Bamboo Bamboo is good fast Chinese food. The idea behind their food is similar to Pick Up Stix. In fact, someone told me that this company was owned by the founder of Pick Up Stix (let me know if you can verify that).
Anyway, we go there for lunch often. I really llke the house beef lunch special. You can get it with or without vegetables. It is a little on the sweet side though, so be warned. Like an earlier reviewer said, the lunch special includes salad, rice (steamed or fried) and a deep fried cream cheese won ton. It is a good amount of food and I am always happy with it.
The restaurant itself is a bit small and can be difficult to get in around lunch time. Take out however is very quick and efficient.
My co-workers have eaten here a few times now and recommed it over Pick Up Sticks(about 2 miles away), so I decided to give it a try for todays lunch; I had the Chef's Special Chicken which came with rice, a small salad and a cream cheese wonton. The chicken was very tasty; according to the menu it is cooked in wine sauce. I definitely needed more rice and discovered later that I could have subsituted my salad for more rice (I'll do this next time).
I will definitely eat here again and try more of the menu; it's not the best chinese food but it was decent and very affordable; the lunch special was $5.45
FYI: Yelp marks this place on the wrong side of La Pata; it's in the plaza that has the Starbucks on the corner of Pico and La Pata right next to the Charro Chicken.
