Very 1980s. $10.00 minimum purchase to use a card. This place is near my Grad school and I like their chicken chow mein tho I live near many Chinese restaurants. I probably have been coming here at least once a month Sometimes more for years. I usually get the same order to go which costs around $12.00. Today I decided to eat in and try something from the lunch special menu. Sweet and sour chicken. It was so much batter and the chicken inside was tiny, it had no flavor really, but it wasn't terriblE so I ate it and went to pay and leave and handed my card and the dude that helps me all the time said "you don't have cash" then I remembered that awkward policy and said no sorry I forgot. The guy just stared at me, like I was going to magically come up with $8.70 cash. So I said, I come here all the time can't you wave it. His response looking me dead in the eye was "its the bank" I said no it's not, banks don't care how much you charge. He lied. If you are going to do business you have to absorb some of the costs to get money from Customers, including credit card fees. Just the nature of doing business. I gave him a $2.30 tip to make the bill exactly $10.00, yes I'm that petty. You lost a regular customer. read more

Bamboo Garden - Today I had a very great experience at Bamboo Garden in Alhambra California.Great food. - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Checking out some inexpensive options for Chinese food in the Alhambra/Monterey Park area and came upon Bamboo Garden's Yelp reviews...not many review so I think this place is a hidden gem. It's unassuming, located in the back of a strip mall behind a laundry mat. It's small-ish inside, maybe like 10 tables...we loved it. Very clean, staff was friendly and the food was amazing. The KungPao Chicken, Orange Beef, Shrimp with Snow Peas were yummy. So were the fried wontons. The egg rolls were just ok. We will return when we are in the area for simple good Chinese food! read more

Good food. I tried the broccoli beef, orange chicken, chicken chow mein, shrimp fried rice and everything was great. Only problem: THEY DO NOT CHARGE ACCORDING TO THE MENU PRICES. EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT $5 AND THEY NEVER TOLD US THAT. I ordered off a menu that said each plate was about $10 and was overcharged, it feels like. The server claims those prices are from years ago... if that's the case, get new menus or update prices on menus. Ruined my experience. read more

Seems family owned good food and they offer Postmates as well! I would definitely eat here again. Some might consider this a "hole in the wall" type of place but it's way better than a type of Panda Express establishment! Customer service was ok but The food was what made it! read more

Amazing, best family Chinese food restaurant in Alhambra. Definitely recommend all portions are family style.

The food is always consistent. the family is so nice and helpful and oh did I mention the food is delicious. my go to stop for the best sizzling rice soup. read more

Not good bad service and the food super expensive not worth it not worth the time or the effort

I had a family gathering and I needed 8 meals. I placed the order on Friday for a Saturday delivery. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. You can not go wrong with anything! Great service and the delivery was at the exact time that I asked. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! This is sooooo good! And good portions! This place has all my favorites and they make it so much better than any other place, they have their own style and flavors that fit to my taste that I cant find elsewhere. I'm almost scared to post this cause I dont want this place to get so crowded that I'll be last in line! Some of my favorites: Mapo tofu, orange chicken, kung Pao chicken, sauteed spinach, fish fillet in black bean sauce, Honey walnut shrimp, fried egg w shrimp, and i'm still planning to try more good looking things from there on their menu too. I also heard that their Mongolian beef is good too but I havent tried it yet. I'm also curious to try their sweet and sour pork. I cant find any other place that makes my Chinese food the way they do, I like the flavor and style of cooking that they do with their foods. Now this is like the only Chinese restaurant that I almost always go to, and having lived in Monterey park before, thats out of alot of Asian food options. I never get tired of this place. Heavennnnnn read more

I moved to East LA a year and a half ago and have been looking for a staple Chinese restaurant...this is it. The food is very tasty and really well priced. And the owner is fantastic! Will be ordering again. read more

My family has lived in Alhambra since 1990 and we've been going here since I can remember as a kid. Generous portions, friendly service, and delicious food. 10/10 recommend read more

Terrible place, bad service. Food is disgusting... I used to loved this place.. never going back again

I ordered food to go for our BBQ get together potluck. I wanted something really hot and spicy so I ordered kung pao chicken, spicy chicken and steamed rice. After I placed my order and paid it was ready to go within 5 minutes, wow that was fast. My friends loved the food but it wasn't as hot as I requested it to be. read more

My family and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember and their food is still as good as I remember it

Service was okay , I didn't feel too welcomed here . It was a little bit strange . Food wise we ordered the Kung pao chicken and orange chicken lunch special. The orange chicken was good , Kung pao was so so . The fried rice we got was cold so that was unpleasant. Maybe I'll just order something else if I do decide to come back . read more

I came here for the very first time for lunch expecting a regular Chinese food style eatery where you would pick out the food and have some type of combination plate however that wasn't the case but I decided to try it anyways. For lunch I had a meat chow mien plate with some kung pao chicken. It was pretty decent. They were able to serve me really well and really fast things that I didn't like about this particular restaurant is that the prices per plate can be a little bit high for the amount of food that you get. Also, there is a $10 minimum for a card transaction. Buying the two cheapest things on the menu almost set me at $20. Good food just nothing really special. read more

Great food ! Friendly service from employees! Will definitely keep coming back for more !!

Best wonton soup ever. Literally everything is delicious. All employees have great customer service too. Thank you for always serving great food. read more

Worst customer service The food was really cold and greasy The chicken was chewy and disgusting!!! Never coming here again read more

You never know with little strip mall restaurants but this one is a winner. The veggies are fresh and not over cooked, the sauces are well balanced, and the portions are quite large. We order 3 dishes and an appetizer for 3 people and we always have delicious left overs. Ordering on the phone is a little challenge sometimes but is very worth it. They are very friendly, we're happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Delicious beef chow fun! The owner was so nice as well. Small fastt food restaurant. Everything I ordered to go was freshly made and authentic. The veggies I ordered was also very yummy and fresh. It's a nice place to go when I don't have time to cook at home, I'll pick up from here and my kids love it. read more

This place makes unremarkable Chinese food and offers confusing service. The food was greasy, soup came out cold, and it was hard to tell if anything was fresh or just came from a day-old batch. I definitely feel misled by other Yelp reviews, but i can see this being a go-to for the local crowd that may find it intimidating to venture into the more authentic spots. But for a restaurant at the edge of Chinese food Mecca, you absolutely have better options for better prices. read more

Good mom and pop Chinese restaurant. Nothing fancy here just good food that does not seem mass produced by Sysco and reheated like most Chinese restaurants. read more

The best Chinese Food place to go in LA located in Alhambra ca Valley Blvd and Fremont

I can't believe I haven't posted a review for this little hidden gem. This place has been delivering food to us for years!! Way before Grubhub and Doordash etc. Their food is yummy, service is fast and friendly and their menu has plenty of selections. The restaurant is a bit hidden in a shopping center at Fremont and Valley with lots of free parking (not usual in Alhambra). So go check them out! Tell them the lady with the new front door sent you. (My nickname from them) :)) read more

The food here is so good! Also the service is really nice because they are always filled up my water. I will definitely come back again.

To give it a try, I stopped by to get 2 dinner items to go. The place was empty at 6:30pm. The host was very friendly during order taking. Items on the entire menu were all ordinary Chinese dishes. Nothing indicates particular regional flavors. I became very indecisive so the host said why not just get something from the dinner special section. What I ordered: Fish fillet sautéed with green and white onion Pork sautéed with black bean sauce Each came with egg roll and corn/egg soup Total bill was about $20. The taste was very average over all. This place will do okay with non-Chinese customers. With all the competition around town, they will need to spice things up a bit. read more

Orange chicken (extra spicy) lunch special. Decent sauce, fried rice is a bit plain, batters a lil' soggy but thats alright, I'm almost positive my fortune cookie expired sometime around 1890, but the soup is alright. However, it WAS cheap. Can't really complain about that. so yeah,... "meh" it is. read more

Sometimes you're too tired to cook, so you go out. Sometimes you order take-out so you can eat at home without cooking. Sometimes you look like crap and you don't want to get off the car because you have no shoes or bra on, so you hit the drive through. Then there are times you've lost the will to drive or even leave your home and you just want someone to bring food to your door. You're just one step away from asking someone to shovel food into your fat face for you so you don't have to move at all. That's when you call Bamboo Garden and have them deliver. (Or when your car is in the shop and you can't get anywhere.) I found Bamboo Garden on Yelp and gave them a call without having a menu. I didn't know what to order but the guy on the phone was helpful and together we figured it out. I got some simple Chinese food delivered for me and the Mr. It didn't cost a lot and the driver was at my door in a jiffy. The food is clean, fresh, simple...not greasy, not laden with MSG. Just old school Chinese delivery with some packets of soy sauce and fortune cookies. Now I have the menu posted to the fridge, just in case. The best part, I didn't even have to put on shoes the entire night. read more

I swore off Chinese food about 8 years ago. Between then and now I may have visited Chinese joints no more than a half dozen times. I did go through a dim sum faze a few years ago but that's different. I prefer Thai or Vietnamese but Chinese was on the S list. Just never was my thing. Oak Tree Inn in South Pasadena started to change my mind and this place put me over. Since I do not frequent Chinese food, as clearly stated above, I did not know what to order. I phoned in a delivery order based on yelpers and got the guy on the phone to walk me through the menu. He suggested a few dishes and I was set. The food was quickly at my house. Fresh hot and so tasty. Phone guy suggested the beef chow fun. Man that was good. Seriously tasty on its own but I spiced it up with rooster sauce. Top 3 favorite Chinese dishes for sure (mayonnaise shrimp and bbq spare ribs round out the top 3). The kung pau chicken was freaking good too. No need to spice that one any more. Tasty, tender, crispy veggies stir fried with it. Yuuum. Kids loved the chicken chow mein. Ate it up like nobody's business. Make sure you ask for no sprouts if you are on the fence with sprouts, I had to pick some out... A bit too generous with those guys. Pros: service, speedy quick delivery, food was seriously great. Fresh, no msg, phone guy's patience. Cons: too easy to order, may become habit forming! Minor ding for Sprouty chow mein but that's just preference. Take advantage if you live near by or stop if you drive by. Last thing, 3 full dishes were 26 bucks...can't beat that with a stick especially considering it was dinner for 4 + lunch for 2 a day later. read more

Their food is delicious! Bought their friend rice, Orange chicken, eggplant, and egg Foo young. All of it was great! It doesn't have that feeling like they use older oil or too much of it. Will definitely be ordering pick ups from this place regularly. read more

This is a great place to eat. I had their kung pao shrimp, egg flower soup, Singapore noodles, everything is made fresh to order. Prices are reasonable and proportions are generous. We always have leftovers. Very friendly, as a Spanish speaker it's always great to hear the chef come out and say "hola amigo." Love this place. Let's keep it open guys amidst this pandemic, order local and order as often as you can. read more

When I walked in, I was surprised to immediately see a large TV on top of a table and one of the employees/owners? sitting at a table watching it. She greeted me when I came in, and I told her that I wanted to get to-go. As I stood looking at the menu, I couldn't help but notice the dining area was empty. However, during my brief time in the restaurant, several people came in and out to pick up food, so I'm guessing the majority of the business isn't from dining in. I ordered a dinner special. $8.95 for an entree, rice, fried shrimp, soup, and an egg roll. The dinner special was a good deal, and I liked everything but the fried shrimp which was too bready. I also ordered dumplings 6 for $6.95. Although I thought they tasted fine, for the price they could have been better. Overall, this place has good food at moderate prices, and they accept credit cards so that is a plus for the area of town. If this restaurant was outside of the San Gabriel Valley, I may have given it another star, but for the area, there is tastier Chinese out there at lower prices. read more

Kenny is a great guy and the food here is delicious! I would come here once a week but it"s a little far from home! Two people can have a feast for around 25.00 not including tip of course! read more
