Thai Bamboo - Barrie

I am a fan of both Italian and Thai cuisine, and as a frequent traveler, I have visited numerous Thai restaurants, including those in Thailand. Thai Bamboo in Barrie is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. Unlike many small family-operated Thai/Asian restaurants, Thai Bamboo is a medium-sized restaurant run by Caucasian individuals. In my opinion, the best Thai restaurants are typically operated by Thai families or individuals. The menu at Thai Bamboo is quite unusual, as it requires customers to choose their sauce before selecting their preferred meat for dishes such as Drunken Noodles. This approach is reminiscent of budget Italian restaurants, where patrons first select their pasta and then the sauce to accompany it. Personally, I prefer when restaurants offer a variety of pre-selected dishes with carefully chosen ingredients for a truly exceptional dining experience. I found the focus on sauces at Thai Bamboo to be appealing, so I attempted to try three different sauces, but unfortunately, this was not allowed. Disappointed, I settled for the coconut chicken soup, which was recommended by another diner. The portion size was generous and suitable for a family, and the price was reasonable. However, I found the soup to be lacking in flavor, with an overwhelming taste of coconut and milk and a lack of other essential ingredients such as lime and lemongrass. Additionally, the chicken pieces and mushroom slices were overly large, making it difficult to eat comfortably. Ultimately, I did not finish the soup and chose not to take the leftovers home. I do not anticipate returning to Thai Bamboo in the future. For those seeking delicious Thai cuisine in Barrie, I recommend trying Chaopaya instead.

Great food and beautiful casual ambience. This is my favorite barrie restaurant. I recommend the chicken pillow Thai and the chicken chocolate soup and the vegetable pack appetizers. Try not cooked.

We had drinks and food and the plate were large and very tasty, their spring rolls were also very tasty

My wife and I have dined here several times and are pleased with the experience every time. The menu is varied and the portions are generous. If you don’t want to have leftover pad Thai for tomorrow’s lunch, then share a single order,, there’s lots!!

We were in the market for Thai and I had read an article saying it was worth it to check out. Very glad we did! We ordered the pad thai and green curry (both with chicken) for takeout. Really enjoyes the flavour if the green...curry the spice wasn't overwhelming and the portion size was generous. The pad thai was also delicious and had an nice authentic taste. Definitely will be ordering from them again!
