Dinner time. Seated quickly. Shrimp tempura appetizer was doughy and flavorless. Spring roll was definitely overcooked. Shrimp and lobster sauce did not have water chestnuts as waitress said it did. Shrimp fried rice was a generous portion but came out late. Wonton soup was okay. Not many other choices in this area to eat out. Next time we will pass. Staff was friendly. Decor dated. read more

Live in Montpelier and love this local treasure. I usually order from the lunch menu (available up to 2:30pm). Servings are such that for me it's 2 meals for a ridiculously low price. Ready in 15 minutes... or less. I generally do not dine in, but have on one occasion and it was very comfortable and not noisy like so many restaurants. read more

The Bamboo Chinese Restaurant is a gem! I ordered the Beef Broccoli. The Beef Broccoli is awesome and was cooked just right! Also, I didn't expect that the restaurant would give me some cream cheese Rangoon as my appetizer with my meal. I am looking forward to coming back to Bamboo Chinese the next time I am back in town. read more

Not only is the chicken slimy when you eat it, they don't even answer the phone when you call in to order sub par food!!! Only cause its the closet thing when you are in the middle of no where!! read more

The service is always excellent, and they never seem crowded. I've only ever gotten chicken lo Mein and egg drop soup, but it's always amazing. read more

I drive a county or two over to eat here because (1) the food is amazing. Most Chinese places have gone to #%^* in my opinion and they are just soooo much better than anything else around. (2) the staff is so attentive. Food is served fast and they are super friendly. (3) great prices! Just can't beat it. My favorite Chinese place in the RVA! read more

Really great meal! Nice atmosphere, very good service and the food is really good! We'll be back! Again! read more

Bamboo Chinese Restaurant - Triple Delight! - Chinese Near Me - Montpelier, Virginia

See all

I really like this place!! The food that I've ordered there was ready pretty quickly, tasted wonderful and, for the size of the portions I think the prices are quite reasonable. I've never eaten in, I always pick up to eat with a family member just down the road. But they seem to have quite a following eat-in or take-out. I've never been in when there weren't regulars there, to provide guidance if I don't know what I'd like to have or to tell me I won't have to wait long because of who's cooking tonight. My favorite order is the Mongolian Beef, a large hot & sour soup, extra noodles, maybe an egg roll. With duck sauce. 2 packs. read more

The prices are high for Chinese food but the food taste good and comes out quick and hot. We wish that they made their egg rolls in the store instead of using frozen ones because they are mostly filled with cabbage and have a very bland taste. Still a favorite go to for our family and the portions are generous. read more

Good Chinese in a shopping center in Montpelier. The service is fast and the food very good American Chinese.

Noodles were dry. Fried items were mushy. Flavor was only ok. They don't serve sweet and sour pork so I got sweet and sour chicken instead and the chicken was dry but the breading was not crisp. Not worth the money. read more

The Chinese food here is very good and I do like to get dinner here every now and then. The only thing I dont like is how expensive it is . You can easily spend $50-$60 on Chinese food in one night. read more

I live fairly close to this place and I want to like it. I've tried them a few times and each time kick myself afterwards for giving them another try. The staff is nice but hard to understand by phone at times. I've dined in and tried carry out. I find the food overpriced and mediocre. I was supposed to get fried rice with one order but instead received white rice (discovered when I was home). The rice was cold. The egg roll and soup was good, but again I think the soup is overpriced. For a single person ordering an entree, an egg roll and soup, I was in for something like $25. Just too much money in my opinion for what it is. I will likely not be returning. read more

Bland food, cold and sometimes rude staff, just nothing worth walking into their door for

Excellent egg roll and egg drop soup. I had the shrimp and scallops in garlic sauce and it was great. Lots of shrimp and the scallops were very tender. It was shown as spicy on the menu and lived up to its billing. Very tasty! read more

Food was mediocre at best. Crab Rangoon was greasy and chewy. Egg rolls were very bland.

i never post review but this time I need to save people money. I've been going to this place several times on my way home from work. I recently discovered that the dinner size entre I've been ordering and paying $14 is actually the lunch size portion. I discovered this when I ordered the exact entre from the Chinese restaurant near my house at Lake Anna for about the same price. but double the size. I feel like I've been robbed. I will never order from this place again. read more

We had Triple Mongolian and Pork Lo Mein which we very good larger portions is still the case but the pricing isnt in line IMO, $65 for 3 person drinks, two meals to split and steamed dumpling, 2 egg roll starters. The wait service is fast, timely checkins and always with respect and a smile read more

Love this restaurant and that it is only 7 minutes from my home in Montpelier. Their food is delicious.

Great service they are always very friendly and pretty good food, my husband got the general Tsos chicken and I had the shredded pork in garlic and mushroom sauce, was delish, fresh tasting, quick and friendly service read more

Pretty good, regular/standard American Chinese restaurant. They have what you'd expect. Quick, fast, easy to order. I've only done take out here, don't know about the dine-in scene. read more

The food is just ok. I normally get the triple Lo Mein, and it's mostly noodles and very little chicken, beef or shrimp. Wonton soup has 2 pork dumplings in it. Not going back. read more

Good service. Good food. We each had an egg roll and shared an order of house Lo mein. Dish was flavorful, eggrolls were a little greasy. Overall satisfied and would return. read more

$18.80 for a dinner and 2 egg rolls... Sweet/Sour thickly battered chicken included 3 pineapple chunks, 3 green pepper pieces and oddly 3 maraschino cherries with sauce on the side. Orange Chicken has at least a 1/2 dozen fiery peppers buried in sauce that look like snow pea pods which completely burned the mouth and couldn't eat even after everyone offered ideas for relief. Never had Orange Chicken that way! The $40 we blew at this place is a lesson learned And they had to have $35 in profit from the cheap food court mall style meals they gave us at carry out. Very disappointed read more

We have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant near ashland for months and yesterday we found one. Bamboo!

Awesome first experience here. I had dinner here with a friend and everything was delicious. The restaurant is very modern. The staff is attentive and polite. My friend and I ordered a variety of things as they were recommended by the staff. The shrimp with broccoli was very tasty. She had the pepper beef dish. The dishes were not saturated in sodium and oil compared to other establishments. Delicious! I sampled the crispy shrimp and Mongolian beef/shrimp and both were amazing! Also, a full bar with really good drinks! I will definitely make special trips for this place when I'm craving Chinese. read more

The hot and sour soup, all the wonderful lunch specials, and especially the General Tso's Shrimp are incredible here. Their honey chicken and lo mein are also delicious. Service is always fast and friendly and the folks are nice. This is a great place for a meal. read more

We have ordered take out many times over the last decade and never disappointed. The food is very good, offers a great variety and reasonably priced. Staff is very courteous. read more

Consistency has improved since my last review. This chinese is the best in town and worth a try for lunch or dinner. 5 STARS

My wife and I were picking up some things at the Feed & Seed across the street and thought we'd grab something to take home for dinner. Saw a fairly steady stream of folks entering/leaving the Bamboo, and it was kinda early for dinner (about 5:15pm), so we thought the place must be pretty good. The Hot & Sour soup was the weirdest tasting I'd ever had, not good at all - not hot, not sour, but weirdly sweetish and watered-down tasting. My Scallops w/Garlic Sauce was also weird and not good - watery sauce, sweet and not spicy at all, though there were hot red pepper husks right there amongst the veggies. My wife's egg roll was doughy and tasteless, and her Cashew Chicken was so dry she could barely choke it down. We threw away most of what we got, and worried that sometime that night we'd be up hugging the commode (thankfully, that did not happen). My worst experience ever at a Chinese restaurant. We won't be back, and you have been warned. read more

Two visits and this is just your average Chinese restaurant. General Tso's was super spicy, way above my meter; seafood supreme was uninteresting. But everyone was polite and friendly. read more

Wonderful food, fair prices, very fast service. We get take out from here all the time. read more

The best Chinese food I've ever had, hands down! When I lived in Montpelier I would eat here at least once each week, sometimes twice! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is amazing! I was at the point where when I would call for takeout they knew exactly what I was going to order. When eating inside, the restaurant is ALWAYS spotless with quick and efficient service. And, the hot mustard on the table when dining in is AMAZING (and super hot, so prepare yourself.. a little goes a long way!). If you live in the area or are traveling through, it is a must stop! read more

Horrible service gave us the wrong food and wouldn't do anything about it also wanted to cuss at us about their mess up

Food is pretty decent (3.5/5) but the customer service is the worst. The owner (I'm assuming, the woman at the register) is incredibly rude and acts as though you're an inconvenience by being there. I've tried it a couple times thinking maybe she's just had an off day but I won't be back. read more

Great first experience here. I came in and sat at the bar for lunch on a Saturday. Had the honey chicken with wonton soup and fried rice. The food is very fresh and clearly the sauces and everything made from scratch. The crispy wonton strips they serve are outta this world too. Great service. Short ticket times. Delicious food. read more

The best Chinese I have had!! Always fresh and tasty! Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend this place.

This reataurant goes on my Love Bazaar list! I've dined in this restaurant twice and both experiences were great. The atmosphere is friendly, the alcoholic beverages are well made, and the food is delicious. I've had the crispy shrimp and Mongolian beef. My bf had the curry chicken and loved it. He liked the food so much, he ordered shrimp fried rice to go. Too notch compared to the typical take out restaurant. read more

We eat here about once a week. Very glad the only real option for Chinese food in the area is pretty high in quality and low on cost. Beats most options in Richmond. read more

The worst Chinese I've ever had the chicken is over cooked and dry as sin. The sauce sucks, too, on every dish I've gotten. I have literally never had Chinese this bad. read more
