Bamboo Garden

I am here at Bamboo Garden Thai Cuisine, enjoying lunch. Today I ordered A Tomkha Soup, it has coconut milk base soup with mushrooms, galangal, cilantro, & lime juice. Choice of seafood combination. It is very deliciously tasty. I also ordered Pad Thai, it consists of stir-fried egg noodles in tamarind sauce with egg, green onions and bean sprouts, crushed peanuts. It is my first time tasting this meal courses & I am happily satisfied. Thank you Nick for taking my meal order you are very generous and humble. Thank you to all the staff in the kitchen as well for preparing the meals. Thank you so much & God Bless!

I know their food is so delicious but I had a very awful situation and This happen last night to me. They are so neglect. My husband order red curry duck. One spicy 🌶 and the other one “NO” spicy, (0) When I ate one bite I noticed is spicy then I feel reaction as my throat kind of close, shortness of breathing, immediately I drink one glass of milk and go outside for a walk… if you are allergic something don’t believe however they put in the Tupperware. If you have somebody test for you that is good.

Pros: nice service, really good egg roll appetizer with sauce Cons: glass goblets and paper plates and plastic forks? The flavors aren't as developed as other Thai restaurants we frequent. It's sad, I'm not even looking forward to eating my leftovers, which is usually such a fun thing about eating Thai food. Another thing is there is no bathroom.

I heard that the workers here are Chinese so not sure if it's owned by Thai people are not. Based on their pad Thai recipe it was not authentic. I can see why people would still enjoy their food if they never grew up eating real Thai food... This is the first time I had it with thin pho noodles. The cuts of meats were not uniformly chopped up and was chewy. It looked and tasted like it was precooked. The flavors were too tart and the noodles were soggy plus the sauce was watery. Noodles easily broke apart. I asked for a level 6 spicy and it was not even a level 1. It even smelled like lemons. The flavor was okay but I wouldn't call it pad Thai. The fried rice was also soggy and bland. This is more like Asian fusion food but they tried I guess.

Nice, clean, small restaurant in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch area. The woman behind the counter/waiting tables was friendly and helpful. I had the spicy noodles and larb salad and both were good. However... I asked for an 8 out of 10 on the spicy scale and I felt it was more like a 4. I guess it's better to err that way than to have it too hot. Maybe next time I'll ask for a 10.
