    Came here for Chinese New Year, and it was busy! Busy is good and expected for the holiday. We were still seated right away and got straight to our dim sum exam! We got some dumpling favorites, har gow, steamed pork bun, Singapore noodles, pork chops, egg tarts were flakey and delicious. Service was good and lots of free plaza parking.

    The food is excellent -- generous portions, great flavors, and fair prices. The atmosphere and decor, however, could really use some improvement. The place feels quite dark and outdated, a bit depressing honestly. I only went because my daughter already knew it; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have stopped by. Service was friendly, but about 10 minutes before closing they started giving those "time to leave" looks -- a bit rude, but oh well.

    Casual ambiance restaurant. Service was excellent everything was good. Got what was called a house special and to me it was a Pu Pu platter with spare ribs chicken wings spring rolls and shrimp and pork fried rice it was really delicious made with everything fresh tea was excellent but the Mia Ties could use a little more alcohol . But the food was good

    High prices, Dim Sum was just ok, bland. Was out of Baked Pork Buns, the Shumai was good. Service was excellent. I love Dim Sum, but not sure if I would go back

    A piece of Brillo pad

    The people are extremely rude and usually I'm fine w that as long as the foods good. But the food felt like everything was frozen and just steamed up so nothing is homemade. It's lowkey expensive for such below regular food quality. My sister in law ate a steamed shrimp dumpling and she found a long piece of metal from a Brillo pad they use to scrub dishes. At first they were like oops sorry nothing we can do about it but my sister in law had cut the inside of her throat cause she almost swallowed the metal and so they decided to give her a discount ONLY because she had said something. Even then they were kinda rude about it like it was her fault she found a metal shred in her food. I would personally never come here again but if you do just be very careful of the food you eat. They said this happens sometimes so I know it's not the first time this has happened

    On Friday night our restaurant club from the Valencia Sound development in Boynton Beach took all the captains to dinner here. We were 20 people seated at 2 nicely sized round tables. This is the perfect seating arrangement for large groups. The restaurant is pretty and clean. We basically had one waiter who was amazing- nicely mannered and patient as he took orders for drinks, appetizers and entrees from all. It's impressive to listen to individuals who have special dietary issues express their wishes and how the waiter handled them. He made everyone happy. The menu offered a nice variety of items from which to choose. I was able to get a healthy chicken and vegetable dish in a light sauce. All the menu items were generous portions. The bbq ribs were large and beefy. Excellent flavor. But most people agreed that on the whole the food was not flavorful enough. Basically very bland. The entrees are served with your choice of white, brown or fried rice. The prices are very fair though. We were surprised that for a Friday night at the tail end of "season" that the restaurant was not crowded. Maybe it's the specific location in West Palm Beach - not the tourist section. In any case we rated the place a 3.9 out of 5. Service and price were great but food is the most important factor.

    Name it, we ordered it

    I have a friend who's a passionate foodie, just like me, and he recommended Singing Bamboo. It's an unassuming, dark, and simple indoor dining room with comfortable seating. We were a group of six, all interested in trying a Chinese restaurant that offers the kind of authentic experience we're used to in New York City's Chinatown. Singing Bamboo most definitely did not disappoint us. We ordered appetizers and entrées to share, including their spareribs and dim sum. The Chinatown vibe was very much alive here. We also enjoyed a variety of other dishes, such as fish, chicken, and pork, all of which were delicious. The value and service were outstanding. We were pleasantly surprised to find a Chinese restaurant here in Florida that captured that classic NYC Chinatown feel so perfectly.

    Restaurant is still up and running. Food is good as I remembered. Service is fast but not too friendly. Always is a rush rush speed service at all times. Talk fast and move fast. Restaurant is in serious need of a facelift. Looks very outdated. Overall the food is still delicious and this is why I still come here. The roasted duck and dim sums are my favorite along with the Mongolian Beef.

    While waiting for a delayed flight from PBI we chose Singing Bamboo mainly for its somewhat proximity to the airport and it was a good choice. The restaurant looks and feels like a vintage outer borough NYC Chinese restaurant but with a Dim Sum menu and combine that with a full bar and all is good. Even better because the drinks were cheap, the food is inexpensive and service was fine. We tried a variety of dumplings and all were freshly made and we enjoyed the Shumai and the Vegetable Dumplings. We also went with waitress recommended items that included house favorite Beef Chow Fun and Chicken with Broccoli and both were good and better than most area Chinese Restaurants and one reason is the sauces used were not heavy and full of oil or starch. Also the ingredients seemed fresher. I'm not sure this is a restaurant to go too out of the way for but if anyone lives or happens to be nearby then it's a good choice.

    We had a great time here on Christmas Day. Apparently you could make a reservation but we still were seated as a walk in. We came in later (around 7:30PM) and had to wait around 30 minutes to be seated. It was packed. A lot of large tables full and staff were running around a lot. They looked short handed since tables weren't being bussed and turned over quickly but we knew this place would be a zoo on Christmas Day. Our food came out almost immediately after we ordered. We probably sat at the table a shorter amount than eating. But per the usual I loved my beef chow fun. And the beef broccoli was yummy too. We were able to split the bill but they charged my card twice by accident. I called about it later and they were nice and tried to explain so I had my friend Venmo back the money to me (no problem). I understand accidents happen. This place is very casual so even on a holiday people were dressed down.

    We had a really good dinner here. We were greeted immediately on entering and seated right away also. Service throughout was prompt and friendly. Inside is clean and bright. After reviewing the regular menu, we noticed that it said to request the dim sum menu, if interested, so we did. We started out with soup. I had their wonton soup, and the bowl was brimful of thin pork strips and egg strips along with stuffed won tons and scallions. The broth was tasty -- not too salty. My husband got their hot n sour soup. He said the flavor was good, but he usually likes more "stuff" in his soup, so he added a bunch of crunchy noodles. We filled up on soup, so we just decided to order a few dim sum items to share. They give you a dim sum menu list to mark your order on and a sheet with photos of each item. We got their scallion pancakes which were served fried hot off the stove along with some hoisin sauce for dipping. They were flat, thin and crispy and very good -- and we wound up taking half the order home. We also had one of our favorites -- turnip cake. This isn't really made of turnip but is made from a Chinese radish and rice flour. It is pan fried, so it has a golden-brown crust-like layer on the outside and a soft center. There are sometimes bits of pork in it for extra flavor. An acquired taste that I have grown to love. In addition to those two items, we got an order of steamed BBQ pork buns. These are fat, white, round sweet dough breaded balls with sauced BBQ pork inside. They remind me of my childhood when my dad used to get these for my brother and me. The dim sum list is long and there are quite a few other items I would like to try. Plus, the regular menu has a number of standards and favorites, as well. We are definitely coming back to this restaurant!

    Located on the West side of Military Trail, this is an Asian Cuisine stop you won't want to miss! Plenty of parking in the strip center. We were greeted by the hostess and walked over to a nice table. Our server came over right and took our drink request and offered to answer any questions as we looked over the large menu. They also have a Dim Sum menu on request. We ordered from the Dim Sum menu. The Hot and Sour Soup was very good, our server brought over a dish of hot oil in case I wanted hotter ... it was just the right heat level for me. We shared some Scallion pancakes, Turnip cakes and Barbecue Pork buns. A well lighted and welcoming interior, this is a nice family restaurant with great food.

    Shrimp in Lobster Sauce
    Zoe C.

    One of the best casual Chinese restaurants I have been to in South Florida. I did takeout and everything I ordered was fantastic. The Hot and Sour Soup was delicious and spicy (medium), as was the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. The Shrimp Rice Rolls were also incredible. My new go-to Chinese place!

The standout dish was definitely the beef and Chinese broccoli -- it ended up being everyone's favorite.

The staff is not knowledgeable about the menu, and we asked if they would make a pretty standard dish not listed and was told no without asking the kitchen.

Eggroll: pretty small and ok Pan fried dumplings, well done: barely fried, the filling while tasty has so much filler you couldn't tell what type of meat was actually used as it was a pale light color! Chicken w/ eggplant in garlic sauce: we said no extra heat so it came out w more of a bland brown sauce, no garlic, not much flavor. Oh well...it's ok for American Chinese cuisine.

My family and I come here often for dim sum and celebrate Lunar New Year here every year. The service is always warm and attentive, especially from Sue, and we always leave happy, completely stuffed, and usually carrying leftovers. Their menu is extensive, and I have yet to order anything I didn't enjoy. My dim sum favorites include the sticky rice with lotus leaves, chicken wings, siu mai, preserved egg and congee, steamed dumplings, fried shrimp balls, sesame balls, and pan fried turnip. You really can't go wrong with anything on the dim sum menu. Everything is made fresh, arrives hot, and is consistently delicious. For Lunar New Year, we order the whole steamed fish with scallions and ginger. It is perfectly cooked every time, flaky, moist, and full of flavor. We also love the roast chicken and duck, General Tso's chicken, and the pan fried seafood noodles loaded with scallops, shrimp, and calamari. Even the fried rice is a standout. This year, we placed an order ahead for the whole lobster and devoured it. I've heard they may be relocating when Whole Foods moves into the plaza, so be sure to stop in soon or follow them for updates. This place is truly a gem worth supporting.
