Bamboo Bistro - Lady Lake

Definitely.Would eat at this place again?Absolutely exquisite food. Great selection it's a pretty big menu. And the atmosphere was nice.

If you ask about this restaurant I'll probably just recommend the sushi, but for the rest of the menu I'll think twice. The spring rolls and the fried dumplings weren't that good it's like that the person didn't want to work. The soups were bland (we ordered miso soup and coconut and chicken soup, I have been eating miso soup since I was 12 years old and I'm in my 30's (is the easiest soup to make, even at home). My mother-in-law ordered the wok lunch special with beef and she also said her meat was bland. My husband and I ordered some sushi that was good I can give you 5 stars for that. The bento box (tempura shrimps, dumplings shrimp)I can say wasn't great either, when I read you can choose the protein and the dumplings I was excited about it. But when it arrived it didn't look that great; the shrimp dumplings (I was expecting a different dough) was a Ha kao (is usually for dim sum). If you are asking me if I recommend this restaurant I'll just recommend the sushi the rest of the food is like they don't want to make it you can notice in the way the presentation. I can't complain about our server Tyler he was the best and the atmosphere is ok, but usually I don't go to a restaurant for how it looks like I just go for the food and if the service is good it is a plus. I don't think we'll go back

The menu was a bit confusing as I was looking for non-cooked sushi, but the we had Maya as our server and she was super helpful! I told her I was looking to try one of their speciality rolls. She suggested either the American Dream Roll or the Naruto Roll. She explained that the Naruto Roll used cucumber instead of rice and seaweed. I ordered both. I also tried the Smoked Salmon. I don’t think I would have ever tried the Naruto Roll, but I’m glad I did. The cucumber flavor complimented the fish well and allowed the flavor of the salmon, tuna, and white fish to fully come out. It was really good. I then put some wasabi on it, that wasn’t as good (probably what it doesn’t come with any). I would order that again!! The American Dream Roll was a nice sized roll and was very good (above average for sure) but after the Naruto Roll, it was hard to get impressed like that twice. The smoked salmon roll had cream cheese and avocado. The cream cheese overpowered the dish. I think asparagus or cucumber would have been a lot better. Overall, I think this became my favorite sushi place in Lady Lake.

They have the best sweet sour sauce I have ever tried.

UPDATE: Ate here again today. The broccoli pictures show the poor quality. The General Tso batter was soggy and the sauce was watery. It seems as if they cook a bunch of chicken and then toss sauce on top like an afterthought depending on what was ordered. We won’t be returning. The General Tso Chicken, broccoli, steamed rice and hot and sour soup were delicious. I gave 4 stars because the egg roll tasted and smelled like it was fried in oil that needs to be replaced.
