The
Restaurant
Blue
Bamboo is an expression of food and ambience that is
like transplanted bamboo, keeping the best of Asian
food roots, while adopting the level of service and
atmosphere that is uniquely American. Someone who is
born in America is called "transplanted bamboo"
by many people. Although these transplanted bamboos
become truly “blue” or American after growing
up here, they keep their deep Asian roots.
In
Asia, food vendors line the streets, each featuring a
specialty, showing off their cooking talent and creativity.
At Blue Bamboo, we’ve brought the best of those
specialties to you, utilizing the best ingredients, in
a fresh approach. Our Street eats are the best cure for
culinary boredom. They are offered such that when paired
with a glass of wine, you get the perfect light meal.
For those who are hungry for a multi-course meal, they
are great beginnings, and just right to share. Our award-winning
desserts have definitely earned the title Happy endings.
Such favorites as crème brulee and chocolate cake
speak dessert with a truly unique accent.
