The first thing I noticed when I entered the Bamboo Bison was the aroma of a beauty salon. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive mauve and turquoise decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bedpan Room, a wonderful room decorated with numerous artificial flowers and polished comic books. Our waiter, whose name was Vilmer, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pie a la mode, roast beef, fried eggs, and oatmeal. I decided to order Moo goo gai pan Alla Maria Pia and my companion, Boots, ordered Egg drop soup Ala romana. Vilmer seemed zany as he brought in our orders about thirty-eight minutes later. I had a brownie on the side, and Boots had a plate of spaghetti. A cappuccino was a perfect complement for my moo goo gai pan.
The Moo goo gai pan was authentic but a bit fluffy. The common way to cook with sweet pickle relish is to spread into container first, but our chef chooses to heat in microwave, then blend it into the moo goo gai pan. Boots thought the egg drop soup seemed a bit abnormal, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about twenty-seven dollars, which I think is peachy. Overall, the food was great, the atmosphere was ducky, and the service was ghastly. If you are a fascinating person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
