I don’t usually like to complain, but I feel people should know about this experience. The restaurant appeared to be understaffed, and my to-go order wasn’t started until I arrived. Once the food was finally prepared, the quality was very disappointing—it seemed as though leftovers were used. Overall, it was a frustrating experience and not what I expected.

Skip this place and go to Hong Yen Vietnamese instead.
I went to Bamboo yesterday after not eating there for four years. The only reason I returned was because Hong Yen had been closed for construction. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
Four years ago, the restaurant smelled like cigarettes and the food was bad. Yesterday was no different. The food was still awful. As an Asian person who has traveled to all 50 states and over 15 countries including many Asian countries, this was by far the worst egg roll I’ve ever had. It was mushy, which makes me believe it wasn’t fully cooked.
I ordered four egg rolls for a large party, and every single one was bad. I’ve been sick since yesterday and am experiencing what feels like food poisoning after eating here.
This place was not worth it four years ago, not worth it now, and honestly needs to be inspected by the county as soon as possible.
Save your money, your stomach, and your health. Go to Hong Yen Vietnamese instead.

This place is disgusting. Upon entering it smelled like cigarettes, the front entrance floor was filthy, the sauces on the tables were sticky and looks like they have never been cleaned, the ceiling tiles are stained over by bar area, their vents on the ceiling are caked in black mold or black filth of some sort, the fan sitting on their bar is dirty and blowing air around. For the cherry on top, we had a hairball in our fresh spring roll and had to send it back. This place needs a visit from the Greene County Health Dept. I’m supposed it’s allowed to be open, honestly.
