Bamboo House of Noodle Soups

Phở is awesome! More people should come here! Awesome service and the food is always wonderful.

I like phở. This is good phở in West Chester.

We go here almost every week and always get the phở. As another reviewer mentioned, they have been out of the beef broth for phở before, but luckily we were calling for take-​out. Other than that one time, we haven’t had a bad experience here. You can’t be in a rush or have a specific time frame here because it is a bit slow sometimes depending on how many people are seated.

This is my 2^nd visit to this restaurant. First time was average, would give it 3.5÷5 stars because food was decent but service was awful.
After this 2^nd visit I will NEVER come back. Place was half empty and took 10 minutes til we were Seated (no one came to greet us). Then took another 15 minutes til a waiter took our order and they said they were OUT OF PHO! How do you run out of phở by 730 on a Friday night? That’s like an Italian restaurant running out of noodles.
Between the poor service and average food look elsewhere. Best to drive to the city or go a few extra miles elsewhere for a better experience.

We come here all the time for the clay pot. Always the best. Good service & the owner is so friendly.

Okay. if you are looking for noodle soups, THIS is where you should go :)
Following dissappointments in my search to quench my noodle fever, I stumbled into Bamboo with a friend, hoping for the best. It probably also helped that it’s BYOB, so I already was fully loaded with a bottle of wine in hand when I walked in the door. (P.S. dont be scared that from the outside it looks more like a cig outlet than a restaurant.)
Both my friend and I ordered the crab vermicelli with the spicy chicken broth and shared a side of summer rolls. That, with the white wine and fabulous girl talk, was the perfect combo. The spicy broths have a zing, but wont leave you tasteless. Also, they bring out a quartet of sauces for you to sprinkle into your soup for flavor. I loved all sauces – they made everything so interesting. I will say that I stayed away from the spiciest of the four, but if you like the spice you’ll have to let me know if it was good.
To accompany your soup, they bring out a plate of greens, lime, and jalepenos, which I think is brilliant. The other places I’ve been just dumped them all into the soups, but since you can add them at your own pace here, the herbs and sprouts are never wilted :)
When we went it was pretty dead… More people should visit this place
A) because it’s worth it
B) so that when my friends and I tell salacious stories, they won’t echo into the cavernous void of an empty restaurant (sorry to our server! ;))
CONCLUSION:
sluuuuurrrrp! :D
Quality: Best so far in the West Chester area for noodle soups!
Price: A soup dinner plus a split order of summer rolls came to $ 15 per person. A little more than chipotle, but less than your standard eating out fare in WC.

We have been coming here since it opened. We usually have a large group and order an array of dishes. Everything has always come out freshly prepared and just to each individuals liking. The salted fried and clay pots are our favorites. More people should visit this restaurant, I promise, you will not be disappointed.

This place is profoundly mediocre, profoundly. If you prefer bland Americanized pan-​Asian food you will not be disappointed, everyone else will be. Second worst bowl of Phở I have ever had, small and skimpy lacking of any flavor depth and complexity (overly salty and not clear broth)… And the waiter tried to pass off Sambal Oelek as chili oil.

I love this place. I always get the summer rolls and clay pot dinner. So good. I got the shrimp clay pot with veggies and rice.

The prices are a bit on the high side for a Vietnamese restaurant, but the quality is also high.
I tried the Cambodian Noodle Soup called «Nam Vang» and it was amazing. I chose the rice noodle as my server recommended, and it is a chicken bone based soup with shrimp, fish cake, pork, etc.
The soup was excellent and I loved all the ingredients in the soup. It was worth $ 10 + tax & tip.

My favorite phở place thank god I don’t have to drive to the city anymore! Everyone is so nice especially the owner! I think the phở is a little overpriced and there’s not enough meat in the phở but other than that it’s good. It’s usually dead when I come in, I think they should advertise better or something because the food so awesome.

Had the clay pot today and the food was delicious with a lot of heat. I’m glad our waiter asked more than once how spicy I wanted my dish. It came out exactly as I prefer, with kick but not so hatefullly hot it can’t be enjoyed.
My cousin had pork wonton soup and he said it was great. He burned through his spring rolls pretty quickly so I’m going to assume they were good too.
Will definitely come back. Wasn’t busy at noon when we arrived but I think more people should come. The food is great and I’m happy that I don’t need to drive into Philly you get good Thai food.

Yummy! I had the fried wontons which were the best I’ve ever had. I had a green papaya salad and my husband had the clay pot with pork — he ordered a 3 on a heat scale of 1 to 4. The waiter warned him — next time he’ll try a 2. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The host and servers were really nice and it wasn’t too crowded. We love that it’s BYO and we’re coming back soon.

Finally! A great Vietnamese place with great Phở thats not a far drive! This place is 4 minutes from my house and I’m very thankful for that because its very delicious and very quick. The place is a must of you are in the area and do not feel like driving all the way to upper darby or philly. Enjoy!

You would never guess that this gem is hiding in the shopping center, but they make superb authentic Vietnamese food. I take homesick Vietnamese students from the nearby boarding school out to dinner here from time to time and the response is always the same – it doesn’t get any better. Delicious food, a wide array of options, and ample parking. If you don’t mind the stip mall ambiance on arival, you can quickly disappear into the good flavors.

It was pretty slow here when we stopped in since it was the day after Thanksgiving. It’s tucked into a strip mall and the interior has a modern IKEA-​esque feel (I recognize those wall lamps).
I had the phở, which was a good portion of noodles and beef. The broth, while not amazing, was decent and not too salty. I did not get a chance to try the fried rice or the eggplant which others ordered, but they seemed happy with their choices.
Please note that the map pin on Unilocal is incorrect and the restaurant is in a strip mall off the 3.

I have a meeting in WC and searched this phở by Unilocal,.Totally disappointed I live in center city and so many phở are better than this one! I ordered a bamboo phở which cost me 10 bucks and only 3 slice of beef and small bowl of noodle. I have been to more than 10 different phở resturants and this with the highest price lowest quality. I went there noon time 1200 and I am the only customer… I dont know why the other people gave they 4 – 5 stars but I am really not recommed

Can’t get enough of the vegetable summer rolls! Tried the wonton and roasted pork noodle soup for the first time this visit and will definitely order again. This place is fast becoming a new favorite.

We ordered :
Thai tea — ok
Spring Roll — delicious
Vietnam Coffee — not bad
Bamboo Phở — ok
We waited almost 50 mins for our meals
Maybe only one chef in

Went here for my 9^th anniversary with my honey.
The Bamboo Sampler for 2 was amazing and very neat, a little of steak and pork with veggies and fresh rice wraps to make yourself, also came with shrimp spring rolls and homemade sauce. The waiter gave us a tutorial on using the wraps.
We had iced coffee and ice tea both are creamy and Sweet so good!
My hubby had bamboo phở beef and I a spicy version both were delightful! We left so full!!!
