For a busy restaurant it didn’t seem that noisy. The staff were extremely friendly and the food arrived promptly and was delicious. Great variety of Asian foods on offer - sure to please any palate.

Great experience! Sizzling dish was amazing! Staff were helpful but could have come a bit earlier to take the order but it was a bit busy so no complaints.

Service was a little lacking - no refill of water, had to ask a few times for the same things before we actually got them etc. Food and atmosphere were great.

New paint job and overhaul of the interior decor, lighting etc, makes the restaurant more intimate, and less cavernous. The food is always delicious, reliable and friendly service.

I can see why Bambusa is so popular. I have dined here many times and most often it is nearly full, especially on a Saturday night. Bambusa is in the living heart of cosmopolitan Manuka. The prices are affordable when compared with other similar restaurants. My curry puffs were very tasty. The steamed duck with mushrooms was delicious and not too spicy. When I asked the waitress for extra vegetables she happily obliged. My tip is to ask for cutlery if you are not good at using chopsticks. My second tip is to book online early beforehand. I am sure that I will dine here again. I can recommend dining at Bambusa.

A busy restaurant on a cold Tuesday night is a good sign! The deep fried duck and the slow cooked beef ribs are delicious!
