The restaurant is more formal when it comes to Thai food, boasting a full dining room with a fish tank. There is also a drink menu which most family Thai restaurants dont have. The food is on the bland / mild side of the spectrum which is nice if you arent looking for something heavy. The chicken satay appetizer is a great start to the meal, and is grilled nicely with sides of peanut dipping sauce. I generally stick with the pad thai, which has nice moist noodles and plenty of flavor from the vegetables and chicken. The food tastes great, and you get healthy portions for the price you pay. The staff is also very friendly. I was a bit concerned on my last visit when I bit into an inedible shrimp tail in a curry that was not supposed to have any shrimp in it. I brought it to our servers attention and she said she would figure out what happened but never gave us an answer.

Well, Ive been making my rounds of many thai restaurants, sort of an adventure to find the best quality for the best price. I dont know, I came to this place and I had some pretty bland drunken noodles and pad see yoo. Thats pretty much what I judge Thai restaurants on. I had to use my own sweet soy sauce at home to give it any life at all. From my experience, you cant critique a restaurant by their curry because they all use prepackaged powders. Also, not to be too rough, but half the veggies at this place were definitely from a frozen package. thats all i guess,

The Pad Thai was subtly seasoned and the appetizer of Crazy Rolls was an interestingly unusual (in a good way) combination of tastes and textures. I walked in for take-out at around six oclock on a Saturday night, and I had my food, steaming hot, as though freshly prepared, in about ten minutes. It was some of the most serendipitously good take-out I have had in a long time. I had enough leftovers for an excellent Sunday brunch.

Food is good and fairly cheap, dinner menu runs from $9.35 for some rice, pad thai, and stir fry dishes up to ~$15.00 for seafood and more elaborate things. Curry Noodle Soup is excellent, have found some of the seafood in their other soups tend to be a bit overcooked and rubbery.

Its over-garnished but still good. Parking is kind of hell in this area, but they also deliver. Kind of cheesy atmosphere with the fish tank on center stage. The waitstaff was kind, but I dont know how attentive or competent they are. The food is still quality though.

I live right down the street and order out from Bamboo Thai all the time (and on occasion eat there). For 2 years I have never gotten sick of their food because it is so delicious and the menu is diverse. Great prices. Great food. Super friendly staff.

The pad thai was sub par. I prefer bangkok bistro in cleveland circle or Montien Thien or brown sugar. Ive had pad thai several places and theres are all better. Not enough of the sauce that gives pad thai that sweetish flavor. Could hardly taste it!

Very delicious and with plenty of interesting, nonstandard dishes on the menu. Nice ambiance and service as well. Its more of a semi casual place, perhaps not ideal for a first date but good for having a nice meal with someone important to you.

I love this place. It is a little ways away but worth checking out. They have this starter called the Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce, which is one the best starters I"ve ever had. All the dishes Ive had have been scrumptious!

Ive never eaten inside of their restaurant, but they have delicious Thai take-out at excellent prices. They are super speedy too--every time we order from here, the food arrives 20-30 minutes faster than we expect it to.

The food wont win any awards but is tasty and well priced. Try the duck for an entree and any appetizer (theyre all pretty good). Could do with friendlier service, but Im here to DEVOUR FOOD, not interact with humans.

This place has a good atmosphere and you can park at whole foods, you just get a pass from them it makes large hangouts easy especially parking in Boston. The restaurant has alot of choices too

I got the Seafood Pik Pow- not impressed with the amount of seafood. There were maybe a few pieces of seafood with a majority of the remaining dish being veggies.

Great pad thai, including the elusive crunchy version. My brother, who spent a few months traveling in Thailand, gave it his thumbs up. Thats good enough for me!

My All-Time favorite Thai place. Great Bubble Tea. Duck is their specialty. Noodles of all kinds are awesome and their saltwater reef tank is beautiful!

Great Thai food. Can be very spicy which = very good. Also big on Social Media, so there are often Groupon or Foursquare deals!
