Bamboo Leaf Thai Eatery

I don't often write reviews unless I'm absolutely compelled to, and after last night's dinner at Bamboo Leaf, eating my leftover Pad Thai at lunch today, I had to write one. Walking in we were warmly greeted by the host who offered to open our wine (BYOB place) to enjoy while we sat in the bustling waiting area for our table. We were told 30 minute wait, but waited about 20. We had Chicken Pad Thai, Pork Panang Curry, Vegetable Basil Fried Rice for dinner & Sticky Mango Rice for dessert. All I can say is that this was the best Thai food I have had in my entire life & I have eaten at a lot of places. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, allowing us to spend a considerable amount of time savoring the remarkably fresh and rich flavors of the food. Food, excellent- Vibe, casual & fun- Value, great still have leftovers- Will I be going back to Bamboo Leaf? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (I live 1 hour 20 minutes away) I am so glad I listened to my girlfriend who made this recommendation.

This was our first visit to Bamboo Leaf Thai in Bradley Beach, and it definitely won’t be the last! The food was full of flavor — we tried the Drunken Noodles and Red Curry, and both were absolutely delicious. You can really taste the freshness and authentic Thai spices in every bite. There was a wait listed at 30 minutes, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in just 10. It’s definitely worth staying close by and waiting your turn — the area is nice to walk around, and the restaurant is BYOB, which is a great bonus. Parking was easy — free street parking after 5 PM, just a block or two away with parallel spots. And after dinner, we took a relaxing stroll along the Bradley Beach boardwalk — a perfect end to the evening. Highly recommend this spot for flavorful Thai food in a laid-back beach town setting!

Best of the best, if you've never been here you're missing out. Street parking is plentiful, place is BYOB so stop by BBP for a 4 pack to have with your meal or there's a liquor store a block away. Place is small so prepare for a wait, the news is out already on how good this place is. Been coming here for a decade and always excited to see these guys going strong, pumping out quality cuisine with amazing flavor for reasonable prices. We started with the Papaya salad and Fried tofu, both of which were delicious. For mains we split drunken noodles and red curry. I've honestly been a curry guy every time I go here, but the drunken noodles knocked my socks off. Insanely flavorful with a slight char, it's everything you want in a dish. Overall 10/10 meal I've never been disappointed here and always leave happy. GO HERE

Let me start off by saying I am probably the most critical thai food eater there is. I have tried so many thai places in the united states, none of them live up to par to authentic thai food I have had. This was absolutely phenomenal, if you want straight up authentic thai food that isnt westernised this is it. Everything was so good, you can immediately tell with the curry that it is made authentically with so much love and time!! Thank you thank you!

We had an amazing dining experience at this wonderful Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic, bringing the rich flavors of Thailand right to the table. Every dish we had was full of vibrant spices and fresh ingredients, making it a memorable meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for quality, authentic Thai cuisine.

We went in 1/31 around 8. We had the curry dumplings, and shrimp rolls to start. The shrimp rolls were great, the curry dumplings were ok, I thought they’d be steamed not fried. I had a combination drunken noodles, and my sister had a combination pad Thai. The entrees were delicious. Probably one of the best drunken noodles I’ve ever had! We ordered it medium spicy thinking it would be enough but next time I’ll order spicy so it can really come through. Service was good. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars only because it’s a small place and once packed it’s hard to hear yourselves at your own table, so I recommend going in the beginning of a rush for a more intimate meal.

Bamboo Leaf is a real gem. It is tiny and crowded but the Thai food it serves is authentic and delicious.

We came on a Sunday night, the place was pretty well attended with only a handful of tables left open. We started with the Som Tum, which tasted as the farthest thing from what the dish should taste like. It was incredibly salty, but not just from fish sauce, like salt. There was no hint of lime and was highly disappointing. We were concerned this would be the same for the rest of the menu but it wasn't. The green curry was nice, soupy, but nice. What was remarkable about it was the sheer amount of ingredients in the curry. It was full of vegetables and protein. The other dish we got was the basil stir fry, it was very greasy and left a burnt grease aftertaste.
