Excruciatingly long wait for food. Rude and bored looking teenager taking the orders needs a lesson in politeness and customer service.

The quality of food was horrendous . In the fish and chips dish the fish was undercooked. After taking the first bite I saw that the butter was still raw and runny underneath. In the mixed meat dish the pork was having a weird taste like of an outdated meat. It was a huge disappointment as we’ve ordered the Chinese takeaway as a Sunday treat and the food had to go to the bin.

Vinegar vinegar The cook is crazy about vinegar. It used to be great food, now it's just vinegar, maybe that's just my opinion

The staff are friendly and do a good job. But unfortunately the food wasn't good you can actually taste the grease.

Usually use this takeaway for Chinese as the food is generally good and they have decent portion sizes. Ordered kung po chicken this evening and it was possibly the most vile dish ever tasted. Stringy, jelly like tiny bits of chicken, frozen veg have clearly been used and the sauce tasted nothing like the spicy garlic flavour advertised and was like runny jelly. The prices on their only online menu (Facebook) are incorrect with mains being £3 more expensive than the menu shows. Hopefully this was a one off but it was a waste of almost £15 for one dish.

Phoned in an order and was told it would be 20 mins, as I have been caught out before I arrived in 25 mins. Surprise surprise my order was nowhere to be seen. So I waited and waited and then waited again! After 30 min wait I asked was my meal ever going to,be ready. Eventually the food arrived. During my wait I was concerned to see the staff sitting on a shelf where the food sits waiting for collection, not terribly hygienic. Staff are continuously on their mobile phones and treat staff like a nuisance! Not good

Telephoned at 6pm to collect at 6.30pm and was assured it would be ready. Wasn't ready. Customer walk ins ordered and received food before me. At 6.45pm I asked where food was, received it at 6.50pm. This is not the first time this has happened, we've had to wait up to 45mins for an order we telephoned in. Couldn't eat my food I was so annoyed and told them I'd never go back. Avoid this place, they prove themselves to be totally unreliable again and again.

Having got out of here for months I have to say the food I got was nothing like what we have got before, it was tasteless... the gravy was horrible and the chicken fried rice was in clumps, the ribs were more fat than anything, there is no way that this was cooked by the same people... if it has changed hands we certainly won’t b back

I first tried Bamboo in October last year and I have been back several times since. It’s the perfect takeaway for Chinese food. Bamboo is a clean place (as far as we could see), the chefs are quick and the food is lovely. I would highly recommend a visit to this takeaway if you like Chinese food.

I had tried for years to give them benefit of doubt - but had nothing but deep fried bones and the one bit of pork was putrid - had serious stomach sickness afterwards, complained and had just as bad - but the chicken now tastes like frozen pieces, some chilli chicken starter deep fried with no chicken in it - not a solid piece of breast of frsh chicken - very stringy - definitely not a good order

Dos de las órdenes donde completamente equivocados cuando nos abrieron los contenedores, hicieron todo sobre otros arruinando la comida. Me llamó para decírselo y nos dijeron que podíamos volver y conseguir una comida familiar. Volvimos en buena fe y pedimos una comida familiar cuando fui A recogerlo me dijeron que solamente mi plato era gratis y que tendríamos que pagar todos los platos también muy ignorante y grosero de servicio.

So... Esta noche fuimos para tocarles un chino con mi novia. Conseguimos chip salsa con queso y parte de pelotas de pollo. Las patatas fritas eran terribles. En seco, falta de salsa, falta de queso... No pude comer el chip. Así que abrí mi pelotas de pollo. ¿adivina qué? Pasta bolas de pollo estaba seco como el infierno mismo como pollo. Todo estaba tirado tras 2 minutos de comenzar a comer. Nunca alguna vez de nuevo y no recomiendo a nadie. Fuimos allí a las once de la noche. Peor Experiencia china tenía en años y mi primera reseña. Tan enojado lo malo que era.

Just got my first ever sirloin steak delivery and blown away by it. I asked for medium rare and it was perfect. Bamboo never fails to deliver on quality and flavour. You have to try it - sit in, take-away or delivery. Enjoy!

Food is consistent, service is fast, but sometimes quality of chicken can be rubbery, but generally its good and we toss a coin for our weekly order between these two.

The food in Bamboo is great. I drive past at least 4 other chinese take outs to get food at Bamboo. The only reason I have rated 4 out of 5 is that the 'crispy shredded chicken in honey chilli wine sauce' is too hot for me and so I only go to other takeouts when I take the notion for this,

Eat from here occasionally. I usually stick to the chicken and black bean as I share with a small child, but the meals are always tasty enough and the service is grand. The only negative is that it is a little more salty than other Chinese restaurants that I may visit.

I go here quite regularly. You get a decent chicken curry and although it takes a while to come, its worth the wait. Price is what Id expect. It is a bit slow so call them up, order and collect

Rang an order in tonight at 7 pm and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Went up to collect at 7.10 supposing it may be 7.15 before it was ready. I waited till 7.30, having noticed that several people who ordered after I had arrived had been and left and asked the counter assistant if my order had definitely been put in and she told me it was, 5 minutes later she produced with my order chit asking me if that was what I had ordered. Eventually got my order at 7.45. Definitely will not be in any hurry back.

For a takeaway situated on a garage forecourt the food and service is fantastic.They are extremely busy near enough every night they are open and the food is always to a high standard.The building and its interior is noticeably very clean and haven't had any issues.The prices are a tiny bit more expensive than alternatives but I'm sure no one minds paying more for better quality food.

The last few meals we have ordered from here have been way below standard, from what we had been used to. The fried rice has become very “claggy”, the pork & chicken battered pieces are way over cooked & the chop suey is very greasy. Please go back to the way you cooked your food a couple of months ago.

Delivery took 2 hours, app should not let you order if it's that busy, you should be offered a refund when it gets to an hour and a half. Def won't order off the app again, if I ever order from this Chinese again I will make sure I ask how long it will be first. 2 hours, without even an update call, is just ridiculous.

Short Summary: Very delicious Chinese food for the region (especially so fresh out of the kitchen). The dishes were a little too saucy but vegetables were crunchy and fresh. Ambiance and service left quite a bit to be desired though, enough to drop the score to a 3/5. Not at all accessible for wheelchair users. Barely accessible for those with mobility impairments. No change tables for families and far too noisy for anyone with sensory issues. Long Form Review: This place seems to have rebranded at some point, so the door sign and menus say “China’s Finest”, however the address and phone number are the same as this existing Trip Adviser entry. The ambiance was quaint and uninspired. Cheap decor and messy table settings, with empty soy sauce bottles that look like they haven’t been cleaned in a while, were not very welcoming at all. However, the tables themselves seemed very clean and the space warm (physically, the radiators were on and it was nice to be warm). Menus (which were stapled together in the wrong page order and had manual price changes in one but not the other) were brought out promptly and orders taken as soon as we were ready. I wasn’t thrilled with silverware being brought to the table despite our having already asked for and received chopsticks (disposable btw) but that seems to be a local quirk. Drinks (2x Tsing Tao Beer and water) came out right away, and the starters (Mini Vegetable Spring Rolls, Prawn Toast and Salt & Chilly Prawn) were not too far behind. We were impressed by the flavors and textures of everything. The prawns were perfectly cooked, the spring rolls were not greasy at all and the prawn toast was crispy on the outside and perfectly done on the inside. Great start. Regrettably from there things got a little strange. The plates were cleared and we had a 45 minute wait for our meals. Not “terrible” but we were one of only 2 tables in the place and dining with a 5 year old which made it a little frustrating. There was no indication that it would be so long, especially after the starters were so fast, so it was very upsetting for our child who had realized how hungry they were after eating the starters and really wanted their main; we had no explanation to give them about why it was taking so long. What made it even harder to enjoy the rest of the evening was that during this wait the phone would not stop ringing for more than a minute at a time (and was set to extraordinarily loud). Take out orders were flying out of the kitchen and out the door at a rapid fire pace and yet we (and the other table) were not even offered a top up of our drinks. No one came to check on us unless we called for help. We ordered a pot of tea. Received two coffee mugs and English breakfast tea in a pot. Now, this could be explained as a simple miscommunication, but let’s be honest, when one orders tea with dinner at a Chinese restaurant, when has one ever meant English breakfast tea? That got corrected quickly enough and yet we were still not offered any more water or other beverages. When it had been an hour since we placed our order, I asked if we should just ask for our food to go… the staff member informed us then that they had “just asked the kitchen to cook” our dinners “since it had been so long”. I don’t even know how to unpack that… so I won’t even try. When the food finally came out (more on the food itself in a minute) rice was served on plates instead of in bowls, and I then had to order the two additional beers, additional hot water for the tea and ask for a bowl for the rice because I was tired of waiting for baseline standard service to be offered. Now, thankfully, the food (the dinners) themselves were very very good indeed! We ordered: Roast Duck in Oyster Sauce on fried rice Satay King Prawns on boiled rice King Prawns on fried Udon Noodles Mixed Vegetable Side Bamboo and Water Chestnut Side These were all very delicious. As we’ve become accustomed to, there was too much sauce on all the vegetable and prawn dishes, however, they were well seasoned, a great consistency and not greasy. The flavour of each dish was unique and added something different. The vegetables were fresh, very crunchy and very bright in colour; we were well impressed. The Bamboo and Waterchestnut dish was a little plain in comparison to everything else, and very large for the fact it only had two vegetables on it, so I definitely recommend that one to share and only if you LOVE bamboo and water chestnuts. (It’s really good though!) At the end of the visit, our child needed the washroom, so we ascended the stairs. We had to climb over a vacuum cleaner and a fire extinguisher to do so, which is to say that in addition to the stairs being super steep to begin with and the restaurant’s seating area being 2 steps up from the very narrow main entrance, this establishment is definitely not mobility/accessibility friendly at all I’m afraid. (Also no real room for buggies or high chairs. There were no changing stations in the bathrooms and the phones would make this place impossible for anyone with auditory sensory/focus issues.) There was no toilet paper in the ladies washrooms when we got there, however, a staff member showed up very quickly with paper rolls without us having asked. I was handed two rolls at the door to the washroom (which contained two stalls and a sink) so I, as the guest, restocked each of the two lavatories (?)… that was certainly a first in all my years. Haha We were able to pay by card, which is always great, and the staff gave us take away boxes to take our leftovers home. We had to ask for a bag but got one quickly. As we got ready to leave our little one was given their choice of lollipop from a big jar from behind the counter, a nice touch. All in all this was a pleasant enough experience, simply because the food was so delicious, BUT it could simply be so much better. It could be so so so much better, if: the service was faster and more forthcoming, if the decor was a little more authentic, the tables better stocked, the chopsticks not disposable, the crockery suitable to the cuisine, the tea loose leaf instead of bagged, the stairs not messy, the ambiance more enjoyable by turning the lights and phones down, separating the take away area from the sit in area, not having the delivery order bag prep area be a dining table right next to seated guests and by increasing the focus on sit in customers (who can be upsold, which I think they forgot). Our bill came to £86 (something there about) and they could definitely have made more money on our table if they had paid us more attention, offered us more drinks, and/or if the wait was shorter. Then we would have ordered more drinks and probably would have wanted dessert too. That would have been nicer for us and better for them. We hope to try again sometime, maybe as a couple instead of a family, and maybe later at night when there may be less focus on takeaways/deliveries.

A solid chinese all around. Foods always piping hot and you're usually not waiting long
