  • After going back-and-forth on Yelp about where I would fix my General Tso's tofu craving, I noticed a brief mention of a new offering nearby that I hadn't heard of... So of course, I threw all the places that had been on my to-try list out the window and called up Green Bamboo.. First off, parking at this place is kind of tough. The streets off of Penn are extremely tight and parking is a rarity. There is a small lot across the street not for them, but you could probably get away with picking up. I stopped in the street and put on my flashers and I was fine. Second off, this place is a convenience store or something.. I can't tell. I walked in thinking I went in the wrong door and there was a younger(teenage) kid sitting there. I looked at him confused and just said "tofu?" and he told me to grab a bag that was sitting out, and told me to check if everything was in it. I understand I'm not at a 3-star restaurant or anything, but seriously? I had to grab my own food and check it? Oh well... My order of General Tso's tofu, veggie egg rolls, and a side fried rice order came to about $18. The first thing I tried was the eggroll, which came as two spring rolls. The wrapping was good, but when it was bit into, the inside yielded nothing but fried cabbage and black pepper. Not very appealing, and quite flavorless. On to the fried rice, it was dry, but had a strong oil taste to it(This was a theme), so after eating it my mouth would feel and taste like the oil they used to cook in, but the other flavors were not prominent. Finally, on to the general tso's, the tofu for this I thought was fried pretty well - soft and fluffy, but firm enough to stay together. They had large chunks that I didn't like and the sauce left a lot to be desired... It was also like they dipped it in sauce to coat it and gave it to me, because the only liquid that wasn't a thin layer of sauce on the tofu was oil. Upon biting into the tofu, the story was much the same as the fried rice - a short burst of sweetness followed by the flavor of oil. Was it god-awful americanized chinese? Not particularly - it's always a gamble, but there are many places in the area still on my list, so green bamboo will not get a second chance for a while. Also I thought it was a little expensive for what we got but hey
