Bamboo Wok (Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Boynton Beach)
***** Bamboo Wok *****
If you do some homework, you will find that back on July 6, 2008 I did a writeup on a Chinese “take-out only” joint named Bamboo Wok…there are currently 3 locations, Boca Raton, Coconut Creek and Boynton Beach.
Since that July 6th “story”…I must have picked up food from the Boca location something like 35 times–5 times from the Boynton Beach joint and 1 time from the Coconut Creek store. The store designs are all the same…order at counter—you can see the food being prepared—in an assembly line setup. Not 100% sure on this, but there are 2 brothers and a sister—she owns the Boynton Beach spot and the other two stores are owned by one of the brothers. The food- menu-prices-portion size—are the same at all locations.
If you live or work near one of these stores, you gotta try the food. I’m gonna go out on a limb here, but the food is OUTSTANDING…this is as close to NYC Chinatown joint food as you will come down here in Florida. I am telling you—off the top of my head—the wonton soup, boneless bbq spare ribs, egg rolls, fried rice, fried pork dumplings, moo shu pork, sweet & sour chicken, general tso’s chicken, shrimp with black bean sauce…are delicious. The portions are “huge” and the prices are neighborhood takeout prices.
These 3 joints are winners.
excellent takeout.
Definitely one of the better South Florida takeouts.
Hey Jeff,
Great find here.
We started to get food from there about 6 months ago and the food has never disappointed.
The pan fried dumplings are sensational.
I still go to Bamboo Wok frequently. Fast service and pretty good. China sea is also pretty good. BTW I do not like the dumplings at these chinese takeout places. The skins are super thick and some may use frozen dumplings. Japanese dumplings/potstickers are so much better with a thin skin. Thta being said the best place I had those was in Kyoto Japan last December.
Definetly the place to get takeout from in Boca.
The best around.
jeff’s best pick.
try this one…
excellent takeout.
jeff got a good one here.
Jeff,
Just picked up food at Boca location.
First time at Bamboo Wok.
Was raised in Brooklyn and kind of think I know what NY Chinese food is all about.
Growing up, was a frequent customer at Wong Kee and Happy Garden both in Chinatown.
Bamboo Wok’s food is as close to NYC Chinatown quality as I have found living here in Boca for the past 22 years.
The food is delicious. The portions enormous. The prices are typical takeout prices.
This is my new favorite.
My husband and I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in Florida for almost 10 years. That’s right 10 years. We are former Brooklynites who were raised on NYC Chinese food. We know what we like and until we discovered Bamboo Wok no restaurant came even close to the NYC style food we have been craving.
Bamboo Wok could suceesfully go head to head with any Chinese restaurant in China Town and the 5 boros. The food is delicious.
The only problem is that it is only takeout so you can’t dine in.
as close to nyc chinese as can be.
jeff, since you mentioned bamboo wok it has been my favorite chinese take out. the food is terrific, the portions huge and the prices are neighborhood take out prices.
my favorite dish is their boneless spare ribs. haven’t seen this dish prepared like this in any other takeout in all of florida.
i highly recommend this restaurant.
