Not sure about the other Bamboo Clubs in the Phoenix area, but this one.....uh.......I wouldn't go there again if you paid me.
Yes that sounds very harsh. I will say that it was not the wait staff that is causing me to give such a poor review, our waiter was friendly, and prompt. The food however......leaves a lot to be desired.
We ordered the lunch special which consists of a soup, an appetizer, and a main course all for $9.95. Not bad huh? Yeah well I think there is a reason for the 'steal of a deal' pricing.
So let me break it down for ya.....
- Iced tea tasted like steamed cardboard. I think it was supposed to be green tea...but not 100% sure.
- Wonton soup, not too bad, but the pork tasted rubbery.
- Fried rice almost made me vomit. Seriously folks. Without going into Drama Queen mode...let me just say EEEEW. I could have sworn they cooked band-aids with the rice because that's how it tasted.
- The crab wontons...too crabby and peppery.
- The mandarin orange chicken, eh..so-so. That was about the only thing I picked at on my plate. I'm hoping that it was really chicken and not some other animal because it did look a little strange for chicken.
We did get seated quickly and got our food in a flash. Our waiter was very courteous and the environment is pretty cool. It's just a shame that the food was so incredibly bad.
