Thai Bamboo Bistro

The pepper steak is a m a z i n g. The food comes out so quick, everything from the cool summer spring rolls, yellow curry, and the pad Thai, this place is a hit! Service is quick and efficient, and they have the best lunch specials.

Came here on a Tuesday for lunch. Terrible service from the male server or possibly owner. My husband tried to ask questions about spice level, ingredients but the dude was so dismissive. As for food, it's not good Thai food but it's not bad. A bit overpriced but that's just quail hill. Would not be back as there are better options in this plaza for food - the Korean restaurants are good and if you're feeling like something more formal, definitely check out the Italian trattoria at the other end of the plaza.

After reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant to try Thai Bamboo. I finally broke down and can say that it was better than I expected. Ordered a couple of lunch specials for takeout and when I arrived, I was surprised to see the restaurant was packed for lunch! The lunch specials come with a salad and the non-noodle lunches also include steamed rice.My veggie pad woon sen ($15) did not look like any pad woon sen that I've ever had. The noodles were much thicker and brown - as opposed to thin rice noodles that I'm used to. There wasn't much flavor to the dish either. The noodles for the pad see ew ($15) were much thinner than normal and the dish lacked that "wok hei" flavor that you get with a great pad see ew. On the positive side, the portions were generous.If I return, I'll try my luck with one of the curries.

This is not what I would say a go to Thai place. But if you have a craving for Thai and it's close then this place is satisfactory. I got the curry and it was solid and my coworker got the glass noodles which I snuck a bite and it was decent.

Nice clean place, friendly staff, good foo, ample servings. The chicken Penang is not the best I've ever had but it's not bad. The Tom Yum soup is good.

My friend & I came here after a long hike. We started with the spring rolls - which were absolutely delicious! Fresh, crisp & crunchy. I ordered the Massaman Curry - OHMYGOSH - it was so good! It was flavorful without being too spicy. It was a generous portion - which I finished the next day. I'm bringing my boyfriend here because he smelled my leftovers & was hurt that I wouldn't share (because it's that good)

Yummy spot. I really enjoyed the veggie spring rolls. Service was great. Parking is easy because there's a parking lot.

If you've been following my reviews here as a Yelp Elite Squad bugaboo, you know how I Iove trying out new places to see if they meet my 'G Spots for Your Next Date' list (G stands for 'Great', in case your minds are in the gutter folks hah!)SERVICEExcellent. Greeted us right in and my girlfriend happened to grab a great table where we had a little bit of privacy FOODLoved my creamy coconut chicken dish. It came with rice but I really didn't need it cuz the dish was so tasty yet good enough to eat it like soup. (did I just say 'eat' your 's-o-u-p???) I have one request to the Business Owner. Can you add COKE ZERO SUGAR or PEPSI ZERO SUGAR to your list of Beverages? You'll make more sales especially from peeps like me, since replacing my good old regular sugar-riddled lemonade with Coke ZERO helped me lose 30 lbs! thank you for the applause! HahaPARKINGLoved it. No need to walk down flights of stairs from poorly lit, grubby parking structures. You park your car right in front of the restaurant and you're good to go. AMBIANCEWould I recommend this for your next Date? I'm giving you a resounding YES! Cost effective enough for those of you on a budget, the place looks pretty decent inside. Love the modern, hanging pendants and the warm lighting doesn't cast a hint of wrinkled shadows under my eyes, so that comes in handy during your Date. Ladies, no need to wear your high heels here, super casual jeans and denim jackets work perfectly. Will I come ‍ back? You bet I would! See you soon!

I was in the area and decided to get takeout and boy was it hugely disappointing. The coconut milk soup was really gritty and seemed like it was a powder that someone was too lazy to stir completely, it didn't taste good at all. I also got ginger chicken and it tasted like someone spilled a bag of sugar and a bottle of soy sauce over month old chicken. I had to throw it all away. The ginger didn't even have any ginger flavor whatsoever.

Thai bamboo Bistro in Quail in Irvine is hands down my favorite Thai spot! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My go-to dishes are the spicy chicken fried rice, garlic noodles, black pepper chicken, and the Tom Yum noodle soup--each one packed with incredible taste. On top of that, the customer service is unbeatable. Amy always goes above and beyond to make every visit special. If you're looking for delicious Thai food with top-notch service, I highly recommend Quail!
