Won't let me rate 2 1/2 stars First place goes to garlic chicken Second is pepper beef Third is a tie between shrimp and bbq pork. The chow main is surprisingly really delicious not oily at all. The rice is so dry. My steamed rice you can tell was hitting the bottom of the pot. I will say the white rice taste better than the fried rice. I'm seriously confused as to why the reviews on here suggested I'd get the orange chicken because it is definitely not it and it tastes burnt, not overcooked but burnt. Another reason behind the low review is because I'd rather have a spork, spoon or fork rather than getting a dry cookie. They also charge for condiments which is baffling to me beacuse their rice needs some moisture and flavor which would be handled by the soy sauce. This was my first time trying this place and I'm not going back. The beef and broccoli is so chewy and the texture feels like it's coated with loads of flour. Broccoli is so hard and bland. The items I had to pay an dollar extra which were Shrimp and bbq came in a tiny container, I pay more but get less okay. I'll stick to Hummus Express . read more

The egg rolls are great. The rest of my food was good. I ordered two egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce and the were perfect. I also had the 3 entree combination with rice, chow mein, two servings of Kung Pau Chicken and an order of Garlic Chicken. The food was good, but not spicy as it was claimed to be. There was a big lack of spice and that was the main reason I ordered those options. Service was fast and good. There was little atmosphere at the place, however it was quite and clean. I do recommend this place, at least if you want great egg rolls and non spicy food. read more

Food was good! Similar to a Panda Express. Inside was very clean and after I ordered there was a huge line. Generous and large portions for the plate. I got the chow mein, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and spicy garlic chicken. Nothing was spicy besides eating the pepper from the kung Pao chicken. It was a great stop for a quick and yummy bite. The hot and sour soup was my favorite. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Orange chicken, butter shrimp with half n half - Chinese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

From the last time I went here it seem like there more seating. But I can't go wrong with this place for a quick bite to eat when you're not feeling the other fast food spot near you. The staff is very friendly and there always someone in line ordering something to go or to sit down. But this my spot for the butter shrimp it reminds me of that panda palace back in the day down Oak St. read more

I actually think this is the best Chinese food place in town. The wor wonton soup is the best in town so far, and I enjoy the taste of everything. The chow mein, fried rice, cream cheese wontons, orange chicken, beef and broccoli. Everyone has been super nice every time I've been here. Lots to choose from as well. While it is clean I do wish they would put some of the extra storage stuff in the back and not in the side. If they could also clean the cash register and area around it with all the post it's the place would look a lot better !! read more

Tried Bamboo cafe for the first time and got a 1 item combo. Although I liked the flavor of the orange chicken, the texture of the chicken was inconsistent. Some pieces were chewy and some though.

Rice and chow mein were nothing special but everything else was really good. Butter shrimp, Kung pao and mushroom and teriyaki chicken all great. read more

When you pull up their windows are covered with their advertising and you can't really see inside. Please don't let that stop you though, the smells that smack you in the face the moment you open the door is insane. They were putting out fresh food as we were walking in and it looked very appetizing. We went for my husband and I had no plans on getting anything, but the smells got me. The service was amazing and the restaurant was immaculate. I got the orange chicken, beef and broccoli and the mushroom chicken. The cuts of meat were huge and just covered in sauce, husband got black pepper beef, BBQ chicken, and the kung Pao chicken. He said it was delicious and enjoyed all of it. Now the chow mein noodles are thicker than I like but the flavor was nice. It was so much food that we will have dinner, lunch and dinner again for the next day. Best fast food Chinese food I've had recently. When we are in the area we will definitely go back. It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the food, next time for sure. read more

Been craving Chinese food, so ordered for delivery. My teriyaki chicken had no teriyaki sauce nor any sides of teriyaki. My potstickers had no color. My cravings were not satisfied. read more

Crap attitude from the Latino cashier. Roll eyes for no reason. Food is ok. A bit too much sugar & msg.

If you're looking for a spot with the friendliest customer service where you're treated like family, this is the place to go! They offer a huge selection of dishes, and everything is incredibly fresh. Plus, they pack your plate generously! I ordered the BBQ pork, shrimp with vegetables, and beef with green beans--each dish was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My husband got the BBQ pork, black pepper beef, and garlic chicken. We couldn't help but share bites from each other's plates because everything was so good! I'm already eyeing the wings for next time since they looked absolutely scrumptious. They even have soup to complete your meal! With savory, satisfying food, great prices, and large portions, you definitely won't regret stopping by. Best of all, if you can't make it in person, they're available on Uber Eats and DoorDash. Delicious food brought straight to your door--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend! read more

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Old Oil taste, Chow Mein tasted like fish and noodles were doughy! Every single piece of chicken in Kung Pao & Orange Chicken was wobbly, greasy, grissely and tendons! More celery and dried hot peppers in Kung Pao than chicken! Like a whole stalk of celery! Horrible...Horrible...Horrible food! I've never written a review on here before, but this experience warranted for an honest review to warn people! read more

THE MOST DISGUSTING PLACE I EVER EATEN. Food was POOR QUALITY, most likely weeks old. The service was not good as well, workers are unprofessional and rude. They do anything for a quick pay.

This is a convenient point n pick Chinese fast food restaurant with the usual choices of steamed rice, fried rice, and ir chow mein accompanied by orange chicken, mushroom chicken, buttered shrimp, beef broccoli and so on. We were rushed through our ordering process and I must say that usually when we visit a Chinese fast food they double up your servings of rice and chow mein to cut on the other food items but not here, they hardly offered any extra on the rice and chow mein and seemed to monitor how much meat to vegetable ratio they served you. As a foodie, I was disappointed by this experience and the restaurant. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Pick your foods - Chinese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Quick review. I have been craving chinese food for a few weeks now. While running some errands we found ourself near bamboo cafe. The service was great, employees were polite and the portions were huge. For less than 20$ my wife and I grabbed a meal , which is rare these days. Everything about the food unfortunately was off. The noodles were too salty, the green bean beef tasted like if it had been cooked in something that had also had fish sauce in it. The orange chicken and broccoli beef were nothing to rave about. Our quest for good Chinese food continues. read more

This place use to be top notch, but seems they changed the orange chicken tasted old like maybe reheated and greasy and soggy it was definitely not fresh at all,and the rice was so greasy instead of light and flakey I heard the place changed owners won't be going back, last time read more

Great food portions & full of flavor! Pricing is fair for all that is given! Staff is friendly as well

The food is good nice and fresh good portions and served hot the staff is very friendly & the place is clean the only thing wrong is that disgusting cheap chili sauce they give you it's awful what a shame I don't understand why they can't use the real stuff they sure charge enough for their food!! read more

It was terrible, No flavor and dry. And chicken had a weird smell. Yuck! It went straight to the trash can. Thumbs down!

My family loves the food and we've been going here for over 10 years (we mostly just pick up to go). However, it's not clean for dine in and the ambiance is not the best and the service is just basic. read more

Favorite Chinese in Bakersfield! Always kind & courteous! Always hot & you get so much for your money! They have great flavor!

Quick stop in for dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. They told me I could sample anything. Food bowls were full and hot. I ordered a two item dinner with rice and chow mein, butter shrimp and broccoli beef to go. Then, I got further down the line and added two egg rolls to my order. My order total was $10.22. Not a bad price at all because that box was full! Arrived home and tried a little of everything. Rice was typical, but good. Chow mein was tasty and seemed a bit spicy...maybe pepper. Broccoli beef was good. The beef was nice and thick and there was plenty of it and the broccoli. The butter shrimp was my favorite. Shrimp had a nice, crispy batter and a slightly sweet sauce. Really nice dish. The egg rolls were crispy and fresh. Delish! After I ate a little of everything, I still had enough food left over to fill two containers for future meals. read more

I can live off there noodles they never disappoint one of the best Chinese food I've eaten yet

Just ordered from Grubhub, wow I am impressed with the speed, price, and most of all the taste! What a nice treat, it was all so delicious!

They deserve four stars for price, friendly workers and owner who is cool! Instead of the scowl I get a China Bistro, this cafe is happy to see customers. Also there's no extra surcharges on beef or pork(Only Walnut Shrimp) so that's nice. The egg flower and hot and sour are good. Fried green beans were crispy and flavorful. I like China Bistro chow mein because the noodles are smaller and less starchy. read more
