Small clean Chinese/Japanese eat in/take out restaurant in Staple's Plaza on 119 serving generous portions of excellent quality and taste, all made fresh and never had anything less than great. Also helps that the staff is a very pleasant and amenable. I love Chinese food and very good restaurants are really scarce. After Central Seafood closed it was a chore to find an establishment worth patronizing. This place is the real deal. read more

Five star rating now. The rice was far from hard this time. It deff was fresh and the shrimp and broccoli was fresh like last time.

I ordered delivery to the hotel. The process was quite simple and they delivered to the room. Price was decent but it's not delicious. The hotel staff spoke very highly of this place but flavor was not even close to authentic asian food. The salmon was the best but the sechuan dish I ordered didn't have a little bit of sechuan-ness in it. I couldn't feel any spice. It was a bland mixture of meat and veggies. read more

Good, but they deliver only very local in Elmsford, wish they delivered a little further to West Harrison. Much better than places in WP. read more

I ordered the pan fried noodles and they served the noodles loose in a grocery bag... on the bright side, the food was awful enough that I didn't take more than a bite, so I probably wont get food poisoning now read more

Authentic Chinese food! Affordable and no-frills. There is room for dining in (quiet and not busy interior), but they do a lot more takeout. Food was fast and delicious. Service was prompt but not fussy. read more

Just don't waste your time w this place. The food was subpar to say the least. The fried rice was barely fried and tasted old. The dumplings were also undercooked so we put them in the air fryer. The rest of the food was eatable but lacked flavor. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

The food looks okay, but it tastes like cardboard. I think they are missing some of flavor or sauces. Unfortunate for me to try their food. :( If you want a better Asian cuisine, I would recommend avoiding this place. read more

This place was fast but it was pretty standard American Chinese food. Not very authentic. Veggies were al dente & it was served hot. Portions are on the smaller side. It was fine but I won't be returning. It just wasn't that interesting. And it definitely wasn't authentic Chinese. read more

For quick Chinese food, it was pretty solid. This is one of the few places I've gone where the general tso chicken was actually crispy. The sauce had a nice kick as well. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, definitely recommend. read more

Was hoping for a delicious meal after a Long Day's work. Was very disappointed in everything I ordered. The wontons in My soup were gummy and tasteless. The California roll was outrageously priced at 6:50 for four pieces and they weren't even good. The crispy fried calamari were the worst by far. I don't know what kind of battery they used but it was tasteless mushy puffy anything but crispy and tasty. I won't be going back there anytime soon read more

Let me say this is a first, first ever food review and first online review ever. The reason I had to speak up follows: There were three in our party and the ONLY dine-in guests during lunch. Service was good and the atmosphere was ok as well. Room and tables all clean, no issues. Now the food, I am very familiar with Chinese food and Mott St. in the city is the place for REAL AUTHENTIC Chinese food. What we were served at the Bamboo Garden appeared to be food, that is where the resemblance ended. What they said was Chow Mein (in a red liquid) was completely void of taste. It was beyond BLAND, literally NO TASTE. It appeared to be cabbage, etc, but if I was blind and my life was on the line, I could not tell you what I was eating. One person ordered Sushi rolls, and had to cover in wasabi and ginger (not what ginger is for) just to taste SOMETHING. The other person had a veggie soup, yes the veggies had some taste, but the broth was also void of ANY flavor. More like water than any broth I have tasted. Bottom line, if you have lost your sense of taste, go here because the food is void of all flavor. If you want tasty Chinese food, go to Mott St. in the city for food with FLAVOR. Lastly, I thought I had COVID again because I could not taste ANY flavor. After a quick trip to Taco Bell and some spicy tacos, I realized it was NOT me, it was the Bamboo Garden's tasteless food. One Star is for overall, because the service and atmosphere were ok and they do not control the food. ZERO STARS (should be Negative Three stars) for the food. If you can't make it to Mott St. in the city, Taco Bell has spicy tacos or 7-11 Pizza, both have taste. Or go to Popeye's next door. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant several times over many years and under previous management. Last night I treated 5 other people to dinner there, and for the first time, I was very disappointed and somewhat disgusted, literally. While eating chicken with eggplant, which was actually quite good, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my mouth and something that felt like a sliver of plastic. It turned out to be a fish bone, along with a few more of them. I showed them to the waitress and the manager, who acknowledged that they were fish bones and apologized. Other than the manager's explanation that they "were very busy" last night, I received no other compensation, and the price of that meal remained on my bill. I was left with a knot in my stomach and could eat nothing more after that, wondering what else might have been in their food. It would be hard for me to return to that restaurant again, considering the sloppy chef and poor management. They made two serious mistakes that will cost them more than the price of my meal, which should have at least been refunded to me. read more

I was in the mood from some really good Asian cuisine and I couldn't help but come up with the Bamboo Gardens, which was a some 20 minutes from me, but I had eaten here at one point last year and was pretty impressed with the dishes that I ordered. This time around I kept it very simple, ordered some pan fried pork dumplings. When they came out of the kitchen, they looked like they were first boiled and later pan fried which is fine, if it wasn't for the burned edges. Not quite what I expected which I found very disappointing. Entrees, I ordered Szechuan Beef with Pork Fried Rice. They were both very good and enjoyed it all. The Staff was very attentive and concerned with service. Thanks guys! read more

Ate dinner in restaurant. We were the only ones eating inside. But they were real busy doing take out. Nice hot tea brought over. Waitress was very sweet and checked to see if we needed anything regularly. Wonton egg drop soup was flavorful and hot. Fried noodles fresh. We ordered mu shu chicken and bird nest. Both were very good. Nice vegetables. And not too saucy. They gave us pineapple for dessert. Nice touch. We will be back. read more

This place use to be really good, but has just gone downhill since. The general Tao chicken is bland and dry. I don't know how you can serve that to people smh. read more

First time customer and used to Staten Island/Brooklyn Chinese Cantonese especially the ribs--all was pretty good, and they have a new customer. Inside looked nice and will probably head over there next week for lunch with a few friends. read more

First time ordering. Had your basic take out dishes (chicken broccoli, sesame chicken, wonton soup, etc.) and everything was bland. So in one word it's "Eh" read more

#7 This is the first restaurant Chinese that I had seen with a server; the menu is a little different from the other one. I went with a couple of co-worker for lunch; they have free Tea and free water. What? In Chinese place, first time i see this, they have a lunch special like other place but this one give you a soup free. I had the sesame chicken he dish is similar to General Tso's chicken but the taste of the Chinese-based chicken is sweet rather than spicy One of my friend had Beef pepper he says that is a delicious meal, served with boiled white rice, that's easy and made from items that I've already got in my cupboards! The other one had triple delight he love this dish that consists of oyster and soy sauce that simmers with the chicken, shrimp, beef tenderloin and some delicious vegetables. They also have a sushi table looking forward to go again and eat some sushi. . read more

1st time I got take out it was very good. the second time was a disappointment. the diced chicken with cashews was really more carrots and root vegetable. I paid 18 dollars for a small lunch special and a soup. way too expensive but I wouldn't be so disappointed if the food was good. not going there again. read more

Good take-out. The Chinese food is consistently good. The chicken fried rice has a ton of large strips of chicken and one of my favorite places to get it. We like that it also has sushi. The sushi is always fresh and is always good. We get tuna and avocado. The pieces of tuna are really nice pieces. We are always happy. read more

Decided to order in for New Year's and wanted to try someplace new. The food was very expensive. The teriyaki chicken was tasteless and so dry no matter how much sauce you put on it nothing helped. The wonton soup tasted like dirty water although the wontons themselves were ok. The sesame chicken was an odd orange color and the sauce was very thick and goopy. The rest of our ordered items were all mediocre. I would not go back to Bamboo Gardens and I would not recommend them at all. Guess I'll have to keep looking for a restaurant... read more

Food was average! What really got them the 2 stars was the mouse I seen running from the kitchen to the soda machine at its entrance! Total turn off! read more

Horrible!!!!! Ordered Pepper Steak, General Tso, Chicken and Broccoli and Dumplings. Beef was all fatty, chicken was mushy and pink, general tso chicken was disgusting dark grisl, the rice was hard, undercooked, the dumplings were soggy and slimy. ALL of the food was tasted and tossed in the garbage. read more

Probably the very worst Chinese food I've had in my entire life, and I feel like this particular restaurant is an embarrassment. While the service was great and very pleasant, the food ordered had very poor presentation and taste. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plentiful however I get better Chinese food in Arizona that this visit to this rather disappointing Chinese dining experience at Bamboo Gardens In Elmsford Ny. The hot and sour soup was awful and my chicken and Chinese eggplant dish had no flavor. Skip this place at all costs! read more

This is my favorite take-out Chinese food place. The quality of the food is great and the service is amazing. These guys know what they're doing and I'm sure you will be satisfied with the menu selection. Beyond your standard Chinese takeout, they have a sushi chef preparing fresh Japanese cuisine on the spot. If you're on a diet, try their steamed chicken with broccoli and brown rice and substitute the brown sauce for the hot oil. It's a must read more

Great food . Clean environment. Not salty at all. Nice size portions. Beef with string beans was fantastic

I've been coming here for 10 years and it's still the best Chinese take out I have had in Westchester. Always very fresh, prepared fast. Also, they deliver. It's a little pricey for Chinese in my opinion, but worth it. I used to frequent K Fung's across from the Hartsdale train station, but now that it's changed owners, it isn't the same. I'm extremely picky about Chinese food and Bamboo Garden is the only place I'll go now. read more

i decided to bring my friend here for his birthday. The place was clean. service was fast. We shared the dumplings. he ordered the Gen chicken and i ordered the chick with broc. The bill was less then 25.00. Parking can be a hassle, especially during certain seasons. Right now everyone was getting things for collages that start next week, read more

Ever since there was a change (management or cooks) at Oriental Diner, I've been looking for great Chinese take out nearby. Very glad I took a chance and ordered from Bamboo Garden--and even MORE glad that I didn't read the one star reviews. The guy answering the phone was obviously very busy, given it is a Saturday night; however, he was MORE than adequate and expertly took my order. Imagine my surprise--the food arrived FIFTEEN minutes EARLY, still piping hot! Our full order: Egg drop soup--DELICIOUS Shrimp Shu Mai--small but DELICIOUS Scallion pancake--a little thicker than I'm used to, but crispy and DELICIOUS Singapore Mei Fun--plenty of chicken and good quality bbq pork in it and DELICIOUS Szechuan String Beans--DELICIOUS Kung Pao Chicken--minor criticism here but there was more diced carrot than peanuts in it, but it was still DELICIOUS Total: $49.12. VERY GOOD VALUE. VERY pleased with our first order and look forward to ordering from them again. read more

Don't order the appetizer butterfly shrimp - all you get is a small shrimp that has been pound to death to make it bigger then coated in so much Panco that all you eat is fried Panco. General Tao's chicken was weird tasting with an artificial red tinge to it. The brown rice tasted fermented. I use to go there all the time but I guess I will not be returning there again. read more

We've ordered delivery from this restaurant a few times before & were pleased with it so we decided to eat in tonight. We arrived at 5:30 pm. There were 3 tables sat besides us. There is a parking lot which is always nicer versus searching for parking on the street & the restaurant front was well lit. When we pulled up I could see two employees through the window that were behind the counter. It was about 15 degrees outside & we were both carrying a lil kid. The man quickly went out of his way to open the for us so that made a good first impression on us both. We were immediately seated & our server got a highchair & booster seat right away (that's always a Huge help- as the quicker the kids get buckled in, the easier it is to start ordering etc:)) The table was pre-set nicely but not too crowded with dishes, as I've seen at many restaurants. Water was complimentary & the server poured us hot tea & left us for a few minutes to look over the menu. The menu was easy to read, not overwhelming, & very reasonably priced. Our order was taken shortly after. We ordered the Black Dragon roll, the Pink Lady roll, the M16 roll, edamami, velvet chicken & corn soup, & fried rice. We requested for the fried rice to come out as soon as possible because it was for the kids. He said no problem but really meant it... it was on our table less than 5 mins later! :) Looking around I found the restaurant to be very clean. Also, background music was soft & not too loud where you could still carry on a conversation. Only one thing bothered me was where some paint was peeling off the wall. It looked like it may have been from the previous furniture being up against the wall & somewhat adhering to it over time, then moved. It concerned me because the 1yr old with us was picking it off the wall about to put it in her mouth when we noticed & moved her further away. The food was brought out in great time & arranged nicely. The entire meal our server checked on us just often enough, but not too often that it's annoying. Thankfully the kids were very well behaved but even so we usually feel rushed at restaurants when they're with us. That wasn't an issue here. He made sure a couple times that the little girls liked the food & were taken care of. That was a big plus for us both! As the kids started to get a bit restless we asked for the check & he boxed up our leftovers for us. Unfortunately, neither of us caught his name & they weren't wearing nametags either. So my opinion- The food was delicious & the service was great! I see this restaurant has no previous Yelp reviews or tips & my opinion is the only one on here so far but (for what it's worth) I highly recommend this place! read more

Bamboo Gardens - (from closest to furthest back on the plate) M16 roll, Black Dragon roll, & Pink Lady roll... Delicious!! - Chinese Near Me - Elmsford, New York

This is one of our favorite Chinese and Japanese restaurants in the Elmsford-Tarrytown area. The food is always of the highest quality. I usually order the steamed mixed vegetables and chicken dish, with brown rice on the side. My husband usual dish is the sesame cold noodles with peanut sauce. Another favorite are the sushi rolls!!! They always offer a generous portion with each roll that is served. We have been known to dine in and order take out. Both options are wonderful. read more

I'm stunned that this place has any good reviews. We ordered a good selection of chinese food for a large group of people at our house. I expected generic American Chinese takeout, but I was in for a surprise. We first noticed that they had charged us for their Quart sized meals, then sent pints instead. This was mentioned to the cashier, who insisted the containers were quart sized and correct. This should have been a warning for what we were getting into. I'm not sure if they make anything in house, but there was no question that the eggrolls and wontons were bought frozen. The egg rolls were fried until they had gone partly translucent, and when they cracked fryer oil spilled out! The wontons were almost completely raw dough, with a tiny piece of frozen meat in the centers, completely inedible. Most of the entrees were just sub par, especially the Hot & Spicy items, like their General Tso's, all of which were clearly tossed in corn syrup & starch slurry. There was no flavor or heat to be found. Far and away the worst however, was the mu shu pork, where the meat was rotten. I'm not saying it smelled a little off, it was full on rancid. There is no way the cook could have missed the smell and look of rotten meat, and the fact that they decided to serve it anyway should tell you all you need to know about this place. Disgusting. read more

This is by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It wasn't even bad as in the sense of 'fast food' Chinese. It was bad as in "what the fuck did I just eat?" - it tasted like a combination of ass and my balls. The people were nice, but good lord they make some terrible food. I figured I'd be safer there than going to a diner or Burger King (My other dining choices in that town) and boy was I wrong. A whopper would have been about a million times better than that crap I just ingested. My reviews aren't normally this negative... but good lord. read more

Food merely ok, staff not very nice Service was way below average I highly recommend you avoid this place read more

This place is pretty hit or miss. I used to love coming here but the people that answer the phone can just be nasty! Food is pretty good however but the service has stopped me from placing an order more than once. read more
