Bamboo Palace Restaurant

Beautiful inside. There buffet a lil small for $10 tag n white rice was dry n hard but other then that was good. Amazing home made peanut sauce!!!.

Restaurant was extremely clean. Took a little while for us to get it menu and the menu was not as clear as one is used to what was easy to understand eventually. Music was erratic on and off and volume levels we're not consistent felt like they were using a CD player or MP3 device that had some issues maybe? I'm not a expert on Thai cuisine so I was okay with what I ordered. Sign on the door was very confusing no public bathrooms but what that really meant was bathrooms are for paying customers only. I ended up getting there in between a waitress shift change and I don't want to hold that against them. She made sure I was all set before she left and gave me the bill and takeout containers. I was in the process of leaving as the next waitress took over. Overall experience was decent. Some notes to take over there is a buffet station in the corner of the restaurant that does not appear to be in use I could not tell if there was some special occasion they used it for or day of the week. when I first walked into the restaurant although I was greeted I stood there for a moment not sure if I'm supposed to seat myself or be seated. Turns out you're to seat yourself. I don't mind that especially in a small restaurant but maybe you take the plan that had Thursday written on it and chalk and right see yourself by the way it was not Thursday. Overall good experience food was good, will come back again since my wife enjoyed it so much.

I am a big fan of Asian cuisine. That being said, locally, the usual buffets are a dime a dozen. We happened to be in Gaylord and wanted Chinese, but as we are not too familiar with what the town had to offer, we checked Yelp! Bamboo Palace had excellent ratings and I heard good things through the grapevine. It was not a disappointment!!! This place is the hidden gem of Asian Cuisine in Northern Michigan. Beautiful, simple and elegant atmosphere, fantastic staff, and phenomenal food. We had the Drunken Noodle, Phoenix Chicken and Shrimp & Chicken stir fry. Each dish was lovingly prepared and plated, and the portions are huge. The Phoenix was the winner of the night, but each dish was unique, delicious and made with very fresh ingredients. Funny how we had to go to the one place ran by Americans to get authentic Asian! We will be back...and oh, btw, they make the very best, and from scratch, Egg Drop Soup I have ever had!!

Delicious selection of Thai or traditional Chinese food. Daily lunch buffet. Extremely generous portions, take home leftovers for next day lunch. Sharing of entrees with no extra charge, and each person still gets soup! Definitely will return

The food here is FANTASTIC! Best Asian food in the area. Love the dumplings! My favorite dish is the Phoenix chicken. Giving four stars because service varies, but if you're prepared to wait, the food is outstanding!

Five star food!
Three star service (kind waiters, but slow and sometimes not very observant to new tables)

Love eating here, and takeout is great, too!
