Very enjoyable evening. Banquet great but $10 corkage(“screwage “) a bit steep. One serving member not too familiar with the menu but, obligingly, sent someone to explain

Wanted to try his famous dumplings. They were amazing, but the helpfulness of the person serving us, and the willingness to adapt his menu a little to give us the best range of choices, was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, helpful, flexible AND great food.

We celebrated a family birthday at this restaurant, although I have also dined here about 6 other times with friends. Delicious, authentic food. We were full but couldn’t stop eating! Lovely front of house staff. Our food was ready very quickly and it was superb.

This would have to be one of the best Asian restaurants in Canberra. William and the team at Bambusa look after every need and the food is absolutely delicious. The Shantung Lamb is a must!!

Bambusa's menu has many dishes which are not offered at other Chinese/Malaysian restaurants which makes it a refreshing place to go. The atmosphere is casual but smart and there is good space between tables so that it is not noisy or crowded feeling. The service is excellent. And the food is fantastic.

Very tasty food that was different to the usual Chinese food on offer. The chilli chicken and spicy king prawns was delicious! Not too oily and just right. Highly recommend!

Brilliant. Sensational food, great service. Wine list could be expanded, but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend for a top feed with reasonable prices. I'll be back :)

Food was lovely and service was quick, some small glitches such as not offering knives and forks (not everyone is courageous enough to use chopsticks). Good venue.

As visitors to Canberra, we found Bambusa by chance and returned for the second visit that we booked. We arrived early and were impressed by the courteous and informed service. The food, which was innovative, was well cooked and very tasty. We particularly enjoyed the steamed fish hotpot and the mushroom dumplings, but the rest was very nice as well.

Food was very average. I will not be visiting again. Not pricey and service was OK but with so much choice in Manuka, food has to be top notch.

We went on a Monday night and the restaurant was quiet. The food was good and the service friendly. The wine we initially ordered wasn't ordered and our second choice took a little while to arrive.
