Food was good it was better than regular Chinese food & the sushi seemed more upscale, however we got there around 9:20pm & the host was literally pushing us out the door telling us to do take out only. I asked for a soda and he said they didn't have any. Rudest host and customer service atmosphere ever & im Asian. Usually Asian people treat other Asian people better, but these Chinese owners/workers were rude as ever. Not going to lie though the food was good enough to order again. Next time I'll just do Grubhub instead of deal with their terrible service. read more

Bamboo - Mongolian Beef chicken Fried Rice Shrimp with Ginger and Scallions - Chinese Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

**NOTE** This review is for the lunch buffet only! This place is tucked in out of sight next to a Holiday Inn. Normally when it comes to locations like this expectations are usually pretty low but I was quite surprised at the offerings available! Now I'm not going to lie and say that this is the best buffet I've ever been to EVERRR but it was surprising at the quality of the choices that were available. We arrived at 11:30am (right when the place opens) and were seated promptly. The buffet opened soon after and I was able to make my way around the various offerings. The best part I would say would be the sushi offerings which had a fairly large assortment of Maki rolls available (with the usual offerings of wasabi and soy sauce along with ginger). The sushi was quite tasty and while not the best sushi ever (let's be honest, it's a buffet), I had no complaints. The rest of the buffet had your usual fair if americanized Chinese food with some more authentic choices available (if you've been to a Chinese buffet, you won't be surprised here). Staff was pleasant and were quick to remove used dishes and refill our drinks! The total was less than $30 for two people so not bad for a buffet with the offerings available. If you're in the area during lunch give this place a go! read more

The most interesting of all the locations. A lot of Local regulars at the bar, randomly. A bunch of thick Boston accents drinking bud light and eating sushi and dumplings. You also get the clientele form the sub-par holiday inn attached. Lots of take out orders. The food is outstanding and affordable. read more

Ordered takeout, the orange chicken and spring rolls were very good. The beef and broccoli was not good, the meat was so fatty i couldn't eat it. read more

I came here frequently for lunch and a few times for dinner. One time for dinner I brought a friend and I found the portions of beef and broccoli and kung pao chicken to be small...I was very disappointed. They redeem themselves for lunch. Portions are very generous and I do find tastier. Sushi is always good and appetizers too regardless of time. Bamboo, please review dinner dishes, portions could use improvement consider the premium price being charged. read more

Food was great and service was clean and polite. Ambiance was clean and upscale Chinese.

Have been going here for years. Not any more. They service has gone down over the last two years. No smiles, no thankyou, seems you are a bother. On 7/3/24 the person taking the orders on phone was very rude and arrogant. Told us to come in within 10 minutes because they were closing early. No problem, was there in 5 minutes and waited and waited. The same woman who answered phone was now involved in counting her cash at the register. After 15 minutes a food order came out and sat on the shelf. I thought it must be for another customer. Another 15 minutes after woman finished counting money she went and talked to bar tender. Another 10 minutes past and she went to shelf and handed my order. I asked why she waited to give me my order and she said I should have told her! So I was told to come within 10 minutes and actually was 40 minutes of which 25 minutes the food was left to get cold. read more

Horrible Service! Ordered one thing and got something else. Rude servers. The food was subpar. Not a big fan. Certainly won't try again.

Delicious and fresh! A little bit of wait time to be seated but I can totally see why. The service was slightly delayed but not for our food. It came out in perfect timing. It was busy, the waitress took a while to pay so we just went up front. read more

*Review for sushi only* This place is such a hidden gem. Easily has the best quality sushi outside of Boston . Don't let the fact that it is connected to the Holiday Inn deceive you. I have half a dozen sushi places that I can go to in Quincy if I'm looking to fulfill a craving, but this is where you should go if you're really looking for quality. The salmon sashimi was the best I've had- fish wasn't mushy and had the perfect firm but delicate texture, really fresh salmon flavor without even a hint of fishiness. We also got the Godzilla and the Tiger maki- both of which were filled to the brim with crab. The eel on the outside of the Godzilla roll was very meaty and flavorful, unlike the other places that have cheaper eel where you have small little bones in each bite. I would definitely recommend sitting at the sushi bar, as it has a nicer ambiance than sitting at a regular table. AND if you're lucky you can order from the head chef- his name is Lu and he really makes great sushi! read more

I've been here a few times and the food has always been delicious and consistent. The staff is sort of awkward/uncomfortable. They don't really give off a friendly aura when you walk in. They're not mean in any way, but don't seem to really want to connect with the customer and don't smile much. I like that there's a buffet option here, but am very curious with what happens to all the food when it closes at 2:30pm. The amount of food I seen today would be extremely shameful if that all goes to waste. I think the buffet should stay open until majority of the food is gone, but they can stop making fresh food at 2:30pm. When I received my bill to sign off on, the waitress crossed off the 10% gratuity option. I've never seen that before and found that to be extremely weird. I don't like this restaurant trying to limit my tipping options and really hope this was an error/practice they do not teach their staff to do. I always tip at least 20% as long as your service is up to par. Trying to control what I tip rubs me the wrong way and doesn't convince me to give you a higher tip either. Aside from that, the food is always hot and fresh. The sushi here is definitely amazing and the drinks are good as well. It's a great place to come to if you're in the mood for really good Chinese/Japanese food. read more

It is still not better than bamboo trust me! read more

We order takeout 2-3 times a month from here. Always solid and the orders are on time and correct. Very good place, but no idea about the sushi as it's not something we eat. read more

Possibly the most disappointing buffet experience I've ever had. We had a decent sized party (10+ adults and 5+ kids) for a birthday party and no one was impressed by the small food selection when we went on a weekend night. Also the host never offered us soup, which I accidentally found out from another patron is included with the price, which is quite high for what was offered. People lined by the walls to wait for the fresh seafood. For my money, I'm going elsewhere. read more

Deep fried shrimp dumplings. Called mini-shumai. Unbelievably good. I will come here forever for those.

Bamboo franchise is pretty solid and consistent. Ordered takeout it seemed like I received buffet leftovers. read more

Food was good. A little overpriced, but what isn't these days. Service was not good. Not in a hurry to return.

My favorite restaurant!! Always practicing safe covid dining!! Super clean!! Ray and LeeAnn both do a great job at the bar!! I live near Quincy and have many options for Asian cuisine! But would rather drive to Dedham as there sushi can compete with the best of Boston!! read more

I came here for the buffet some time ago and wanted to stop by for dinner and somewhere not expensive since we are around the area (at Legacy Place). As i walked in and realized that they don't have buffet everyday anymore. Me and my friend just ordered sushi since we are not that hungry. We ordered avocado salad, naruto, and dragon maki. It took less than 15mins for the dish to be served after we placed our order. Nice, quiet, and romantic environment since not much people there on Saturday night. The lights are not that bright, it will be more romantic if they have a candle in every table. read more

Had lunch at Bamboo several weeks ago, the cocktails, rangoons, scallion pancakes and Pad Thai were all excellent. Based on that experience, decided to have an after work dinner this past Wednesday.. hard to believe it was the same place. Mai Tai's were below average at best. Rangoons and scallion pancakes were overly greasy. Nothing very special about the "house special," fried rice. Rather plain, bland, not much in it and the smallest portion I've ever been served. Ordered cashew chicken, waiter brought out chicken and broccoli, which we sent back. The chicken with cashews should have been called chicken with a cashew. Very few, if any cashews, and again a very small portion. After working all day, my companion was exhausted and wanted to get home. Attempted to pay with my credit card, waiter returned 20 minutes later to say the system was not working and I needed to pay cash...I generally don't carry much cash, so were they going to have me wash dishes? All and all a very disappointing meal and an equally disappointing evening. Far better Chinese comes from my local "take out joint." Bye bye Bamboo read more

Great buffet. Monday - Friday 11:30am - 2:00pm Saturday - Sunday 11:30am - 2:30pm Sunday Dinner buffet - 5:00 pm - 8:00pm Came here for lunch, and I believe it cost $12 for the buffet. Those who are not interested in self-engorgement followed by self-loathing may choose to order à la carte. The restaurant is located in the Holiday Inn. It is a PITA to get to, but once you arrive, you will most likely be pleasantly surprised at how nice of a restaurant it is. Patrons range from suits to average joes. A soup is included. One may choose between either miso and hot and sour. Everyone in my party had the hot and sour. I think I was the only one who finished it. It was neither terrible nor the best. It was, however, vegetarian friendly. Lunch buffet options included salad and sushi, which I did not waste my time on. There were, however, plenty of meat options and a handful of vegetarian options. Dishes were the usual for buffets, but perhaps at a significantly higher quality than is the standard. The gem was the crispy beef, which is something that one should definitely order if opting for the menu. The main area in which the food lacked was seafood. Perhaps it is different for Sunday dinner. Service was above average for a Chinese buffet. How? Staff spoke excellent english, and the waitress gave us extra chocolate fortune cookies. Overall, great buffet, great value, and vegetarian approved (not me, silly). (^_^) Venue (^_^) Service (^_-) Options (^_^) Taste (^_^) Bang for buck Glad I came. It is worth a 20-30 minute drive. I will be back. read more

I like Bamboo franchise in other locations, but this place destroyed all my expectations. I and my family members went in there for dinner the other day and were extremely disappointed in food that we ordered. Dishes we ordered were all very bland and no flavor. It tasted like they did not season meats before they even started cooking. We ordered three dishes and two of them were supposed to be spicy. However, both them were not spicy nor had any seasoning. I don't if I should have ordered other dishes, but my expectation is very low. We would not go back there any time soon. I think they make money by selling alcoholic beverages. read more

I have been a patron of Bamboo for a couple of years, I have always enjoyed the ambience of Bamboo, the staff is always welcoming and the chef never disappoints. Everything on the menu is tasty. Because of all that I decided to have my son and his girlfriends gender reveal at Bamboo. Jerry the manager was so accommodating I knew I was in good hands just from our conversation. I cannot express how pleased we all were, my guess called the next day to express how much of a good time they had an how good the food was. I personally can't wait to go back, again Jerry thanks for making our gender reveal a beautiful memory read more

Great food and wonderful sushi chefs! Whether you do buffet or sit at sushi bar always fast and good.

Great food and service! Ray and Leanne at the bar never disappoint! Chicken skewers and house fried rice are great!

Slightly upscale Chinese restaurant with good variety of menu options. We liked everything we tried and felt prices were fair. Highly recommend the "Inari Pillow" from their seasonal menu. It was cool to see Peking Duck wraps on the menu, since that's an authentic Beijing dish. They were reasonably well done although the tortillas were not quite right. read more

Customer Service / Order Takers are not friendly. Overall ; a starting bad experience results in an NOT-GOOD-Meal. read more

Quality Chinese food, for sure. The better option is the fantastic sushi! Tucked in with the Holiday Inn in Dedham.

This place is just great. Whether you want to go casual or a nice quiet date. The food they serve is always fresh and delicious. Even the Buffet. The Buffet could use a bit more variations, it seemed to me that the same dishes are out every Sunday. but if you are looking for great service and better and fresher food, than this is your place. Better than PF Changs across R1. read more

Had dinner here tonigh. food was ok. My biggest complaint is that the party sitting next to us was acting completely inappropriate (playing videos on their phones so loud that i could not have a discussion with my friend). they did this all night along with ordering at least 4 rounds of drinks (ever heard of social host liability?????). the staff/servers knew that these people were behaving in the most rude and obnoxious way and yet no one stepped in to ask them to stop using the phone or at least turn the volume down. disappointing. will not go back again soon as they could care less about customer experiences. read more

Excellent food - I have been a regular at this place for several years now for their lunch buffets - they are second to none. I tried their takeout for the first time recently and was very satisfied. They are the best in this area without a doubt. read more

The food is good for $25. There was lobster, lots of sushi choices, and other asian food. The food was hot and fresh but the desserts had two flies. I don't recommend eating those cakes because there are flies but the other food was great. Usually when I eat at buffets my stomach hurts but this place didn't make my stomach hurt. This place seemed fancy and clean. read more

Been going there for many years. Took out moo shi chicken and crispy pad tai. Very disappointed in both dishes. The moo shi dish was almost black and didn't taste good while the pad tai dish only had 1 small piece of chicken in it. Plus, they have raised their prices a lot. Will now be looking at different options in my area. So sad since this was my go to place for years. read more

So I've had a lot of friends recommend this place to try it today was the day and I have to let the food was absolutely fantastic the service is great very nice atmosphere and very well worth the price read more

This is a restaurant attached to the Holiday Inn and Convention Center. The restaurant is clean and I've eaten dinner and lunch here before. The service was polite and if you decide to skip the nicely laid out buffet and order a separate meal item for lunch, your food will still come out hot and fast. The few times I've had lunch I didn't have any problem getting in and out within 30 minutes or so, despite it being about 90% full. They have a nice bar area that seats about 25 to 30 people and there is a TV if you want to grab a drink, eat some General Gau's and watch a local sports game. Enjoy! read more

The portions here have decreased and the prices have gone up and I'm okay with that. A group of us have been going to Bamboo once a month for about 10 years. Recently, the service and food quality have declined. They are probably short handed in the kitchen, but waiting an hour for 8 meals is too long. The last meal two meals I had there were Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken. The Pad Thai was incredibly dry and the crispy chicken had to be cut with a steak knife. We will continue to frequent the restaurant and believe that it will improve again. read more

We ordered chicken fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp and chicken with cashews. The food was beyond horrible and absolutely tasteless, after we had to wait for 2 hours for the food! Very disappointed. Not ordering from here again. read more

Ordered delivery at 6:30pm. Was told it would be here within the hour. It's been 2 hours now and no food or update on when I'd get to eat dinner tonight. Was told I'd be charged if I cancelled my order. So now I'm sitting here without any dinner and if I want to order something new I get to pay for that in addition to the food that I ordered 2 hours ago that never arrived! Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. Waste of time & money. read more
