Bamboo Leaf Thai Eatery

Delicious Thai Cuisine with a Few Pricing Quirks I recently dined at Bamboo Leaf, and my overall experience was quite enjoyable. The restaurant boasts an array of mouthwatering Thai dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. However, there were a couple of pricing-related quirks that left me with mixed feelings. The food at is undoubtedly excellent. We tried the Pad Thai, soups and seafood curry. The flavors were authentic and beautifully balanced. The ambiance of the restaurant also deserves praise. It had an inviting atmosphere and charming decor. The waitstaff can be a bit impatient and we saw only two servers, one of them also manages the front. However, there are a couple of issues that I feel compelled to mention. The restaurant charges a $4 fee for credit card usage, which, in today's cashless society, can be a minor inconvenience. While this is not unusual in some establishments, it's something to keep in mind when planning your visit. Secondly, I encountered an unusual pricing discrepancy when ordering soup with two kinds of protein, specifically tofu and chicken. Despite the fact that the portions for both options were identical, the restaurant charged double for the combination of tofu and chicken compared to just tofu. This pricing strategy seemed a bit arbitrary and left me feeling somewhat puzzled. For my next visit, I will limit the choice of protein to only one kind-same delicious taste and a lower price! In summary, Bamboo Leaf is a place where you can enjoy an exceptional Thai dining experience with a few minor hiccups related to pricing. The delectable cuisine and cozy ambiance certainly make it worth a visit. Just be prepared for potential credit card fees and the odd pricing structure when ordering certain dishes.

Love the food and atmosphere. The food is amazing every time I have got to go but the problem is they are closed all the time and don't update any online presence on updated times. This has happened over 5x already. No updates voice-mail or info on sites. Have to rely on calling to see if they pick up or not. The food is amazing though so it's worth sticking around for.

Went here for the first time tonight. We have been wanting t to try for so long. Super cute inside but small so it would not be great for larger parties. All of the food was absolutely delicious! Got the pad see ew & pad Thai. Vegetables and all other ingredients were super fresh - you could just tell. I also got the cucumber salad which was amazing!! We went on a Friday night so I was expecting some sort of wait for food/seating but we were seated right away. However, our order was not taken until probably 25-30 minutes after we were seated. And the food probably took another 25-30 minutes to get. Note that you may have to wait a while for your food so it might not be best to go super hungry as they only have one person taking orders for the whole restaurant (at least when we were there). Everything is made from scratch so the food was definitely worth the wait though! We will probably just order takeout when we want it again.

The restaurant has excellent Thai food and great service. However, I have tried to order twice within the past week on two separate occasions, and the restaurant has been randomly closed (Friday night and Tuesday night). Google states that they are open as well as their website; only Doordash says it is unavailable. It is not updated on any of their social medias either. No hate on the business, I love this restaurant, but just want the hours to be accurately updated please!

Went here for dinner before hitting some bars in Asbury Park. The place is small but cool vibes. Wife said place was cute. It’s BYOB so bring your own drink. There were 2 wait staff for the whole place so be patient with your order. We ordered house salad, which was bangin, basil stir fry, incredible, drunken noodles, best dish of the night, red curry, massaman curry. If u can handle spice, order spicy. Medium spice is tolerable. Incredible food and we enjoyed every bite we took. Place is affordable but above all, awesome spot if delicious food matters. If u r craving some Thai food, head here right away and thank me later 😂 We already started planning to come back immediately after we left. 🇹🇭🍲🌶❤️

Bamboo Leaf in Bradley Beach, NJ is very good Thai food. The Papaya salad was prepared as it should and hosted a really nice depth of flavor. The Pad Kee Mao was also delicious… made properly, a nice light char to the noodles, which is always a nice touch. I asked for my food to be Thai hot… and boy do they deliver! Chopped thai chilies on everything…. Finally got very hot when asked (you have to be into serious heat when asking for this here). The two dishes pictured… no drink… tax, tip and credit card fee equaled over $50 for lunch. Overall, I’d recommend. The one thing that irked me… as the check came out I was notified of the flat credit card processing fee of $4. Won’t break the bank, but this is just frustrating, annoying and petty, based on principle at this point as more and more restaurants are passing hidden fees in addition to the price of the food. (Taking a nod from those annoying cellular service providers??) This practice needs to stop, in general… Bamboo is part of the problem. Doing the math, the fee they charged was higher than the fee they inured…. So this is more than a true pass through/offset.
