My husband and I order Postmates from Red Bamboo all the time. Its one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always great and they have such a varied menu. Last night we ordered from Postmates and the restaurant called to let us know the delivery person forgot one of our bags. They felt terrible and the owner herself biked over with it. We are all the way over on the east side and the restaurant is on the west side. If we didn't order through Postmates, I highly doubt we would be within their delivery zone. The fact that the owner took the time to deliver our food really meant a lot. And as if biking the food over personally wasn't enough, she also threw in a free tiramisu as an apology. Five stars for the food, ten stars for the costumer service!

OK some of the people that live in Peekskill NY may not know this Restaurant, because this place is in NYC. This is a vegetarian restaurant for real vegan diet people. I came here years ago, but my wife and I met our grandson for basketball game in the village and we went here for dinner and hadn't loss a beat, it STILL HAS ALL THE SAME FOOD AND DRINKS THAT STILL THE BEST ON THIS PLANET. Yes I will be back again and you will get your money worth and not be disappointed. This pass Saturday. I f get a chance go and check it out.

Super friendly and quick service! They wasted no time getting the food out. We ordered the roti canai (very tasty, probably my favorite), the beef curry (yummy with a delicate broth, the texture of the vegan beef was incredible) and the Indian chicken curry (my least fave because I'm picky about Indian curries but it was a decent Americanized version, it didn't have the punchy flavors and spices I was hoping for but I did like the vegan chicken). We ordered a scoop of coffee and cookie dough ice cream for dessert. The coffee really didn't taste like coffee at all, it was odd. And the cookie dough tasted more minty? It was an odd ice cream experience, didn't love it. But would still come back here to try to soul food dishes!

I have been ordering a lot from Red Bamboo since I turned plant based either thru Uber Or Grub Hub, my favorite is the spicy chicken with brocolli. I have also tried the Thai beef curry, mango chicken,bbq buffalo wings and their desserts. The food is consistently made and consistently good. This month, we finally went to the restaurant to try. The people I brought were surprised they were eating plant ! The food was great and a lot more in the menu than online. Server was patient taking our orders and the dessert was lovely! The place was small and cozy. Must try !

An old school classic. I love coming here for lunch and getting the vegan cob salad with the grilled soy chicken. It's the best I've ever had. Their dressing combo with the blue cheese and vegan tempeh bacon is phenomenal. The menu is great because it's all very vegan protein focused, so you can get clean vegan protein options (like seitan, soy, etc.) with all of the dishes. They are also flexible and willing to customize the dishes to fit your dietary preferences. They also get their desserts from Vegan Treats (IYKYK) so all of the cakes are a 10/10. Make sure you get a slice (or 3) before they run out!

This is an all vegan restaurant with a huge menu. We came for lunch on a Sunday. Our waitress was quite cold and impersonal. The menu featured popular meat dishes recreated with soy meat. It's a noble cause, but I'd say it's more for folks who are trying to be plant-based, but miss the taste of meat. It was not particularly vegetable-forward or creative. To start, we had the buffalo chicken wings. They had a slight crispness on the outside which I appreciated, but the soy meat was very dense and hard to cut through. I wouldn't recommend this dish. We also got the crab ragoon which was tasty. The fried dough shells were nice and crispy and the cream cheese filling was flavorful. For my main, I got the sweet and sour chicken. Compared to the buffalo wings, this chicken was a lot more tender. The sauce was tasty and paired well with the veggies and rice. But still, it was a lot of blobs of soy, which overwhelmed the dish. My partner and his mom got the fried rice and southern fried chicken and the portion sizes were huge. To drink, I had the juice with apple, lemon, and ginger. It was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Overall, for those who like imitation meat, this is a good option, but personally it was not my favorite meal.
