Love the iPad ordering concept! Food came out all at once, fresh, hot! Love that you can just grab your own condiments and refill your pot of tea. Will definitely be back!
Had early lunch on Tuesday before lunch time rush. As per usual the food was delicious. Had various dishes and shared with my partner. It was his first experience at Bambamboo and he can't wait to come again. Highly recommend for a mouthwatering experienceđ
I donât know how they do it - lots of customers and our food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. The wait staff were rushed off their feet but obviously love their job because they were really polite and extremely helpful - not to mention cheerful with it.
The jasmine tea was a thing of beauty, and the hot water station meant that we could top it up to our heartsâ content.
Itâs been a long time since we ate there, but it wonât be long before we go back.
Well done!
Very well organised. Place was quite busy but still easy to order. Food prepared fresh but was delivered in a timely manner. From ordering to finishing meal was just over 1/2hr. Even when busy. Food is still amazeballs. 11/10 will go again.
I love the roasted Duck,cooked perfectly...though it takes a while to have it ready but its worth the wait.Would love to visit there again.
Great staff, great food, fast service
Rate it !
Amazing food friendly staff canât wait to go back well done guys
Friendly staff, love the BBQ fried rice, steamed pork buns and noodles. Excellent quality and quick service.
Prawn wontons are the best here best vale for money
Very impressed have never known a place to have your order served as quickly as here. Food tasted great, definitely will be back
Yummy food and exceptional customer service by the young Asian guy who was working on 21/11. Will be back again.
Beautiful lunch on Saturday- we selected a number of dishes to share, they were all mouth-wateringly good!! It was busy but we loved the fast and professional friendly service!! Thank you for making our hard day out shopping in the city end in such a tasty and wonderful way!!
Great food fast efficient service but i didnt like the ipad ordering system was hard to find everything we were looking for
I would live off this if I could, I've never been disappointed here, favourite food in Perth!!
The food at Bam Bam boo is phenomenal and thereâs a great deal of variety. Within having ordered our meal off the tablet, the meal was ready within 8 minutes. Props to very efficient service, however the service was a tad cold, very little interaction from the gentleman who served at the counter. Nothing to write home about but nothing to break the experience either. Would definitely recommend Bam Bam Boo just based on food quality and fast service
This place has been consistently awesome over the years and no doubt it remains hugely popular. The pricing is good and the portions reasonable. I have been her 10+ times and have always returned more than satisfied with their range of offering (dumplings, noodles etc.).
Highly recommend to anyone who's after value for their money for some very very tasty food! Pretty sure you'll fall in love with their dumplings and go back again. The ordering system on the ipad can take a while to browse through for first time visitors (especially when this place gets crowded during lunch hours) but repeat visitor find it a breeze :)
A true fan!
Superb dumplings and pork buns. Ordering via iPad is cool, service was great and there are several beers available. What's not to like? I've been here several times, with both colleagues and personal friends - it's a great place for an informal catch up.

Amazing food, ordering on the iPads was great and the food was out within 20 minutes which was so good! The soup dumplings were also great would recommend.
This place is awesome! We went for lunch for the first time the other day and absolutely loved it! You order your food on an iPad, which has photos and descriptions so you really know what youâre getting. You then go pay at the counter. Within about 10 minutes our table was full of the most delicious feast. They even do free refills on your tea, where most places charge just for adding hot water. This is definitely the best Yum Cha Iâve had and Iâll be going back as soon as I can!
Love this place! Really cool and hip with easy and quick service during lunch time. The squid legs are absolutely delicious, the best that I've had. It's tucked away in a lil arcade but once you find it, its super easy.
Been to this place twice. Never fail to impress me. I love the steam buns, the roast duck and the chicken. The place is really nice and hidden. The staff are friendly and provided good service.
If you're searching for gluten free dumplings this is the spot! I have been allergic to gluten for 10 years and have been on such a hunt for them, I was so happy I nearly cried. They taste absolutely amazing! Thankyou so much bambamboo I will be back âșïžâșïžâșïž
Best dumplings in Perth by far! We always get the Shanghai dumplings, lamb dumplings, bbq pork buns and the amazing shallot rice $23 for tasty fresh food! Always recommend to friends.
I love this place for so many reasons!
The ordering is on iPads & is so clear & easy to use. Ingredients are shown which is great for those of us with food allergies.
The team are friendly (you put your name in when you order, and they greet you by name when you go to pay).
You get a text when the order is ready & the food is delicious.
Great all round 5/5
Traditional Dim Sum lovers will call this place not authentic but overall i like this place. From the easy to use ipad ordering system, you know you wont get greeted by a snappy asian staffmember. The food is reasonably priced, fast and efficient, the ambience is contemporary and the food is tasty. Reminds me of Hong Kong for some reason which is not a bad thing..
Ordering system is cool and it didn't take long time for the food to be ready. The food was okay. And they also have condiment station, which is good.
Great food! Noodles aren't as good as they use to be but still one of our favourite places. Roast duck & dumplings are great. Good prices and quick service
Great place!! I love how you can order on iPads really helps out and prevents there to be long waits in regards to lining up. Had the dumplings, chicken feet and wonton soup here. The whole restaurant has a collective feel to it with shared seating. Overall great place with reasonable prices.
Very convenient, fast service. Delicious food. A little on the salty side. Great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed, have been heee twice and will return again. Great value for money.Would be great to be able to pay for food using card also using the iPad system.
If you aren't sure what to have and just want to find a quick filling quality meal then bambamboo is the place!
Easy ordering system has you guide your way by using an iPad located at the front entrance and the side.
It's a funky little restaurant tucked away in the food hub of Perth bringing a fresh cool new vibe to Perth. There are communal tables and benches for the solo diners. The restaurant exposes a lot of cool art from the ceiling to the walls.
Only downfall I could say at this particular visit (I've dined many times before) the pork ribs were over sauced but still delicious.
Pork buns are always amazing. It's as if you're biting into a cloud of deliciousness.
Soft shell crab seemed to be a new addition but a yummy one.
Usually not a fan of anything with minced chicken, I was delighted with the chicken dim sim.
Serving sizes are always large for a single person, so great to share with a friend.
I had my first visit to Bambamboo on Saturday and definitely have to say if you're ever looking for something different try this place!
The ordering system is super cool and at your own pace on iPads so there's so rushing and you can take your time picking out of their massive menu. The menu items were super cheap which was our favourite part about the place. There was so much variety especially for vegetarians (try the chilli tofu!). The service was lovely and friendly. We found the best spot to sit was around the corner and at the back which was nice and quiet for a Saturday night. Highly recommend Bambamboo!
Amazing! While staying in the city we decided to take advantage of the short walk to BamBamBoo as the extensive menu was extremely alluring. Ordering on the ipad was a fun experience (with options to pay by cash at the til or card) and for two people and a drink each was only $50(and we ordered hungry), we ordered Prawn wontons which were easily the best i've ever had, small noodles, small fried rice, BBQ Pork, Porkbelly bao and Mince patty Bao. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was fast and perfectly cooked! 10/10 will come back and tell everyone!!!
Iâve found Yum Cha always a little too noisy and hectic, in the true. sense of the word. I always had this irrational fear about being run. down by a person with a trolley! But not at BamBamBoo. It was like an Asian fast food version of your local Chinese but better. Much better!
Today was my first visit. The food was fantastic, wheat noodles with chicken and mushroom in a gentle flavoured sauce and steamed chicken dumplings that were to die for. The ordering system didn't text me when my order was ready so maybe needs some work but I didn't have to wait long until a staff member told me I could collect my meal. I enjoyed the lunch thoroughly but maybe the ordering system needs work.
Visited this place on 27th March for lunch.
Ordered chilli prawn wontons, oolong tea, wheat noodles, veg dumplings and soft shellfish steamed bao. All food items and condiments were served fresh and piping hot. Food was delicious, service was quick and good.
Hardest part was ordering the items from the ipad menu which looks cool at first but an unnecessary investment as in the end have to pay at the counter to the guy behind the till!
4 stars for the good food but 1 star lost for the cumbersome ordering process and lack of dedicated seating... had to share table.
Amazing food and fantastic atmosphere! We ordered 5 dishes and every dish was flavourful and delicious plus great prices! Will be back for sure.
if bambamboo is the future of food, im on board, at the front, windows down, full speed. just so good. flavour, cooking, service and a great interior, make this the best noodles ive eaten since Footscray.
its been about 3 months since i ate here, and the excellence in execution remains superb. the balance of flavours has been thought about, tested and perfected. you'd think the kitchen would struggle with the new menu item's, but not so.
eat here
Visited this place with a friend , let me tell you the food was amazing.
It's vegetarian friendly as well , ordered their pan fried dumplings, sweet buns, steamed dumplings ; all of them was very tasty and amazing will definitely visit this place again
Thumbs up for this
Come here often as you can always get a table when it opens unlike its northbridge counterparts. I always get a mixture of steamed and pan fried seafood and meat dumplings and they are consistently good. I find the iPad ordering system easy to use and it's a good choice for a quick takeaway mid week lunch.
I have visited Bambamboo several times now and enjoyed each time. Great dumplings. Last visit I selected the BBQ duck which was delicious, however the fried rice was pretty bland - had to throw two mini containers of chilli sauce in to get it across the line... the ha gao (my fave dumpling ever!!) was tasty but the pastry broke up when trying to pick it up to chilli dunk and gob... I will still be back because I love the no fuss way of ordering and of course the dumplings!

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
When your kids recommend a cafe based on the fact you get to order on an iPad it is not necessarily a solid precursor to fine dining, however Bambamboo meets exactly the expectations that such an image conjures up.
Quick, easy, quite tasty, a little too expensive to be called 'cheap and cheerful' but not far off.
And so.....after co-ordinating the family lunch order on a single iPad screen (a little bit trickier than it sounds) the novelties continued with the giant, inflatable 'doughnut' table which more than comfortably sat the four of us and left plenty of room for bouncing.
And, contrary to the dire prognostications of dad and the best efforts of the bouncing six year old, the green tea remain intact!
The assortment of dumplings, BBQ pork, pork buns and a couple of serves of rice (to keep the younglings content) all arrived in reasonably quick time (another must of the family feast), which meant a more peaceful experience for the more mature diners!
By way of stand out, the pork buns were really pretty good, being light and fluffy (always a risk of too dense dough) and the prawn dumplings were flavoursome and well cooked.
The pork dumplings were reasonable, though a little flavour free and the BBQ pork was quite oily.
The abundance of condiments made up somewhat for flavour devoid dumplings though the chilli oil was a little ignominious and without punch.
But all in all, for under $50 a family of four was well fed and watered with enough room in the tummy for dessert hunting in the city markets.
Don't go for fine dining, but for family feeding with a bit of fun at not a bad price, it is not a bad little find.
Would do again with the mini-mes, but maybe not with the more discerning of dim sum diners.
I'm from Sydney and this is very good for price, quantity serving, food taste and facilites.
This is great BC you can order as much or little food as possible and it does fill you up. The iPad ordering system is very intuitive.
I had the fried rice and pan fried chicken dumplings.
Fried Rice was a little dry and dumplings was a bit pastey with the filling.
Given a traveler from Sydney and Perth was a ~40 degree day, I was able to fill my stomach, enjoy the ambience (the tyre seating is fun and good for back posture), unlimited refill, chilled water, (filled water bottle), clean toilets and enjoyed the air conditioning.
I only wish I could of tried the tea but it did not describe the differences in teas.
Really the only thing needed is free wi fi.
I would recommend and very innovative.
Wanted to try Ribs & Burgers but was too busy so we went around the corner to Bambamboo for a quick lunch. Ordering was self serviced and simple. We were notified by SMS when our orders were ready to be picked up. Tried pork belly noodle soup, fried Rice and couple of other dim sum. Serving size of the noodle was pretty decent and soup stock was really nice. Xiaolongbao skin was a bit dry and thick but filling was good. Fried Rice was so so bit Jin liked it. Overall, I really like this little eating joint, great value and rather relaxed environment.
Not bad at all. I don't mind the order on the iPad system, it's quicker. Pork buns, prawn dumplings and siomai tasted fresh. Pork belly baos were nice. The sweet chicken buns were an interesting mix of savoury and sweet. Yes it's a tad pricier than northbridge dim sum with less choices. It was easy to order, no lines and comfy tables so not a bad trade especially if you're in that area.

Okay, so I was a bit sceptical at first, but they've won me over. As a bit of a dim sum purist (raised solidly on the 'good stuff' in Singapore and Hong Kong). Though it's missing the usual accompaniment of sliced ginger, the xiao long bao are actually pretty darn good. Sure, they're a bit thick skinned and certainly not as expertly folded as they should be, but I wouldn't have expected that from them tbh. The flavour of the soup and filling was good - and when I first tried them I nearly sang in joy for not being presented with the kind of gelatinous mess some other Perth places offering XLB have done. One of my other top picks for this place are the fried mantou with Singapore chilli sauce .. They are -so- moreish. Generally the dumplings and noodle dishes that I've had have been great, though their roast duck portions can be a bit miserly, and I don't really rate their cha siu bao (too sweet).
The bambamboo club deals have always been great, and service has been super friendly and super quick every time I've been. Overall, bambamboo exceeded my (admittedly, low) initial expectations and is a really solid city eatery for fast, delicious food. Big thumbs up!
Some good choices here but the ordering system could be more simplified. I'm not a fan of touching smeared ipads which could do with the occasional wipe.
This place offers freshness and value.
The steamed pork buns were beautiful. We enjoyed the dumplings too- they were nice and crisp- but I thought that they definitely should have been hotter. It's a great location and I love the ceiling outside!
I do love this place - on the face of it a little kitsch - but at its heart delicious food, good variety and cheery service. It's a vego's Sunday Yum Cha paradise, with no sneaky bits of prawn tucked into the meal. I had noodles, pan fried dumplings, greens and pot of jasmine tea for under $20. Good value and a magic remedy for a Sunday hangover!

I have a love hate relationship with Bambamboo. Let me start with the negative so I can end with a positive note. First, I think their ordering system is not good because you wait to order using iPad, and then you wait to queue to pay on the cashier, and then you wait again for your number to be called up for you to walk up again to collect your food. This can be an absolute mess during busy lunch hour. Second, I think the portion is too small for the price you pay. At $14 you get literaly 3-4 thin slices of pork belly with 2 dumplings and some vege on small fried rice.
However, on the positive side, I come back again to Bambamboo because first of all its strategic location in the heart of CBD and literally 2 minutes walk from my office with plenty of sitting. But more importantly because their food is actually really decent. Albeit the portion and size, their pork belly is soft and tasty. Their fried mantau is amazing especialy with their chilli crab sauce! Free sauces includinh garlic, chilli oil, and herbs on the counter for you to take and to add more flavour into your dishes.
We took a chance on this place not being locals and found the food to be delicious and very reasonably priced. Also the staff, particularly Zia & the young Balinese chap were very helpful & friendly. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved this place!
Spent $80 (which is a huge amount) and got SO much food for it. We loved everything ordered and can't wait to go back. 5+ rating without a doubt. đđŒ
Interesting concept for a quick lunch. Ordering on a tablet and pick up the food minutes later. I tried an assortment of dim sum dumplings and everything was really nice. Cool decor, would definitely return if I was in the CBD again.
The food was awesome. Staff were really friendly. Order on ipad, pay and then moments later we got the sms to collect the food. Was really great experience.
I think this place is hella cheap! good quality dumplings whenever i've been. i like the ordering system. They really gun the food out, which is great as they are usually busy.
Unsure why people said the price was high as you get SO MUCH!. The shui jiao. you get like 8 instead of the normal 3-4 from normal Dim Sim place.. and they are HUGE!
Coriander and Prawn dumpling, the skin was thin and fresh..
Been there twice now.. good value for money, you don't end up ordering a lot but what you order is very filling.
I'm a huge dumpling fan so wanted to try this place out. Came here for dinner and ordered an array of dumplings. I was pleasantly surprised at how delectable everything was for the price. Between the 3 of us, we only spent $50 and had a hearty meal. Customer service was fantastic. Definitely recommend this place if you love cheap and delicious food.
Oh my, oh my. Bambamboo has nailed the criteria when it comes to a good spicy dumpling noodle bowl. The broth was not too spicy that it over killed the flavour of the prawn dumplings, noodles thinner than your average noodle but it doesn't bother me and the prawn dumplings were the star of the show for me! Prawn was plump and meaty and the dumpling skin delicately melts in your mouth. This is called the shuijiao noodles. Also, roast duck was super yum âșïž
Fast And Delicious Eats!

Went here for lunch. The pork belly noodle soup was delicious and so was the shanghai dumplings which were on half price special this week. The express lunches were also good value and ready to eat so great if you are short on time!
Visited bambamboo for the second time today and was once again impressed by the value for money. There is not much in the way of service because it is all done on ipads however it is an efficient way to get orders through. The venue itself is spacious and modern and has a great vibe unlike some other lunchtime options in the CBD. I had the BBQ pork rice noodle soup and while there was only 4 pieces of pork throughout the entire dish.. for the price I paid I was left very satisfied. I am also a big fan of the fact you can order dim sum alongside the various bbq, rice and noodle dishes.
Located in the heart of the city above the train station, it's always busy on a weekday lunch. Order via ipads and self collection at the kitchen bench - this place churns out dishes pretty quick. I quite like the concept, very similar to many dining places in Asia. More importantly, I think their noodle dishes are quite nice with flavoursome sauce and plenty of ingredients added. Had the hot and sour beef shin noodles which was delicious. Their charsiew bao so so, but the lamb pan fried dumplings is worth a try. Their roast duck was also meaty and juicy.
Went here for lunch on a weekday and order a lunch takeaway special - yum!!! Such a variety of options in the one meal. Will be back with friends!
Yum! I love dumplings. Went for lunch with a colleague and I want to go back next week! Thought the iPad ordering was cool, and we didn't have to wait too long for the food.
Bambamboo is a great place for dim sum anytime of the day. Have been here several times in the last year last visit went with a group of five and managed to feed 5 people with tea for under $70. The pork buns are amazing, xiao long bao are nice but I do find they break way to easy or are stuck together when steamed and this results in no soup on the inside. The chilli squid and BBQ meats are also a must order. There is also a good selection of teas.
One thing I would like to see changed is when you order on the iPads after selecting every item it comes up with a message asking if I want soup or to add anything and then puts me at the top of the menu and I have to restart. Maybe just ask me at the end of my order.
Didnt really like the whole "ordering from iPad" concept. We ordered char siew pau, har gau, bbq pork slices and the bbq pork noodles. Dim sum was good but noodles were a no no.
I really enjoyed my experience here in bambamboo! A bit confusing using iPad for ordering first but I'll get used to it! Everything I ordered was good, especially for the price. There were quite some baby high chairs on my second visit, really happy about thatđđ»
This is such a great place in the heart of the CBD at 140 William for a few dishes or a full smorgasboard that is not too expensive. We ordered (on the iPads) duck spring rolls, pork buns, crispy squid, sticky rice, mixed vegetables and taro balls for dessert. Everything was delicious, even the free dishes we received from being signed up to their loyalty program that we thought we would receive upon our next visit. Luckily they are happy to give you a doggy bag. Would definitely keep going back. It was easy enough to get a table after work on a Friday and the service is super quick!
Really love this place
Self serve is easy to use and very interesting
Staff always cheerful and the food is very good for value
Chilli dumplings are my favourite and normally are pretty on point
I was walking through the arcade around 12:30pm and just as I thought about what I was getting for lunch, a nice girl gave me a voucher for two free dumplings when I order lunch. If this wasn't a sign I don't know what is. I went to bambamboo and waited about 5 minutes to use the iPad. After ordering I waited about 10 minutes for my tray. Not a bad wait but totally worth it. The free dumplings were yum. Veggie pot stickers and veggie pau. I also ordered chicken wings and duck noodle soup. I was pretty hungry and I love new restaurants so I went a bit overboard. Plus two plates were free. Total was about $15. Pretty good. Chicken wings were crunchy but oily. The noodles were good too.

Had the pork belly noodles, colour dumplings and chilli dumplings all the while sitting on donut table! Haha! Love the novelty!
The noodles wasn't as soft as I expected but everything else in the bowl was YUM!
The colour dumplings was ok. The skin was too think. Same with the chilli dumplings. But the fillings was great.
And the sauce of chilli dumplings!! Wow! Amazing!
We came to bambamboo with high expectations after reading a few reveiws. I think we were let down a bit after using the ipads. They felt unresponsive and slow. Although a great idea, it would have been nicer if they were on the table or wall. Other than that, the food came out fast and hot. It tasted amazing and everyone was enjoying themselves. Will go again.
great for a yummy and quick feed. you can order at your table. not there hugest range of vegetarian options but you will find something. the shallot noodles and steamed buns are good. staff are great too.
I am blown away by the food! Ordered via ubereats and the food came all fresh and hot! Tasty plus was on discount
Kudos to the chef and thank you for the sticker!
Will definitely order again
Really nice Chinese food. Decent prices, good serving sizes and very quick service. I like that you can order on the tablets available and then go up to the counter. Definitely more designed for sharing platters.
I got the vegetarian dumplings and loved them!
Limited vegetarian dishes. But better than a lot of dim sum places that have only desserts for vego. Still a pretty good feed. Staffs are friendly too.
Great selection, good atmosphere. If you are in the city and you haven't been here, then I highly recommend you give them a try. Filtered water, not tap water available at your pleasure, but why would you when they cheap and available beverages to suit your desire.
We had several dishes and a delightful green tea for myself and it was all as expected, with the right accompanied sauces and all you need for a reliable dining experience.
This restaurant doesn't have a large variety of dim sum, but, the food quality is good, e.g crispy duck rolls, pork dumplings, xiao long bao and sticky rice đ
Good dumpling place. Rice and bbq pork was okay.
