Easily some of the best takeout I had in a long time. Everything tasted so fresh (especially the egg rolls!!), and the platters were big at a reasonable cost. They even have a nice vegan selection, which is an added bonus for those in need. This spot definitely stands out compared to all of the other places I've tried in Delco.

The food is excellent but our server Nikki is beyond awesome. She was on point with care. The ambience is explicit. Not crowded and the whole restaurant is clean. Groupon is not acceptable for lunch special. We ordere fried rice special, taco sashimi, Japanese sushi be sashimi, shrimp dumplings and blanched bokchoy on the side. We will be back.

One of My favorite Chinese place but the sweet and sour chicken has too much batter. This was after putting it in the air fryer. Still raw dough

Usually I go here for sushi and Chinese takeout when I don’t feel like driving more than 5 minutes for sushi and Chinese food. Bamboo has always been pleasant and consistently has delicious food. Nikki at the front desk is always exceptionally good and friendly as well as accommodating every time I order, even when I make a mistake. Nikki is also very personable and has a wonderful sense of humor! This place would be screwed without Nikki for sure since she does all of the ordering and organization and handling all online orders in addition to phone calls. Bless you Nikki for being so patient with all the customers!!!
