I absolutely love Bamboo Basket. It’s a very chilled, good authentic atmosphere. Staff are lovely and efficient. Most importantly the flavours of the dishes are divine, each tasting different to the next.
The sticky rice chicken dumplings were one of my favourites, also the BBQ pork pancake is also a winner. If you can’t finish your meal you can ask for the rest to be takeaway which is great.
I feel like they could have a bit more variety on their drinks menu by adding some cocktails etc. Other then that I would happily dine here anytime.

Nice restaurant at Portside. I had sweet and sour pork which was exceptional. My partner had the black bean beef which was not hot and a bit below standard, particularly with the rather high prices. We sat outside and the setting was nice. The service was excellent.

Attended a Road Show at Portside Hamilton and it was about 7:30pm when I stepped out. Felt very hungry and rushed to this Chinese restaurant opposite to the venue of Road Show. Honestly, it had been quite a while since I dined in her sibling at Southbank. Needless to say, there would be a big window to show off how the chef making the buns, dumplings and the noodles and the deco is set-up in contemporary Chinese style. Service is brilliant and the foods are consistently as good as her sibling. Hero of the day should be the Boiled Fish Fillet with Sichuan Pepper in Spice Broth. Although the fish was not freshly filleted from lived fish, those frozen fish fillet still deliver the original sweet taste. Beside of the fish, Prawn in Singapore Style with suggestion of steamed flour buns was a good job as well. Sauce of Singapore style is exactly the same when I had Crab in Singapore Style early this year in Singapore, particularly when you put the bun to soak with the sauce....... it makes me so satisfied! Highly recommended.

Not bad, not bad. We went to Bamboo basket at Portside this morning, the food was quite nice and very reasonable. We choose food from the dim sim menu, yum Cha style.
They don't do Yum Cha the traditional way with trolleys, instead you just pick things off the menu. They also don't do custard tarts, but other than that the food is pretty good.

Food is tasty and fresh and the servings are generous - I shared the seafood fried rice with a friend and we still couldn't finish. Dumplings and deep fried squid were also really good!

Excellent service, beautiful location and meals always come out quickly. Would definitely recommend the roast duck 10/10. Also, I was suprised to see the size of the meals considering the prive. Great value and great quality for your money :-)

Always love this place! Good service and great food! Awesome location too with plenty of other dining options and lots of parking. Fresh dumplings made to order! I've been to bamboo basket at portside and south bank and both are great! Would recommend.

Visited with about half an hour before a movie for a light dinner of dumplings. Dishes arrived with perfect timing, were delicious and we were done in time for the movie.

Good spot, average food. I like this place. For sure! It's at Portside where parking isn't cumbersome. It's nice to be able to stroll along the water after dinner. The food here, is average. Nothing really stands out. Their signature xiao long bao, isn't as good as some of the other places I have had them. The Shanghai stir fry noodle dish, is salty and quite oily to a point where, it glistens. The yum cha is rather limited. It's not a yum cha place definitely. The dim sums are more of a side dish to the other dishes they offer.
I have tried the other dishes, such as the ma Po tofu and the broiled fish with chilli with added pickled mustard. Both were palatable, but nothing outstanding.
The service, however was very good. I do not expect excellent service when I dine at a chinese restaurant. But here, there's sufficient friendliness and service.
Because of its location, it is definitely a nice place to dine. But don't expect excellent food.

Ate at the Bamboo Basket on Thursday night. Service was very friendly with a smile.
Dumpling menu is huge. I ordered to much:)
I also tried the lemon chicken, wow! Made with lovely chicken breast that is dipped in battered
And served with lemon sauce. Winner for me.
Use entertainment card upon payment and received $35 off. Total bill for two with wine was $87. Great value and nice place to eat.

Diana. We ended up at Bamboo Basket Hamilton because the City Cat did not stop at Bulimba to go to our booked restaurant there. The food was OK, but I was not keen on the seasonal vegetable choice which turned out to be bok choy only. They quickly & happily rectified that for me though & added some tinned baby corn & fresh carrot (not very inventive either) The dumplings we had were the highlight my vegetarian ones were crispy & delicious

Fantastic food. We all thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. My partner and I ordered a very authentic fish dish which was really quite spicy. The other couple don't like spice and were able to choose milder dishes. They were also quite happy to make a plain omelette for our child - maybe they should add this to the menu. My only complaint is that like many Asian restaurants they didn't understand the concept of entree and mains and the need to have a break in between. The mains came out while we were still eating our soups and crumbed calamari (also all delicious). It made the meal seem rushed. Apart from that everything was fantastic.

This is one if our favorite local restaurants. The service and the food are always excellent, as is the atmosphere. Expect to pay more than the average Chinese restaurant, but you get what you pay for - great food.

Close to work & varied menu. I recently started working at eagle farm and am slowly going through all the restaraunts at portside for lunch, so far I have been to bamboo basket twice, first time I got noodle stir fry it didnt unfortunately have a great saucey flavour but overall was nice, also got the steamed buns - omg could have eaten 8 of those! So good!

Went today for lunch and the staff where quite friendly, it wasn't busy so I just ordered take out got some xiao long bao, chicken & prawn dumplings & steamed buns. Steamed buns where awesome yet again however I unfortunately have a lap band and got stuck on these so put the rest in the fridge, had the rest a couple of hours later and although I couldnt obviously re-heat them back to the standard that I had got when I purchased them they where still quite yummy, the xiao long bao where great and will have to get some fresh another time. Big chunks of prawn in the dumplings which was great.

Overall nice atmosphere, a little over priced - quality of the food is great and also interesting to watch them make it while your waiting
