    Sesame chicken
    Tracy E.

    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.

    $61 spent here tonight and it was terrible. My husband called in the order to pick up at 6pm. Our order of $5 hot & sour soup was completely missing from the bag. The egg rolls were overcooked and gross. The person taking the order was rude and could care less if we ordered from the business. We have eaten here many times but we will no longer be ordering from Bamboo Village.

    Delicious, authentic Vietnamese in the Blaine area. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the place…read moreand its parking lot was packed. Always a good sign. It shares a space as you walk in with a Boba place Mia and More. The servers were quick to take our name and seat us within 10 Mn. Simple menu with everything you would want. My only gripe as a vegetarian that there were limited options. But I asked them to take out fish sauce from my mock duck salad and they quickly understood and asked if I wanted a soy sauce instead. The salad was fresh, and mock duck sautéed well. We also had the Bun Bo Hue, which was told to me as better than the places on Eat Street such as Quang. So good was very good and service was fast. They have a large private parking lot. And longer tables for bigger parties of people. No Apple Pay to tap.

    My wife and I stopped by Pho Viet 126. She had the sample platter and I went with the vermicelli…read morenoodles with chicken and shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The decor was nice, the restaurant was clean, and you could tell the staff took pride in helping customers and keeping the tables cleared and ready. Service was solid the whole time. Even though they were busy, the owner still came over to check on us, which I appreciated. Parking wasn't the easiest, but the food more than made up for it. We don't live close, but this is definitely a place we'll make the drive back to.

    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.

The group sat in front of us received their dinners at 9:30 PM. We ordered two Ribeyes and a Filet steak dinners. Filet was 1" thick max. The ribeyes arrived in three pieces, cooked on all edges and definitely not to ordered temperature. Who precuts and cooks a ribeye steak like that?!? Brussels sprouts were burnt on one side. Service provider disappeared for 20+ minutes at a time. Disappointing all around. I would not recommend this place!
