Bamboo Cottage in South Northamptonshire

Great service, staff very friendly. Chow mein was very tasty and flavoursome. Would highly recommend

We had a very nice meal this evening. Excellent quality

Good food and friendly service 😋

Food is always excellent, good value and prompt friendly service even in the frenzy of Christmas eve on a Sunday night take out!

Ordered delivery. Took 35mins to arrive, quicker than they said! Win. The food was great, reasonably priced with large portions. I'd definitely return and recommend to other locals looking for take out Chinese

Just had a lovely takeaway all the food was great quality and tasted great would highly recommend trying it if you want good value quality food

Lovely tasting food, good service.

Great Chinese, not my regular one one but just as good. Deli ery is very fast .

Just stuck away from the main road this was ideal for a take away. Seemed very bust whilst I was there lots of people coming in and collecting food. I had been excited to have a Chinese first for a very long time for me but was left slightly disappointed, there was way too much pineapple in my sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style and the chicken only just seemed cooked. Maybe as it was a Saturday night it was slight rushed. Will have to try again and see if it has improved another time.

Food was excellent, slightly different to our usual place, but none the less very tasty. Service was exemplary, a friendly welcome, and pleasant farewell. Over all nothing but compliments for this place. We will use again.

Very polite on the phone and very tasty excellent food Never had a bad one and use them every wk

Terrible food/service avoid this takeaway 100%. Worst chicken balls i have ever consumed in my life it was rock solid like a tennis ball. Devastating food waste of money totally. 👎🏿

Awful food quality and not the best customer service.. my rice was so greasy It had the ability to slide around on my plate. I asked for half a portion of Chicken balls and the lady laughed.. rather rude.... I some how ended up paying extra, I double checked the menu and still can't work out the difference. Would not recommend if you are a single person or if you have taste budds.

Always great food always great service. Best Chinese takeaway in MK by a mile. Just wish it was a sit in restaurant too.

Friendly welcoming service. Food was fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommended.

Great food at sensible prices, never been disappointed

Always Friendly staff, parking is still very good and always have my order ready when I collect .

Delicious food, always quick service and very friendly.

Always a fantastic meal. These guys are the best in Milton Keynes

Great food delivered on time would highly recommend

Visiting Pottersbury and went for Takeaway on recommendation.

Very tasty food. Social distancing and wearing of masks observed, along with a one way system and hand sanitisers available. Shall definitely return as the food was delicious.

It's bin a while since our last Chinese, this meal certainly hit the spot, we will be going back.

Great tasting food, good selection and always well prepared. Friendly, efficient staff. Quick turnaround time from order to pickup or they delivery if you prefer.

The food has become very good. Yum!

Very tasty meal worth the money

Nice food quick and friendly service

Is was very good Chinese food and authenticate

Our favourite Chinese takeaway here in MK!

Very tasty food. Definitely worth a try. Yum yum yum

We love Chinese food and have tried them all locally. However, we always return to Bamboo Cottage as the food is consistently excellent and the staff so friendly. Best in MK by a mile...

Great food and swift delivery always. Definitely the best Chinese takeaway this part of Milton Keynes

Some of the best Chinese food available locally - lovely staff and quick service

Great take away, friendly service and good quality food ♥

Great food as always keep it up

Not as much bamboo as I've liked. But this is a go to for us. Friendly staff. Very good

Very good service and great food

I dont normally "do" Chinese food mainly because I'm not too adventurous with food. However what I got was really nice and filling and the staff were lovely too.

Food was perfection! Lovely place, lovely staff 😘

Visited here following recommendations from neighbours/friends, but we will not be returning. The rice was lovely (egg-fried and special-fried), however all other dishes were not very nice. The crispy chilli beef and the sweet and sour chicken hong kong style were soggy- these should have a crispier coating. The flavour of the sweet and sour chicken was okay though. The chicken in black bean sauce was also soggy and lacked taste. Do not think that this is value for money costing close to £30, and the delivery time was an hour. Such a shame considering heard lovely things in the past.

Lovely food and customer service!!

Always great food and great service

Great service and superb food very tasty!!

Tried to order a meal, the first time it seemed like a family row was happening, the second time they answered the telephone and nothing.The other phone number you got a reply that the voicemail was full and therefore you could not get through.Some way to run a business, I shall certainly pass my concerns on to my friends and workmates!

Perfect food. Great service. Lovely staff.

Great Chinese takeaway. Great portion sizes.

I ordered a take away for collection tonight to be collected at 7pm. Unfortunately my daughter got stuck in the traffic caused by the accident on the A5 roundabout. The staff were so kind and helpful. They reassured me that our food would be cooked freshly when my daughter arrived. They even called me at 7.45 to make sure we got our take away freshly cooked and to check on my daughters expected arrival. When my daughter finally arrived at 8pm, they offered her and my niece and nephew a free drink and gave us a freshly cooked meal. I am so impressed with the service. What a lovely experience! Food was great too. Thank you to your staff.

Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff

Lovely food, a little on the spicey side but very nice.

Very hit and miss Sometimes it's nice other times its questionable. I love crispy chilli beef but not from here . you can just tell they re heat it in a microwave. Had worse but had better too

Food is great and they love to provide outstanding customer service

Freshly cooked delicious food - also a really nice menu - lots of choice. Great service and always super friendly staff.

Meal for one great value and tasty

Great food and service everytime.

Had the best takeaway we’ve ever had Lemon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian lamb and prawns lovely. Prawn toast and crispy chilli beef.

Great food great service decent prices. No complaints. 😊👍

Great tasting Chinese food and reasonably priced

I ordered: chicken satay - tough and stringyStir fry tofu with mixed vegetables- barely any veg. A few onions, one piece of mange tout and a few mushrooms, hardly mixed vegetables. Was very bland. Pineapple fried rice - they brought me chicken fried rice. My husband ordered egg fried rice with beef with bamboo shoots and mushrooms which was tasteless. Really disappointing and won’t be ordering from here again.

I very rarely leave reviews only if something is very good or very bad! If the lack of stars did not give it away let me clarify... the Chinese takeaway we ordered was very very very bad! I am almost certain that all the food was bought in and thrown in a frier. Every bit of food was uniform in size, shape and taste! I want to take this opportunity to apologise to my wife as it was my idea to order from there. I feel so strongly about this, I want to track down the people who gave this restaurant 4+ stars and expose there for the New Delhi Bots they probably are, or buy them a meal, because if anyone else this world needs one, it’s definitely them. Unbelievable!

Good takeaway, tasty food which isn't too salty

Ok but chicken ball batter very poor. Very doughy. Mixed starters ok. Wouldn't recommend but just ok.

Brilliant food great service and great staff

Good food and great customer service

Always nice and friendly service :) Been many times and never had a problem, does what it says on the tin

Our take away tonight was amazing. Great taste and plenty of it. Try the Szechuan Prawns with garlic & hot pepper sauce - delicious and plenty of chicken in the chicken fried rice also.

Ordered beef in black beans and a side of bean sprouts which were that over cooker were not eatable! Beef was so chewey! Second time trying here won’t try again !

The best Chinese take away in milton Keynes Friendly and polite staff 👍

Very friendly and quick service. Food was delicious.

The food is really fresh and nice good place little gem

This Chinese take-away delivers too.The food from 'Bamboo Cottage' is superb & the staff are very accommodating (if for example you want something 'off menu' or 'MSG free').My family have been ordering food from here since it 1st. opened.The Bamboo Cottage has always had 5* from 'SNC' for hygiene.

The vegetable in “Vegetarian Chow mein” weren’t fresh and tasted like have been out of date. The noodles were BURNED and the dish tasted really bad. Disappointment!

Great food. Just remember it's not a sit in restaurant

This was the third time we tried here after a poor meal. Three strikes and we will no longer go back. Satay chicken was raw tonight. Egg fried rice was bland and lacking in egg and flavour. They also need to change the way they make their Chow mein. It is like no other Chinese takeaway or restaurant that I have been to. More like soup and definitely not with crispy noodles as written in the menu. I am amazed that they have been going for so long and amazed at all the good reviews! Surely we couldn't have been this unlucky 3 times in a row...?

Good food, but you now have to spend £15 minimum to use a card, not good when there's only one of you.....

Good Chinese takeaway, friendly staff and god value portions. Particularly like their Crispy Duck and pancakes. Plenty of parking.

On Sunday 21/01/18 my partner and I ordered a Chinese take away from Bamboo Cottage.We ordered:No. 7 statay chicken skewers £5.90No. 95 sweet and sour chicken hong kong style £5.50No. 114 beef chow mein £5.50No. 150 chips £2.30Upon getting it home and sitting down to eat we quickly realised that there was something very wrong with the satay chicken, it was off, the texture was very mushie and had a very strange taste. This totally put us off our take away meal which was extremely disappointing. I decided to phone and complain which I don't normally do. I spoke to a chap that identified himself as Tim, I explained the problem and received an apologise and an offer of a free meal next time which was somewhat what I expected. We did not have a further meal that night because the thought of a replacement had put us off. Tim said when you order again, explain to whoever you speak to that you spoke to me and everything will be sorted out for you. Later that night and into the following day this caused us both to have an upset stomach, something was really not right with the food.On Friday 26/01/18 after a long day, we decided to have a Chinese take away rather than cook ourselves as we were also due to go out. I called up Bamboo Cottage and spoke to a female, placed our order and proceeded to explain the conversation with Tim the other night and that he had said to me that we were entitled to a free take away.I had ordered the following...No. 95 sweet and sour chicken hong kong style £5.50No. 114 beef chow mein £5.50No. 150 chips £2.30No. 58 Crispy Lamb £7.00The conversation was difficult, I found it hard for her to understand what it was I was saying, she continued to say that this had not been discussed with her and that she had no knowledge of this. After a while of getting no where, I asked to speak with Tim, I was told although he was there he was in the kitchen. After a little longer I was getting very frustrated, I told the female that I did not want the order at all now and that she can cancel it. My partner was not impressed and decided to call them back and insisted that she speak with Tim. After a very long and exhausting conversation Tim refused to honour what he had originally said he would do, he now offered only a refund of £5.50 for the satay chicken. Throughout he insisted it was all cooked from fresh, I find this somewhat hard to be the case, he also laughed and constantly over spoke my partner. My partner also tried to explain how the food had affected us all of which Tim was not interested in listening to.We still have the chicken, which has been frozen and we have this evening reported the takeaway to the food standards authority and local authority. This level of service is totally unacceptable. All for what was only £16.92, the cost is nothing in the grand scheme of things, it is the attitude and behaviour which is not acceptable.Personally I would avoid this take away and encourage others to do the same.

Last minute option for a takeaway on New Years Eve. Good food, reasonable delivery charge. Has now become first option.

As no one wanted to start cooking at home on a public holiday we drove to collect a takeaway. Range of food is very good. If you live nearer they will deliver but it was interesting to wait while ours was prepared. We chose about ten dishes and almost finished the lot.

Friendly staff, tasty food and good value for money

Always good and worth the wait if they are busy.

Really tasty Chinese takeaway. Food is good value too

Good food, fast service, local delivery

This is a convenient takeaway with good portions and great prices. Calling in orders is quick and we never have to wait for food. Try mixed meat with fried noodles... it is great.

Great food, great service with prices to match. Do pay a visit if u enjoy great Chinese food.

Fabulous flavours. Timing spot on for collection. Reasonable price/portion

best Chinese takeaway in south northants

The food is good quality and reasonable portions, it is takeaway only

Very friendly staff and helpful as well.

fantastic food, excellent service:) authentic hot tasty and culturally diverse reflecting all areas of chineese cuisine. we order time and time again, always happy.

Very decent, keep going back for more

This is an ideal place to call upon when you relaise you have no melas left and want a quick, easy takeaway.We have used this service a few times now and have always had a good experience. The orders have always been correct, complimentary prawn crackers and well packaged food, plus your order is usually ready for collection in around 20 minutes.Our last order was special rice, chicken chow mein and satay chicken. The food tasted fresh, piping hot and the meat was a good texture and did not taste rubbery like some takeaways do.The menu is extensive and even caters for those with no sense who want to order chips!

Brilliant service, friendly staff and good food

We get takeaways here quite regularly. Always get the same duck with pancakes, S/S chicken Hong Kong style, Chicken noodles , special fried rice. Excellent, fast service, friendly and delicious food. Highly recommend.

Had a delivery recently and found it expensive for what I got, plus I had to pay a £3.00 delivery charge for a local delivery. Delivery used to be included, think this will put a lot of people off

Nice food and very friendly staff. Have eaten from here 3-4 times now and no complaints. Telephone order was wrong once as we were given someone elses meal but it was soon rectified no problem.

Regularly use this takeaway. Tasty food and always a friendly welcome on a Thursday.

Great, reliable and seriously tasty takeaway!! A new favourite of mine for those cheeky cheat days!!

Amazing Chinese food, great service, Shredded chili beef and Mongolian lamb are my favorites, excellent equality food, must try

I always have at least one or 2 meals when I stay at the Travelodge around the corner. The food is alway excellent and lots of it for the price.

Disgusting Service,Absolutely Disgusting,Not Recommended,Appalling People.
