Bamboo Thai Heslington is a fully licensed Thai restaurant and takeaway at 11 Hull Road in York, within easy reach of the University of York. The dining room has a casual, friendly character and gives guests the option of enjoying the kitchen’s food at a table or taking it home.
Every dish is prepared individually after it is ordered, allowing the kitchen to build the fresh, aromatic balance central to Thai cooking. Starters, curries and stir fries sit alongside noodle and rice dishes, with heat, sweetness, acidity and herbs combining in different proportions across the menu.
Pad Thai brings thin rice noodles together with egg, beansprouts, tofu, vegetables, lime and ground peanuts, while pad kee mow pairs wide noodles or jasmine rice with garlic, chilli, basil and vegetables. Steamed jasmine rice, coconut rice, sticky rice and egg fried rice provide several accompaniments for curries and wok cooked dishes.
Thai beers, wine and non-alcoholic drinks complete the restaurant experience. Many dishes can be adapted as vegan or gluten-free, but the kitchen uses nuts and cannot guarantee the absence of traces, so anyone with an allergy or other dietary need should speak to staff before ordering.
