The menu had a vast selection of meal choices. I wasn’t impressed with my stir- fry with chicken. It didn’t have much taste. I had to add a great deal of soy sauce to give it flavor. We also had egg rolls which I only had a couple bites. Again, no flavor.

Overall, dining at this Bambu was a truly memorable experience. It’s the kind of place you want to go for a special occasion or when you simply want to treat yourself to an exceptional meal. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Right as you enter, you’re greeted with a free-standing water fall fountain. We were seated almost immediately. We were here during lunch.
Food quality: the spring rolls and egg rolls were good! The spring rolls were made fresh. The egg rolls weren’t hard to chew, and the meats inside were just the right amount with a slight taste of a sweet ingredient. The sushi rolls were well made and good for the price. The Bùn (Vietnamese Noodle Salad) with chicken was very delicious. The noodles were soft and mixed well with the greens and chicken.
This is a great asian restaurant as it looks like it’s the only one in the area. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

Bambu Kitchen and Sushi is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and comfortable, perfect for a casual meal or a relaxed night out. Fresh sushi, portions are generous and prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I always leave satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend Bambu Kitchen and Sushi to anyone looking for excellent sushi and Asian cuisine in Oakdale, MN.

When my wife and I walked in, we decided to give the restaurant a try because she had been there years ago and wanted to see if anything had changed enough to make us want to return. I ordered the teriyaki chicken kabobs for my appetizer and the chicken and shrimp Pad Thai. The food was delivered on a robot, which was pretty cool.
However, the noodles in the Pad Thai were hard, the chicken tasted a bit stale, and they messed up my order; there were no shrimp in it. The man working there remade the dish, and while it was okay, the chicken still tasted like it was a day old. My wife didn’t care much for her Pho either.
The biggest disappointment was that I came to visit this restaurant specifically to try the sushi, and there was no sign or notice on the door stating that sushi wouldn’t be available because the chef was gone for a week and a half. We didn’t find out there was no sushi until we put our appetizer order in, which should have been told prior to us being seated. I was glad to give the restaurant a try, but I won’t be returning. The food lacked flavor, the decor was rather basic, and not having sushi, which was the main reason for my visit, was just too much of a letdown for a first visit.

Fantastic service and the food was amazing! We got the drunken mussels and shrimp tempura to start. The mussels were by far the star! The sauce they bring them out with, I wish I had some bread to soak it up! The sushi was fantastic. The rolls were the red scorpion and the salmon skin roll. Very good flavors! Finally we had the hamachi and salmon belly nigiri, and Toro sashimi. A-mazing! No fishy flavor, buttery and could taste each fish was of great quality. Definitely a sushi place being slept on! The rest of the menu looked fantastic including Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food and what other people ordered smelt delicious! Will definitely be back!

went here for the first time a couple days ago, they got hit with a dinner rush and as a result we waited a lot longer than usual (longer than the other patrons), once we got our sushi, it was great. and the lovely man running the front discounted our total as an apology for the wait!! great guy and great restaurant to support. him doing that solidified my choice to return to this restaurant. they care about their customers! thanks Bambu! 🙂

I’m sorry, for those who say this place is good. This place is really not.
I placed an order for pickup @12pm, expected wait time was 30 minutes, so pick up was @12:30pm.
Got there @12:32pm, and the order wasn’t even made yet. Are you serious?
Currently it’s 1:01pm, and im still waiting for my order, and the place is not busy. There is only 3-4 tables full, out of all of the tables

Came for lunch . My first time here. First impressions- lovely decorations . They have a very extensive menu. I ordered a large both of Pho (special) – broth was good, garnishes were fresh: plenty of meat and noodles. A large bowl is $16, a little more than the other similar restaurants serving pho near the area. Service experience and my expectations: I was seated right away, however a robot brought me my soup – the server never came to serve me the soup – I had to stand up out of my set and serve myself a hot bowl of soup. Then was expected to know how the robot works to press a button to return the robot to the kitchen. Other than seating me, No server came back at anytime after- to ask me how my meal was or if I needed anything else. I don’t like having to interface with the robot. And I don’t like when I had to get a hot bowl of soup from the robot. Maybe I am old school- but when I come into a restaurant I do expect to be served unless if I go to a buffet that you know you serve yourself. Even at a buffet, you have a Server checking in with you. At the hotpot places , a robot brings food to your table but a server removes the food and serves it to you. Appears to be a lot of menu choices , but because of the lack of human service and having to interface with the robot- Not sure if I will be back.
