Today I’m sick and I decided not to cook dinner and ordered at Le Bambou for my kids. I didn’t watch them eating and when I came to them in the middle of their dinner I saw just unacceptable quality of food. These are imperial rolls from order 813241939. I would like to get a refund.

The food here is excellent and the service is usually very good. They were very slow the last time we had takeout. Tonight, we decided to dine in and it was a much better overall experience.

Very very bland food. All 3 dishes! Tastes more like Chinese than Thai. We ordered spicy items and they weren’t spicy at all. They don’t bring enough rice or refill water either. Spent over $80 for Panda Express flavor. I do not recommend if you are looking for actual Thai.

This place is great and has done a great job serving my family for a long time. One of the best, long-standing establishments in Del Mar. They are a small shop, run by family. So don’t expect them to be fully automated and efficient like Panda Express. But it’s a really nice experience to be served by a family that works so hard and creates really great food.

We went for my friend’ birthday with a group of friends and had a really amazing meal there on a busy Saturday night. I had a taste of almost everything on the menu since we were sharing but the seafood dish ( I don’t remember the name) was absolutely amazing. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back for more.

A family run business that is a true gem in Del Mar. I wish we had been coming here when we moved to SD 20 years ago. The food is delicious (Shaking Beef, Curry Scallops, Eggplant, Pho and the list goes on) and service is very polite and prompt! Neal and his family are very welcoming and will give suggestions for the extensive menu and we have made this one of our go to restaurants.
