Bamboo Grille Asian restaurant located on Elmsley Ct in Greensboro, North Carolina is immediately next door to a Subway fast food restaurant and there are many other businesses nearby. The parking lot is large with adequate parking spaces.
My family and I tried food at Bamboo Grille Asian cuisine restaurant for the first time recently.
The booth table furnishings at Bamboo Grille restaurant need some professional cleaning and possible updating. Some of the other furnishings such as the more centrally located tables in the restaurant seemed fine though. I was not particularly impressed with this restaurant. It was just okay. Opening at 11am on the recent Sunday that we visited, this restaurant, Bamboo Grille was practically empty when we first arrived shortly after 11am. Three little girls were playing and walking comfortably around the restaurant. Clearly, they were family members of people that were working there on that day.
Not too long after we arrived at the Bamboo Grille restaurant, the popularity of this restaurant could not be disputed as it began to get very crowded. By noon, every table in the restaurant was occupied! This is something that I have rarely seen at all in this area and I have eaten food at many different restaurants. People toward the front of the restaurant were sitting on benches and also standing as they were waiting for available tables! It was quite surprising. Perhaps the day and time (Sunday around noon) contributed to the restaurant being particularly crowded.
Another thing of note was that the women’s rest room did not contain several stalls but rather, there was only ONE toilet in the rest room. This caused lines to form for the bathroom with some people knocking on the door to the bathroom as they were waiting their turn to use it! I’ve never really noticed that before in a restaurant of that size that can serve so many people. There should definitely be more toilets available there. There is no doubt.
Back in the main area of the restaurant, besides for some old, dingy furniture that I had noticed, most of the area for dining seemed generally clean and welcoming. The waiter was polite as I presented my restaurant coupon to say that we would be partaking of the buy one entrée get one entrée free (BOGO) dining special valued at up to $7.00. He briefly explained with pointing and gesturing, what food menu items the coupon could qualify for and what food menu items the coupon could not qualify for, according to particular columns on the menu. It was very straight forward. Ultimately, we were able to get $7 off our total bill as we ordered California roll sushi for an appetizer for $4.75 and two of the walnut shrimp entrees, each priced at $12.99 and served with fried rice. The prices on the food menu were generally reasonable. There were just three of us there on that day. I went alone with my two sons, so there was plenty of food for us to share around and also bring some home in a container. Our bill of approximately $30 was reduced to approximately $23 with the added coupon and then we gave the waiter a tip.
It was a pleasant time but both the taste of the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant were just average, not better than average, in my opinion. The walnut shrimp had a tasty accompanying sauce and the broccoli florets were very fresh and tasty. The fried rice was okay but I have had better fried rice at some other Asian restaurants. I have also had better tasting California roll at some other Asian restaurants. The California roll from Bamboo Grille restaurant tasted mediocre in comparison to California roll that I have had at some other places. California roll is often a favorite food menu item of mine at Asian restaurants in general. I would recommend Bamboo Grille as a restaurant to dine in but I would not highly recommend it.
