Food was truly great. Wide variety of options on this menu. But best of all, GREAT SERVICE , very helpful by Tina , our server. We very much enjoyed chatting with her. . I highly recommend this restaurant read more

Impressed with the first few entrees from Bamboo Bistro. While menu prices seem high online, they've got plenty of deals operating through both online and in person specials (would do a quick lookup or ask the staff too). Family favorites were the beef fried rice and the sesame chicken! Would order both again, as well as venture into the Thai side on a future visit. Service was relatively fast, simple, and straightforward. Seems like a great option for delivery or to-go if you're in the Westgate area. read more

I ordered the food through doordash. I read the reviews and decided to order. This place had 9k reviews with 4.5. I'm thinking it's going to be great. I usually go to yelp and Google to read reviews and see the rating. It was late and I wanted Asian food. I got the pad Thai with tofu and my kid got chicken fried rice with no veggies. Of course on doordash the price for each dish was over $17. I get it, door dash have to make their cut. I would say overall, the food didn't have flavor and tasteless. I had to put Sriracha sauce on my noodles and my kid added soy sauce to her rice. I don't think I would return to this place. I wish the food tasted better. I love trying out new Asian restaurants when i can. My partner doesn't care for it too much. read more

Wasn't demanding a lot from a 2:20am Chinese meal but wow this is just not good. Like much worse than anything you could make or microwave at home. As others have said, how do you make Chinese food so flavorless and lukewarm. Tastes like it was made from expired rations. The 5/5 reviews are fake/ai. Really regret eating here. Service was good and diner atmosphere could be really cool. But wow, probably the worst Chinese food I've had. read more

Ordered this on door dash while visiting Austin. Bad mistake. Fried rice is just rice with soy sauce, zero veggies. Sweet and sour chicken came covered in a the sauce and made it mushy. Another dish was extremely spicy without a warning, so we couldn't eat it. Waste the $41. read more

This place has gone down hill. Not only do they no longer offer lunch specials, but quality has declined as well. I'll admit, their chicken tempura dishes (General Tso, orange peel, sesame, etc.) are always on point. The batter is light, airy and crispy when eaten immediately. However, their rice today was dry. White rice should be sticky and soft, and their fried rice wasn't any better. We also ordered the Szechuan beef, which is meant to be savory and a tad spicy. The sauce was overly sweet and generic and the beef was extremely dry and difficult to chew. Today, the tea also tasted stale. Very disappointed. read more

Mystery place looks like it's closed but when u enter it's so good the food is great here and my family I went here and when I tell u this has to be the best Chinese food I've ever had in my whole life of living we've always been passing by it in our time living here in Austin and its so life changing. read more

Absolutely the worst I've had in Austin. No flavor at all the Thai basil soup was salty as hell. I ordered the Thai basil fried rice, no basil taste or a basil leaf in sight!! I'm highly pissed off that I spend $70 on this read more

Oh my gosh This food is absolutely delicious I have to pull over and eat it I can't wait it smells DIVINE read more

It's rundown but doesn't miss. They were quick to order, priced fair, and tasted as you'd expect from an Asian fusion. It's definitely a bit dingier but honestly not a problem for me. read more

Have ordered many times through grubhub and quality is getting worse and worse. Absolutely not worth the price and quality is horrible, to say the least. It is catered at my workplace for lunch and almost all items are pathetic. read more

Everything tasted drab and sameish. I've tried it a few times because it's close to where I work. Just not worth it.

This place is by far the best hangover Chinese, night in, lunar new year, movie night, affordable takeout food. There are "fancier" Chinese places in the city to order from but they don't travel well whatsoever. Bamboo bistro travels incredibly well. The food is classic, comforting Chinese food. Generous portions. Great for large parties. Quality ingredients. I served this when I hosted my sex and the city season two watch party - and it was a hit. Don't sleep on the lo mein. read more

I had a barber appointment next door so I stopped in as I had been to the Bamboo Bistro near the Domain. There were zero prices on the menu, the dining area and exterior of the building were harrowing, and the view of the kitchen was rough. Still, the food was decent -- I highly recommend the jalapeño cream cheese wontons. The chicken is always the same...overcooked and quite flavorless. The fried rice was lacking flavor as well and was super oily. The staff was super nice but I won't be back... read more

Lunchdrop order so no review on the restaurant itself. Just the food I got. Went with lettuce wraps since I thought it would be a little bit of a lighter lunch. Lettuce came in a ziplock bag and they were crisp and clean. The filling was made with chicken, water chestnuts onions etc. and also included a dipping sauce (which given the saltiness of the filling really wasn't necessary). I wasn't super excited about the filling since it mostly just tasted like soy sauce. It lacked umami and sweetness that would balance out the saltiness of the dish. I don't think I would order this dish again. read more

The food is good. Thai basil fried rice was not as good as my first two visits; it's still good: less fragrant, less basil, less vegetables (I ordered them instead of a protein). The exterior really needs a facelift. I went to pick up food and thought for a moment that the restaurant was closed. The drive through order menu looked really old and damaged. I hope they will consider changing the outside appearance; it may be costing them potential customers. read more

Drive thru takes literally FOREVER. I was the only car and waited over 20 minutes. The drive thru speaker was also very quiet, could barely hear the lady talking, as for the food goes it was fine. read more

Consistent, good food, good proportions and inexpensive. This is my go-to Asian food spot. The jalapeño crab Rangoons and Thai soup are 2 of my favs. The soup is soooo good, I want it in my veins!! Perfectly spicy, citrusy, and salty. These are some of the best Rangoons too. I got general tso chicken for the first time, wasn't my fav it had a very slight burnt taste BUT it was still good. read more

Traditional Chinese fast food. It's tasty and a good location with easy parking and it also has good service but it's very Americanized. It is locally owned but since they have gotten busier over the years it seems like they've added a lot of sugar and salt to all the food. I would make sure to get something that is naturally less sugar and salt. I like general tso's chicken and sesame shrimp but both are just loaded with sugar. The food comes out fast and hot. read more

Finally tried this place out. It was quiet dining inside, and our food came quickly. Will be returning read more

Based on the mixed reviews for Bamboo Bistro, I had low expectations, but they did not disappoint! What really impressed me was their customer service. I placed my order through the Grubhub app (sorry Yelp, I had credits!) and someone called to confirm my order and delivery time. Since they are drive-through only, I waited in line for a few minutes for the other cars ahead of me. When I got to the window, the attendant apologized for the wait (which really wasn't that long). He also acknowledged the notes in my order, which I really appreciated (I wanted a non dairy option for my Thai iced tea if they had it, but they don't). I love the level of detail they put into their takeout orders, especially how they beautifully packaged the crab rangoons. I'm not quite sold on the pad Thai but am willing to go back to give their other dishes another try! read more

I want to give like 3.7-3.8 stars but I'll round up to 4. This place makes decent to go Asian food, I would say it's just a slight step up from your Panda Express quality and definitely has more options on their menu, but it's no "nice sit down restaurant." The interior is 3/5 stars at best, it's whatever. Not fancy by any means, kind of reminds me of an older diner or a McDonalds (so you can eat there - but why would you when you can get the food to go and eat in the comfort of your home?). I ordered the chef special seared tuna which comes with sautéed spinach/bacon and rice, and my mom got their version of orange chicken and shared some with me. The food was on the salty side but it got the job done, it killed the craving for Asian food. For the price, it's just standard i would say. If you're wanting a nice sit down Asian restaurant meal, try somewhere else but if you want slightly nicer to go asian food this is a fine option. read more

Pretty decent food. Always hot and very fast. Soups could use some work but that's about it.

I've been ordering here since I discovered it in 2014! Chris the manager has always been so sweet and kind remembering my name when I grab my food. My go to is the chicken pad Thai!! I remember being so sick a few years back and when I ordered I asked him if he recommended any dishes to help make me feel better... Chris took the time to ask me how I was feeling and if I had cold symptoms and told me what he would make for me and asked about any allergies and my tolerance to spice.. being open minded I told him I'll eat whatever he makes me. I went home and sipped down a Thai Basil soup that I could feel literally healing me. I remember feeling so warm and full, and thankful I could breathe again! Anyways, I've had only great experiences here! Highly recommend. read more

Wow. The food is terrible. Ordered red Thai curry chicken & its spicy n sour & tastes off. The guys are yelling in the back. The cashier is really nice young guy. Aside from him this place is GROSS. read more

Bamboo Bistro - Who knows? - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I haven't been inside but I have ordered online. Last time I ordered here, I bought the basil fried rice and it was pretty good, the flavors were all there and it would be something I would order again. Today I ordered honey glazed chicken with a side of plain fried rice and an egg roll and it was subpar at best. The fried rice didn't even taste fresh, the sauce over the chicken was too overpowering and was nasty. The egg roll was mushy inside and wasn't satisfying to eat. The two pieces of broccoli that they provided was the highlight of the meal. So far I would only recommend the basil fried rice. I am quite frankly disappointed. read more

Service was very poor. Expensive compared to quality and amount of food. Staff was rude to me personally. Dingy bathroom, run down rest of building. Last time I eat at this establishment. read more

The food at Bamboo Bistro is just okay--nothing special, and definitely not worth the price. The portions are really small for what you pay, which left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, it's pretty underwhelming for the cost. read more

Five stars to the young upbeat dude that was working the drive through. Two stars for the Kung Pao chicken - too sweet and not spicy enough and the chicken tasted like it was chicken jerkey rather than regular chicken. They must have either overcooked it, it was old chicken or both...still edible though. read more

The food is super good. Spicy ramen is also good. It's dry and different. The service and atmosphere is very nice. Every rime I've been there they were so nice. Gave me a fre calender this time. read more

Wonderful food! And the service is always top-notch! I wish there were more options for protein preparation in their delivery service. Proteins are always delivered fried without an option to request unfried preparation. When I order a dish that features broccoli - if I'm in the restaurant, they serve a reasonable portion of broccoli. If I order for delivery, I only get two florets. Something for the restaurant to consider when it comes to consistency of their brand read more

Not amazing tea tastes old and the food isn't bad but it also didn't even follow the description on the menu. Will i go another time sure. This place is close and prices are not horrible. That being said if they raised there prices even the smallest amount with out elevating the food i would just watch as time forces them to close read more

I don't think I have ever had anything bad from here. I drive across town for their soup and Pad Thai. Fast and fresh.

All I had where snacks today!! :D it was delicious, it's not too slaty or sweet like it tends to be a little heavy handed and I like that too, but it was different I like it it felt like it was made with love. Thank YOUU read more

ZERO STARS. First when I went to pick up my food, they didn't have it ready because "they do not make first time orders that do not pay online." So we had to wait for them to ring in our food and make it. When we got home, we noticed that they forgot part of our order. AND now I was eating my soup and almost swallowed a STAPLE. I cannot believe the experience I have had at this restaurant. If you're debating on ordering food from here, you should think again. read more

We order the combo curry fried rice, combo Cantonese crispy noodle and crab wontons. Wontons were decent but I think the filling and/or sauce could of had more flavor. Definitely have had better and neighboring austin restaurants. The crispy noodle dish was by far the least impressive. Noodles have minimum sauce and not much flavor and sure only as texture but the noodles are so long that it's hard to eat with the protein and sauce provided. even after removing the noodles the flavoring of the protein and veggies was very lack luster. The current fried rice was the best of the three but still lacked a lot of flavoring to it. I feel as if there are better options that will have stronger flavor profiles in the area. I will not be returning here. read more
