Black Bamboo Chinese Restaurant

It's so nice to finally be able to have some Chinese food. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They do their best to accommodate allergies.

Note: this is a small takeout place. Some tables, but not a fine dining experience.

After reading the reviews on here I tried this place and found myself throwing up for three hours after eating their gluten free marked food on their menu. I have celiac disease and will not be eating here again. I ordered the boneless spare ribs and the veggie fried rice.

Staff and owner are knowledgeable about food allergies. It’s the first Chinese food I’ve eaten in 20 years…and it is so good! Lots of choice. Check the menu for Gf options.

Our favorite spot for Chinese food. Their fried rice is always gluten free! Lots of options. We always order their dry saute items! Great garlic flavor

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was thrilled to find here delicious mei fun!

I have celiacs and am very sensitive to cross contamination, I got very ill after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

The owner is very friendly and the cashier made sure to tell me they clean the pans between every dish and there is no cross contamination. I love eating here and never have gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Haven’t had Chinese food in about 6 years and this place is the best!! I’m very sensitive to gluten and ate here about 3 times in the past week and had no reactions. Gluten free boneless spare ribs and spring rolls are delicious as well as their rice and noodle dishes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered several items for delivery for a large group. ALL the items were supposed to be GF. Explained that I was Celiac and they assured me all the dishes I choose could be made GF. When I tested the dishes at home with my NIMA four dishes came back positive for gluten. Either they have NO clue or a serious cross contamination issue.

Celiac friendly?

No

Awesome food. I haven't had Chinese food in the 6 years of being gluten free. So happy to eat Chinese without a reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place. Will go here again

My favorite spot for Chinese. Well trained staff, very attentive to GF requests and modifications... now I just need a second location close to my home!

Very good food, with high consciousness regarding GF!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Allergy sensitive and delicious healthy tasting food. Get the ginger chicken.

They use gluten free soy sauce in most dishes. I love this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When was the last time you had gf mu shu pork? It's not listed on the menu as gf but they can make it that way if you ask. And the pancakes that come with it are thin and fantastic -- you can't tell they are gf. Other foods are very fresh tasting and I've loved everything I've tried. My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. Oh, and gf spring rolls too (fried). Heaven. Wish I lived closer.

Fantastic Chinese food. Less greasy than other places. Lots of gluten free options (custom made, not listed as GF on the menu): ask for recommendations of GF items.

FYI, it's a take out place with a few tables in front of the counter where you order. Okay for a couple people, not a group.

The staff was super nice.

Wow. Game - changing Chinese and Chinese fusion food. GF spring rolls, soy sauce, complex noodle dishes, and it's not greasy, no questionable cuts of meat, genuinely friendly Westcoast feel, and generous. A+++ I hope this kind of food catches on everywhere. If you like spicy, be sure to try the Curry Singapore Mei fung. Rated best in Hartford annually since it opened for a reason. Go here.

Not living in west Hartford it was a treat to get Chinese I could eat! Staff was extremely nice and food was extra tasty. Even though chicken and broccoli wasn't on the gluten free list they just made it without the sauce and then just put gf soy packets on the dish.

omg, best Chinese ever! so fresh and good and almost anything in the menu can be done GF if you ask. .. Try the moo shu pork, pancakes are GF too! I had to ask 3 times to make sure because they taste just like a thin flour tortilla. ...

Good Chinese takeout, the fact that they can make your order gluten free just makes it that much better

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu says they will prepare gf. They had gf soy sauce packets!!! Yay!
