I have been to Bamboo Thai Bistro 5 times in the last 6 months and everytime I get the Pad Thai and it is absolutely amazing. I have had Pad Thai from 4 other restaruants in the last couple years, trying to find a place that compares to Bamboo Thai and it is a no go. I wish that it... More

It took courage to enter the small unappealing strip mall unwelcoming building, but once inside was pleasantly surprised. Attractive, if simple, dining room, and wonderfully prepared Thai food and sauces. Only the overcooked duck itself (likely prepared days in advance) in a lovely green curry with fresh vegetables lowered my food rating. Definitely above average.

We come to Tulsa for horse competitions and love sushi. We went with friends and some had sushi while I had the curry fried rice. It was all really good. Service was quick and the place looked clean inside. Don't let the outside facade of the restaurant scare you.

We are visiting Tulsa and used Trip Advisor when finding this place and boy, were the reviews right on! Really delicious pad curry, wonderfully spiced and killer flavor. My friend had the Pad Thai and said it was equally delicious. Fair pricing and portions large enough that I also have lunch for tomorrow. If you like Thai food, you will... More

Bottom line: Excellent Thai food and service. The local physicians who took me here say it's the best Thai in Tulsa. I trust them. Ambience: A place for a dependable, great value, lunch or dinner. Not necessarily a place for a special occasion, but clean and quiet. Location: Not the nicest part of town, and a little hard to get... More

My husband and I just moved to Tulsa from Colorado and this was our first Thai food experience in Tulsa. Our overall impression was of fresh food, lots of choices, and very tasty curries. We shared fresh spring rolls to start (peanut sauce was delicious), shared Tom Ka soup (a little bland for our taste), and ordered a spicy red... More

The interior of Bamboo Thai Bistro is a pleasant surprise - understated and tastefully done. The food is excellent and service is very good. My place to go for Thai!

Located within a non-descript, windowless building at the corner of two bland highways, this restaurant gives no hint of the treasures inside. Soothing music, comfortable seating, and excellent service await. It’s small, maybe a dozen or so tables, but they are well spread out so that one can enjoy an intimate and quiet meal. My wife and I came in... More
