"We were staying at the Holiday Inn nearby. My wife ordered Thai food from a restaurant on the same street and had me walk down the hill to pick it up for her. I wasn't in the mood for Thai and decided to pick something up from Bamboo. I was glad I did. I walked in and looked at their lunch menu. I ordered a combination lunch special... Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, and white rice. I could have had chow mein or fried rice instead of white rice. Based on how great the food tasted, I regret not getting it with chow mein, . The lunch special even came with and egg roll and soup (egg drop soup or hot sour soup). Unlike back home, they even gave the soup when getting take out. This was a nice surprise. I chose the hot sour soup. I had no complaints about any of my choices. All were delicious. The Kung Pao looked a little different than I am used to, it was tender sliced chicken and I am used to chucks or cubes of chicken. It had a very good sauce and I like it a lot. The Orange chicken was wonderful. It also looks a bit different than I am used to as the sauce was a little dark and it had thin slices of orange peel nested in the sauce. None the less, it was great., maybe the best I ever had. The egg roll was still crisp when I got it back to the room. And the soup was pretty good. A nice touch was a big wedge of orange in the container. They gave me two fortune cookies and two sets of plastic wear. An added bonus, I was served tea while waiting for my order. The place is small and not a fancy place, but the tea gave this place a touch of class. The price was very reasonable too. In short... I was very happy I went to Bamboo. If I had another day in San Francisco, I would have probably gotten food from here again. But would have tried the chow mein with the lunch special. The walk back up the hill was the only thing I didn't enjoy about this excursion. I am old, out of shape, and not built for hills."

"Wonderful!. This was a random choice for us because it was raining (again! as we left our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn and we asked for a recommendation from the reception people. I had read decent reviews of it, and have to say that it exceeded expectations on this Sunday evening.<br/ <br/ My husband and I were seated immediately. We both chose the Faroe Island salmon with the summer squash zuke salad with a vinaigrette dressing. I wanted to know where Faroe Island was, thinking it was most likely near Monhegan Island or some other Maine location, but no, it is an island in the North Sea between Norway and Iceland (as my very smart husband knew . So much for local cuisine. But it was delicious, and the veggies were amazing, with a delightful lemony seasoning. When I asked about the seasoning, our helpful server said she would inquire, and soon reported back that the herbs were parsley, mint, and basil. I will try to duplicate it at home, it was THAT good. <br/ <br/ I was accidentally served two glasses of chardonnay, but when an additional server dropped the second glass off and noticed a glass already on the table, he said, 'Oh, you already got your glass. Well, have two and this one is on us. ' Very gracious, and very consumed. <br/ <br/ For dessert, I followed our original server 's suggestion: the lime tart, with gin infused cherries (see photo! . Really tasty!!<br/ <br/ I highly recommend the Old Port Sea Grill and hope your experience is as satisfying as ours."
