" I visited Bamboo last week and I was thrilled with the experience! The staff were friendly and attentive. We got there early to avoid the crowd, which was a good idea because by the time we left, it was packed. The food was fantastic! I especially loved their spicy eggplant and salt and pepper fish; both were incredibly flavorful. The portions were very satisfying, and I appreciated that tea was included with the meal. I will be coming back for sure, maybe for their karaoke nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was an average experience overall. The ambiance was pleasant, and the tea was a nice addition. However, I found the SOUP to be rather bland compared to what I'm used to. The dumplings were decent, but didn't quite meet my expectations as they were overcooked. I may consider giving it another shot in the future, as I enjoy local gems. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise Bamboo enough! Each visit, I’m met with friendly smiles and excellent service. The food options are diverse, and all the dishes I’ve had were spectacular. The highlight for me is the Wonton Soup—it has the right amount of flavors that keep me coming back. This is where you want to celebrate special occasions with family and friends. Keep doing what you’re doing, Bamboo! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I didn’t have a great experience here. The food was bland and didn’t meet the high expectations set by other reviews. I ordered the House Special Fried Rice, and it was missing flavor and vegetables. The atmosphere is nice enough, but that alone wasn’t enough to win me over. The service was friendly, but I’m not sure I would try it again based on this meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had an unfortunate experience last night. Got takeout and found my chicken dish to be undercooked. I immediately returned it and mentioned it to the staff who apologized and offered to make a new dish. They seemed genuinely concerned, which I appreciated. The food when cooked properly can be delightful, but I hope they check their quality control moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place nails it! Everything from the delicious Walnut Prawns to their spicy Mapo Tofu was impeccable. I'm thrilled that they offer a variety of dishes that suit different palettes. The service here is outstanding; our server was really attentive and kept checking in on us. This will definitely be my spot for any future Chinese cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my recent visit to Bamboo. The food lacked the punch I expected, especially since I’ve heard so much praise about their dishes. The Crab Rangoon, which is usually a highlight, felt stale, and the fried rice was a letdown with too much soy sauce. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, but the food did not meet my expectations this time. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
