Absolutely love this place--the food is always incredibly fresh and consistently delicious. It's hands down my favorite Chinese food in Greenwich. Everything I've ordered has been amazing, and I honestly don't understand how the rating is so low. The service is super fast, and while I usually do takeout, the inside looks very clean and well kept. The General Tso's chicken is outstanding, and I also love the lo mein. Unlike so many other Chinese spots in Greenwich, the food here isn't greasy at all, which makes such a difference. I can't recommend this place enough--I'm constantly telling everyone about it. And if you were a fan of Oriental Gourmet in Old Greenwich, this is the closest Chinese food I've found to them. read more

My family has been to Bambou a few times, and we always enjoy our visits! When the weather's nice, the outdoor patio seating is especially pleasant. Over past visits, I've ordered the mango & jicama salad, mixed greens salad, seaweed salad, satay chicken, salmon avocado roll, and yellowtail scallion roll, and have also shared the wonton soup, spicy scallop roll, and Philadelphia roll. The mango & jicama salad is light and refreshing, the seaweed salad is standard, but I prefer the mixed greens salad -- it feels a bit more substantial and includes jicama, tomatoes, carrots, and a tasty peanut dressing. The satay chicken was solid and true to its name, though a bit oily for my taste. The wonton soup had a nice balance of filling to wrapper and was comforting. Both the salmon avocado roll and yellowtail scallion roll were fresh with a good fish-to-rice ratio. The yellowtail scallion roll wasn't rolled tightly enough, so it fell apart a little, but it still tasted great. The spicy scallop roll came mixed, which isn't my personal preference, and the Philadelphia roll was about what you'd expect. Overall, my favorites are the mixed greens salad, salmon avocado roll, and yellowtail scallion roll. I plan to stick with those three next time! read more

Great food and reasonable prices, but what strikes me most is how kind and accommodating they are. This time, it was lunch for my Moms 91st. They doted on her, bright her an ice cream sundae with a candle and comped her dish. I cannot tell you how nice that was. Bravo!!! read more

You will not be disappointed! Everything is great here. Service, ambience, and of course, the food. Lunch specials are very reasonable and it is a beautiful setting indoors and outdoors. Quality seems to be very high. Great variety on the menu. Something for everyone. Great parking enhances the overall low stress experience! read more

Bambou - Creating sushi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Greenwich, Connecticut

The sushi is always very fresh and delish, they must have experienced and well-qualified Sushi chefs working their kitchen. It's a very nice location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, The people are always very nice and friendly. There is also a spacious patio outside for dining which is nicely decorated along with the indoor dining area. The one thing they can improve is that the beer glasses often smell like fish... I assume they go into the dishwasher along with the sushi plates and that is the result, so I drink my beer out of the bottle when I go there. read more

Meeting up with a friend for lunch and I made it very clear that I did not want to be the one to decide on a place, especially since we weren't going to be in my neighborhood. After the usual song and dance when no one wants to make the final decision, "Do you have a taste for anything?...what area would you prefer?...what are you hungry for?", the recommendation was made to get sushi from Bambou. And off we went. Ambiance Clean, simple, small booths, bigger tables, inside seating, outside seating (weather permitting). We went fairly early in the day so there was tons of natural lighting as well as some calm, dim lighting on the inside. Service Quick, kind, attentive...the holy trinity. They're not hovering over you but they are definitely not hard to find or get their attention if you need something. Food So...the order was rather extensive so I'll try to give you the "long story less long" version. Forgive me if I don't remember every single item and if i don't have a picture... - Crab Rangoon: banging! Crispy outer shell, with the soft cheesy interior - Rock Shrimp Tempura: amazing flavor, crunchy texture - Chicken & Pork Dumplings: standard pot stickerish dumpling. Good overall flavor. Solid choice - BBQ Spare Ribs: not what I was expecting. Thought it would have been the little ribletts that places often try to pass for "appetizer ribs." Nope! These were full sized, glazed, and perfectly cooked ribs! - Wild Ginger Roll, Rainbow Roll, Tiger Roll, Broiled Miso Cod Roll: *apologies in advance* so I grouped these all together because I don't remember the exact taste for each roll BUT I can give you some of my thought while eating... "Oh wow. That's really good" "The crunch on this one gives it a nice contract in the textures" "Whoa! Is that jalapeño?" "THIS ONE HAS ROE ON IT!!!" "Ooooouuuuu it's a little spicy...I LIKE IT!" - Coco Mojito: the name was too tempting not to try...and it didn't disappoint. Coco flavor, hints of mint, fizzy, refreshing mojito. Can't ask for much more than that. Overall I don't often try new sushi restaurants because it doesn't always turn out well for me, but I couldn't be happier that I found Bambou. Great food, great service, chill/calm vibe, doesn't kill my pockets, AND there's a parking lot! Now even though I've only been there for lunch, I can totally see me and the Mrs having a date night here. Until we meet again Bambou... read more

Set at a renovated old Mill, this restaurant is a surprising and authentic find. If you get a table outside, you can get a view of the review that runs through. Otherwise, the view and experience outside is that of the Mill's architecture and brick. I was really overwhelmed by the menu, and tried a variety of items. Among them, a salad, the sambal entree (comes with a small portion of white rice) and the singaporean noodles. The mochi is a great dish to share. Usually when I see extensive menus with varying cuisines, I question the quality. I was surprised that everything - from the Japanese to the Singaporean - was delicious and met my standards. I did not love the beef satay - meat was slightly overcooked and the sauce wasn't the thick peanut sauce I'm used to. The service, especially towards the end of the night as they are closing is the reason I knocked one star down. It's not a high attentive quality, and I had to ask a lot of clarifying questions (especially about their specials). They were friendly though. Parking is strange, so be mindful of the multiple entrances and not clear signage. read more

The staff and quality of food at Bambou is exceptional! The team greets me loyally every time I walk in. I know the Bambou famiily by name and they know me. It's my kitchen away from kitchen per se. Bravo and 5 stars. This is a hidden gem. read more

Two years since my last review-- and even with Covid, nothing has changed except that the outdoor seating is now covered and heated... Bambou remains our favorite restaurant in Greenwich, and when we were here last night, all five of us were trading bites and delights until we were so stuffed we could barely make it home! The Halloween Roll is back, and we highly recommend the Eggplant and Shrimp in garlic sauce, the beef satay and-- of course-- the "Mom Rules Roll." A new favorite last night (in addition to fried shrimp gyoza dumplings, our constant favorite of the Blue Crab Avocado appetizer, the crab rangoon, the Salmon Samba, etc etc) was the special appetizer of spicy tuna on wasabi wheat crackers. Wow! Sooo good! Honestly, even the kids were all asking if we can get back again before the visit is over, and we're only here this time for three days! I would eat here every day if I could-- they're THAT good! YUM!! read more

Amazingggggg food. We love this restaurant since 2011 when we went there for the first time.

It was a beautiful night to sit on the patio! Have been here a few times and it's always been good, but nothing to bring us back more than once every couple of years. Both Summer Roll and Eel Avocado roll were good. Veg Tempura Roll was very good. Service was good and food came out quickly. read more

Usually our go-to place for sushi in Glenville. Consistently fresh good food. This evening, my wife were astonished to hear loud profanity-filled music playing. This was at 6:00 and several families with children were in the restaurant. We mentioned to a waiter how inappropriate the music was, but he ignored us. Finally told the manager as we were leaving, and she changed to a country music station. Ruined the evening. read more

My first time at Bambou. All I can say is "it's about time!" The food was truly delicious and as good or better than comparable restaurants in nyc. I ordered the "Miso Chilean Seabass with sautéed bok choy and jicama, shitake mushroom with yuzu miso glazed" and it was excellent. Priced at 26$ plus tax, the portion size was a good value. Doubt I could make it at home for the same price. The sauce was placed in a small container on the side, which was great, so you could tailor it to your taste or omit it entirely. The only minor disappointment was the brown rice, it was over cooked. But the main dish was so good, it didn't matter. read more

We had a great family celebration on the outside patio at Bambou last night. We were a large party and might have expected some bumps, but it was a great night all around and a huge compliment to the staff. Service was terrific. Friendly, accommodating and got EVERYTHING right. And the food was delicious and came out so quickly for such a large group on a busy night. Can't say enough - the Bambou team made our special occasion that much more special.... read more

This has become our "go to" place with our daughter,Son-in-law and granddaughter, all plant based vegans. Food is amazing, great service. We like the outside dining over the smaller inside space. Very worth a visit. Only 4 stars because of inside dining. read more

Horrible. Food taste is disgusting and unless you want to be in the bathroom for 3 hours, never will recommend. Service is very long as well and garbagey. read more

Great local place. Sushi and rolls always fresh and delicious. Nice lunch special during the week. Service is friendly. In the summer nice outdoor sitting area. We have dined in as well as orders delivery and always happy with our food. read more

People are rude. Pick up orders take forever. Had a number of bad experiences between picking up food and waiting almost forty minutes inside the waiting area after they were rude. The end result was they misunderstood me and my food was sitting there getting cold while five or six other people walked in to get their orders. read more

Great quality for their Sushi Rolls. We can only get delivery and they have the best Sesame Noodles too! read more

While the sushi and the rest of the meals my family ordered for takeout/pickup on 8/9/20 all tasted great, I believe I got food poisoning from the sushi. I was the only one in my family to eat sushi, and I have been suffering with extreme gastrointestinal sickness, with body aches, headache, and a low grade fever included. I did not eat anything before or after that likely would have caused this. I had an eel avocado roll and Mexican roll (spicy tuna) I am updating my review about a week later now as I am positive for Campylobacter bacteria after suffering from horrible diarrhea, pain, and fever for days. No one else in my family is sick. Just beware before eating from here, it is no coincidence I started becoming very sick ~3 days after eating. read more

Folks, the food here is good, and the presentation is very pretty... BUT: The service is almost comedically bad. Like, Dane Cook in Waiting bad. I will preface this by saying, I've only been to the place one time, but I'm not coming back to double check. We arrived late, but not particularly late... We arrived around an hour and a half before they close, at 830ish. There were only a few other diners there, but the staff was visibly rushed and stressed; unless someone had just been murdered in the back and they were trying to figure out what to do with the body, it felt like an overreaction. My entree came out around 10 minutes before my partner's, which is a tiny miss we both didn't pay much attention to... We enjoyed the meal and when we were asked whether we wanted dessert, around 15 minutes before the location closed, we agreed. 15 minutes after that, we had to grab the waiter while he was sweeping to ask him if the kitchen had closed, and whether we could still get that dessert menu we'd asked for; when he finally brought it, we ordered dessert immediately and asked for the check to come out with it. I've worked food service, and I don't mind some idiosyncrasies. The brandy they brought with dessert was brought in a mug. A FULL mug... I'm not complaining about extra liquor, but who brings someone a MUG of brandy unless we're pirates and you're about to amputate my leg after a sea battle? That said, when the dessert finally arrived (HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE PLACE CLOSED), it was because we asked for it to be removed from the check so we could please just pay and leave. The tiramisu was, for some mad reason, garnished with cherry tomatoes. It was also frozen solid, like ice-crystal-crunch, arctic-winter, yeti-delight frozen. The other dessert was something entirely different than what we ordered and, while beautiful looking, also removed from a freezer with the haste of after thought. Jesus folks, if you want to close down early, tell me the kitchen is closed and don't offer me dessert! This was uncomfortable as anything, and we both just wanted to leave. To the couple who was still there after we'd left: we're sending help. Hang in there, a SWAT team and a hostage negotiator are on the way. We'll get you out eventually. read more

Going out to dinner is supposed to be a little treat. Relaxing, being served food you might not make at home. Being pampered a bit. Well our dinner at Bamboo was anything but. We were seated quickly and the waitress promptly took our drink order. We asked for water and after they brought that, she took our order. Then things started going wrong. They brought my wife's appetizer before we even got our drinks. When she brought the drinks, my "martini with an olive" had no olive. No garnish at all. Odd. Then they brought my wife's dinner salad. After a while they brought my entree, seemingly forgetting about the appetizer I ordered. The food was good and after we finished they cleared the plates. Then they forgot about us. I even started a timer because it was taking so long. No one checked on us for the next 28 minutes! We had no water and no drinks all that time. It was only when my wife stopped another waitress and asked for the bill, that they acknowledged us. Of course, the phantom appetizer was on the bill. When I pointed out that and complained about being forgotten, I got lots of apologies and they comped the appetizer BUT I'll not be going back. There is another Excellent sushi restaurant recently opened in Greenwich which will get my future patronage. read more

This place always messes up take out orders. It's incredible how they get to many things wrong. Ask for a roll with the seaweed on the outside and it's 50/50 whether it will be that way. Ask for extra ginger dressing and you'll get one tiny cup. Plus, they sometimes forget part of the order. Management: if you're reading this- get it together already. read more

The sushi was very fresh!! This was my first time at Bambou and I found the staff to be very friendly and the food to be delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered the Tuna Tortilla Pizza for appetizer. We then shared a California Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, Greenwich Roll, and Mexican Roll. Everything was great, the fish was fresh and the rolls were nicely rolled with the perfect amount of rice. I highly recommend this restaurant for sushi. The sushi beats a lot of places in Bayside, Queens! read more

I hosted a business dinner for a group of 7. The sushi is delicious and fresh and presented beautifully... we had the tuna and crab meat "Pizza" - Yum! The pad thai was great... and our favorite roll was the Mom Roll. The restaurant was not crowded on a Wed night... we asked for a Manhattan cocktail and they had no idea what it was or how to make it and brouht each ingredient separately and we were left to mix it ourselves at the table! The service was slow and unattentive - for a business meal, we would have prefered more checking in. Would return for a personal meal, but would not recommend for a business meal. read more

Worst sushi place I've ever ordered from. They can't even get an order right. $20 for a roll and it was gross. They've gone down hill. Find another sushi place. Not worth the money read more

Ordering takeout was sort of difficult to give and confirm details, however the driver was efficient and confirming address and drop off timing. The food was fresh- glazed salmon with assorted veggies to sub out rice/starch. The extra veggies were delicious and perfectly steamed and seasoned. The sashimi tuna and avocado pizza was deliciously flavorful and spicy. I think the crust could have been better by using a wonton crispy round and not a thin crust dough (texture becomes too chewy) but still had great flavor! The price for all (including tip) was $50. I ate half the salmon and veggies for the next day's leftover meal. read more

This is my first Yelp review. First, the food was incredible. We ordered mango tofu, eggplant in garlic sauce, and vegetable udon noodles. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. They put a lot of mango, eggplant, and vegetables in the noodles (nothing was cheaply done). Second, the ambience and wait staff were amazing. Marvin was particularly kind and went out of his way to accommodate our group. Everyone was so sweet and explained what was vegan and what wasn't. And they actually understand veganism (no fish sauce, no oyster sauce as well), which was great! Wonderful place and I don't know if Marvin is the owner, but either way, he should get a huge bonus for his delicious food and hospitality!! Update: on the second night, we ordered food in again from this place. While it is on the expensive side, one dish (about $14) is far more than enough to feed two people. It fed three of us, but we were not that hungry. And it is still delicious! The delivery guy was also extremely kind, as is par for this place. We tried black bean tofu and that was also good. Highly recommend! read more

Been here a few times and currently have a groupon in the reserves for my next visit. Comes out of nowhere on the road it is on and is actually a quite pretty setting. It was nice to sit outside on one of my visits. I like places like this that have something for everyone or whatever you may be in the mood for - sushi, noodles, chinese dishes etc. Good service and decent prices, pretty nice portions too. read more

I tend to be suspicious of restaurants that offer Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food all under one roof, but Bambou is proof that Asian fusion restaurants can be delicious! For appetizers I tried a couple different types of gyoza as well as the calamari and fried vegetable spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The gyoza were really light. The seven spiced calamari with two dipping sauces was so addicting, crispy, and unique! Move over, Mediterranean-style calamari! I ordered the mango and jicama salad ($12) and an avocado roll ($5). The salad was really fresh and came with an awesome citrus dressing on the side. I think it was lemon juice, orange juice, and rice wine vinegar--no oil, which is just what I wanted for a refreshing meal. The avocado roll came with 6 pieces and was packed with ripe avocado, very little rice. I'm not sure how the sushi with actual fish stacks up, but judging by the fact that there were 5 sushi chefs working at dinner, it's pretty good. The noodle dishes smelled delicious as well. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. The food took some time to come out, but you can just fill up on appetizers in the mean time :) It was so nice to sit out on the patio and enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious fresh food. If I lived in this area I would come back again and again! read more

Came here this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised the food was great, sushi, soba noodles, fried rice , spring rolls all were so good.

I don't know how this place had good reviews. There was nothing good about it except the edamame and that's not very hard to not screw up. We had to wait an hour for the worst sushi roll I have ever had. I paid $15 for a roll that was pretty much all asparagus with a tiny bit of salmon, it was supposed to be one of their "special" rolls but it was basically just paying double for the salmon asparagus roll. I felt badly for the waitress that seemed like she was operating the whole place on her own. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more
