We came here Christmas eve and they did a great job handling the crowds and service and food were both great. The cocktails and wine are also very reasonable. We started with the pork dumplings which were moist and not greasy. We also enjoyed the Chinese chicken salad. But the shrimp sweet and sour and the kungpao fried rice were great and our favorite was the Mongolian beef. We will be back on a regular night soon!
One of the best Chinese food that I ever had till date.
We ordered the Three flavor Sizzling Rice Soup (they made it vegetarian for us), Assorted Mushrooms, Hot Szechuan Bean Curd ( the Tofu was so soft that it just melted in our mouths, too good!) and Eggplant in Brown Sauce that came with side dishes of both white and brown rice. Every dish was very good.
The staff were very friendly and courteous. They kept checking on us from time to time. Ambience was cozy.
Will visit this place again for sure!
My one complaint about this restaurant is how bad the service is. I went with a friend there for lunch and it took them well over 15 minutes to bring us the water and menus. Afterwards it took another 20 minutes to get our order! In the meantime they brought us a salad that looked like the manager special bags of old soggy salad you get a a grocery store. We ordered shrimp and a beef dish... Quality was OK, nothing special to rave about. Wouldn't visit this restaurant again.
Update 12/18/19
Gave this place a second chance and it was much better a second time around. The lunch is inexpensive and you get a lot of food for your money. The salad still falls short, but their hot and sour soup and their assorted sea food platter had plenty of flavor! As an appetizer their cream cheese wontons were crispy and they didn't skimp on the cream cheese either. Very very good customer service, and this time the food was served quickly after ordering. I wouldn't mind coming back for lunch
We ordered to go. Upon arrival, my order was ready. I checked all items and found one item was not included. I had to wait for that item to be made. Not until leaving did the young woman who helped me and also took our order on the phone even offer me chop sticks. They were not offered or packed with the original order. Also, we thought a few items ordered were very skimpy with the fish or protein portion, mainly vegetables.

THE BEST Chinese Restaurant in the ENTIRE Valley. Every single dish is incredible. Everything you order is fresh, delicious and delightful. Every person, from the servers to the patrons, are ecstatic to be there. We have been coming to Bamboo for almost 20 years and every time we go we are reminded about how special and wonderful this restaurant is. Joseph is practically family and we hope to visit for another 50 years.
Only lived in Los Angeles for 40 years and we finally found a great Chinese restaurant. All of the meals were delicious and the owner was so friendly. Too bad we live in West LA. But it will be worth the drive when we will crave mandarin food again.

We went around 8:30pm on a Thursday night. There is no parking in the back and the front is valet, very limited spots aside from that. We were able to park 2 blocks away and parking was free since it was after 8pm.
They seated us 6 right away. Simple and plain decor.
We ordered the Mongolian beef, orange chicken, Joe' fried rice, shrimp fried rice, kung pao chicken, and shrimp soft noodles. Food came out quickly. Orange chicken was a bit tough but the flavor was good. Nice kick. The shrimp fried rice had no real flavor and felt greasy. Kids had to add soy sauce, which we don't usually use. Joe's fried rice was not as greasy and had a nice hint of lime. Kung pao chicken was the winner with juicy chicken and nice spice level. Lots of peanuts. We all got water and the cups are tiny so the waiter got tired of refilling the cups and just left the pitcher, which is usually the best bet.
Only problem I had was when the check came out. The server was standing by the table, just staring us down. Walked over 3 times to ask were we going to pay. We gave him the card and he came back and proceeded to stand there waiting for us to sign. He finally asked us to sign it so he could take it. I said I would and he just stood there. I felt like it was rude and when I filled in the tip and signed, he took it and looked at it right then and there as to approve of the tip. Very unprofessional.
The food was roughly $20 per plate. Not sure that we would come back after that awkward interaction but food was fine.

Great place to eat and meet friends, it has that old school Chinese restaurant feel. Great and delicious food. Bathrooms are very clean. There is street parking but, check out the signage. I've eaten here before.
This place has the best Chinese cuisine in the SF and SC Valley's. MaiTai's take me back to Hawaii. Try the Spicy, garlic shrimp with Jalapenos or the Aloha fried rice...AMAZING! Havent had Mu Shu Pork this good in years! Order 2 so you can have leftovers the next day! Can't wait to go back!!!
The food was so sick, the soup was great, people was really nice!
