Bamboo Bistro is a good establishment. Dine-in was not available as of May 2024, but dine in is going to be an option in the summer tentatively. They have vegan options and cusines that can be made vegan upon request. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and ensured all dietary needs were met, which was much appreciated. The quality of the food was excellent and fresh. This spot is well recommended for vegetarian and vegan communities. Overall, this was an excellent experience.
First time here for my friend and me. We dined in and both thought the place is very attractive. The server (I wish I had asked her name) was so friendly and fun to chat with.
I ordered the vermicelli salad bowl with grilled chicken and fried tofu. Also, please try the Thai Tea. The salad was fresh and delicious. Plenty left for another meal.
My friend had the drunken noodles and loved it.
Will definitely go back.
I have got takeout 3 or 4 times,food was good.Tonight was delicious! Got the crispy fried vegetable rolls, chicken pad thai. Was hot,flavorful,loaded with chicken and the rolls were crisp! Worth the money! Didn't dine in tonight,but it is now available and looks nice!
Amazing vegan options! They have an entire vegan menu and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the fried veggie rolls to start, the vegan pad Thai and the vegan beef stir fry with soft lo mein (I couldn’t leave without trying both) and everything was amazing. Best pad Thai I’ve ever tried! Will be back for sure next time I’m in the area!
I’ll start by saying I’m sure this place is great if you’re ordering takeout. As it stands, my fiancé and I went here after some holiday shopping in Westbrook, very hungry and ready for good, warm food. Upon entering, the lone waitress was quite friendly and told us to sit anywhere. We were one of four tables. The restaurant was very cold. It is my opinion that if you’re going to be open for dine-in, you have got to be a comfortable establishment for your patrons. I had fleece lined overpants and a long sleeve and vest on and still ended up shivering and huddled up to my fiancé. After the waitress bringing menus and not asking after beverages while I waited on my fiancé who’d gone to the restroom, and then waiting another, at least 15 minutes just to get drinks, we left. Then the most unique thing happened to us as we were flagged down across the parking lot by the waitress profusely apologizing and trying to say it wasn’t that she doesn’t pay attention as we were trying to get to our vehicle. So odd.
We saw a review that the pad Thai was phenomenal here and it was absolutely true. Delicious and the service was fast and pleasant. We'll be back when we come this way again!
I tried this place because it has a dedicated vegan menu and it is amazing. I will eat here every month forever. Thank you!
The vegan options are many and so good, everything was fresh. We will definitely go back.

Good vegan and gluten free options. Clean healthy food options as well.

I don't know about the food but the smell of burning incense is beyond intolerable. All you smell and taste.

Great thai place! Staff was extremely welcoming and even struck up a conversation about being vegan after I had requested food be made vegan. The pad thai and thai tea were fantastic. Food was delicious and I cannot recommend this place enough!
great service great food!
vegan options were plentiful
The food was terrible, I have only eaten there once and I will never go back. The service was awful and they were rude about me telling them their food was subpar. They told me no one else complains and I was just being a bad customer.
Pad Thai too sweet
Everything was delicious

Fresh. Hot. Delicious. Easy online ordering. Friendly. Great service at pick-up. Excellent lo mein, fried rice, and pad Thai.
1st time ordering from Bamboo Bistro and I will 100% be back for more. I got the chicken and egg roll vermicelli salad and it’s so full of flavor! Looking forward to trying other dishes.
Great vegan options that are labeled clearly.
Love that they have vegan beef.
I've only ever had take out from here but they get it right every time. Helped me get through chemo.. thanks guys! Love their goons.
Food was great. Needed something fast but good for ride back to boston. Did
The trick.
Place is a little expensive but theyve got great crab goons so ill be back.
best Thai food in Maine
beat greasy Chinese takeaway in every category
fresh real food with real flavors
A little hefty on the price, but it's good, filling. Parking spaces out back, staff, sweet, and helpful
We were so excited to get take out from this restaurant and it was awful. Pad Thai was easily the worst I’ve ever had and beef tasted spoiled. $80 wasted, will never order here again.
Best pho ever! We came all the way from Philadelphia and wanted to have a quick take-out dinner at 9pm after the long and tiring drive. But we were surprised by the amazing pho provided by Bamboo Bistro! Thank you!
The food was good and the service was great. They were attentive and friendly and the food was done quickly.
Beef tasted old and spoiled.
Food is good but so expensive. 25 dollars for fried rice and a Thai iced tea… what the heck?
The peanut sauce was different but we decided last minute and ordered chicken pad Thai. It was delicious. Will definitely order again!
Amazing food with excellent service. Highly recommend 👍.
Our takeout food was not good, had to throw it out and find something else eat. Orange chicken was inedible with very few terrible looking veggies. There was NO heat in the building because the furnace is not working?? We're not going back, the only good part was the nice paper napkins!
Drunken noodles was ok, but the chicken pad thai was so sweet it tasted like Smarties candy.
The place is nothing short of spectacular!!! I order Thai food here all the time and their drunken noodle is my go-to order!!! I decided to try their noodle salad bowl the other day which you can build your own and I got it with rolls and grilled chicken. Tasted very delicious!!! Crab rangoons are made with real crab meat too (at least it’s what they told me.) their sweet and sour sauce is addicting also!
Good pad Thai
Best Asian food in town by far! We absolutely love this place. We order it on a weekly basis.
I am a huge fan of the food here, it has always been fresh and hot. And as a bonus their kitchen is open till 10:00 p.m.!
Drove past this place several times and decided to stop by and ordered some pad thai today. Ordered chicken pad thai and it was phenomenal! Plenty of sauce and tasteful. Probably the best pad thai in the area. My wife got chicken drunken noodles and she said it was delicious. Would definitely order from you guys again :)
This was the most disgusting food I’ve tasted the pad Tia was like eating surgery noodles pretty sure that’s not what is supposed to taste like spicy is more what the taste should be. Utterly disgusting will never eat there again and the customer service was horrible as well
The food here is so delicious! Great pad Thai, excellent pho, and my all time favorite dish from any take out style place is their “soft lo mien”!
Perfectly prepared Thai food! The pad thai was flavorful with fresh ingredients and the brussels sprouts are worth ordering. My kids love the pho and it is especially delicious here. Can’t wait to order again!
We ordered delivery recently. It was very quick and everything was fresh and very tasty. The portion sizes are quite large. All in all, I highly recommend you try this great place!
Amazing food!!! Definitely me an my fiancée new goto restaurant
Our new favorite local takeout place in Westbrook! Perfect for a cold Maine winter night, their food is fast, warm, and delicious. Staff is also super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.
I ordered the pineapple fried rice with beef last weekend and it was excellent! The beef was so tender and there were lots of veggies. Thanks Bamboo Bistro!
Extremely fresh veggies in their spring rolls and lo mein. Best I’ve had in Portland area. Very tasty. Not oily.
Love the appetizer platter
A favorite place for Thai food. I am a Chicken Pad Thai and fresh Spring Roll (shrimp) kind of guy.
Quality has increased dramatically since opening. Their pho is tasty and fresh. Appetizers are excellent. Haven't had a bad meal since the initial opening, which caused me to change my review. Great place to eat.
Me and my girlfriend ordered the seafood pho for the second night in a row after swearing we wouldn’t order anymore DoorDash during quarantine because it’s just so delicious. I had a minor problem and called the store and the customer service was impeccable. The pho was nice and hot but the scallops were still perfectly cooked and you can taste the freshness of all the ingredients. I immediately texted my mom and told her she has to try your food. 12/10
Everything is so on point here. Always fresh, all good portions. And the Best Thai Iced Tea in the Greater Portland Area!!
Delicious food and very calm atmosphere.
Delicious Thai food! Love the slice beef rice bowl. I don't usually eat beef but theirs is really tender and full of taste. The egg is cooked perfect, crunchy in the outside and runny yolk on the inside. One of my favorite dished from them. They also have a loyalty card where you get a stamp every $10 you spend and after 10, you get a free appetizer
Great food!
Wonderful assortment of food, great service, and great hosts. Can't wait to go back again!
This is hands down my favorite Asian restaurant in Maine. Everything they serve there is incredible, but the drunken noodles are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The service is amazing and friendly too!
Pretty good thai food.
Love the rice and beef plate!
The best restaurant I have ever gone to, the food is incredible - I actually crave it. The service is fabulous and the food comes wicked fast! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Also, amazing because it offers super flavorful gluten free options.
Awesome food, awesome prices, and fantastic, attentive service from the fantastic, lovely server!! Extremely hardworking!!
Bamboo Bistro is a hidden gem with an unassuming exterior. The interior of the restaurant is humble and simple in origin, but it is clean. Dishes are new and trimmed with gold edges giving it an unexpected feeling of sophistication.
The food is extraordinary, everything is made on site, and tastes very fresh! The owners always greet you with a smile and are happy to see you. They have larger portions and the flavor of their food is outstanding. Dishes are made in a consistent manner and every order has a very pleasing presentation.
Not as good as it used to be but but still tasty. Staff was helpful and friendly.
Yay noodles! Awesome Pho and Asian fusion
Great food! I had an appetizer of crab rangoons, which were excellent. Also the Vermicelli Salad Bowl with sliced pork. It was really good. Many flavors I have never tasted before. Large portions and reasonably priced.
Great food at reasonable prices.
Food was great and priced well
Staff was friendly, effeciant and gracious.
Best Thai in Westbrook Maine! Owners are wonderful people.
Very expensive but the food taste good. Although I almost thought that it wasn't home cooked food
Best thai food in Westbook!
Delicious food, thank you 👍
Excellent food and friendly servic
One of the best Thai places around
Loved it. Great pho and appetizer selection
Food is very good. Good service reasonably priced. Good place for a weekday dinner. Not crowded a hidden gem.
Very nice people and the food is good
So so fresh! Great service! Clean environment!
Pho is excellent. Get tofu/vege. Be sure to ask for vegetable broth to make it vegan.
Cool
Love the food at Bamboo Bistro, but the customer service is going downhill! Maybe it's just a learning curve for the new waitress?! I have been left "on hold" for 10+ min one day- I completely understand that things get busy, but I am not sure that was the reason.. The second example, my family went in to eat and we were left sitting at our table for an additional 20 after we finished eating- and the table was cleared, waiting to get the check. We were one of two tables in the place- so again being busy wasn't the reason this happened. The last chance was earlier this week I ordered lunch to go and part of it was left out of the bag... and no utensils. I will give it a month and try them again, because the food it really good.
Welp I waited 4 weeks and went there for lunch, their service was outstanding, and their food was exactly the same- great! Please Bamboo Bistro stay this way!
The food and drinks are always good. Excellent and prompt service. Will recommend to anyone!
Very good Pho and wings at super prices!
Great food! Great service! Even made sure that the vegetarian in our family got a vegetable broth instead of a beef broth for the soup she ordered that normally has beef broth. Best of all, if you can't get out to get it, or don't want to, they deliver!
They make a great Bun bowl.
Had to drop a coyple stars from my rating. We've eaten here at least a dozen times and finally had a bad experience. We went in and it was about 10 minutes before anyone came into the dining room to even greet us, we already had seen another potential patron leave from waiting. After we were acknowledged we were given menus water told specials and the waitress promptly went to the back room, we were already ready to order at least drinks, though we also knew what food we were going to order. After avout a ten minute wait alpne in the dining room, we gave up and left. Hopefully this will be thebobly bad experience we have, I dont think we will be chancong it for a while.
Great authentic food
The flavors of the Pho, Drunken Noodle and Vietnamese rice plate are all delicious. The flavor is delicate and not overly seasoned. Spring rolls, Rangoons and many of the appetizers are also amazing. Service is always so nice and fairly prompt.
Tasty food made fresh and attentive service
Incredible service and great food!
They have the best pho around! The pad thai is also some of the best I've ever had, and they give you so much of it. The staff is friendly and always get my order correct. The restaurant is clean and comfortable.
Really good food and very reasonable prices, a cool atmosphere and I had really good service. I’ve had Pho all over and there’s is amazing here!!
If you are looking for amazing food they are the place to call. Eat in some out or even delivery. Just amazing and very friendly.
Good food I had 🦆
So delicious at a VERY reasonable price! Immediate service. I will definitely be back‼️‼️
Went here tonight with 2 picky family members. Excellent food for a great price... and there will be leftovers for days! Looking forward to going back to try the other options.
Been there three times. Two were great. One, not so much. Still looking for "Best Thai Food" restaurant in Portland, ME area.
Bamboo Bistro has favorite Pad Thai from any of the dozens of Thai restaurants I've eaten at. There's something unique about it, a hint of smokiness, that I loved. All the other foods I've tried were very good as well.
Great food, excellent service. Will definitely order out/ dine in again!
Great service I will be stopping by again.
Great Pad Thai!
My husband and I highly enjoyed our dinner of Pho and stir fry. Great flavors with fresh ingredients. Great service too.
Will executed Vietnamese food at a fair price.
Awesome food & service!
Good pad thai
Great meal. Lots of interesting flavors and the best Rangoons evah! Staff were so helpful and FUN!
Real Asian food that really good
The food is great! The service is too! Fresh produce, and lots of tlc. Also the prices and portions are just what I like. (Lots of food, competitive prices )
Great staff and great food at reasonable prices. One of the best places in town.
Excellent food. I have dined in twice and ordered take out once. Excellent Pad Thai and Pho, both chicken and Seafood. Service is prompt and friendly. It can be chilly near the windows in the winter evenings. Very casual and relaxed.
We ordered the drunken noodles, and Chicken Pad Thai. both dishes were excellent.
Had lunch here with a friend the other day & sat at one of the sunny window tables; very clean establishment, and very quick & friendly service with fresh ingredients. She had a beer with her meal, but I had to go back to work so opted for tea. The chicken pho bowl was delicious (I added a little shiracha sauce and all the fresh jalapeños as I love spicy food). Highly recommend to anyone & definitely going back myself. Parking is right after the building on the right, if you miss it there's street parking on the left, or you can just go around the circle and try again ;)
