Bamboo Seafood Restaurant 興旺餐廳 (粵菜)

I love their beef brisket rice Claypot. So delicious

In addition to the variety of authentic Cantonese dishes offered, the pumpkin yolk fries will have you transcending from this planet because of the crunch and unique flavor. Lively energy from the servers. A plus is the private rooms have karaoke!! Definitely worth checking out as they recently opened!

Pretty good for a small restaurant. They had one large table for 18 people in the back room. The food was basic Cantonese style. Service was good for a busy father's Day.

Typical and authentic Cantonese style cuisine in small and cramped setting. The food was good but not great. Felt like some dishes were missing the “wok hay” from the chef. Portion size was decent( see pictures). They gave a special dish for $1 of braised pork belly and picked cabbage- which we didn’t order or knew about. Out of all dishes, the BBQ meats platter was top pick. We didn’t order any live/fresh seafood, so maybe that’s what they’re known for. The waiter/waitress are the friendliest either- so don’t expect top notch service. All in all, decent Cantonese food in a small spot.

General: Came with a group of people, total ~ $400. Mandatory 15% tip ~ $60, the fact that waiters/servers have to rely on tips suck but its common practice in US, next time please just put the tip percentages on the receipt otherwise nobody knows your minimum tip. Food: theres a dish I forgot the name of, i don’t see it on the google map “recommend dish to others” list either, but the combination dish with the small fried fish, pork, pickled radish, small red squid, with plant and flower decor in the middle was pretty good. The house special fried rice was also good. The fried lobster was savory and filled with taste. Food came with Appetizer of chicken feet and ended with Orange slices. The fish… was ok i guess, i don’t recommend the veggies but that might be just me. Food is mostly ok, not the best, not the worst. The canned drinks are like ~$3 which is kind-of expected in a restaurant. 4/5 Service: servers were pretty nice. Well, most of them. Did their job. What can i say? 4/5 Atmosphere: tbh the group was kinda awkward, the tv is kinda useless because i would have to snap my neck 180 degrees. Also the ambient wasn’t exactly appetite inducing, the buzz of the tv and refrigerators makes me wanna sleep and i can’t focus on conversations, there is no real vibe. As so, maybe some music would be nice? Anyways 3 stars is average, 3/5
