Their desserts are not for me, but I can tell it’s good quality and made well. I’m not used to the sweet red beans taste, but I like the coconut flavors here.

Came for dessert after lunch. There are many options to choose and all are tasty and delicious. Shaved ice is cold and yummy. Make sure you have people to share with because it's huge. Drinks with boba or che are always good options too. Che is very filling so be sure to save room if you go after eating a meal like we did. I like the Bambu special or combo because they put real fruit into the cup. But be careful, it's very filling. If you can't eat it all, you can save it for the next day. Fruit is still good as leftovers.

I dunno why I never review this spot. My fave fave spot for refreshing coconut juice with some jellies. So healthy and tasty. You can also get it without sugar.
Bambu special 5/5 My ultimate go to and I do no sugar just to feel even more healthy.
Matcha shaved ice 3/5 Not my fave but good concept.
Cheese cake shaved ice 3/5 This was okay. I always just stick with my drinks here.

Tried coming here for a few years. Couldn’t get here except on sat afternoons and it’s always packed. Stopped by on a weekday Friday right at opening time, and it was completely empty. Service was great. Tables and seating area are thoughtful. Single, double tops, a sofa, a dining table size larger table for group study or just to spread out with a laptop were all available. Drinks are not my combination or style and I chose one of their top drinks… but I hear it’s a Vietnamese and a BAMBU classic and you should def go! I’ll try a regular plain Vietnamese coffee next time. Plenty of parking but my friends have been carjacked at this exact parking multiple times, so you need to watch where you’re parking and keep an eye on your car and random minivans that are circling the lot and never ever leave cash or bags in your car. The worst is the side entrance of Kim Son & Pelicana chicken. Finally, I think 9.12 for the smaller sized drink (medium?) and tax before tip is a bit much for 1 drink…

The prices have gone up significantly for the drinks especially #1 and the shaved ice. Will not be back when there are many new places on Bellaire.

I can no longer endorse this place because of the insane pricing.
I don't live near the area but has swung by to get the Bambu Special No. 1 and the Thai Green Tea for as long as I can remember. I haven't done so in a few months until today. Come to find out they increased the No.1 from $8.5 to $9.5 for a *medium* in as few as 4 months. Last year, I remember paying $7.
The Thai Green Tea is $7.5 for a large (same size as a standard cup from 7 Leaves or other establishment). No toppings, no boba.
$18+ for 2 beverages doesn't seem sustainable. I will not be back for a while, especially when a few other places offer Thai Green Tea.

Nice place to visit and stay a little later than most desert shops. However their black tea is very weird tasting and not the best tasting.....
Not only that the prices are little high for a simple milk tea with nothing but milk and black tea that is $6.50

The restroom is extremely dirty and always has a strong, unpleasant odor. I can’t tolerate the unsanitary conditions.
Cute shop, tried it once and liked their drink so went back today (Christmas day) before work to get an iced hazelnut mocha (same drink I previously ordered. Shop was very busy and upon ordering we mentioned please rush order to go since I have to go to work. Not only did they take 20 minutes for one drink, but they did not make it properly. I did not ask for a cup of only coffee and gigantic bag of ice. I have a 30 minute commute to work why the hell would I want to sit here and assemble my own drink and then have a melting bag of ice sitting in my car? This is the same drink I ordered just a day before and it was normal. What the actual hell is this. Beyond frustrated with the order and with the service. It does not take extra time to just hear a guest say “hey I’m in a rush” even if u don’t rush. And it is so ridiculous to take 20 minutes to make ONE unfinished drink. Why the hell would I want to scoop ice into my drink myself with non sterile hands on my drive to work? This makes no sense. Never had a shop hand me a giant bag of ice. It was too busy to have them fix it im sure they would have, but I was already running behind to work and not willing to wait another 20 minutes for them to fix this ridiculousness. Very frustrating. This situation is quite ridiculous.

First time in Chinatown, I went to this Vietnamese Dessert place. Seems a local spot for Asian people, I did try the shaved ice with mixed berries and was really good, quantity was more than enough! Tasty and soft in the mouth, also tried the dessert drink from and a friend and was approved. Definitely worth trying it.
