We really enjoy finding hidden gems when traveling via reviews on Open Table, Google, and Yelp. Unfortunately, this was a big miss. The food and drinks were tokay but definitely not a 4 start review.

What a wonderful surprise the Bamboo Club is. Fun atmosphere! Food was generous super tasty, and great presentation! This is the largest selection of pretty tropical vacation like drinks I have seen in a very long time! I happen to notice they have Comedy/Magic type show 3rd Wednesdays per month for an extra fee outside in their ''tiki type patio" I loved it because super intimate.... Only a max of 60 people. When we got there, there was a line because reservations required for the show. I had a party of 5 but when purchasing ticket for show, we did separately so at first the hostess couldnt find our names on the list, and they didnt know if they could put us together since it was a sold out show. The owner saw that there was a line starting to form so he came out and HAPPILY assisted in seating people. Kudos to you sir - Great job!!! Then our waiter came out introduced himself and helped us choose our pretty drinks asking what we were in the mood for. Great JOB! The show was wonderful with the 6 comics and a wonderful clown magician and it was only $10 bucks! LOts of laughs.. comedy got a bit raunchy later in the eve - what a fun Thursday eve after a whole day of work! I would definitely come back and bring more friends. KUDOS Bamboo Club - with the added Tiki Ha Ha show! - Lina

Tiki Bingo was so much fun! Definitely a don't miss event.

This was my first time at the Bamboo Club but it will definitely not be my last. The food was what I would consider a fusion of Hawaiian, Portuguese, and Southeast Asian styles were and very tasty. The drinks were of similar origin. The only drawbacks that I can ascribe as downers were the noise level and ambiance. This establishment is definitely worth the trouble to visit especially if you are a fan of SPAM (Something Posing As Meat).

First time going. The drinks are nice and boozy and the service is unbeatable! Would definitely go again.

Mock-tails were fantastic and delicious. Fried spam musubi was a great twist to what we know. The pork belly was tasty but small in quantity. The vegan unagi burger was full of flavors. I didn’t like much the macaroni salad which was too greasy to eat and not much flavor. They do have other vegan options which are amazing. The Thai tea crème brûlée was a great way to end the meal. I highly suggest the drinks.

I'm very conflicted about the Bamboo Club there are things I really like and things I don't. I believe that the Bamboo Club has potential to be a great Tiki bar but has some things to work on.I'll start with the PROS: I love the look of the building from the outside it looks like it from the 1960's and that is a really good thing. The inside also has that same vibe with straw and lights adorning from the bar. Now let's get to the drinks! The drinks are really really good! We tried the U. S. O. Monroe, Slap and Tickle and the River Dragon all very distinct in flavor and delicious. I definitely want to try more they have many. The food is very unique and flavorful. Loco Moco was tasted how it should and the Scorpion Burger very was nice and spicy. Now to the CONS: I made reservations on a Sunday at 5pm and arrived on time but when I got there the host said everything was taken. So what is the point of making reservations? I believe it's mainly just to have a estimate of how many people might show up that day. I will say that the host / waitress did not have us wait long for a table. I might be getting old but the music was just to loud on bad sound system, very distorted and unpleasant. I'm not sure if the Bamboo Club is really embracing the Tiki Vibe and experience they have great Tiki cocktails but also serve Modelo. I think beer should be available but you can still find beer to fit the motif of Tiki. The Tiki experience really needs to be at the forefront of the location. There is this community of Tiki enthusiasts who are dying for more locations to visit and most of them are more than willing to spend cash to have that experience. When you have people in there who are going to be drinking Modelos getting dunk and start kicking stools you are not helping your cause. There is also this feeling of not really being welcome but it could have been that they were to busy to really to be more hospitable. I think The Bamboo Club has great potential to be a place Tikiheads will want to go. I understand that it is fairly young establishment and all that comes with time just like Golden Tiki in Las Vegas so I am very hopeful that it does in the future. All in all I do plan on going again just to see if maybe I just went on a bad day and maybe it will be different.

The music was mediocre there was no vocalist the floor was filthy we had to ask the waitress to wipe the table down twice still had a gross sticky film and then when she did she brought a wet rag it smelled like mildew the bathrooms were horrible no toilet tissue no soap the floor was wet with you then it was disgusting

Really great menu options (lots of vegetarian options also) but the food was REALLY good! Found us a gem!
