Dining at Bamboo is a comfortable, casual experience — the interior reflects the restaurant's longstanding presence in the community, offering a nostalgic charm rather than upscale decor. This is a place where the food truly takes center stage. Customers like Heather Anger appreciate the nostalgic connection, having enjoyed Bamboo’s chicken balls since childhood, while Carol Cooper raves about the recently discovered cheese wontons, noting their perfect balance of crispy exterior and gooey cheese filling.
The delivery and takeaway options are equally reliable, making Bamboo an excellent choice for those nights when you want hot, satisfying Chinese food delivered right to your door.

One minor note from customers is the dining experience itself. The simplicity of the plates and the modest dining room may not suit those seeking a sleek, modern vibe. However, if you prioritize generous portions, authentic flavors, and excellent value, Bamboo delivers in spades. As regular Rob Mchenry wisely puts it, “If good food at a good price is all you need, check them out.”

Love their food! We ordered on New Year's day and they were quite busy. Which was expected. Got our food a bit late but it was just as good, hot and plentiful as it always is. Ane we now have a new favorite- cheese wontons.

Good hot food there but some places it's not really hot---prices are good I would go again only one thing I didn't like was the plates were not warmed up-----THIS takes the temperature of food DOWN---------SO EAT FAST

I haven't ever had any bad food from here, it's been around since the beginning of time so it can't be bad. The inside hasn't been updated since then either, so if a fancy dine in experience is what your looking for perhaps looks else where. But if good food at a good price is all you need check them out.

Great place and great food. My wife and I get food from here all the time and she loves their BBQ honey spare ribs. I usually get wings and rice and it's very filling. Good portion sizes for the rice and very delicious food. They are so good they tend to get very busy at certain times of the day, so I know it's not just my wife and I who love the food but all the locals do too.

Although more than 2 hours after the order was to be ready, I give them 5 stars. With the mountain, literally, of food to be made the staff did their best. The food was fresh, hot and tasty when I did return home. Being New Year' s Eve it was expected to be beyond busy. Many customers were unimpressed and some were rude but all in all, given the circumstances I will return. The only suggestion to the ownership is to try to expedite things a bit differently and not overwhelm the kitchen by taking too many same time orders. Preorders should be second only to the deliveries and then walk-ins. Beyond that, well done.

Been coming here for years, it’s my families favourite place to order from. Some dishes have changed a bit but that’s to be expected! I am very happy with the service I’ve received, will always return to bamboo!

Bamboo is a favorite. It's been around forever. Food is top notch. service was slower than usual and they do a lot of take out. Mostly take out. You could grab a table or sit at the front. It was cold inside while I waited so it's really a take out place. Awesomeness
