Bamboo Noodle House

High review is for how delicious the food is, but minus 1 star because service is average.I dined here by recommendation of my sister and mother and ever since then, I've been hooked on their Hu Tieu Nam Vang Kho (Hu Tieu Dry Rice Noodle). I always arrive hungry and I will end up devouring the entire bowl serving. I usually have difficulty finishing my food [quickly] but every time I receive my order, my appetite is ravenous and I can't help but dig in!I also enjoy their egg rolls (4 rolls for about $6), which pairs well with their sweet chili sauce (different from the usual fish sauce that would be served, but still delicious!).The porridge is yummy as well. I've only ordered the blood and intestines porridge, but it tastes better with the Chinese donuts (separate order for about $3) soaked or dipped in the porridge. Sorry, no photos included of the egg rolls or porridge because we eat them all too fast!I never really expect fantastic service from a Vietnamese restaurant so in comparison to other Viet restaurants, the service here is actually pretty average. The tables aren't usually cleaned right away when it's busy and the servers rarely stop by, only to refill your water, and neither do they bring you your takeout order or paycheck if you dine in so you have to go to the cash register after you finish your meal. You won't be receiving any fake customer service so they may come off as direct or rude BUT the food is filling and reminds me of home (street food in Saigon, Vietnam). If not for the service, I would recommend this restaurant for food.

This review is strictly only on the food because when you go to a mom and pop Vietnamese shop the service is very unpredictable. I've been here multiple times where the service was on point and times where it was horrible. It does get really busy so it's also very understandable. The ambiance is fast paced. You can be in and out within an hour. I usually only order the Phnom Penh noodle with fresh noodles. It's the best in town. I've been to other places but it does not beat this place.

Food is great! They have the most authentic Hu tieu nam vang in the area. The lort cha was good as well. We tried the mango salad appetizer, amazing balance of sournes and spiciness, it literally makes your mouth water and make you eat more. Service was not bad either. Ambiance is just ok, the inside looks like any other vietnamese restaurant.

This is one of the best places that serves Phnom Penh, and I feel it's really underrated. I took my family here, and my mom was skeptical since she had her own favorite spot, but she was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and gave her approval. I do wish the portions were a bit bigger; however, it doesn't stop me from coming here a few times a month because the food is just so tasty!

I always felt that Bamboo Noodle House was a little hole in the wall even though it is right on Stockton Blvd. This restaurant has and will always be one of my favorite Hu Tiêu Restaurants in Sacramento. You don't come here for the service or for the ambience. You come here for the hot, comforting broth, the fast service, delicious flavorful Hu Tiêu broth that hits every single bite you take. For a hangover, getting over a cold, searching for comfort foods, this is the spot I will go to and it fixes me every time. We got the spring rolls and mango salad to start. And the mango salad is always top tier and my favorite. Perfect amount of sour, sweet, and spice. The spring rolls tasted like how they were supposed to with lots of vegetables and herbs and tasted fresh. The peanut sauce was warm and inviting with each dip. Quickly after, my Clear noodle Hu tiêu came out and per usual, I take a quick sip of the scorching hot broth and fill it with condiments and vegetables. The Thai Iced Coffee was great , would definitely get it again. We ended the meal with their coconut jelly in a fresh coconut. It wasn't too sweet and tasted refreshing with a hint of sweetness for after the meal. 10/10, would always return. :)

One of my go to place for the dry seafood noodle...aka 'hu tieu' dry version. Is the best in town. But Juz notice lately lots had changed in this restaurant. Service had gotten poor, food has gotten down to average. Hopefully they pick back up to where they first started .. meanwhile I'm gonna take a break for now.

Mom's been begging me to take her here after their grand opening. She was there on the grand opening day, but the the food took over an hour to come out and that just made everything tasted a bit disappointed. We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was surprisingly not as busy as we thought and got a seat right away. The ambiance is like any of your typical asian restaurants, basic. At least they were playing some Christmas music and a asian cooking channel. What's better to eat food and watch a cooking show? I ordered the Phnom Penh Noodle with pork heart, calamari, and shrimp (they gave one each on the last two). I had it with clear noodle as well, which made everything better....for me. My mom ordered Pak Low noodle soup. She's been craving for it, in like, forever. They only come in one size, so she had to split it. Fortunately, mine have options - small or large. The flavor on mine was pretty good, the broth was clean and simple. Nice broth just to drink on a cold afternoon. I do wish the pork heart were sliced a bit thicker and maybe an additional calamari and shrimp. Overall I was satisfied with it and don't even have to talk about my mom. She was raving about it as she was slurping a spoonful of noodles and soup. Although, what I found surprising was that they charged hot tea $1pp. Not a lot of money, but we're just used to those as being complimentary. If we knew, we wouldn't have ordered it. My mom didn't have any. Just a nice warm-your-hands-while-you-wait for food.I'm sure mom will come back whenever some drives her there. =)

Was looking for a new southeast Asian spot to try and Bamboo Noodle got the call one Saturday afternoon. Their food is amazing and perfectly portioned. It is just the ideal combination of savory with a touch of sweet to balance out any overpowering heat or saltiness. But the food bursts with flavor, char, and texture. On this afternoon I sampled the Lort Cha and it is sort of like a pad kee mao in a way, but also so different in its own way. I loved the accompanied sauce this has to season to your liking. My server was very attentive and kept my water and tea filled. She stopped by several times to make small talk about what brought me in and how did I find them, etc. I really enjoyed the interaction as it made me feel right at home. This spot is easy to find and the color helps! The inside is very spacious and clean, with tvs on to watch your local favorites, paired with the latest Asian dramas -- my favorite combination. I can't wait to come back and try some of the satays and noodle plates. Some of my table mates scattered around seemed to be going in on those so will definitely be back for some new adventures soon.

I order this for my son and said no bean sprouts and green onion for whatever price this was and the portion this came out is crazy to me. This is very sad. Decided to try here for the first time and what a disappointment.

Strictly review on food. One of the best Cambodian food place. Phnom Penh noodle is the best. loves Lotus root salad.
