Awesome food, great service, and the chow mein was full of flavor and huge portion. Well worth the price. Even the shrimp Kung Pao was spot on. My new favorite Chinese restaurant. ?

My family and I went recently for the first time and, suffice to stay, we will be coming back.Food was flavorful and portions were great! I ordered the spicy dan dan noodles and they were delicious! The spice level was just right to still be able to enjoy the dish. The portion was great too because I was able to finish all of it and feel satisfied (whereas I usually take home leftovers when eating out at other places). I also ordered takoyaki and it was also delicious! The inside was creamy and I wish I had ordered more for my family and me.The staff was also inviting, kind, and responsive. The restaurant also offers various Asian snacks to purchase. I got a bag of shrimp chips and Ramune-flavored chewy candies, and our server gave us the candies on the house!I also enjoyed the restaurant atmosphere with windows lining the walls to invite lots of sunlight into the restaurant.

It really pangs to me write this review, as I like to support local businesses and prefer not to leave poor reviews. However, Ive had a couple experiences here that lacked professionalism and I feel its important to share. Last year I chose to stop coming to this establishment because a man that worked there, who was giving me a massage, asked me to travel with him abroad (during my service). He later found me on Facebook and messaged me that he was leaving back to China and wanted to talk to me about my travel plans. This made me incredibly uncomfortable, and I dont understand how anything I had done would permit this type of behavior (aside from sitting in a massage chair and entertaining a kind conversation).I recently returned to Bamboo Creek, as there are excellent practitioners there, but was very disappointed with their lack of courtesy. During my massage this evening members of the staff were talking very loudly. It is a small place, so these conversations carry. Yes, I was the only client there, but it made it extremely difficult to relax. The woman who massaged me was kind of enough to ask them to quiet their voices in the beginning, but they continued to talk very boisterously the entire time I was receiving service. If I knew my experience would be like this I wouldnt have come.When I brought this to the attention of the staff there, they said sorry then laughed at me.I really hope that this review will act as message to improve the professionalism of this establishment. Again, there are great practitioners there. I am an Ojai local and have had a fair amount of good experiences at Bamboo Creek, but there definitely needs to be some training around appropriate customer service.
