors. Amazing presentation too.

Salted fish fried rice was good too - it had a nice crunch to it.

Portions are generous - two of us shared a rice, soup and a salad and it was more than enough.

Super duper cute little restaurant. Literally feel like you are walking into a mini Buddhist temple. They have decorations everywhere including the ceiling. If there was a nice breeze going through the restaurant I would think we were outside somewhere in a meditation room or a forest.

I really like their lemon and orange infused water. I felt like it was a very nice start to my dinner.

We ordered the red and green curry. A friend and I shared the two dishes, so we can try both. We could have ordered one and shared. They even gave us a huge serving of rice.

It was seriously the biggest serving of rice l've gotten anywhere. The Thai fried rice was a little dry, but it was still very tasty.

I really like the atmosphere of this restaurant, and I can tell they really pay attention to details here. I think it's a great restaurant, and if we are in the mood for a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, we will be back!

A little over priced. Used to be little mom and pop delicious little restaurant. Bathroom facilities could be a bit nicer considering the rest of the atmosphere and price. Food was really good, it you’re more paying for try hard atmosphere

I've seen this place for so long but never tried it because I am not a vegetarian. But today we decided to give it a go. And we were not disappointed!

First off, the decor is amazing. Cultural yet modern and still elegant. That sets the tone. Seated quickly but took some time to explore the menu, as all the items were new to us.

Started with the Nam Rang Muoi, aka Salt & Pepper Oyster Mushrooms. These are battered and deep fried. Very nice start.

Next was Ca Ri Vang, aka Yellow Curry, which we added fake chicken. The sauce was very nice. It came with white rice. It may be nit-picky, but the rice wasn't great. Clumpy.

Next was Hu Tieu Xao Thai Lan, otherwise known as Pad Thai. This was pretty good but a little too sweet for me. But I didn't see any Pad See Ew on the menu, which I like better.

For dessert was the Mango Sticky Rice, also named Xoi Xoai. This one needs work. It's coated witha white sauce which I thought was condensed milk, but it wasn't sweet at all, so maybe it was evaporated milk, which isn't sweet enough because the mango wasn't that sweet. And again, the clumpy rice wasn't good.

"We were craving a delicious vegan meal and stumbled upon this hidden gem. The restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, although it can get a bit noisy when it gets crowded. We opted for the salad sampler, which was absolutely fantastic, and the duck baos were also very tasty. The clay pot pork was decent, but the other dishes were definitely the highlights. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu."
