A very tasty lunch at Bamboo Basket. We had the beef and chicken teriyaki and Penang plus the bao buns and indian roti bread. All food is freshly made in the kitchen. and absolutely delicious. Lots of other good options on the board inside too - check them out- green thai churry/ pad thai/ chiken katsu curry that all looked great. Fab size portions. Happy customers. One of those places where you look at what everyone else has ordered. Nice tables in autumn sunshine outside, but some seating also available inside. A great little place. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bamboo Basket!

I was told about this place by some friends in neighbouring Ewell last week & was shown photos. Decided to try it today, having sort of unknowingly walked past it many times as it’s a bit tucked away. I ordered the Beef Rendang at a small outdoor table. Waited approximately 15 minutes and wasn’t disappointed. Quite a decent portion with vermicelli (thin) rice noodles. The flavour was delicious with cubes of beautiful, tender beef. The service was efficient & very friendly. Bamboo Basket gets two thumbs up from me. It is a gem of a find & would take off so well if they had more space, but all told, a wonderful place to. Can’t wait to go back to try something else off their menu. Well done Bamboo Basketeers!!

Keep it brief as it’s a small place but perfectly formed. Food is delicious, limited seating outside but if the other businesses aren’t open you can “probably” use their seating. Feels a bit “street food” ish and a bit “takeaway” like with some tables. The food speaks for itself and why not have a cheap pint at Wetherspoons next door afterwards. I highly recommend a mixture of white and brown rice which the man taking your order will suggest if you aren’t sure. Great stuff

Siamo passati davanti al locale e ci è piaciuto anche se molto piccolo. Ricorda davvero quei locali i cinesi in cui il cuoco fa miracoli in pochi metri quadrati. Siccome pioveva abbiamo ordinato il cibo a casa e sono stati puntuali . Il cibo era ben confezionato , non mancava nulla ed era saporito e ben cucinato . Forse un po’ troppo speziato , ma d altra parte è cibo orientale . Molto bravi e bello L omaggio di piccoli contenitori di foglie di te di diversi sapori .

First time takeaway from the Bamboo basket last night - not a keen fan of Chinese takeaway as a rule but this was superb. A more limited menu clearly helps the guys there focus on delivering quality. Next time the kids try and persuade me to order Chinese in I won’t spend half an hour arguing with them.

My son and I visited the Bamboo basket today as it was his birthday and he chose it. Luckily we got a table. The food was incredible. Great sized portions, fresh ingredients and absolutely delicious. The Honey crunch chicken was unbelievably good. They have a huge selection of high quality tea, I usually only drink Yorkshire tea, but chose one called Yerba Mate. It was really nice, and my son saw how much I was enjoying it, had his first ever taste of tea and enjoyed it. No wonder this place is rated so highly in Epsom, it is richly deserved and we will be back again, and again, and again. ❤️

On a whim, we decided to have dinner here tonight. It took a while but eventually we were shown to a table and given a menu too. I ordered rice and the others opted for meat and noodles. I loved the food that was served. The food was well prepared and quite delicious. I will return in the future. I have not tasted Chinese food in ages either. Only drawback was the place was quite small in size. Great selection of food available. If you are in the area craving Chinese this is the place to go to. So worth it.

Bamboo Basket is a spectacular place to eat for lunch. Located in the heart of Epsom, many locals are regular eaters which proves how delicious the food is. The food is well priced (around 5-7 pounds) and service is incredibly fast, couldn't say a bad word about it as staff are always willing to help and food is consistently fresh and top quality.

If you have eaten in places like Kingston Market or Brick Lane or Camden Lock Market, you will realise that Bamboo Basket's food is way below the standard but somehow it is more expensive.

Firstly, the quality of the food is second to none. I'm leaving this review now because of the absolutely fantastic service I received on a Sunday afternoon. A popular app that allows you to have food delivered completely let us down, waiting for over 90 minutes because of the app. Bamboo Basket staff + owner took responsibility (when really it wasn't their fault AT ALL!) and made sure that we received exactly what we were ordered, FRESH and in a timely manner considering the circumstances. I've always eaten here because the food is so good but my loyalty as a customer is now enshrined for life because of this experience.

Me considero un regular ya me he comido mi almuerzo aquí al menos una vez a la semana para los dos años. La razón por la que volver aquí es simple - me gusta la comida y considerar este sitio una muy coherente y fiable cuando se trata de sabores. Sin embargo, creo que hay algunas mejoras obvias que que han impactado mi varias visitas recientemente de forma negativa. El lugar se ha convertido en muy popular, así que lo que solía ser 10 minutos de espera durante la hora del almuerzo, es ahora de 40 - 50 minutos. en 4 ocasiones ahora tuve que esperar casi 50 minutos. para alguien que tiene 1 horas pausa, este es un servicio muy lento y el almuerzo se convierte en una experiencia estresante. Chicos - son víctimas de su propio éxito - quizás es hora para la expansión? Probablemente sea más fácil de decir que de hacer. Pero tienes algunas opciones? Zona de estar dentro, gire hacia una cocina más grande y extender/cubrir la zona de afuera que su zona de estar allí? Debo decir que la espera se está convirtiendo en un gran problema para mí y mis muchos colegas y recientemente nos sinmply no orden cuando el personal dijo esperar 20 minutos (que sabemos es a menudo más como 40 minutos). Lo segundo es la limpieza. . Porque el lugar es tan pequeño y un montón de cocina es en el interior - el lugar convertido en muy pegajosa a lo largo de los años. Casi sentir como que necesita una adecuada limpieza profunda (zona de estar así como la cocina), es un poco desagradable, así que intentaré no demasiado investigar demasiado. diría, darle una buena limpieza, mano de pintura, y se hacen maravillas. Segundo chef y cocina seconf se necesita su buena limpieza. De todos modos, habiendo dicho todo eso, sin que en Epsom, almuerzos dijo sería muy aburrido con muy pocas opciones, así que gracias por decepcionante.

This little gem is great for a fast and fresh stir fry. There's a great choice of meat and vege options and white or brown rice and noodles. All served in a little brown cardboard box... normally wait 10-15 mins for it to be cooked fresh in front of you. The pork buns are also amazing! Only downside of this place is its closing time we often don't make it after work!! Should stay open a bit later, especially on Thursdays and Fridays...

This is where I go for lunch when I'm hungry. And by "hungry" I really mean "greedy". A massive plate of noodles, with a relatively small amount of meat and veg and a good dollop of their crushed chilli sauce, will keep me going until dinner time and beyond.Don't go here expecting equal amounts of noodles/rice and sauce, as you would from most Chinese takeaways, because you'll be disappointed. Expect noodles with a small garnish of other stuff and you'll get what you came for. And very nice it is too.It's worth mentioning that if a huge brick of noodles sounds like a bit much for lunch, you can also get a carb-free version based on stir-fried vegetables instead of noodles. I think it costs slightly more but you won't spend your afternoon feeling as though you've eaten a cannon ball.And you can also get their food cold, so that you can stir fry it yourself for your dinner - a great option if you don't have the time or inclination for "proper" cooking.

I've lived in Epsom for many years and walked by Bamboo Restaurant many times. It's tiny - perhaps it's main drawback. It subsides into the background. It can seat a dozen people, although in good weather, there are more seats outside.I found out about Bamboo Restaurant on TripAdvisor and excitedly told my daughter about this, and it turns out she's been going there, since secondary school, for over half a dozen years. Doh.While it has a limited menu, the ingredients are fresh, tasty, and reliably consistent. It's my go to place for fast yummy noodles and rice.

Be warned this is not a fine dining experience! It is more akin to the street market food in places like Singapore. A quick stir fry, and a top quick lunch. It gets very busy with people taking away food at lunchtime, so you usually have to wait 10-15 mins. I am deliberately rating this 4* not 5* as I genuinely think 5* reviews result in this place getting a 2* review down the line from someone else. The reason for the bad reviews this place gets is because they expect something that it is not. Sometimes this place gets up to being one of the top restaurants in the area and that is when they start to get bad reviews. When people come expecting a place that is the top restaurant in the area are not understanding what this place is. It is not a sit down type place though it now has some seats. It is definitely the top place in the area to get some tasty takeaway noodles served in a cardboard takeaway box. Get some of the chilli oil, but ask for it on the side not right on the middle - that stuff is hot! Think noodles and rice stir fried a couple of ways and some sides that is about it on the menu. Limited choices but done well - it is all they have the space for.

Not sure how this has such a high ranking. Yes it is cheap and well located outside main shopping mall and food is served quickly but the food is very average at best..... It's OK but not great at all.

I absolutely love Bamboo Basket, in my eyes nothing beats it. However, I am intolerant to chicken and they ALWAYS run out of beef?! :-( Even if we ring to pre-order, it won't be saved for you. This can be a punch in the face if your really craving it & pre-order at midday to pick up in the evening and they have already run out of beef. Would 100% get an excellent however I feel like this is quite a big downfall.

Bamboo Basket have shuffled their team between Epsom and their "new" restaurant in Guildford. I can happily report that the food is as good as ever especially considering the price! About £5/6 for a main which you can customise. Try the spring roll, not those titchy little ones you find on other places or a char siu bun if you're early enough

This is the best place for noodles, super fresh, filling and so tasty. They do great green tea and the coca cola ribs are amazing. Really nice to sit outside and great service.

This amazing small street restaurant never fails to deliver. Great food, quick service, good price, what more needs to be said.

This is a great little place for a quick lunch when shopping. Better than the burger fast food alternatives. The lady that cooks is always so kind and friendly. This is not really a restaurant; more a day time café and the seating is limited, that said, as it is a quick turnover, you normally can get a seat.

Hi bamboo basket serves delicious noodles with prawns and or chicken . I would recommend the crispy prawns you get five crispy fried prawns for £3.00. The quantity and quality off the food is really good . The service is great and the staff are lovely . Since our first time we have been back another three times and the quality and taste was the same as the first.

I'm a regular, usually on a Friday, I love noodles & love this place. Very busy which is always a good sign. They have an eat in section & there are some tables outside which is nice on a good day. I pop in during my lunch break & takeaway

This is the best place to eat-in or take away quick, hot, tasty food in Epsom. The staff are so friendly and the food never disappoints. As well as the delicious rice and noodle dishes there is an inexhaustible selection of teas. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a favourite with the whole family.

Hot, tasty food which is delicious. Food can be eaten on the premises as it has indoor and outdoor tables or it can be taken away. A varied menu according to one's choice. Quickly prepared and served. Always busy which is a sign of good food, and friendly service. Food freshly cooked in front of you

I am a semi-regular visitor to this lovely restaurant. Whenever I shop in Epsom I insist on taking a friend here for the first time. All food is cooked fresh with a great selection of sauces and spice levels (the chilli sauce is fantastically hot!). The jasmine tea is delightful and the chicken noodles authentically Asian. The service is always delightful and charming. The outside seating area in the pleasant little conduit into the shopping centre is a great place to enjoy the sun and relax on a good day whilst eating. An Epsom must!

Cheap fast chinese food. Quality is OK. This place is nothing to be excited by. It is quite expensive for simple fast food but it tastes nice. The staff are nice enough. It's a bit small so if it is busy there might not be space.

Love the Bamboo Basket - the food is consistently good. The place is tiny, but always busy which is a great sign. So many Chinese places sell stodgy, glutinous food but not here - the food is fresh, light and delicious. If you're looking to grab a quick lunch or takeaway then I highly recommend you try this place!

Popped in yesterday on recommendation of a couple of friends. I have the Rednang Fish noodles and my girlfriend had the chicken and prawn noodles. After a short wait our noodles arrived and it was lovely! Such a big portion for the price we paid too. For two bowls of noodles and two diet cokes we paid just under £12 - are we were definitely full by the end.We will be back, regularly.
