Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a really long time!! Wonderful family-owned restaurant with great service and even better tasting food. Would highly recommend trying out their specialty teas and mango sticky rice!

We had the most amazing time at Bambuu, delicious food, nice atmosphere, super friendly and fast service. We loved the steamed sea bass, Esan sausage, chicken liver, and their papaya salad is 2d4. Highly recommend to all the foodies.

Wonderful Hidden Gem !!!! Was given a suggestion by a friend to give Bambu in Richardson a try if I enjoyed Thai food, which I do. Thought I would drop in for lunch today and found a "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson that everyone should put on their regular restaurant list. Met at the front door with a fantastic greeter in a young lady that continued as our waitstaff throughout the meal and we could not have asked for better service - it was fabulous ! Now to the most important - the food, two dishes were ordered at our table and both of them went above board on appearance and taste. The first one was Panang Curry - we decided to order this on a spice level 2. You can order on spice levels 1-3. Our decision was perfect for our taste. Very spicy but not over the top that it masked the tastes of the ingredients which included Chicken,coconut milk, bell pepper, zucchini, kaffir lime leaves, Thai basil all swimming in a broth that was incredible. Off to the side was a mound of Jasmine Rice - our decision was to combine the two into one dish and what an amazing combination we achieved. Our second dish was the Bambu Specialty Crab Fried Rice which came with just the right amount of ingredients of meat, egg, tomatoe, onion, and scallions. It came out as a fried rice dish that made a meal in itself with no need for any addition seasonings. The owners of the establishment came over and introduced themselves to us due to the fact that we had been referred to them and they were so gracious and had their space so well decorated in the era to note not only present time asian cultures but past time asian cultures as well. The interior was very well done. So if you have not found this "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson, venture off to the southeast corner of Coit/Campbell - trust me, you will not be disappointed !!

If I cooked Thai food, I would hope it would taste exactly like this incredible meal. I ordered 1 in heatness...their scale is 1-3...and I found it to be a 0. Maybe my tastebuds are getting braver...hahaha. We got there early just two couples and when we left packed. Oh, and takeaway was busy,too. The upfront workers were more than pleasant. We’ll be back.

AMAZING food! Flavors were so unique. Not like traditional Thai restaurants but all flavors and combinations my husband, friends and I thoroughly enjoyed. Family run business. Service was exceptional. Always served and took the time to explain what it was and how it should be eaten. We ordered family style so everyone can taste a variety of dishes. That’s what I recommend you do as well. Go try it out! You won’t be disappointed but instead be transported to northern Thailand. .

Our new favorite Thai restaurant. The service is friendly and the waitress made some awesome recommendations so we try some new dishes. The cured sausage/meat was very good. The fried rice was a surprise. Didn’t expect fried rice to be so tasty. LOL. The desserts were creative and more transitional ones were great. Check it out.
