The Food is great!! The issue is the service. We were there on New Years Eve. Seemed to be just the owners working with their young child who looked to be around 8yrs old waiting tables.

They also have a Robot Waiter that brings the food out. It brought our food to the wrong table and I watched it do the same to 2 other tables. You're supposed to press a button on the robot after you've taken your plates...but due to how dirty it was we really didn't want to touch it.

But like I said the food is great! Get rid of the robot and hire a real waitress or 2. Until then we'll only take To Go from now on.

This is such a fun and delicious place to visit right off of 694 in Oakdale, MN. I have had many different offerings here and I have not been disappointed. My son generally gets the Pork or Chicken Lo Mein when we do our take-outs on Friday nights. He likes to go in though because they always use the robot to bring our food (see picture). The servers and cooks are so helpful, nice, and personable! I have tried and enjoyed the Sesame Chicken, the Vietnamese Noodle Salad, the Chicken Fried Rice, and many different sushi options. We had the lucky privilege to have some toro sushi and it was melt in your mouth good! The sushi spread we ordered tasted as good as it looked (see pictures). We will definite visit again!

We ordered $65 worth of food and none was very flavorful. Massaman very bland and couldn't taste it hardly or coconut flavor. Mongolian beef had literally only a couple onions and no sauce. Sticky rice was gummy and Chicken wings bland and sauce had little flavor to add on it. Very disappointed. I won't be returning. Sad

We had a great experience here! We ordered the drunken mussels cream cheese wontons szhecuan chicken sweet and sour chicken egg rolls and hot and sour soup. All of which were fantastic! One of the servers came by all of the tables with a big piece of sugar cane and asked us if we would like to try their sugar cane drink. It was phenomenal and our son just thought it was the coolest thing ever! He also thought the robot that brought our food out was really cool too!

LEMME START WITH HOW KIND AND THOUGHTFUL SERVICE WAS! They saw me coming in with my crutches. Placed us next to the beautiful water statue. And I loved how they brought a water dip bowl with limes to allow us to quickly clean our hands just so I didn't have to crutch my way to and from the bathroom. First time doing that.

🟠Thai Tea was good. Sweet to my liking.
🥄Cream Cheese Puffs were creamy and perfectly crunchy.
🍣Bento Box with the miso soup was perfectly balanced with sweet, savory, and lots of yums.
🍤Salt and Pepper Shrimp was impressive.
🐚Baked Mussles were so good. I had to tell myself to share with Jet.
🥢Pho was delicous. I had two bites of Jets pho and he was extra happy about it.

Would go again! My favorite combo is sushi and pho in one meal. Such an odd combination of cravings and was satisfied 🤩.

Had an incredible Anniversary date night here. Service was kind and prompt. Food came out hot and quickly. I am Gluten Intolerant and have had no reaction(I am willing to pay extra for this). GF items clearly marked with surcharge obviously stated.

We had Pork Crispy Vietnamese Egg Rolls that were incredible!
Soft shell crab was good but not amazing.
Massaman Stir Fry Curry blew us away with Thai nostalgia.
Pad Thai could use a little more flavor.
Special Sushi rolls great as always we got Ultimate Dragon and Sexy Lady Roll.
The sticky mango rice was amazing and brought us nostalgia of the sweet treat.
Peach Blossom Sake Soda was delightful.

We love this place so much! We feel cared for when we come in the door. With the higher prices for good food that is gluten sensitive safe we don't come too often but it's always worth it!

Honestly, Bambu is just”OK”… or 3 stars. The food isn’t bad. Service is friendly, but a bit slow… and armor is pretty standard “80s Chinese restaurant “ vibe.

I am giving them 4 stars because they have a menu that clearly marks vegan options… and they have a HUGE selection! Portions are generous, too.

If you are craving vegan Thai, Chinese? Or Japanese food and do not experience be blown away with flavor, I would recommend.

Sushi Experience №38

Absolutely terrible food! We were here for a special celebration and you figure when your bill comes out to $300+ four adults and two elementary age kids would be full, NOPE! The portion size is a robbery for the price. The dishes are mostly cheap veggies (celery & bamboo). In fact all the dishes were given the illusion of a big serving with all the extra veggies that mixed in. The soft shell crab, walleye fillet, and seafood hotpot were the saddest looking dishes when paying a premium price. Flavors were worse than your high school culinary arts class. The ingredients were cheap quality. The raw oysters were fine, I did like the dressing on them. In conclusion, I won't come back even if my friends were going to treat me out here.

We stopped at Bambu for a bit of sushi while we waited for our turtle to get some love at the nearby Homey Gnome vet clinic.

The atmosphere is friendly and lively, the music loud and energetic. The server (owner?) was a friendly man, seating us quickly and drumming up conversation throughout the ordering process.

The food was pretty good, well-presented and high quality.

Oddly, we didn't get fortune cookies, though we saw that others did. Maybe because we didn't order a "real" dinner? There was a bit of a change in attitude when the guy realized we were only ordering sushi (though the order still came out to about $60).

The food was so gooooood! Specifically the sesame chicken combination platter. However, the egg roll could have more savory flavor though I liked the crunchiness. Additionally, I enjoyed the look of the sushi plate that was served to us. The service was great because of the employees and robot server. Overall, I liked that it was not too crowded in the restaurant and I would definitely go here again.

We didn't go here for sushi so I can't give a review on that, but I did go here for pho.

The pho was good with enough meat and rich broth.

It was interesting to see a variety of asian dishes on the menu from different countries. Usually when this happens, the food quality goes down. I know everyone's pho taste profile is different, but I did not mind the pho here.

The other interesting thing was that the flooring was carpet. We all know broth and carpet don't mix. We'll see how long the carpet stays :).

Overall, give this place a try!

Review from 10mos ago: The atmosphere and server were nice both times we went. The robot is an expensive novelty. Two rolls were good. The rest were OK. The CA rolls were $14/roll. They must use real crab...I hope at least for that price.

They DO provide GF options unavailable at other places like fried food etc. They do not crosscontaminate here.

The irritating and unethical feeling is the extensive fees added on. They added $23.59 gratuity onto the initial $98 bill (~23.59%+ gratuity). The service was NOT worth 20% even, maybe 15%. They added an additional charge NOT explained before using a CC from the table. They only spoke about the additional charge once I walked to the register and asked why my bill was $4 more since I okayed it at the table from first glance to returning the receipt to the table AFTER running the CC with no additional purchases. The response was pointing to a sign placed ONLY at the register of an additional there is a 2.75% added if paying by CC. Who pays for sushi with cash?! I understand cc charging passed to the customer at this time it was just one more thing.

We won't be returning because of the outlandish pricing. My husband said he wouldn't return after the first time. The first time/time before this the bill for our family of 4 was $265 total. We didn't remember seeing gratuity added so we probably tipped on top of that! They don't tell you it's included. We have NEVER paid that much for sushi for 4.

We went a second because friends of ours can only get some GF items there. They said some of the extra charges were new. Maybe it's due to the expensive robot and inflation etc.? It's okay food AND NOT worth the price.

BTW, this time I only got edamame and miso soup. My son got 2 CA rolls. My dtr got 2 fried spring rolls and a Rainbow roll. I ordered water and my kids ordered lemonade. $98 was surprising for that!

I'd recommend Sakana over this place. Their rolls are MUCH better and the check is less WITH 2 adult beverages AND you get to add gratuity which we pay 20% for good service anyway.

Today: I tried to edit something. Idk why. It shows as today's date yet the original review ws from 10mos ago. We still won't be back. There are many other less expensive and more tasty Asian restaurants to go to.

I’ve only been to Bambu 3 times now. They greeted me with warmth and a smile each time. The linen tables and atmosphere was so cool, I loved it. The electronic robots that roll out your food to your table was the coolest thing of all. My orders were always exactly what I asked for, even substitutions were correct and fast getting to your table. They bent the rules one time to please us. Very appreciated! The food has always been fresh, hot, crispy, and delicious…which is an understatement. The chicken was real chicken, breast meat which was tender and juicy, not rubbery like some buffets are. They even bring your sauce for Sweet and Sour chicken seperately rather than putting it on before it gets to you. This keeps the breading light and crispy rather than soaked and gummy. Very smart! I can go on, but all I can say is I will only go there for my Asian food from here on!! Thank you to all who work and cook at Bambi Oakdale!

I used to go to this restaurant about every other week because there are not that many options in this area that have vegan options. The waiter is oftentimes rude to us because he is overwhelmed. It's usually just him and a robot no matter how busy the restaurant gets. One time, he was especially rude to my husband and me and even tho we still gave him a 20% tip at the end, we decided that was the last time we would go there. He said he was stressed because another table was being indecisive, but it was a bad excuse to be so rude to us. I hope this restaurant would consider hiring more wait staff to help this man out so that he is not so overwhelmed. A robot can only assist so much. By cutting on costs, you're compromising on customer service. Also, please stop having the same instrumental song play on repeat so loud. It's very distracting.

I ordered takeout from this place - chili wings, chowmein, red curry and tiramisu. Everything was pathetic.

Wings were not wings - they were fried chicken, with so much oil in them. The oil also smelled weird. There was no Chilli in them. They were tasteless served with some sort of sweet honey. This is when I asked them to make it "hot" spice level..

Chowmein did not have any noodles!? It was stir fry veggies in some sort of water downed sauce.

I had asked for penang red curry extra hot. What I was given was veggies in a red colored tasteless sauce. It was missing salt as well. Most tasteless dish.

Lastly, the tiramisu was "Frozen". They did not even care to thaw it before serving!! It had ice crystals.

I have a gluten intolerance and can’t currently have dairy. Menu items were clearly labeled and the staff was knowledgeable. The owner herself was there and was very friendly and made sure gluten free items were handled properly. It’s hard to find gluten free Asian food. I tried the mango fresh spring roll with peanut sauce, a few different gf sushi rolls and had a basil grass fed beef Thai noodle dish. The food was amazing- It’s so nice to know there is a safe and delicious place to eat a huge variety of Asian cuisine. I often react to gluten in food when going out to eat- I felt great after eating there.

Needs to hire more staff or fix current staff. The waiter messed up on orders and charged us for his mistakes. Kept rushing customers to order and tried to trick them into ordering something expensive. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that he might have been overwhelmed since he appeared to be the only waiter, but he was impatient and impolite. The food was fine.

I feel like I got completely played by the staff, I only ordered one of everything and they bring out two orders of multiple things and over charged me! Never again thanks for the terrible service and being rushed to order. If you don’t want to stay open til 9pm close at 8!

The order for pick-up was correct, the food was decent but not phenomenal - we tried Thai and Chinese dishes, no Sushi. There were some off flavors in the pad thai (too much ginger) and massaman curry (not the right consistency/color/peanut flavor) but the general taos and sesame chickens were breaded lightly (corn starch instead of flour) and not soggy which the family liked.

They messed up my food twice. First it was hellish hot when I mentioned mild in all the items.couldn’t eat there being home and threw all the food next day. 2nd I’ve clearly mentioned vegetarian gluten-free fried rice, they gave beef fried rice regular. There was gluten related suffering at home after 2 bytes and later we realised it was beef which we don’t even think of eating. This is our last time with this restaurant. You’ve lost a loyal customer Bambu

We ordered online and got wrong food . It had beef and shrimp in the fried rice . My daughter is severely allergic to shrimp and we do not eat beef due to religious beliefs . The guy who answered the phone will not own up or offer to correct it . Very rude . I also ordered medium spice green curry and there is absolutely no flavor . It’s bland!!!! This is the last time I am eating at this place . They lost a good customer . Others please be aware of this cheap place . They will not work to make customer happy

It was nice but not very impressive. The server was great, but there was only one of him and a full restaurant, so it felt like he was rushing things (ordering and picking things up from the table). The spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls were absolutely beautiful, but not tasty at all.. They add veggies to them, which I don't see in other places, and that really changes the flavor.

I happened upon Bambu on a whim when a restaurant I wanted to dine at was closed. And I gotta say that there was a silver lining to that situation as I really enjoyed eating at Bambu. We arrived at opening time, was immediately able to grab a seat and our server was with us immediately. He was very pleasant and had no issues sharing the entire menu with us and giving us recommendations. We chose seaweed salad, Thai basil noodles with shrimp, Wonton Egg noodle soup, and rounding it off with mango sticky rice. Food was quick to arrive, brought to us by Rosie the robot. Usually I am skeptical of how great you can be with a big menu serving pan Asian cuisine but what we got was really good. The Thai basil noodles were soft, flavorful, and delicious as was the wonton egg noodle soup. Both dishes had plenty of veggies, shrimp, and wontons. Both dishes were about what you would expect in size. I was very impressed with the broth of my soup, better than the majority of places I've tried. The dessert was wonderful, with that gooey sugary sweetness, served and made warm with the condensed milk and topped off with sweet mango. Overall a really positive experience. Pricing was as you would expect, easily a 40-60 meal between two people. Would definitely be willing to return!

Maplewood location no longer exists. But I do love Bambu in general, love that the owner makes gluten free and preservative free cookies. I do like the atmosphere here, they have a fish tank and blue lighting around the bar. My hubby loved the beef and meatball pho, just as good as the other location used to be.
They have a robot that delivers food now.

Very cute little place with lots of dietary restricted options. Lots of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options.

They have a very cute robot rolling around, but the staff don't pay much attention to it, so it got stuck a few times because of someone's jacket hanging off the chair being too close to it's path. This caused it to stop in front of our table, playing loud music multiple times. It also just sits there after delivering the food. More time needs to be spent working out the kinks, but it's a fun assistant to the staff.

Food was pretty good and plentiful. I thought I was ordering much less than what showed up. Definitely had some good left overs for the next day. I'll definitely return!

I was blown away by the quality of food that came out of Bambu.
I definitely recommend the fusion dish "tuna tostada". The tostadas part is actually fried wonton. It is sublime.
Quality of all the fish was top-notch. The owner was actually the sushi chef for me that evening. I sat at the sushi bar. I pretty much had my own omakase. I'm not saying that everyone should expect the same. I just happened to show up at the right time.
I suggest if you are in the mood for very well thought out menu items, please visit Bambu.

I used to go to the Maplewood location all the time when they were still open. I noticed that the food was starting to lose its quality near the end. I had hoped the Oakdale location would be different, but it wasn't. The food has very little flavor, and is usually too oily to eat more than a few bites of. Most recently, I ordered the gluten free Chow Fun which is supposed to have a really good sauce on it, but what I got had very little flavor of any kind. Also, the pork in it tasted strange, and not like any sort of pork I had ever had. I'm really hoping other people have a better experience here!

We enjoy takeout from here a couple times a year. It can be hard to find this cuisine allergy-friendly and feel confident about it, which is why we keep coming back! Really great options for gluten-free and vegetarian/ vegan diets. We've enjoyed the sushi (my favorite), spring rolls, curry dishes, pad Thai, Mongolian beef, and of course the won tons. Haven't disliked anything yet!

I was very excited to see a Chinese Thai restaurant that offered gluten-free. I ordered the gluten free pineapple thai fried rice, and the gluten-free sesame chicken and the gluten-free Vietnamese roll.
After eating the food within 5 minutes, I started having a reaction to the gluten that was in my food. I did not receive a gluten-free order. I also could not eat the egg roll because it was so full of oil.
I called and spoke to the manager and he apologized and he also said that he would refund me. My account was charged $49 for food that made me ill and I had to discard the rest of the food. He did not refund my account!
I would not advise anyone who is gluten intolerant and has allergy reactions/ celiac disease to gluten to eat here.
Also on a side note, what they called Thai fried rice was actually the same fried rice that came with my sesame chicken but they added pineapples. I've had really good Thai fried rice and this was not a tie fried rice.
I'm extremely disappointed that the manager did not follow through on his word.

Food was delicious but had to wait 40min for a pick up order. Restaurant says they didn't get it but then did. The man making sushi was on his phone. Not very sanitary. Glad I didn't order it. Too bad I had to rate this low as the food is very good.

Overpriced and not good at all. should’ve just gone the extra mile to my favorite pho joint. I spent $60 not including tip and all my food fit in a small paper bag? Once I saw how small portions were I was annoyed, so not worth the price. Wouldn’t recommend. After reading other similar reviews, the owners don’t take time to try and resolve issues/complaints.
