Egg drop soup
William P.

The egg drop soup appears to be made completely of egg yolks and no broth. Disgusting. They should call raw egg yolk soup.

Sesame chicken

I have been driving by Bamboo Village for years, never knowing what I have been missing out on! The service was great and the food was even better! the best egg rolls I have ever eaten! I would strongly recommend this hidden gem to anyone in the area. I will definitely be back!

Mongolian Beef
Tracey R.

We ordered: Que Viet eggs rolls Chicken wings Mongolian beef Pad Thai Bangkok shrimp and scallops The person who took our order was great! Delivery was fast. Order was accurate. But....food was not good. The egg rolls were very dark brown on the inside and tasted nothing like Que Viet egg rolls. Pad Thai looks like it had a good dousing of ketchup. It was extremely red in color and unappetizing and therefore did not get eaten. Mongolian beef was exceedingly sweet and saucy. VERY sweet. The Bangkok shrimp and scallops were decent. Scallops were HUGE. A LOT of lemons in the dish. Chicken wings were the best thing--tasty and crispy. Very disappointed for $90+.

Egg foo yuck!

The food was not what I expected all. I got the egg foo young and my kids the sesame chicken. The egg foo young was shaped more like meat balls, & had generic peas & carrots in it, but no onions at all. Even the white rice, sesame chicken, and egg rolls were disgusting. We spent over $50, and I didn't enjoy any of it. Never again!

We just moved to the area this summer. Bamboo Village is by far the best around. Portions and flavors are spot on. We haven't had a bad dish yet! If you haven't been here, you need to try it.

Subpar - 2 stars. It's been 9 years since I've been to Bamboo Village. I was SO hungry...and I was SO excited...and I was SO disappointed! Unfortunately, sometime in the past decade these guys have gone from average to below average. GOOD: 1. The food is very inexpensive, especially considering recent rampant inflation. 2. My server was excellent, doing a great job despite being the only person on the floor. 3. The restaurant looks nice and modern. 4. The dining room seems to be pretty clean. BAD: 1. My tea was the usual cheap tea in a bag. It had a weird soapy smell that I could also taste. I'm not sure if it was the cup or the tea itself. Whatever the case - ew! 2. My Viet egg rolls were great 9 years ago, completely different now. They have the same wonderful crispy crust. But the inside is some weird mash or mix or hash or whatever. It was dark brown, obviously loaded down with lots of soy sauce to make is passable. Definitely a downgrade. 3. My chicken curry looked beautiful with a generous quantity of food. But the chicken had the distinctive flavor or having "turned" or "rot" or "decomp" or if you're a biology dude (like me) the distinct flavor of "putrescine". I've been feeling like crap ever since I came home. Someone from Anoka County should definitely make a spot inspection to investigate safe food handling practices in the back kitchen. 4. It was busy as hell for dinner but there was only 1 person working her ass off trying to keep up. On top of that, I watched complete chaos when the computer went down during my dinner. Understaffed - not cool. 5. Lots of messy tables not cleared off throughout (see photo). Weird. 6. The back corner is a disturbing storage and cleaning supply area (see photo). Put up a wall or something. The cheap little folding room divider doesn't cut it. Tacky. RECOMMENDATIONS: If you want to visit an excellent Asian restaurant that's only 5 minutes away, I highly recommend Ginger Café. If you're willing to drive 15 minutes to the big mall area in Coon Rapids, Ichiddo Ramen, Kyoto Sushi, and Osaka (a chain restaurant) are all good. These are different styles of Asian food but they're light years ahead of Bamboo Village. -Maxx

Allegedly Que Viet Egg Rolls

The sign claimed to sell Que Viet egg rolls so we picked up a couple along with pot stickers. As a frequent diner at Que Viet, I was excited. When we got home, we could not be more disappointed. The filling in both were unrecognizable. It was basically deep fried sausage rolls and nuggets. I'm ending the review now because I don't want to spend anymore time thinking about how these were made. The only thing Que Viet about these egg rolls is the name. I've had better egg rolls from Trader Joe's.

Like others on here, we had an eclectic experience…read more We started the night having a drink at Nucky's downstairs. Raves about there! Service was attentive, and the staff were all dressed in peiod garb to add to the experience. The drinks were great and less pricey than you would expect for a place like this. Club 300 was different however. We were seated quickly and asked for our drink order... But then things went a little off.. The hostess came back after 10 minutes and said our waiter was busy and she would take care of us. After taking our order she was gone again for a good while, and did check in on us maybe once more. Didn't put a stopwatch on our order but it was definitely a good 40-50 minutes before our dinner was ready-- even though only less than half the tables were full. Restaurant speed needs a little work. No complaints about our food however, I had the spicy Thai basil and the beef was tender and flavorful and portion size was good, and my wife also was pleased with her order. We've been to a number of the fancier restaurants in the Cities (Forpaughs, Ruth's Chris, Ocean aire, etc.) so we know what fine dining looks like-- and would have to say they don't match up to them and seem to have some things to learn in the little things (finer silverware, attention to detail by the waiter, etc.) but they seem to be trying and learning. Definitely worth the price, and we'll be back.

I can't even say I "checked in" here. Sis and I wanted…read moreSunday brunch and I saw on FB post that they had affordable brunch options. Plus, I've wanted to try this place for a while. Parking was easy on the lot behind the building, next to the Big White House. The building must be having renovations as there was scaffolding all around it, with a main staircase entryway covered to protect people from things falling. We walked in and I was impressed by the look of the entryway. Rich architecture history from the old post office. We waited for a hostess to either take our name or bring us to a table but no one ever came. There was 2 women with 2 kids sat at a low table in the entryway, near the bathroom. And I could see the dining room filled with families with little kids. I observed that no one was eating but had water glasses filled. I saw a little boy (4yo??) walk out of the dining room, across the front entrance behind the hostess table and down an empty corridor.... no adult?? And then I watched one of the women at the low top table get up, walk down that same empty corridor and come back a few moments later a little perturbed. She muttered something to her table mate that piqued my interest. After seeing their empty water glasses and milk cups (kids), I asked if THEY had been served yet. The other lady said they had been waiting for over an hour. Everything was starting to add up. No one was eating. We hadn't been greeted after standing there for about 10 mins. I never saw any waitstaff either. Nope, not gonna do that. And we walked out. Maybe I'll try again, maybe I won't. Time will tell.

I was so impressed by the menu at first site. They had some dishes you only find in home cooking or in Vietnam. I tried the Canh Chua and Hot Pot "Fish". I was blown away by the flavors! The textures were very close. It was a little hard to tell if I should order up at the front counter or wait for service. I did get good service when they came and waited on me. The atmosphere is quiet and inviting. I was impressed by the whole setting! By the way, excellent portions! I was given a huge bowl of rice to supplement both of my entree dishes. I can't wait to come back and bring family/friends with next time.

The staff was very friendly when I picked up my order, which made the experience even better. I'm excited to come back and try more dishes!
