I drive past this restaurant daily every morning when I drop my daughter off at the college. Since it was her last day, we decided to go there for lunch. To get there was kind of tricky, they share a lot with another business and will have to drive into their lot. Big restaurant, huge portion even for lunch specials. Costs under $10, and we decided to order the big eggrolls. That's the popular dish here. There's 1 person working the front, sweet lady. Might be family owned and run business. Spacious restaurant, we sat in the booths. read more

The egg drop soup appears to be made completely of egg yolks and no broth. Disgusting. They should call raw egg yolk soup. read more

Update, Despite the crazy construction and difficult exits of off Hwy 10 over the past years, this place is still churning out delicious food! Had my favorite Hot Spicy Mock Duck that never disappoints as a satisfying vegetarian dish ( they agreed to take out the fish sauce to keep it vegan). This dish with the side chili oil and some hot tea makes a tummy very happy. Also tried the Broccoli dish with Tofu. Also tasted great, a lot of broccoli and carrots and some onions sprinkled in Server was very attentive and checked in to make sure all was well. This is a stand alone building with an attached parking lot Anyone in the north metro craving classic old school Vietnamese, this is your place ! read more

Pretty decent little spot for a wide range of Asian cuisine. They are probably most known locally for having egg rolls that are semi-comparable to Que Viet - although definitely not nearly that good. The wontons are definitely some of the best around however, and you can never go wrong with that! We've had the Pho, Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, and a few other items - all have been fairly good but definitely not the very best out there! However, you could do a lot worse in satisfying your Asian cravings. read more

We have been coming here for years. We tried their egg foo young for the first time and OMG! Why did we wait? We knew their egg rolls were amazing but now have a second favorite! We all agreed that the egg foo young was the best we've ever had! It is deep, maybe 2+ inches and dense. And while not sure it seems to be baked in a pan. Lots of veggies and pork ( our order). The sauce is equally exceptional rich and has a smoky undertone. So good! read more

I have been driving by Bamboo Village for years, never knowing what I have been missing out on! The service was great and the food was even better! the best egg rolls I have ever eaten! I would strongly recommend this hidden gem to anyone in the area. I will definitely be back! read more

We ordered: Que Viet eggs rolls Chicken wings Mongolian beef Pad Thai Bangkok shrimp and scallops The person who took our order was great! Delivery was fast. Order was accurate. But....food was not good. The egg rolls were very dark brown on the inside and tasted nothing like Que Viet egg rolls. Pad Thai looks like it had a good dousing of ketchup. It was extremely red in color and unappetizing and therefore did not get eaten. Mongolian beef was exceedingly sweet and saucy. VERY sweet. The Bangkok shrimp and scallops were decent. Scallops were HUGE. A LOT of lemons in the dish. Chicken wings were the best thing--tasty and crispy. Very disappointed for $90+. read more

First try ordering food from here and dang, not good. I took 1 bite of the egg roll and threw it away. Spent $50 and ate 10% of my food. It was so bad I threw it all away. The only good thing about it was the white rice. Also, the gentleman that dropped off the food kept banging on my door and spamming the door bell after I said leave at the door. The food was mushy and very bland. You would think that honey walnut shrimp would have a white creamier color to it but it looked like it was covered in honey mustard. read more

After trying a couple other Chinese restaurants in the area, I wasn't expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the dishes we have had from Bamboo Village. We ordered take out a couple weeks ago and my husband and I were both very happy with our food (Singapore noodles, seafood chow fun, viet egg rolls, and egg drop soup). This time, we decided to eat at the restaurant and ordered different meals to see if we were still happy with our new "go-to" place. We were!!! We ordered dumplings, spicy green beans, Phoenix Dragon, and Beef and scallops. We loved every bite. The food was seasoned properly and tasted even better than we thought it would. We are so happy to have found a Chinese restaurant that knows how to use flavor in this area! read more

The food was not what I expected all. I got the egg foo young and my kids the sesame chicken. The egg foo young was shaped more like meat balls, & had generic peas & carrots in it, but no onions at all. Even the white rice, sesame chicken, and egg rolls were disgusting. We spent over $50, and I didn't enjoy any of it. Never again! read more

Subpar - 2 stars. It's been 9 years since I've been to Bamboo Village. I was SO hungry...and I was SO excited...and I was SO disappointed! Unfortunately, sometime in the past decade these guys have gone from average to below average. GOOD: 1. The food is very inexpensive, especially considering recent rampant inflation. 2. My server was excellent, doing a great job despite being the only person on the floor. 3. The restaurant looks nice and modern. 4. The dining room seems to be pretty clean. BAD: 1. My tea was the usual cheap tea in a bag. It had a weird soapy smell that I could also taste. I'm not sure if it was the cup or the tea itself. Whatever the case - ew! 2. My Viet egg rolls were great 9 years ago, completely different now. They have the same wonderful crispy crust. But the inside is some weird mash or mix or hash or whatever. It was dark brown, obviously loaded down with lots of soy sauce to make is passable. Definitely a downgrade. 3. My chicken curry looked beautiful with a generous quantity of food. But the chicken had the distinctive flavor or having "turned" or "rot" or "decomp" or if you're a biology dude (like me) the distinct flavor of "putrescine". I've been feeling like crap ever since I came home. Someone from Anoka County should definitely make a spot inspection to investigate safe food handling practices in the back kitchen. 4. It was busy as hell for dinner but there was only 1 person working her ass off trying to keep up. On top of that, I watched complete chaos when the computer went down during my dinner. Understaffed - not cool. 5. Lots of messy tables not cleared off throughout (see photo). Weird. 6. The back corner is a disturbing storage and cleaning supply area (see photo). Put up a wall or something. The cheap little folding room divider doesn't cut it. Tacky. RECOMMENDATIONS: If you want to visit an excellent Asian restaurant that's only 5 minutes away, I highly recommend Ginger Café. If you're willing to drive 15 minutes to the big mall area in Coon Rapids, Ichiddo Ramen, Kyoto Sushi, and Osaka (a chain restaurant) are all good. These are different styles of Asian food but they're light years ahead of Bamboo Village. -Maxx read more

This place is very clean, service is excellent and the food is exceptional. Large servings at lunch and dinner. Egg rolls are delicious

Decided to give them a other chance after they nearly burnt my "SIGNATURE" Viet Egg roll the last time Even gave 20% tip as incentive to get order right. Was surprised to see there now an addition charge for "extra" fish sauce, needed for Que Viet roll, but requested 2 to be sure there was enough. HUGE disappointment to get home with the 6 entrees and 6 or so appetizers and find there was NO, NADA, Nicht, NOT A SINGLE DROP of fish sauce, neither the "extra" bought and paid for nor what shod have come as part of the appetizer!! . So much for leaving a generous tip and still only get screwed on the order. Then only getting TWO fortune cookies after dropping a $ C note on what turns out to be an incomplete order was fitting,. OH and the "SIGNATURE" Viet roll was burnt to nearly being inedible AGAIN AND this time with NO fish sauce to help choke it down. Wished there was a place near by which could make "proper" Viet rolls with real fish sauce..... read more

I do not care at all what anyone says about the eggs rolls. They're fantastic. It's essentially an egg roll burrito. You get two for what is an absolutely fair price and honestly if you eat them both you're gonna have an over stretched tummy. As far as everything else on the menu goes it's good. I wouldn't complain about it at all but I'm not going to send a friend because of the lo mein, I'm gonna send them here for those damn egg rolls. Also their cream cheese wantons are great but I haven't had them in awhile because I literally will hurt myself to consume both the egg rolls. read more

The sign claimed to sell Que Viet egg rolls so we picked up a couple along with pot stickers. As a frequent diner at Que Viet, I was excited. When we got home, we could not be more disappointed. The filling in both were unrecognizable. It was basically deep fried sausage rolls and nuggets. I'm ending the review now because I don't want to spend anymore time thinking about how these were made. The only thing Que Viet about these egg rolls is the name. I've had better egg rolls from Trader Joe's. read more

We love this place! The low reviews must be old or extremely unhappy people. We typically order their Egg rolls (phenomenol), sesame chicken, lo main, fried rice, Mongolian beef. Everything is good!

$61 spent here tonight and it was terrible. My husband called in the order to pick up at 6pm. Our order of $5 hot & sour soup was completely missing from the bag. The egg rolls were overcooked and gross. The person taking the order was rude and could care less if we ordered from the business. We have eaten here many times but we will no longer be ordering from Bamboo Village. read more

Rice noodle salad with "Viet" eggrolls for lunch. Here's what I received: Two cups of mushy rice noodles, two cups of vinegar water, two shreds of wet lettuce, and an egg roll cut in half. $8.95 for $0.75 worth of ingredients. If this was supposed to resemble traditional vietnamese rice noodle salad, someone needs to go to cooking school. So disappointed. read more

Does NOT have Que Viet egg rolls! Bamboo Village claims to serve Que Viet egg rolls. I work by the actual Que Viet restaurant in NE Mpls and am obsessed with their egg rolls so when I saw that this place claimed to have them by my house in Anoka and Coon Rapids, I was thrilled. Unfortunately, they are NOTHING like the real thing. I came to find out that the owners of Que Viet have involved lawyers and asked Bamboo Village to take their signs down but he refuses. Also, the Coon Rapids location does not answer their phone if they're too busy (what?!) which forced us to go to Anoka and they got our order wrong the first time. Very mediocre food at best. Don't waste your time. read more

We ordered $50 worth of food. It took 2 hours to get here. We called an hour in to get an ETA on the food. We even offered to go pick the food up by ourselves but were told it would be there shortly. When we called again, we asked for a refund but were told no. The food arrived cold, it looked disgusting, and tasted terrible. When I called back, I was told the manager was not there. Do not waste your money here. read more

My friend invited me to bamboo Village at Anoka to have a dinner together last Sunday. He is a regular there and I was first time. We ordered Que Viet egg rolls, cheese wontons, pho soup and house egg foo young. The egg rolls were phenomenal, cheese wontons had a lot of cheese in it(not like most places only tiny little bit cheese in it) pho soup tasted great but not oily and egg foo young big and lots gravy just the way I like it. This bamboo Village is on my most favored Chinese restaurant list now. read more

I new from past experience this was not going to be great in fact it was the worst so I decided to warn everybody of the 4 entrees we ordered for takeout 3 were un eatable the spicy chicken with onions tasted like it was precooked and had been sitting in the fridge for awhile the pad tai was red and overcooked and was thrown in the garbage and my wife's walnut shrimp hand some weird yellow sauce on it usually white she said it wasn't good we won't be back if I could give it a zero I would and we did get the egg rolls and as stated from a previous review like a sausage! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! read more

Que Viet egg rolls. Enough said. HOWEVER, I'll say more. I got a lunch order of Sesame Chicken or something to go, and I thought it was pretty decent for the price and for being "junk" chinese. No complaints. read more

Very "Americanized" Chinese food. The QueViet egg rolls are VERY good (although they could have been hotter temperature-wise). The sauce was thin and a perfect compliment to the egg rolls. We ordered steamed dumplings as well. The filling was very bland, but a generous helping of pork inside each one. The dipping sauce (garlic-hoisin style) was perfect to "jazz up" the taste to each person's level. The serving size was plentiful. If you finish it, you will be full. The beef with broccoli had VERY nice pieces of fresh broccoli, and the beef was tender and not very fatty at all. The Kung Pao chicken had lots of fresh veggies, and the chunks of chicken were also perfectly cooked, very tender. In general, though, the sauces over the food was a little "thick" and similar in taste. The fried rice was well done. Nothing special, but it hit the mark of an "American" fried rice. (again, the portion was sizable) The cheese wontons were crispy, and a tasty creamy filling. These, and the rest of our meals, were piping hot, so I'm guessing that the egg rolls must have been a one-time error. One key point: The service was EXCELLENT. We greeted by a very friendly lady, who consistently checked back with us, made sure drinks were full, asked if the food was ok, was willing to adjust the "spice" level in my kung pao after I had tasted it. You really can't do better than this place for service. Many restaurants could learn something from watching how this place treats their customers. read more

After passing by Bamboo Village everyday me an my wife decided to try this place out. There's a sign that say "We now have Que Viet Egg rolls" Coming from California I would expect myself to know what it is since theres a big population of Vietnamese but I had no clue what it was. I knew it was an egg roll. But anyways we ordered the que Viet egg rolls, crispy chicken and beef chow fun. 1- The crispy chicken was entirely way too sweet! It was like eating straight sugar. I only had one bite and I was done. GROSS! 2- Que Viet Egg rolls and the beef chow fun was okay. There was nothing fancy about it. 3- It would be nice it they served fresh water instead of tap water. GROSS! read more

Horrible service and rude woman taking orders I called way ahead with our order and they were not even busy, took 40 minutes for tak ourt!!!! The egg rolls were burnt and greasy I asked once what the hold up was and she screamed at me and never once apologized Expensive and sub par food I won't go back read more

Food was fine but just terrible service. Everything that woman touched was a disaster. She turned in 2 of the 3 orders from our table. Feigned to not understand English. The table next door had the wrong dish served. A man came in for take out, then soon came back in to return the wrong order. A 10 year old was in charge of cleaning tables and sprayed cleaner all over the water pitcher, napkins and to go containers. The next time we come in if that woman is working, we'll definitely turn right around. - These people that review with 5 stars, either they don't understand the "star" system or they're friends and family members of the owners. Shouldn't 5 Stars be reserved for the Murray's or Ruth's Chris's of the world? - Include YOUNG JONI too. read more

They should be ashamed in serving & delivering food that awful. I literally dumped it all back in the bag and am waiting for my refund! Nearly burned cream cheese puffs, cold egg rolls, dry stringy chunks of general tsaos chicken that had gelatinous gooey sauce, undercooked grayish in spots shrimp in our shrimp rice. All after I implicitly expressed that I wanted our food made fresh because we have been disappointed before. We are going hungry tonight because this goes WELL beyond disappointing. Those orders need to be checked for QUALITY BEFORE GOING OUT THE DOOR! Do not order on Wednesday! read more

The egg-rolls for this place is pretty tasty. I actually really enjoy it. Not the best or most amazing, but stuffed with juicy meat and it is really satisfying. Will go back again just for that. Other items on the menu are marginal. Overall, descent option for the area. read more

The Coon Rapids site was awesome before they shut it down. Tonight I ordered the same meal at the Anoka site that I had at Coon Rapids for years. The egg rolls were terrible and the hot and spicy chicken meal was cold. In addition, they said it would be 25 minutes for pick up and it ended up being almost an hour (with only a few tables too). I'll never go there again. read more

Sadly, I believe its under new ownership. I loved this restaurant and their egg rolls so much, I kept going back. The past 3 times the egg rolls have been cold, dried out and (hard to believe) not good! The last time I went with group of friends and they brought it up first that the food just was not as good and normally we have a couple order of egg rolls, but not this time. Once was a must stop at restaurant ..just now makes me sad read more

Ugh, why can't I get a negative # for places like this? This place used to be the greatest around, but was sold out to people who are clueless on how to make Asian food. It is overly bland, pasty gross taste on everything. Egg roles should be crisp on the outside, not all the way through and black on the outside. Garlic beef might as well have been boiled beef. Tough, no garlic and watery. Will never return read more

Food taste/quality has a range from ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY horrible-Mediocre. Bad quality chicken, overly sweetened dishes and luke warm temp (if we're lucky!). They USED to be awesome some years back. I have no idea what happened. Delivery experience: I ordered $60 worth of food. Each time we've ordered prior to this, their food quality has gone down a little bit. Now it has hit rock bottom! They forgot my noodles for my seafood dish. I called them and requested it to be sent out. (I live 4 minutes away, no joke.) Over an hour later, I still didn't have the noodles! I called to request a refund and the receptionist refused. I ended up getting it about 2 hours later, after they closed the restaurant. Are you kidding me?! Will NEVER go here again!!!! I'll go the extra distance and get takeout from 5 Spice restaurant! Way better quality and ingredients!!! read more

The food here used to be good. Two words -- new management! Such a shame too!!! They apparently are trying to make more money by decreasing the portions -- bad idea when you have an already established clientele. And the flavors just aren't there!!!! Too bad.
