Chao Bamboo has a site.

I think the best way to describe Chao Bamboo is as a cheap Chinese restaurant, dressed up to look and taste ALMOST like a South-East Asian restaurant.
In this it's very successful, and indeed if you don't expect their Nasi Goreng to taste like real Nasi Goreng you will probably like it.
I sure do, also because the atmosphere is right. Kind of dirty, improvised and somehow sexy in a very un-Japanese way, Chao! Bamboo indeed FEELS like a South-East Asian Yatai Restaurant.
Food is cheap and tasty, although usually not quite what the name would suggest.
On the menu there's Tom Yam, Nasi Goreng, fried springrolls, you name it, and each dish has a personal twist.
Like all food here, bentos are very reasonably priced (650 yen for the above mentioned Nasi Goreng).

Directions :
Take the small road which goes from Cafe de Rope (near Kiddyland) on Omotesando-dori to Oh God. There's an orange sign on the left on the corner before Oh God: on the 2F there's Thai restaurant Kaffir Lime, and Chao Bamboo is right below. One minute walk from Omotesando-dori.

Comments and directions by Michel Bouchet
About five minutes from Meiji Jingumae station. Cross Meiji Avenue and walk towards Omotesando station: it is on a small side street on the right. This is a cheap and good place, often crowded on Sunday evenings. You usually have to wait a bit. This is almost an open air restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it though if you're looking for a comfortable seat and a nice table. You can eat there for about two thousand yen, including drinks.
