    Was an unplanned visit. Was checking out a pawn shop on same block. Modern and clean décor. Menus is a little confusing at first glance. A revamp would be a plus. I ordered the Spicy Scallion stir fry lunch. Plenty of food for a leftover meal. The egg roll and crème cheese wonton were tasty and crispy. Not much dining space. Looks like the primary focus is pickup business. Will make it back again to try something new.

    Always hot and always a must visit when I go home to visit. You consistently have super friendly staff members and put out fantastic food. Great prices along with great food and super service....hard combination to beat. Thank you for being awesome Bamboo!

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps - also come with the crunchy noodles that you put in egg drop soup.

    This is one of the best Chinese places in Pittsburg. I often have the jr sweet & sour lunch special which is more than enough for me. It comes with the entree, rice, spring rolls, and a crab rangoon. Today I tried the lettuce wraps and that is my new favorite dish from there. I have never eaten in the actual store. My co-workers and I have it delivered when we eat Bamboo. That is also why I only gave it 4 stars. We often order 15-30 minutes prior to opening (11am) and it still takes an hour to get our food delivered most of the time. However, I once ordered a 5pm and it got delivered in 20 min. Odd but it is what it is. I do recommend this to family and friends. They also have a location in Joplin, MO. I will try and post a picture of my lettuce wraps with this post.

    Nicest restaurant in town! Lemon Tofu is vegan and gluten-free. The only reason it's not perfect? Styrofoam. Step up your game, friends!

    I moved 3 hours away. I complain to everyone here that there is isn't one place that is comparable…read moreto the quality and value of this place. I still go out of my way to stop by when I come pack for holidays and such. Yea, that's how much I love and miss this place! Fun fact: Back in college, me and all my roommates use to eat here twice a week.

    To begin with I went through the drive-thru, I asked many questions about the food and how I could…read moreorder it and what I could order as a combination and the responses were not legible, the menu for the drive-thru was totally unlegible you can't see the prices I have the menu is not even on there so the person that was working the window she was nice however not very informative and she did not take the order down right because the order I received was totally incorrect. The woman at the window it was the end of her shift and like I said she did not put my order in correctly so I had ordered spicy Mongolian beef I got plain Mongolian beef I ordered Chicken Fried rice, I got rice that looked like it had been burnt on the grill no little vegetables like peas and carrots or green onions in it I didn't see any eggs in it it looked like they took some chopped up chicken put some plain rice on the grill and it turned it brown that's what I got for chicken fried rice it's the worst I've ever had in any Chinese restaurant that I have ever been to. And as far as the Mongolian beef order went he got a bunch of rice it was supposed to be fried rice with his spicy Mongolian beef which as I stated previously was not spicy at all his rice was clumped together with chunks of plain white rice in it apparently they don't know what stir fried rice is. For $20 it was not worth $5 and then when I called to make a complaint about the food they told me that I had to bring all the food back in there to them and they could give me an order of Mongolian beef with a cup of spicy sauce to go on it. And they could replace the order with more fresh food. If the first order of food wasn't any good why, would I want to eat another order of your food? Customer service as far as getting a refund or resolving the issue was not there the little girl working at the counter had to go back and be the go between between me and the manager why could I not speak to the manager? I will never ever ever eat at Lotus Express again, and I will tell everyone that I know not to eat there. And as some people may know word of mouth about a restaurant food will make you or break you so that I hope that this post goes really wide and then I'm going to put pictures on here of the crappy food that they gave us. Do not eat at this Chinese restaurant that is my review. So you want to know what could improve? You can improve the management you can improve the food and you can improve the customer service mainly the food and how they handle complaints from customers. In my lifetime as I was in food management business for 30 years the customers always right because the customer is who pay your bills.

    My only downside here is they have carpet in the restaurant and idk, working at restaurants before…read moreI think it's a bit hard to keep clean. The food is really tasty, good portion sizes (big enough for leftovers), and they're really sweet in their service.

    I picked up a to go order tonight for my wife and me. I ordered the duck curry (red curry with…read moreduck). I don't mind spicy, if I'm feeling froggy I will ask for "Thai hot", but I wasn't feeling it tonight so I asked for 3 out of five stars. What I got was unpleasantly spicy with zero flavor - just heat, didn't even have any flavor of coconut milk. I make Thai curries regularly (it isn't hard - heat coconut oil, fry the curry paste, add meat, vegetables, coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, basil leaves and fresh lime). It's always a fight with the family over the spice level, because more curry paste means more flavor. What I got from Typhoon was not made with curry paste (if it was it would have had the flavor of Thai curry...) but it was NOT Thai curry. Maybe bad Chinese food pretending to be Thai? My wife had the Tom Yum Gai (soup). Very little chicken and worse flavor. She had diarrhea with an hour and a half. As a former restaurant owner I hate giving a bad review because I know how hard you work and how demoralizing it can be when you get a bad review from an, often as not, deranged customer having a bad day. But man this meal should be a crime. We ended up eating half and throwing out the rest. The server was pleasant, seemed like a nice kid.
