CHINESE

Bamboo Inn
14010 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

Cost for 4 (before tip) $89.25 ... but we could have fed 7 with the amount of food we ordered.

Overall: It took us nearly two months to get to this restaurant, because Dr Drool kept putting it off. He is NOT keen on Chinese food. But as it turned out, he was more than pleasantly surprised.

We shared:
• Three-Flavoured Sizzling Rice Soup VERY NICE
• Fried Shrimp
• Shrimp Toast
• Egg Roll
• Crispy Wontons
• Noodles and Vegetables LAVA GIRL'S FAVE
• Fried Rice
• Sweet & Sour Chicken TO DROOL OVER!
• Mu Shu Pork VERY GOOD
• Fish & Black Bean Sauce DELICATE AND DELICIOUS
• Aloha Shrimp DR. DROOL: "THE BEST DISH I'VE EVER EATEN"
• Orange Beef EXCELLENT

Additional comments from ...

Lava Girl:
• Good stuff: Good smell, excellent food. I LOVED the noodles.
• Bad stuff: We were in a booth and kept dragging the tablecloth whenever we got in and out.

Peg Leg Scooty:
• I like the atmosphere (fish tanks, paintings, flowers, etc).
• A confusing selection, but the food was delicious.

Dr Drool:
• This place is way too busy. Waiters running everywhere ... it's frenetic! But the food sure is good.

BonzaMum:
• Not your usual chew-and-spew Chinese restaurant (ubiquitous in every Aussie town).
• We had menus with differing prices. The waiter blew it off with the explanation that the one with lower prices was old, but was unconcerned about the misrepresentation.
• I really liked the soup, the fish and the pork.
