Bamboo Bistro

Urban Dealight had a deal for half off Bamboo Bistro so Miguel got 2 vouchers for his birthday.  We were a little skeptical at first because it looked like a really nice asian diner, which might hint at a chain.  It was not!  It is actually a 3 month old, family owned restaurant and it is amazing!  First off, they are very vegetarian and vegan friendly since they offer a bunch of noodle and entree dishes where you pick the "meat".  Even better, when we asked the server if any of their soup were vegan.. she knew the answer!  We realized how rare it is that people actually have a straight answer right away and this person knew the ingredients in each dish, further suggesting that everything is home made :)  Another postivie note is you could pick white, brown or fried rice with your meal at no extra charge.  We ordered the vegetarian egg roll (vegan) and the Thai soup, both were great.  The Thai soup had an interesting flavor because it was really spicy but had basil leaves and mushrooms to counteract the heat.  For our main courses, Shannon had the yellow curry tofu and Miguel had the szechuan tofu.  Both were amazing but the curry was over the top delicious.  Our favorite curry ever tastes just like this curry but has a more fluid consistency.  The szechuan tasted like a mild general tso's sauce and was a good balance for the curry since it can become to much at times.  None of the deserts were vegan and we had $3 left on our deal (cheap right?) so we ordered the general tso's tofu to take home.  We did try it in the car though and it was really good.  Not your typical general tso's sauce, it was soy sauce based.. but it will make a great breakfast.  Overall we would recommend this place to everyone!  Help a starting business out.
