I've by-passed this family owned Asian restaurant for many, many years. A family member told me a while back they frequent it because the food is good and it's close to home. Finally, I gave it a try a few days ago and it did not disappoint. The husband/wife team were welcoming and even assisted with suggesting one sauce over another to compliment the entree' and I'll tell you, what a great choice! The food was delicious!!! The service from the duo was so refreshing. You can tell they take pride in their business and value their customers. Each one that entered was treated like family. I was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was nice, clean, relaxing and beautifully decorated. Unfortunately I could only gave it 4 stars vs 5 because there was one stinkin' drawback. One employee had a nasty, stuck-up, unkind, downright funky disposition. It put a damper on the visit, but overall the owners were so nice I had to give THEM their props! I told them I'd be back and when I return, I plan to let them know that this person needs a real customer-service-make-over. She puts a blight on the establishment and doesn't reflect or represent them well them at all! In the meantime, between-time if you've never visited this restaurant it's worth the trip. Nothing like good, fresh food that gives your palate a little song and dance!

I have been coming to Pine and Bamboo since I was a little girl. Our family always feels like family when we stop in here, that's just the way the owners are... it's not because they know us. Even the service for take out is just as amazing. I have a lot of food allergies that make it almost difficult to eat at any Asian restaurant and P&B has always been a safe and respected my allergies. I have still to date never had to send my food back because they made it wrong. On top of making great food that is allergy friendly for me, I normally have to compromise on taste but P&B has the best tasting Chinese/Japanese food I've had EVER. Pine and Bamboo is a cute little mom and pop owned restaurant. They have made updates to the place, giving them a fresh look but it's still romantic and quaint. You can go in dressed up or casual and it's still fees right to be there. I always recommend this place and family and friends from out of town crave it.

***NO DIM SUM*** I was just here on Friday, March 23rd 2023. They no longer have/serve dim sum. I drove quite a distance to not get what I really wanted, but the Google search still shows them as dim sum. So I ordered the beef chow fun which wasn't as "wet" with gravy as I'm used to getting at my fave places in Brooklyn, NY - but maybe it's just how they make it in KC. The walnut shrimp was fine, though.​

This restaurant can be very enjoyable. The dining room is attractive, and the menu includes many options, both Americanized and authentic Chinese. They also have a full bar with good choices of wines. Unlike some Chinese restaurants, this one has the option of brown rice, which is much more healthy than the usual white rice. They also offer Atkins and other options for persons with dietary restrictions. Many of their sauces include chicken broth and sugar, but they will remove those ingredients, if you wish. What particularly impressed me was the Seabass with Szechwan Sauce. Unfortunately seafood is often not a plus in Chinese restaurants. About the only seafood I often order in Chinese restaurants is shrimp. In China, I am even more hesitant to order seafood, since in China everyone seems to think that the bones should remain in the fish. I do not at all like having to pick the bones out of the fish. In China the only way to get fish filet without bones is to go to an international hotel having many international guests. The seabass at this restaurant comes in frozen, but is defrosted daily. I was very happy with the seabass, which was much better than the fish that is usually served in American Chinese restaurants. Also I very much liked the Szechwan spicy sauce. I asked that the sauce be prepared without sugar or chicken broth. Although that was a substantial change in their usual preparation, it was excellent. I liked it a lot. As an appetizer, we ordered the Shrimp Toast. We liked it a lot. It is common in Dim Sun, but not so common as an appetizer. There are parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant on the Shawnee Mission Pkwy frontage road. We parked there. But it might be more convenient to use the parking lot behind the restaurant.

I enjoyed the premium ingredients, the recently remodeled dining area and the efficient, professional service during my dine-in lunch. The sea bass with seasoned veggies lunch ($11.95) included pork fried rice, egg drop soup and choice of crab rangoon or egg roll. The soup was served just a couple of minutes after I ordered at the table, and the entree was served just eight minutes after I ordered - nice! The sign outside says "fine Chinese cuisine" and I agree. Everything was first rate, and the portions were generous. I liked the tasty sea bass, the light and flavorful sauce, the good variety of perfectly cooked veggies and the delicious fried rice. The egg roll was one of the best I have ever tasted and was also nicely sized. The recently remodeled dining area had a few TVs, relaxing instrumental music and a bar featuring signature drinks. Excellent!

Good service, decent food. The pork dumplings had gristle in them so I wasn't able to stomach finishing them. The place is small and noisy, parking lot the same, it's worth a visit though if you're in the area and need your fix! Those egg rolls are awesome!
