Reviews of Bamboo Cafe (Restaurant)

Stacy

A friend introduced me to this restaurant. It did not disappoint. The food was well prepared and tasted delicious. Tried the B11 (if i remember the number correctly), but it was the shrimp(4 pieces) and vegetables and i took chicken teriyaki with white rice. It was before 3pm, so i got the lunch special which was a reasonable portion for under $10.

I had lunch at the Bamboo, and it was delicious. I had the egg drop soup, spring roll, vegetable fried rice with fried tofu, and green beans with shrimp and onions. The food was so fresh and made exactly to my specifications. I learned that it is a family owned business, and new comers are more than welcome. I grew up in Taiwan and the food was authentic in flavor. The regulars at the bar were hospitable and welcoming as well. The ambiance, the food, and service were top notch. I definitely will return to try another dish of two. This restaurant reminds me of a restaurant named "Bull and Finch," which I waitressed weekends at. The regulars came all the time sharing their lives at their favorite spot. A television series, "Cheers", was created because of this place. Bamboo is an Asian Bull and Finch. Come on down and enjoy.

I've been living in Norwood now for 2 years, and this has been my main spot for Chinese. There is at least 4 Chinese places in the Washington Street area, and this one for a long time was the best. A few months back I noticed a change in the staff, the friendly staff that always greeted you at the counter weren't there. Not only were they gone, but the food took a hit as a result. I don't know the politics of the restaurant, but it appears a massive house cleaning happened, only not in a good way. The fried Dumplings are great, but anytime I order anything with chicken the past 4 times it's tasted like rubber. The veggies don't seem as fresh anymore. It's a shame, I really liked this place, but if this is the way they're going to cook, I'm eating elsewhere

Their serving size for lunch is the smallest size I have ever seen. Fried rice tastes different compared to many other Chinese restaurants I have eaten, but it tastes somewhat good. General gao chicken is also different, but tastes the best.

Jose Otero

Awesome

Lyn Silva

Nothing special...only visited because our go to place is currently closed for renovations

Ian Wellins

A little worn looking, but the hot and sour soup was perfect, as was the chicken and veg. Located in the middle of downtown Norwood, it's a great lunch spot.

Good service , nice environment

Cashier was rude from the beginning, we tried to order but since we didnt know right away what size plate we wanted, he asked us to sit down and decide then come back, even though we were the only costumers at that moment. One of two things, either he wasnt having a good day or he dislike Hispanics. We ended up leaving and not ordering. Unsal`s treated us much better.

Bernie Rodriguez

Very Good food very good service they give you more food then one can eat.

Carl Roedel

Fast delivery and delicious food.

Brianna Ciccone

I never ever right bad reviews, but I feel I should warn people as far as the sushi goes. First it completely falls apart. When you finally get it in your mouth it tastes like cardboard dipped in spicy mayo.

Thao Nguyen

Pretty good Chinese food in the area for the price.

Alexandra the Great

I love eating here & having drinks at the bar.

sandra lima

The chicken was disgusting. It had a bunch of feathers that wasn't cleaned off. Don't eat there.

Conawa Trujillo

Thei food was ok....but their service sucked...the girl on the phone had an attitude because i wanted a break down of my bill.....i had a large pork and cabbage soup and a small garlic beef delivered to me..I paid $19.00 for just those two things...very overpriced and not to mention..i only had 5 pieces of beef in my garlic beef order.....im still hungry....the nerve of them to ask me for a damm tip....never again will i eat from here...

Cynthia Gilbert

Clean awsome food

Janet Villafane

Clean fresh excellent food

Jeff Louzada

Super fresh food. Ordered lunch special, white rice, crab Rangoon and sweet and sour chicken. Could tell it was made on the spot. Clean establishment

Lee Johnson

I got take out from here twice, and both times the food was over-cooked and flavorless. I think they used a whole bottle of soy sauce for my fried rice, then cooked it for several hours, put it in the box, and left it on the counter for another couple hours. The fried chicken wings were also over cooked, and did not taste very good. And the crab rangoons were also bland and stale. I thought maybe the first time it was a fluke, but the rice and rest of my meal was just as horrible the 2nd time around. Fool me twice, shame on me. I won't be going back.

Michael Norton

I have been here several times the owners are very gracious & kind the food is great especially the low mein

Stephon Bessellieu

Lisa White

Very attentive, good food, and very reasonable pricing. Right in the center of downtown. Free public parking everywhere.

I honestly don't know how this grease spoon has so many positive reviews because every time I've ordered from this place it's been a total nightmare. First of all, the food is not fresh and everything is soaked in this nasty oil that I can't figure out what it is for the life of me. I ordered shrimp lo mien from them and got 2 whole shrimp in the entire dish with a few limp overcooked greens to give it "color" I'm assuming. Horrible. I then made the mistake of trying them again and ordered veggie curry. They couldn't understand that I didn't want any meat in it and insisted on tofu but all I wanted was some veggies in curry sauce, easy right? Not for these folks. What I received was a bowl of steamed veggies swimming in the most artificial oil I have ever had meet my lips. My boyfriend who eats everything could only take one bite and he said "trash it" I called and very politely told them about my oily dish and the woman ARGUED with me! I finally had to say, "I don't want to argue, I just want to tell you that I ordered a dish that I was hoping to enjoy and didn't." She then went on to say that if I return the entire portion she will CONSULT with her boss to see if I am applicable for a $10 refund. GASP! Is this really how this place runs their business???? Believe me, there are PLENTY of other places in Norwood to order delicious food that is 10000 times better, less expensive and WITHOUT the conceded attitude!!!

John Lupfer

Eduardo Suárez

Kayla Hood

My favorite sushi place in Norwood. I eat here at least once every trip. Don't miss the red dragon roll.

Jim McSherry

Great lunch & Sunday buffet

Najaam P Lee

the WORST EVER! i ordered 2 things on their menu. The guy they have answering their phones is pig headed and no customer service experience at all. They didnt even get my order correct, much less their online menu is a different price than their paper and they want to blame me, the customer, for their own F--ing mistake! The food came and it was SOOOOO Gross that the BBB will be dealing with them. So what if you changed your business name from Bamboo House to Bamboo Cafe. Your customer service SUCKS! Grade it D and already posted this to every local news in the area!

Robert Coker

My second favorite place n town to get Chinese and Japanese food, The sushi is amazing and so is the Ginger chicken w: string beans. Amazing fusion of two different styles of food!

Joseph O'Neill

Staff very nice and great location.

John Foley

The crispy sesame beef was a gloopy, sour, one-note dish. The meat was not even remotely crispy, and the sauce had none of the toasted, almost nutty flavors of sesame. The only sesame came in the standard seeds sprinkled about. The vinegar in the sauce was oppressive, sourest sauce I've ever tasted for a sesame beef. Pad Thai was ok (after adding hot chili sauce) and the crab Rangoon were about what you'd expect, warm, creamy cheese deep fried in a won-ton. I know very places that do this wrong, this place was just fine as well. Also, despite that the place was empty (surprise, surprise), service was slower than expected, but not quite at the point of frustration. All in all, pretty disappointing. Would not recommend, but not a total failure in all regards.

Tony Cardoso

Good

Jordan Powell

The food was bland and the only good thing was The Shrimp with Cashews... yuck!

holly oakley

I eat there about once a week and have never had bad food or service! I brought my cousin and his wife here and they are very picky about their food and they LOVED it!!

Happy GoLucky

Edward Higgott

great food, excellent service. highly recommend.

Cc Corr

HORRIBLE!! Crab Rangoon was the only good thing we got for our $70 bill. By mistake I called the wrong Bamboo restaurant. I meant to call Bamboo in Dedham. I spoke with the manager, and with her broken English was of no assistance in any way! Please, go out of your way and go to ANY OTHER PLACE. MY ORDER...THINGS NOT TO ORDER OR EAT: egg rolls,lomeai, beef and broccoli,beef chow main,chop suet,and "fried" rice. It's the texture of couscous.
