Lucky Bamboo Cafe

The service is friendly and the past few times that we were there it has been slow times. So, our food came out very quickly.
Their fried wontons are crispy and the sweet dipping sauce is a nice touch. The food is OK and about what you’d expect from a small mom and pops Asian restaurant. Main reason for my three star rating was that portion sizes are a little small and they are also a little heavy handed on the salt and sauces. Some folks like their food extra flavorful, but I prefer tasting my meat and vegetables over tasting just sauce.
With that said, we don’t mind this place. Overall, it’s a decent little restaurant. Next time we go in, I’ll probably ask for them to go a little easy on the sauces.

Everytime we are in town we get take out here and head to a Lookout Brewery or back to our house. Fast and friendly service and the order has always been filled perfectly. Tasty and generous portions and conveniently located in town. We love the green curry chicken and green beans. Tonight I tried the ginger chicken and substituted the green peppers for green beans. It was delicious. My husband had the jalapeño chicken and really liked his entrée. The food was pipping hot upon pickup and did not need to be reheated after driving the 8 minutes to our house. One of our favorite Thai restaurants ever.

Truly a «Don’t judge a book by its cover» type restaurant. Outside definitely does not reflect how good the food is! Hibachi chicken was very good and the cashew chicken had a wonderful sauce. Will def come back on a return visit!

We hesitated at coming in since the parking lot was empty! The reviews were great however. PF Chang it’s not! Orchid Thai it’s not! But if you’re looking for authentic Asian that is fresh, well seasoned, and reasonably cheap, this is good food! I’d do it again!

I just ate here with a couple of friends. The food was very good. I had the basil noodle and it was exactly what I expected it to be. My friends enjoyed their meals too. The service was friendly and excellent. I’ll surely go back.

Where can you go for good traditional Chinese for two and walk out for only $ 20? Everything on the menu tastes like it should no surprises. Take out is hot and ready. Service friendly and English is native language. Ambiance is open and airy. One issue is the two TVs and bar that seem out of place

Hated it. General chow chicken had absolutely no flavor. I went for lunch and prices were kinda high which would have been okay if the food was good but it was awful.

This is my go to place … when I need the soup to warm me from the inside out! My favorite soup Phnom Penh Soup; Beef rice noodle soup with shrimp, bean sprouts, onions, garlic, herbs and spices, served with sweet and spicy sauce. Once you have had this, you will be back for more! The other soup I set an alarm for is their Angkor Spicy Beef Stew (seasonal) Spicy beef stew made with onions, carrots, basil, herbs and spices served with rice noodles. (Available on Friday and Saturday only) if you have not had this. If it’s available order it! It’s so filling and will warm you to your toes. The hubs also lives this place and will always order the curry and any dish comes out superb! Love this place glad you are in Black Mounatin and not going anywhere!

For what it is, it’s really good. If you’re looking for cheap, decent Chinese food in the Black Mountain area, this is the place. Their dinner specials are filling, cheap, and scrumptious.

The place is very clean. The people who work there are very nice. The cream cheese wantons were delicious. Sadly, that is where the compliments must end. I had the sesame chicken lunch plate. The sesame chicken was swimming in a runny, reddish sauce that was so overloaded with soy sauce that it was not edible after just a few bites. I was hoping I could use the fried rice to soak up some of the sauce to at least disperse the saltiness. Even the fried rice had far too much soy sauce, too! Maybe they were training a new cook? Maybe the cook added soy, forgot he added it, and used even more? Either way, I had hoped this would be a great food experience and that maybe I had found some decent Chinese food near Asheville. I guess I will have to keep on looking.

We are very picky eaters… we won’t eat vegetable oils (only olive and cocunut oils) so it can be hard to find Chinese food that works for us. So I wanted to recommend their «hibachi» option where the chicken (or other protein selected) and veggies are cooked with a light amount of butter instead of vegetable oil. We also have them leave out the soy sauce for as clean eating as possible in a restaurant setting. It was perfectly cooked, not greasy in the least, and delicious. No canned veggies here, just fresh. Staff is very helpful… and said they would bring in olive oil for request cooking in future! Where do you find that??? Highly recommend.

Ditto on the Phnom Pen soup! Great stuff. On weekends they have a stew… I think it’s called Angkor Watt soup. Very hearty and delicious. Excellent spring rolls. It’s a wonderful family business and I love giving them my business. It’s worth the drive from Asheville!
