Maybe the best chinese buffet in the Northeast. If you are looking for a buffet where you can get chicken nuggets, cheese pizza, and meatloaf along with your general's chicken and lo-mein.....this isnt the place. If you are looking for high quality ingredients and food freshly prepared (including sushi) as if you just ordered it off the menu, look no more! read more

Surprisingly very good for a cheap $13 lunch buffet. They kept replenishing the food so it came out steaming hot, and it wasn't just sitting out getting cold. There is a wide array of selections to choose from such as chicken wings, dumplings, beef and broccoli, sushi, etc. Usually I hate buffets but I don't mind this one. The restaurant is also very clean and spacious. My parents love this place. read more

Went to Bamboo for the first time yesterday with friends. We received our check and gave the waitress, named "Candy", a 20% tip on the food portion of the bill. To our shock and surprise, she returned to our table and told us we did't leave her a large enough tip!!! We explained that we tip only on the food not the tax. She argued with us until we finally asked for the manager. He supported her and gave a lame apology to us! After the manager left, the waitress came back to our table again to give us her point of view! There was no getting through to her. In hindsight, I wish we had just taken the tip back. It's a gratuity and she was clearly not grateful. Will never go back to Bamboo again. In all my years, I've never experienced anything so inappropriate at a restaurant before.

Ah, Bamboo... Our standby restaurant in Sharon went out of business when the owner and his wife went back to China...so we reluctantly started going to other places. One day, my dad was going to see a film with his best friend and decided to check out this new place, Bamboo. They sit down, and who is the waitress but the wife of the owner of Jade Garden? The best waitress in the world! Bamboo's a bit pricey for "regular" Chinese dining, but the food's mad good, the staff is wonderful and the decor is gorgeous. The only thing that sucks is that you can't get wonton as a soup option when you order from the buffet. However, the buffet is great. read more

Delicious and attractively served. We had hot&sour soup, lettuce-wrapped chicken entree, pad thai, wonton soup, and all were excellent. Service was attentive and efficient. read more

I'm honestly a little confused after reading so many positive reviews on this place. Came for the Sunday dinner buffet and left feeling like it really wasn't worth it. The selection was not nearly as wide as advertised, and can't hold a candle to any other buffets I've gone too. Food itself was ok - certainly not better than your run of the mill Chinese buffet, and a lot of items (particularly the small variety of sushi they had) were empty the entire hour we were there. For the price ($24.95) I would go to literally any other buffet. Flaming grill and supreme buffet in Roslindale or Yamato in Norwood are infinitely better options if you're looking for sushi. Will not come back here again. read more

Our favorite place for sushi and Mai Tais. We especially love Carmen, the bartender. She's very attentive and personable. She always remembers our names and our drinks. read more

Food is okay, but not spectacular. That said, the presentation is very nice. Waitress understood no English at all. Asked for the wine list and it was clear that she had no idea what we were asking for. Asked if we could get the Kung Pao Chicken with white meat chicken only and she was lost again. If you are okay just pointing at the menu, you'll do fine. read more

The food I order was very cold, shrimp fried rice and man the food was cold. I love bamboo but this time I was very disappointed.

Surprisingly this place was pretty decent. Ordered the hamachi kama and the home style tofu. I only ate the hamachi kama and it was really good. It was grilled perfectly and super meaty. The Home style Tofu comes with deep fried tofu with vegetables in a brown sauce. The boyfriend ate all of it and he is pretty picky when it comes to tofu but he gave a thumbs up for this place. He was just as surprised as I am with how decent this place is because we don't typically care for places that have two different menus (they had a chinese menu and a japanese menu). Overall decent for a quick bite. read more

My wife loves the sushi from here. I got General Gao's chicken that was OK and had some white meat. I am still looking for that Asian place that gives you all white meat and no thighs. read more

We've been coming here for the lunch buffet for a few years now. There is a good variety of sushi and Chinese food items. Overall the food quality is good for buffet and the price is cheap. My only complaint is that the pans are always pretty sparse. They need to bring more food out more often and make sure the pans are full. The wait staff is friendly enough and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. read more

Love the food here, loved the decor. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was very comfortable and clean. It is kind of pricey at some points (a shot of tequila will run you $10) so I guess it's best to avoid the bar if you're on a budget. Definitely check it out though. read more

Wow! Everything was great! The sushi ranks very high (try the crazy, Idaho and rainbow). The egg rolls were awesome. General Gao was so good and the beef sukiyaki (nabe mono) was awesome. Service was perfect and drinks were plentiful. A great night out. read more

I actually like this place for sushi - kinda strange that it is in a Holiday Inn. It is not Oishii quality but there are some tasty rolls.

The Chinese cuisine is fresh, made to order and delicious. Tried and loved the Crystal Scallops. Excellent! Don't let the fact that they're in the Holiday Inn dissuade you. read more

I went for a birthday gathering. Our party took up 3 tables of 10, with only 1 waiter. Never had a problem trying to locate him. Very efficient! Can't wait to go back!! They had a buffet and believe me, I am not a fan of buffets but the food taste so fresh and the selection, although small, was just right. I also recommend this place if you ever just want to stop in and have a couple drinks and an appetizer. I had a Mai Tai and a Mango Mojito and they were SO DELICIOUS!! read more

Sushi and Chinese in one place and I think much better than pf changs across the street. If you like duck you won't be disappointed with theirs. Highly recommend it. read more

Can't go wrong with the buffet here, best Chinese buffet I've ever had. Nice variety of food and always fresh. 100 times better Chinese food than "PF's" across the street. Their sushi is phenomenal and last but not least, great lunch take out specials during the week. read more

The lunch buffet here is pretty amazing. For $13, you get all the usual suspects at a Chinese buffet plus some sushi made fresh at the bar (not made to order). Even though the selection seems somewhat limited at first, the quality really makes up for it. It would have been 5 stars if its not so expensive. read more

I haven't tried the sushi, but the Asian food and the service are impeccable. If Martha Stewart opened an Asian restaurant this is what it would be like. The Mongolian Beef is the best I've ever had. The tempura was also very good. read more

Been here twice for the lunch buffet, had a great experience both times! They have a good variety of options, but I wish there was more variety with the sushi. I love a good veggie roll, but I didn't see it out amongst the offerings. Tried the fried rice with brown rice today which was a tasty change. I love that the mixed veggies has baby bok choy- yum! The Vietnamese summer rolls were decent. I like when they have the individual bowls of edamame, but today they had shrimp cocktail instead. They charge for the hot tea, which I don't love, but the sugar sticks almost make up for it :) read more

Eaten here several times now. Best Chinese buffet around. Offers surprisingly good buffet sushi and Chinese. Love the chocolate fortune cookie and ice cream flavors. Come here hungry! Love love love! read more

Cool place .. not too common to find a place that serves Chinese and Japanese food. The sushi is amazing and the prices are okay. Staff has always been pleasant it's a nice atmosphere. Would come back again read more

A nice little restaurant in dedham. Was here on vacation and decided to stop by and glad that I did. Great service and even better food. The good is a little pricy but for good reason. If you like sushi then this is a must. There sushi is amazing. I would suggest the Celtic Maki. It is one of their specialties and is really good. I will definitely visit again if I am in the area again read more

Nice place, clean, professional, good english speakers. We come here for the lunch buffet. They have the usual Chinese food at buffets, but it tastes less oily and less fried than other places - in other words, not as bad for you. They also have a sushi section with real raw fish on the rolls, tuna, salmon. the sushi runs out pretty quick, and they aren't in a hurry to replenish it, but still, better than I'd expect. read more

I was a little disappointed when we arrived and saw a tiny room that was the buffet. I guess it is just small compared to other Asian buffets I've been to that have more than one room of food. The amount of vegetarian options was not very impressive and I don't think there was any vegetarian sushi either. Even so, we managed to stuff ourselves until I could barely walk, especially with that tub of green tea ice cream. The food itself was of good quality and we didn't even need to eat dinner later that day. For a $16 lunch buffet, I think the price is fair. read more

This is by far the best place in the area for Chinese food mad sushi . The service selection and room are all perfect . Price value on food and drink are spot on !!! Keep it up read more

This restaurant locates next to a Holiday Inn, the restaurant looks very upscaled upon the entrance. The overall setting is also nice inside. You could order either from the menu or so buffet. As we got seated, we asked about the price. It's funny that nobody could tell us how much is it for the buffet. One person said $16.95, and the other said $23.95. No information on was available anywhere on their website or inside the restaurant. The buffet has very very limited selection. There is a little corner at the back of the restaurant, where they have around 20 choices, most of the dishes are fried, and a couple dim sum. They are not really authentic at all. They do have cocktail shrimp and ginger ice cream which were pretty good. For this price, I definitely would not go back again. read more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn with my family and boyfriend this past weekend and I ate here once while my parents ate here twice. Sushi was excellent and fresh, their crab rangoons were AMAZING, and I had a cocktail called the "scorpion" which could've been enough for two people. Overall it was very delicious and the place was lovely. read more

Bamboo Dedham is worst place ever. Foods are horrible, dishes dirty, the manager are rude.Seriously don't waste time and your money. Look for some place else. read more

Awesome! clean great food and great price! could not ask for more! also ez parking!

Don't waste your time; this place doesn't even rate 1 star. Employees don't understand English and the are rude. Never going back to this poor excuse of a restaurant. read more

I've had dinner at this place a few times and had an enjoyable experience each time. They have a wide variety of chinese and japanese options. I've had many types of the sushi, the beef and broccoli and pork fried rice - all of which are really good. The general gau's is not very good though. I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table during dinner. Wait staff is pretty friendly although I did see one newbie spill stuff twice in one night. read more

Good food, poor service. Expect to spend at least 1.5-2 hours. What kind of restaurant doesn't have coffee?!

The server was great. He did his best in taking care of all of our needs. I believe he would have been better if he had a bit more time to make us feel as if we were the most important thing in the restaurant. Still, he had the rest of the patrons to deal with and I know I am not the most important thing around. The food was good and I believe it will need a bit of improvement for it to be a mainstay and win us as the place to support. read more

The food was okay, but the service was altogether neglectful and almost nonexistent. I had never been here before but I heard good things so I invited a friend to come with me. We requested a table for two and were seated. The waitress asked us if we wanted drinks and I believe we both just ordered water. Then the waitress disappeared. My friend and I began talking and lost track of time. We realized 40 minutes later that we still had no food and had not seen our waitress since we arrived. As we looked around we noticed that everyone else had food... We were seated in the buffet area. We didn't know. We were never asked if we were there for the buffet or traditional dining. No one had explained to us that it was a buffet (being our first time, we did not know), and the buffet table was hidden behind a wall so we could not see it. By the time we realized that we needed to serve ourselves we had already been there for almost an hour, and none of the wait staff even noticed. Now, the food was good. I tried a little of everything (sushi, shrimp dumplings, some rice and beef/mushroom) and I remember being satisfied with what I had, but I definitely think the overall experience was lacking. read more

VERY BAD service, HORRIBLE. Waitress/ waiters not friendly at all and discriminating

I can't even write a review because I made reservations earlier during the day for 8pm. When I got there, they said there was no reservation. I double checked that I called the right number for the right place. It must be a very un organized place. read more

Just ordered take out from Bamboo. While the inside of the restaurant was attractive and it was very busy, the food was very disappointing. Two of the dishes, Pad Thai an Moo Shi were a poor excuse for the dish they were supposed to be. The other two tofu dishes were not half bad but they forgot to include rice with either dish. Overall, I would not recommend this place, especially for takeout where you can't send your food back. read more
