Review highlights

Based on 598 reviews

Bamboo Garden is recognized for its consistent delivery of quality Chinese cuisine, with particular praise for dishes like cashew chicken, shrimp fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken made from whole white chicken breast. Reviewers commonly highlight the restaurant's reasonable pricing coupled with generous portions, making it an appealing option for value-conscious diners. Patrons note the attentive preparation of meals, although some have observed variability in service format, such as the temporary closure of the buffet and the emphasis on dine-in experiences. The establishment operates under new management, which has been positively received for improving food quality and overall dining experience. Additionally, the availability of a drive-thru adds convenience. While the pace of meal preparation may require some patience, Bamboo Garden generally maintains a welcoming atmosphere with a focus on freshly prepared dishes rather than fast food service.

This restaurant took me a bit by surprise. Although it says on the sign it is a buffet one of the first things you learn as you get to the door is they are not serving a buffet. Or at least they were not serving a buffet the day we were there. They also mentioned on their signage that they were not a fast food restaurant and it would take some time for a meal to be prepared. In our case that was not a bad thing as we were not in a particular hurry. The menu is fairly simple that offers a fair selection. I had the general chicken which was completely unlike any other general Chicken I've had any other place. It was delicious! There was a bit of a fruit taste to the sauce which was fantastic. Can't say enough good things about the crab rangoon for the spring rolls either. Serving sizes were quite generous and we did not miss having a buffet. The service and staff were excellent. Unlike a lot of Chinese restaurants this one was not overly decorated. It was fairly plain and very clean.

Visited for the first time. Unfortunately the buffet was closed but dine in was open. I got the cashew chicken and some hot and sour soup which were both excellent.

New management, a hell of a good surprise from food. Sweet/sour chicken was real whole white chicken breast, some of the best I've had. Prices very low for how high quality and quantity you pay for, recommended! DRIVE THRU ALSO

Update: Delicious Sweet & Sour Chicken, Sesame Chicken, & General Chicken with Crab Rangoons. Great Service this time! Clean Restaurant Inside and Outside. Great Lunch Specials! Very Much Improved! *Nothing bad, but nothing great. Service was lacking and waitress was absent for any refills, napkins, etc. Only came out from the back to seat you & take your payment at the end. It was impossible to get her attention. Now, they've SHUT DOWN the BUFFET, so Absolutely No Reason To Go & Eat there! Need to reopen the buffet or take down the sign. Appreciate the owner's comments & maybe it was an off day! Will try again sometime. At least, the inside is still open. Update: Went there, again, and the drive thru was Closed 15 minutes before 9 PM. IF you stay Open until 9 PM, then you should be OPEN or change the hours! Chen's is OPEN until 9 PM & they have a BUFFET that's Falsely advertised at Bamboo Garden!

Stopped in for lunch while traveling. The food was delicious (tried the recommended cashew chicken!) & portions were generous. The staff was friendly & attentive. Our whole family left full & happy. We’ll definitely stop again whenever we’re in the area!
