    Lemon chicken with fried rice to go
    Doretta W.

    I ordered delivery via GrubHub. Pleasantly surprised it was fast and still hot when I received the order. The lemon chicken had a crispy coating and a good lemon sauce (not too sweet). The chicken was a little dry but the flavor was good. The pork fried rice was very traditional... yum! The rice was a little dry but overall the taste was solid. The potstickers were packed and cooked correctly.

    Bamboo is a staple Chinese spot I go to when in the SATX area! The General Tso's is always portioned on the heavier side but this time around they didn't give as much of the portions. I do always ask to make it spicy but they don't seem to make it spicy at all, they can definitely improve in that area. The Rangoons are usually fresh, I think I've only ordered once when they were not and were over fried.

    Stopped by for lunch and had the lemon chicken -- absolutely a 10/10! Parking is a bit limited, but the delicious food and great service more than make up for it.

    They have lunch specials everyday. Our waitress was nice and friendly. I ordered the Lemon chicken plate with fried rice. I'll be back to try some more of there lunch specials.

    Great lunch spot. The food and boba drinks are always great, and the service is welcoming. The inside is cute and there's a bar definitely recommend.

    Sesame chicken with Lo Mein Noodles

    Came here last night because I was craving chinese food and this choose this place because it's nearby and they have good prices, and open late I got the sesame chicken with lo mein and my boyfriend got the lemon chicken. We also both added on the cheese rangoons and those were probably my favorite part of the whole meal I could have eaten like 10 of those alone. All around we both enjoyed both of our meals. Service was great! The girls at the register both were very nice and helpful. I didn't know what kind of drink to get so they gave me a drink to try the lavender green tea and omg was so good. A little bit sweet but still great. Ambiance was nice, I didn't eat inside I ordered to go so I didn't get to see the whole inside but front was nice:)

    Our friends have mentioned this was a good Chinese restaurant and coincidentally I actually won a giveaway from their Instagram post. We came to collect the tickets and eat there too with our friends. It was a small wait because there was only one server on the floor but it was SO WORTH IT. The AC still wasn't working which was alright they had LOTS of fans going. We got a starter of pork rolls (6) and I had gotten the General Tso's plate with plain lo mien noodles. The portions are BIG! They also provide hot chili oil if you ask. I had enough left over to take for lunch the next day. Three staff is so nice. This is a great hole in the wall. Definitely would recommend.

    Sesame tofu

    I have ordered from Bamboo before and had a good experience. Tonight not so though. Ordered sesame tofu with cheese Rangoon and yellow curry tofu plus an order of veggie spring rolls. We were missing the cheese Rangoon and part of the veggie spring rolls order. Neither the sesame tofu or yellow curry tofu had any flavor or spice and the sauces were thin and watery. Definitely not a good experience. Not sure what was going on tonight but I will hesitate to try again

    Excited to try. Was not so good though. Got the chicken friend rice. Which was basically greasy rice with crumbs of chicken. The egg roll was ok but can tell it was fried in dirty oil. Unfortunately was not good and you definitely need like those grease removing pads for your whole body afterwards.

    Great food! First time here. Tried a little of everything. The fried dumplings and honey cilantro wings were AMAZING. Spicy egg drop soup had some kick! Main meals: Szechuan beef and sesame chicken were the favs!

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot. I felt my pot in particular, was over-loaded with huge chunks of veggies that could have been better chopped as to be more manageable.

It was the in between time of late lunch 2:30-3pm so we thought we would miss the Sunday afternoon church rush. The parking lot and restaurant was full but didn't let it scare us. Only had to wait 5 mins. Don't let the full restaurant fool you. The wait staff checks in often and moves tables very fast. Pro tip- you can hang outside and check out the koi fish in the pond to kill some time Sat down and drinks came out fast ordered dim sum which came out in the cute steam baskets first. Shrimp Shumai and pork bao buns were so good. My kids asked for seconds We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken, spicy eggplant/tofu, shrimp& broccoli and the combination fried rice. Everything was perfectly seasoned with the exception of the sweet and sour chicken. It was very bland. Next time I want to order the orange peel chicken instead. Looked good and now we know! So much food we'll have leftovers for a few days. Score!

When you walk in up to the restaurant, the view of ponds with large koi fish was very welcoming, however as soon as you open the door/walk in...it's a chaos of sports on tv and western music that will burst your burst your tranquility from the front of the restaurant. The restaurant was busy since it was lunch. We were seated right away. However it took the waitress a few before knowledge our small table. The waitress was in a hurry and look like she already had a bad day. She asked quickly what we would like the drink and we said water and hot tea but ask what type of tea they have? She mumble something I could not understand. So my daughter ask for green tea. We started off with appetizer as usual. Shrimp toast, chicken wrap, Asian bbq ribs then a cup of hot & sour soup. Main dish were Moo Shu Pork and Mongolian beef. Soup came out first...it was lukewarm. Cup was hot but soup was lukewarm. It was vinegary and salty. This is the first time I had seen/tasted imitation crab meat in a hot and sour soup. I'd flag the waitress down to let her know the soup was cold and if she can bring me another or warm it up for me. She gave me an annoying look and took the soup back to the kitchen. The Asian bbq ribs come out then the shrimp toast a few minutes later. The shrimp toast looks appealing. The shrimp were whole shrimp on top of bread, fried bread. It was ok...no real taste and a bit greasy. There were too much honey and chewy/tough for the Asian ribs. My soup comes back hot to touch... which means it was microwave...but not an issues; what was is ...it was still lukewarm soup. I try to finish it but couldn't. Soup needs to be hot; especially hot & sour soup. The chicken lettuce wrap was delivered. It was again salty; no real taste, except for the salt. A lot of mushrooms over powering the this dish. Keep in mind we had a small table and dishes are pilling up. It took a few before anyone came to pickup the plates. Half way through our appetizer, the waitress dropped off Togo boxes with a bag right after the chicken wrap was dropped off.... Staying it's for later. So we went ahead and packup the appetizers into the Togo boxes to make room. The main dishes came out about 10 minutes later. My daughter was very surprised by her Mongolian beef. It looks more like pepper steak then Mongolian beef. Most Mongolian beef are cook with green onions, yellow onion, garlic, sesame seeds and large slices of beef...some with a little sauce other dry so this is a the first for us to see a Mongolian beef looks like that. It was again too salty. There was more bell pepper than beef. The beef was slice small. The moo shu pork come out already wrap?? Which confuse me. Most of the time the thin rice pancake is on the side and moo shu pork is a little sweet and savory that comes with plum sauce so you can spread as little or lot of plum sauce into the rice pancake then top it off with moo shu pork. Since it was all roll up...it was very messy trying to pull it open to put the plum sauce. The dish lack favors...it had a char like taste. Usually moo shu pork is very flavorful and fill with flavorful juice from the ingredients like cabbages, bamboo, onion, mushrooms and eggs. There was no favor except a char taste. I have eaten here before a long time ago and it's definitely not the same taste/food and experience. We pack the food home so we can get a second opinion from other family members and the results were the same. I would never recommend for anyone looking for Asian cuisine. But if you like America/Asian cuisine/atmosphere then this is a place for you.
