    $9.25 Wonton Soup
    Chris M.

    Thank you for being open! Hard to review this one because I only ate one item. Giving them a solid 4 stars. 4 stars Wonton soup. Wontons were decent and had some nice flavor. Veggies were good. Broth needs a kick of flavor.

    So oily and greasy

    Cash and card accepted. Lucky Bamboo is located in a small plaza next to Dollar Tree and offers a lot of plaza parking. It is Covid ready with screens and hand sanitizer and doesn't allow seating. I called in my order of Kung Pao shrimp, wonton soup, chicken chow mein, and egg rolls for pick-up on a Saturday afternoon and it was ready in 20 min. I paid $49 after tax and tip. Unfortunately this place gave me a stomachache and I don't know if it was from all the oil and grease or if the shrimp was bad. I would not recommend this place and will not go back.

    This place has changed ownership in the last few years and they've done a great job with their dishes. Everything that we had was flavorful and competitively priced. They also offer dinner menu options for 2 & lunch specials.

    Menu as of September 2023 - notice "Lucky Bamboo" isn't printed anywhere -

    We were looking for a Chinese restaurant in Seaside. We hadn't gone to this Chinese restaurant at this Fremont Blvd location in many many years. We realized it's changed hands since then. As we made the turn into the driveway we saw "Lucky Bamboo" signs facing the street side and as we walked up towards the restaurant we saw the sign "Juicy Crab". We were a little confused thinking it might be all seafood but thought we'd take a chance (I live for seafood, my other half does not). We were the only ones there for lunch. The tables were covered with white paper and we thought uh-oh, meant for cracking shellfish and crab! The dining area is as big as any fast food restaurant and had a large tv screen. The menu was about half traditional Chinese and half seafood - a lot of variety, and an abundance of pictures on the walls of their dishes. Service was quick, attentive and courteous and both our lunches off the lunch special menu were heaped generously with traditional Chinese cuisine including a fresh salad and soup. We were both happy to bring leftovers home. I would definitely come back and order from their seafood menu as well as try the other items offered. The only complaint (hence the 4 stars) is the place may have an "identity crisis" - are they "Lucky Bamboo" and/or "Juicy Crab"? We almost turned around and it might do the same for people with an aversion to seafood. Despite the signage we now have a good "new" Chinese restaurant in Seaside!

    Food was pretty greasy and lacked flavor. Portion sizes were great. The best thing on the plate was the chopsticks.

This time, my partner and I got the Sichuan cold noodles, fish soup with pickles, and eggplant in garlic sauce. The noodles are a great texture, and the sauce super flavorful with a little sweetness and numbing spice. The fish in the soup is super tender, cooked to perfection. The soup has a little spice, but it's mild and balanced with the pickled veggies. The eggplant has so much flavor, sweet and umami. We also love ordering the Dandan noodles, cumin lamb, and shredded potato. These dishes are very similar to ones we ate while visiting the Sichuan province in China. They offer all of the familiar favorites as well like chow main, fried rice, and Mongolian beef (but I highly recommend trying some specials). The service is friendly and efficient. The food comes out quickly. You can also easily order for pickup on their website. The inside of the restaurant is cozy with plenty of seating. I will continue eating here whenever I'm craving Sichuan flavors (which is often).

    Apparently, the policy at China Garden is simple: be white or receive no service…read more White customers were greeted, given menus, and served normally. We, Chinese tourists, apparently purchased the special invisible customer package. We asked for a menu and received no response. We tried to order additional dishes and were ignored again. It was impressive how quickly the owner could notice white customers while suddenly losing both hearing and eyesight whenever Chinese customers spoke. When we continued asking for basic service, the owner became aggressive and threatened in Chinese to slap a Chinese customer in the face. Then, in a remarkable display of hospitality, the owner blamed and accused the customer. Apparently, asking for a menu and trying to spend more money at the restaurant are now serious acts of misconduct. This was not merely slow or careless service. The owner treated Chinese customers differently, deliberately ignored us, bullied us, and then used a threat of physical violence to intimidate us. The owner seemed comfortable targeting Chinese tourists, perhaps assuming that visitors would remain silent because they were unfamiliar with the area. Calling this restaurant "China Garden" is the best joke of the entire experience. Chinese food, Chinese name, and open hostility toward Chinese customers. Perhaps "White Customers Garden" or "No Service for Chinese Tourists" would be a more honest name. Congratulations to the owner for creating a dining experience where discrimination and threats arrive faster than the food. If you are white, you may receive normal service. If you are Chinese, based on our experience, expect to be ignored, bullied, blamed, and threatened for having the audacity to ask for a menu.

    Great food. Quick service. Take out was easy. Found via reviews and it held up. Would recommendread more
