Bamboo Bistro

Although I have known about this restaurant for more than a year, this was our first time eating at this restaurant. We decided to eat Kamayan style which is the Filipino tradition of eating with your hands. With Kamayan style, they basically lay banana leaves on the table and they put your food on top of the banana leaves. You use your hands to eat your food. Of course, you cant eat soup with your hands so they do provide you a bowl and a spoon for the soup. We ordered Kare-Kare, Crispy Pata, Talipia, Squid and a couple of other dishes. They were all good! However, it does take a while to cook the dishes so if you are planning to eat Kamayan style, I would suggest you order before you come in or plan to wait 20-25 minutes for your food to be ready. The location of the restaurant is in an odd place. It is in a shopping center surrounded by mostly Mexican businesses. It is the only Filipino business in the shopping center.

Too many people and buffet line too long. Food taste great though.

Was a little disappointed my pinakbet was supposed to be chicken slices but it was definitely pork slices, I couldn’t eat it, so went to waste. I ordered lumpia there was not a lot of fillings at all, the fried chicken was good though.
