Traditional Chinese dishes served in a casual family-friendly setting
Bamboo Chinese Restaurant offers standard American-Chinese cuisine in Springdale, serving lunch and dinner to visitors exploring Zion National Park. The menu features familiar dishes like orange chicken, sweet and sour combinations, and vegetable stir-fries, with vegetarian options available throughout.
Located in Zion's primary gateway town, the restaurant provides a convenient dining option for those seeking a break from typical tourist fare. The establishment offers both dine-in service and takeout, though availability may vary during peak times. The dining room accommodates families and groups, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the space.
Recent visitor experiences have been mixed, with concerns raised about:
Food quality and temperature issues
Service consistency challenges
Cleanliness standards
Understaffing during busy periods
The restaurant appears to struggle with maintaining consistent quality during high-traffic tourist seasons.
For travelers staying in Springdale, Bamboo represents one of the limited Asian dining options near the park entrance. Those with flexible schedules might consider visiting during off-peak hours for potentially better service. Given the mixed reviews, visitors may want to explore other Springdale dining options or consider this primarily as a quick takeout choice when other restaurants have long waits.

Very, very dirty. There were rat droppings around the tables, spider webs, and a thick layer of dust everywhere. The furniture is old and worn out. The soup was impossible to eat. Chicken with vegetables and rice was okay. I do not recommend this place.

Standard Chinese restaurant in the U.S. I felt bad for the server. All 9 tables were full and he was the only one working up front. Several people came in because they wanted to order take out and he pretty rudely turned them away.

I’d rate it about 3 stars for now, but considering everything, I still wanted to leave this review to encourage them to do even better. really want to give a big shout-out to this place for being run by Chinese owners who actually cook the food themselves. Our dishes came out super fast, and we loved the stir-fried udon combo and Kung Pao Chicken with rice. I’ve run a restaurant myself, so if I could make one small suggestion—it’d be to maybe use bigger, fancier plates and add just a bit more to the portions. The way food looks really matters too. Wishing you lots of success, and I’ll definitely be back next year!

I should have gone to Panda Express. Place was cold, would not recommend to go eat after hiking. Portions were extremely small for a Chinese restaurant. The orange chicken was cold when it came out and the other dishes were just okay. Avoid unless you are starving and can just eat anything. Paid close to $70 just for 3 small plates.

Best service in town. Easily deserving a 4.5 star rating. Not sure why people are rating it low. One Karen complained about not getting water. They gave us plenty of water right off the bat. They gave us tons of water. Maybe because this Karen they changed things. The food portions were filling. I got fried rice cuz it’s delicious. We also got soup, it was good. No complaints. They do charge built in 15% tip to the food so ppl probably hate that but the service was excellent.
