    Definitely a hole in the wall place. Literally if you choose to eat inside it's really hot. We came here because we saw a couple promoting it on TikTok saying how wonderful it was and the best Chinese food I beg to differ definitely not the best and I never I rarely ever give a bad review. It felt like filler food. Never again.

    I was in the southtown area for an event and I heard bamboo does this deal after the spurs win. A free vietnamese coffee and pan fried noodles!! We ordered a small egg drop soup, pan fried noodles, chicken lettuce wraps and a vietnamese coffee. The chicken lettuce wraps were incredibly saucy and flavorful and the egg drop soup was definitely one of the best ones i've had in town. The noodles were super delicious and I'll definitely be back for them! The vietnamese coffee was too delicious and I completely forgot to take a picture of it. The service was incredible and the overall atmosphere was well decorated and nice house music was playing. The prices were hard to beat and the food definitely lived up to it! 10/10 reccomend!!

    Lemon chicken and fried rice

    The food was delicious! I ordered takeout--Lemon Chicken Rice with Cheese Rangoons. There was a small extra charge of $0.75 for the Rangoons, but the portion was hefty and everything tasted really good. Great value for the amount of food you get! The service was great, and the ambiance was really nice--cool, laid-back, and relaxing. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return!

    With fast & reliable service, plus a vast range of delicious choices I will never get over how delicious this San Antonio Staple is!

    Lemon chicken with fried rice to go
    Doretta W.

    I ordered delivery via GrubHub. Pleasantly surprised it was fast and still hot when I received the order. The lemon chicken had a crispy coating and a good lemon sauce (not too sweet). The chicken was a little dry but the flavor was good. The pork fried rice was very traditional... yum! The rice was a little dry but overall the taste was solid. The potstickers were packed and cooked correctly.

    So I typically love trying anything new or any new place, I've heard about this place all over insta and TikTok so I decided to give it a shot, I took my older brother with me and he doesn't look the friendliest but he had no issues or didn't have any problems with anyone, it took maybe 20 minutes to get seated and another 10-15 to even get asked for drinks, the drinks came out and it was only my tea, my brother waited till our food came out and then she went to "check on the drink" the food was okay but not exciting and the appetizer came out hotter then anything on the plate. All in total it wasn't the greatest experience but it's a pretty sight and the drinks were decent, it just seemed like they were quicker to get us out the restaurant then to take care of us

    Bamboo is a staple Chinese spot I go to when in the SATX area! The General Tso's is always portioned on the heavier side but this time around they didn't give as much of the portions. I do always ask to make it spicy but they don't seem to make it spicy at all, they can definitely improve in that area. The Rangoons are usually fresh, I think I've only ordered once when they were not and were over fried.

    Stopped by for lunch and had the lemon chicken -- absolutely a 10/10! Parking is a bit limited, but the delicious food and great service more than make up for it.

    They have lunch specials everyday. Our waitress was nice and friendly. I ordered the Lemon chicken plate with fried rice. I'll be back to try some more of there lunch specials.

    Sesame chicken with Lo Mein Noodles
    Emily G.

    Came here last night because I was craving chinese food and this choose this place because it's nearby and they have good prices, and open late I got the sesame chicken with lo mein and my boyfriend got the lemon chicken. We also both added on the cheese rangoons and those were probably my favorite part of the whole meal I could have eaten like 10 of those alone. All around we both enjoyed both of our meals. Service was great! The girls at the register both were very nice and helpful. I didn't know what kind of drink to get so they gave me a drink to try the lavender green tea and omg was so good. A little bit sweet but still great. Ambiance was nice, I didn't eat inside I ordered to go so I didn't get to see the whole inside but front was nice:)

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

After having spent years faithfully going to the…read moresame Chinese restaurant because it was close to my house and not realizing that the food quality had gone down remarkably, we decided to try a different place and here we are. It's been about a year or so since we've been coming here fairly regularly and I really cannot complain about anything specific. Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that. The price of their meals seem to be stuck in a world without crazy tyrant leaders, and inflation out the roof, though I don't know for how much longer that will remain. Wah Kee!

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.

The appetizer we ordered (veggie steamed dumplings) came out with one less dumpling than promised on the menu. My wife's noodles were nothing special, as was my spicy/numbing pot.
