I'm not going to gate keep anymore. The food is great. Service is great. Ambiance is great. But do not sleep on the combination wonton soup. It has healing powers I can't explain. Anytime anyone in my household is sick, we order takeout of this amazing concoction. Within 24 hours - healed!! Every. Single. Time. We've been coming to this establishment for the past 8 years, but just discovered the soup about 4 years ago. I can't keep it to myself any longer. It's just too good. I had the flu this past week and ordered the soup and BOOM! Instantly back to life. Bonus: I just learned you can order extra broth on the side for only $5! Amazing. I can now double this nectar of the gods for a fraction of the price! #winning This is the best Chinese restaurant we have found in the area. We have lived in the Bay Area and in Orange County, so we were spoiled. But super grateful for Bambu Garden! read more

Service was incredible, staff is super attentive and friendly, ambience was welcoming and warm for all occasions, inside decor is amazing, place clean and upkept, and food came out quickly without lengthy delays! Why 3 stars? The Chinese food was quite average, bland, and not one single dish stood out to us as extraordinary, unfortunately. To summarize briefly, this spot leans to a more American taste rather than authenticity. We ordered pineapple fried rice, Mongolian beef (spicy), Mongolian eggplant and tofu (spicy), pork soup dumplings, shrimp chow mein, and combination sweet bao. The Mongolian eggplant, with all the hype from reviews and photos, was quite different compared to other spicy eggplant dishes we've had - dry and crispy instead of spicy and flavorful. We really wanted to love the food here especially with the staff being super attentive, but every bite was just underwhelmingly bland and there are plenty of other spots in Roseville with better soup dumplings. We had to mix their side spicy sauces with nearly every bite to add some flavor and spice... might've been even better with a dash of soy sauce as well. The combo sweet bao tasted as if they were from Ranch 99 or a local Asian market - didn't seem authentic or freshly made in-house. Local and want to order delivery? Skip door dash or any other 3rd party services. Order directly from their site (or call) and they'll deliver food to you at a cheaper price (or free, perhaps?). I'd recommend to try this spot for yourself and who knows? You might just like it. To each their own and your preferences might be different from ours! For us, this just wasn't it. Flavor and tastes were subpar and bland, menu items were flagged as spicy yet not a hint of spice to us, and nothing special stood out despite ordering a good number of dishes. Staff here is absolutely incredible, but I just wished their food was at the same level as their service. P.S. Look out for some tiny ducks hidden high along the walls! Cute idea read more

Cute place in a convenient location. I was running around doing errands and decided to eat before driving home this place got pretty good reviews on yelp so I popped in for a quick lunch, I'm not sure if the food is any good here or if I ordered "wrong" because I was very disappointed with my deluxe vegetable and steamed rice place. The service was basically 1 person running the whole restaurant so it was slow but serviceable. read more

Bambu Garden - Pretty place - Chinese Near Me - Roseville, California

In another Google and YELP source, I read that this restaurant is identified as serving Hunan cuisine. That is, for us with more international sophisticated palates, wrong. The food and ambience is enjoyable, no disagreement there. But even management and owners admit their menu style is Chinese American. For those of you inexperienced in cultural culinary distinctions, the application, proportions, seasonings differ. Chinese American versions emphasis cornstarch, lots of salt, heavy on soy sauce, sugar and sugary glazes and other short cuts to accommodate Americans just weaned from years of deep fried foods, basic seasonings and ButterBall turkeys. Yes, Bambu Garden is definitely one of top two Chinese American restaurants, and certainly with the nicest ambience. But best to understand the cooking distinctions influenced by China's different provinces and from Taiwan and Burma. Living in Roseville is no excuse to be gastronomically naive. In past I have given a 5 stars, but for the most recent visit it is getting a 4.5 stars mainly because service was not a great as previous visits. I had to repeatedly ask, then wait awhile for extra napkins, a sipping straw and another utensil. And no, the restaurant was not crowded. Being the nicest looking Chinese restaurant within zip code of 95678, I wish it could serve the traditional dim sum afternoon experience. Currently, each order is bulk quantity precluding the historical pleasure of ordering several choices with smaller quantities per each order especially for single diners. Ordering for a crowd is more logical as orders with bigger quantities can be shared by a crowd. The cosmopolitan dim sum experience is nonexistent in Placer County, but may eventually more restaurants will cater to those who want to upgrade dining experience. Some of us do not consider feet bare sandals, worn looking pants and mismatched tops as casual chic, more like country hick. Many of Roseville's newest restaurants have beautiful classy interiors which deserve better dressed clientele. read more

We had a group of seven peoples, three kids rest were adults. Our first time dining here, I got some tofu extra spicy, even requested for some chili oil because I love my shit hot As Fuck, yet still was not spicy hot. I gobbled down my food, it was pretty good, I needed some rice to eat the tofu with, also got a dr. Pepper. Maybe should have ordered more because I was not full, that we ended up getting some boba after our dinner read more

I was very disappointed in their crab wontons. They seemed underfilled, a little overfried, and didn't seem to have much crab. They were mainly cheese, and not like other crab wontons I've had. But most importantly the amount of filling was small. So I personally wouldn't order those again. But the people seemed friendly and the other food is good. But crab wontons are important to me. read more

First, they are not ADA compliant as they do not have wheelchair access. If you need assistance to get over the curb, you have to go to the other end of the shopping mall and around the corner; use the ramp down there, and walk/roll across the front of all the stores to get back to the restaurant. The ramp is so far away that you can't even see it from the front of the restaurant. After all that, they don't have wheelchair seating inside. Second, The servers were trying their best with what they have. Nice, energetic, and tried to be accommodating. Kudos to them. Third, The food was mediocre at best. I've had better from Raleys Deli department. One person's chicken and mushroom was all mushroom and salt. The honey walnut chicken was fried breading with sauce plus only 3 walnut halves. There was NO meat inside the breading! Were they out of chicken? The rice was obviously sitting out for a while, dry and bland. The chow mein was just noodles; greasy, no veg or meat in them and essentially flavorless. These 2 "meals" were $45.!!! I could have bought better food from Panda Express and paid $20. for the 2 meals. I was looking forward to trying something near to my new place. This was a grand disappointment. I can not recommend Bamboo garden, unless the recommendation is to stay away. I'll continue driving across town for good Chinese food from Rose Garden. read more

Yum! I pass this place multiple times and decided to give it a try! To start, if you use Apple Maps it will lead you in the middle of the plaza, just know it is right near safe way and to go left! Parking was a bit cramped, however easy to locate. I went on a Saturday around 5pm and they had a couple customers, pretty busy but still available tables out. They gave me a menu and the food choices were a bit expensive - possibly around $17-30 for a combo depending on what meat you choose. I believe it was about $20 to order shrimp. I ended up ordering the beef and broccoli combo. I had asked if I can order half fried rice and half chow mein, however this is not allowed. I got the chow mein and egg soup. The egg soup was so hot and delicious. Pretty flavorful and a good starting appetizer before my food was served. My combo plate came directly after. This food was great! I love when Chinese restaurants use a bit more five spice in their dishes, it makes the food more fragrant and that's exactly what this restaurant did! the chow mein was a bit bland and tasted of more jsut noodles but it is good for what it is. The egg roll was GREAT,came out hot and had a good amount of egg roll wrap and stuffing inside. I would definitely come here and try more! read more

The hubby was craving Kung pao shrimp so Yelp led us here. I ordered mushroom chicken, our lunch entrees came w/fried or white rice, a small salad and an veggie egg roll. The portion size was just right for lunch, not overly huge. The flavors were pretty ordinary, not much difference between the kung pao shrimp and my chicken. Nicely decorated dining room, attentive service. read more

Too much salty black bean sauce, rice is not fresh. Unusual serving a salad without dressing. Ambiance is good, service is satisfactory but food quality is substandard. read more

Got the food to go. The place was empty when I walked in, and the food took about 10 minutes longer than the pickup time which was annoying. But overall the food was good. They went light on the spice, so I'll have to ask for it spicier next time. It is in a very convenient location, so I will probably be back. They have a HUGE menu. read more

I was in Roseville and wanted a quick dinner but not fast food or a burger. I saw this Chinese restaurant and decided to see what they had besides the usual stuff. Bambu Garden is located in the Safeway shopping center around the corner of the building of Safeway. A friend had introduced me to tomato beef chow mein Hong Kong style. I saw this was offered on the menu here. I was here with one other friend and he ordered the Singapore curry noodles. Prices here seemed a little high, like $17.50 for the tomato beef and $16 for the curry noodles. I guess it's just the price of going out these days. The food arrives and it's all hot and looking good. After posing the food for pics, we dig in. The Curry noodles are spiced just right, not too much curry but enough so it's not bland. The tomato beef dish was sauced well and the flavor had just the right vinegar kick. The noodles were super crispy. All in all a good quick dinner and a little leftover to go. I'd eat here again if I was in the area. This food is way better than what I can get in Red Bluff, that's for sure. read more

We grabbed takeout from Bambu Garden this weekend. This was our first experience with this restaurant, and it was most positive. Our ordered was Black Pepper Beef, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce and White Rice. Everything was delicious and fortunately for us, the serving portions were very generous. The tender beef was sauteed in black pepper, yellow onion, bell pepper along with a pleasing sauce. Our Shrimp with Lobster Sauce included carrots, onion, water chestnuts and peas stir-fried in a wonderful sauce. I would order both again. Good value for your food dollar. read more

Ordered the Combo Szechuan Chicken (spicy) extra spicy. It had 0 flavor! Had to add soy sauce, salt, and red pepper flakes. Chow mein also flavorless. Also, chicken seemed to be missing. Chicken chow mein and Szechuan chicken combined had less than a breast's worth of chicken. Combo Mongolian Beef (spicy) had the same issues. To add insult to injury, both my husband and I were in the bathroom all night! So bad food and sick all night. Avoid this lackluster, sickening place at all costs! I will never order from them again. Should be called BAM!...poo instead of Bambu cuz if you eat it...BAM...poo!!!! read more

Came here on a random Sunday afternoon and ordered some salt and pepper chicken (dark meat) and beef chow fun to go. It came out to $40, including a 20% tip. Didn't have to wait too long for the food and the serving sizes were quite big. The chicken was super crispy and the chow fun had plenty of beef and the noodles were nice and chewy. I think the chicken could have had more flavor, but overall everything was good. read more

Going out for Chinese food is a special time my granddaughter and I share since she was 5; now 9. We tried bamboo garden about 2 years ago and we Love it! Staff are friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is always clean and relaxed. The food is outstanding, very fresh, and you can rely on it tasting as delicious as your time before. The last restaurant we used to go to changed. Sometimes it was good, other times it was bad. So we were very happy with our first experience at bamboo garden and I'm sure we've been there at least 25 times since! They are great to dine in or for to go. Granddaughter and grandmother approved! read more

Love the pandan buns! I always order to go & when I come to pick up my food, the employees are always so welcome and always say "thank you"!

I just picked up my order today. I ordered orange chicken. Sizzling rice soup that look like dirty dish water with a few vegetables and maybe three shrimp barbecue pork rice look dirty and very greasy. The crispy egg rolls were soggy very very poor quality. It cost me $76.99 so people in this area in the Highland reserve area don't waste your time going here go to teriyaki bowl which is around the corner down the street past Safeway way better food much better price quality is awesome. Food is warm and tasty. Don't waste your time and money at bamboo garden horrible food Especially when the soup looks like dirty dish water almost made me throw up and for $76.99 that's highway robbery. I hope they go out of business soon. read more

Bambu Garden - Receipt from Bambu garden - Chinese Near Me - Roseville, California

Let me start this review with the good, because there absolutely were good things about this restaurant. We arrived a little over an hour before they closed, and the restaurant was pretty empty, we were sat right away. The service started off fine, pretty much what you would expect, timely, nice, etc. nothing too special. We received our drinks, appetizers, and food in a nice amount of time, didn't feel like too long or too little. The flavor of the food was mostly good. Our appetizers were tasty (potstickers and egg rolls), and our main courses were decent. A big enough portion size for one or two more meals to take home. The chicken chow mein was very tasty, as well as the Mongolian beef and beef & broccoli. All had nice flavors that didn't come on too strong, but sat nicely Now for the not so good. It's true that most of the food was tasty, but some of it was also extremely bland. The orange chicken had very little flavor, and the BBQ pork fried rice was nothing special. All of the meat was very chewy, the flavor was good on some of it (as stated above), but the texture of the meat made it much less pleasant. Most of the people at our table ordered the combination plates (comes with soup), but it's extra for the sides, which is bizarre to me for a combination plate, but I looked past it. After we ordered, we were told that they were out of their special soups, so we just took the "combination" plate will all of the paid for sides. They did not do anything to accommodate for the missing soup. The inside of the restaurant itself is nice at a glance, but when you really start looking, it's older and getting dilapidated. Lamp shades were ripped, the leather seats a little worn and old. To only make matters worse, 30 minutes before they closed they started vacuuming the restaurant, with us there. Now I have worked in retail and dining, and this is NEVER acceptable in any place. If we were staying forever, and it was closing time, I would understand. This was not the case however. We were trying to be respectful and finish our food quickly, but they still rushed us out of the door. 30 minutes before they close. I was extremely disappointed, and probably would not come here again. read more

This is a hidden gem. We loved everything they served and the server brought me a cup of hot and sour soup when I mentioned I love it although I had my won ton soup already. They are in the Safeway center on Pleasant Grove and Roseville parkway. read more

Very nice restaurant...service is friendly and accommodating. Food looks good, is very tasty and the serving generous. The restaurant itself has a very nice ambiance! Why only 3 stars? Because even though they don't add MSG, it is in some of their pre-prepared sauces. I am extremely sensitive to this additive, and so had I had an intense reaction. But IF you are not sensitive, you will enjoy the food! This restaurant is excellent. BUT if you are allergic or sensitive, just be aware of this caveat. read more

Knocked off 1 star because although their food is really good, their POS system did not price the peking spare ribs correctly. It overcharged me $10. Supposed to be $19.99, rang me up for $29.99. Guy gave me back $10 cash refund. Didn't really equate with the tax, but whatever. I never tip on takeout because well, what are you tipping? Someone handing you a bag and incorrectly charging you? Don't think so.. But I do really like their food. Won't mean I won't come back here, I'll just need to check to make sure their price matches their menu - and YOU ALL SHOULD DO THE SAME! Back to food.....ordered their mongolian eggplant and tofu. This dish was bomb good. I'd get it again. Also got Peking Spare Ribs which was also really good. Ordered sauce on side for take out and it was yummy. I saved the extra sauce for something else I made with tofu and it was real good. read more

This restaurant has a nice ambience, booth seating and friendly service although it can be a bit difficult to understand staff. If you are a vegetarian stay away from this place. All there noodle dishes co rain oyster sauce. Their soups have chicken powder that is used in their broth. Their fried rice dishes contain egg which is normal. Other than steamed rice not a lot on the menu since they don't have a dish without oyster sauce. They had something with white sauce but could t understand if that contained any meat, fish, eggs, or gelatin. Very pricey too. We just left. I found a place near Galleria called Pho Vegan which was perfect. No meat, fish, eggs or chicken broth my wife was happy. read more

If you're looking for a delicious Chinese restaurant that makes lunch or dinner this is the place. Their orange chicken is a must-try; the crunch and flavor are absolutely mouthwatering. Each bite is a perfect blend of sweet and savory that keeps you coming back for more. I also highly recommend the chicken fried rice--it's a fantastic go-to that pairs perfectly with any dish. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you'll leave satisfied. The restaurant is also very clean and the staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help with your order or questions. read more

Our local go-to for fresh food and generous portions! Everyone is kind, friendly, and efficient! We like it a lot.

We have been here a bunch of times since my original review, 10 moths ago, with 5 stars. Some with excellent service & some with horrible. Worst being Christmas Eve, where they gave our order 2 hours late to another customer. After waiting at the restaurant for over 3 hours with a 5pm pick up we completely gave up. I DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND holiday orders!! NEVER AGAIN!! Next with the price increase I felt it was time for a proper update. This is an order of sweet & sour prawns & honey walnut prawns. Price increase wouldn't bother me if it was a decent amount of food. But now with the smaller portions, at this price, it's just ridiculous. These sizes won't even accommodate 2 or more people. Sadly the service & quality just are not matching the price. Only 2 stars from our saddened family. Guess we have to drive to the other side of Roseville for quality Chinese. read more

Definitely not impressed with the food. We ordered takeout. The decor in the restaurant was cute. But the food was extremely lacking. The potstickers were very undercooked, to a point they were inedible. The noodle dish we had was a weird flavor. The only item I enjoyed was the crab Rangoon. For the price I will try somewhere else next time. read more

Always delicious we frequent in the location and to go. Fast friendly and super yummy

I usually love this place but the service today was horrible and we found a hair in one of our dishes. Our waitress was rude, rushed us through ordering and wouldn't answer my question until slinging a bunch of sarcasm my way. She then came back to the table and began clearing our dishes while we were still eating! Normally my family and I LOVE this place, but after crappy and rude service with a sprinkle of hair in our meal we likely won't be going back. read more
