Very bad first experience that will unfortunately be my last experience. Very long wait for food with no explanation . The “fried” rice that was order was very bland and did not include any vegetables.

The atmosphere alone is impeccable in this place, just stunning!I’m a biiiiig person on cleanliness, especially about where I eat. A huge indicator to me that a place probably isn’t cleanly is if their lobby is obviously dirty (ie.. multiple dirty tables, dead bugs on the windows seal, muddy floors, dirty condiment bottles, etc.) but Lucky Bamboo almost instantly put my mind at ease once I stepped foot into the business.Not only are they cleanly, but the food is delicious. I’ve lived in Iowa for going on 4 years now, and one of the biggest disadvantage I keep running into is poorly made, not appetizing oriental food. I truly only have a handful I would comfortably order takeout from and Lucky Bamboo is one of them!The service is quick too. I came in last time during a lunch rush hour at around 12:30-1 pm and all I had time to do was pick a seat, wash my hands, and then BOOM my plate of food was dropped in front of me. Hot and fresh, YUM!Overall, I’d say Lucky Bamboo is a GREAT place to eat.

Spent 96 in my to go order even though the online order thing said it would be 90, that part no a big deal, none of the rice we received was fried even though 6 out of 8 item had it, when I tried to bring it up at check out and her responce was " its already made" I repeated that one order was shrimp in lobster sauce but I received shrimp lo mein, all the food was plain and we all had to add sauces from home. And the mushrooms in my garlic shrimp were slimy. This was my second attempt to go here and i was disappointed again

The food was delicious, the crab rangoons were AMAZING! The cashier/waitress was very friendly and helpful even though they were close to closing. The food came quick and the atmosphere was relaxed.Vegetarian options: They had 5 all veggie options plus vegetable lo mein

Amazing flavor in both the crab rangoons and the cashew chicken! Th orange chicken was a bit more bland, but perhaps that's because I did spice level 1. (Which normally I'm a whimp with heat!) order to go, ready for pickup when I arrived, and still hot when we got home.

Hole in the wall in the best possible way! Tried this spot for dinner last week, I was impressed with the large portion of the special size. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Drinks are self serve as well. We ran into an issue where part of our food was delayed and they brought out the wrong entree at first. Would have been nice to have a both dishes brought out at the same time- mine was delayed another 15 min from when the other was brought out.
