    On top butter shrimp and orange chicken  bottom Fried rice with chow mein.
    Jon M.

    From the last time I went here it seem like there more seating. But I can't go wrong with this place for a quick bite to eat when you're not feeling the other fast food spot near you. The staff is very friendly and there always someone in line ordering something to go or to sit down. But this my spot for the butter shrimp it reminds me of that panda palace back in the day down Oak St.

    Tried Bamboo cafe for the first time and got a 1 item combo. Although I liked the flavor of the orange chicken, the texture of the chicken was inconsistent. Some pieces were chewy and some though. I did like their chow mein and rice. The service was fast and friendly and the portion was a decent size.

    When you pull up their windows are covered with their advertising and you can't really see inside. Please don't let that stop you though, the smells that smack you in the face the moment you open the door is insane. They were putting out fresh food as we were walking in and it looked very appetizing. We went for my husband and I had no plans on getting anything, but the smells got me. The service was amazing and the restaurant was immaculate. I got the orange chicken, beef and broccoli and the mushroom chicken. The cuts of meat were huge and just covered in sauce, husband got black pepper beef, BBQ chicken, and the kung Pao chicken. He said it was delicious and enjoyed all of it. Now the chow mein noodles are thicker than I like but the flavor was nice. It was so much food that we will have dinner, lunch and dinner again for the next day. Best fast food Chinese food I've had recently. When we are in the area we will definitely go back. It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the food, next time for sure.

    If you're looking for a spot with the friendliest customer service where you're treated like family, this is the place to go! They offer a huge selection of dishes, and everything is incredibly fresh. Plus, they pack your plate generously! I ordered the BBQ pork, shrimp with vegetables, and beef with green beans--each dish was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My husband got the BBQ pork, black pepper beef, and garlic chicken. We couldn't help but share bites from each other's plates because everything was so good! I'm already eyeing the wings for next time since they looked absolutely scrumptious. They even have soup to complete your meal! With savory, satisfying food, great prices, and large portions, you definitely won't regret stopping by. Best of all, if you can't make it in person, they're available on Uber Eats and DoorDash. Delicious food brought straight to your door--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!

    Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Old Oil taste, Chow Mein tasted like fish and noodles were doughy! Every single piece of chicken in Kung Pao & Orange Chicken was wobbly, greasy, grissely and tendons! More celery and dried hot peppers in Kung Pao than chicken! Like a whole stalk of celery! Horrible...Horrible...Horrible food! I've never written a review on here before, but this experience warranted for an honest review to warn people!

    Always very fast and super friendly staff. Food is great and made fresh to order like the potstickers or spring rolls. It's always busy, so that's how you know it's really good.

    Super bland food, Greasy ass eggrolls cheap for a reason do not come here bro . No flavor at all, came here starving and the orange chicken tasted like nothing

    This is a convenient point n pick Chinese fast food restaurant with the usual choices of steamed rice, fried rice, and ir chow mein accompanied by orange chicken, mushroom chicken, buttered shrimp, beef broccoli and so on. We were rushed through our ordering process and I must say that usually when we visit a Chinese fast food they double up your servings of rice and chow mein to cut on the other food items but not here, they hardly offered any extra on the rice and chow mein and seemed to monitor how much meat to vegetable ratio they served you. As a foodie, I was disappointed by this experience and the restaurant.

    If you are looking for a dark and calming atmosphere for a celebration, this is the spot. I came…read morehere for a friend's birthday and the decor really set the mood. The wine wall is a standout feature and makes for a very interesting backdrop. The Main Event: Crispy Fish Tacos: The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the fish tacos and they were served on a blue corn tortilla with pickled onions on top. The crunch was perfect. The Salsa: It had a serious kick, but the flavor was so good that I could not stop adding more to every bite. The Sides: I have never had rice like this. It was incredibly moist and flavorful. The beans were also a hit and were cooked just right. The Table Consensus: My friends ordered the carnitas and a salmon dish. Every plate was licked clean. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality is definitely there. The Service: Initially, the service was great. They kept our waters full without us asking. However, as the night went on, our server became a bit less attentive. The Finale: We finished with the cheesecake. To be honest, it was just okay. It did not live up to the high bar set by the entrees, so I would probably skip dessert next time. Know Before You Go: This place is perfect for a group that values atmosphere and high quality Mexican cuisine. Just keep an eye on the clock if you need quick service toward the end of your meal. Overall, it was a great birthday experience and I would definitely return for those tacos.

    Ambiance- wow, love the new interior, new building- cute decor. It is a bit too noisy…read more Service-Valerie our server was promote & took our drinks Foods taquitos de rez was ok. The taquitos were crunchy and the beef was moist and very tasty and flavorful. The salsa dip was good & spicy. My Cadillac margarita was good. The glass size was too, short/small because I like to pour my gran marnier into my drink. I look forward to another visit and fast another food item.

    I ordered the Chili Verde Burrito. Had the toppings I wanted. The Burrito was great…read more The guy who made it was very nice, very talkative, and very happy. No ambiance at all. The place is inside a gas station mini-market. HOWEVER, the Burrito was not worth the $12 price tag that went with it. The Chili Verde had great flavor, but cost $12. The pork in the Chili Verde was very tender, but cost $12. The ingredients added to the Burrito were fresh, but cost $12. The Burrito was half the size of other ones I have paid the same price for and they were worth the $12. This one was not. I have paid $150 for a meal, and not complained, but I want what I pay for. When my mind continues to think of the price I pay for something, it must not be worth it. I do not know whether or not to recommended this place. The food is good. The prices are not.

    I've been coming to this location since it opened. Conveniently just done the street from my house…read moreand always pleasant staff and food. I have had breakfast burritos, Chile Verde burritos, Tortas and TACOS!!!! Some of the best Al Pastor tacos in the city! EVERY SINGLE TIME I've eaten here I've very much enjoyed my food! They always get it exactly right and they are SUPER fast about getting the orders out. Staff are always nice and attentive, even if it's only for 1 taco...Haha, yeah right, I didn't get 1 taco ever! These are SO good!!! Building is always clean, kitchen usually looks spotless, even during food prep hours and food bar ingredients always look fresh! If you haven't been here for the food, YOU ARE MISSION OUT!!! Please give it a try... Pro tip...Remember to ask for avocado on those tacos, it's life changing! Lol, sometimes they have to steal the avocado from the Subway person, that's next store...lol, they always get the stink eye while they're carrying that avocado away!!!
