    Chicken Lunch plate with rice
    Albie E.

    Being in Carson City, I try different Chinese restaurants as this is one of my favourite cuisines. I have been to this restaurant several times and each time it's decent. I try a chicken or beef dish each time I go. I always order at lunch time and get the lunch special which comes with a fried egg roll, crab Rangoon and either hot and sour/ egg flour soup. The food tastes good for the price point and have plenty of variety to chose from. The service is good when it comes to being served from the moment you enter to the dining experience. However, each time I have gone, as you're still eating, you will receive your bill before completing your dining experience. I thought it was just a one time thing, but it was happened each time o have gone and find that classless to do. A business should ask its customer of there is anything else they'd like prior to bringing the bill. Maybe they want free tables for turnover, but I find it quite ride ton get it still as you're taking bites of your food. As for parking, there is plenty as they have a large lot in front of the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual, nice for lunch or dinner and good for individual lunch or groups. I will return to have lunch there, but I hope they read this and change their handling of receiving the bill.

    Chicken with Orange Peel Sauce LUNCH Special
    Danada M.

    I was passing through town taking advantage of cheaper fuel prices at Costco in Carson City and discovered the Bamboo Garden. I phoned to ask if they have a lunch special menu and what's included. It's soup and rice and egg roll and wonton with your entree. So I boogied right over. The prices were very reasonable. The quantity was better than most. It's a beautiful little place and I arrived during the lunch rush. I was seated right away and they were quite fast taking my order and getting my food out. There were quite a few servers available. The food was excellent. I ordered the CHICKEN With ORANGE PEEL SAUCE. It was very sweet like orange chicken but honestly, I thought the sauce was even better. It just had more of an orange flavor. So nice! The chicken was tender and it was sliced thin before being battered rather than in larger chunks. I thought it was excellent. I wish I lived closer. Highly recommend. Hope I get back again. If you find this review useful PLEASE VOTE!!!

    Triple combo with veggies

    Great, fresh and flavorful food! This was our second time visiting and they did not disappoint! The place was packed for a 2:30 lunch on a Saturday, but the staff was calm, friendly, and the food came out only minutes after ordering. Hubby ordered Cahew Chicken with egg flower soup and I ordered the triple combo with veggies in a brown sauce with hot and sour soup. There was not a portion of this meal that was not exceptional, including the lunch price of $12! We will be back for sure!

    Quoting George Bailey "Here's your hat; what's your hurry?" Wonderful people. Acceptable prices. Low key, comfortable atmosphere. Fabulous food with a very deep menu, but maybe a lack of plates and bowls in the back? Sweet older woman kept trying to take dishes off our table. We stopped her three times, she kept coming around, this time asking "Are you finished with this?" I would love even half this attention at some other places (no names). We counted 26 visits to the table to fill water or try to remove plates. We began timing her. On the average, she came around every four minutes. In her defense it was between meals (2:30pm). It's still the best in Carson City. My Cashew Chicken was superior with plenty of celery, chunks of chicken and cashews! 03/24

    The music and lighting of this place is so claiming. The food is excellent. I had the Kung Pao lunch special, tasted great at an awesome value. The service was fast and efficient.

    This is what Generals chicken is supposed to look like. Definitely not what I received

    Having moved from SE TX to NW NV, we are still on the search for Chinese food that is decent. We still have not found that. Even with the good reviews. 1st, we ordered to go. I went to pick it up, and the restaurant was really confusing inside. I was looking for a hostess stand etc. Nope, a little tiny counter in the back far corner. No signs to let you know that is where you pick up at. 2nd The food was subpar for the price. Had the hot n sour soup. It was just ok. Not much flavor compared to others in the area. Ordered a general's chicken lunch special. It is like sweet n sour chicken breaded just with general's sauce poured over it. Some of the pieces were inedible as they were so hard inside, like this was not their 1st fry. A kung pao (NO SPICE) triple delight lunch special with no beef or peanuts. That was pretty good, but absolutely NO SPICE!!! We wanted SPICE!!!!! 3rd We wanted house fried rice substituted for the regular fried rice but could only get it as a large order that was disappointing to say the least. It literally had 2 shrimp in the entire container, the chicken in it was off tasting, so most of that went into the trash. Not worth the almost 15.00 they charged for it. So, 40.00 of subpar food. Lesson learned. Definitely will not be going back!

    Honestly, it's the best Chinese I've had in Northern Nevada. Came here with my family of 10 people. I called ahead and was told that most likely had a shot to have the one larger table in the restaurant. Not only did we get the table, but we also had some amazing service overall. From the lovely ladies who got our drinks to the server (possibly the owner???). She took our order, everything was 100% correct and even brought us extra tea. The food was amazing. The broth on the soups was delicious. The actual entrees weren't super salty and had just the correct amount of sauce. I'm very impressed and can't wait to go back.

    Kind of just normal.

    Did this place have a different name a few years ago? We used to go to a Chinese restaurant in this location but could swear it was called something different, maybe China Palace or something like that. It was fantastic. Hope they just changed names.

    I'm not from the area but Tanya H. wrote in her review of 10/01/19 that it was called Beijing Palace. I can say that the one time we ate here the food, ambiance & service were excellent!

    Hi coming from the Bay Area on 2/16 for the weekend need a table for 10 was wondering if there's room for a Lil celebration there?

    Look at the pictures under "inside". Although the restaurant mainly features booths, some of the pics show tables that might be pulled together for a group. Give them a call. Nice decor and good food!

    We really like this small place. We have been here many times for their Pho as it is always…read moredelicious and a nice size portions. Today, for lunch, we decided to try their Chinese food. Great choice. We had Beef w snow peas and chicken asparagus. Both were large servings of delicious food. All fresh, served hot and very good. The owner, Ling, is a delight and we are pleased to support a nice local resturant. And try their donuts - i love their apple fritters.

    Time for an update, basically a duplicate review. At least they are consistent, lol…read more This was our 5 star Chinese to-go food from a year or two ago, and it was take-out only at that time. Quality/Quantity - 5 stars when we first discovered this place a year or two ago. Today it was a 4 star experience, as it was too soy saucy and salty for me. And I love soy sauce and salt!! Combo Chow Mein - Generous portions. Had at least 4 shrimps. I also really like the cuts of their meats, both the chicken and beef were thinly cut and tender. They sell boba drinks, donuts, Vietnamese and Chinese food... etc. They also have a very limited dim sum menu. They also have a lunch menu. Atmosphere - Small local business, sit down is now reopened. Open 6 days a week from 6am to 9pm; closed Sunday. Yelp and their menu hours differ a little. So call to confirm... Plenty of parking. Service - Good, we have only ever done take-out here. They seem to have a very good take-out business, but I am patient. Price - As you can see from my 1-5 year old menu pictures, prices have gone up from $10 to $16 for my combo chow mein meal. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location for 14+ years. I look forward to trying your donuts and Vietnamese food in the future.
