Classic Thai cuisine. Nothing unexpected. A little pricey for what it is, but love the server. Curries are on the sweet side. The northern style noodles are tasty. Otherwise very standard.

Bright and clean interior. Generous and diverse lunch offerings even on the weekend. The pad thai is not made with tamarind, so it is not brown and lacks a certain tang… some people prefer the«pale» type though. Pineapple fried rice is very flavorful, made with curry powder… one of the best versions we’ve had.

Worse Thai food experience ever for me. It took an hour to get the food. After that long wait the food was totally bland. I ordered garlic chicken and there was not a hint of garlic. The host/waitress tried but could not handle the customers that were there.

Food looked good but after 20 minutes with no visit from the waitstaff we just had to leave…

Decent but not inspired Thai. Tom yum soup could have used a bit more heat and had a sweet finish that wasn’t bad, just unexpected. Gai gra pow was supposed to be crispy but was not. Flavor was good but again needed more heat. Two noodle dishes, pad see ew and pad Thai could also have used more seasoning generally. I expect Thai to have vibrant flavors and, for the right dishes, fiery hot. Service was good. If you have not had Thai elsewhere, you would probably like Thai Bamboo better.

Great food! Arrived with a large group of 10 – 12 around 9:00 pm. Once we ordered. The food came out fast, fresh and hot. Great service for almost closing time.

It’s a bit hard to judge a restaurant on one plate and one visit but my experience here was very positive. I was reading other reviews and it seems to run a large gamut, from awesome to really bad… not sure if it is a question of expectations or if it is really inconsistent. I came here mid-afternoon, a little after 3 pm and was handed the«dinner» menu, which probably explain in part the prices higher than I was expecting. Dinner portions are generous and are clearly aimed to be shared, as it is typically the case for asian cuisine. Being alone, I settled for a single plate of «Basil and chili duck», priced around $ 14. It was awesome! Very tasty and«hot» enough for my taste(I like it very spicy) which was much better than I was expecting based on previous experiences in Brattleboro. The plate was very generous and there was plenty of big pieces of duck so it turns out to be an excellent value. Two persons here could easily share this place with an appetizer like a soup and this would become a great dinner! The setting is very nice with large windows on Brattleboro pretty little downtown. Service was attentive and professional. I added steamed rice and hot«house tea»(free refills and good) and my total bill was under $ 20. I definitively want to come back here and try the lunch menu. And for the record, I went to Thailand and though that the food here was pretty authentic(at least the plate I had).

Not as good as when it was Thai garden. But edible. Pls Thai was ok. Yellow curry(beef) wasn’t too great.

Dropped into Thai Bamboo to pick up dinner on the go. I have to say that every time I come in here I thoroughly enjoy the food and the experience. When I entered the store the employee was extremely polite and struck up a lovely conversation while I waited. When I got the food I remembered why I love this place so much. The Pad Thai was great, the dumplings were incredible, and my partner loved the pineapple fried rice. The only critique is that the prices are a little high in comparison to some of the other Thai food you can get in the area, but then again they hand you intense portions!

I got the drunken noodles with shrimp and chicken with a hot and sour soup to start. Everything tasted great but our waitress seemed distracted while taking our order. She was very attentive throughout our meal though. The menu is expansive and many of the offerings seemed a bit expensive when taking into account where this restaurant is and what the average customer is likely expecting to spend(jasmine rice didn’t come with any of the entrees, it was an additional charge). However, like I said, our waitress was attentive(despite being a bit distracted, and a bit hard to understand as much as I hate mentioning that) and also the restaurant was very clean and the seating was arranged neatly and optimally for traffic flow and guest comfort. The service was timely as well, good pacing between ordering, soup arrival, entrée arrival, check-in, and delivery of the bill.

Great stopping off point for lunch or evening food options during North & South I-91 route and the food is exceptionally authentic as it’s clear most staff and the kitchen aren’t using English as the primary language so that is a great start! The Thai iced tea was as good as I’d get in the NYC Metro, the mango chicken with basil had a nice bang to it but wasn’t so spicy it wasn’t palatable, and the chicken satay with peanut sauce was amazing as well — don’t get me wrong, I was hungry when I stopped in and am aware that is influencing my overly dramatic verb usage!

Lunch of Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp was very good and at a decent price(under 10.00). The sole server(on Black Friday, no less) kept her composure and was gracious throughout service.

I stopped in for a quick lunch and was pleased they had so many vegetarian/vegan options. Vegetarians beware that the veggie hot and sour soup is made with fish stock but there is a vegetable soup and a coconut soup that are both totally vegan. I went with the pad thai(no egg or fish sauce), and it was tasty, but a little on the sweet side. My friend went with the spicy tofu with basil, which was excellent. Service was friendly and I would definitely go back.

Amazingly delicious graprow chicken(regular minced, not crispy). The portion was HUGE. The beef satay was awesome too. Its tender and the marinade is flavorful. I’ve eaten a lot of thai food and Thai Bamboo is a standout! The waitstaff were attentive and always there to fill a water glass. Great!

Out & about in Brattleboro with my son & his friends looking for a nice place to grab a bite to eat. We passed over a few spots till we stumbled across Thai Bamboo. Luckly, they weren’t too full and able to accommodate our party of four(on a Friday night, no less). Our waitress was prompt, efficient and very friendly, took our food orders and brought our appetizers to the table promptly. Spring rolls were fresh & tasty, and my son & his friends enjoyed their dishes… I wish I could remember all of the different foods we ordered, but the only name I can summon up is the drunken squid, which they all sampled and raved about. I ordered a chicken dish that was well marinated & flavorful. As I settled the check, one of my son’s friends ordered sticky rice to go. I’m sure he enjoyed that as well!

I’ve had two less than I wanna pay for experiences here. The first, I brought a friend from out of town here for dinner. Although it was still open for 25 more minutes according to their hours posted(which is rare in Brattleboro, and this is why) when we opened the door and walked in, they said they were closed, like nearly everything else in town. My friend was really disappointed and appalled at such practice. A couple months later I returned craving Thai chicken wings(you know, the kind every Thai restaurant on planet earth has). I ordered their lovely Thai tea. When the guy came to get my food order, I said I would start with the chicken wings. He said, «Oh, we don’t have any of those.» I assumed it was because of the global chicken wing shortage? Although not as serious as global warming or the crashing global economy, these things customers remember when they ponder the limited time human life has on earth and have to decide how they want to spend it and where, and when they have to part with valuable resources, like cash.

Was starving and looking for a good meal that wasn’t bar food. came across Thai Bamboo on our stroll. You can’t really screw up thai food. Service was very slow and there were only about 3 tables occupied. I ordered the basil and chili with tofu and hubby got the drunken noodles. The food took a while to come out. Shouldn’t 5 minutes be enough time to prep all this together? My food came out luke warm and it was bland. My rice was not even warm. The tofu was a bit overcooked. But I did not send it back because we were both starving and I needed food in me. I really could not drink anymore water to hold my hunger pangs. Husband meal however was hot and had a very good flavor to it. I wish I had ordered noodles. For $ 1.25 you get a very small cup of tea and they did not even bother to refill it for me but your water was refilled every time you took sip. Luckily, I won’t be visiting Brattleboro anytime soon. And I would not eat here again.

So, the food’s still good, but I’d regret it if I didn’t note a shitty experience here. Ordered some food for pickup. In the past, I have had great service from this place. The food is promptly ready, the staff there are courteous, and everything’s fresh and tasty. Tonight, I arrived and there were about five people whose orders had all been screwed up, either forgotten or flat out wrong. The staff working at the register and those coming in and out of the kitchen scrambled to figure out who got what, when, with little regard for the customers waiting an additional half hour for their orders. Someone took my money and apathetically handed me my order, which was wrong. I asked for my money back. It took about ten more minutes for that to happen. I needed to leave since I’d already waited too long and had somewhere to be. As I pocketed my money, one of the staff members behind the counter said, «Come back sometime and tell us your name, and we’ll help you out.» Sure. I completely trust that if I returned, I’d just tell them my name and get«helped out.» Inexcusably bad service for me and everyone else who was there tonight. Will be a while before I go back.

My fiancé and I love this place. The food is very high quality and the menu has a lot to offer! If you are vegan, be sure to order your food without fish sauce. Most thai food has fish sauce in it, and I definitely could taste it in their«vegetable» soup. Each time we go we get a hot soup, panang tofu curry and the melon curry which is made with pumpkin and is very delicious. Our friends and family members have tried other entrees and appetizers and have loved everything. The rice costs you extra here. It’s not a big deal, but something to think about.

Thai food for people who’ve never had Thai food. The locals seem to like it but I found it lacking. Pad Thai is a common dish that I’ve had a gazillion times at several Thai restaurants in different states/provinces/countries. Somehow, Thai Bamboo has made it nearly unrecognizable … it’s pure white and bland bland bland. See the photo I uploaded … it was disgusting. I had to mix curry into it in order to get it down. The curry was also weak. It tasted like someone opened a can of coconut milk and added a hint of curry paste. No spice whatsoever. Service was ok – a little lacking throughout and then abruptly taking away the food that we were still contemplating finishing.
