I've ordered from here a few times now through DoorDash, and each time is even better. I really like their crab Rangoons and the pork egg rolls. Other dishes I have ordered are the fried rice, which is good, the house chow mein noodles--I love that one--and the pad Thai. I also tried their potstickers, and those were good, too.

My favorite place to get takeout pho. I actually have dreams about it, it's so good. It's super simple but the ingredients are always fresh and the broth is steaming hot. We love their shrimp fried rice too. Can't go ring with this one! I would definitely recommend getting something with bamboo shoots in it too!

I knew my night would be crazy, so I placed a to go order to make sure I got in dinner early. My order consisted of beef pad see ew and pork egg rolls. The pork egg rolls were fantastic. Really good size, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor. I would order these again in a heartbeat. The pad see ew is ok. I didn't think there was enough egg in it, I wasn't overly fond of the white onion, and both the broccoli and carrot seemed like they were added afterwards and not cooked in the sauce with the noodles and beef because they were harder than expected and didn't absorb any of the flavor of the sauce. Certainly not my favorite pad see ew in the area, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting it again.

Good Lao food, reminds me of home. Service is good for 1 person and always friendly. The vibe there just reminds me of a Lao market (the smell, energy and the cooking u can hear)

The food was fire and truly authentic. The Lao papaya salad was authentic to the T: it had padek which is fermented fish. The beef pho was amazing and was such a comfort to enjoy. This will be my go to place for authentic Lao food.

Came here for dinner to eat some of this amazing pho I've heard so much about. Upon entering it's your standard Vietnamese restaurant - small and quaint; you feel super at home. Upon seating, my friends and I waited a bit to be acknowledged and served. Apparently it was a busy period with online orders. Once served, we were given menus and waters and the waitress was super sweet and fun. We instantly put in our order and it was another 15 minutes before receiving our dishes. The broth of the pho was quite amazing for it to be vegetable base. They have the additional add-ons on the table so you don't have to ask for a single thing. The beef larb was quite tasty as well. Favorable juicy and tender along with the sticky rice was a great pair. The egg rolls were tasty and nice in size. Reminded me of a fried spring roll to be honest. Nothing special or too different than a spring roll but they're super cheap and you get three per serving. I'd be super inclined to return to this establishment and recommend it to others!

I wanted cheap and fast! When I get cheap food i expect okay and bland, greasy and sometimes gross; yet edible. Walking in to pick up my food; it seemed small and to be honest I expected it to be a bad choice. I was sadly mistaken, the food was amazing; for the pricing I don't think nothing can beat it. I will be there again sooner than later; the pho...Oh mY PHOking GaWd!!!! On point. The pad ped with seafood made me Moan just a bit; I sounded like the kid with the macaroni with the chicken strips ( you seen the meme you know what I mean) spring rolls were so tasty I'm calling them Thai burritos. Go try the food I promise you will love it oh and don't forget the chicken fried rice and sticky icky rice PHOnomenal!....

I was wanting some Pho and my go to place is closed until next month at least so I thought I would hit up a long time bookmark, yes they were open. It's take out only and it looked like they had some orders lined up at lunch time. I called in a Sm beef Pho and an order of spring/fresh roll which was ready in 15 minutes. The spring/fresh rolls were pretty good with fresh/crisp veggies and a great appetizer for sure to get. It has bbq pork, shrimp, cucumber, lettuce, cilantro and bean sprouts with a hoisin plum sauce with crushed nuts. The Sm beef Pho has meatballs and thin sliced cooked beef along with all the standard Pho fixings. The Pho broth was in between average to good I thought because it lacked a depth of rich flavor compared to other Pho broths that I have had in the past. That being said with paste and hot oil added and completely assembled it was good but the two jalapeño slices were not enough for a person who likes spicy food. Overall I would definitely go back and try some more of the menu after looking over the yelp photos.

Bamboo, located off of 35th and National is a tiny little restaurant. They have 6 tables of 4, so i wouldn't recommend it for big groups. The menu is smaller than most Thai places, which is totally manageable for their size. The husband and I for their Chicken Pad Thai, Raw beef laab and potstickers. The padthai was sweeter than most we've had before but it was still pretty good. The raw beef laab was amazing. The season was on point and laab can be quite hard to perfect. We had a level one spice and it was quite spicy so if you're not a pepper eater, i recommend zero pepper. (You can order cooked as well) However, the potstickers were not homemade which was a bit disappointing, but still good. Only downfall is the location. It's all street parking and with the neighborhood, street parking can be extremely limited. If you're looking for raw laab which is hard to find around the Milwaukee area, i would recommend Bamboo. We are looking forward to our next visit to try other dishes.
