    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!

    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

    Kawaii was closed and we decided to try this place. We were very disappointed in the quality of the 7 different things we ordered.

    The beef was fatty and gross. Vegetables and hot and sour soup were okay. Service was awful. I will not be returning.

    Food is good. My second choice for Chinese food in the area. Not much ambiance but I normally do takeout anyway.

    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.
