Cuisine: Asian, European, Fusion
Price Point: Mains from $15 - $35
Leave all pre-conceived ideas about Asian fusion food at the door, Bamboozle Oriental Fusion Kitchen & Cocktail bar is stand alone in style and panache!
Featuring Christchurch’s only Japanese Robata Binchon-tan charcoal grill, Bamboozles menu is full of flavour and surprise. Traditional Chinese, Japanese and southeast Asian dishes have been ‘Bamboozlized’ to create an innovative, modern and hilariously unique cuisine style.
Try ‘Kouw Kum Nou’ smoked beef wontons or ‘Aunty and her angry cockerel’ Thai style sweet and sour chicken. Perhaps the Bamboozle Rendang voted NZ’s best in 2017.
Bamboozle signature dish Cocaine rice is so addictive it should be banned and Japanese style Poke, marinated fresh fish salads are so popular Bamboozle will be opening a dedicated Poke store in Christchurch later this year.
Fusion cocktails, craft beers and wonderful wine complete the package.

Nice location and being able to go to the city to eat. Had the banquet for four. Plenty of variety and heaps of food. Just when you thought you couldn’t eat anymore out came the desserts, all included 8n banquet price. Great value for money, heaps of flavour and highly recommend

We were lucky enough to dine in peace early in the evening before the busy rush!
The food was delicious, full of flavour and presented with care.
A must go if you’ve not been!!

Dined here as a group of 4 ladies (Xmas catch-up) on evening of 18/12/18 and all decided to choose the 'Banquet' - Wow this was spectacular, lovely food presentation and tastes, a bit of everything with a "Happy Ending". Service was excellent, we were not rushed and food was brought out with a break in between courses which was nice as we had lots to talk about (liked the little touch of wiping our table down after our main meal to). Thank you such a lovely evening and we will be back.

Excellent service and very tasty, generously-sized meals. This was not my first choice for the night via First Table, but so glad that option was already booked as we would have missed out on this find. Highly recommended, will definitely return.
Elaine Wilson - dined at Bamboozle on 14 November 2018
Crab cakes were amazing. Chicken Kuang Po was really good, just lacked Chicken loads of chillis and peanuts as the dish is supposed to be but not balanced by chicken. My dining companion had the Duck salad and Lamd ribs and loved the ribs and said salad was good.

Dianne Harker - dined at Bamboozle on 6 November 2018
We enjoyed lovely food with friends, recommend the Pot Stickers and now it’s Asparagus season we had a side of these that were char grilled- yum. Food came out quick and as we shared everything was a good variety and portion size. Went with the Red wine that was suggested and on promotion. Staff were attentive and friendly, didn’t need to ask for anything. Good times.

Bridie Cassidy - dined at Bamboozle on 27 August 2018
Great diashed, great variety on the menu, only reason we didn't give it a 5 for food was that we didn't like one of the dishes - the crystal mushrooms - but loved the other dishes and cocktails we had. Will be back for more :)

Bamboozle is so worth the wait as it is hard to find a day that is available, and as soon as one comes up, I grab it. The food is so good, every dish we tried was full of tasty flavours that don't disappoint.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Service was also good.Tried options of choice of food that I normally dont try, - ie the mushroom entree, - different and tasty., overall a very nice early evening out.
Aileen Davies - dined at Bamboozle on 7 July 2018
We Had a great early dinner! lots of interesting sounding items on the menu. We had beef&smoked cheese wontons, shrimp toast, salmon poke and penang curry. We also managed to squeeze in an old favorite, Bolli brulee. Perfect portion sizes, fantastic flavours. Happy and content after the meal, looking forward to going back for more!
Tim Connolly - dined at Bamboozle on 6 July 2018
Food is absolutely delicious! Only critique is the menu wasn’t explained to us so we didn’t get complete meals. Would recommend sharing dishes to try a variety. Great service.
Gina Coffey - dined at Bamboozle on 5 July 2018
The timing was perfect, 5.30pm seemed a bit early but we finished at exactly the right time to go to the theatre. We didn’t have to rush, we could choose plenty of different dishes. We loved the fusion of Asian and Pacifica. The service was perfect.
Antoinette Savill - dined at Bamboozle on 3 July 2018
In short, we just can't get enough of the poke!
Our order:
* Sea salmon and mild soy chilli poke
* Wasabi blue cod with cherry tomatoes and picked daikon
"Cocaine"
Teriyaki beef fillet
Lamb Fillet
* Rendang
Bolli Brulee
* "Must try"
*These would be what we enjoyed the most out of the 8 dishes that we have ordered.
The service and atmosphere were great. Descriptions for each dishes were clear and on-point.
An interesting twist to traditional dishes that I am familiar with, especially the Rendang that was encased in sesame puff pastry and tasted great. No wonder it was voted the best in NZ 2016 & 2017.
It was our first time having poke from Bamboozle and definitely won't be our last.
Both options were refreshing and delicious.
If I can finish another bowl, I would definitely order the sea salmon poke.
If you have not been to Bamboozle, give it a go with some friends - over good food and good banter.
Kelvin Kong - dined at Bamboozle on 16 June 2018
I enjoyed my time there with my friend. The staff was nice and services was excellent. For me, dishes aren’t authentic food was more sweet than spicy, when it supposed to be more spicy, but very creative. I still recommend to go and try. “Must Try” dessert was outstanding.
Yingni Yang - dined at Bamboozle on 15 June 2018
Fantastic Service and Atmosphere. Food was delicious (go for the beef and cheddar wontons)!
Rebecca Mao - dined at Bamboozle on 14 June 2018
