Black Bamboo Chinese Restaurant

I will travel for this food. It was that good. Most places these days are greasy amd lack flavor but not here.

Heard a lot about this restaurant and decided to give it a try on Friday night for some takeout. Their new location is very convenient and on the border of Hartford and West Hartford. Staff was pleasant and service was speedy. The food however, it was mid and just OK especially for the price point. The rice was a bit undercooked and hard. The lo mein lacked flavor and was rather oily. The chicken wings were fried a bit too hard, which made them very dry. Overall, it could’ve been better, especially since this was opening day at their new location. I may give them another try in the future, and while it wasn’t terrible, I’ve had better.

As a vegan couple, we find options challenging locally … BUT NOT HERE! Black Bamboo has a lot of vegan options. We ordered the Black Bamsizzle, Kung Pao Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Broccoli with Garlic Sauce (all vegan). The staff was knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. The atmosphere was clean and very nice. I highly recommend Black Bamboo. Run, don’t walk!

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had!!! Hands down this food is fresh and amazing quality. The beef is super tender and the chicken is all white meat!!! I can’t say enough good things! Took my entire family and everyone has been raving about it. Also super clean inside and friendly staff
