Bamboo Palace - Bellingen

Very friendly and accommodating staff. A great sized menu with many variations is why you could eat here often and have something different each time. Large portions of great tasting food. Takeaway is also available.

When the new management took over we bought takeaway regularly. Found it really nice. Unfortunately the food now has become bland. The produce is fresh and good servings but the sauces are tasteless. The staff are absolutely wonderful and it is a shame about the food. Please if you eat here tell them if you are not happy. It is the only Chinese restaurant in town and I miss my fortnightly take-aways. Please guys work on the sauces!

Was a pretty nasty experience, the service was ok.. but more importantly the food was really bad. It was overpriced with below average serving sizes, the food it self was sort of sloppy.. could easily say it's the worst honey chicken I have ever eaten from a Chinese restaurant. The fried rice was good but that's hard to get wrong.Should have read more of the reviews, but most of them seem to be 5 star review created by one off reviewers..

This restaurant truly is a hidden gem. My partner and I are not big eater's but we ordered 4 dishes and gladly so as we got to take more home for lunch the next day!The Roast Duck with plumb sauce was our favorite and cooked to perfection. The skin was crisp and the meat was heavenly tender. The Freshness is what stood out most for us but even more than that was the amazing customer service.The lovely lady serving made us feel so welcome and warm and the chef also came out and had a nice chat too. It's becoming rare to get great customer service like this, but I'm glad to find a place where it still exists. We've been to many Chinese restaurants and they can be a hit or miss, this place was an absolute hit! Can't wait to go again.

Checking out TripAdvisor and seeking this local Chinese restaurant with rave reviews, I thought I would give it ago myself.I ordered Honey Chicken, Mongolian Lamb, Garlic Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork & Special Fried Rice as takeaway. It definitely wasn't fresh.. The Honey Chicken must have been microwaved, it was soggy and sitting in a slop of Cornsyrup, water, MSG and cornflour with no trace of honey at all absolutely bland..Mongolian Lamb & Garlic was average, I wont blow everything apart but it wasn't fresh and the taste of uncooked cornflour was through all the bland sauces.Sweet & Sour Pork Shared the same fate as the Honey chicken unfortunately, very soggy with watered down bland cornflour sauce.Special fried rice was ok, but it all went in the bin.. When picking it up, I already had doubts after seeing an Australian cook...
