Reviews
The servers and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The decor is minimalistic, but with a well-lit, clean attention to detail that presents an overall sense of peace, including subtle touches like the wooden light fixtures which add a nice ambiance. Seating is a mix of tables and booths.
Pho comes out hot and steaming. While the brisket pho is good, and would be enjoyed on its own, the beef rib pho is a show-stealer. Soft and tender, rich and flavorful, this is probably what I’ll be ordering next time. Unless I’m ordering something else – from other reviews it seems the other pho options are where Bamboo Bowl shines.
Recommended restaurant, we’re glad the staff at Bamboo Bowl are part of our community.
Nam greets you like his long-lost nephew, food flying out faster than JSN on a go route. Panko chicken? Crackling armor, juice running clear, begging to dive into the pho (just do it). Grilled pork/Thit Nuong with the caramelized edges and grill marks to prove it (again, dunk it and thank me later). BBQ pork/Xa Xio swims in this perfectly sticky sweet and savory red glory.
Then the pho. Chicken pho/Pho Ga rare order for me, but top notch. Combo pho/Pho Dac Biet, tendon like silk, tripe with snap, broth salted just enough to make you question every bowl before it, maybe even life itself. Chef Special Garlic beef/Pho Tai Lan wraps you in a warm, garlicky hug. Adds something to the broth that you didn’t even know it needed: a revelation that’ll snap you back into coherence. But the beef rib/Pho Suon Bo? Sweet mother of God. Falls off the bone like it just got off a flight from Houston. The fat from the rib seasons the broth into a liquid gold. Pro move: beg Nam for a beef rib garlic pho. Life-altering. It flies out the kitchen so get there mid week if you want a shot at it.
Portions criminally generous, prices reasonable. Nam’s generosity could feed a small village, actually probably has. Complete and utter WIN. Easily best in Snohomish county, and instantly in the conversation for best pho this side of the Cascades. Run, walk, crawl, who cares just get to Snohomish.

What’s makes great food better? Customer service!! The new owner loves to engage with his customers and he offers up the best recommendations. I love feeling like I’m dinning in someone’s personal kitchen.
Thank you and your family for the great service and food.
Edit: I came back to try a new dish I’ve not had before, phở sườn bò, or beef rib pho. It was amazing!! I cannot recommend this spot enough. They also gave us a free yakult (not the yakult brand, but that’s what I know it as… probiotic yogurt drink) before the meal. Great for digestion.
I hope they never leave, and if they do, it will truly be a tragedy. Highly recommend the Thai tea with jelly, the cafe sua da is SO good. And you cannot go wrong with the eggrolls here

The food was incredible. The Pho Dac Biet is amazing, the broth complex, rich and perfectly seasoned. The Pho Ga or chicken pho blew me away with its robust flavor. Marinated grilled pork was unbelievable considering it hasn’t reached its final form, still perfect for Banh mi. Beef Rib Pho is absolutely decadent and qualifies as a proper treat when you’re feeling up to it. His special garlic beef pho is one of the best iterations of pho I’ve ever had and is absolutely worth the try for those looking for something new.
In just a couple visits Nam has managed to make us feel like friends and even family. His prices are wildly reasonable as Nam and his family really set the new standard for service and hospitality in Vietnamese cuisine. Come for the food, stay for the man and his generous, funny and inviting disposition. Bamboo Bowl is a home run!
*Edit. Still 5 stars just wanted to add i got the Pho soup with Extra noodles because I planned on taking a bunch home and they brought me another bowl of broth too. Soo great.
