text: This was our first trip here and our initial impression was favorable. The location is not great as it is in North Scottsdale and is therefore a long way from downtown Phoenix or even downtown Scottsdale. We made reservations for 6:30 p.m. on  Friday night and so they had a booth ready for us when we arrived a few minutes early. The waiter (Tomas) was very attentive and polite and had water then drinks on the table very quickly. Because we checked in as Yelpers we were given a special coupon (on our phone) for a free appetizer (the lettuce wraps-yum). After we had finished our appetizer, the waiter asked if he could see our coupon again so he could show it to his manager. As we had already clicked \"Use it Now\" we could not show it to him so he borrowed our phone and showed the manager that we really did have a Yelp account and so we were given the special deal (did the manager not know about the coupon?). For our main course we had the Bamboo Beijing Duck and the Pad Thai Rice Noodles. Both were very tasty, but not the tastiest (4 star). I think that the dipping sauce for both the lettuce wraps and the duck came straight out of a bottle and was not a prepared sauce. If the Bamboo Club wants to compete with P.F. Chang's then it may want to upgrade its dipping sauce presentation. Overall a very pleasant dining experience, however, if you are staying in Phoenix, it is at least a 30-minute drive to get here so plan your time accordingly.
