BambuchiSan

Gone but not forever.... As promised, our BYO wine nights are BACK - available on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every month, starting TOMORROW Nov 6th!

Bring along your own bottle of something delightful and enjoy it with our tasty food 🤤

The deets: BYO is just for wine (sorry beer lovers), and corkage is $12 per 750ml bottle. Booking is recommended, but we often have space to accommodate walk-ins too! You can enjoy your BYO wine in any part of Bam - lounge, patio, or dining, but anyone doing BYO has to be visiting us to eat as well, and a min spend of $35pp on food is required.

So off you go to collect your fave wine, and we'll be seeing you tomorrow night 😉

Our fried chicken has had a little makeover 💃

It's still as crunchy as ever, and now with lashings of a sticky smokey BBQ sauce, with pickle mayo and sesame 😋

Fried chicken Friday.... Or every day!

Do you know what's really challenging to photograph? Our asparagus Caesar 😂 and while the photo doesn't really do it justice, these crunchy little morsels are a cheesy flavour bomb 💥

Asparagus, cos, radish, croutons, Caesar dressing, and a healthy topping of grated aged cheddar. 'tis the season... Asparagus season!

We're making a few lil menu changes this week as summer draws closer (even if this weekend missed that memo...) so come by and try some new tasty treats! We're back at it from 5pm Tuesday - see you then!

Pulled pork tostadas! With our herby chunky chimichurri, and zippy pineapple salsa 😍

Our menu may be short and sweet, but it changes regularly to keep it fun! We've got a couple of tasty spring specials on the blackboard this week too - asparagus Caesar, anyone? 🤤

Open 5pm til 10pm Tues - Sat - see you soon!

"...but what does BambuchiSan mean?" - if you're new here, meet Smuchi, the namesake of Bam.

This big sweetheart, Smuchi Bambuchi, husky x lab, came with Lindsay from Canada over 13 years ago! He was a true gentleman, well known in the Hataitai Village, and no other dog is more deserving of a cool lil spot to be named after them ❤️

Smuchi left us 🌈 at the start of 2020, but his legacy lives on in BambuchiSan. Our logo is based off this handsome pic of him, designed by the cool folks at and adorning our swish new team t-shirts. He's also a big reason why we are so dog friendly ❤️🐕 Smuchi - you legend!

Summer is just around the corner 😍 and to celebrate the start of those long lazy evenings, from today we'll be staying open every night til 10pm. Late night bite? One more for the road? We'll be here, guaranteed 😘

😮 Thirsty Thursday? We're closed tomorrow for a private party, so you better cruise down and get your Friday fix tonight!!

🍸 This is our Cappelletti coconut sour, with gin, Cappelletti (like Campari but less bitter), coconut, and lemon - criminally easy to drink 😉

Happy Tuesday 🥳 we've got a whole new delicious wine list rolling out this week! Featuring some of our faves from small & kiwi producers like and many more!

As the couriers deliver 📦 we will add to the list!

Ps. We're CLOSED for a private party this Friday September 27th, but open as normal for the rest of the week 😊

Guess what's back.

Check out this blast from the past, featuring on our spring menu 😋 truffle mushrooms, pine nuts, pickled onions & fennel crackers. The perfect little snack!

Braised beef cheek tostadas 🤤 one of the new faves on our menu! Served with avocado cream and chimichurri, these tasty morsels are excellent for sharing.... Or not sharing at all and eating the whole plate to yourself mwahaha!

Come and check out what else we're serving up! Pop in for a snack and just try one thing, or hunker down and try it all 😉

'appy hour! Every day between 5pm - 7pm you'll get a complimentary 'appy-tiser' with your first round of drinks! Who doesn't love a free snack!

📸 Saturday's appy snack of skewered portobellos, sesame dressing and crunchy shallots 😋 the appy offering will change daily, and we'll be sure to check your dietaries so there'll be no accidental meat/dairy 😉

T&C's apply!
