We tried Bamboo Garden for the first time last week at the recommendation of a friend. The orange and General Tso chicken has a good taste, but the pieces had a lot of really crispy, thick batter over them. Most of the meat was not breast meat either. I was really disappointed with the large size shrimp fried rice. It was yellow in color, had some onions and about a dozen smaller sized shrimp. There were no carrots or peas or egg pieces to indicate it was fried. Some of the posted pictures showed veges in the rice so I’m not sure what happened with my order.

I rarely write scathing reviews, but this place was absolutely terrible. I’ve lived here my whole life and this was the first time trying any Bamboo location as I love me some cheap American Chinese food, but everything went into the trash. I’m pretty sure I will have mild food poisoning tomorrow from the small bit I ate. Some details:

Wonton soup:
- wontons were okay enough I guess, but the broth literally tasted like salted pool water… I’m talking like chlorine mixed with salt… just awful

Fried pork gyoza
- quite literally the only semi-decent tasting item but pretty bland on their own without the dipping sauce

Chicken teriyaki
- Maybe I’m a dumdum, but I’ve literally never gotten chicken teriyaki ANYWHERE in my life where the chicken is battered and deep fried like it is in General Tso’s or sesame chicken or whatever. It has ALWAYS been grilled in some way. This was oily, WAY over-battered fried nonsense. Like 50% chicken to 50% oily fried batter. And almost no teriyaki sauce. I actually had to put my own on it, mixed with soy sauce, yet somehow, despite a lack of teriyaki sauce from the restaurant, the food was too sweet initially (hence adding the soy sauce). I don’t even know how that’s possible. I ate a quarter of it and stopped. Gross

Beef lo-mein:
- I tried this last. Thought maybe it would be the saving grace. I opened the container and was IMMEDIATELY met with foul smells. Like, omg no. I stepped back, waited a second, then smelled it again. Horrid. I thought maybe I was just going crazy, so I tried a spoonful. 3 seconds into chewing it I spit it out. Clearly the beef was rancid as hell. Like. Send you to the hospital rancid. Absolutely abhorrent. I spit everything out as much as I could and literally rinsed my mouth under a running faucet. I am now legit concerned for my health tomorrow after eating 2 of the wontons in the soup, 3 of the gyoza, and about a third or so of the teriyaki chicken.

I am very much not a “one and done” person with restaurants bc everyone has on and off nights. But this place? NEVER again. Oh my god. $40 down the drain (or rather, into the trash, and hopefully not explosively into the toilet tomorrow…)

This is my Go-to Chinese food restaurant. I order through Door Dash delivery and have yet to be disappointed. I love their Pepper Steak with peppers and onions. The steak is nice and tender. The shrimp Lo Mein is favorful.

Food is good. Prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Looking for an affordable tasty dinner for yourself or your family. Bamboo Garden is a good choice.

Terrible. Worst I've ever had. I deserve a refund. Reheating a piece of stouffers lasagna now and feeding this to the dogs(if they'll eat it)

close the restaurant down.

Always a great experience, some of the best Chinese food in Charleston!

Good chinese food is hard to come by in this area. This place is the best I’ve had here. The service could be a bit better. Overall, I’d recommend this place.
