Score
Public records show nine inspections at Bamboo stretching back to 2022. On Oct 30, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 13 violations per visit versus roughly eight violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, which has been cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Ocoee restaurant, which scores around 76. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
