Me and the wife today went too bambuza for a little food and a drink we were originally at the OHSU hospital and I decided to look up a spot for some good food and maybe a few drinks and that’s surely what I found at bambuza very nice place to eat with group of people as well as just couples or solo they have a variety of different things from food to beverages 21+ drinks we ordered the chicken bowl your choice of rice or or noodles we went with the noodles overall very satisfied be sure to check them out if ever in the area it’s a short walk from the clinic.

It may have been the worst pho I’ve ever tasted. The broth was really really bad. If this was $5 instead of the $18 I paid, I would review it the same. :(Don’t get the pho.

Hot, delicious food, excellent service, nice atmosphere!

I went last Sunday to buy a couple of steamed rice orders in preparation for a surgery and the staff was so nice. My son went back today to do a take out. We got the Soba noodles and the Wonton Soup with Thai tea and Iced coffee and it was delicious. Not sure why some of the reviews are so harsh, the place is pleasant the food is great. The price is right.

Our group of 3 was quite pleased with our meal!I had the chicken banh mi. Delicious! So flavorful! Generous with the chicken.One had the wanton dumpling soup. She's from Vietnam and said it was exceptionally authentic. She felt warm and happy afterwards.The vegetarian pho was good, but not our favorite place for soup in PDX (Mekha). Good enough to keep the five stars.And several others critique the service. The staff was excellent to us!

Potstickers were not bad. We ordered the yellow curry, chicken and noodles, and sobo with chicken. All three of the chickens were way over cooked. The sobo noodles were ok. The chicken curry was lacking flavor.And we were surprised that the chicken and noodles with salad and no sauce dressing anything to put on it. Don’t think we’ll try this again.

Extremely mediocre pho. Have lived and worked in the area for 8 year and have been here many times due to the convenience only. Solid 2 stars since it is food, close if in a hurry, and has never given me food poisoning. After a over a year of going further out of my way for better pho, I mistakenly tried it again in a pinch and received the same flavorless anf disapointing pho as usual. Luckily they actually gave me basil this time, except it was black and mushy... Rarely leave reviews but am hopeful their quality will improve so i might return or they will leave so the spot opens up for a better restaurant in the SW waterfront.

For the prices, quality and quantity are not good. I ordered noodles with mixture of BBQs and an egg roll; All the meats were over cooked like wood chips and impossible to chew like. Noodles were also overcooked.Unless you’re extremely hungry, I don’t recommend this dining

The Cognac Beef was amazing. The service was great and my friend and I had a lively lunch.

Food quality and taste are very good. They have big tables for groups, outdoor sitting and spaced out indoor tables.
