Ate in the ground floor dining room which had an expensive feel and was a romantic and intimate environment to eat in. Service was polite and attentive the entire meal. The starters were average to good and the main courses were good to ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm I eat out for lunch a lot with my job doing lots of client entertaining, and 'Bam Bou' is right in the heart of medialand on Charlotte Street. I have to say, and I am a cynical bugger, that I am surprised at some of the negative reviews below. I've probably eaten there on at least 4 occasions this year and have found the food to be practically ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm Overpriced. Watered down cocktails. Mediocre food. Staff who behave like they are better than their customers. Definitely not going back & wouldn't recomend it to anyone else. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm Having been to Vietnam in November, I was eagerly anticipating going to Bam Bou with my husband for his birthday last weekend. Although we didn't readily recognise many of the dishes (no Pho?) we started off with great cocktails and did enjoy the meal itself. The starters (the dumplings and the crispy soft crab) were both delicious and reminded ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm I would give it an "OK". The restaurant is certainly trying very hard to create the Thai/Vietnamese atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food is very bland and reads better than it tastes.

The service was "OK": very attentive topping up our wine glasses (hoping for us to ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm Went here with my wife on a Saturday night. Great atmosphere and stylish decor. The food was unusual and very good. We thought the service was pretty decent too. The only drawback of the place is the feeling that the management want to get as much money out of you as possible. eg. before 9pm you only have a 2-hour slot so they can get as many ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm Great food, great decor, great atmosphere - especially when sitting out on the terrace and people-watching on Charlotte Street! Highly recommended - make sure you try the chocolate spring roles for pudding! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm I have been there twice and I've always been very happy with the food and the atmosphere. Sometimes can be noisy. It's expensive but worth. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant last night for our anniversary and had a lovely meal. We arrived a little bit early, so asked if we couldn go up to the bar for a drink, which we were told would be fine. We returned downstairs about half an hour later to be shown to our table. The dining room is large but has quite a few tables packed ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm great place for a really memorable night out. the atmos and buzz is better than anywhere in the same bracket. it reminded me of Hakkasan but with out the appaling staff attitude. our waitress was Camilla and she couldn't have been more attentive, friendly or accommodating. the dishes she recommended were all superb - pork with scallops and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/240.htm
