This is the place!!! I order egg rolls everyday which you can tell are wrapped with care super tight crispy packed with veggies I travel the country looking for mom and pop places like this one sure it's Americanized but if you ask them and they have the ingredients to make it they probably would they seem super humble and do pack the orders out! They don't rush you to order they are patient with you me being a new person reading over the menu at the counter but I have gone for work lunch everyday the last week and havnt felt laggy afterwards like most fast food places do But honestly if your a traveler not wanting to go to an extravagant place but more like want to just pick up a quick bite in ur pjs this is the place read more

this has been my favorite takeout place for at least a decade. I grew up in the area and have since moved hours away and I often think about this place and how I haven't found anywhere comparable near me. Finally got to eat here again today after YEARS and it is still just as good. My favorite sesame chicken I've ever had. read more

Quick, Fast and delicious! And cheap! The Cashier was kind, not much of a talker but did her job! The environment was clean and organized! Definitely suited for take out or dine in, if needed. read more

Bamboo Garden - Chinese Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

Just moved here from San Diego where Asian food is alllll over...got fried rice, kung pao , general tsos...and it is not good. I'd rather drink sugar water with 5 day old bread than eat this again. I had fried breading, as did my wife. True kung pao is not breaded. Add to that the cost is outrageous for what you get. I spent 54 bucks through doordash (included fees and tip) and I could have gotten 3 streetwalkers for that, and they would have tasted better. Look at how much celery is in that picture. Move on to the general tsos and it is just fried breading and a soup of sauce. Fried rice with no egg?! Absolutely not authentic and full of sugar with no meat. Skip this and come to my house where I can make this same dish for cheaper and better. read more

We ordered a pick up order. We ordered one General Tso Chicken, one Chicken Lo Mein, one order of lo mein noodles and an order of crab rangoons. The chicken in the General Tso was so tough you couldn't even put a fork thru the chicken. The Chicken Lo Mein and very little, if any chicken (very, very small) pieces. The Lo Mein noodles were all stuck together. The Crab Rangoons were tough and chewy. I used to order from there at least once a week when I worked in the area and it was always sooo good. I won't be ordering or recommending this establishment to anyone! read more

This restaurant double charged my friend and I. We called back to let them know and they screamed at us over the phone. Also, I'm not picky with Chinese food by any means, but this was the worst Chinese food I have ever had as well. read more

Very quick! Gave me extra sauce and fried noodles which was nice. Ordered white rice and got chicken fried rice which I can't eat so The wonton soup broth is really salty but I'm glad I tried it, probably won't order it again. The shrimp lo mein is really filling and tastes great :) read more

Bamboo Garden is located in a college town and is exactly what you would expect. Dishes are Americanized to appeal to more customers and flavors are there. However, texture and quality of ingredients is lacking. While the vegetables are mostly fresh, the main entrees such as protein are frozen and deep fried. I ordered general tso's chicken on two different days to compare consistency. The dish is labeled as spicy however it was not the first time. I then asked to make it spicy and it was still the same as the first time. I also had the hot and sour soup which was lacking in flavor. 4/10 on the soup. Even though my rating was average I would still return and just take it home and add more spices to add flavor! read more

Idk what the bad reviews are on about, it's very standard American-style Chinese food. It was fast and hot and not overly greasy or sweet, everything tasted exactly like what you'd expect from a solid Chinese takeout spot. read more

Great prices. Wide selection. I'll be honest, the food was really quite tasty. Going down anyways. However my 2 star rating comes from the fact that it did not taste as good coming back up in the form of food poisoning. Which makes me really sad. Because I'd thought this was going too be my new favorite place for quick to-go food. Maybe I just got unlucky? Might give it another go someday. read more

This is not about the food . I used my credit card to pay for a large order, 3 weeks later my bank notified me that charges were being made first $200. then $250.00 final $1000. for cruises. Bamboo Garden was the first place and only place I used my new upgraded card. I am not the first to post about credit card problems after ordering here. read more

I am always mixed in opinion when asked or thinking about Bamboo Garden. For me, it is hit or miss on visits and takeout. Sometimes the food tastes great, hot, fresh, and filling. But other times, it seems like it was cold, or just flavorless. It really all depends in what you choose I think. First off, I rarely eat in the actual store, as it is very small, and not the most modern or appealing. The takeout is certainly the go to option, as I they are always busy with phone orders and pickups. After a long day of work or just not feeling like going to a restaurant or cooking, Bamboo Garden is usually a contender for pickup. They are fast, affordable, and nice. I suggest choosing from the chef's specials section, as those dishes tend to be more succulent and tasteful. Not that the regular menu is bad, but it is the more generic Americanised options you would imagine. The Hawaii 5-0 is much more fascinating and tasty than a regular fried rice chicken bowl. As for the fried rice, I'm not a fan. It is yellow, dry and the vegetables taste frozen at times. I much prefer the fresher steamed rice. The sweet & sour is okay, not the most juicy chicken. The sauce is good and thick. Chicken with broccoli is good, and you can tell the more chicken there is of what seems to be better quality mixed with the sauce. Most orders if not all come with the option of steamed or fried rice. If you're lucky, you get fortune cookies, as sometimes the chef forgets haha. No hard feelings. I recommend calling ahead of time, having the menu alphanumeric code for your dish handy. In example, "Hello, may I place a takeout order for the A5..." etcétera. Then give it some 10-15 minutes and drive to pick it up, or order as you're leaving the office or grocery shopping. read more

It's just fine, nothing terribly remarkable, I would recommend eating it there if you can. It's much better fresh out of the wok than it is turning to goo in a box. read more

Bamboo Garden - a plate of food with rice, meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

Do not use their website to pay for your order. Every time I have used it my card information has been compromised.

If you're looking for typical, safe, quality Americanized Chinese food this is your place!

Food was pretty good although I will admit there was something about their egg rolls that tasted off. They do free delivery on orders of $10 or more. Very friendly staff while we were there. Finally, don't be fooled by the pictures they have up - my wife and I saw those months ago and thought the place was crazy expensive but they have a paper menu inside that is cheaper and more complete. GREAT lunch specials, Generals Tso is my favorite. read more

I've always had great experiences here but tonight I won't be dining here again. We ordered our food online to be picked up in the restaurant . Upon arriving to the restaurant we were questioned about out order. "Do you want almond chicken?" We were asked repeatedly. I assured the woman behind the counter that yes, I did want almond chicken. When we got home to eat, we had been given soup. Soup. This is not almond chicken. To top it off, the sweet and sour chicken I ordered had a lovely BUG in it. There is a BUG in my food. This is completely unacceptable and I would not recommend this restaurant again. I'm very disappointed. read more

Bamboo Garden - After being questioned about our order in the restaurant (we online) we ended up with the wrong food, and a bug in my sweet and sour sauce - Chinese Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

Very tasty. They always get our order correct. Quick service. Lots of vegetarian options.

Its carry out Chinese. I think the food is slightly better than the China village but the service doesn't compare. Delivery is a challenge and sometimes takes an hour +. read more

God this place is amazing its been here even before I was born so going there is like a great memories everytime I go the owners are so kind and funny. I recommend the chicken with broccoli that is usually my good to food it doesn't rake too much time so you can go ahead and call them and go pick it up at there restaurant or they can deliver it to your house. Do recommend going there such a great place to eat the inside of the restaurant isn't to big if you were planing to meet in there but take is usually the best option. read more

Only reason I gave them a 4 star rating is because their new website is not very user friendly. Overall their food is good, reasonably priced and delivery is pretty standard. read more

I've always gotten my food fresh and hot! It's always tasted delicious! I highly recommend the Egg Foo Yung, the Sesame Chicken, and Pepper Steak! Their delivery service is really nice also, food always arrives piping hot! read more

Somebody PLEASE tell me the chicken Lo Mein is made with REAL CHICKEN ?????? cuz the texture taste and color is unlike ANY chicken I have ever eaten or cooked ...Im totally grossed out and am in neeeeed of someone telling me everything is fine and this IS chicken! The flavor of the Lo Mein is great but this " chicken" is grayish and mushy.... . read more

Bamboo Garden - This is the questionable chicken ... - Chinese Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

I love this place. I have been eating their food for over a decade. I get delivery at least once per week. I have looked at the poor reviews and can only guess that people with a bad experience are far more likely to leave a review than those with a positive one. The good is great. Try Bamboo garden, I think you'll enjoy the meal !!! read more

I was skeptical after my first take out order. I simply wanted chicken fried rice without the vegetables, something that has never been a problem at other restaurants, but they can't seem to get it right. After abandoning hope of getting that order correct, I tried to order a typical meal, almond chicken, but it turns out one variety of this is some sort of soup. Never had that problem with other places but once again, there seems to be a disconnect. Lastly, the website is a joke. Special comments come up for only some of the items and navigation is atrocious. I wouldn't recommend dining here, end of story. As a bonus, I've never felt compelled to submit a yelp review before, however, after this terrible experience I needed to let the world know. Do not eat at Bamboo Garden. read more

We had a large group order that we placed through their "online order" system on their website. We came to pick up our order in the store and the man that was working told us that they never received our order. Shortly after, I proved to him via the text messages that I received from their automated service that my order was confirmed and ready at the store. Then, he decided to say "uhhh, sorry," rather than having customer service skills and expediting my order if he would've asked what we ordered. I am very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant, and in the future, I do not plan on returning. read more

Delivery took ~75 minutes, but the food came hot. I ordered General Tso's, fried dumplings, and spring rolls. Let's start with the good, the chicken was actually really good, albeit the sauce was a bit too sweet. Now, onto the bad. Dumplings were INEDIBLE. They were dry, chewy, and straight up disgusting. Couldn't even eat a full one before I put them in the trash. Spring rolls were meh. read more

Mongolian beef was 0.31oz of beef and just under a pound of uncooked onions. Literally.

This is our new go-to Chinese carry out. The price is adequate with the portions and the taste is much better than others in the area. May be a little difficult to find if you've never been there before but definitely worth a try if you have not ordered from here before. read more

This is my favorite Chinese takeout place. Fast, cheap and delicious! I recommend the General Tso's Special Combination :)

Great food. Decent price. I always give them a pick up time about 10 minutes before my expected arrival to make sure my order is ready when I arrive. read more

Placed my order by reviewing the menu on allmenus.com and proceeded to be literally yelled at over the phone. I'd encourage you to buy from somewhere with better customer service. read more

Today I ordered general tso chicken......ha where is the chicken? It was all bread!! So disappointed,can't seem to find a good quality Chinese food restaurant anymore. read more

Exploring Bowling Green area eateries alphabetically, a friend and I went to Bamboo Garden for our "B" restaurant. The place has the same look and feel of any of the ubiquitous 'fast, casual' Chinese restaurants: small dining area with a couple of tables, back-lit menu above the counter showing large pictures of the different dishes, walk-up drink cooler, and friendly but sometimes hard to understand staff. While most of their business appeared to be take-out or delivery, we placed our order to eat there at the restaurant. I got the hot and spicy shrimp lunch special, with fried rice, a pork egg roll, and a (small) bottle of Pepsi, which totaled $7.85. Décor at the restaurant was pretty basic: a large, gold Asian fan on one wall, and a turned-off television on another. Our orders arrived at the table in a reasonable period of time given the lunch rush, and we dug in. The food was standard fare taste-wise, good but nothing to write home about. However the portion sizes were very good for the price, and it was a pleasantly filling lunch. Overall I would rate Bamboo Garden as being Good, and would return. read more

Great selection, good food and service for a very reasonable price. My favorites are chicken with vegetables and beef broccoli. Portion sizes are great!! read more

Ordered the shrimp lo mein and found a long gray hair in it... needless to say I will not be back.

01/09/2013 Last night I was in Bowling Green, Ohio. I had the taste for Chinese food. I have stopped at this place a few times. They have had pretty good food in the past. Bamboo Garden, Located on South Main Street Bowling Green in the Big Lots Plaza. Run by a Chinese family with their first language obviously NOT English! Which is usually a good indicator that the food is authentic. Nothing like going to a Chinese place and meeting the owner John Smith from Cocomo ! No, this place is run by a family that knows the art of Chinese food. Bamboo Garden is a small strip mall restaurant with little seating and less atmosphere. In fact, I would recommend always ordering it to go or for delivery. Most times while dining you will have to contend with the workers yelling in Chinese or the kids running around the dining room or the TV so loud with a Chinese television station on that you want to scream! I just want to eat in piece!! You get a Welcome to Bamboo Garden when reaching the counter but that's about it for conversation. You are told the price and given your food and thanked for coming. Nothing more. Just slightly more pleasant that the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld! In checking their online presence, they do have a pretty nice website. www.bamboogardenoh.com You can even order online! I have not tried this feature but if I can order without talking to them or even seeing the restaurant, that might be the way to go! I did not find a facebook page for them. Now to the food. I ordered Beef with Broccoli, large size. First impressions is WOW! This portion is PLENTY big enough for two people! I also ordered a large Chicken Fried Rice and it too was HUGE! These two items with 2 egg rolls cost less than 20 dollars! Pretty good meal and with the two entrées , enough for a family of four! That's a killer good deal in this economy! The dinner was very good overall. The broccoli was cooked to perfection. Just done enough to not be raw but not over done. Nice green color with still a little crunch. The beef was a little chewy. The sauce was fantastic. I just wish the beef would have been a little better. The taste over all was good over all but nothing to brag about. The chicken fried rice. Very Bland. No flavor. The chicken tasted like maybe it's a frozen product. It didn't lend any flavor to the dish in itself. Usually you see a little egg in your fried rice but I didn't see anything. The rice was very yellow in color which made me think they are using packaged chicken base for an attempt at flavor and like chicken base does, it colors the food you are using it in. Very disappointed in the end product for this dish. Egg rolls. Eh you know egg rolls, frozen, dropped in deep fryer. What can I say. So over all I give the Bamboo Gardens food a "C". The price makes it a great value and a salt shaker will make it eatable! Final Rating Food: 2/12 stars Atmosphere: 1 star Value: 4 stars Recommendation: Skip Bamboo Garden and try The China Village located downtown!

I have been in BG for the past four years and this is my favorite place to eat. I usually get the Garlic Tofu(vegan) and it is amazing. I can spend $9 and have dinner for that night plus enough food for lunch the next day! My family loves to eat here when they come and visit. We are all vegan, and have never ordered anything outside of vegan food, so I obviously have not tried much on their menu. However the menu does have many items available to choose from. If you either want to sit down or take food to go I would say come here. Takes only 10-15 minutes for them to make your food, and it is very good when you eat it. read more

Food is decent. I usually order the sesame chicken. Their delivery is kind of slow. My biggest problem is when paying with a credit card for delivery they put your full credit card number, expiration date and the 3 digit code off of the back of the card. I suggest paying with cash. read more

I've ordered online from Bamboo Garden for delivery orders before and never had a problem. Today I placed an order, paid with a credit card, and received a receipt saying that my order had been received. After an hour, I called to check to see if my order would arrive soon. The man who answered the phone told me that the online system was broken, but that he could take my order and send it to me in half an hour. After our conversation, I thought that my credit card had been charged and that they would just send the meal. But turns out this was not the case, and I didn't not have enough cash to pay the delivery driver. So afterward the man who took my order called and asked what was the problem? He was very angry and it was hard for me to figure out what the situation was (that they had not received my payment). He took my credit card over the phone ("no Discover!"). I received my food shortly after. Even though I had inconvenienced him, the delivery person was nice about it and said it was pretty busy that day because the system was down. I don't think I'll be ordering again- ordering online and over the phone were big hassles and the man on the phone wasn't very pleasant. read more
