And she likes to tag along on family…read moreoutings like a dinghy attached to a bigger boat, sometimes in front, sometimes in the wake, so when we found this place on Yelp it was fate. We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area. Parking on the street is the only difficulty, particularly when you have a nonagenarian to get into the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

The restaurant was clean and bright.

We had two of the meat combos, and it came with the vegetables which was quite nice! The quality of the meat and vegetables were just alright. The service was quick and they were very nice. The only thing that makes it difficult to rate this higher is the prices. The price is pretty steep for hot pot meat, as well as needing to pay for the soup bases on top of it. Unfortunately, this place is just average for us, so it won't be replacing any favorites of ours.

Did a lunch visit with a friend, going our own way with lunch combos and adding a couple of full-order appetizers. -- Spareribs on the Bone: St Louis cut ribs with ruby red glaze, just a bit of char, and a clear honey glaze to sweeten things further. Not the meatiest, not the juiciest, and not the most tender, but they got the job done, thanks to the very pleasing flavor. These have the potential to be stellar at night. As sampled, above average to well above average, even with the flaws. -- Egg Rolls: Extra crunchy exterior and a soft, stringy assortment of both cabbage and celery for greenery, accented with pork. Above average. -- Chicken Wing (the included appetizer on a combo): Not dark of skin, but still crispy. A bit dry. Kinda plain, with discernible but light marinade. Average to slightly below average. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Not many mushrooms or other fillers. Mostly thick, weirdly gloppy broth and some scallions. Spice present, flavors good, textures not so good. Balances out to average. -- Szechuan Style Chicken with Peanuts: Other than having the two ingredients listed in the name, it didn't seem like similarly named dishes or kung pao. Pea pods standing in for celery. Chicken was high quality and the flavors were appealing, with spice coming through and a hoisin-equestrian undercurrent adding depth. A little above average even if different. -- General Gao's Chicken: My friend's lunch combo. He said it was heavy on the breading and had one-note sweetness. A mixed bag, but a worthy visit if you need something in the area. Lunch specials at $11.95 have a more than fair amount of food, so a good value. But it's those spareribs that'll bring me back. Attentive service. Parking in back of the building.

However, I didn't like the Sesame Chicken, Peking Duck, or Minced Stuffed Tofu as much as other Chinese restaurants.

Got a bunch of items for $200, which is pretty good for the amount of food. Would return but would try other items.

Service was excellent, would go back again. The ability to order off the QR code to see pictures associated with what you are ordering is also a plus!

Things are definitely a bit cramped but it doesn't feel like that, as the environment is very home-y, with a lot of natural lighting makes this a great environment for a great lunch out with the friends. Would return to try more things from the menu!

The staff, managers, server all were very nice and accommodating. Food came out fast and hot. Also had a very nice conversation with the couple next to us, who had wisdom and knowledge of some history which we could relate to. We ordered the following: - Fritto misto 3/5 for me. The garlic/lemon aioli that was loaded on the bottom of the dish was great just allows u to smear and dip everything into the plate instead of a small dip dish everyone has to share. The calamari and shrimp portion is a nice appetizer size. Crispy yes, but our portion was a bit overcooked. - spaghetti Al limone - perfectly cooked, nice chew and portion. You get 4 jumbo shrimps on the pasta plate. The lemon zest sauce was tasty! Enjoyed this! 5/5 - fennel sausage pizza 5/5 I really enjoy the way they make the pizza, crispy, good bites, fresh and served on the plate with a pair of pizza scissors so you can make your own "slices" loaded with toppings. It was a good thin style. Ample bits of fennel sausage, peppers onions and scallion fresh on top. - limoncello mascarpone cake 5/5 This was a great cap to the meal. Light, the mascarpone was refreshing, the cake was not heavy and the lemon flavor came thru like a champ! Not overly sweet which is a plus for us.

It was super cool to learn that they are Employee owned, and currently working on new restaurant concepts set to open soon. Here's what we ordered: - Shirley temple - fritto misto - fennel sausage pizza - spaghetti al limone - limoncello mascarpone cake Portion sizes were quite generous! Much bigger than what we were expecting, based on photos we looked at. We started off with the fritto misto, which included fried calamari, shrimp, & fried lemon with a lemon aioli to dip. The lemon aioli was spread all over the bottom of the dish instead of in a ramekin. We actually prefer it this way! Loved the lemon aioli and fried lemons. Calamari was not bad; slightly overcooked. On to our entrees! Their pizza is thin & very similar to a flatbread. We enjoyed this a lot! Great flavor and loved that we got to cut it ourselves. Came with a good amount of toppings. The spaghetti was made al dente & came with a creamy lime sauce. You can definitely taste the lime here! This came with 4 big shrimps. We were able to finish everything we ordered at this point... so we decided to get some dessert! We ordered the limoncello mascarpone cake to try & it was delicious! It tasted refreshing and not heavy at all. Overall, we had a great dinner here. Our server was very nice, attentive, and helpful with giving suggestions for what we should order.

If I could give this a negative number I would. The food at the mall is better!! This was so disappointing. Order $65 worth of food and might as well have thrown my money out the car window. The food is TASTELESS. The Lo Mein was dry and bland. The chicken fingers were all bread and no chicken, egg foo young tasted like egg poo young. ( that's being nice) and the rest I can't bother to bore you. My spouse came all the way home after ordering all this food and they neglected to pack the tasteless Lo Mein. He had to drive 30 min up and 30 min back . When he arrived they never apologized. He asked for a credit or an appetizer for their screw up and they said "No, we can't!" Rude af . Would never order from here again. Service is terrible and food is worse. Used to come here years ago . Went down hill. Save your money. Go to the Olive Garden or legacy for a nice meal. read more

I recently started using Westwood Jade for take-out and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and satisfying the food was. In my opinion, this is the best place for quick Chinese food in town - I've checked out a few other places and haven't been as impressed. One thing that really stood out to me was the consistently good service. Every time I've ordered, the staff have been friendly and efficient. The portion sizes are also generous, which is always a plus in my book. And if you like things extra spicy, just let them know and they'll accommodate your request. The menu at Westwood Jade is mostly deep-fried dishes, but there are also some simpler, healthier options available if that's what you're in the mood for. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving Westwood Jade a try if you're in the mood for some tasty Chinese food. Four stars! read more

The rice had decent flavor, but nothing really stood out. It tasted more like a safe choice than something I would go back for. The shrimp with lobster sauce had a nice portion size, but the sauce felt a little flat. It was missing that rich, layered flavor I was expecting. We also got the Bo Bo Platter to share, which is their appetizer sampler. It came with beef teriyaki, chicken wings, spring rolls, shrimp, and crab rangoons. A little bit of everything. Again, it was just ok. The flavors didn't pop the way I wanted them to. My husband had the Crispy Pad Thai which came with jumbo shrimp, chicken , and egg, stir fried with rice noodles.

I honestly would have been happy just getting a plate of those. Overall, Bamboo is a beautiful space with solid service, but food wise, it didn't hit for me the way I hoped it would.
