Bamboo, Bexley — Restaurant in London

Expensive & ANPR parking extortion. Used to be really good/worth the cost for the food, but the food has slipped into mediocre with the same expensive prices. You never know when they are open/closed and they still have no online ordering so you have to ring up, and at busy times the phone is engaged for like half an hour sometimes. Also the parking racket down the side of the building to cream £60 from unsuspecting residents, customers and families is abominable (they just recently put up an ANPR camera). When challenged over the parking charges (run by London Parking Solutions) the manager denies any involvement, however their delivery vans and cars are parked down the same road all the time and they own the land (checked with land registry). Family was stung for £60 on Christmas Eve when SANTA (uncle) delivered presents and parked there for 10 minutes - sickening. And the food is overpriced too. Will use Beijing Spring...

Eaten here twice and had a lovely experience both times. The service was really good tonight. We ordered the king prawn Thai curry, and we both loved it!

The broccoli side dish was crisp and fresh and green and lovely! So lovely to have a healthy, flavoursome, non fried meal out. That said, most of the menu was fried, but that's what most people want I guess.

A little note regarding what I feel a 5-star review means. I went for five stars because this a great local Chinese restaurant serving it's community well in terms of price and menu. If it's clientele were drawn from a wider area such as a famous Knightsbridge restaurant, I may judge it on a...

Then gave the wrong order to the other table and took the noodles and gave the wrong order to the guy behind aswell, it wasnt even busy a shambles, watch out there sneaky on the bill it says service charge is not essential, or something to that effect they cross out (not) thats actually illegal you dont by law need to pay service charge i certainly wouldn't for that lousy service, was way...
