    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!

    Closed between 2:30 - 3:30pm.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mongolian 3 combo
    Meilin D.

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

    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!!!

    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

Sandwiches (6 inch) are in the mid teens, so were the salads.

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. For the ambiance - it's set up like a diner inside with booths and counter seating. Not very big but the outdoor patio offers a lot of additional seating. Great price point for the quality of the food. I found my new favorite and I don't see myself eating Mexican anywhere else. Singing "Nothing Compares to You" to my enchilada, with my mouth full, as I devour it. And my dog is mad at me because I greedily would not give her a bite.

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. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. 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. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.
