**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** Nestled conveniently in the heart of the city, this Chinese restaurant has garnered a spectrum of reactions from diners. While some revel in its flavorful offerings like sesame noodles and General Tso's chicken, others lament over under-seasoned fried rice and lackluster portion sizes. The atmosphere is clean, and the service is consistently praised for its warmth and engagement. However, a recent sharp increase in prices has sparked debate, leading some regulars to seek alternatives. Despite the ups and downs, the lunch specials remain a highlight, attracting both new and returning customers looking for a satisfying meal on a budget.

Was J R at Bamboo a mag?
Clean simple inside the restaurant and quick food prep times are a plus. Flavorful food and reasonable prices make this conveniently located Chinese restaurant a nice place to order-out from. The staff is nice and engaging and it’s a short walk from an liquor outlet and ice cream store. View all feedback.

What Gina Parisse dislikes about Bamboo:
Disappointed after reading good reviews on here. Fried rice has absolutely NO flavor. Portions super small. Shrimp egg roll had no shrimp. Won't be ordering again. View all feedback.

This is an excellent family-owned restaurant. The staff is friendly, and the food is always fresh and delicious.

The menu selection is quite limited, and although they claim to offer delivery on their website, that isn't the case. On a positive note, the sweet and sour chicken is fantastic, along with other dishes. As for parking, it's a matter of luck to find a suitable spot at the right time. I ordered takeout for dinner.
