Profile

At the vegan and vegetarian Red Bamboo Brooklyn, pseudo-meat comes in endless variations, often topped by a sauce that's frankly overly sweet. Despite that, the restaurant has snagged a primarily dreadlocked clientele with a hankering for the citrus “beef” with asparagus. Bamboo accents around the bar and on the ceiling of the first floor lend a Southeast Asian feel, while the upstairs dining room, with glittery glass-ball chandeliers and gorgeous wood details, is so lovely you may not quibble about the food. In fact, why not go for a cocktail? The Sorrel Mojito is a winning blend of homemade sorrel syrup, fresh mint, limes, and rum. — Raquel Pelzel

I love this place and go at least once a week, even if the food is not the most sophisticated I've ever had and the menu doesn't seem to change often. It's a great hangout and the bartender, Nigel, and wait staff are funny and very friendly. It's particularly convenient that they continue serving food until 2 am. And Nigel is great - tell him what you're in the mood for and he'll make something special for you. He even made me a brand new drink when I didn't like the first one he'd made - at no extra charge. My favorite item on the menu is probably the mango chicken salad - and the peanut-butter bomb cake is also AMAZING. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
