Considering how far we were from a major city my family was pleasantly surprised at the quality, freshness, and flavor of everything we ordered from Bamboo. Our waitress (may have been the owner or a manager) was pleasant and attentive. Everything came out at about the right pace even though the place was fairly busy. The decor and music gave the impression we could have been sitting in Tokyo, which is always a plus when visiting an ethnic themed restaurant. Try the premium sake. It was very smooth and flavorful. read more

Lunch with the girls was great. Loved that we had the back room to ourselves. Our server Gonzalo was attentive and polite. I had Thai Curry which was good. I asked for it to be a little hotter than what the menu states but I really didn't get any heat, but when I had my leftovers the next day it was there. Yum. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and it is one of the reasons we keep coming back. April 18, 2026 read more

First, I need to strongly recommend Charter Fishing with Ryan Dolph on Emerald Isle - he is the reason we have gotten the best restaurant recommendations and the best fishing! Bamboo is delightful and delicious. My husband and I have been here twice now, and the sushi is scrumptious. I highly suggest any roll with avocado because if you are from the north like we are, you haven't tasted what good avocado can do for a sushi roll (ok, maybe you have, but it had just been too long for us). Lovely service and clean and comfy vibe. Whenever we get back to the island, we'll be back to Bamboo! read more

Wanted some ramen and sushi and I knew exactly where we were going, we ordered 3 apps, 5 sushi rolls and ramen and was under $130. The service here as always is top notch the waiter at the time was helping my youngest son "learn" how to use chop stick all while ensuring everything else was taken care of thank you! The vibe as always is cool laid back enjoying your food, company and friendship. Defiantly will be back again! read more

Solid Sushi spot for the Swansboro area. Mrs. Kitty and her crew do a great job and represent their restaurant well. I usually come in for the lunch special and get the salmon as a bento box or hibachi style. It's always chill and easy in and out around lunch time. Perfect for some quick healthy grub, or a nice evening out. Good place and food, thank you! read more

I hate to write this, since I've been coming to this restaurant since it opened, but tonight's meal was awful. Ordered takeout and both the Philadelphia rolls and the cucumber rolls were falling apart (this has been an issue for a long time now). The salmon looked off, and the texture was weird. I ended up tossing it out. In all the years coming here, tonight, the gyoza was rubbery and overcooked. The crimped edge was hard and chewy. Worst meal I've ever had here. It's seems like eating here is hit or miss now. The quality is gone. read more

I am fondly of this restaurant for years. I saw tonight that they had new chefs at the sushi bar and they are not Asian anymore. So be it! They are still as great as the others that I remember. The spicy tuna roll was extremely spice, perhaps we will have to adjust that. Attention is great; our waitress was professional, everyone say by to you when you leave, nice touch! We'll be coming here forevermore. read more

Casual restaurant on the main road. Great service! (attentive without intruding, respectful, pleasant and knowledgeable of the kitchen and menu). Standout portion sizes! Very good selection of sushi rolls along with all the standard Asian options. Really liked the hot and sour soup which is always a good tool to measure and compare against. read more

I do love their menu, especially since I can get some gluten-free items. Not sure about cross-contamination. And you have to be careful about which soy sauce they bring you. read more

I've never had a bad meal at all here! I came around 5 and it wasn't busy.. I was a party of one and I got a cute single booth by the door by the window.. my waitress was so nice and never rushed me.. I ordered seaweed salad and the Godzilla roll.. it was one of the best rolls I've had.. great flavor! The chefs know what they are doing! Plenty of seating and had good selection of beers as well as wine and sake. I look forward to coming back! read more

Bamboo Asian House in Swansboro is exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble across when meeting friends for lunch. The lunch specials were not only delicious but also surprisingly affordable--our wallets stayed intact and we left full, which is always a win. The sushi was fresh, the hibachi was flavorful, and the portions were just right. The vibe inside was relaxed and welcoming and the service was friendly and perfectly paced. Do yourself a favor--grab some friends, order some gyoza and sake, and claim a spot on the patio. You can thank me later. read more

Bamboo Asian House is a 4 Star for the area that it is in. Basically fast food Asian food. It's good. It's safe. Has a dining room with some decorations. Serves Chinese, Thai, and some Japanese dishes ( sushi, maki). Has a liquor license and decent parking. I have only ordered take out. Food is "meh" to good. read more

The food here is so good. The service was spectacular. The waitress we had was so friendly and was checking on our refills on sauces and drinks. The food came out fast, beautiful, hot and fresh. Definitely will be back again. Awesome restaurant to eat out for a romantic lunch or dinner or casually hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is just so inviting. Has sushi, plates, seafood and steak types and even a bar. Try it, you won't regret it!!! read more

This is a very small restaurant offering an assortment of unauthentic fusion of Asian foods: Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. It's sort of an attempt at trying to do everything, but nothing well. I ordered the Pad Thai which was served practically as a soup bowl of peanut sauce, with a lump of soggy noodles. This appears to have been a southern white person's interpretation, no self respecting Asian person would have created that nor served it. If you actually understand and appreciate real Asian food, you won't go here. read more

Food was fantastic, great blend of Japanese and Thai along with a few other Asian dishes. The alcohol selection was great and included some Asian specific beers along with hot and cold Sake options, Service was quick and overall was atmosphere was present without being overwhelmed. Parking wasn't a problem, Great spot for a date night, read more

Really delicious. The general tso chicken is like a healthy version of the normal Chinese general tso. Very small inside and a little concerned about the staff they seem a frightened. But over all great place great food our waitress was wonderful definitely would come back! read more

The food is great, the people are normally great but tonight's so called manager doesn't know customer service, rude and puts people in front of her on hold to take calls multiple times while trying to finish my order. Recommend they focus on one task at a time rather than multitasking. Felt left on the side! Never asked my name or anything. When asked if she had my name, she said she did. It was 102, very rude. Give zero starts for leadership. read more

We moved to Swansboro four years ago and went to this restaurant had the worst service ever and swore we would never go back. Food was horrible, but our neighbors were having a get together and this was the restaurant they chose. We went with a party of 19 our server was Jessica J and I have to say that this was the most amazing experience at a restaurant we've had in a long time. Service in our area has seemed to declined recently, but not here she handled all 19 of us with Grace. All of our orders were timely and accurate. She accommodated any special requests. She was quick and everyone in the restaurant was very kind. Thank you. You bamboo Asian house for a great experience. You will be back again. You have changed our mind and thank you Jessica. You are awesome. read more

My only complaint is the Thai never tastes like Thai. Bland no flavor. I wish they'd work on that. otherwise, so far, everything else has been great. read more

At Emerald Isle for the winter and our PT person recommended Bamboo Asian House. We wanted Thai food and ordered Pad Thai with shrimp and Thai Curry with tofu for takeout. Both dishes were delicious. The shrimp in the Pad Thai were large and succulent. We usually prefer our tofu grilled but the curry was excellent. Friendly pickup service. We will definitely be returning to try other dishes and sushi. read more

The food was great! The service was over the top! We had 5 different dishes & everyone was happy with their meals. Hubby said Pad Thai was different than any he had ever had previously but he liked it! The fresh vegetables & brown rice were very good. Definitely worth a stop if you like Asian dishes! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Was able to get a seat immediately and lots of parking out front. The menu is large with so many options that sound very good. The workers were very attentive and the service was quick. The inside was nice and cozy and there were so outside seating options and a bar. I ordered a special roll and a salmon roll and loved both! I asked for an extra side of spicy Mayo and it was great. The food tasted fresh and the flavors went together well. The prices were very fair for ~$22 for both of my rolls. I left full and happy! Would love to come back and try some other rolls read more

Great food and amazing staff. I'm not really a fan of sushi but our server recommended one that I could actually enjoy. The only issue I have is that the restaurant is on the small side and really loud because of it. That being said they are about to start construction on a new restaurant just down the street from the other one. read more

This place outdid itself today! The hot and sour soup was beyond delicious. Whoever made it today did it perfectly! I had the scallop sashimi and the sashimi lunch. The shumai were cooked perfectly, too. I loved my server, Cindy. I sat at the sushi bar and the chefs did a great job! read more

Food has never been bad but for Asian type food it has no flavor at all. It seems like everything tastes the same like they changed the flavor profile to make Americans happy with little to no flavor. For the price there has to be better options! read more

We both had prompt service and they brought our drinks out quickly. Our meals were delicious As for the feel of the restaurant it was decorated appropriately with the Asian cuisine that they served. We are planning on going back to this restaurant this week. read more

My biggest regret was getting ramen here. All the pictures of the sushi at this place looks legendary! I was in the mood for something different so I ordered ramen (big mistake). To my disappointment, the broth didn't taste good and their boiled egg tasted strange to me. Their miso soup however, was very great for cold weather. I've seen other couples order a whole a sushi boat and I was so jealous. Definitely coming here again to try their sushi, but hard PASS on their ramen. The server we had was super sweet so A+ on their customer service. read more

They took me to this Japanese place and I like it. I ordered Sashimi deluxe and I'm good, meaning I don't get sick on my stomach so I can tell their fish are fresh.Other rolls are good as well. Staff was nice and friendly and attentive as well. I definitely recommend this japanese restaurant if you guys craving for japanese food read more
