El Bamboo Restaurant — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

Edit: reading some other reviws I have to add that we entered at the opning time (18:30) and most of the food was probably as fresh as it gets. As I am not a big sushi specialist I would rate it 4/5. I was quite pleased with the selection and quality. Tom yum goong is edible with cilantro overpowering the taste, maybe 2/5 to a Thai cuisine fan such as myself. Peking duck was dry. Couple of sauce dishes were rather bland. Spring rolls not too crispy but I honestly enjoyed them with cherry sauce. Tuna in sesame seeds was overcooked (if you like medium/raw) but still juicy. The chicken drumstick was dry and rather tasteless. Overall I would recommend to go with the sushi and springrolls. From desserts the coconut balls were quite good (juicy and sweet), donut like ball was dry, dumpling looking rum ball was good, cup cake thing was juicy but rather tasteless and the last one i would call...

Wait staff, excellent as ever but the food...

The food is alright, I wouldn't say it's authentic.

I tried abit of everything and yeah it was OK. I love Asian food and this didn't really live up to my standards but again, it was fine... better than...

Not great at all. Sushi was dry and no idea what was in each piece.

The rest of the food was cooked and left on a hot plate. Nothing freshly prepared and all buffet style.

I did not enjoy this meal at all.

Dim sum on menu but not...
