Black Bamboo is always a solid choice for a tasty meal. The food is freshly made and the staff pleasant. I've eaten here for years and will continue to do so for many more to come.
Very fresh, tasty food. Observed gluten - free and vegan requirements of our party. Fast, friendly service, fair prices. Very clean and efficient. Only a few tables, as this seems mostly focused in take out business. Would return when next in the area. Recommended
Just incredible!!! Best Chinese place around hands down!!!
The chicken with chinese vegetables tasted bad
AMAZING!!! If you get a chance to talk to Sonny, the owner, do so! He's an amazing guy to know! If I could give more than 5 stars be sure that I would!
Great food and service
Such an amazing and outstanding place!! The food taste great and the employees are very respectable. .. I recommend this to all my family and friends and everyone who is reading this and shout out to black bamboo for always being on point!! I've had many places to eat before for Chinese and nothing is compared to black bamboo. ..
The food at the Black bamboo Chinese restaurant was very delicious I would recommend people to go the service was great and the people work there were very polite I'll give it five stars
Great food, friendly service. Many vegan options. Very popular so can be a long wait for takeout on a Friday or Saturday night.
I went twice in one weekend with a friend. I have a gluten sensitivity and found it on the "find me gf" app. I ended up having a dish with the angel hair rice noodles, first with steak and then with chicken. Both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh and I didn't have any reactions. I also ordered the gluten free chicken teriyaki one day and the spring rolls. Both were incredibly tasty. My friend had the general tso chicken and had a slightly different experience. The first day it was excellent but the second day the chicken quality was sub-par (fatty and grissle). I saw someone complained about the front end girls, but each time everyone was very friendly. It is a take out style place with very little seating; however, we comfortably sat there to eat. I will definitely be going back. *Addition to previous review: I also experienced the chicken issue. It's the rubbery texture after cooking previously frozen food and then reheating. Not enough of an issue to refuse to go back but unpleasant.
Quick service, always busy, very popular. Small eat-in area, self-serve hot tea for diners or folks waiting for takeout. If you want any mods, just let 'em know more garlic or no zucchini or whatever. Very accommodating.
Great food I love it
Best Chinese restaurant in ct
Great food and service. 2nd time here, won't be the last. Check it out.
Tasty, clean and fresh Chinese food ... they also offer a healthy section... little bit on the $$$ side, compared to other Chinese places however, the food quality is much better.
Solid choice for take out, good quality.
Love black bamboo I have started ordering from the healthy menu and it is always delicious.
Good food; however the veggies were a bit over seasoned. I also wish the seating was more child friendly.
Nice place for a take out. Great food!
Black bamboo is you're regular Chinese take-out spot, however they are super clean and fresh and have a great vegan menu!! The staff is always nice and helpful as well!
Always a great meal and friendly staff.
The food here is consistently delicious. The manager seems to know everyone and gives a personal greeting. Only a few tables for dining in, (most do take out it seems) but it's clean and the staff is attentive. This is a great Chinese restaurant overall.
Lots of vegetarian options and great food.
We ordered from the vegetarian menu. Everything others have said about how good it is is true. Try the vegetarian ribs. You won't be disappointed. Mostly take-out, but they have a few very nice tables.
The food is delicious and the people working there are truly amazing.
It took some guts to open up a small restaurant right next to a well-established sit down Chinese restaurant in town. This place will usually be packed when you come to pick up your takeout food, but the food is excellent. Everything always tastes like it was freshly prepared, which is not something I can say for most small takeout restaurants. We think this is the best Chinese food in the area by far. On a busy night you may have to park around back.
The best gluten free egg rolls you'll find anywhere, no doubt. I don't understand some of the reviews on here. I've been here ~5 times and I love it, it's a kind of clean American-Chinese fusion with fresh ingredients and I hope it catches on. Nothing is greasy, only the best cuts of meat are used, the shrimp are all deveined and detailed. Everything I need is always in the bag, it's done on time, and the people are mostly friendly. I highly recommend the GF Singaporean Mei Fun if you like things spicy.
My favorite spot for Chinese food. Owner is thee best! Friendly and accommodating and knows you by name lol. The music is always on point.
Convenient location .upbeat staff and the Owner greets customers!! The Food is to die for!! Fast service,and even though parking is a challenge it's worth the wait!!love this place.
Very good quality food. Good atmosphere and music, friendly staff that always ask how the food is. A good place to grab a meal and sit down without needing to be waited on.
I can personally vouch for the food here being 100% better than all other Chinese restaurants in the area! Fresh veggies, not greasy, spicy. Best for pick-up/take-out as its small. Sunny, the owner is always very friendly and know his local frequent customers. ♡
This place is so good!
1st I would like to comment on the exemplary service we received from Kayla. I recently went vegan a few months ago so navigating where to eat especially out of town can become very difficult. This place with such a great find and I would literally travel to come back and eat here again!
Great food and fast service at a reasonable price
Wonderful chinese food at a decent price
Worst prices and they say the lunch special only includes the rice!! What?! Are you kidding me? Every other place includes the rice and you get your choice either egg roll, soup or soda. These people charge $7 a lunch portion with or without the rice!! So what’s the special?! Seriously and then it was cold broccoli and over cooked meat. Well I got tofu and it was like rubber. The sauce was like jello. Worst ever. And they claim 4.3 stars. No way. Go somewhere else people. There are better options.
Small & quaint seating area. The customer service wasn't bad but nothing special either. I've eaten at Black Bamboo twice & was not disappointed.
I drive an hour from home or if I'm coming back from outer town I make it my business to stop. Last night me and the family went to the Big E with nothing but goodies and after we left I call in my order.
Not bad friendly vybz
Shrimp to fried rice ratio on point! The pork steamed dumplings are heavenly!! Shout out to Sunny.
The only place I’ve found in CT with the faux veggie meats, which instantly qualifies it for 5 stars!
The best fake meat. Highly recommend the vegan boneless barbecue ribs. Also the vegan general tso's chicken. Also the vegan orange chicken. Basically can't go wrong with the vegan options at this place. I eat at this place every time I'm in the area at least once. And they deliver!? Amazing.
Best Chinese takeout around! The staff and owner are fabulous, the ingredients are fresh and if you ever feel like changing up your order make sure to ask for suggestions from the owner, he's great at getting me to try new things and I have enjoyed every dish I've gotten!
Hands down the best Chinese food around! Haven't had a bad experience yet, and to be honest I doubt I ever will. This is a must try!
Deliveries takes too long. For take outs you have to call an hour before. Always at almost full capacity. Sometimes I feel that they sacrifice quality in order to do everything quick and serve more people. I think they are better when they're not busy!
One star for the simple fact that this place is super expensive, even during lunch. The portion was very small, chicken was rubbery and they dont even offer an egg roll or anything with their platters. This will be my last time since I can spend less money elsewhere and get more of a bang for my buck.
Nice people, good food. Can take a while for your order during peak
Very basic food and employees aren’t the nicest.
It looks creepy
Tried veggie Low Mein with curry sauce...it was saucy...chef curry
Black bamboo is the best Chinese place in ct for a good reason. Great for quick take out and a small dining area. Sonny is the man, always friendly and looking out for his customers.
Food was cooked fresh, and everything but the wontons are made fresh from scratch! I had the orange chicken, house soup, chicken fried rice, and pork steamed dumplings. Everything was hot and fresh, and very generous portions. The duck sauce is amazing, and the soup actually had more ingredients than broth!
Amazing flavor and overall culinary experience with this restaurants food. As the dinner guest of friends the night before; where attempting to take leftovers would have been extremely tacky, I had to have more! Not exactly sure of the main dishes ordered, I called for an order and described the flavors and ingredients of the dishes with success - the food was that memorable - places the order and 25 minutes later my craving was soothed. I will definitely return for more and tell my friends about Black Bamboo...my new culinary taboo.
Might I say this was one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever tasted everything was fresh and delicious it gave me a Panda Express / PF Chang type of vibe when I ate it. Everything was on point even the Staff.. when I walked into the restaurant everything was organized & cleaned unlike most Chinese restaurants in Hartford. I try not to eat Chinese Food like that, but Black Bamboo will definitely get my money again looking forward to trying more things on the menu.
Best Chinese restaurant I've been too, fresh delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
The best Chinese food CT has to offer without a doubt. If you’re in the area. Come here. Best fried rice I’ve ever had. Period. Diabetic friendly because they don’t oversweeten the sauces
Tons of flavor. Great food. Will be back for sure.
The menu is diverse and has great options. The general tsos chicken sauce was gummy and not spicy at all. I've had better. The orange chicken was not able to be ordered in the dinner special. Overall the food was 4 star, BUT i was very annoyed with the delivery policy. Even though I was located less than 4 miles away, apparently because my address was not technically in West Hartford, they couldn't deliver. Keep in mind I am MAYBE 0.5 miles from the West Hartford/Bloomfield line. So that was dumb and I probably won't ever order again.
Love black bamboo, the other guy is nuts. This place has the best Chinese food that doesn't leave you feeling like crap after you eat it. Source: am eating it right now.
Best american chinese. The spicy general tso chicken is delicious.
One of the best places to get Chinese in Hartford.
Always friendly and the food is so good
Sonny is pleasant and food is excellent
This is by far one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. I really enjoy the vegan section of the menu. I have tried the vegan drumsticks and the vegan orange chicken.I recommend both. The food is so good and the portions are big. Not only do I enjoy the food, but the service is great too. I mistakenly left my purse at home once, the owner gave me my food anyway and trusted me to call with my card when I got home. He trusted me to do the right thing and that meant a lot to me. Great customer service and food. I can't wait to come here again.
Always the best
Based on a 4.2 review score and some misleading reviews, I invited a work colleague here. This is not a sit down restaurant and the food is very basic. Staff is friendly but seem to be working at temp jobs through college/ high school and know little about their own menu. I ordered take home “plain” beef for my son with allergies. I was clear that I wanted “no seasoning”. They sold me beef that was marinated and called it “plain”. I don’t think the girl knew the difference. But when I called to complain, she was rude and insisted the meat was plain when it wasn’t! That is just wrong. They should have refunded my card. The place is very tiny. Maybe 10 cramped seats where you’re touching knees with other diners in a 10x10 square that is shared with a beverage freezer. It is more of a take out place than sit down. Food is economical. It’s quick-made, efficiency food that is overpriced for what it is. It’s fine if you’re hungry and need something fast and don’t need a special order and aren’t on a health conscious diet. and aren’t looking for atmosphere. And fine is fine. But they should refund wrong orders, know their menu and reviewers should not mislead people about the type of restaurant this is.
Best Authentic Chinese Food in the Hartford area!
If there is better Chinese takeout...I doubt it...tell me where.
Not sure whats going on with this place but it's not like it use to be . Good luck placing an order !
Hands down THE BEST Chinese food l've ever had IN MY LIFE and l've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants. The food is so fresh and the taste
Fantastic drinks. Kitchen is spotless
Food was great best Chinese food I have had in a long time. Friendly faces... love it.
Great food as always. Servers are really good.
Great service and fantastic food. I have to say hands down. Best in CT
Still the best Chinese food in the area
Food is great, but when it gets busy they can not handle the crush.
Clean, no MSG and delicious. Not the cheap Chinese food joint. Quality food, reasonable price. $$
I wish that they're environment was more environmental, but they're food is awesome! Perfect for takeout :)
One star off for service... seriously black bamboo, if you read this please tell your employees to be somewhat courteous. Not the driver/s, they're great. And your food is great, no complaints there. But the employee who took my order today over the phone had a huge beef with me for some reason, even before she picked up the phone :/
Best Chinese in the area and always willing to work with my whacky dietary restrictions. Love, love, love them! Sonny treats you like an old friend. Mostly a takeout place, and they DELIVER!!!!
The best fast Chinese in CT! It's BYOB as well so be sure you stop by the amazing package store next door.
Best place for Chinese in west hartford or Hartford. Never greasy, always flavorful, feel-good Chinese. Nice customer service, fast turn around, clean interior - even a good spot for a date.
The typical Chinese takeout, but so much tastier and fresh. Little on the pricier side, but if you are looking for the best in the area, look no further.
The vegan dishes are amazing, especially the drumsticks and BBQ spare ribs. Great pricing and fast delivery. Love this place.
Sunny the owner is a great guy and makes great food.
Food is tasty for the most part and the price is good. I mean if you live in Connecticut, price shouldn't matter. My only issue is that whenever I order a meat dish, the Vegans stare me down untiI finish.
Food was cooked fresh, and everything but the wontons are made fresh from scratch! I had the orange chicken, house soup, chicken fried rice, and pork steamed dumplings. Everything was hot and fresh, and very generous portions. The duck sauce is amazing, and the soup actually had more ingredients than broth!
Good quality chinese food, a bit pricey though
VEGAN / VEGGIES - Not only does this place have endless veg options, they care enough to double check with you if they think you ordered meat by mistake, clearly have their menu marked, and just now (I'm not really a regular customer) called me back with "they, all of your past orders were vegetarian. Did you mean to order pork?" (I ordered them for a friend.) <3 Super awesome humans.
Best Chinese take out I have had
Finally found quality chinese food!
Stay away from the Hunan Chicken. It's addictive!
Let me tell you. I was stuck at the hospital in Hartford with the kids. They are gluten and dairy free. This place was more than accommodating and gave me plates. Fast delivery also. I would HIGHLY recommend.
Great Place to Eat. I have tried almost everything on their menu to no disappointment. We moved away but still have to stop by on our way back out of town to get a few orders of their chicken wings. Only a few make the entire trip.
Really good food. Clean tasting. Way better than a lot of the other places I've tried. Fast service too. No complaints
Take out & next to the 'licka stoe.' A
Great food, great service. Whenever the chance to swing by and grab some food is presented I'm always happy to take it. Have had a few issues with being given the wrong order but this is very rare.
I called and ask for delivery they said they only deliver to the hospital I live right across the st she demanded they only deliver there ......
The food was great! I tasted food it was delicious!
This is my favorite spot for Chinese food. The vegan options are my favorite! There are always pleasant staffers and a great atmosphere, including tables to sit.
Always high quality food. Always the best service. Honestly for a takeout Chinese place this has got to be the best that I've ever had. Both in taste and in texture of the food. Deffinately worth the price!
Always a great meal! My wife can eat gluten free and not worry about getting sick from cross contamination. Even though we've only been there about 5 times, the owner remembers us and always takes care of her.
Love the fresh ingredients they use. The staff are always friendly
Great food at a reasonable price. Yes it sometimes does take a few tries to get through on the phone during busy hours BUT ITS WORTH THE WAIT. By far the best Chinese food in Hartford county. Try the chicken wings their to die for.
Customer service is the best. And the food? Always great!!!
Their dumplings are perfect, thickly wrapped in dough with a juicy meat center. I like them fried but they're just as good steamed. The general tsos and fried rice are classically good: nothing extraordinary but enjoyable. They know my name there when I call for delivery. I think that says a lot about how I feel about them. Long story short Black Bamboo is amazing, give them a try - you will not be disappointed.
Good food, good price, and consistently fast. The folks here are also super nice. Not my favorite but definitely my third favorite chinese place in the area.
Best Chinese food I have ever had!
Excellent food, staff, atmosphere. Feels like home.
I asked for 17 orders of Shrimp with black bean sauce because I'm having a big party for one of my friends and the guy thought I was ridiculous and told me not to call again. FIRE HIM!!!
Good Chinese take-out. For a sit down dinner go to Shu on Shield Street or Han Hot Pot on Prospect.
Best Chinese food by far in West Hartford
Our new favorite take out!
Favorite Chinese restaurant for someone with a gluten sensitivity!
Food is not good..but the people were great!!!
Very efficient, clean and food was fresh.
Best Chinese take out in the state!
Not only is Black Bamboo my favorite Chinese food restaurant in CT, but the only one I'll eat from! Food is ALWAYS fresh and no questionable meats/poultry. Prices are great considering the quality. Whether delivery, take out or a quick stop to eat in, they never disappoint. The service is great and the owner, Sonny, truly cares about his customers- as exhibited by his sincerity.
Delicious food and excellent customer service. Very accommodating for gluten free diet.
Great food. Very pleasant staff. You can tell the veggies are fresh and not frozen. I strongly recommend the crab Rangoon.
Loved
I would eat here every single day if I could. The food is great, the people are great, and food is always served right away.
1st time there. My co-workers swear by this place. The food was nasty and tasteless. I had the boneless ribs with shrimp fried rice and order of golden fingers. I ate 3 to 4 spoonfuls of the rice with 3 shrimps. Golden fingers wasn't fully cooked funny taste. I threw the food in the garbage. I should've went to the north end of Hartford to get my food!!! At least I know what to expect for my money. Expensive for what?
Always great ... I ordered my special the vegetable lo mein in curry sauce with vegan spare ribs!!
Excellent quality. Friendly service.
I found hairs on sesame chicken.and bonlees spare n bar b q ribs the 're old that's what they put the red sauce on it so you will know the taste of old meat
Best Chinese in the state
Over all best place in CT to get quality takeout. The food is amazing it really is a rarity like the name suggests.
Good food but veggie lo-mein had very few vegetables and moo- shoo veggies was almost all cabbage. Tasty, though!
Disappointing after all the hype, unfortunately over rated. Went a few weeks ago for take out lunch and ordered a basic item- General Tso's chicken with pork fried rice (combo meal), also got a shrimp roll. About $10. A guy, possibly the manager, was talking this up as a great deal. I was thinking you usually get that whole order as a combo meal for $7-8 at any Chinese fast food spot but withheld comment because I wanted to try the food first, thinking maybe it was better quality. Chicken was soggy which should not be. There was also a strange taste to the sauce that I couldn't quite put my finger on, made it a bit souring. The pork fried rice was pork fried rice because the rice was fried, and there was pork in it- 2 pieces to be exact that just about equaled a forkful. What? Really?! Shame laoban (boss). Really didn't find the food to be any better than any other Chinese fast food spot in the area, would not return or recommend.
Delicious Oriental food and excellent service, really recommend to come this place
Great food, excellent service and value. I highly recommend you eat here.
After several minutes on hold.... person answered phone, mentioned we wanted delivery and they immediately hung up.
Excellent Chinese. Fresh, light and high-quality. Not greasy. Very friendly staff. Best in West Hartford.
Best Chinese food around and friendly staff!!!
My family's 1st time ordering from here. The food was really good for my CT experience. I'm from MA and Chinese food is good. The c chicken wings and crab ragoons were my favorite. Would definitely order from here again.
The best Chinese take out! Hands down!!
It was a great place and the food was delicious.
Love their gluten free options and fresh veggies in dishes.
I absolutely love this place! You get so much for your money!!! The owner and staff are friendly and are always giving me recommendations!!! Everything I’ve had thus far has been full of flavor and delicious!!!! Thanks black bamboo for making such yummy food!!!
Black Bamboo is not a sit down restaurant with wait staff and drinks, it is more of a take out restaurant. The owner is terrific. The front staff is not as personable. Most of the times I’ve stopped in to pick up an order, the young women at the counter always seem annoyed that they have to work. The delivery drivers are always nice. The food is good; not phenomenal. American Chinese and not authentic Chinese.
Food is crave able and leaves a desire to visit again. Vegetarian options are marvelous.
Best Chinese to go in the area. Fresh vegetables and fast service.
The food was good, nothing to write home about. However, not everything in their menu was available. I went at dinnertime, and for some reason they couldn't make me any of the dinner combos, very disappointing.
Consistently very good and quick takeout. Also feels like the healthiest Chinese food in the area - fresh ingredients, not overly salty our saucy.
Amazing clean good food
Pretty solid food the rice and egg rolls are the best around. Don't expect a lot of flavor out of the main chicken dishes. I have asked for extra spicy and it never comes out spicy at all. I think their sauces are too sweet.
The freshest Chinese food I’ve ever had for great prices.
Good food for the price
Great and amazing Chinese food, quality of food is exceptional.
So I went into this lil shop and right off the bat I loved the energy. Reggae music playing, diversity between the employees, the girls behind the counter were sooo sweet. And the vegan menu looked amazing. Since I gave up meat I haven’t been able to enjoy Chinese food the same way that’s the one cuisine I loved and now never eat bc of my food choices. So when I saw vegan orange chicken (my fav during my meat eating days) I was ecstatic! And it’s made of seitan not just another tofu replacement! I can’t even tell you how good it was I am so impressed with this place. Thank you guys so much for not only having a vegan friendly menu but actually putting in the effort to make it so good! Even my meat eating family loved what little amount I saved for them! I haven’t enjoyed a Chinese meal like this in sooo long. This experience actually just made my day I seriously encourage everyone to go try this place!
Fresh ingredients, no pretensions. Just excellent Chinese food.
Best Chinese food in CT. The Chow Mei Fun is amazing, the crab rangoons are the best around, and the fried rice is perfect. That said, the place is extremely small (think NYC takeout small) so plan to get takeout. There are probably a dozen seats available, but it's really cramped. The parking lot can be a headache too, but there's more parking around the side and back of the building. Definitely worth a try.
Fast, friendly, exceptional service that compliments the quality food, and great Vegan options; never dissatisfied!
Love this place. Great fresh veggies. Only a bit too salty sometimes. Food is swimming in sauce in some dishes.
Although we have enjoyed this Chinese take out before, we no longer do. The vegetable fried rice did not have any vegetables and was basically steamed brown rice with peas. That is not what most would consider vegetable fried rice. I don't know what happened, but it seems their quality and consistency have gone way down. It's a shame since they did have decent food a few months ago.
Food is terrific. Employees are friendly and willing to make any changes if requested. Great environment and music!
Worst most overpriced food we have ever had. We always go to greentea which is by far the best around but is in the middle of moving locations. So tried this place since nearby. All we got was pork fried dumplings, crab rangoons and egg rolls and literally is the worst food we have ever had. Threw out 90% of the food.... that was overpriced as is (40$ for a couple appetizers). Undercooked. Chewy, barely any meat and no flavor. Just plain awful. Would never go back again and recommend the same to anyone else. Go to GreenTea if want great Chinese!
