Reviews for Bambu Thai Cuisine in Elmhurst, IL

First time here and ordered lunch special and it was alright but definitely had better ones. Price is reasonable for the amount... and taste but doubt will give it another try since I don?t live in the area. Also place feels very old and outdated. Read more

I like the pad see ew. The price may look like a lot but its a serving for 3 to 4 peeps in my opinion. So I usually will make... it into that amount of servings. In the end its a reasonable price. Its not soupy, good consistency. Right amount of meat. Read more

We went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago. When we got there, only two other tables were occupied (one table was actually... leaving by the time we sat down). We ordered their appetizer sampler, wonton soup, pepper steak, basil chicken, fried rice andnoodles. The sampler was okay. The beef in the steak was overcooked. In fact, it was probably the worst beef I've ever had. Myjaw was aching by the time I was done with my first serving of their pepper steak. The chicken tasted old (like it was left inthe freezer a little too long). The wonton soup wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The noodles was good but the fried rice madeup for that by being bland and tasteless. And the worst part was we had to wait for a while to get the server's attentionbecause he didn't bring us plates or utensils even though we asked him when he brought the entrees. The fact that there was onlyone other table that had patrons gave him room for no excuses (being busy and such). I usually visit a restaurant atleast twicebefore forming an opinion (to give them the benefit of the doubt). The experience here was so sub-par that we won't be visitingthem again. Read more

Came in for a quick lunch, ordered the lunch specials $10+$1 Upcharge for beef. Meal was extremely salty and sweet. Beef pieces... were terribly tough. Total bill was almost $20 after tip. Honestly I didn't even care to check, because food was awful and Iwon't be back. Shame, I thought it'd be a better experience with all these great reviews. Read more

While this definitely caters a bit to the average suburban audience, this is a solid choice for some Thai style food in this... area. Flavors are good, portions are absurd and they have a few special treats like the Thai iced coffee and the Thai iced teawhich were amazing. Read more

Excellent food! Have had several Thai dishes and loved them all. Only thing I did not care for was the egg drop soup, but that... is a drop in the bucket compared to all the marvelous food that is there Read more

I grew up eating and loving authentic Thai food and ate delicious food in Thailand. This place is actually legit. They have some... non-Thai items on their menu that are alright, but their Thai food is where it's at. Their Kow Soi is so creamy and good; PadKee Mao delicious; Bamee & Wonton with BBQ Pork is clean and yummy; Pad Thai wasn't traditional, but still tasty. Read more

Nothing but good! I ordered the Spicy Bambu Chicken lunch special. I asked for medium spicy and it tasted as I would've expected... heat-wise - Great flavors! Ingredients were fresh, it was more than enough for one meal, and the little egg roll was good. Allfor less than $10 including tax. My first time here, but I'd definitely return. Read more
