Blue Bamboo

We have been to Blue Bamboo 3x now. The first experience was the best, we ordered the Shrimp Lo Mein, hot and sour soup plus Sichuan Beef Stir Fry. All of them were delicious, so we couldn't wait to go back and try their other dishes. Second time was also good, my husband enjoyed the ribs, we tried our friend's zucchini fries and that was addicting! I couldn't stop eating them! However, my Red Curry Shrimp and Grits was just okay. I like curry, but their version lacks the depth of the flavor I was looking for. The third time was a disappointment. I got the Chicken Sha La Noodles, again I like curry, so maybe this time it's better with the noodles and peanut butter sauce, it wasn't. The noodles was mushy and just lacks the richness flavor. The Generals Chicken was certainly not what we were expecting. It looks like a Chicken Katsudon. The crispy texture of the chicken was pleasant, but tasted bland.

Overall, we will still come back and just order what we previously liked or try the menu where you have to order 24 hours prior to your visit.

Finally...finally .... Finally! First timers that finally made it here after it first open we could catch a break coming here. And I will tell you this WE SHOULD Have CAME SOONER!!

Blue Bamboo is not your typical Asian cuisine or setup. At first glance the outside and don't get me started... the inside was amazing. Lots of room and the ambiance was relaxing yet interesting. We were greeted as soon as we came through the door and immediately got seated. Our waiter was very attending and gave excellent recommendations!

Drinks- Salted Caramel & TigerRita & Green Tea Cocktails
App - Fried Shrimp & Pork fried Potstickers
Entree - Lo Mein, Stir Fried Rice & Red Curry Shrimp and Grits w/ Chicken add on.

First, let me start with the drinks they were The best I've had at a restaurant here in Mandarin. Handcrafted drinks with the most unexpected taste that make you ask what else is in it? NADINE (Bartender "excuse the name misspell") is truly a gifted Mixologist. Single one women show putting out the best drinks with amazing presentation. Can't go wrong with the drink menu. Wish I could try every one but then we would have a problem getting home lol.

From the appetizers to the entrée, it was everything to be desired. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits with red curry spicy. The grits were deep-fried in Panko like crust, topped with sautéed onions and peppers with shrimp and me personally I added chicken. I was also suggested the duck dish, but will save that for next time now lastly, don't forget the desserts we took home the orange marmalade cake and let's just say it was so good I forgot to even take a picture of it!

Now the most interesting part of the experience here is, they have automated robots that bring your dishes straight to your table (of course, with assistance by the waiter) it was pretty cool.

To close it up, this place is great for anybody in the mood for various Asian taste, coming as a group or just as a dinner date, or even a venue to host a large group. Blue bamboo does it all with a little twist. Kudos to management thank you for coming to check on our table. All of your employees were proactive and never to good to help with the little things throughout our sitting. Great job!

Recently came here to try out their monthly dimsum special. Ambience is very nice as it is spacious. Presentation of food was very fancy. However, the dimsum did not taste like the authentic dimsum.
Lotus sticky rice barely had any chicken/meat. The sesame ball and pineapple buns tasted a little odd. Waiter was very nice and attentive though.
Would not come again unless the chef improves the quality of the food. Try Tim Wah for more authentic dimsum.

Our waitress was so friendly and we really enjoyed our dinner here last night! We started with the potstickers (steamed) and edamame. The potstickers came with a delicious ginger sauce which was very different than normal! We loved it!!!! The edamame could have used some additional salt and sauce. We asked for soy sauce on the side. I got the beef and broccoli and it was delicious, the sauce that it was marinated in was sooooo good. The beef was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed this place and found out they have cooking classes too! We might be back for one of those or a dim sum night!

Never had. Bad experience in this restaurant. Food is always in point. Servers are friendly and very accommodating. Drinks are very innovative. This is one of our favorite restaurants.

Our experience at Blue Bamboo's Vietnamese dinner experience that we paid $60 per ticket left much to be desired. From start to finish, our taste buds were bombarded with an onslaught of fried foods. Fried pork, fried onions, fried rice cakes, and yes, even the dumplings were fried - a perplexing departure from traditional Vietnamese culinary practices.

To compound matters, each dish seemed to be only flavored with ginger, devoid of any unique taste or balance. It felt as though the kitchen had run out of ideas and resorted to dousing everything in ginger. Furthermore, one dish with rice was devoid of any seasoning or salt, leaving us with a bland and uninspired dish to the already lackluster dinner.

Despite our evident dissatisfaction, the manager never intervened or addressed our concerns. It was a missed opportunity for Blue Bamboo to rectify the situation and salvage the dining experience. In conclusion, our visit to Blue Bamboo for the Vietnamese dinner was a regrettable waste of time and money, marked by a lack of creativity, authenticity, and basic culinary competence.

Great food and service. This is an upscale Asian sit down restaurant good for dinners with family or a nice date spot. There's a little robot that brings your food to your table which is a fun little bonus too.

My cousin told me about their robot server so I had to check it out myself. Not only was it super cool to have your food brought out to you by a robot, the food was delicious.

We started out with the Fried Pork Potstickers and Lettuce Wraps. Fabulous. The Lettuce Wrap was the perfect amount of spiciness for my taste.

For our main dish, I had the Honey Garlic Shrimp. OMG! It was soooo tasty. My wife and daughter had their Pepper Steak & Lo Mein. I had some of the Lo Mein and it too was delicious. I didn't get to sample the Pepper Steak since my daughter devoured it before I could steal a piece of beef, but she said it was wonderful.

We ended the meal with their Mandarin Orange Cake. Sorry, no picture, but Holy Smokes! Probably one of my favorite cakes. It satisfied my sweet tooth, but was not too sweet. I could have easily eaten the whole slice by myself. But I was kind and shared with the family. Sharing is Caring right? =)

Food was fantastic, they have a robot server, and our main server Ashley was so kind and attentive to all our needs.

Thank you Blue Bamboo for a wonderful experience.

Great service! Ok food, overpriced and bland. Drinks were not good, the old fashion was nothing but simple syrup. The gunpowder drink was extremely tart and did not taste like anything but bad grapefruit.

Woo woo Blue Bamboo! Everything I had here knocked my socks off. Highly recommend this gem. The robot delivering food also is a great show.
