TL;DR: Stumbled on this place and were treated to the best food of our travels. We'd been traveling for almost 8 weeks by this stage and the gloss of O/S adventures was starting to fade. After a day of playing tourist in London we looked for somewhere to eat but nothing we saw seemed attractive. After some walking around Stratford we happened upon a strip with quite a few restaurants. We were set to enter one establishment but it had a closed sign so we looked next door and found this place advertised as a Japanese-Peru fusion. I was aware that Peru had a large population of Japanese descent but had not tried the food. We opted for one of their tasting menus to experience as much as we could at one sitting. It turned out to be one of the better decisions fo our travels. The food was outstanding. While recognisably of Japanese origin the Peruvian twists were stunning. Each of the decisions were beautifully presented but tasted even better than it looked. Our host explained each of the courses in loving detailed as they were (rightfully) proud of what was being produced. We're now back in Australia but will relive the memories of this place with great fondness.
Been there 3 times, with family brunching and for dinner. Love this place, the food and the atmosphere! So, proud of Moldovans who expanded at such level in London! Definitely the place for banging Ox Cheeks, Octopus and sorts and sorts of sushi! Highly recommend! HOPE they do some Moldovan special menu once in a while, level so high, just so curious!
Absolutely love this place! We come here often, and it never disappoints. The cocktails are spot-on, and the sushi is hands down the best in the area. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Cozy atmosphere, great vibe—it’s our go-to spot for a great night out!
Love the food here, and with the Fork discount it's an amazing deal. The lamb chops are to die for !! And the desserts are outstanding!!! The service can be a bit slow, but the chef takes great care in beautifully presented and delicious dishes. I would recommend this restaurant and have been a few times now. Definitely one of my go-to restaurants🥰
Incredible food and phenomenal flavours but slow services. The food was spectacular and so flavourful, the staff were incredibly nice. However the service was a bit slow and food didn’t arrive together but that was fine because it’s really delicious. Highly recommend the ceviche deluxe!
A family get together. Lovely staff, beautiful food and great staff. They even put a candle in my partner's pudding, when they found out the meal was for his birthday. It really made the experience extra personal. I recommend and will be returning again. Thank you Bamboo Mat, Stratford 🤗
We came to bamboo Matt for an engagement celebration in a group of our friends. The staff set up our table in a private area of the restaurant, and our order was taken promptly and quickly All in all, the sushi was okay with some parts tasting great like the veggie and spicy tuna suishi and the spinch salad all tasting amazing. However, other elements were distinctly average, such as the veggie salad and some of the other maki rolls. Furthermore, the atmosphere was lacking for a Saturday night it was very quiet. All in all, very good service but there in needs work on the food and overall atmosphere.
George the manager was so lovely. We made a booking on the Fork app and we were over an hour late for our booking unknowingly. He was kind enough to still honour the discount out of his own accord. He really didn’t have to but he saw my wife was heavily pregnant and didn’t want to inconvenience us. We’ve eaten at this restaurant multiple times, we love the ambience and decor. Nice seating area outside for the hot summer days and of course fabulous food. Our waitress Diana was so lovely, she’s a new member of the team with a bubbly personality and lovely smile. When my wife mentioned she was allergic to cucumbers she double checked the whole menu for us. Highly Recommended.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was great. Everything about this place was perfect. I definitely recommend it!
very tasty. incredible sushi, pleasant service, we really liked it
Aesthetics was top notch, defo a place u go on for a date and a nice walk with a beautiful view after. The food was great and the service was top notch. The only thing that was lacking was big food portions, they lack that and if they was bit more generous with it, then this is perfect. Very good nonetheless
Grate food and excellent customer services from Radu and Carmen , I will be back again
Flavours were really lacking unfortunately. Service was slow. They were nice enough to give us a private room, but then forgot about us several times. Also pricey for what it was. Have had much better sushi elsewhere.
Good location. Decent decor 3.5/5, lacks refinement. The service 2.5/3 out of 5 felt unprofessional at times. The waitresses lacked service etiquette re: the interaction with customers e.g., huddling in small groups to speak about customers - inexperienced/unprofessional. Food was good 4/5. The lamb chops and Octopus were cooked well. The octopus is not a main as youll need another dish to go with but this may not be necessary if you have starters or are doing a low carb diet. Hygiene/Cleanliness 2.5/3 out of 5. The chef sneezed or held his nose to sneeze n then went straight on to touch chicken thighs. Could do with a better kitchen ventilation system to help eliminate the smoke/smell from the kitchen.
Very very very nice
Very delicious food..amazing
We had the MOST incredible lunch to celebrate my partner s birthday! We ordered the tasting menu for the festive season and the food was out of this world, with particular highlights being the salmon cerviche and wagyu beef. The Moldavian Merlot was delicious and Denis kindly offered us a tasting of their other wines. They whole experience was fantastic, we cannot recommend it enough!
Great restaurant!!,And the food ...woooow very good. We went to celebrate my husbands birthday with a large group of 20 people and the service was seamless, food came out correctly and staff are extremely friendly and clearly happy at their job. Definitely will be going back.
I had the pleasure of dining at Mamboo Mat and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a stylish decor that set the perfect tone. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. The food was truly exceptional each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell that quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation go into every bite. The balance of flavors was spot-on, and it was clear the chefs put a lot of passion into their craft. Overall, is a gem. Whether you re looking for a place for a special occasion or just a fantastic meal, this is the spot. I can t wait to return and explore more of their menu!
Today I went to this restaurant, a delicious meal and a very kind staff! I recommend with love! you are gorgeous!
A super nice atmosphere in this restaurant
Eat at Bamboo Mat Stratford as part of a birthday group booking 2.11.2024. Really cant fault it and the team and manager were really helpful in making it special. The food is also excellent and priced reasonably well considering some of the other over priced restaurants nearby. Thanks again
Amazing service by Anastasia! Amazing food!
Everything was perfect about food and atmosphere. Shoutout to Eugen, nice waiter
We had an amazing experience in bamboo mat , Stratford.George, the manager was very kind and he explained a lot about the food and drinks.Such a wonderful place!!keep up the work guys!!

Love this place. We are coming here every weekend, highly recommended, love this atmosphere, the best sushi in London and very tasty cocktails
The place is mega cool. A super nice atmosphere with friendly staff especially the waitress Estera created a wonderful evening with tasty sushi recommendations that I would definitely recommend to friends. Super satisfied!
Lovely venue with a great atmosphere! Esther was a great host to us! Food
Ive been here a couple of times and have to say its always amazing! Would recommend the unagi maki, ox cheek and creme brûlée. Waitress is always so friendly and there is relatively quick service
Great service, friendly staff and very tasty food
Tasting menu was serious value for money the drinks too. Everything tasted amazing.
This place is terrific for Nikkei food. Thats the cuisine of the Japanese diaspora in Peru. Think Japanese food that uses some non traditional South American ingredients such as chillis and coriander. Most purveyors of Nikkei food in London are exhorbitant but Bamboo Mat is reasonably priced and excdellent too. We usually order a tiradito or ceviche, followed by maki rolls and maybe finish with one of their great value meaty mains (big portions).
Absolutely lovely place! We had an amazing date night with my hubby, taking tasting menu with wine pairing - enjoyed every piece and every moment :) Definitely recommend to visit, the extra ordinary combination of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine makes this place special. Food
Very nice place. Very good food. I recommend this beautiful place.
We just had an amazing lunch experience for my birthday. Everything was so delicious. Thanks for sure we will be back
Vegetarian options: Sweet potatoes Food

Our go-to Japanese restaurant never fails to impress! The food is consistently outstanding, from fresh, melt-in-your-mouth teriyaki to expertly crafted sushi and flavourful signature dishes like the ox cheek. The warm atmosphere and amazing staff make every visit a treat.
Amazimg food and exceptional service
Very nice atmosphere.
Very tasty, really recommend Philadelphia Maki
Speechless. Thats all I can say. Go and try it yourself.
Good service, the food was good a bit overpriced for the portions you get
Absolutely amazing food. Ive eaten at lots of Michelin restaurants and bang for buck this beats them all.
Very nice culinary experience! Varied and unexpected menu. Service (to clear out) a little quick. Only real big downside: price for reduced portions and rice extra... Dietary restrictions: Very attentive to dietary restrictions.
Great food, friendly service. Ceviche Hot Maki is a must try.
the most delicious food in London!!!
Superb sushi, superbly decorated place, and people who work superbly, wow, and when you go to the bathroom, you see the most beautiful bathroom, I have no words
Exceptional! This is one of the best local restaurants that I ve been to. The service is brilliant and the staff very knowledgeable about each dish, so you can choose confidently from the menu. I have no other words to describe the food but exceptionally delicious and fresh. The prices, a bit higher than expected, but given the quality of the service and overall experience, is definitely worth it. I 100% recommend Bamboo-Mat to everyone who likes this cuisine and is in the area!
I had most delicious dinner , all dishes we had were outstanding ! I have been to many top quality Japanese restaurants and quality here is simply at the same level while prices still reasonable for this quality
This is the not my first visit , and they deserve 100% 5 . For our family is the favorite restaurant Food and service are amazing Highly recommended Kid-friendliness: They have a healthy kids menu
Took my partner for a birthday lunch on a quiet Monday. Food was delicious and we were treated extremely well by the manager George. Would highly recommend for both casual and special occasions. We will be back to try more of the dishes!
Excellent food. The salmon teriyaki, lamb chops and chicken antichico are excellent. The sushi and sashimi are very good. Service is very good.
We had an amazing lunch at Bamboo Mat. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. The food is delicious especially the sushi they are amazing, the best I tried in London so far! Overall, fantastic service and a perfect place for a great meal. We will definitely be back!
A great food experience. A wide variety of food and everything so tasty. We ll come back for it, 100%.
Amazing dishes, something special
The best sushi I ever try in London, friendly staff and pleasant and atmospheric music.
Very nice sushi, Love it
This is a lovely place, great quality food and very nice and friendly service! I especially liked Unagi roll. I highly recommend visiting if you get a chance.

Had a fantastic experience at Bamboo Mat restaurant The ambiance was cozy, and the staff made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend for a great meal and warm atmosphere. We ll definitely be back!
Soooooooooo tasty
We ve been waiting for 50 minutes for just three portions of sushi rolls, and nobody approached us to explain the delay or even apologize for the long wait. By the time the food finally arrived, our patience was completely gone. I didn t enjoy it at all. I went there to have a nice evening, but it ended up being ruined. I ve never spent £70 with this much frustration
Amazing food and service!
Wonderful food. So fresh and tasty Dietary restrictions: They offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. Let your waiter know when you order Kid-friendliness: We were quickly offered a space to park the pram and a high chair
Amazing experience! I just had a wonderful evening in a lovely atmosphere, good food and great service. Staff were really friendly, our waitress was also speaking Russian, so were we! The food was amaaaaazing, very great sushi maki rolls, drinks, and whatever my friend ordered - we were impressed. Thanks! Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible with a wheelchair
This sushi restaurant 5 isnt nothing. i want to give 10/10. Everything was perfect service, fresh food, the staff brilliant amazing amazing amazing thank you the manager you are the best
I had an amazing experience at Bamboo-Mat. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Everything from start to finish was absolutely briëliant service was on spot and ready at all times and even generous enough to ask if i needed anything at times Quality of ingredients fresh like the were cutting the salad in a garden in the back Definitely visitong again
The best sushi Ive ever had? Quite possibly. We couldnt help but order more. My favourites were the classics. Ive been dreaming about going back. Please dont change!
excellent cheesecake, salad, sushi and lamb
I had a terrible experience on my last visit. Food was good, but it took over an hour for the first starter to arrive, despite the restaurant being only half full. I had ordered two sides and two mains for the table, and not only everything arrived extremely late, they all arrived at wildly different times. There was an almost 30 minute delay between the first starter and my main, while none of my wife s order had arrived. I was done eating and we were still waiting on her order. By the end we didn t get even at least an apology. Terrible experience
Fantastic meal, again. Great flavours and really interesting dishes. Fresh, well presented and great tasting. Thank you for a lovely meal.
Great local spot for some sushi, the service was friendly too
Hmmmm best why to check your self Best reg to Mr G and team Food
One word: EXCELLENT! Had an amazing dinner here and honestly cant wait to go back. The food, the drinks and the service were all top notch. Do yourself a favor and stop in here if youre ever in Stratford
This place is absolutely a hidden gem in Stratford area. Finally a decent restaurant in the neighbourhood area of East Village. The restaurant has great selection twist of Peruvian Japanese theme. So if you love raw food, this is the place to be. Although they do have some of the cooked dishes too so suitable for everyone. My favourite dish was the grilled octopus, it really had some good flavours and the texture of the octopus was tender and juicy! The sushi makis were alright nothing too special about it. One thing to really feedback would be the sauce the restaurant uses. It was a bit salty when added to some of the dishes. Overall, I think it is a great restaurant to come for some great Asian twist food! Came recently in June 2024, felt the quality of the sushi has slightly dropped in terms of rice texture. It was broken a part when tried to pick up. Hopefully this is just a one off thing. Octopus presentation was changed too. Will let customer to judge the dish presentation between last year and this year. Salmon teriyaki was cooked beautifully though! Juicy and tender!
Good food nice drinks nice little local spot
Food was great and service was amazing
Great quality food and large portions. Manager was amazing and polite as well. Highly recommend for an amazing food experience
The food is 10/10. The to tiradito is to die for. Awesome selection. The vibes are especially the outdoor seating on a nice summer day Lovely management. We had a small mistake made with our bill and the manager George resolved it immediately no fuss no drama. Just a lovely team of people working here who provide quality food at a very reasonable price. Super fast service too If you want a guaranteed good night with good vibes and amazing delicious food then you must come here it ticks every box I couldn t be happier with my experience! Xxx
So pleased with their services , the food was so delicious and fresh I highly recommend it
I ate the most delicious grilled octopus and my partners sushi was also very good. The starter with flambeed salmon is also recommended. The waiter was super nice and attentive.
Good food but understaffed restaurant.
Yeah this ain t it, and I really don t understand why the place is rated so high. You are essentially paying central London prices for some very mediocre food, with a single set of sushi being £16 and obviously they ll add a service charge on top of that Speaking of service, it is slow as well and we waited for over an hour between dishes, even though the place was almost empty (late evening on a Sunday). In the end, after paying almost £100 for a couple of small plates we left feeling that it was not worth the time and money spent and will not be coming back. You can find much better restaurants in London for the same value and better dishes.
Food was excellent, service was pretty poor from some staff but others were good. Would I go back?!! Yes. Will assume it was new members of staff that let the team down. When we mentioned qe wanted the service charge removed the manager came over and apologised and reduced the bill considerably. ( even though we said that wasnt necessary).
The best food ever
Perfect locations and very respectful staff
Lamb chops are the best i ever ate, sushi and all the food is amazing, good atmosphere and very good cocktails
Beautiful restaurant, a lovely place to catch up with friends. Food was very interesting, a wide choice available in the menu. Highly recommend the sushi
Natalia and Roxana I recently dined at Bamboo Mat restaurant , and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern decor and cozy comfort. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome and well-cared-for throughout our meal. It was the perfect end to a wonderful meal. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food and services. Thank you for your service Gheorghe
Comfortably the best sushi restaurant in East London. Excellent as always! The ceviche, sushi rolls and cheesecake were especially good.
The best!!!
It was ok; had a pleasant enough meal. Nothing super special but also totally fine. Would probably go back
A nice, small restaurant with nice, attentive service. The sushi was very good and very exciting in terms of the mix of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine in terms of the flavor combinations. Thats why its also an experience to eat primarily Japanese food, but also to listen to the finest Spanish music. Priced commensurate with the quality.
The sashimi was nice but bento box I would not recommend. The salad had a weird taste and the chicken was too salty with a soft, chewy skin. That is supposed to be crispy.
The best ceviche, highly recommend, very fresh ingredients and nice service
Very good sushi, very fresh fish Recommended Food
Quite posh restaurant. Ordered Salmon Teriyaki £14 with one piece salmon on its own, rice is excluded plus Simon rolls. 2 people spend £55 and still hungry. In Five guys now. More expensive than I expected. Taste ok. Corn starter tastes good.
tasty, fresh, high level service and pleasant atmosphere
Very good sushi ,thank you for Estera for good recomend ,the best ceviche in my life ,i will come back soon
I like the sushi ,the service it s very kind and the drinks are also good as well!
The food was really good! The service not great, had to constantly remind the waiter of missing things. He would ask about allergies and the food brought would contain it. Even took the menus without asking what we would eat. He was probably trying his best but even laying the food on the table was questionable. Dietary restrictions: Asked but still came with the dish. (In a way that if noted the kitchen would have removed it)
Excellent food and service. Looking forward to coming back very soon.
Food is incredible, really worth trying. Service very good too
Simply amazing. Best place in east London
This is one of the best and most delicious places in London!!! I recommend to everyone
Lovely attentive staff and all the dishes were delicious. Had a great evening here celebrating my 15 year old sons birthday. Food : 5/5
Great family meal out to celebrate fathers day. Attentive staff, delicious food and not rushed.
Friendly and attractive service, the food was amazing very unique, flavourful and beautiful presented. I particularly loved the ox cheek, grilled octopus and Hamachi Tiradito and the sushi was quite good.
We live in the area and have been to Bamboo Mat about 7 times. Every time the food is exquisite. The ceviche deluxe is delicious, with an amazing lime and mango sauce. It tastes so fresh. The quality of the fish is incredible. If youre a sushi lover, youre in the right place. We always go for the Vulcano Roll, which they torch at your table; who doesnt love a bit of dining theatre. Staff are genuine, attentive, caring and hard working. And today it was warm enough to sit outside. It was a perfect meal. Thank you so much for a lovely evening :)
The food here is an absolute masterpiece
It was our first time at Bamboo-Mat and it was an amazing experience! We were well looked after by the manager, George, who kindly navigated the menu and offered many suggestions. The standout dish of the night was the Ox Cheek. It melted beautifully and the yuzu mash underneath was sublime! We also really enjoyed the Wagyu steak and the volcano roll was so delicious! George flame torched it alongside the salmon nigiri which left a subtle smokey touch. 10/10 highly recommend for some seriously delicious and creative food. Well definitely come again and try the Summer menu! Thank you!
Food was fantastic. Best meal we have had in years. Great variety of Sushi and multiple hot dishes as well. I tried some beautiful Wagyu Beef as well as Octopus and delicious. Service was also brilliant. I only drank Diet Coke but my wife tried a couple of different cocktails and said they were excellent. Definitely will be returning
Excellent !
Lovely place, diverse and inclusive menu for everyone and wonderful cocktails
The spicy tuna roll was good, fried mozzarella ball was gross and over fried. The edamame literally had a wad of salt dumped on top. After that was served, it took another 30-45 min for a mushy sweet potato and teriyaki chicken (ok taste) to be served. Service was terrible. Would not come back.
First ever sushi experience and I loved it!!! The staff was very welcome and accommodating, drinks where amazing food was great. Really enjoyed my sushi and the atmosphere was beautiful. Will deffo recommend and I will be going back
Located in a neighbourhood that slightly away from the busy area of Stratford, surrounded by apartments and parks, which gives a relax feeling. The food was perfect, the Deluxe Ceviche is an excellent fusion of japanese raw fish and ceviche. And was lucky enough to try their new Tuna Tartar as they just release a new menu, it s good but I would personally add a little bit of wasabi in the sauce to give it a little punch. Had ox cheek and grilled octopus for the main, both were cook to perfection. Especially the octopus, didn t expect a grilled octopus would be that tender and juicy. Also ordered a vegetarian version of ceviche and roast sweet potato, just perfect as the regular dish. Just can t go wrong with their food! Not just the food, service was just perfect like the food. Warm and helpful, yet not too much. They are always there when you needed. The only part they need to rethink was the dessert. Had cheesecake, chocolate fondant and crème brûlée. They are not bad indeed, just not matching the high standard and creativity of the whole meal. I would expect something more extraordinary. Anyway, I would definitely come back again. And I am so glad to try this restaurant out!
One of our favourite restaurants. Flavours are fantastic, services are outstanding. Definitely recommend. We had 60 pp and 48 pp tasting meals, really enjoyed it
Best food Ive eaten in a long time Vegetarian options: Im a vegetarian and I had quite a few options in starters and 2 options in sushi, mango maki was so so good! I only had one option in main, would have been nicer to see a couple more but the main was soooooo good! Everything was so tasty and very happy over all with the restaurant. Will definitely go again
Brilliant food and fantastic service!
I can t believe how good this place is the service by the manager is absolutely on point the chef is incredible and the food is so well sourced and incredibly fresh . Really really good for vegan and veggies Greta cocktails looking forward to bring the fam next week :) Food
Tasty food, great service by a lovely manager and a very nice atmosphere
Exquisite Sushi Experience! Each dish was a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. Every bite burst with flavor, showcasing the skill and creativity of the chefs.The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who anticipated our needs without being intrusive. They guided us through the menu, offering recommendations and ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. Without a doubt, this restaurant has earned its place among the elite establishments in the world of sushi dining. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable gastronomic adventure!
Outstanding service from attentive and knowledgeable servers. Food was delicious and we shall most definitely be returning to try the tasting menus. Food
What an incredibly pleasant dining experience. The Manager George was extremely professional, pleasant and helpful in assisting us with making decisions on the menu. Nothing was an issue for him. In addition the food was exceptional. We all had different meals and each of our meals were delicious. The Ox Cheek on a bed of mash potato was awe inspiring. All I could say, is that you must visit this establishment, you won t be disappointed. In summary, an excellent experience and impeccable service. Will definitely be recommending and visiting this restaurant again. Thank you George and your team for a fantastic dining experience. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours.
Amazing food and cocktails, plus super friendly staff! Couldnt recommend more.
A fantastic hidden gem of Stratford. Vibrant and flavourful food and cocktails and always great service. A favourite!
It s been an absolute pleasure to be here . Sushi is been godlike: it s a must visit.
Sensational all round! We loved everything we had from the flavour packed ceviche to the melt in your mouth wagyu. We were lucky enough to be looked after by George who exuded passion and made some great cocktail recommendations.
Love coming here regularly. Staff is very attentive and accommodating. It s dog friendly too for well behaved dogs!
Nice restaurant and food, music and the atmosphere makes you to feel so comfortable, thank you manager Gheorghe for hospitality and service , coming back 100%
A lovely place!! The music and atmosphere is just a vibe. Mr. Gheoghe took care of my friends and i and gave us the best service in the world!!! The food was very delicious. Definitely recommend this place!!
Top notch fusion sushi! Scallops, Tuna and Hamachi that melt in your mouth. Incredible Wagu and Ox Cheek! Great service! Food
Exceptional food. Every dish is really delicious
Excellent! Great selection, great portion sizes, great execution and very friendly staff. And a fair price for what you are getting. Certainly coming back. Felicit ri chefilor!
High end style restaurant in Stratford. Cheaper than Central same quality. A bit out of the way personally. But exceptional for Peruvian/ japanese in East London
We came for drinks and a catch-up, our original server was welcoming and made a wonderful suggestion with my coctail which I immensely enjoyed. We left an item behind but were greatful Nadiya was on the job to return it to us. Will definitely be back another time.
The food here is incredible. Fresh and expertly prepared, the menu shows real elegance. There are loads of gluten free choices which is great for me. The staff are generally well informed about food allergies and can help guide your selections. The California roll is stuffed with real crab and rolled in roe, which pop delightfully in your mouth when you bite into it. The wagyu maki is also a triumph of different flavours. The pickled wasabi really makes this dish a bit special. The owner is very friendly and they have gone out of their way to help me host events here in the past. The bathroom is seriously funky and is a point of appreciation! Highly recommend. Dietary restrictions: Caters for vegetarians, pescatarians and coeliacs. Seems to have a good understanding of food handling and I d feel comfortable eating here Wheelchair accessibility: The entry is flat and the entire restaurant is in one level. They have an accessible bathroom.
I dont usually do reviews, but when I do its because Im very impressed. I visited this place on the recommendation of friends and had a great experience. The food was amazing and I can say it is the best food I have had in a London venue. The staff were very friendly and experienced in serving and explained a history of the food. I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable experience.
I was there for my birthday dinner and our server was Gheorge which we are very happy with .. food was amazing and along with the service we felt exceptional!! Definitely recommend this place , especially on a quite day
The food it was very very taste and fresh the staff was very friendly sure I ll come again
Good food, brilliant staff. Thank you George for excellent service
Thank you George for service and wish you good luck!!!
After a few times eating at Bamboo mat stratford i decided to share my experience. This is not just food is an amazing experience of mixed tastes of japoneze and peruvian which comes with an amazing and friendly atmosphere from the waters. Top restaurant. Recommend Bamboo mat to everyone. Food
I have to say that is one of the restaurants well worth to attend. Amazing food and service! Well recommended!!! Food
Visited Bamboo for the first time this weekend and the whole experience was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and so so fresh. George the manager served us and was so passionate about the food advising whats best to try . He told us all about the best way to enjoy , the ingredients and their home made soy sauce. What an absolute gem in East London
10 out of 10 - great place. Highly recommended!
Cant rate this place highly enough. Booked a table in advance as we were staying in Stratford to see Abba Voyage and was also our wedding anniversary, and so glad we booked the table. Didnt really know what to order but George ( The Manager) was so friendly and helpful in helping us choose. The food was excellent as indeed was the service. You must come here. Thank you George, youre a star.
Delicious food, nicely ambiance, and attentive service
