Bamboo Grill

John Whorfin 3 weeks ago

First time at this restaurant. We wanted to try Filipino food and saw it had good reviews. My wife isn't Filipino but grew up around Filipino neighbors her whole life, built lifelong friendships, and has had plenty of Filipino home cooking over the years. She ordered the Pancit with shrimp. The shrimp were cold and there were only two of them in the whole dish, we counted. The Pancit itself was just okay otherwise. I got the Bistek, good sized plate and good flavor, but I expected it to come with rice or some kind of side. It didn't, just the meat, nothing else. Staff were super nice though. There was an older gentleman singing karaoke in the corner, which was oddly endearing. Place was clean. Heads up, the entrance isn't on Washington Ave, it's around back of the building.

Bamboo grill is a great place to get some authentic Filipino food. We ordered: - lumpia: fried egg rolls stuffed with meat - pancit palabok: noodle dish - Lumpia sariwa: vegetable-stuffed crepe in a savory sauce - Liempo: grilled pork belly - Kare kare: oxtail stew with tripe and vegetables in a peanut sauce - Pusit (Grilled squid) - calamansi juice: citrus drink, like a lemonade - buko juice: coconut water with tender coconut pieces - Halo halo: shaved ice dessert Everything was excellent and highly recommended. The service is nice (as are most Filipinos) and food came out quickly. I felt like I was being served by my own auntie! The dining area takes up a former dance studio which explains the mirrored walls, neon lights and hardwood floors. There’s a lot of tables and enough space for your entire (extended) family plus friends. Have your next party there. There’s also some large screen TVs streaming YouTube videos of luxury cars cruising and flexing. Large speakers pump out jazz or some other music incongruent to the video. The space and music speak to the makeshift and adaptive nature of Filipino culture as well as to its often quirky notion of what’s appealing t

They were not lying when they said that they have Filipino family serving sizes!! The portions were huge and the quality of everything was amazing. The crispy pata was perfect, and the sinigang was so sour -- a great soup for the cold weather we had. We were so full but were glad we said yes to dessert. The cassava cake was served warm, it was probably one of the best ones we've had. From the moment we stepped in, we were made to feel like we were home! We also found out that the lady who served us is from the same province as us. I always appreciate when they're accommodating to our kids -- she asked us what our son wanted to watch and she played some Blippi on YouTube so we could eat in peace since no one else was dining there that evening. Also, I wanted to add that their restrooms were immaculately clean! It's always a great bonus.

What really makes this place stand out is the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner and staff go out of their way to make you feel like family. Whether you’re craving classic comfort food or introducing someone to Filipino cuisine, Bamboo Grill is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!
