Bamboo Garden Chinese Take Away

This was the first time I had been at this restaurant. I ordered take out while on my lunch. I had the House Fried Rice and 2 eggrolls. I normally do not leave bad reviews, however today the food was so bad, I just couldn't not. The only thing that I was sure I was eating in the rice was the rice, carrots and shrimp. It barely had any flavor, but it did smell good. However, when bit into what I thought was pork, it was a fatty piece of something and after doing this a couple times, I spit it out. It was also supposed to have chicken in it, but what I saw was a white piece of something, and then some white strips of something that I wasn't sure what it was, so I didn't even attempt eating it. I choked down about 1/8 of the rice, ate the shrimp and threw everything else away. Shrimp is shrimp, you can't screw that up. The egg rolls were so bland, not even sweet and sour would have livened them up. I'm sad to say, this was probably the worst Chinese food I have ever had.

Horrible experience. Be careful they will up charge for everything without telling you. They do no communicate well and want to make excuses and literally make up charges not on their menu.

The BEST Chinese I've ever had and I'm not over exaggerating. I order the Pork Lo Mein every time and so should you. The sauce is amazing.

My fiance gets it now after trying it one time even though I was getting it every single time we went in.

We go out of our way to get the food here and we always give tips because they're such nice people here.

Update:
The quality has been consistently going downhill. Before it started being hit or miss, but it has been way too many misses now. My dumplings were hard and overcooked, the orange chicken tough and chewy, the wonton soup so greasy I spit it out... only good thing now is the crab rangoon.

Review from 3 years ago:
Took takeout 2 times. Food is so good. What I love most are the dumplings, super super good!! So tender and delicious and amazing with the dipping soy sauce. Rangoon's soooo good too. Use the red sauce for it. Love it.

I had the orange chicken and shrimp fried rice. It was good and the price wasn’t bad. Even though the name of the place says takeaway, they do have a few tables inside
