My visit took place during about a month into their soft opening. I frequent visit when it was in Eden Center and was delighted to know they moved up to Rockville.
Upon entering, they did a great job decorating the space. The smell of fresh waffles was very welcoming. They looked like they expanded their menu from che to crepes, ice cream, and tea. My mom and I knew exactly what we were ordering when we went (always the same thing) - their che desserts.
Service was friendly and more accommodating than before. I say that because I don't particularly care for the herbal jelly in my dessert drink, and they didnt allow substitutions when they were at Eden. This time, I was able to omit the herbal jelly and get more of the red tapioca, which is my fav.
To say the least about our desserts, it was not very good. They came out at a reasonable time, but we found that the ice had hardened to a big ball that was tough to break up. My mom's dessert came with some taro and it tasted extra artificial. Their pandan jelly didn't taste like pandan. My dessert was supposed to include coconut milk but I didnt taste any coconut. In the end, we threw about 70% of it out.
Perhaps our memory failed us or our expectations were too high, but it didn't taste like the Bambu we have known. There's still a lot to offer from the menu and I don't want to write it off completely. I do plan to give this another shot, but my rating for now stands firm at a 2.
