Bamboo Grill - Canton CT
Our Story - Bamboo Grill Cuisine is a family owned business that began in 1983 with a restaurant called Que Huong in Hartford, CT. Que Huong was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants to open in Connecticut. The restaurant was a suggestion by friends and family of husband and wife duo Ve (Victor) and Dung (Young) when they were cooking meals from their home every weekend. They continued to open four more restaurants but Bamboo Grill in Canton is the only one remaining. If you have tried the others, you are assured to know that this is a rare find. Their menu consists of an array of flavors and varieties that you’ll definitely find a favorite. If you’ve supported us, we thank you and we wish for you to continue your patronage. If you’re new to Bamboo Grill, our family invites you to join our tradition in finding your taste buds’ delight.

Hartford Courant - Hartford, Conn. Jun 9, 2005
Section: FLAVOR 50 Albany Turnpike (Route 44) Canton, 860-693-4144 This little eatery, tucked into a brick building set back from the road and featuring excellent Vietnamese cuisine, is a popular takeout stop for Farmington Valley commuters who travel Route 44. That's no surprise, because the food here is well prepared, prices are low and service is efficient and friendly. From appetizers to entrees, each item we bring home is a winner. Goi Cuon, Vietnamese spring rolls, are delicate wraps stuffed with fresh veggies, shredded pork or fresh shrimp, served with a light peanut sauce. Bo Luc Lac, which features tender chunks of filet mignon on a bed of watercress, tomatoes and onions, is a tasty Asian alternative to the American chef salad. Bun Heo Nuong -- grilled pork served on slender rice noodles and garnished with shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, crunchy fried onions and chopped peanuts -- is an impressive combination of complementary flavors and textures. One of the restaurant's signature dishes is whole crisp fried flounder served with a spicy sauce. Another is the seafood pancake, filled with lobster, scallops, shrimps and vegetables and a real bargain at $15.95. Other options include a variety of soups, such as several spicy hot-and-sours; appetizers; salads; and noodle dishes served with grilled beef, pork or seafood and shrimp, chicken or pork fried rice. The menu also includes close to a dozen vegetarian soups, appetizers and entrees made with tofu. Most dinners are served with choice of white rice, brown rice or rice noodles. Bamboo Grill is open for dinner only. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 5 to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 5 to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m. -- KORKY VANN |
