Black Bamboo has been our go-to Chinese spot since 2018. For years, the quality was impeccable and…read morethe food was genuinely phenomenal -- the kind of place you stop looking for alternatives because you already found the best one. Our usual order is pretty consistent: roast pork fried rice, General Tso's, egg rolls, white rice, chicken lo mein, and crab rangoon. We know exactly what it's supposed to taste like, which is why the last few orders have stood out. There's been a noticeable decline. The lo mein noodles seem smaller than they used to be. The fried rice came out sloppily cooked -- it honestly still tasted like plain white rice, with none of the wok flavor that used to make it worth ordering. And the General Tso's didn't taste fresh the way it always had; it came across as sitting rather than made to order. I'm writing this as a longtime customer, not a one-off complaint. We've spent a lot of money here over the better part of a decade because the food earned it. I'm hoping this is a temporary dip -- a kitchen change, a busy stretch, something fixable -- and that the quality comes back to what it was. We'd love to keep ordering.

They said ready in 5 minutes. I showed up in 4 and it was already packed. Wow that was suspiciously fast but oh my lord it was so fresh it burned my mouth. They whipped this thing up just like that! Obviously this is was Chinese Take-Out is all about but it was actually really good! Usually when I order this from other places I feel like garbage after, the sauce is too gooey, the chicken tastes like bread and I regret everything. Not today! For a little over $8, I see myself coming here whenever its late at night and I need something to eat. Ask them for white meat chicken only and that right there is the key to success. The person who cashed me out was also very excited to give me my food. Nothing but good vibes coming from this place. Well done!

They have been aat the same location over 18 years. The sweet lady at behind the front desk cracked me up she has great customer service and she is very friendly. I wanted shrimp fried rice without carrots & peas, she said nope rice prepared ahead of time. I asked for extra shrimp no extra shrimp. I asked for extra veggies In my veggie lomein. She stated that her chef not making any exceptions. I was so tickled by her saying no to me. My sister found it extremely funny as I'm very specific about how I like my food prepared. My sister response was someone said no to you, lol. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable and ambiance is cozy. If you're ever in downtown Hartford please stop into Saigon Kitchen and try their infamous hot and spicy chicken. To all my Yelpers let's continue to eat our way through the world #Foodie4life.

I wonder why. I'll never go back. Ugh!!

(I judge restaurants against their price range and competitors, so understand that this is an…read moreinexpensive Americanized Chinese take-out joint and not, say, the place with basically the same name in New Haven which is more upscale and authentic.) I've been going to this restaurant forever, even back when it was further down the road closer to the West End. Almost nothing has changed other than the location. The same woman has been taking my orders for decades now, and she doesn't appear to have aged much at all, either. The place is like a time capsule. I wonder how many orders she's taken over the phone in her lifetime. It boggles the mind. As far as the food goes, it's hard to know what to say. You know what Chinese takeout entails; this is a much better than average example of it. I've tried about a dozen or so dishes over the years and never had a real miss. There's also a lot of fried food on offer, including chicken and shrimp, which seem to be extremely popular, along with the boneless ribs which are a local favorite. My Mom likes their scallion pancakes too, but to be fair, she likes them everywhere. I personally prefer the kung pao chicken at New Asia up the street, but for most dishes I give this place the edge. Prices remain quite fair and portions haven't been reduced as far as I can tell, keeping this place a very affordable spot to get lunch or dinner. The service is always efficient and polite, and spirits always seem to be high in the kitchen even when the place is jammed. Note that there isn't much seating inside - a few booths and tables - and the constant traffic of take-out customers loitering right next to them doesn't make for much ambience, so I'd make this a to-go only spot personally. But it's a good to-go spot, tasty, affordable and time-tested. There's a reason this place endures even as the spot that used to be Carmine's up the road has had approximately 137 different places close in the same time frame. There's nothing new here, but they do the familiar quite well.
