I noticed this place for the first time on the way to dinner tonight and decided to give it a try. It's a tiny store with only 2 tables and 6 chairs. Take-out is recommended for sure.
The first thing I noticed was the price. Bamboo serves Banh Mi ranging from $2.25-3, and Thai/Viet dishes as cheap as $6. The tea prices were impressive as well.
The next thing that caught my eye was most impressive. While I'm not too picky about my bubble tea, there is one feature that always stands out to me - REAL FRUIT! Bamboo offers it for $5.25 in six flavours. I had the lychee.
The open kitchen layout allows you to see the server make your drink while you wait, always a plus. My drink was refreshingly different from other powder-based bubble teas. The lychee flavour was prominent.
Walking in with no expectations at all, I ended up finding what might be my new go-to cheap eats and bubble tea shop.
