Bamboo Bistro

Arrived Friday for an early dinner to avoid the crowds. Got there about 530pm and it started to fill up fast. Service was very prompt and friendly. Loved the food, not too salty or greasy. Coconut Shrimp spring rolls were tasty and the Chicken Pad Thai had the familiar flavors which was enjoyable. Also had a small Won Ton Soup and the broth hit all the right notes, delicate and subtle. My wife really liked our side order of egg plant which was cooked nicely and came with a traditional egg roll sauce.

This restaurant is amazing!
I left very happy and very full. The meals are a really decent size and the service was great. Our server Ethan was very helpful and helped me in fulfilling my allergy request for gluten free. The food was full of flavour! I have just returned from Vietnam myself and this was the best Vietnamese meal I have ever had. I highly recommended and look forward to returning in the near future.
Shout out to our server Ethan, wonderful service and very attentive and helpful.

Had a solo dinner here after sunset.
Always loved the food, thought I’ll leave a review today
Ordered:
1. Steak pho
2. Banana fritters

Absolutely delicious food, high-quality, and all fresh ingredients! One of my favorite place in Orange County!

We had pho ca, fish soup. It was so good. Not too much noodles, which is how I like it. We also had Bun with lemongrass chicken. OMG, it felt like home. So good. Excellent serviced. We were here around 4:30pm. There was no waiting.

Every meal was incredibly flavorful and unique! Service was great and it’s a nice environment. The Filet Mignon Red Curry was so savory and delicious!

Bit of a long wait, but well worth it! Good sized portions. Everything was really tasty! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, beef curry, house special clay pot, and the seafood bird nest. Everything was well seasoned and fresh

This is a cute little restaurant near Corona Del Mar beach. The ambience is very cosy and the service is great! There were good vegan options on the menu. We had spring rolls with peanut dip, Noodle soup and Pad Thai noodles. The Pad Thai noodles were a bit oily but tasty and the other two dishes were very fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place for a delicious meal with a relaxed ambience.

Bamboo Bistro in Newport Beach is a culinary gem with a remarkable history. Founded by Chau Dang Haller, whose family owned the famous Hoa Binh French boulangeries in Nha Trang, Vietnam, this restaurant is a testament to her culinary expertise and passion for healthy dining. As a licensed dietician, Chau has infused her menus with nutritious options that appeal to Newport Beach's health-conscious beachgoers.

I recently had the pleasure of trying their Roasted Duck Spring Rolls ($8), and they exceeded all expectations. Tender chunks of savory duck with crispy skin nestled amidst fluffy vermicelli noodles, fresh lettuce, cucumber, and asparagus, all wrapped in pliable rice paper. The presentation and taste were outstanding. Two rolls, sliced in half, were simply not enough to satisfy my craving for more.

While Bamboo Bistro offers a variety of spring rolls, including the renowned Ahi Spring Roll ($9), and other delightful options like Roasted Pork Spring Rolls and Grilled Shrimp Spring Rolls, I found the Vegetarian Spring Rolls ($5) to be less exciting in comparison. They contained tofu, noodles, lettuce, and carrots, but they lacked the bold flavors of the other offerings.

It's clear that Bamboo Bistro caters to a broader audience, with a menu that draws inspiration from mainstream Asian dishes. While there are nods to Vietnamese cuisine with items like pho and banh xeo, the overall menu reflects a fusion of flavors that appeals to a diverse clientele. Despite this departure from traditional Vietnamese offerings, the quality and creativity of Bamboo Bistro's dishes make it a must-visit restaurant in Newport Beach. Chau Dang Haller's culinary heritage shines through in every bite, making this restaurant a delightful culinary destination for both locals and visitors.

The restaurant is easily get to which is located right on PCH next to Fashion Island Shopping mall. There are plenty of parkings on the street and underground garage.

First time here and we really liked it. The decor inside is very traditional and ads to the experience of eating vietnamese food. I got the "Shaken beef" plate and it was amazingly tender. the only issue I had was with their Iced tea. it was Jasmin tea which is super dry and very flowery tasting. Everything else was great and we will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend you go outside your traditional eateries and give this place a try.

A very popular Thai fare restaurant. Good variety and multiple options from soups, starters to main dishes. Quality and quantity is good too. Their soup, spicy noodles and green curry were really very tasty.

Amazing. I enjoy the shrimp coconut rolls, the pork rolls (don't know the actual name), and my go to is the red curry with chicken and extra veggies. My kids enjoy the fried rice and the prawn noodles. Don't forget to order dessert because it's soooo good! The coconut jelly dessert (don't know the actual name) was great! Pricing is reasonable for a family and the quality of food is great!!

Cute spot that has very fast service and an extensive menu. The food is good and the portions are larger. I really enjoyed the dishes here. It’s a bit of fusion between cuisines as well as traditional and Americanized dishes. Really it’s a good way to satisfy a number of people. I would recommend. There is a lot of curbside parking around the area.

Absolutely the best Vietnamese food we have had! We had ordered the chicken coconut soup with vermicelli, Chicken and bamboo shoot noodle soup, and sizzling fish dish along with the Thai tea. This is the first time I had a straw made out of bamboo which is much better than the paper straws. The food was delicious and tasty. Great service. Parking is on the street. Great variety in menu.

Really happy to have found this place while poking along up the coast. Excellent food, perfectly spiced, perfectly cooked. Will definitely be stopping here more often!!

There is outdoor seating for the nice OC weather. I enjoyed the food, the service is fantastic, if I am close by, I will be returning here

Stopped by on my daughter recommendation. Ordered for two soups and eqq rolls. I was told to wait but the manager offered me jasmine tea. Friendly staff and kitchen smell very good. I saw the dishes and I want to stay but I had to take the food home. Be back. Exceptional experience.

This is hands-down, one of my favorite restaurants in the world from the food to the service. I couldn’t think of any other place I’d want to eat if I had to choose one restaurant for the rest of my life. The owner is the sweetest person and care so much about her food that she creates with so much love everything on the menu is delicious but I recommendation for the crêpes and definitely duck spring rolls. Any of the spring rolls are delicious but if you like duck spring rolls with the orange sauces so good For dessert the putting pastry is divine. if you don’t want the crêpe, go ahead and try the Seabass you won’t be sorry. Easiest hands down 5star review. Spring rolls are the best I’ve ever had. I have eaten spring rolls all over. They’re so fresh. I can’t get enough of them.

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years.

Normally, chicken pho is a no-no for me but when I came here, it immediately became my favorite spot for chicken pho. It's the only place where I've been compelled to drink all of the broth when I was done.

They also have the signature Brodard's spring rolls here, which are the best spring rolls period.
