Bamboo Leaf Thai Eatery - BRADLEY BEACH

Best Thai food in Central Jersey. Prices are super high, and they charge extra for credit.

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.

Excellent food every time you go. Family owned and you feel welcomed by all employees. Love love the pad thai and drunken noodles. Totally worth it every time!

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!

First time, but not the last. Food was so clean and fresh, nice vibe, good people, highly recommend
