During my visit to Austin, I had the pleasure of trying out Bambu, a Vietnamese restaurant known for their halo-halo. Being a Filipino, I couldn't resist the temptation to give it a try. Fortunately, Bambu didn't disappoint.
The first thing that struck me about their halo-halo was its perfect balance of sweetness. It wasn't overly sugary, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. The generous amount of filling was another highlight. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of coconut meat, which added a delightful tropical twist to the dessert.
However, I did find that there were a bit too many red beans in the halo-halo. While some may enjoy the abundance of red beans, I personally prefer a more varied mix of ingredients. Nonetheless, the overall experience was satisfying and reminded me of the halo-halo I grew up with.
Aside from their halo-halo, Bambu offers a wide selection of other dishes and beverages. Although I didn't have the chance to try them all, it gives me something to look forward to on my next visit.
Overall, if you're a fan of halo-halo and find yourself in Austin, Bambu is definitely worth a visit. Their halo-halo delivers on taste, with its balanced sweetness and generous filling and don't forget to explore the other enticing options on their menu.

I have been here multiple times. Every time I visit the empty cups, every table seems like they don't clean up. I love all their drink. The interior is nice, but they need to maintain cleanliness, in my opinion.
Okey, this is the updated review
I visited the place, and it was spotless. The lady in the front was so polite
Amazing selection of boba jellies and smoothie combos. New to boba? Tell them what you like, the staff is incredibly patient. Today we cooled down with the Bamu special, a berry lime smoothie with strawberry bursts, and a hazelnut mocha. Sweet delicious. The seating is comfy, clean and relaxing.
Came on a busy Sunday around noon. Our group ordered the Fruit Addict, Red Bean Combo, and Passion Fruit drinks. I asked for less sweetness. Drinks came out quickly (within 5 minutes). We all loved our choices. So many variety to choose from, so you can't go wrong!
Located within the Chinatown with plenty of free parking lots. Bamboo is the best place in Austin for the most popular Vietnamese deserts. Should be a good choice for deserts with just a short walk after having Vietnamese cuisine or shopping around. They used to have very good waffles but seems like they have recently changed the waffle recipe, it is just not as good as before IMO. Highly recommend if you like sweet treats. My favorite ones are "chè sương sáo đậu xanh", "chè ba màu", avocado smoothies, and pandan waffles. They currently open for dine-in with a piece of note on each table to let you know if the table is cleaned and ready to sit. Customers should turn the note upside down before leaving the table they have been sitting so that the staffs know it needs to be cleaned.
The coconut mocha is so good! Way better than Starbucks ANY day. They also have some amazing waffles. Worth the wait to make. 10/10.
Very good smoothies, great variety of flavors, they just need to clean the floor a little bit better because every time I go I see trash around. Other than that very nice place to get a snack.
The wait is pretty crazy but the drinks are so worth it. I suggest the green apple with green apple jelly if you like tart. The mango smoothie is super tasty, too. Good for kids and adults alike!

Best place to go for drinks in Chinatown plaza! I love coming down here every time I'm in Austin for their huge variety of drinks, teas and shakes. They are very friendly and the inside is really welcoming, nice and clean with lots of tables, couches and booths. They also have a clean bathroom and outdoor tables. It's a great place to hang out and work on homework or just relax with friends, they have fast Wi-Fi so you don't need worry about using your data and plenty of places to plug your computer or phone. Plus they usually put up major sporting events, as I'm writing this they have the 2018 Russia World Cup; Croatia vs England playing live on a fairly big TV with a small crowd watching inside. I love that it doesn't get overly crowded and they make the drinks fast. They are all very tasty and different than your typical Starbucks, with jellies usually being in the drinks, plus they're a way better value than other coffe shops. The drinks themselves are enough reason to come, the atmosphere is just the icing on the cake. If you're down in this area, you'd be doing yourself a favor to stop by.
