*The Dallas Morning News has selected this location as one of the Top 100 Restaurants in D-FW.*
The bright, fresh, herbal, often fiery cuisine of Isan in northeast Thailand is the draw at Shelly Nan’s casual restaurant, where her mom is chef. Skip the pad Thai and satays, ask Nan to recommend a few Isan dishes — and don’t miss the chalkboard specials. Liquor license pending; until then, it’s BYOB. Closed Sunday.

I am not a food or restaurant Critic, but if I were I i i would have to say I thought the food deserves an
A+ rating, but the restuarant experience a D rating The reason being when I asked for more sticky rice to with the tiger beef, which by the way I was given a very small portion to start with, there was a $3 charge on the bill for an additional order of rice....come on really. The food was good , but not good enough to go back do to the nickel dime over a small portion of rice.

Bambu’s menu includes greatest-hits Thai dishes such as satays and pad Thai and green papaya salad and panang curry. But it’s the Isan dishes that set my heart aflutter. A few are indicated on the menu — “Esan” beef jerky (chewy, smoky, delicious finger food you dip in a chile-hot red sauce); spicy “Esan”-style chicken soup laced with lemon grass and thick, udonlike noodles; and “Esan” waterfall beef salad, flavorful, marinated slices served on lettuce leaves. But Nan is happy to point out others to anyone interested in discovering the fresh, bright, herbal — sometimes fiery — cooking of Isan. (Full review)
