    UNDER NEW OWNER! Still so good. We waited a few weeks after it sold to give it a try and it was good, friendly too.

    Inspired by the good words from Yelpers, we decided to take a break from oysters and lobsters while visiting Maine and enjoy some Chinese food. We're glad we did. We had a very tasty meal with nice service in a restaurant that is just a bit off the beaten path but well worth any trouble that night require. Our menu consisted of wonton soup, garlic chicken, a Pupu platter and chicken wings and some beer (regrettably and ironically they were out of the Chinese beer we prefer). All of the dishes were quite satisfying and quite reasonably priced. Our entire meal came to less than a two-pound lobster would cost just down the road. The interior is clean and roomy and they have two cute fish tanks (see our photos).

    Broccoli and fried tofu with an awful brown sauce . Tiny portion too. 1/10

    We drove around looking for food but with so many places closed at 7pm and we didn't find much. We were glad Bamboo Garden was open. Let's start with - it's very clean inside. Welcoming. Nicely lit. Booth was comfy. Started with drinks - coke and a water. The water tasted disgusting so I opted for hot tea. As a vegan it's sometimes hard to eat out. I opted for the fried tofu and broccoli. No mention of sauce on the menu, and definitely no mention of there being oyster sauce on the tofu. After seeing it covered in a brown sauce I asked the waiter before trying it to find out if it was vegan friendly (or even vegetarian friendly!). He said no, that it had oyster sauce. I typically get fried tofu near by and it comes with a sweet chili sauce, on the side which I especially appreciate. They brought me another dish after I requested no sauce. Nope. It was slathered in this awful brown sauce that tastes disgusting. The tofu texture was way off. I had one broccoli and couldn't eat anymore. Now for the meat portion. The beef teriyaki are thinner but taste was good. Egg rolls also were very good. Chicken fingers were nicely battered and perfectly cooked. Rice was good too. And chicken sesame was incredible. Portions were smaller aside from the sesame chicken and of course egg rolls you always get 2. Oddly enough they give you only one tiny bowl of duck sauce and when you request more it's maybe a 1oz container. Just strange as local places hand you several with every order. It was $83 for dinner. Not worth it, imo. May go back for take out for the meat eater but that's about it.

They serve various size of lobsters as well as cook them for you. However they do not provide place to eat or utensils so they function more as a market than a restaurant. They have sort of a parking lot where you can park. There are few works on the back hanging around and 2 younger staff that take care of orders. Lobster has quite few size options and some explanations for terms they use. We weren't sure what to get but figure we wanted larger size lobsters. SLX which is the largest ones were $14 per pound. They can also let you pick them live as well but we chose 2 lb ones. They charge $1.5 to boil but it's a-lot of work to boil properly so it's worth it. We waited about 20-25minutes or so and they also chilled it so that we can take it home to eat. Luckily we had ice box with some ice packs so it kept the lobster fresh until getting home. Once we got home we opened the bag to eat the lobster. It's a huge lobster with large claws. We got a large bowl and separate plate to eat. It was a massive task to crack the claws as one of the claw was huge and very tough. We ended up using a hammer and dull knife to crack them open. The meat was tender and sweet. One of the best maine lobster we had. Overall the place provides fresh maine lobster for good price. Only issue is that they don't serve it so you will need to plan to take it home and have tools to crack them open. They also only take cash. If i were to come back i would give them a call a head of time to have the lobster prepared to go and pick them up which seems to be what other people were doing.

They serve up lobster rolls (mayo or buttered), fried belly clams (& rolls), crab rolls, smoked brisket brats, chicken fingers, lobster stew, lobster dip, lobster ABLT, chips, cookies, H-Jays frozen custard, soft drinks, lemonade and iced tea. At the time of this posting, their website was still under construction and they will be offering DoorDash delivery. There are picnic tables in front of the trailer. After an appointment nearby, I stopped by the Trapped in York Maine food trailer. I decided to order a Small Trapped Meal ($24 plus tax) with a Small Lobster Roll, bag of Cape Cod Sea Salt Chips, watermelon cubes, 2 homemade Maine spice cookies, and a fresh lemonade. My order was prepared to order in about 8 minutes. I enjoyed my food outside. The Lobster Roll (3 oz of knuckle & claw meat in mayo) on a toasted New England hot dog roll. The watermelon and chips were good sides for the Maine style lobster roll. The 2 homemade sweet Maine spice cookies were soft and chewy. The iced lemonade was refreshing, as I enjoyed the rest in the ride after finishing my meal.

I was excited to find out that they are in fact open on Sundays- so Yelp is wrong about that. I got the large which is 6 oz on a hot buttered brioche roll, which can be served cold with just mayo, or warm with butter. I opted for the latter. It was DELICIOUS - more tail than claw- which made me extra happy!! The service was outstanding, I believe the owner was there- but the young lady was also quite sweet. They answered all my questions, both on the phone, and in person. I also ordered the haddock and fries for tomorrow- but of course I tried it. So tender and flaky!! Their fries are hand cut, and have both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. So good! Lunch is going to be great tomorrow! The place is a yellow food truck, so seating is casual at picnic tables. It is quite lovely! I was hungry- so I had already taken a few bits of my lobster roll- sorry about that haha
