  • There are not too many Vietnamese restaurants in Chester county, so I was excited to learn that Bamboo opened up a location in the Westtown. They took over the old Shanghai Delight space and completely remodeled the interior to give it a nice modern look and feel. It's definitely not the kind of place you would expect to see in a strip mall, so I was pleasantly surprised. Bamboo's menu on paper is a watered-down version compared to the Vietnamese restaurants in Philadelphia, which makes sense considering the local clientele. I have been there twice so far and have only eaten the pho, fried sticky rice, and the Bamboo grill appetizer. The sticky rice and Bamboo grill (rice paper, cellophane noodles, and assorted meats/vegetables) were both delicious, however the pho is just average compared to the ones you can get downtown. All of the basic elements are there, but the broth lacks the depth of flavor that you usually see in a good bowl of pho. The prices are reflective of the area, so plan on spending more than you typical Asian restaurant. Appetizers average around $6, entrees start at $8, and the drinks (soda, Thai iced tea, coconut juice, etc) are especially pricey at $2-$5. Service here is adequate, and the servers are especially keen on educating diners about Vietnamese cuisine. For me Bamboo's biggest appeal is it's location - only five minutes away from my house. The food and service are decent, and despite the relatively high prices I plan to eat here regularly and also try their takeout service. Granted, I will still venture all the way to Chinatown or South Philly for a really good bowl of pho, but for those instances where I need a quick fix Bamboo is right there!
