About Bamboo
Bamboo is a Chinese takeaway at 257 Harehills Ln in Leeds, and every order comes with free spring rolls and crackers. The kitchen cooks special curry, special satay and special Szechuan dishes, so the menu goes beyond the usual set of takeaway standards. Salt and pepper chicken is one of the dishes on offer, and chips are also available for anyone who wants them with their meal. Rice and prawn crackers are served with orders as well. Customers place their orders by phone.

“HORRIBLE DELIVERY DRIVER NEARLY RAN OVER SOMEBODY OUTSIDE THE SHOP. WHITE CAR OE64 PUF”

“We love the food from here! Started ordering recently and now been around 3 times - the salt & pepper chicken is fab and the value for money is great. The best Chinese in our local area!”
- David Mc
“The free spring rolls and crackers are a nice touch and the special curry I’ve had previously was nice enough. Ordered a special satay this evening and there was a ridiculous amount of fresh chopped cucumber in it so imagine how watery and tasteless the special satay was. Just gave them another chance with a special Szechuan and salt and pepper chicken wings - avoid avoid avoid”
- Mark Foster
“would be better if they fried or roast the chicken instead of boiling it as it's bland and would be more tender as it's sometimes a bit rubbery (no pun intended I wouldn't recommend it the food is dry and undercooked sometimes,nice chips though but think I'll go to chippy next time”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, and the salt and pepper chicken is the one dish praised by its fans, who also call the value for money great and the best Chinese in the area. The free spring rolls and crackers get a mention as a nice touch. Most reviews are negative, though, and the food is the main complaint. Diners describe tasteless, greasy dishes, burnt black rice, dry or rubbery boiled chicken, wet chips, stale prawn crackers, and a special satay drowned in chopped cucumber until it turned watery. Delivery draws repeated complaints too, with one order arriving after a wait well beyond the quoted time and another cold on arrival, and callers say staff could not say where the driver was. One customer who asked about onions for an allergy said the dish still arrived with spring onion in it, and the owners refused to swap it. Another had to request a refund through JustEat after a delivery that never matched the promised time.
