scent of bamboo in Zürich

Classic Asian cuisine, service sometimes a bit slow as there are many guests

The food is very good...unfortunately the portions are getting smaller and smaller, especially when it comes to take away

Unfortunately, the quality of the food is not quite as good as that of the competition.

Very good Asian food, excellent value for money

The food didn't taste like anything. We had 2 different dishes and tasted the same.

I think the food is delicious but there are hardly any vegetarian options

Unfortunately it wasn't really a satay dish, there are a lot of onions used in the dishes instead of other vegetables. Service is nice. Ambience a bit sterile. Attention, reviews will be deleted here! I have already reviewed this restaurant...

Quality seems to have deteriorated over the last few months. There are better options.

Six of us were there spontaneously and were warmly welcomed. Drinks were brought quickly. Food was simply left out and the service didn't know what they had brought. The roasted duck with curry sauce was a curry with pieces of steamed duck rather than the vegetables that were on the menu. When I asked, the service staff said that it was the right food that they had brought and when they brought the wrong vegetables they just shrugged their shoulders: it's not a bad thing. The colleague's beef was strangely soft and spongy, inedible for me. When four of us had finished eating, only the last two plates of the main course were brought out. No restaurant for all six of us to go out to eat again.

Unfortunately, my visit to this Chinese restaurant was a disappointment. The beef I ordered was inedible. Instead of being tender and juicy, it had a rubbery consistency that was more reminiscent of squid. It was hard to chew and had an extremely unpleasant taste. The vegetables in my dish were also a disaster. The actually fresh flavors had been completely destroyed by the excessive heat. The service was also disappointing. The staff seemed stressed and not concerned with providing guests with a pleasant experience. Overall, my visit here was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had.

I wanted to have lunch here on Saturday. I was able to place the order quickly and then the waiting began. After 30 minutes the waitress came to the table and explained that it would take even longer as they had a lot of internet orders and takeaway. The food came when I was supposed to leave. I ate a little bit, but I wasn't sorry to have to leave the rest because the food wasn't really good. The waiter completely ignored my complaint.

The Nudel Bamboo, had no Taste sadly. Cost me 9.50 and the Plate wasnt even enough. the Cashier was Unmotivated, but the Service was Good.

visited again in the evening. friendly service, fine dishes, price/performance is right

Today we went to family dinner but never had such a bad food in my life. Wasted our 154 CHF and will never eat here. Waitresses neither understand Deutsch nor English.Couldn't eat any food and felt so bad throwing away so much food.

Rice and Szechuan with chicken was perfect. My wife had fried rice with beef. The beef was "rubbery". That's why we skipped dessert. We often eat at this restaurant. But my daughter never eats beef, neither do I and neither does my work colleague Pablo. It has been shown that even today beef is cooked “rubbery”. For chicken one way of cooking is right, but for beef you have to cook it differently. The welcome and service were nice and unobtrusive, served quickly and the toilet was very clean.

Veeery delicious food, fast and friendly service! Many menues to choose, guess each one is just really taste :-) And there is also a very good price for all of it, so thank you!

Very fine food, lots of choice & fast. Pleasant atmosphere. Would love to come back.

Asian cuisine. Good price-performance ratio.

The waitress was a love. I ordered chicken wings as a starter, they were good but very oily. Afterwards we had fried egg noodles with chicken, beef and shrimp. The beef tasted strange, there were only 3 pieces of shrimp and my plate was also full of oil. My colleague had spring rolls which were actually good, but she said they were very oily. We were afraid we would get diarrhea. I don't know why the boss used so much oil on everything. It's a shame because the decoration in the restaurant is very nice.

Inconsistent performance From very good to bad

Correct eating. Very unfriendly and snippy staff during my visit.

Unfortunately I can't rate the taste of the dishes because the vegetarian food (tofu curry) came with a very strong oyster sauce which I'm allergic to. There is absolutely no information about the allergens in the menu. The restaurant didn't offer any discount for the untouched food. Hope the menu will be updated before someone get some serious allergic reaction.

I'm only reviewing the take-away area, I wasn't in the restaurant itself. It's okay. For a comparatively small amount you can get a solid lunch. But it's not anything special either. The clientele is largely from the business community in the region and it is very good for a quick lunch.

Very good place for Asian food. Tasty food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Nice ambience, service is nice, they respond to requests (e.g. without MSG), the food tastes good, so far I've only had strange tasting food once. We take our "standard" fried noodles with vegetables. Large portions, normal prices for Switzerland.

I ordered through Smood. Rip-off, miserable, fraud. For 60.-- Fr. Water with hardly any content as soup Instead of summer rolls, fried mini spring rolls Salad was so small that you didn't eat anything... For me, this delivery is absolute fraud on the guest and should be reported to the authorities!

Good restaurant, fast service and tasty dishes!

Not even worth one star, I'd rather go to the Selekt machine at the train station. We got the wrong thing instead of tofu there was chicken, the other food wasn't good either. Very difficult to call the restaurant because they don't even speak German... never again...

I had the misfortune of ordering from this restaurant and it was a terrible experience. The food was absolutely inedible - the meat had an expired and slimy taste, and the sauce was far too runny and couldn't cover up the bad flavor of the meat. To make matters worse, we had ordered two portions of fried rice, but only one came. When we called the restaurant to report the problem, the response from the staff was woefully inadequate. They said there was nothing they could do to solve the problem. I ended up so disappointed with the experience that I'm even worried I'm going to throw up. Overall it was a terrible experience and I absolutely do not recommend this place. The quality of the food and customer service were both extremely poor and I was very unhappy with my visit.

Scent of bamboo is a top spot for my lunch break! - Enjoy your meal - Friendly service - Good price-performance ratio Always welcome to come back!

Order coconut soup with chicken, and fried rice. When ordering I asked to please not add coriander due to allergy. (See photos) The soup was a joke, tiny, unsightly, with coriander! Luckily I had someone who tasted...

Delicious red and yellow curry, very good chicken in five flavors. I recommend

I forgot my scarf there. Nobody wanted to deal with it on the phone. I came back from home specifically and found it straight away (we have other customers). A pity

There was a phase where the food wasn't good. Afterwards the food was very good several times. Today Tuesday April 11th but above ground. Fried rice contained nothing except onions. The beef kung pao was slimy and tasteless. I have never had such a consistency of sauce. Extremely funny.

Very good Asien food for decent prices. Fast Service. I recommend been Sichuan and Cambodian chiilli noodle (Nr 56)

Good place for a quick bite, lots of employees from companies around are eating here.

this does not even deserve 1 star rating . me and my friend just wanted some decent soup like i would imagine in an asian restaurant but i dont know why you had to put sooooo much SALT or Mononatriumglutamat in it? a recipe for disaster and it is not good for the kidneys and health specially for kids. ordered 2 soups and it almost tastes like water with just a handful amount of salt like reaaalllyyy saltyyy not worth even for its cheap price. i can say that the chef has no LOVE on his craft. and the dumplings were not what i expected it to be. it is nothing sort of special and it just seemed like a store-bought dumplings which is overcooked , dry and bland . you should at least put a little bit of an effort on foods you serving. i should have just gone to mcdonalds .at least i know what i will be getting. Never again

Were there today, the food no longer has anything to do with Asian. The service was very polite.

Unfortunately, the quality suffered quite a bit due to Covid.

Used to be my favorite restaurant, but the fried rice has been pretty bad for a while now. It just doesn't taste like anything.

Disgusting food, rude manager, I actually wouldn't give this restaurant a star rating.

Incompetent and very rude manager, chicken and beef both not fresh, not recommended.

I ordered beef with red curry, I couldn't eat the beef because it smelled so bad, it was horrible. Probably the meat wasn't fresh. This is the first time that this has happened to me in Switzerland, not being able to eat the meal. I will never go back there again. Very bad experience.

Friendly staff. Good selection, good food but no longer authentic

Friendly staff, good food and a relaxing atmosphere. We ve been there for lunch.

Very good food and very friendly service! I can highly recommend the Szechuan Chicken

Can get loud, food is too oily. Service is doing a good job.

Food: 2/5 Not authentic, overly sweet, portion ok. The curry is watery. Sweet-sour is too sweet. 黑辣牛肉 was the best of all the food I tried here and even that I would describe as 马马虎虎 ／ so-so. The presentation of the food on the served plates is 0 out of 5. But even considering the price and that this is a place where you get a quick lunch during your break, it is lacklustre. Service: 4/5 Ok, not much to say here. Atmosphere: 3/5 Not too loud, mostly clean and for the 5-10 minutes while you eat your ungodly sweet lunch, it is fine.

Take Away very fine and friendly service. Spring roll 4. - rather upper limit

The Gan Shao Crispy Beef and Black Bean Sauce were excellent!

A certain greasiness of the sauces cannot be denied, but the taste is still in the middle range. Nice atmosphere and, despite being busy, friendly and quick service - a solid choice for lunchtime.

Good and reasonably cheap restaurant. The food was tasty, not too much or too little. We also liked the quick delivery. Gladly again

The food is good, but it is definitely too adapted to European cuisine.

The food and service was good. However the Chef was constantly yelling in the kitchen to other cooks and waitstaff. It was quite disturbing to the dinners like us who couldn’t really enjoy our dinner.

I used #77 Five Spice Chicken. The menu was surprisingly good and surprisingly large for a take-away. The sauce could perhaps be improved a bit, I don't know if it was really the five spices. Cheap at CHF 16.50. The staff was sufficiently friendly and the toilets were sufficiently clean.

Not always perfect but I wouldn't want to miss out.

Child service! Enjoy your meal!! Very inexpensive!

Unfortunately the quality has decreased significantly. The sauces are stretched and are very watery.

Loved the authentic flavors of the place. The Schezwan soup is worth a try. Even the vegetable choupsey with fried rice tasted good.

The portion was enough but we didn't like the food, it was too sweet and too dry

The food and service were as expected. Price/performance good I didn't like the iced tea I like the location

I have to edit this review and give less stars for this restaurant. I used to be a regular guest untill today 23.06.2022. My minor doughter got inside to take 4 take away portions. Anyway they tried to give her much less change back and discussed it for 30 minutes. I was waiting in my car because I did not have a parking slot. I got also Inside and wanted to give them food back and take our money back. They then realised their own mistake, gave us right change but when I got home and unpacked I realised they gave us wrong food as well!! Certainly everybody can make a mistake, but if you call security camera in review and discuss for 30 long minutes because of 20-30 CHF?? My doughter used to make a school lunch break there and was a regular customer.. Sorry, but no families go around and try to scam somebody for 20-30 CHF. We will NEVER go to that place again!

I ordered fried rice with chicken and the dish tasted burnt (I often eat Chinese food). At the end I pointed this out to the waitress and she didn't even say sorry. Then had to eat at another restaurant. Double lunch costs unfortunately

The red Thai curry in the takeaway is getting worse and worse. This is no longer a Thai curry, but simply a bland warm meal. A pity

The take-away area is relatively cheap, but the food doesn't taste great either!

Tried take away again today. Incompetent and very slow employees, bland chicken satay with pineapple in a watery sauce. Not recommended

I like the facility. Staff friendly. Eating is a pleasure. Unfortunately there is not enough parking space available.

I had driving lessons and wanted to go to the toilet for a moment and he told me no?! Very unfriendly really sad!

I haven't had something so disgusting in a long time... watery, tasteless. Never again

Excellent food, great variety, everything was great 😁

Always super tasty & quick. Big portion. Pleasant atmosphere. Parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Directly in Altstetten train station.

Pleasant place, there is a lot of variety of choice on the menu. I have been several times and have always been satisfied with the service and food, I recommend

Half portions were delivered without cutlery. Also, when we called the lady said she couldn't do anything. We couldn't eat the food because of the lack of cutlery

Tasteless beef/rice and chicken spring rolls, wrapped in massive aluminium containers and foil. Not recommended

Top asian authentic food .Not too pricey in Alstetten Zurich

Fair prices, good food and served quickly

Fine food, would love to come back

The portion was quite large but we didn't like the food that much

Always good, inexpensive and tasty. It's difficult to get a parking space at midday, but it's not a problem with public transport.

Tasty, quick and good selection. Elegant and simple interior.

Tasty and worth the price. Duck good, all good.

Eat good. Coordination could be better, someone always has to wait a long time for food.

Delicious food and good for eating with colleagues :) Service is sometimes a little overwhelmed

Unfortunately no a la carte but good and quick

Very unfriendly and unsympathetic conditions.

Seam's to be a quiet ordinary Chinese food restaurant. What impressed me is the"ambients" as such. Sufficient space between the table and a well set separation wall between table's (corona confirm...) The time between order and serving was very short... No long waiting! Quantity and quality of food was acceptable.

It was a friendly welcome. The food, as always, was very good. The service good. But unfortunately few people.

Super tasty and friendly, great interior design

cozy atmosphere, very tasty Asian dishes and they are quick... although the staff has trouble with the German language, they are very nice...

Spontanen besuch in Altstetten, da die konkurrenz voll war! Gutes frisches essen, schön angerichtet und schmackhaft! Aufmerksames Service-Personal, Bravo wir kommen wieder

The BEST Asian restaurant far and wide and cannot be compared with the other Asian restaurant at Altstetten train station. ;) I've been eating at Scent of Bamboo regularly for several years and both the service and the dishes are just great!

I got food poisoning from the pasta salad with shrimp! Food is not good and not fresh. I'll never go there again.

After Don Leone this is the best place to eat in all of Zürich.

Everything would actually taste good if it was freshly prepared. Unfortunately, most of the menus have already dried up. With the sweet and sour chicken, the chicken was completely dry and so full of dough that you couldn't chew it.

Habe über Uber Eats für 83 Chf bestellt und fast nichts bekommen. Niemand ist satt geworden. Obwohl das Essen gut war, war die Menge so niedrig dass man locker 2 Portionen hätte essen können. Definitiv nicht weiterempfehlbar wenn man bestellt!

Super Esse zu richtig fairen Preise

Essen ist gut und es wird super schnell gekocht.

(Traducido por Google) El ambiente es encantador. ¡La comida es deliciosa y barata! Tuve una gran porción de arroz frito por CHF 10.50.- Lo hicieron a medida, porque no podía comer un ingrediente. El personal fue continuo, muy agradable y servicial. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita. :) (Original) The ambience is lovely. The food is delicious and inexpensive ! I had a huge portion fried rice for CHF 10.50.- They made it custom made, because I couldn't eat an ingredient. The staff was continuous very nice and accommodating. It is definitely worth a visit. :)
