I've been going to Bamboo Walk for a while now, and the food never disappoints. Everything is consistently delicious, and the overall experience is always great. There's something about the atmosphere that makes it feel like I'm dining in Manhattan or even out of town--it's a nice escape from the usual neighborhood spots. The service is another standout. The staff is warm, attentive, and truly makes you feel welcome every time you walk in. That level of hospitality is a big part of why I keep coming back. Food-wise, the oxtail pasta is a must--rich, flavorful, and always hits. And you really can't go wrong with the jerk dishes, which are always a favorite and consistently done well. That said, I do want to mention the automatic 20% gratuity. I completely understand that times have changed with inflation, and I respect the industry--I've worked in restaurants myself. But traditionally, gratuity started around 15%, and it wasn't typically added at the bar. A fixed 20% on every bill feels a bit steep. Because of that, what used to be a regular go-to spot is starting to feel more like a place I'd reserve for special occasions. Still, the quality of the food and service remain top-notch. read more

Came here for the first time on a date. Right in Brooklyn carribean fusion restaurant. It was the drive thu that got me; very smart and great idea and very innovative for a restaurant to have that's not fast food. My waitress Natasha was wonderful! There's outside seating which you can see from walking up. The door looks very fancy and it fits the decor inside. The decor is nice with a full bar and ample space for large groups. It's very romantic. Dj was on point. The Food: Our appetizer was the chili shrimp which was good. They also gave us bread with 3 dipping sides: (Garlic butter, olive oil, and tomatoe). I liked the tomatoe dip, the others didn't taste like anything. My date ordered the curry chicken which he enjoyed. He said, it was flavorful and tasted good. Of course being haitian I opted for the Tassot (fried goat), which came with black rice and veges. The food was good and veges were done well; very tasty. Ford drinks I had the elderflower drink with gin, I thought it would've been purple but it was pretty and reminded me of a mojito. The Jueness red wine was good. My date had a drink made with Henny and he liked it. I will definitely go back and would reccomend anyone to try it. read more

We were looking for an eat- in restaurant near Kings plaza with good reviews and Bamboo Walk fit the bill. Service from Fayanne was good and the food was really well seasoned and everything wasn't nicely cooked. I highly recommend the fried goat-tender, flavorful, very tasty. Steak, while cooked over what was requested was also expertly seasoned and tasty. The restaurant boasts green hanging plants and wood with a full bar and plenty of seating-indoor and a separate area that can be a private space. We would definitely return if in the area. read more

I decided to take my family here for a family dinner to spend some quality time and have great food. From the outside decor you can tell that this is a luxe environment. The decor inside was very intentional to give a luxury high class feel of fine dining. Food: 3.9/5 I'd say the food was delicious but there were few things that stood out to me. I ordered a few appetizers : calamari, and the conch salad. Both were amazing flavorful and the portion size for the calamari was really good and the dipping sauce which was a chipotle mayo was delish. I ordered jerk salmon and rice off the menu as my family members got fish and chips and a red snapper. The price point is between moderate and pricey but well worth it. Service: 4/5 staff was very attentive, kind & very helpful. They even had a love Dj playing early 2000's and mid 80's music which was such a nice vibe and a little bit of dancehall but he mixed so well. Ambiance: 5/5 so so nice. I loved it from the decor to the sitting area to the bathroom. Very spacious great for large parties, small birthday gatherings , date night and just to have dinner for 2 or catch up with someone. read more

I'm so late with this post. My sisters and I came to Brooklyn to visit a bridal store, Pantora, And were recommended this restaurant. From greeting to seating, the ambience was beautiful. The staff was so warm and friendly. Everyone paid attention and gave us the upmost service. It was almost like we were part of their family. The food portions were large and well worth it. The food was so flavorful, and the drinks were exquisite. We are actually scheduled to go back for my sister's birthday all the way from New Jersey Monday. We actually begged to have them open one closer in New Jersey, must visit. I can imagine the weekends being so much fun in the evening. This will definitely be my spot when in the area. Sorry, didn't remember everyone's name from the bartender to the server to the hostess. You were all amazing and deserve five stars. read more

I've been here a few times but only at the drive thru. That's one of the perks of visiting this establishment. They also have a lunch special menu which is priced reasonably. At the drive thru sometimes there's a wait depending on what you are ordering-maybe 10 mins or so. I heard the inside is beautiful but again I haven't been. read more

A Tropical Escape in the Middle of Brooklyn! I found myself in Brooklyn after work one early evening with a serious craving for Caribbean food. With the commute looking like over an hour, I decided to wait out the traffic and finally check out Bamboo Walk. I'd seen it all over Instagram and TikTok, and the consensus was that this place is a "must-visit." The social media hype is real! Here is why it's going on my short list: The Vibe: The decor is absolutely beautiful and transcendent. I honestly felt like I had been transported to a tropical island. It's the perfect escape from the city grind. The Drinks: They weren't just great--they were REALLY great. Perfectly balanced and definitely hit the spot. The Food: Everything was delicious. It's "refined" Caribbean dining at its best, keeping the authentic flavors but leveling up the presentation. The Service: The staff was super-friendly and welcoming, which really added to the island hospitality feel. If you're looking for a top-tier Caribbean dining experience, Bamboo Walk is it. Whether you're dodging traffic or planning a night out, don't miss this gem! read more

We had the most wonderful experience celebrating my husband's birthday at Bamboo Walk. It was just the three of us (my husband, our three-year-old daughter, and me) and from start to finish, everything was phenomenal. The service was truly outstanding. Our server Jenell was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. The entire staff was kind, pleasant, and genuinely happy, which made the atmosphere feel even more special. The cocktails were amazing, perfectly mixed and just the right strength. Even our daughter felt included, as they had both adult menus and a kids menu, which she loved ordering from herself. For food, we started with the sampler. Everything was flavorful, beautifully presented, and came out quickly. We also ordered the escovitch snapper with black rice and a stir-fried chicken dish with black rice. Every single dish was seasoned perfectly, generous in portion, and absolutely delicious. To top it off, they brought out cheesecake with a birthday sparkler and took professional pictures. This made the moment feel extra thoughtful and memorable. The ambiance was cozy and romantic with beautiful decor. You honestly forget you're on Utica Avenue once you're inside. It felt intimate, special, and well worth the price. We left feeling celebrated, well-fed, and already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend for date night, celebrations, or even a family dinner with little ones. read more

I pass this restaurant every day and I've been meaning to try it out because I've heard great things, and i was not disappointed. The food was great! The drinks were also really good and strong. I made a reservation just because i wanted to ensure that the table was available. The service was a 10/10 as well. The decor and ambiance is very nice. The restaurant was very beautifully decorated inside, and they gave us hot towels after our meals to freshen up our hands. They had fresh bread with 3 different compote butters on the side. The bread was delicious and that garlic butter was great. The griot i had was so good. The black rice on the side was an extra $16 which i thought was a little much, because it wasn't a large size of rice and it had no protein in it. So that was a little sticker shock. But the rice was just okay lol. The plantain were good and the stir fry was good too. My friends enjoyed their meals of Caesar salad with jerk chicken and the bamboo pasta with shrimp. My friend ordered a lychee martini and sorrel punch and each was good. I ordered a Hennessy punch to drink and it was delicious and the right amount of Hennessy. All in all, I'll will be back.

Visited Bamboo Walk twice. the first time after our reservation, our party was able to walk in and be served. This last time after our reservation, we waited approximately 45 minutes before being seated, and 1 hr and 10 minutes before our food finally was served to our table. It was a very busy night with lots of Graduation/Birthdays. I thought the Ambiance was beautiful, food was ok, service ok, but find the prices on the menu pretty expensive. Will just stick to drinks/appetizers next time. read more

My friend and I wanted to go somewhere for a girls chat and a drink and eats. I was drawn to this place because I saw on social media that a carribean restaurant had a drive thru and I was intrigued because it was a different concept. I didn't need to use it today but I did want to try the restaurant. When we arrived we just made it in time for the end of happy hour so we ordered a round of Bahama Mamas. We also got appetizers. Codfish Fritters and Calamari. We did wait quite a while for the appetizers that I was good for the night. The appetizers were definitely worth the wait but now I know that next time I visit I need to come prepared to wait. The drinks were great, we ended up ordering another round. After we ate and drank, the waitress brought us a wet warm towel to wipe our hands. I was very impressed about the level of care towards the patrons. The bathroom was very clean but we were missing soap on the shared outside sink. the establishment was very clean as well and the bar was beautifully stocked and illuminated. I will definitely be back and do recommend. Just please be a little patient. read more

Enjoyed my experience at Bambo Walk! The food was amazing. Natacha and her team provided excellent customer service. We came for my niece's and cousin's birthday dinner, it was a large group. Food and drinks still came out in a timely fashion and the staff was attentive to our needs. The oxtail and lamb chops were definitely the stars of the show. The ambiance is moody and sexy. Perfect for an intimate date night or a large birthday gathering how we had. The music is also great but still a nice touch of class! read more

First time trying Caribbean food and WOW... I'm officially obsessed! I had to try everything -- no regrets! Started with a sampler of sweet plantains, juicy shrimp, crispy wings, and tender pork. Then the entrée sampler took it to another level: rich oxtail, flavorful goat, perfectly spiced jerk chicken, and that comforting rice. And to top it all off? The croissant pudding... the perfect sweet finish. Already planning my next visit! If you're looking for fine dining & top notch service and a tropical island ambiance, this is your place to go! read more

Bamboo walk is a really nice upscale Caribbean restaurant. The atmosphere was a cool relaxing vibe. The food was DELICIOUS, every item was just great. We started with the codfish fritters, jerk wings and pepper shrimp. The presentation was on point. The codfish fritters had a nice crispy crunch and it came with a delicious sauce. The jerk wings were seasoned extremely well and were bursting with flavor. The pepper shrimp was exactly that - full of pepper seasoning and was presented in a pepper sauce. For our entree we had the curry goat, bamboo pasta with shrimp and the sweet chili shrimp. The curry goat was very tender and full of flavor. The Bamboo pasta had a nice flavor and blended well with the shrimp. The sweet chili shrimp was really good, had a nice sweet spicy flavor. We were very happy with our choices. We were lucky that we arrived in time to catch the end of their happy hour so we were able to order a few rounds of drinks. We ordered the Bahama Mama and French Martini. The drinks were just as good as the food. We had a great experience at Bamboo walk. The staff were very helpful, polite and provided top notch service. read more

Bamboo Walk Caribbean Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered a meal thru their drive thru service (I think it's an absolutely ingenious idea & I applaud them for it) which SHOULD have been quick and easy. The wait was 30+ minutes, with no notice on how long the food would take until I finally got fed up and honked my horn to get an employees' attention. The food finally arrived piping hot, (which was a plus), because i knew that meant it was cooked fresh however, when I got it home, it was a disappointment. The pasta was bland, with very little flavor. The salmon was overcooked & dry and the "steamed" vegetables were overcooked as well. I had heard and read so many good things about this restaurant, I was excited to try it but, I highly doubt I'll be back. read more

Wanted to come to this restaurant for a long time. Came here on a Saturday around 9pm. The place was PACKED to capacity. Had a short wait to be seated. As I was seated our server gave us time to look over the menu. He was a really nice & attentive also making suggestions. My friend and I ordered a drink which were not as strong as we would've liked. An Appetizer of codfish fritters to share. For the entrees my friend had Jerk Chicken Pasta & I had the fried goat (Tassot) with black rice and veggies. Her jerk chicken and pasta was good. Can't go wrong with that simple dish. My food on the other hand... Everything was lukewarm warm. My veggies were on the cold side. So it seemed as though they microwaved my food before serving. The black rice was not good, It was bland and they didn't use the right type of rice. The veggies were also blah, nothing special. The ambiance & service makes the restaurant a quality place but the price for the food ($160) vs what's given does not go hand in hand. I personally wouldn't return. I've tried the other restaurants where the food was better but less in price. read more

It took me a while to visit this place. It is a beloved establishment in many groups I am a part of. Such is the case that when a family member wanted recommendations for their post graduation lunch, it came to mind. I appreciated the fact that they were willing to accommodate our last minute request for 8 people (not my choice I swear). It was immensely kind and their servers displayed a similar great attitude throughout our experience. The decor was definitely designed for a going out experience as opposed to a casual eatery (which there are many in the area). There were many options on the menu to have a drink (alcoholic or not) and enjoy a nice meal. The service was a bit slow at times but then again this was high school graduation season so there were many families there for the same reason we were. I think things would be even better when it isn't so popular. Our order came out correctly with all we wanted to order. I was a huge fan of the pepper shrimp (appetizer) and the calamari was fresh and warm (appetizer). The lamb chops I ordered had a great sauce and was technically cooked to my liking. However it wasn't my favorite lamb chops in terms of pure lamb flavor. The portions for all of our dishes were decent. At the end, they gave my relative a cake slice to celebrate her graduation. I overall had a good experience and could recommend someone going there for a special occasion. I would just book it in advance just for ease. read more

This restaurant is nothing less than amazing. I've been here twice this year for dinner and was thrilled. There's so many options to select from on the menu. I love the Bamboo Rum Punch. I've had the codfish fritters, crab cakes, and sweet chilli shrimp for starters. As far as entrée is concerned, I've had the shrimp pasta and oxtail pasta. I topped it off with a slice of carrot cake for dessert. This venue is lovely; great customer service. You're greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is spacious with a full bar, lots of seating and there's even a drive-thru for takeout! I'm looking forward to coming back here soon for brunch. read more

My wife and I visited Bamboo Walk in Brooklyn for a date night, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Parking was our first challenge -- the restaurant's small shared lot (with a funeral home next door) only has a few spaces, so we ended up finding street parking about two blocks away. Once inside, we were greeted warmly by the hostess. The Caribbean-inspired décor, with its warm lighting and beautiful details, instantly transported us to the islands. The seating arrangement felt intimate and perfect for a date night. Our server, Jackson, was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and even had a few jokes that made the night more enjoyable. We started with bread and water while waiting for our meals. I ordered the Braised Oxtail with rice and peas and seasonal vegetables -- the oxtail was cooked to perfection, tender enough to fall right off the bone, and full of flavor. The rice and vegetables were just right. My wife had the Korean BBQ wings (soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil) with macaroni and cheese and sweet plantains. While she enjoyed the plantains, she found the wings and mac & cheese to be just okay. A unique touch was having a photographer on-site who took our photos. A few minutes later, they returned with them in glass picture frames. It was a lovely keepsake idea -- although at $20 each plus tax, it was definitely a pricey surprise. For dessert, we shared a slice of Red Velvet cake, which was a nice way to end the meal. I had a rum punch and my wife enjoyed a piña colada -- both were well-made and satisfying. Overall, Bamboo Walk delivered great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and a solid dining experience. While not every dish was a hit, I'd come back again, especially for the ambiance, the oxtail, and the warm, friendly service. read more
