Anytime I am visiting I try to get as much Chinese food as I can! We did a large takeout order from this restaurant It was carefully packaged and the gentleman working even opened the door to my car for me so I would not drop anything - how kind! I really liked that this place has reasonably priced combo plates so that way everyone was able to get exactly what they wanted Everyone was happy with their choices - I got the Peking ravioli and they were so tasty! The pork moo shu pork was also tasty. Someone let me try the beef and broccoli and that was tasty as well Locales in a strip mall with ample parking I would definitely eat here again read more

This place is pretty decent. They have a room for dining in but I got takeout. I went in to order and the lady at the counter was very nice. She said it would be about 15 minutes but it actually took 30. I got crab rangoons, pineapple fried rice, egg roll, spring roll and D16 which is orange chicken and pork fried rice. The egg roll wasn't that good and the spring roll was ok. The crab rangoons were pretty good but seriously lacking crab. What was surprisingly disappointing was the pineapple fried rice. It barely had any chicken or onions and they don't put cashews in it. Also it had a very dull one sided flavor to it. Now on to the orange chicken. The orange chicken was sweet, had a bit of an orange flavor and a hint of spicy. The chicken itself was pretty decent but some of the pieces definitely could have been crunchier. Last was the pork fried rice. It had a good flavor but was undercooked. One more thing, the hot oil. It's extremely spicy. This is a place I'd probably go to once or twice a year but not regularly. read more

The food overall was not good. The Szechuan shrimp was in a sweet and thick sauce that was not tasty. I have ordered this dish dozens of times and it has never had this type of thick sweet sauce. The shrimp did not taste fresh and the boneless ribs were like chewing on beef jerky. The fried rice was at least descent. read more

Read great reviews on a local board, thought I would give it a try. Wow! Friendly staff, fresh food, great portions. Prices exceptionally reasonable ... all around HIGHLY recommended! read more

They have the best food ever, I really love it my pick which is always the same thing . The service is always very good fast and on time , they my be hours if is holidays . I have never eaten at the restaurant ever , but I like how it looks , it's nice very clean and organized . In my opinion they have the best Chinese food of all times , I did tried other places but they is not the same . So if u e we want to eat the best Chinese food , u can most definitely try this place out . I do not like one thing the price $ went up but the food sizes went down , that is the only bad thing I can think. Over all it's a good place. I don't have any pictures right now , but when I order again I will update this review with pictures. read more

I have gone to bamboo for many years and it was good up until 2 years ago when the quality of the food was questionable and it just tastes like food you would buy at the stir and heat up read more

I'm so glad to find out they open back up for indoor seating and eating. I always find is never a busy place was just night was busy because it's Thanksgiving weekend and people were home to visit the family. We what is the house fried rice and a Pupu platter for one which ended up being perfect for the two of us I took my honey out that he eat after raving about the food from before Covid and when I will get back before the restaurants closing because of Covid. This night like before they had two people to diamond one waiter who is also the bartender who also took the autism phone in the main room for takeout and then there was one lady was doing the tea pots in the beverages and serving and then one for us in the kitchen cooking unfortunately this time the house fried rice came out cold and I didn't send it back but I figure they were busy because of COVID. The pupu platter everything was hot and fresh the egg roll was a little overcooked it was fresh inside to see wrapper was over cooked. Though. I would definitely go back there again to take my other half for dinner because I'm figuring that even if Cove it is still going on things will be different when it's not so busy in the restaurant. read more

Fresh made crab rangoons, very flavorful fried rice and lo mein, ingredients are always fresh, AND the attention to detail!! ( we have a seafood allergy in our party, yet for those who aren't allergic the goons are too good not to order) so they bag them separate for us...we drive all the way from Woonsocket just to eat here! Sing is a true gem... We will always be back for more!!! read more

I really don't want to hurt this name of this restaurant but I just found out by my order tonight that is not the same ownership nothing is the same our order of an a to and general girls chicken was undercooked and not spicy like it used to be caution it's not gonna be the same I was told it was a new ownership they're going to bury this place read more

They were so accommodating adapting to food allergies for my wife and myself. The gentleman we spoke to spent 25 minutes on the phone helping us build our own custom #gluten-free meal options. We were also pleasantly surprised to know that they are currently working on a gluten-free menu! We love this place than read more

Bamboo Express - Approved - Chinese Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

Will never go back here again. Food is horrible quality. Egg rolls are disgusting with these nasty red clumps of pork that don't look cooked. Sub par American Chinese food dishes. No and no. The location is in a random strip mall. They have limited options. read more

Drove through Bellingham and decided to stop at Bamboo Express to wait out a huge rainstorm- I cannot believe how amazing the food and service was!!!!! We ordered the Beef and Broccoli, Pork Fried Rice, Sautéed String Beans and the Hot and Sour Soup and were blown away by every single item! The meat and vegetables were incredibly fresh, everything was so tasty, with complex flavors and served piping hot! The food was super filling and satisfying without being too greasy, and the portions were HUGE! The Hot and Sour soup was less than $4 and was literally life changing, it was so good. The food was prepared quickly, the restaurant was clean, well lit, and quiet, and the service was great! Everyone who served us was incredibly helpful and friendly. This experience in general blew me away and I am so glad I stopped in- one of the best meals I've ever had. read more

Don't usually do this, but absolutely infuriated right now!... *I will NEVER EAT AT BAMBOO EXPRESS* in Bellingham again!...my sister ordered a take out last night and here is the experience. Ordered last night, and in addition to my order getting messed up, and missing items, my daughter ended up biting down on a STAPLE in the chicken and broccoli! Clearly i asked for a refund In talking to the asst. Mgr last night when all this took place. It was left that I would get a call today from the manager/owner. After I had to call her because she conveniently "could not find the note to call me", she basically called me a liar and told me that people say things to get free food. Long short after a bit of arguing back and forth (including how the staple must have fallen into the closed container when I opened the bag), she reluctantly handed me my refund telling me we could no longer do business, I loud enough for patrons to hear as I walked out the door explained that I was fine with that! I would rather a restaurant that did not serve up staples in the food... read more

So I just moved I to town and wanted to find a local Asian food spot near me. Found this place. Now to be honest I have no clue what the other reviewers are complaining about but I'm pretty sure if it wasn't made in China itself they'd have a problem. To me the food was is and will be fabulous. Just how I want my food to taste. Sure it may be a bit oily in some dishes but it's a small chinese place. Did you expect the emperor of china himself to cook it? C'mon now. The tickets are to high for travel and you already have a personal chef named chef boyardee to cook you all your favorite nutritional foods. Hell go to that nerdy whole foods and fill up on all plants in the nursery if you want to be health conscious but leave my hot spot alone. I LOVE FAT. I LOVE GREASE. GO BACK TO YOUR TOFU BURGERS. read more

First time here. Will definitely be back. Crab Rangoon delicious. Pipping hot when served. Ordered subgum chow mein and chop suey. Really good. The vegetables were so fresh. Amazing color. Served piping hot. Cooks really care about the preparation. read more

Go figure.. Chinese food on Christmas day... Very clean, and nicely decorated establishment. Server was very pleasant and attentive. I ate with 3 other people, and they all loved their meals. I recommend the spicy beef lunch special. read more

Got some great food from Bamboo.Significant improvement from last visit.Glad it's open again.

I had better expectations from this place. It was the first time I ever ordered from them and everything was super greasy. I ate pork fried rice and krab rangoons and here I am 4/5 hours later sick as a dog. I have never gotten so sick so fast from food before this. Another friend from my party also went home not feeling well. I will NOT order from here again. read more

I always do take out and order the D19 from here since it's great that you get to choose three sides of your choice .... most Chinese places have the combination plates listed and u have to sometimes substitute for things u don't like so that's a plus for me from this place... food is always fresh and consistent and staff is friendly read more

Great food. Good service if you are getting take-out. The atmosphere and service inside isn't really luxurious or top notch, but given the price range of the food it fits. What really keeps me coming back is the value. The food is great and one of the best chinese places in the area. Give it a try if you are willing to sacrifice atmosphere for value. Update: I brought it up to 5 stars from 4 because they upgraded the atmosphere big time in the past year or so and the service seemingly got better. Not perfect but enough for me to warrant a 5 star rating. They have a full bar with TVs now. I really like this place. read more

After hearing about how great the Bamboo Express was, we finally decided to try it. We went in on a Sunday afternoon. The place was quiet due to it being mid afternoon, but it was very nice inside and very clean as well. We were met and greeted by Paul, the manager. He sat us and told us about the menu. Being our first time, we asked him for some recommendations. We started with a PuPu platter for two. Honestly, it was simply the best and freshest PuPu platter we've had in years! Delicious and piping hot, everything was fantastic! We then ordered the house rice, three delights in garlic sauce and using noodles. And again, everything was simply PERFECT. This place is truly a hidden gem and is by far some of the best Chinese food in the area! Love it! read more

By far the BEST Chinese food you can buy! My favorite place to order..The staff is not only kind but very personable..Quick, hot, fresh delicious, delivery EVERY time! Highly recommend! read more

Yum, yum, yum!! We stopped in on a whim and ended up having a wonderful dinner here. Everything we ordered (egg drop soup, Peking ravioli, crab Rangoon, moo shi, fried rice, and white rice) was delicious - large portions and served fast. I especially liked that the white rice was sticky and perfectly cooked. Our server was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. A 5 star experience all the way! read more

Over cooked and under cooked food, it's the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Sesame chicken was like paste, the fried rice taste like a gas stove, crab Rangoon's were burnt around the edges, sweet n sour chicken was mushy and the chicken was tough. Don't waste your money!!! read more

Honestly I'm not even the type of person to leave reviews on anything no offense, but this place had me pissed it was god awful food was disgusting if your thinking about eating chewy undercooked oily chicken and smelly rice even their sauce was questionable tasted as if a 3yr old kid was mixing applesauce with Italian dressing yea imagine smh then this is the place for you I would never come back I've had Chinese food done right in other locations this is disappointing noting that there's probably seniors working in the kitchen waste of money time and appetite after working a 10 hour shift never ever again honestly the lack of respect in that place to dish out food like that terrible if it was up to me I would call the health department and have that place investigated cause I bet it's not anywhere close to sanitary I hope helped good eating !!!! read more

My husband and I had food delivered from here last night and it was terrible. First off the bone in spareribs were dried up and tough. It seemed that they had been sitting around for awhile. I ordered chicken and cashews which was nothing to write home about. it was if they took the same ingredients for Szechuan chicken, without the spices,and added stale cashews instead of peanuts. The spice would have been an improvement. I addition, I asked for three mustards and I go one. I guess they are not listening to their customers. We do not The Thai hot and sour soup was broth (which was very tasty) which was topped with raw tomatoes and raw mushrooms. distgusting. Are you kidding me!!! We don't eat out much but the last couple of times we have gotten food here it was bad. We will not be wasting our hard earned money on this place again, I will go the extra mile to go to Chan's. read more

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Chinese food is hard to get right but this place does some of there stuff isn't great but the staples are spot on. Also as a side note without using names our delivery guy is the nicest guy I have ever met and is always a pleasure when he comes to the door. Overall great place. read more

Very mediocre sauces on everything... the neptune dish we threw away after a couple bites. lagostino'd. chicken and broccoli was so bad. mediocre crab rangoon, pad thai. this should almost be a 1 star review but the people were nice, good hot and sour soup, lo mein, and chicken wings read more

We love this place! The food is awesome and tastes very fresh! Everything we've ever had here had been exactly what we're hoping. Great prices and ordering online with pickup is very smooth. They have it all figured out ! Highly recommend!! read more

This place is the best chinese food around in my opinion and I will only go here. THE BEST EGG ROLLS AND CRAB RANGOONS. Also solid Lo Mein.

Maybe new cooks, new owners? Got delivery from here Friday after my sister raves about her lunch that day. We've eaten here several times since it's local but kind of was going downhill. I'm glad I went again. The pork lo mein was incredible. Big pieces of pork, thin slices of zucchini and the flavor was great. Honestly some of the best I've ever had. Peking ravioli were also very good and the general G was meaty and not just all breading. The delivery was a lot longer then told but the women was very apologetic and said if anything was wrong she would remake it. We were happy with what we got p read more

It was ok ok... Crab rangoons has nice portions but tasted not great as others. I like the most on eggrolls. I would back if any other restaurant closed on that specific day. I prefer to have Fusion Express over this one. read more

Clean and good hours. I ordered take out, $50 bill and had a few different things. I ordered sweet and sour and I don't know what I got but it was not anywhere close to sweet and sour chicken. Also ordered general gau they but on the bottom of the bag it was so packed with food it squished the container and leaked everywhere. Very disappointed. read more

Stopped y with a friend who said the food was amazing. Overall I was pretty impressed with the food and drinks. Egg foo young was cooked perfectly but I thought the mai Thai was more than a little watered down good food but I would definitely be hesitant of the drinks read more

I have only gone here twice in three years. Last night was extremely disappointing. Two "spicy" entrees and ZERO FLAVOR. Let alone no heat ( spiciness) whatsoever. The best part was the pork fried rice.(reason for One star) Chinese food is not supposed to be BLAND. I will not be going back. Tossed out my leftovers. read more

I called an order in on dec 23 for a 6pm pick up on Christmas Eve, 30 hours ahead of time... This was not a small order.. Christmas Eve comes, we arrive to pick up the order at 5:50pm with about 15 people already waiting for orders.... We went in paid for it in full, over a hundred and sixty dollars.....we left the establishment at 7:22pm... not until we got home 15 minutes later did we realize that the order was NOT complete. I called in about the 3 missing items and was told to come back.... I did not go back and was told I had a credit to use at any time... 1 week later I call in to use my credit and am told at that time that I have to use it for EXACTLY what I was shorted. The original order was a large order for many different people..... my husband and I do not eat 2 of the items that we were shorted but our guests do. They would not allow a substitute even one that costs less. We will no longer use Bamboo Express.... Very Bad Business practices.... I will take my business somewhere else read more

You can either eat in or get take-out. I've never eaten in the restaurant, so I can't vouch for the service or atmosphere. However, I do get the take out pretty regularly and I'm a big fan. It's probably not the most authentic chinese out there, but the food is good -- not too greasy unless you order something deep-fried. The vegetables are always crisp and fresh. The Won-Ton soup is really good. It has won-tons, pork, veggies, mushrooms, and a wonderfully rich broth. I am always amazed that no matter how much food you order, the person on the other end of the phone always says it'll take 10 minutes. I'm also amazed that there's always at least 1 other person picking up their take-out at the same time as me, even if it's late on a Wednesday night... I recommend ordering the won-ton soup, the peiking raviolli (steamed), and the chicken with mixed vegetables or the house lo-mein (chicken, pork, and shrimp). They do combo's, so you can get pork fried rice, an entree, and an appetizer (like a spring roll -- those are good too). read more

The Bamboo Express is located in a strip mall that is hidden from the main road to which it is married. A Dairy Queen and a Honeydew Donuts obstruct the building. Once inside the parking lot, however, the restaurant marked by a yellow sign with red letters is hard to miss. The sign stands out against the off white color of the building, and the glass has golden boarders; both of these features will draw your eye. Once you step inside you are greeted with the infamous smell of Chinese food. The chilly air causes goose bumps to run up your arm. The woman behind the counter has a thick accent, is always nice yet can be difficult to understand. The dinning room is small and usually empty. Four chairs enclose each dark wooden table with a polished finish. The chairs have the same dark wood and polished finish as well as a reasonably comfortable cushion. At each seat, a Chinese Zodiac placemat awaits a customer who analyses the different animals and their respective meanings. After about 20 minutes, a distinct aroma performs a flourishing fanfare to announce the entrance of royalty-- an Emperor in the form of a plate in the hands of the waitress. There are abundant options on the menu that would qualify for royalty. Beef, poultry, pork, and seafood hooded in various sauces, each delicious in its own distinct way. The number of appetizers and sides is overwhelming. There is, however, a comforting fact that almost every option will add to the overall savoriness of meal. My own personal recommendation includes: General Gau's chicken, basil chicken, pork fried rice, beef lo mein, and boneless spare ribs. The restaurant's food selection has stood the test of time--each visit my grand expectations are reinforced. Bamboo express also accommodates take out orders, and it is very convenient. If you time your calling right, you can be in and out in less than five minutes. If you choose to partake in this crusade, you will be introduced to the most difficult test of will I have encountered. The ride home is agonizing. Like balancing a hunk of scolding ember on your tongue. The more one tries to ignore it, the more it becomes the center of his or her thinking. Eventually, this great torment gives way to great reward. The tormented may remove the ember, apply a magical healing gel to the wound, win two million dollars, and, most importantly, gain the privilege of delving into the various sweet and spicy flavors of the next feast. If you are not careful, it is easy to spend upwards of $40. Simply going down the menu and ordering what sounds appetizing is dangerous. The food is the Drano in the pipe that is your wallet. This problem does not stem from overpriced food; instead it originates from large portion sizes. A large pork fried rice be a meal in its own right. I once ordered $30 worth of food which provided me with dinner that night, lunch the next day, and there was still rice left over to incorporate into that next day's dinner. If you are conscious of over ordering, you can get a very filling, flavorsome, and well-priced meal.
