The red bean combo chè was absolutely delicious. I would 10/10 come back. The taro was the perfect level of sweetness and they did not skimp any ingredients. The combination was amazing. Would recommend!

It was my first time there, and I fell in love with it! Loved the beautiful decor and the environment was nice and clean. So many different dessert drinks to choose from it. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Assisted us right away and processed our orders accordingly. Very happy with the combo deal and the 2 for 5 bucks waffles ! Food tasted good and drinks were def satisfying ... Everything was great, I love this place!

I love that this dessert spot is so different compared to the average boba house. They have refreshing drinks that range from tea to smoothies to Vietnamese ice coffee in addition to their Bambu coconut milk/juice specialities. I really love the coconut juice which offers a lighter and less sweeter option compared to the rich and sweet coconut milk. They give ample amounts of choices such as (pandan jelly, tapioca, basil seeds, agar agar, and many other options) which are generously added into the drink. Its a bit on the higher side in terms of price but the quality is pretty good.

I miss the pre-pandemic days, when they had a large squeeze bottle of sweetened condensed milk on the counter, to give your drink/treat a little boost of flavor...They have great service, a friendly atmosphere, and their treats are second-to-none...we (my wife, daughter, and myself) highly recommend Bambu...! 🤔😉👍👌

Lots of different combinations and dietary options that taste great and hit the spot. The snow ice is sometimes a bit more like ice cream than snow, but the drinks are really what you should go for. Plenty of toppings and suggestions to pick from!!

Smashed Avocado is the bomb. The avocado is so thick and creamy. We also ordered 3 number 1 and they were so refreshing after a hike. Strongly recommended.

I ordered the Thai Milk Tea with Boba. It was good, except that it took a while and the boba were the small.bobas. Ding Tea is right there and they had a line out the door the same exact time I was there. Clearly, Bambu has an issue with customer service. The Bambu in the Bay Area is very busy because they are extremely good. I will come back to see this location but only if Ding Tea is not delivering good customer service

Its really unsafe to go there during covid-19. the drinks have lids with a big hole. and they put disposable spoons exposed to the air. COVID-19 IS AN AIRBORNE DISEASE. what about the droplet? they pass some drinks without a cover (like a plastic bag). the person who came to help with order even didnt wear a mask. they should be more precautious.

Probably the best affordable, fresh and homemade Vietnamese dessert (Chè) you can find in Gardena. Delicious and worth to give it a try if youre in this area! I gave them 5 stars for their chè

There are a lot of variations to drink and eat, too! They have thai iced-tea, they have grass jelly toppings, and also mixed fruits in ice-smoothies. You can never go wrong in going here. Enjoy!!

Review №27

The workers are very unprofessional. Their attentiveness is not there because they were too busy having girl talk in the back. I placed an order for a waffle and once it was ready, it was sitting in the cooker for a good 6 mins. So what happens? Burnt! I had them cook it again. HORRIBLE...

I had the pleasure of being helped by Tina, who was very friendly and approachable. She was more than happy to let me pick her brain about a few of the offerings and give her breakdowns and preferences. Ordered the #2&3...next time might be that smashed avocado one that looked interesting. Definitely be hitting them up on a regular!!

Review №32

Perfect dessert for the summer!!! So glad we have this convenient local location. If youre overwhelmed by the options, just ask for a recommendation, depending on whether you want something more fruity vs beany, chewy vs crunchy vs slurpy vs sippable, refreshing or rich...I just found out that you can request less ice or less sugar! Something for everyone!

Went to Bambu on July 24 with my cousins. Nothing special or remarkable in my mind. It was fairly full for a Wednesday night. We order 2 Bambu Specials (fresh coconut, pandan jelly, longans, basil seeds, and coconut water, and one pandan waffle. I think it was roughly $15.My cousins really liked the pandan waffle. I didn’t have any of the waffle. The Bambu Special drink was ok and not worth the price. I like getting chè and boba tea, but this place I will pass. I rather go to mom and pop shop or a chain that isn’t overpriced.

The place is kinda small, it looks like an area that most people would pass...Some of the food items are questionable; but lets not get judgemental. We had tried this avacado shake and it was surprisingly good.Try it for yourself... You might just make this place another hotspot for you and your peers.

GET THE PANDAM WAFFLE. JUST DO IT. STOP READING AND GO.My gaze wandered as I ordered my beverage, stopping behind the counter at a waffle iron and a bucket of green slime. Whats that? I inquire, because were 5 months away from any green related holiday and it smells delicious. Uhh, the pandam waffle? an impressively short Asian barista shyly replies. I ask what they taste like, because Im a major foodie and I want to know what I might be getting into.Its uhhh.... chewy?Chewy?! Thats not a flavor! I ignore it and just get tea. Big mistake.A piping hot waffle is delivered to the family of three sitting next to me. Its brown and green, somewhat unappetizing. But it smells great. They seem to really enjoy it. I sip my oolong boba. They leave.Two college kids with laptops take the familys place. They too are delivered piping hot waffles, which they proceed to cover with some kind of icing. Its condensed milk they say as they catch me staring, possibly drooling too.I cant take it anymore. I order one. My second mistake.It arrives. I tear it in quarters to share with my companions. Its delightfully crispy, but the inside stretches like a gooey mochi. Its bright green inside. My tongue quivers in anticipation. Crispy-chewy is my absolute favorite texture combination.I bite. Im loving it. The barista was right, it DOES taste chewy! The milky sweet from the topping heightens the transcendental marriage of crispy and chewy. Mouthfeel, ALL the mouthfeel!Then, its gone. What? I only just took a bite! Nope, I inhaled the damn thing like a friggen Hoover. Im suddenly feeling a hole in my heart. A pandam waffle shaped hole. I MUST HAVE ANOTHER!I sheepishly return to the counter, and ask if I can get the second one as part of the 2 for $5 deal, since I already got one and I just didnt know. Nope. I pay full price for my second one. You sure you dont want two? I say no, but my soul cries.Oolong tea with boba was just ok. Boba was tough and far too chewy. You get two add-ins free which is nice. Get the waffles.
