Bamiyan is a popular Chinese fast food restaurant, known to serve mouth-watering dishes of traditional Chinese at very affordable prices. From savoury stir-fries and filling soups to refreshing drinks that accompany your meals, Bamiyan got you covered. It has quickly become the go-to place for foodies and casual diners alike, guaranteeing a fast, easy, and flavourful experience. With multiple locations, Bamiyan is easily accessible for those looking to indulge in Chinese flavours wherever they are. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Bamiyan a standout choice for food lovers. 

At Bamiyan, you’ll find a diverse menu of classic Chinese cuisine, although a lot of them are your typical Japanese-style Chinese cuisines, the food is delicious nevertheless . The restaurant offers traditional favourites such as Hui Guo Rou (twice cooked pork), Oyster Omelet, and a variety of stir-fried dishes that are sure to fill the belly. Each dish is prepared with authentic ingredients and traditional cooking methods so that with every single bite, the real taste of Chinese flavours is savoured. Stir-fries, in particular, are probably their strong points: bold flavours and perfectly cooked vegetables and meats. These dishes have been prepared fast so that you receive your meal quickly without compromising the quality. 

At Bamiyan, one of their unique features is the Soup Bar, where you can grab a rotation of different soup with your meal. The soup menu changes daily with fresh seasonal options to accompany a meal. My favourite is the light egg drop soup and the refreshing seaweed soup. The soup options are different every day but always made with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. The rotation nature of the soup bar keeps things interesting, so there is always something new to try.

For those who like to have a variety of drinks along with their meal, Bamiyan has an all-you-can-drink drink bar for 219 yen extra with your meal. This drink bar is not just for soft drinks though, you can start with soft drinks through to teas and coffee and right up to their Soup of the Day that joins your meal at the table. After you finish your meal, wash it down with a cup of matcha latte or a cup of americano. 

No Chinese meal is complete without a sweet treat to round off things, which Bamiyan doesn‘t fail to provide either. Their Chinese desserts are a delicious conclusion to complete your meal. The desserts available at this family restaurant range from the classic Chinese sweet dishes. So whether you prefer the soft and chewy sesame ball filled with sweet red bean paste or you indulge in smooth, refreshing Mango Pudding, you will enjoy it. Each pastry is balanced in sweetness to just the right degree, leaving you satisfied with your meal. The biggest compliment to any dessert as an Asian would say is “something that is not too sweet”. 

Bamiyan offers a little something different inside fast-food Chinese: plenty of options regarding meals, bars, rotational soups, and desserts; one could even go just for dessert and wouldn’t have to break your bank. With several branches, Bamiyan makes access to authentic Chinese food easy anywhere. If you want to experience Chinese cuisine on a tight budget, this place is highly recommended.
