I absolutely love golden bamboo! I've been coming here for years. This spot is a must try for any vegan/vegetarian and meat eaters as well! The food here is so flavorful and delicious with so many items to choose from. The inside is so tranquil and has many decorations throughout the entire restaurant. My favorite dish to order is the stir fry macaroni with vegan beef. Also, the passion fruit juice is so delicious. The service is usually pretty quick and there is usually no wait to be seated. Definitely a must try if you're ever in the area.

This is my second time visiting this vegetarian restaurant. The first time was years ago. Both visits left me very positive impressions in terms of food even though I don't remember what I ordered in my first visit. But for my 2nd time, I went with my friend around Chinese lunar new year and we ordered sour and sweet soup, braised bbq claypot and hot tea. They both looked and tasted great, even the tea. The ambience gave me good vibes. I wish it could be more spacious. They both offer indoor and outdoor seating. Since it is popular, the waiting time is pretty long. Once it is your turn to get served, the service is professional. But one thing I don't understand is when we put down our name on the waiting list, they asked for our phone number. However, they only called our name in person and never actually dialed phone number to contact us. We thought they would call so we went around the plaza, and when we were back to check, our name was crossed out. Good thing is they were still able to find a table for us right away, otherwise it would've been so frustrating.

Came here for a late lunch around 1:45 pm on a Wednesday and there was only a group of older women seated For a party of four, we ordered the spring rolls, the pad thai, and the hot pot, and there was enough to go around The service was a bit slow but it was worth the wait. would recommend this place

We stopped here to snag a quick dinner. We got fish, pork and beef. Everything tasted stellar and I mainly wish they gave more food for each dish. We also got yhe mango sticky rice and the mango was so ripe~

Service was great and we had a huge party. It was super cool to see the different vegetarian style dishes of popular meat dishes. Small space so call in advance if you have a large party.

My first time here because my aunt is vegan. Everything was amazing! Pretty pricey, but worth it. Ingredients mesh well together. I love the presentation. I would definitely come back to try more dishes. For 3, 3 dishes were more than enough. I love the ambience the moment you walk in. It feels so zen as im escaping reality. Service was on point and manager was helpful. There's lots of parking spaces, so it definitely feel less stress coming here.
