Bamboo House in Cherwell

Food taste great! All you can eat menu has great number of choices! Recommend this place if you want to taste asian food.

Small portions and food lacked flavour

I like this place when I am coming here for the bottomless sushi brunch, however to order a takeaway is a biggest mistake you could do. We spent like 30 pounds, just for two small portions of noodles and delivery charge which was £6!!! The food had no flavour at all, portions were minimalistic if you compare them to any other Chinese shops in Bicester. It is the worst Chinese food for delivery I would say. And one more time want to stress out that when you dine in it is like different place and service, food and prices are totally fine :D

Didnt get what i ordered got a cheaper alternative whoch i dont like

Probably the worst King Prawn Curry we have ever had. Prawns no taste whatsoever, they just tasted of water. The curry sauce was also very bland and lacking in any taste or flavours. Ended up throwing it away as was inedible really. Very disappointing as have used this establishment before ( not for curry ) and it was very nice.

Absolutely no complaints, meals ordered for 3 and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. Would definitely order again.

The chicken was ice cold and red inside

Always early, always the best quality food (although the crispy seaweed changed recently and isn't as good sadly). I would not get Chinese food - or sushi - from anywhere else. Also very quick and helpful when something is missing.

Very nice, hot food, just took an hour but really a problem

Food was very cold and taste aweful and had a horrible smell

Very bad tasting food, asked the waitress for some vinegar, she went to the kitchen for a few minutes and came out like nothing happened and didn't tell you if there was any or not, you had to ask again and got a reply that there was no vinegar. Can you believe that a restaurant telling you they have no vinegar?

Food was lukewarm. Crispy beef was more like soggy beef and sweet & sour sauce was very watery and runny. App was never updated and was delivered early and I was never updated as to ETA or when out for actual delivery. Very medicore.

Food wasn’t good and very small portions. Wouldn’t go back here.

Comprehensive menu. Good value, great quality food which arrived piping hot. No apparent MSG or similar high sodium flavourings. Looking forward to ordering again. But we had no use for the complementary bottle of Tango.

Poor quality of food. It was not as expected .

Ordered from here before but this time it was poor. Sweet and sour was pale pink and you couldn’t tell or taste the difference between the pork and chicken. The deep fried beef was limp and pale. Not good at all!

Very poor experience, used dead lobster, food safety issues are worrying

Been here 3 moths ago and just remembered what a crazy experience this was. Sushi was alright but whatever you do just DO NOT get PAD THAI noodles. It tastes like sweaty feet and I am not joking. Worst dish of my life. Also we have been told by the owner/waitress that if we were unable to finish all of our portions we had to pay extra which we literally struggled as we were stuffed but had to finish so we didn’t pay extra which is bizarre, you can t force someone to overeat. Just don’t bother going and spending useless money

Food was almost cold not taste at all completely rubbish sorry

I called the restaurant twice to get the delivery. It took about 2 hours. Will not order again.

Ordered from here because Rice King was closed on Tuesdays…bad Mistake. The delivery was 2 hours late and when arrived it had as awful smell and taste, like a burt smell and flavor that was unmanageable. We all ordered chicken chow mein and no one could eat it. Luckily we had some frozen pizza in the freezer as a backup. £30 wasted on garbage that was two hours late. Never again! Hope you enjoyed the £3 tip.

good food, but expensive delivery costs at £5

food quality wasn't that good this time considering we paid £50 there wasn't a lot of food 6 very small chicken wings we got for £8.40 that's terrible and the h'ors d'oeuvere were really small and not worth the nearly £12 we paid for it also in the food itself there seem to be hardly any meat in it and more veg

The food was not great, sweet and sour chicken was over cooked and the sauce was like vinegar runny and overpowered with vinegar. Ribs were dry covered in pure honey. Special fried rice was very bland, the only nice dish was beef and mushroom. Extremely disappointing

It was only 10 minutes late, so not too bad, but the food was excellent

Looking at the menu online looks great. NEVER order from here for delivery!!!! Estimated arrival was 21:30, received at 22:25!!! When I phoned the restaurant at 22:00 was rudely told to wait as food was given to Driver over 20 minutes earlier. Some of the food looked undercooked and EVERYTHING was cold. No customer service skills when I phoned restaurant either and delivery guy was just as bad. Definitely will NOT be ordering from here again, very VERY disappointed!!!

I cannot recommend Bamboo House highly enough. It wasn't the first time in Bamboo. It's always amazing. Foods are freshly and tasty. Fresh is the most important thing for sushi or sashimi dish. Bamboo house can keep the highest quality all the time.

I went in to get some answers to Google questions and was absolutely surprised by how spacious and vibrant the place is. I love it! ❤️ Naturally, I had to try their food as well, and it didn't disappoint. The waiter was really helpful in assisting me with choosing the right dish, as I am a bit of a picky eater. Their recommendation was spot on. As I cleaned my plate! 😁 I am definitely coming back with friends, and I’m planning to try the sushi next time. It looks so good!

Excellent food couple of orders wrong but its an all you can eat venue with food served to the table nice staff greast sushi lovely place will revisit if ever back in the area well done guys.

The food was very bland and unseasoned , not up to usual standard. The chips were obviously undercooked but cold

The boss is super nice! We were also treated to fruits and desserts I want to eat it again next time~~~

Delivery drivers are always very friendly. Food is really good. Best Chinese delivery.

no prawn crackers coke was warm and only had little bit of sauce

We have date on our wedding anniversary and choose bamboo house. First what we see is atmosphere the wallpaper come off, one lady waitress on a rush. Food was very dry, feels not really fresh, portions are so tiny. For few small plates and two cokes we paid 64£. I feel is absolutely ridiculous. The Chinese take away in town center Wah hong deserve 5 stars if compare... Not recommend this place.

I just went to there and had their new menu ( Chicken ramen ) and egg fried rice. I really disappointed with my food. Chicken is the main in the Chicken Ramen, is it right?. I couldn't eat any of chicken pieces because it was so hard to chew also very smelly. Maybe the chicken was uncooked . The noodle as well. Egg fried rice was so dry. Very disappointed with their food and service! Also they took service charge without saying. With this food and service, is it right to do that?

supposed to be about 1800 arrived around 1730 curry sauce was Thai green watery rubbish , chilli beef strips glutinous stoggy ,sweet and sour sauce tasteless and watery very disappointed would not recommend

Have given one star in order to share a review. Menu looks lovely but didn't have allergy info clearly shown, (unclear photo on Google photos said enquire when ordering) so called up before we ordered as I am Coeliac.. so need Gluten Free. Person on phone didn't know what Gluten was so we couldn't safely order anything. We therefore went elsewhere. Disappointed as it looked lovely.

Sadly, I won’t try here again, due to it not being up to the same standards as other takeaways. The food was very bland, chips / prawn crackers tasted old and the squid was flavourless…….just not great I’m afraid.

It was great although rice did not have egg.but fabulous vegetables,ll great.

I loved the crispy vegetables.rice they forgot egg rice .really nice dinner thank you .

the chicken Balls were over cooked. chicken was very chewy & not tender. The batter was dark brown & not golden brown. I only ordered on here because I didn't have cash on me to pay for my normal restaurant & didn't want to collect. I feel I wasted my hard earned money.

Delicious sushi rolls! I've no idea how anyone can eat more than two rounds of food but I'm willing to keep trying! It's £25 all you can eat plus service. Which when you see how much you get is brilliant value, especially given the quality of the dragon rolls.

My friend and I were very happy with our choice of venue for lunch today. The food was delicious (I had King Prawn and Cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce with fried rice). Yummy! Our waitress was lovely and looked after us really well. I will certainly go back. I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was a quiet time.

Quickly served. Ordered a mushroom fried rice to take out. The rice was rubbery, stale and chewy, the mushrooms were tasteless and pale and exploded with old oil tastes. The whole dish was swimming in oil, tasted terrible and I didn’t finish it. Their food isn’t fresh and simply fried and slung in a box. I wouldn’t trust it on my guts again.

Disappointing Expensive food and slow table service, No explanation of how to order from menu.

Very efficient service, staff members are friendly and the all you can eat buffet is a good deal.

Really small portions for how expensive it is. Food was cold when arrived. Wouldn’t order from here again

lovely food and I'll be ordering from there again for sure....delivery driver also was very pleasant and altogether a very good transaction.. 10 out of 10 👍👍

It was all very dried up and the prawn toast and some of the chicken balls were un edible not very nice

small portions. the sauce was salty. and I think there was msg in it which gave me a headache.

Very good fresh food. Mainly had sushi which was wonderful. Only downside, was it was so cold in the resturant. Most customers were eating with their coats on, but it was very cold outside too.

Most of the food was great our pork balls were a bit dry though

delivered piping hot and delicious!!

Great food, served fresh and delicious; super friendly staff that takes care of your needs (including baby’s). We tried the all you can eat menu, and it was flawless. It as everything that we were looking for and more, cozy friends and family place for botomless sushi 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An item was missing and was quickly and politely replaced.

Memorable dinner on our visit to bicester. Totally recommended. Plenty of choices and good service.

Nicely cooked food. Pad Thai seems very bland to me.

I recently dined at this restaurant in Oxford, and the culinary experience was consistently excellent. The chef's skill in crafting beautifully presented dishes with fresh and high-quality ingredients truly stood out. The kitchen staff was friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the one drawback that prevents me from returning frequently is the inconsistent service from a particular waitress. At times, her demeanor can be rather rude and abrupt, even enforcing arbitrary rules like limited sushi ordering times. While I can't confirm if she's the owner, it's crucial for her to reconsider her approach, as several friends I recommended had a similar experience, leading them to avoid returning. Despite the outstanding cuisine, it's disheartening that such exceptional food is accompanied by subpar service.

Exceptional Japanese food. The "all you can eat" menu is exceptional, the staff are excellent - friendly, attentive and quick. The restaurant is a little basic, but I can not rush forgive that as the investment is all in the food. We go there about almost weekly. Best food within 10 miles of Bicester.

Great quality as always and delivered by a warm and friendly driver. Great service

Ordered plain chow main but it was not plain. The rest of the food was great

Delivery was much longer than advertised. Food wasn’t amazing, definitely better Chinese restaurants in Bicester. I wouldn’t order again. Disappointed.

I’ll start by saying I have eaten here 2 times before and the food has been much better. And also that they did seem incredibly busy, however! The food tubs we all half full as you can see from the pictures. Including chips and prawn crackers. The Tom yum soup was half full and had no ingredients in it, except 2 small prawns and a tiny amount of cabbage. The Thai green curry chicken was runnier than water, no starch added to thicken it up. The service was poorer than normal and more rude, and to top it off, they tried to charge me twice! I’m not sure I’ll be going back, I certainly will never order take away again!

The egg fried rice was at least a few days old. Smelled so bad we had to bin it. Chicken portion looked like someone had already eaten half of it. Squid was also not good at all. Noodles were ok this is why I rate it 2 stars and not 1.

Never had such an unpleasant meal. Waitress and boss were flirting behind the counter and ignored the customers, causing delays in us being served. The worst thing was the waitress’s professionalism - put her finger inside the dishes, disgusting

Tastes nothing like authentic food

Unfortunately the food quantity was extremely poor hardly tasted of anything

We were a party of 5 on a Monday night. Service was exceptional & waiter was extremely helpful. Great food would highly recommend

The egg fried rice was old. The rice smelt as soon as i opened the rice smelt bad like an old rice. Also there was literally 5 tiny pieces of egg in my fried rice

Great variety and loveeeeee the sushi! All delivered earlier than expected time. Perfect choice takeaway if your party all love different foods types. Something for everyone and all excellent! Definitely recommend!

Ordered 2 meals to eat in.half the food came to table had to wait 15 minutes for rest of food by this time the initial food was cold.very dissapointed has been good on previous visits has put me off visiting again

Order was wrong but was corrected easily and very quickly

Just bit short of vegetables 2 small pieces of broccoli no complaints for the dinner LUSH .just not enough vegs .Yes I would order again try a different dish with vegetables.Thank you .Happy Christmas.

The delivery was 30 minutes late and cold once it got here.

We had the eat as much as you like menu which includes Chinese, Japanese and Thai. Small individual portions so able to sample several different dishes, some recommended by staff. Food was good quality. A good sign is when the Chinese are eating there as well

Had all you can eat menu for £25.90. You order what you like from the menu and they bring it out for you. The largest choice I've ever seen on an all you can eat menu - it was pretty close to the full menu with the exception of things like fillet steak. So it includes king prawns and duck etc. Some of the portions were quite small (most of the "mains" and starters) but the Japanese roll portions were big so start with a few items and then reorder if you want more of the same. The prawn spring rolls were excellent but all of the food was very good. Service friendly and reasonably attentive. The price of the all you can eat is OK if you eat plenty but if you are a light eater then better to order from the a la carte. Place itself is OK - seemed clean enough but not a fancy place. Highly recommended if you want a massive range of food and decent quality Ps posting pics of all you can eat menu as couldn't find these anywhere online or on website until we got in the restaurant

It just beyond me how your food can be so different when we eat in, delicious and fresh, nothing to complain about, but when you deliver it is like coming from a different kitchen. Pad thai was awful, prawns tasted old, salt and chilli squid wasn't fresh, seemed like it was fried twice. Disappointing

Chips and chicken balls were very hard, chicken pieces were dry :( prawns nice though.

Not worth the price at all. Spent over 100 pounds for my family of 5 to eat and no one liked their dishes. Bland and just not great. Even the Coke I ordered was horrible!! It was brought out with no ice in glass and flat.

Very good food and very fast delivery

Spent nearly £45.00 on what tasted like sushi that was made a day or two ago. The rice was mushy/soggy (seemed like it had been sat in the fridge for a bit, or cooked with too much water) and the fish didn't taste overly fresh either. The menu was very good with lots to choose from, but was disappointed with the sushi which is what I went in for after seeing the reviews.

I was in need of some good sushi and tried Bamboo House: they didn't disappoint! Was greeted upon arrival to tranquil atmosphere and decor. The waitress gave me the options of all you can eat or a lá cart and let me know they only accept cash which was fine with me as I'm used to that when eating Far East Asian cuisine. From my ordering to bring served was very quick. The waitress checked regularly to see if everything was OK and if I wanted my sake reheated. From what I could see, she was attentive to all patrons that came in. She even recommended a sauce combo the made my already lovely spider maki phenomenal! I'm in the area for work and this restaurant will definitely be visited again!

we went for the all you can Eat Menu . you can order 4 potions at a time ( all freshly cooked to order) you can order up to a Max of 16 portions each. The menu offers Chinese food Thai food & Japanese food . Great to have freshly cooked food to order small individual portion so you can try out lots of different dishes . Great service and helpful staff

Food was very bland missing items probably the worst Chinese I've had. What's going on with Chinese round Bicester they are all getting the same. Tasteless your get better meal from Iceland microwave section

Always very polite and food never disappoints.

Delicious. I always order from here and I’m never disappointed! Delivery guy was very friendly!

The food was amazing, proper tasty a real change from normal chinese food will definitely be returning

1st time ordering and it was beautiful! Super quick too, but would have been happy with the predicted time of 50mins also.

The sushi here is so good! My favourite in Bicester!

Food was bland and potions small- starter was not worth the £12

incredible. slightly worried as i’m always apprehensive trying a new place, but this is an amazing restaurant. big portions, lovely taste, definitely ordering again!

Host was really aggressive..not a good experience. Would not recommend to anyone that wants to have a quite night out.

Fantastic Sushi, great and friendly service

Brilliant service as usual, thanks

It was our first time visiting this area and went here for dinner as a family. The menus had a variety to choose from and the atmosphere was lovely. We each had a bento box and salmon sushi rolls as a side dish, which was very filling and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here for either a dine in or a takeaway!

We enjoyed the delicious meals and very warmth service of Mandi who looked after us very well Love to visit to dine again

Mandy, is very pleasant and provided amazing service. Thank you very much.

Recently had a takeaway with the food being cold on arrival many dishes where tough and flavourless definitely won’t be going back and I had been a regular customer until now

The food was very good and I really loved the décor of the restaurant.

Wonderful lunch with my daughter. Amazing food. Not been before but will definitely go again. Well worth a visit
