    Came her for lunch and was not disappointed! We ordered the lunch specials for general chicken and mapo tofu. Delicious!!! The hot and sour soup was also perfect! Portions were great because we got so full we had to take the rest home. Service was fast and friendly. There are plenty of tables inside and ample parking outside. I would definitely come again!

    Egg drop soup , yummy

    Decor is very simple and we were waited on right away, restaurant was half full possibly during lunch hour. Only problem I had was all our dishes came out one at a time and took a while to get all four of us our meals. My co-worker was almost done, the time I got my food, maybe it's made nice , hot and fresh? I ordered honey walnut prawns, they were big and tasty, but I have had really delicious ones elsewhere, portions are on smaller side too, usually I can bring half of my food home, but at here, it was just enough to finish in one setting.

    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

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

    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!!!

    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.

    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

Just along the main strip of town, this place is busy. We stopped by early morning just a little after they were opened. Even mid week and there was a massive line already forming. They must be good. There's two entrance, first being the main where the front door is. Patio seating available along the sidewalk. And then the back entrance where the majority of the seating is outside. It's like a secret garden with all the trees and plants. Somewhat a treehouse feel as well. They have 2 levels with tables. Beautiful spot sitting there under the tree having a nice cup of joes and a beautiful pastries. Indoor also has some seating along the front and I believe there's a second floor right above the entrance. There's mainly one line for everything. You wait to place your order if you wanted pastries and food. I think you could just order drinks at counter if you're not getting food but don't quote me on that. Everyone was waiting together. Once you reach the top, there's the counter of fresh baked pastries that's made daily. Things do sell out pretty fast. We literally arrived not long after they open and the ham and cheese croissant was already sold out. Besides pastries, there's fresh baked bread. Coffee drinks were pretty good too. After you pick what you want, the cashier is at the end and that's where you pay. There's a counter at the back where drinks are picked up. The whole place has an open kitchen feel where you could actually see all the workers preparing the sweets. In the back kitchen, you could walk by and see the pastries chef preparing and putting together the fresh sweets. It's like you're part of the kitchen. It's a cute place and it does get busy. The locals know about this place so it a hot spot. The holiday makers know which their names is getting out there and making a big splash for them. We've been a few times while in town and each time, alway busy and great. Amazing pastries and good drink. It is on the pricer side but that's pretty much everywhere you go these days.

The store was smaller than I expected. I got there after lunch and they were out of most of the breads. I got an almond croissant, the carrot cake, a yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting & the bread pudding to share. The almond croissant was mid, the carrot cake was dry, and so was the cupcake. I was highly disappointed. The bread pudding, however was delicious! It came with a delicious sauce, and the bread pudding had fruit in it. That may sound strange, but you have to try it! Overall, & for the area, I recommend this place if you're looking for fresh baked goods, good vibes, with no high expectations.

Driving home from a pool day I was super hangry and needed tacos. Pulled up Yelp, sorted Mexican food restaurants by distance and found La Primavera. They were super busy at 5:30pm on Saturday night. It took about 20 minutes to get my take out order (my dog was in the car so I had to take out although I get a feeling they would not have minded if I brought her inside). Two tacos, one steak, one chicken, and a chicken enchilada with rice and beans. Ate the tacos when I got home and they were just so perfect. I can't even describe how delicious they were (and no, it was not just because I was hangry). I just ate the enchilada meal today for lunch and wow, just wow. So authentic, so on point. I'm in love.

Was a very decent size for an appetizer as well. The kids really enjoyed this. Tofu Stew - i usually get this spicy, but since my daughter didn't want spice, we got it not spicy at all. Tofu was soft and the beef was alright. This dish was on the more saltier side in our opinions, but wonder if the spice they would have added would have balanced out the saltiness. The side of rice helped cut the saltiness as well. Bimbimbap - love these stone bowl rice dishes! Was pretty standard and we added a fried egg on top as well. My son was a fan of this dish. I expected a bit more. Kalbijjim - the must dish to get here! We ordered the MINI one since we were sharing everything, and we didn't add on any toppings. The dish came and it was really big and amazing. However, either the person didn't hear me or ignored me, it turned out it was the regular size as we were charged $80+ for it instead of the $30 mini size one. It was really tasty - both the short ribs on the bones and not on the bone. There were radish, potato, and rice cakes mixed in there as well. If we knew we were getting a regular one, I would have liked some toppings such as corn or something... not too sure what happened there, but it was still really tasty. We had a bit leftover and were given a box with no lid. They would seal the box with the plastic wrap thingy. Would come back again.

The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer.

Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings.
