    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.

    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.

    Great lunch spot. The food and boba drinks are always great, and the service is welcoming. The inside is cute and there's a bar definitely recommend.

    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

    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:)

    Our friends have mentioned this was a good Chinese restaurant and coincidentally I actually won a giveaway from their Instagram post. We came to collect the tickets and eat there too with our friends. It was a small wait because there was only one server on the floor but it was SO WORTH IT. The AC still wasn't working which was alright they had LOTS of fans going. We got a starter of pork rolls (6) and I had gotten the General Tso's plate with plain lo mien noodles. The portions are BIG! They also provide hot chili oil if you ask. I had enough left over to take for lunch the next day. Three staff is so nice. This is a great hole in the wall. Definitely would recommend.

    Sesame tofu
    Candi L.

    I have ordered from Bamboo before and had a good experience. Tonight not so though. Ordered sesame tofu with cheese Rangoon and yellow curry tofu plus an order of veggie spring rolls. We were missing the cheese Rangoon and part of the veggie spring rolls order. Neither the sesame tofu or yellow curry tofu had any flavor or spice and the sauces were thin and watery. Definitely not a good experience. Not sure what was going on tonight but I will hesitate to try again

    Excited to try. Was not so good though. Got the chicken friend rice. Which was basically greasy rice with crumbs of chicken. The egg roll was ok but can tell it was fried in dirty oil. Unfortunately was not good and you definitely need like those grease removing pads for your whole body afterwards.

    Great food! First time here. Tried a little of everything. The fried dumplings and honey cilantro wings were AMAZING. Spicy egg drop soup had some kick! Main meals: Szechuan beef and sesame chicken were the favs!

    Broccoli stir fry with chicken and Lo Mein Noodles
    Lindsay H.

    Service was mediocre - I placed an order online for a specific time but then wanted to move up the time so I called ahead and asked if they could start on the meal early and initially said no, but eventually after some coaxing, got started on it. Then when presenting to the restaurant, no one was hospitable or welcoming, and then when I was directed to the bar to pick up my drinks, the bartenders continued talking and said nothing to me, so I stood around waiting for my to-go drinks for at least 5 mins. The food was fine - the orange chicken was not spicy and did not have the normal orange sauce flavor, I thought it was off; the rice was great though; the egg and springs rolls were nothing special also; the drinks were super sweet; the egg drop soup was good, very warm and tasty and loved the crunchy wonton strips; the broccoli stir fry with chicken and lo mein was fine, nothing special; the spicy Singapore noodles with chicken did not have a lot of chicken in it, it was mostly noodles. Overall, the experience with take-out was very mediocre at best. Unsure if I will be returning, but maybe to sit in to see if service and ambience makes up for carry out experience.

    Good for a rushed midweek meal only can have it every once in a while because it's so greasy but when we do it hits the spot.

Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

However, the hostess was so focused on keeping nine empty tables for reservations yet we finished our dinner by the time those guests arrived and she put us next to the AC vent where it was extra hot with the outdoors of 90°F... That is, don't go if you don't have reservations.

Because I am on a work trip, I did not have to worry about pricing, but I did think that, although it is the standard, this meal was pretty expensive. It was over $33 but I did add a fried egg and extra chicken. I ordered the Krapo with medium spice and it was perfectly spicy. There was a perfect amount of Thai basil in the dish and it was wet enough for the rice to be a perfect addition. The bell peppers and the onions were absolutely spectacular. Now for the Boba. I ordered a combination of coconut, kiwi and watermelon. I also made sure that I subbed out the milk for coconut water as I cannot tolerate dairy. This Boba smoothie might be the best Boba I have ever had. I will say that the lid is kind of confusing because I do not know if the Thai restaurant makes it or if it is a neighboring restaurant. Regardless, I would be back just for this eight dollar Boba. Upon arriving to the restaurant, there was limited parking and inside it was super crowded. Obviously this is a popular spot and a lot of people ordered delivery through apps. It was kind of chaotic when picking up, but it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant was dark, but it did seem clean. My only grip here is that they must've been so rushed that they did not give me silverware or napkins. I had to beg my hotel to accommodate me.
