"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."

"I am going to this assessment with the fact that my family at joe often dinates. as one or two times a month, we do not make the journey of san jose a problem. joe’s is my family tradition and will continue to be. but this visit has prompted me to leave a review as I was always used to improve the food and service. not so much last night. they were all small things that were added to a bad visit. here is the sequence of the misses in no particular order of the positive 9:45 reserve event 9:20-seated 9:35-nice. 1. 15 minutes are waiting for contact to order 2. the margarita the wife came with a sugar rim instead of a salt rim 3. instead of two 4. did not bring the spoon after the second clam Chowder-just was thrown off by the chowder without asking if everything is good 5. a place where the fork in our group is missing. 6. Drinks were served shortly before main dishes, not in the usual contemporary wise. we can say the drinks for a past. 7. Spaghetti side had dried/hard noodles mixed in-that was the problem that prompted me to leave the review. we can deal with a late arriving spoon and fork, but the center of joe’s menu cannot be underpar. 8. bathroom unattended. no toilet paper in the women's stable. men are running over with paper towels. we could say that the crew has run off a busy night. that was cleared and closed when we had our meal. Maybe next time I have to make an earlier reservation. Joes vibe was all wrong on this."

"This was truly the worst dining experience of my life, and I dine out a lot. To be fair, it was their Easter buffet, not the usual dining, so your results may vary. Upon entering, we were barely greeted but brought to our large table. It was a table for eight though we were a party of four, so it was very awkward but compared to the food, that part was nothing. Despite it being an 11am reservation, this was not brunch food but rather only dinner type of food. Everything looked incredibly unappetizing. The vegetables were green beans and corn that had to have been from cans. They were swimming in a weird liquid and looked inedible. There was mashed potatoes and stuffing that seemed ok, along with turkey, some sort of pulled beef, and possibly ham. There were two kinds of gravy, both congealed looking despite it being the first reservation of the day. I tried the turkey, beef, potatoes, stuffing, and the light gravy. The potatoes and stuffing were ok, the meat was exceedingly dry. I could barely cut the turkey. There was also fruit salad which was partially frozen yet mushy at the same time. My family, who usually will eat any dessert item, did not find the selection appealing. Even the rolls were bad. The salad was iceberg lettuce plus a bunch of difficult to identify mayo-soaked slaws of various sorts. Even the coffee was undrinkable. They brought us the check almost immediately and included an automatic gratuity that was not advertised. After not eating more than a few bites of anything, we paid the check and left. It was clear that we were very dissatisfied, yet no one inquired a single time. The manager who barely greeted us was at the door as we left and said nothing, not even a goodbye. This cost us $115 for a few bites of mashed potatoes, a couple of dry rolls, and some flat soda for my daughter. The fact that no one inquired as to our experience was definitely the worst part."
