    Part of 1 section of the buffet line - looking at fried rice and Lo mein
    Fred B.

    I've been back to this spot several times since my last review, and have grown rather fond of a number of items on the large buffet. I have in fact become a fan due to the number of quality items I have tried, the good service (both from those working the line and those working the tabes), the overall cleanliness of the entire restaurant, and the pricing, which I feel provides good value. I have added several items to my growing list of dishes I like. My favorites remain: vegetable fried rice, vegetable Lo mein, and black pepper chicken. I have added Jalapeño chicken, Mongolian beef, roast chicken, and especially the hot and sour soup. I have also sampled the smoked sausage and the fried tilapia, in small amounts. I feel I will return on a regular basis, and sample more items, including the sushi. Ambiance - 4 Food - 4 Service -4.5 Value - 4

    My favorite Sushi Chef!

    This is a great buffet! In/Out in record time! Food is fresh! Everything is very clean! The staff is VERY kind & attentive! We have been here a few times in the last few months. Every time it has been predictably nice! The selection of dishes will please everyone in your group! I love sushi! He loves wings and the hibachi grill. We brought a friend and he loved the bbq ribs. We brought another friend and he loved the chicken and pork dishes. We have enjoyed every dish we tried! We are already planning our next visit with friends! Most Sincerely!

    My child loves a Chinese buffet and we have been meaning to try bamboo garden for a while. The restaurant is very spacious and bright, which can be the opposite at some buffets. All of the staff we encountered were super friendly and did a great job taking away dirty plates and refilling our drinks. Overall, the food was delicious. There were a few misses, but overall everything was flavorful and fresh. I like the make your own hibachi area. You could also make your own noodle soup so next time I will try it. They had a decent selection of freshly made sushi. The different Chinese dishes were good as well. I liked how clearly everything was labeled. We will definitely be back.

    Was pleasantly happy coming to this new buffet that is just two weeks old! Lots of room for improvement but when you take into account how new this place is, other AYCE options nearby, and the lackluster Asian food here, I think this place earns four stars with room to grow! Things I liked/loved: - Service was great! Friendly staff always around to clear plates, provide refills, bring checks, etc. Really appreciate that they weren't hovering or hawk-eyeing me either like at other places! - Cleanliness! I feel like the life of a buffet-restaurant can be determined by its cleanliness - clean tables, floors, bar areas. I hope it can stay this way! - Plenty of options! $15.99 elsewhere will get you one dish - here it lets you try a bite of everything! - Sushi chefs will make you a roll/plate if you request it! - Ice cream and dessert bar available! - Fried foods were great and didn't taste like they were straight out of a costco bag Things to improve: - The food itself was pretty hit or miss, which is typical for a buffet. Overall, I found most of the dishes I tried were majorly underseasoned - they need to hit these dishes with some soy and MSG on their way out! Specifically the fried rice, noodles, and mei fun! All of these were also oddly dry so maybe I caught them on a rough day. - Fried salt n pepper shrimp (I know I know I'm being picky) was cold and dry - maybe they can prepare smaller batches at a time so they're not sitting out Overall, this place has major potential if it can keep up the quality and especially keep it at this price range. Would highly recommend checking this place out and add it to your list of Asian staples here!

    I was driving around when I saw the now open flags around the business, so I called my girlfriend. I said, "I guess we're having dinner here tonight." Let me say, it did not disappoint. Everything was very delicious. Had good flavor. The ambiance was welcoming and inviting, adding to the overall dining experience. The service was also top-notch, with attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes

We were promptly greeted upon entering and shown to our table. The restaurant was about 75% full of other patrons and the dining room was clean and comfortable. Along with regular tables, there was limited seating at the sushi bar. As we began looking over the menu, our server made us aware of the lunch specials on the back page, which was greatly appreciated. I went with the Teriyaki Beef and my wife had the Hibachi Chicken. I chose the side salad with the house ginger dressing and my wife had the miso soup. Both of us went with white rice. Our sides came out pretty quick, and once we finished our sides, our entrees came out like clockwork. The Teriyaki Beef with accompanying vegetables tasted great, but I felt the portion size of both could have been larger. Still, it was a good value. Now, the portion size of the Hibachi Chicken with vegetables was much better, and it may be my choice next time. I want to mention that the sushi I saw being delivered to other tables looked pretty amazing, so the Hibachi Chicken may have to wait. Service was excellent throughout our visit. The only suggestion would be some soft background authentic Japanese music to add to the experience.

Hanes Mill Rd, this gem is housed in the same spot where the Hwy 55 burger joint was (I sure miss them). Parking is shared with other area merchants, and since it's quite a distance from Walmart's entrance, finding a space is not a problem. The restaurant is well-lit, comfortable and clean. We were promptly greeted and shown to a table. The menu had a great selection of ramen, bento, and sushi. While I was leaning towards sushi, I opted for the chicken katsu bento. The food came out quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size. Definitely a good value in my opinion. The only disappointment was their take on fried rice, which seemed more like a dirty rice you would get at Popeye's. Honestly, I think white rice would have been a better pairing for this dish. Great service throughout our visit and we're keeping this one on the short list.

The teller line was in about the same spot as our table so a lot of memories flooded back. The atmosphere is definitely not bank-like - lots of large windows, black lacquer, sleek and modern but with colorful, timeless Thai accents. I decided to order the Chicken Lettuce Wrap starter as my entree. I could have sworn I made a photo but apparently I did not. The wraps came with a sweet and sour sauce. They were good (there were 5 or 6 and I ate all but one!) but the consistency of the chicken was not my favorite (finely ground, almost gritty) and they were a bit bland without the sauce. I was in a party of 11 and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Service was helpful and friendly. Gratuity was added to the bill due to the size of our party. I would come here again!

The Yellowfin Poke, another good choice for us, a decent serving of succulent tuna with seaweed and a lite coating of seasame oil tossed with some seeds. The California roll was classically prepared and true to type. A decent roll with nice flavor and proportions. The Shrimp with mushrooms and broccoli, again a decent portion with lots of tender whole shrimp, sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli. This is a good meal as well, nicely prepared and good flavor. Then for dessert, we tried the Tempura fried Cheesecake, a decadent treat and interesting twist to cheesecake. Batter dipped and flash fried to golden brown, with a chocolate drizzle.
