“I always enjoyed the San Luis Obispo location when we ordered from there, and for some Christmas dinner Chinese we made the trek to pick up a good sized order from the original. The atmosphere was lovely, but we were just picking up so I defaulted 5 stars.
The order was accurate and the staff was perfectly friendly. The food was just as I remember from the SLO location. I got a dense, savory, salty shrimp fried rice and enjoyed every bite. The sweet and sour chicken was breaded evenly, sauced completely and delicious. The honey walnut shrimp was something is never tried before and dang it was good.. big plump breaded shrimp on the sweet salty honey sauce with some toasted walnuts across the top.. the magic touch for me was what seemed like some bits of Kewpie or other high quality mayo in the bottom that gave such a rich creaminess to the bites of juicy shrimp.. I will be back just to order this, ideally alongside my shrimp fried rice for a super shrimp overload. The spring rolls where nothing special but hot and crispy when picked up.
The restaurant is a little on the pricey side but I think you get what you pay for and bamboo bamboo has filled the hole in my heart left from Mandarin Gourmet's retirement and closure. Go here and have some great food!“

“I've eaten here several times here and each time the food blows my mind. It's hard to go wrong with dishes like poke, beef bulgogi, and ramen, but each one has some unique twist to it that dials the flavors to the max while staying true to the spirit of the dish. Each of them uses some sort of lightly pickled vegetable to balance and enhance the umami in the dish. Even the rice is delicious- it doesn't just passively soak up flavors in the background, it's lightly flavored itself and has the perfect chewy texture.
For a truly unique experience I recommend the Bay Burrata salad. I've never tasted anything that combined creamy, earthy, and fresh flavors together in exactly that way but it works incredibly well. The truffle Burrata with beets, fennel, and pickled sweet corn makes the perfect fresh dish for a sunny day.“
