| - I've been getting my Bambu fix from Rowland Heights in California. When I saw Bambu had opened up in Vegas, I welcomed it with open arms. I usually get the dessert drinks here. It's in the same plaza as Hot and Juicy so you can walk next door after a meal. I have tried #1, #2, and #6 in Rowland Heights and #2 and #6 here in the Vegas location.
#1 Bambu Special includes coconut, pandan jelly, logan, and basil seed. With coconut meat and coconut water. I think the drink can best be described as refreshing and more on the lighter side. Includes a long strip of coconut meat which is just awesome for a coconut fan like me. Some may find this a bit bland if you need a sugar fix but I like the flavor when I'm not craving something intense or sweet.
#2 Combination includes red bean, white beans, mung beans, taro, pandan jelly, pearl, jelly, with coconut milk. Holy moly! This is a lot going on in a cup. This one is my favorite so far but it is a bit intense and on the heavy side with all the beans and taro. And while drinking this thing, you don't know if you should use the spoon or the straw and you end up looking like a drunk confused dork. Oh well, it's still so good. It is quite filling so it might as well be a meal replacement.
#6 Che trai cay includes lychee, longan, red tapioca, jackfruit, palm seed, pandan jelly, jello, and coconut. This one can get very chewy with all the fruit and jelly. It's not as filling as #2 combination but is not as light as #1 Bambu special. I enjoy the fruit in this dessert drink and picking out the red tapioca and pandan jelly to chew on.
Service here is a hit or miss. I see different girls at the cashier counter every time I visit. Some are super nice and some are impatient and borderline annoying. One even got my orders wrong and didn't apologize or correct it. My recent visits have been pleasant and the super nice girls are there more often in my recent visits.
