    Shrimp samba really taste if you like shrimp paste flavor

    First time try this place after saw a post on Facebook for Malaysia good , like the flavor, great staff

    Outside patio, large space for gatherings...in the cooler months!

    Chef Vincent from Las Vegas brings authentic Malaysian spices and flavors to the west valley! Thank goodness I don't have to drive to LV, or fly to SF or LA to get Malaysian food anymore! Must get the roti canai, tender chicken full or aromatics and creamy coconut flavor to dip their 2 flaky roti!! Any Malaysian or Singaporean will know if you see sambal, it's a must order! If you know someone who doesn't like vegetables, order their eggplant and green beans!! Asian style vegetables are the only way to go and the most flavorful way is to have it Malaysian style! There is also a big outdoor space to use during the cooler months.

    Tasty Chinese food, with both authentic and Westernized dishes and several vegan/vegetarian options. We were seated by the owner and I confirmed with him that they do not use fish sauce, oyster sauce, or animal based broths in their vegetarian dishes, so they should all be completely vegan. I had the sizzling tofu which was extremely delicious, and a favorite even for my omnivore parents. The inside is very welcoming and clean, and the bathroom is surprisingly spacious and also very clean. They have a tv where they play Chinese movies and television with no sound which I found pretty entertaining. The owner was very friendly and talkative.

    Sizzling Tofu

    Bamboo Cafe is under new management. When we went to eat there the week before last, we found out they've added four new dishes to the menu. The first picture is our old favorite, the sizzling tofu, and the second and third pictures are from the new dish menu. All taste delicous!

    Mongolian Beef

    We haven't been here in a few years. I remember thinking I really liked it last time I was there. The only good thing was the speedy delivery. We ordered cashew chicken, Mongolian beef, and potstickers. There was absolutely no sauce or flavor on the chicken. The Mongolian beef was nearly all onions. The chicken was also filled with onions and barely veggies or cashews. The potstickers were ok. I don't think we will try this place again.

    Nine out of 10 times your delivery order will arrive like this with the sauce spilling out. The restaurant should use better containers

    Probably the best in Peoria as we have tried most. The delivery person was really nice and prompt as well.

    Golden Dragon is a small very casual take out type Chinese Restaurant located in Glendale. It is…read moreextra casual here. You order, pay at the counter and grab your beverage from the refrigerator. Your meal is packed in styrofoam so you either take out or eat in at one of the few tables inside. Parking is very easy because they are at the end of a strip mall in a big parking lot. Our food was very fresh. Portions were very large. The chicken in our dishes was masterfully moist and very tender. The food is a very good value if you like it. We ordered the yui shan chicken and the garlic chicken combos (only around $1. more to get soup, crab puff, egg roll and an upgrade from white rice to fried rice.) Based on only trying two dishes my conclusion is that they serve Arizona Style American Chinese Food. It is far less complex, less flavorful, and much less spicy than east coast American take out Chinese Food. It's not bad food in anyway so if you are from Arizona it is very good food. We started eating at the restaurant but I got the idea that I could take the food home and improve it for my taste. The food stayed piping hot and it did taste much better with just a spoonful of chili crisp added more flavors and some needed heat. The people working there seemed very nice and the restaurant looked sparkling clean. 3 stars is a positive review and means A-OK on Yelp. Give this place a try if you are good with Arizona Style Take Out Chinese Food.

I visited early in the afternoon - after the lunch rush - but still during the lunch hours. First, the greeting was very unfriendly. The server was distracted conversing with another server and paying little attention to our order. Absolutely zero friendliness. I felt I was an intruder! I ordered a Diet Coke. It was horrible. Obviously, the syrup was low so I had basically unflavored carbonated water. I had the lunch special for General Zso chicken. Zero taste. The egg roll was uninspiring. The egg drop soup was mediocre- at best. And, the entire restaurant was freezing. It was 110+ degrees outside. So, a cool place is welcomed. And I like the temperature cool - like, my home thermostats are set between 70 and 72 in the summer. But, the temperature in the restaurant was much, much colder. Simply, unpleasant experience. I left without eating my lunch. I had a taste of the Diet Coke, a bite of the chicken, a bite of the egg roll - and nothing else. This place made my list! (Of do not return)... and, I am on a continued search for a good Asian restaurant in the Phoenix area.

It came with some eggrolls because I didn't want the soup and it was really good flavor. Everything was perfect. The service was great. The only flaw there was one thing that went wrong, but I'm not even tripping. I ordered a Kung pow beef and I received the Kung pow shrimp. It's OK. It was so delicious, but I'm gonna have to come back and try that beef. I walked out feeling very satisfied. My stomach felt good. It felt like good ingredients and I only paid $14 and some change and I even got a Diet Coke. Definitely gonna come back for the lunch special because I love the spice. The flavor was really on point. One thing about me is that I love spice I go to specific spots just to eat the spice. Thanks you ; I am slowly disappointed that I didn't receive what I wanted, but it's all good. I wasn't going to say anything just cause like I didn't want the food to go to waste. I don't know who made the mistake but it's all good. I just wanted to point that out.

I spent over $50 on food, and the quality was extremely disappointing. The General Tso's chicken was basically nothing but breaded chicken pieces -- no vegetables and barely any sauce. The Orange Chicken was also dry and lacked sauce, making both dishes bland and unappetizing. To make matters worse, each entrée is supposed to come with rice, yet only a very small portion was provided. At this point, it feels like this restaurant is cutting corners and poorly managed. I'm generally not someone who leaves negative reviews, but the lack of care, consistency, and food quality is impossible to ignore. This was my last time giving this establishment my hard-earned money. I'd rather spend it somewhere that values its customers and takes pride in the food they serve.

If you need to hold a conversation with someone, the music isn't too loud preventing that. Music was a mix, they did have "Golden" in the mix and ngl, I had to force myself not to sing along. They have lunch specials, even on Sundays. It's a great way to try a lot of options for cheaper. The lunch menu comes with a generous size entree, 2 scoops of fried rice, egg drop soup, a veggie spring roll and a fried cream cheese wonton. I got a few items, and we had so much food it's still in the fridge. Walnut shrimp was crispy, sauce wasn't overly sweet, nice crunch from the candied walnuts. You get a good portion. The shrimp was not overcooked. Yum. 8/10 Shrimp with lobster sauce, it was a little salty for me but had a nice mix of veggies, and the sauce didn't have too much cornstarch, so it wasn't gelatinous like at some places. Nice flavors though. Nothing overpowering. 6/10 Beef Chow Fun -not on the lunch menu but I literally get it at every Chinese place that has it. The rice noodles were not overcooked, beef was seasoned well and tender, not chewy. 10/10 would get that again. Hot and sour soup was pretty good. I could stand for it to have more "sour" to it. The flavors were a bit mellow for me. I like a more aggressively flavored hot and sour soup. Not bad though. 6.5/10 Mongolian beef. Nice tender beef, well cooked and seasoned. Good beef to onion ratio. 8/10. Chicken with mushrooms-saucy, full of veggies with a mild brown sauce. They had zucchini in it, and I love zucchini and mushrooms together. There was a lot of chicken, and it was seasoned well, not too salty. Definitely tasty. 8/10. Would I be back? Probably. I'm glad I found this spot. I've driven by it plenty, it's one you don't want to miss though!
