Wareham’s Golden Bamboo Closing Permanently This Weekend

Another SouthCoast restaurant is hanging it up.  This time in Wareham.  A message on the Golden Bamboo Facebook page said, "After careful deliberation, we have made the decision to discontinue Golden Bamboo's operations and close permanently after November 24, 2024."

Champ Suksanit is the owner of Golden Bamboo, a Cranberry Highway Asian Fusion restaurant not far from Barnacle Bills and Ella's.  He told Fun 107 that the reason he is closing is because it is too difficult to find people to work.  "We just can't find enough workers, so we had to downsize a bit."

Suksanit says that in addition to Golden Bamboo, the ownership group that operates the Wareham restaurant also operates two other restaurants:  Courtside 1 and Courtside 2 in Buzzards Bay and Wareham.

Suksanit sold Golden Bamboo to a friend of his from Boston who plans on shutting down the restaurant for roughly a month.  Interior renovations will be made before a new restaurant opens in the location.

The new restaurant has not yet been named, and they are still working out a final menu.  "It looks like they'll be serving a standard breakfast menu in the morning here as well as Asian food for lunch and dinner," said Suksanit.  "It's kind of unique.  It's a fusion concept.  They're working on a new, creative menu."

The chef is currently the head chef at Chickadee's in Boston.  "He's got a lot of friends and family," said Suksanit.  "So he won't struggle finding staffing the way we do."

The new owners are going to try to re-open as soon as they possibly can.  Golden Bamboo's final day will be this Sunday.
