The menu leans into Vietnamese classics done well. Regulars point to the generous shaved ice that's cold, refreshing, and big enough to share, along with bowls of che that are rich and filing. If you prefer something to sip, the boba drinks are a steady favorite, and the made-to-order waffles in flavors like taro and pandan come out fresh and impressively large.

Sign in to reviewCame 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.
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…
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.
I've ordered the taro and pandan waffle. The size is ginormous and made fresh to order. I gave 4 stard because the flavor isn't strong and very faint. It would be better if they used more coconut and pandan flavor and put bits of mashed taro into the waffle.
This is a cute place with lots of nice seating! The staff is very nice. The macaroons are ACTUALLY GOOD (lots of places have nasty ones lol), my husband's jasmine milk tea was one of the best ones we've had, and my iced Vietnamese coffee was really well-balanced while still being quite strong. We'll definitely be back, the snow ice and mochi waffes looked good!
