In Short
Housed along a highly residential stretch of Comm. Ave., Bamboo is located within walking distance of hundreds of budget-minded students and young professionals. It's a good thing, then, that the eatery churns out large portions of reasonably-priced noodle and rice dishes. The surprisingly modern interior is awash in bold colors and modern accoutrements. Beyond the expected pad Thai and fried appetizers, the menu contains items like steamed lemongrass mussels and curry duck.

Key Points

  • Authentic Thai and Curry
  • Savory and Affordable Dishes
  • Notable Beer and Wine List

Great Chinese Buffet

by Mark H. | insider Insider | Rank: 16,652

This is a great place to eat luch. The quality of the lunch buffet is great, even including a good assortment of Sushi! A word of caution though is that the buffet is only open during lunch hours. I was not as pleased with their diner menu.

Very typical but very good Thai

by Mike M. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 2,613

Bamboo has a wide variety menu of typical Thai food. Their spring rolls and satay are very good quality, and very reasonably priced. Their is a wide variety of noodle, rice, meat, and seafood dishes to choose from. Some of their seafood mix noodle dishes are very very reasonably priced and you get a lot of fresh tasting seafood. Their pad tai is also a good deal, getting enough for lunch the next day. There is valet parking as well as parking near by. Good for dining in as well as quick and easy takeout.

Excellent Thai food

by S. J. | insider Insider | Rank: 15,110

A great place to go with a couple or a group of friends. Authentic Thai menu, but nothing too exotic or spicy for American tastes. Food is excellent and don' t miss the fried ice cream at the end of the meal! Only problem is parking on Comm Ave. Better to take the T.

fantastic food, romantic, ambient, great service, wonderful experience overall

by n0jerz_973

This place has some of the best Thai food I have ever had. Huge chunks of chicken in the tom kha gai soup, and even the bamboo soup is incredible. Everything I've ever eaten there is amazing. The only downside is that when the staff members aren't serving or bussing, they tend to watch the customers they do have, and that made me a little uncomfortable. And the huge drape in front of the door, I'm not sure what that's for. Either way, Bamboo is one of the two best Thai places in Boston (the other being Island Hopper, which is a bit more ritzy and expensive).

Pros: fantastic food, good service, romantic, ambient, great atmosphere and high quality Thai cuisine

Cons: unnecessary huge drape in front of door, staff members watch customers eat when bored

a regular haunt

by benned

I live nearby, so what could be better? Honestly, you just don't get too many places like this. The vegetables are always fresh, which is oh so important in these parts; that helps make the quality of the food consistent and good. Beyond dependable Pad Thai, try the curries, the drunken noodle, or just a simple salad and bamboo soup. Service is always friendly. Parking is hard but if you know the spots or can do take-out, it's not too bad. The lunch deals are excellent and deserve a mention as well.

First Visit

by always_hungry

First visit after passing by for weeks. Parking is impossible so as you go in, ask for a free parking permit for the bank lot around the corner. They have a deal worked out so you don't get towed. Casual and spotless clean colorful setting. Dress is jeans to jacket and tie. We had Country Chicken and Crispy Pad Thai. Very nicely presented and delicious. I am ready to return to try other selections on the large menu. Highly recommend.

Friendly and Tasty

by dollycastelli

Upon entering Bamboo, I was delighted by the brightly colored paintings and place settings and the pleasant service. I started with the spicy papaya salad and it was incredible. The dishes that followed were also excellent. The service was wonderful and the dishes were moderately priced. It was so nice to be in a restaurant that was so pleasant all around...from the ambiance to the food to the smile I received upon walking out the door. A perfect place for a Thai experience.

Pros: Variety in Dishes, Wonderful ambiance, Friendly service

Nice student eat

by poochiegal

I would describe this as a nice student eat, accessible by the T.

They have a decent enough range. The curries are recommened but everything comes with lot of veggies and very little sauce(which explains the spice)

Some Thai beers are available.

Appetizers aplenty but short on desserts.

Pros: inexpensive, wide-range, located in studentare

Cons: not authentic thai

Great food - low price

by tbink

I was very happy with the relatively low price for an excellent meal. The "create your own" noodle dish option was great (I recommend the spicey basil sauce).

The food was delicious. You are given a choice of several rices and noodles to go with your meal. The service was great as well. Very pleasant and efficient without breathing down your neck.

Pros: Very Clean Bathroom, Prompt Service, Huge Variety of Meals
