Food portions are good and it's packaged well. I've had the jerk, stew and curry chicken. Pretty satisfied. I've ordered from them via Uber Eats read more

Y'all definitely hyped it up. Probably has been sitting all day ackee/cabbage mushy. Rice and peas/chicken dry. May not be prepared fresh. Just an honest review, I'll be so hungry just to be disappointed sometimes. Made my stomach hurt. read more

This restaurant is located inside a lounge which was pretty nice and they were playing good music. Staff was very nice and attentive. I had the snapper with rice and peas and plantain and a side of jerk pork. So good! Everything was well seasoned and the portions were also pretty big and worth the money. I'll definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

A few colleagues ordered lunch from here and because I love Caribbean food I was definitely down. I got the stew chicken lunch special and I wish I had gotten the regular meal because I was left wanting more! Food was picked up but I was told this spot turns into a lounge as well. read more

NEW LOCATION across street from.old spot. This is more upscale spot. I dug in before taking pic, but OXTAIL plate Portion size is A-1 & gravy was on point. My sun had the Veggie Rasta Pasta & is was good. Will be Back. The ambiance trendy but no lame grass wall. BAMBOO Restaurant Bar & Loung read more

Food is great but prices are really high and they are always out of spot of items on the menu . My advice is to get there early especially for Lunch time if you want to take advantage of lunch specials or be able to get certain menu items read more

Chicken Soup Both my mother & mother-in-law love their chicken soup. They are always courteous & provide good service. read more

As mentioned in the past, their food is ALWAYS the epitome of authentic and EXCELLENT Jamaican flavor. The food is so full of flavor. The customer service is so warm and full of soulfulness. The new vibe (Jewelz) is modern, yet embracing. The only suggestion I have is to order your food before 8p.m. for more reasonable pricing. This is the place to go eat REAL Jamaican food on this side of Gwinnett County. read more

I'm used to going to bamboo next to the gas station but now they moved inside this lounge across the street by the racetrac and up the prices, drove 40mins for their oxtails and got charged $132 for 3 plates.. like normal plates of oxtails $36 per plate and the chick decided to autograt on the order that was to go. I really enjoyed bamboo but I believe this will be the last time I'll be eating from here due to their changes in price and the auto gratuity. The only reason I still got the order was everywhere else I would have gotten oxtails from was closed read more

I ordered chicken roti and noticed the sour smell as soon as it came out of the bag and then cut into the chicken to see red. I had to throw the whole order away. I don't know if it just happened to be a bad day but this was not a good first impression, I was very disappointed. read more

Excellent food and great value. We enjoy both the curry and jerk chicken. It's enough food for two meals.

RASTA PASTA!!!! That is all you need to know... well, that combined with brown stewed chicken as a lunch special for $6.50. I was so one-track minded that I didn't really bother to look closely at the menu when I walked in for the first time on June 12th, 2018. I'd bookmarked this place a few months back after reading another yelpers review that described the oxtails as being the best they'd had outside of their own Caribbean heritage. So I had oxtails on the brain and could not be deterred by menu choices. However, after hearing a customer in line order the RASTA PASTA, I was intrigued by the cleverness of the name. So I asked her if she would recommend it and her response was so enthusiastic, I knew I had to try it! So glad I did because it was friggin' delicious! Best described as a penne pasta w/yellow alfredo sauce seasoned with Caribbean flavors and just a hint of spicy heat. I also order the OXTAILS as I had planned, and although they were good, they took a back seat to the pasta. My only complaint with the oxtails was the price and lack of meatiness. But no complaints on flavor. The oxtails were very good and slightly sweet, which was a delightful surprise. The CABBAGE and PLANTAINS included with each meal were better than average when compared to other Caribbean restaurants in the Atlanta area. I also hope to try the curry chicken patty on my next visit. I'd never heard of a curry chicken patty so I was totally intrigued, but it was going to take 30 minutes for a fresh batch to be made and I didn't have the time to wait. Rasta Pasta - 5 stars Brown Stewed Chicken - 4.5 stars Oxtails n' gravy - 4 stars Cabbage & plantains - 4 stars Rice n' peas - 3 stars (rice a little too firm) SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE The interior is rather small and not much seating, but the service is large! Staff is friendly and eager to please! Located in the right corner unit of a gas station mall doesn't allow for much Caribbean ambiance, but friendly service more than makes up for that. FINAL THOUGHTS If your the type of reader that skipped everything I said above, just remember two words: Rasta Pasta! Also, be sure to take advantage of the lunch special! 2018/34 read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I came here and ordered a jerk pork dinner. The jerk pork is not out at the front like all other dishes they serve... the lady at the front plated my rice, steamed veg & plantain & put it down & told someone at the back a jerk pork order. Went to the back & put reheated jerk pork in the box. See picture where all the pieces were clumped together as if it was frozen & reheated. I have come here many times before & had great jerk pork & this time was just terrible. It wasn't fresh. It was cooked long before.. put down & reheated. Instead of offering an apology - the manger/owner/whoever is more senior than the person who answers the phone.. she asked me to bring the pork back today (it's 5:44pm) or tomorrow.... Because "I came there hours ago and ordered" I left the restaurant at 5:08pm Learn to deal with your customers better and admit fault and provide solution - even if that solution is a simple apology. Not to lie & condescend people. read more

Absolutely delicious, friendly customer service you won't find at most Caribbean restaurants ( I'm just being honest) very flavorful we had the jerk chicken & brown stew chicken read more

I order the jerk chicken and curry chicken lunch special from here frequently. I always think about switching it up to try something new but these dishes are so good I can't. The lunch special comes with a large helping of chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. I usually have enough to make two meals out of the order. I normally call ahead or use Uber eats so I'm not sure how quick the service is if you were to walk in. read more

OMG! SO DELICIOUS! I am so glad that I finally stopped by to give this restaurant a try. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a smile and the young lady explained what options were available. The amount of food you get is ALOT!!! I ordered the Curry Chicken and it is DELICIOUS! The cabbage was flavorful and not bland. I will definitely be back to try other items off the menu. This place is definitely a hidden gem. read more

I came in to a very clean restaurant, I was greeted immediately, I ordered the oxtails and the mild pattie I received 3 pieces of meat ( the last did search for the best 3 pieces picking up and putting it back serval times) the oxtails were on the sweeter side and the patty was under filled and under flavored in my opinion read more

OMG!!!! Finally...a taste of REAL Jamaican food served with a smile. I can't say enough about this hidden gem. My husband and I are pretty tough critics and the only complaint HE had was that his brown stew fish wasn't hot. Not a problem...the lovely woman behind the counter heated it up and said she had the burner that the fish is kept in on low. Makes sense cuz it would be dried out. I'm sorry this is the only picture I took. Oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. Belly was full and heart happy when I left. Check this place out!!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Bamboo Caribbean restaurant - a half eaten meal in a styrofoam container - Caribbean Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Yelp reviews brought me here, and I'm so glad they did! I tend to avoid restaurants in gas stations, but I'm glad I followed the recommendations of fellow Yelpers. This restaurant is a gem. Great food and customer service! I will return for the jerk chicken and Rasta pasta. read more

This recently popped up on my Uber Eat app to try. Not sure why I have never seen it before since they have been around a few years. I am always looking for a Jamaican restaurant that has Jerk Pork on the menu as this is my favorite Jamaican dish but most restaurants rarely have it. So this was the first thing I look for when looking at this menu and was pleasantly surprised to see that had it. So I decided to give it a shot. OMG...I am a Jerk Pork snob and I have just discovered the BEST ever! Not only is it spiced right with nice heat but they use giant chucks of crispy pork belly!!! This will become my new addiction. I just wanted to do my part for this restaurant because it does not appear they have received much love and a long time. Especially during this pandemic. I hope they survive and do well because I just discovered them. read more

This is the best Caribbean food I've had since I left Jamaica for vacation, I love the patties they have the rice and red beans are always on point the cabbage is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly I would highly recommend this place I give this place five stars because it's clean the food is on point and it never disappoints! But I will say they do tend to run out of patties fairly quickly due to how amazing they are ! read more

I love Caribbean Food especially jerk chicken! I ordered my food via Uber Eats and they forgot my plantains! I called and person I spoke with was apologetic and offered if I was close to come get them. That wasn't an option as I ordered through Uber Eats for a reason; she told me to stop in whenever I was in the area. I'm ok with this as I like to support BOB and local community overall. I give 3 stars because the chicken was really hairy! Only ate a few pieces after burning hair off myself. Looking forward to supporting again without the hair and with my plantains. read more

Popped in for lunch to go and daaaamn! I got the Rasta Pasta (they hooked me up with a huge serving) and some plantains on the side. The Rasta Pasta is freaking awesome and SPICY AS HELL. It will light you tf up. read more

Sighs...Before ordering, I was really excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews. Well, I called in an order for Brown Stew Chicken, Rasta Pasta, and Jerk Wings. I was told everything would be ready in 15 minutes. My husband went to pick up my order (after the allotted time), and it want ready. The worker that was there told him that, for call in orders, they will not make the food until the customer was there. So, what's the point of letting me place the order? I should have been told this when I called in, smh. Also, the employee had to call the owner to ask her/him what I ordered, which was wrong. The Jerk Wings were left out. As for the food...The Brown Chicken wasn't tender at all. It was also too sweet. The pasta also wasn't that great. You could tell from the consistency, that it was sitting out for a while, and wasn't fresh. I definitely would not patronize this business again. read more

Great Food and a Friendly staff that will walk you through the menu if you are new to Jamaican food. The quality and value is on point! I've been to a competitor in LOGANVILLE that over charges and are rude as can be. Here they make you feel so welcome and are so sincere. I will be back for the amazing food, the great service and the patience to educate a nerdy white guy who is new to the cuisine! Thank you Bamboo!!! As always; they never disappoint! Brown Stew chicken is my daughter's favorite; and she doesn't care for much! They cook with love and always smile when I walk in. They always make me feel like I'm coming home. Not with words, but with an expression. You can not train that or teach it. It's pride in what you serve, and they do it with every plate! Just go there! You'll see!!!! read more

The food was hot, fresh and tasty. The young lady that was at the front was super sweet and provided excellent customer service. We will definitely be back. Best jerk chicken I've had in GA. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Had the curry chicken with veggies and a plantain for lunch. I was highly disappointed as the curry had no taste or salt at all! I couldn't even eat it. I've had their curry before and it was very good, but this time was a disappointment. The spicy beef patty was very good. Not sure if I'll go back because they've been open long enough to be consistent by now. read more

I have visited Bamboo many times due to them being located near my home. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. I always get the oxtails which are super tender and large in size. The plantains are always PERFECTLY cooked. They give me no issue when I ask for extra, extra gravy on my rice. And their red velvet cake is BOMB!!!! read more

So I stopped by today for a dinner for my husband and myself. I use to frequent this restaurant in the past but have not been by for some time. I wanted two combination plates of oxtail and curry chicken. I was told that it would be $25 for each plate. ??????? $50. Okay....... NO...... so I purchased two curry chicken. All I have to say is, I won't be back for some time again. The flavor was not on point. A slight grainy texture to the sauce like a lot of flour was added. I should have gone with my first thought and went to JAYs on Hurricane shoals read more

Omg. I recently tried this place because I was in the area and it was so good. I had the small oxtail meal. Everything was delicious and I was served quickly. I did not wait long at all. Definitely going back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal They bent over backwards to please me. I got a call back the next day to see if I was pleased with the food. This place is a keeper. Will recommend this place to others. read more

Just like the previous review I have been waiting for this place to open. My wife and I came on Friday we were not disappointed. I had the jerk chicken, my philosophy is to start off with a dish that all the other places do. Bamboo's was very good. They grill the chicken first then let it cook nice and slow. The jerk sause is a BBQ with the jerk added. It starts with a little sweet then the flavor/heat comes in. The rice and peas were a little under cooked but the cabbage was very good and made up for the rice and peas. The staff was courteous and friendly, and put gravy on the rice when I asked, she even warned me the sause was hot. The price is average for a Jerk place. $10 for a small $12 for a large. After everything is said and done your looking at $20 to $25 for two people. I will go back! read more

Was in the area and decided to stop in for lunch, as I hadn't been in awhile. Service and food has gone down hill. The employees always seem to have a bad attitude and the prices has increased again, which I guess I can understand. However, the quantity of the food should be the same. But, they now charge more $$ for less food. Went in for oxtails plate. The size of the plate is what they use to consider a medium. It is now the only size they carry @$23.95/plate, plus tax. I received a scoop of rice & peas, about 2 tbsp of cabbage and 3 BONES of oxtails with hardly any meat. Just bones and fat! I asked for gravy and was told that extra gravy would cost and additional $1.25... Really??? I won't be back! There's a much better Caribbean restaurant down the street in Snellville, that's well worth the extra couple miles. read more

This place is interesting. The owner and staff members are always dry and rude. The owner will overcharge you if you're unaware of the prices. Pay attention. As for food quality, this place used to be the absolute best in the area. Something happened during the pandemic and they've taken a nose dive. The customer service will always be horrible because you're dealing with nasty, rude Jamaicans. The quality of the food is God-awful. I will NEVER set foot in this place again because on my last visit I paid almost $30.00 for 4 dry, cold, undercooked oxtails. Do better people. read more

So I'm sitting here now with my 2 favorite guys my son and husband. This is my first time here to Bamboo! And I'm in love. The place is nice and clean.

Wish I can give a zero. I received 2 pieces of meat with my order the Meat was raw not cooked had to throw it in the garbage. I called the store and complained to a female she didn't even apologize she asked me do you want the owners cell number. This is crazy how do these people stay in business ‍ read more
