The absolute BEST! I ordered take out today and got the vegetable soup (the variety of veggies in this is amazing, plus the crispy tofu), cant forget their hot chili oil! The veggie summer rolls are so fresh and the perfect savory light bite with the sweet peanut sauce!! I’ve had the BIGGEST pregnancy craving lately for do chuah and asked if they could give me a large side of it and WOW, I’m in heaven! I’m so so grateful!! I was nauseous all day and this food brought me back to life!! Thank you Bamboo!!! ❤️

One of our favorites! Noodle bowls are delicious and fun to eat. Summer rolls are a great app. BYOB is nice. Service is kinda slow but it’s a relaxed atmosphere so it works. Kids love the chicken soup and fried rice too!

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant, but leaning towards good. The ambiance was good. Nice decorations and throw pillows on booth seats. While the workers did a good job wiping the tables, they didn’t clean the seats. Our seat had food and grease on the seats. The pho was good. The appetizers were well made and meat was marinated and grilled well. The stir fry noodles had way too much fish sauce. The food smelled fishy as we were eating it. Did the finish the food. Overall, I would give this restaurant another try in the future.

Very nice place, I was looking for this type of food on a business trip. Wonton soup was good, and the wontons were tasty. For the meal I got shrimp and vegetables with pan fried rice noodles. Good taste and it was filling too. The hot oolong tea was nice and you get a refill for free. Good place and the staff was nice as well. 5 stars!!

Right, listen up, because this place needs to hear the hard truth. Calling this an authentic Vietnamese restaurant? Not a chance. I get why they’ve toned things down—probably catering to local palates that can’t handle the real punch of Vietnamese flavors. But, as someone who’s grown up on true Vietnamese cuisine from San Jose, Houston, and Dallas, I know what proper Vietnamese food should taste like. We’re a proud food culture, and we demand the best. Sadly, that’s not what’s happening here.
First off, everything on the menu here is overly sweet, like they’ve dumped sugar in every dish. And don’t even get me started on the portions for what they’re charging! A grilled platter “sampler” set us back $17, and what do you get? The meat is so skinny it’s practically see-through, and they rely on noodles to fill up the plate. The marinade? Too damn sweet, like syrup. Sure, the rice noodles themselves are alright, but this isn’t a noodle shop, is it?
Then there’s the pho. That broth is a sugar bath! The noodles aren’t fresh, the meat portions are skimpy, and the balance is all wrong.
And don’t even get me started on the clay pot catfish. $23 for what? Some sad little chunks of fish in a syrupy, thin sauce that was more sweet-and-sour than anything resembling authentic Ca Kho To. They didn’t even bother with a proper clay pot! Instead, it came in a Korean stone bowl. I mean, if you’re charging $23, at least bring the right equipment! This wasn’t rich, caramelized catfish; it was like dessert gone wrong with fish thrown in. Absolute robbery, and completely off the mark for what this dish should be.
The spring rolls were no better. Skinny, with a ridiculous amount of rice noodles and barely any protein. It’s like they’re rationing flavor. Paying for this? You might as well throw your wallet out the window.
Now, the one saving grace? The Banh Beo. Steamed rice cakes with a few toppings and some nuoc mam. It’s hard to mess up. I enjoyed it because, frankly, I can’t get that elsewhere.
So, if you’re into this, go ahead. Keep eating here. But make no mistake—this is not authentic Vietnamese food. Real Vietnamese cuisine is all about balance: a dance of sweet, salty, sour, and fresh flavors, with textures that hit every note. This place? It’s just American-Vietnamese food.

One of my favorite Pho establishments in the entire Philadelphia area. Fast service, clean environment, wonderful staff, and most importantly, DELICIOUS food.
My go-to is the regular beef Pho, summer rolls and hot jasmine tea. If I could give a higher rating, I would!

An awesome Vietnamese restaurant with a menu offering of delicious, mouthwatering dishes. The ambience is very good. The shopping plaza where they are located is convenient to get to. They have plenty of parking. Their bubble teas are very very good. Food is reasonably priced. Good place to go with work colleagues or with your family. Worth giving it a try
