My first review

Bambudda

Upon reading reviews and looking at pictures I decided to take the ol' lady here for her b'day. I've eaten chinese food my whole life and was never really interested in asian fusion, but I decided to give it ago. Made reservations a week prior online and received a reminder email 2 days before dinner. Well that was easy. Showed up to an empty restaurant @630 and was seated way in the back by the pick up window. HRMMM...

The waitress went over the menu with us and notified us that a quarter of the menu was unavailable. Unfortunately the items that weren't available were of course the ones I wanted.
Thursday evening, an hour after opening, empty restaurant and a quarter of the menu unavailable??!! Not impressed.
Ordered 2 cocktails, tasted great, nice presentation, but way overpriced. Ordered Pork and Foie Gras Dumplings, Beef Heart Tartare, Pork cheeks on rice, Beer Braised short rib side of ramen.
The food was great tasting however small portioned and way over priced. Was still hungry so was looking forward to desert!

Waitress brought out a desert menu. Desert consisted of 3 items. She then informed us that another item was unavailable. Not impressed at all. Wasn't in the mood so skip desert. Bill total 102$.

Walked over to L'Abattoir for some appetizers and dessert. Now im full.

Bottom line, main points are.
Everything I ordered was by default.
Everything taste wise was good.
Drinks were entertaining.
Nothing against the waitress, she was great. Except for when I asked her what those crunchy bits in the rice were (water chestnut?) she didn't know.
Way over priced.
Menu online is completely different than in house.
I like to support local chef's and small businesses, but such a big price for such small food.

Glad I tried it but will not return.
