    Bamboo Garden is a Chinese restaurant located in the Village Oaks Shopping Center in Martinez. I got a tip from a Yelp Elite friend that I should come try this place. This is a nice restaurant. It's clean and neat. Spacious dining room with lots of tables. I was told the bar is leftover from the previous owners. So I don't know if they serve all that wine that's on display. The customer service is outstanding here. I was at Bamboo Garden on a Tuesday, at around 4:30pm. It was about 73*F. My server asked if I would like Iced Tea, which BTW isn't on the menu. This place has an extensive menu, but I ordered one of my favorite dishes......Tomato Beef Chow Mein- Hong Kong (HK) Style. My server took the time to explain to me what I was ordering. I said YES, that's what I want. The presentation was very nice. Chopped veggies, sliced beef, and thick gravy on top of a crispy pancake of thin fried noodles. She even served me the first portion. However, they put too much sugar in the sauce, and the chow mein was sweet. It was okay, but not the way I like it. I would like to return and try the Wor Won Ton Soup. ------------------------------------ Notes: Open Daily, but closed 2:30-3:30pm. -- Men and Women restrooms, no All Gender -- Free parking

    Always a great experience. Good reusable takeout containers. My favorite was Mongolian 3 combo. Nice spice level without being overpowering.

    A solid 4. This is my son's favorite Chinese to get take out. They make gluten free ordering easy for his wife. Mom and I dined in for lunch yesterday. It is big and quiet in there, so conversations are far from private. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was good. Not outstanding. A good experience.

    Mongolian Beef Yum!

    Small restaurant in a busy shopping center. We were a group of 13 and were the only people eating in. There was a lot of people coming in for their take away orders. We ordered a lot of different dishes! 2 types of pot stickers, 3 prawn dishes, chow mein, fried rice, hot & sour soup, 2 different beef dishes, chicken and fish! Everything I tried was good! You have to a have decent hot & sour soup if you serve chinese food! It wasn't the best I've had, but it was good! The dumplings with Szechuan sauce were tasty and not over the top spicy. Very Good! The Mongolian beef and Hot & Spicy Beef with garlic were very good. I'll order these everytime! The beef was tender and good quality. We ordered the Orange chicken without spicy. The orange flavor was there! This is another dish I'd order every time. The Salt & Pepper Prawns & fish were awesome! Fresh, fried prawns and fish well-seasoned! The service was excellent! The food was out quickly! I'll be back! Cheers - Eric

    One of the better Chinese restaurants that I've been to in a while. All the dishes we ordered were very good. BBQ Fried Rice, HK style Chow Mein and Kung Pao Chicken were excellent. Maybe I was expecting more from the Kung Fu Fish but that was just ok. Portions here huge for the price. Servers were friendly. Will definitely be back to try some other dishes.

    Chow Mein & Chicken w.Mixed Vegetables

    The best chinese in town! My husband and I eat here once a week, mainly because the food is delicious, but also to see Albert!!! He's the best. So friendly, attentive, and always has us laughing. We only go on the days that he works which I believe is weekdays only! OUR FAVORITES: Appetizers: - Crab rangoons!!!!! - Szechwan dumplings Mains: - Chow mein - Chicken with Mixed Vegetables - Honey Walnut Shrimp - Tomato Beef Chow Mein (this is different but good! give it a try! it's sweet) - Hot and sour soup

    Mongolian beef but where's the beef?????  It's mostly all onions and sauce.  Never will I order this!!  Please the cheap us.
    Vina A.

    Wow! Where's the beef for my Mongolian Beef dish! It's all onions and green onions over sauce! Never will I order this dish again! I'm disappointed I got robbed of my beef!!!

    This is my favorite Chinese spot to go to , when I go get Chinese this is my go to place, affordable prices, and hot , good, comfort food

    Scrambled Egg with Prawns

    I love Bamboo Garden! I used to go here for lunch when I worked nearby. The restaurant is located in Martinez in a shopping center filled with other small restaurants. But this one is definitely my go-to when I want good Chinese food for an affordable price. Parking is never an issue and the restaurant fits about 50 customers. The employees at this establishment are really friendly. They even get to know you to the point where they know what dishes you like if you come there a lot...like me. Sometimes it gets busy during lunch and sometimes you see one waiter on the floor. Despite their busy hours, they do find the time to make sure they get your order in and out as soon as possible. My favorite lunch dish is the scrambled eggs with prawns with brown rice. My secondary favorite dish is the Mongolian beef and fried rice. The hot and sour soup and egg flower soup taste amazing in my opinion. Unfortunately, I got promoted at a different department and I no longer work nearby. Luckily, they do DoorDash so now I'm able to order from Bamboo Garden through DoorDash. I still order the scrambled eggs with prawns lol. Even when I do order and if they run out of something, for example, brown rice, they take the time to call to let you know and offer other options. 5 stars for me. I might even go there for lunch today. Price range for lunch specials: $10-13 (DoorDash) It's probably cheaper when you dine in.

    Food was great especially the walnut prawns. The wait time was atrocious, but it was Christmas Eve so I'm giving them a pass for that.

I have been CRAVING (!!!!) a few of the items on the menu! The calamari, scallops, lobster - chef's kiss! The steak? Mouthwatering. I know this is a seafood restaurant, but our waiter advised the ownership is the same as Forbes Mill (also in Danville) and if you've ever been there, you know it's probably the best steak that you can find in the east bay, and the steak at Tides is the same quality. Despite going on Valentine's Day when it was extremely busy, our waiter and the kitchen did a fantastic job. We never felt like service suffered and they were incredibly on top of everything from start to finish. Our waiter gave us amazing recommendations from food items, to cocktails, and wine pairings, and was just so warm and friendly. The restaurant itself is so nicely decorated and I love the modern and trendy take. Given the location, I was expecting it to have a more traditional aesthetic, and I'm so impressed with the direction they went with it. The entire vibe of the restaurant is great and this is definitely a stand out place in the area. I am counting down the days until I go back!

    Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies ! This is my first time coming here and it's Mother's Day so…read morelet's get into it ! First it's a nice sunny day ! We have tried to come here before but it was super packed no parking and it was night time . This was months ago . This morning my man surprised me by bringing me here again for Mother's Day breakfast/brunch . We got there right when opening and the inside was already full ( people made reservations for Mother's Day but they had outdoor seating which is covered from the sun and has heaters ) They had a special menu for Mother's Day today so a lot of what you might see on the regular menu may have not been on today's menu . Our waiter let alone the rest of the staff were very nice and polite and kept wishing happy Mother's Day to everyone . It was very nice . Now food ! Ofcourse you know I got oysters . They had 5 different kinds to choose from but I got the dozen with all of them ! All fresh ! Some were more sweet some more Briney some more creamy . All of them were good and the shallot vinaigrette was the cherry on top ! He got the tortilla soup and we shared the cheesy crabby bread . He dipped it in the soup ( boys lol ) and sad it was good . My personal opinion I love the bread they used ! And nice flavor with out taking away from the nice amount of crab they put on it ! The steak Cobb salad was a very nice portion and the steak was cooked medium rare just how I like it . I was expecting it to be cut up pieces but no they gave you a whole filet which is nice if you want something light and filling I'd definitely recommend this salad . The clams were amazing ! The sauce was so savory just added a dash of lemon and I was in heaven . Plus the cheesy toasted bread they give you to slurp all that excellence lol top tier . Crab omelette was made with egg whites only no yolk , and had ample amount of LUMP crab meat no skimpy at all ! Potatoes were seasoned nice . And the waffles ( which comes by itself heads up that's why we ordered sausage and bacon as a side 8$ each kinda pricey. But we're very thick and good ) the waffles comes with a berry butter spread fresh fruit . Fluffy but still crisp. The limoncello mimosa flavor wise loved the limon but lacked the mosa part . Overall I'd highly recommend and want to come back to try more options . It was nice seeing all the happy families and the cutesy babies all around . Today was a beautiful day thankyou Wences !
