How One Family Brought Three Cuisines to the Palisades
Bambu is a Thai, Japanese, and Chinese restaurant tucked into the Palisades neighborhood of Northwest DC — every dish cooked to order, from scratch, every time.
Pleasantly surprised how wonderful meal I had. Sat at the bar and enjoyed one of the best Pad Tai with chicken dishes. Along with sticky rice with mango. Fresh and delicious. Comfortable and relaxing atmosphere they even have several parking spaces. Really nice neighborhood establishment!!
I've been coming to Bambu since I was a little kid and the food has always been amazing. I love the atmosphere too!
The food quality is excellent. The service is prompt and friendly. Whenever I'm craving a delicious buffet, this place is one of my top choices.
