Food was flavorless! Worst Chinese food ever. 6 shrimp in the dinner portion, Mongolian beef was full of onion and green peppers. Will not be back read more

The food is really not much better than what I can buy, and heat up from the frozen section. It's all really bland, and whether you get orange chicken to the house special chicken, to the sesame chicken...it literally all tastes the same. read more

Pretty disappointed. Ordered delivery and it was pretty slow. The shrimp had not been cleaned before it was cooked and every piece had shrimp poop. Threw the whole meal away. read more

I've been going here for a while and never have any issues. However, today I did not receive the same service I normally do and was extremely unsatisfied. After my 15 minute $10 lunch, I decided to not leave a tip based off of my experience. After leaving, I realized I had left my keys behind so I called to make sure they were still there. On the phone, the employee stated that I had "left them behind because I was in a rush because I didn't leave a tip" and then proceeded to hangup on me. After arriving back at the restaurant to grab my keys, she continued to argue with us while holding onto the keys saying we're "always there and never leave a tip" which is simply not true. Even on pickup orders, I leave a tip so long as I have no issues. I try my best to be respectful to all employees in the service industry but she was unbelievably unprofessional. I'm extremely disappointed that this was my experience and am reluctant to eat there again in fear of her tampering with my food. read more

This is great local Chinese food. Delivery is very fast. They get 4 stars because delivery is not always available.

For $5 lunch comes w not so tasty egg drop soup ..Food is fine &has large enough portions to satisfy. Nothing spectacularily delicious but not terrible..Cheap quick Chinese...reminds me of YIPS in Manhattan. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Mongolian Beef lunch - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

See all

Where should I start? The customer service is great, order taking and happy people. But, I ordered on 10-30-20 for pickup. All was fine until we got it home. Our order was correct, as expected. We ordered Mongolian beef, chicken low main and wonton soup. The broth was tasty, I can give them that. BUT, INSIDE the wontons I found bones, not 1 or 2 but many. (I threw them out instantly)! Next, the other 2 dishes were so oily...we couldn't eat them and there was no flavor at all. I was so disappointed, hungry and mad all at once. We have been disappointed before and gave them one more chance. NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER OR SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY THERE! So CRN OR CIN. GOOD LUCK. read more

Had the Kung Pao Shrimp on my first visit and it really was no better than the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce at Golden Rice on Thunderbird. Nothing to write home about. Go to Abacus Inn on 59th Ave. instead. However, Bamboo's lunch special at $4.99 can't be beat. The staff is friendly and very attentive. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Kung Pao Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Been in three times now. First with Family, then two date nights. Noodle are always fresh and amazing. Service is OK. A ton of food for the money and its really good. Something is missing though on the atmosphere. But we still like going. read more

Good flavors but a little out of the ordinary. The orange chicken was very tasty but appeared to be pounded or cut flat before breading. Same with the sweet and sour chicken - very good taste, but flat pieces on which you pour the not bad sauce. The house special fried rice was better than average, as were the won tons. The egg rolls were thick on the wrap and thin on the contents. Also had some BBQ pork which was really good except for the half that was just pieces of fat. Bottom line is that you get a lot of food which is tasty at a reasonable price. Not the best Chinese, but not at all bad. Worth a try read more

This restaurant had quite a variety on their menu. I have been pleased with the food each time I have eaten at the restaurant and ordered takeout. I certainly recommend this place! The service was also quick and the server was friendly. He was very attentive and brought our food very shortly after finishing our appetizers. We sat on the side of the restaurant where one side was a booth type seat and the other side was a chair. The booth type seat was very uncomfortable and made it difficult to reach the table. Also, the table was a glass top with designs underneath. Gnats and other miscellaneous flying creatures worked their way into the designs but could not find their way out. A little gross while eating! Still, great place to eat! read more

We love there's a family-run Asian restaurant in the neighborhood. Never had a bad meal here and takeout is always prompt and tasty! My only negative is that they're playing it too safe with the recipes. But I suppose most Americans aren't down with tendon and ma la spice. :) read more

OLD MEAT!!! Need I say more. this establishment needs to have a food inspector visit ASAP. My family and I were very very sick to the point I went to the hospital and it was ruled out to be food poisoning. I knew the beef & broccoli tasted funny but I just figured it was the large amount of sauce they put on the food. Nope the extra sauce was to hide the old meat. I will never return to this establishment. read more

Horrible service. Slow, only one server for a full restaurant, he spent more time yelling at the cooks than serving those waiting for their food. Food was just HORRIBLE!! Only the Appetizers were edible. Food was sloppy and didn't taste good. We ordered three dishes and NONE of them were edible. We will NEVER go there again. read more

I usually order from this place but today was the last time. I ordered a shrimp and tofu soup and it did not have any shrimp.. just tofu..with eggdrop soup. I called back asking why my soup didnt have shrimp? I told her you gave me egg drop soup with tofu. Then she says let me ask the chef. She comes back and basically says this nonsense about why they are so stingy with the recipe and did not do anything to fix the order. All they did was tell me thats how the chef makes it deal with it. This is the description for the shrimp and tofu soup on their online menu. "succulent shrimp, scallions, tofu and snow peas in seafood soup." This place can suck my succulent balls. read more

Beware.... we have ordered there the last two times for delivery and it has taken over an hour!!! The place is 5 minutes away from our house! when I called to find out what was up they said the order was already sent out for delivery but they had multiple orders being delivered! Why in the hell wouldn't you deliver to the closest house first? And to top it off they already cashed in the tip because I mistakenly included it on the overall credit card payment! NEVER AGAIN! read more

So based off their average/above average review on Yelp, I decided to give these guys a try, considering there is a serious lack of Chinese food options in this area. Really, I can't review much, as I never even got to taste the food! These guys send coupons out EVERY single month in the mail. After we ordered over the phone, my wife went to pick it up. Upon arriving, she provided them the coupon in which they stated they wouldn't honor as it was expired. This was completely inadvertent, as my wife grabbed the wrong coupon from home. We had the unexpired coupon at home, but she grabbed the wrong one by mistake. After explaining this to them, they said the most they would give is half off the second entre. She walked out & that is that. Listen, I understand coupons expire and a business has a right to not honor them based on that. However, this particular business sends out a coupon EVERY SINGLE MONTH in a Valpak mailer. Clearly they get a large % of their business with them, so why the heck does it matter if if I give you an expired coupon or not. If you send something out once a year, I get it, you gotta honor the expiration date. When you send them out monthly, that is complete bulls***. So, not only did they lose our business today and waste the food they cooked (well, hopefully cooked), they will not see our business in the future. In addition, they get a negative review for anyone to review. Clearly they have ZERO clue how to run a business. read more

We absolutely love this place. I think we eat here about once per week. The staff is wonderful, it is clean and doesn't take too long for food. If you are hungry, order the dinner portions. They are HUGE and won't break your bank at all. Also try the Poke, I'm a huge fan! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi or Chinese(: read more

I tried this place one more time in hopes that it would be better than the first time and can't believe that it it has actually gotten worse. The prices aren't bad but that's because the food is awful. Yesterday's leftovers. There won't be a next time for me, I don't care at what price. Bad food and the staff is not very friendly either. read more

Great lunch special! Had he orange chicken and it was delicious. Coworker had been recommending it forever and finally tried it- definitely worth a visit read more

We ordered from the Bamboo Cafe about 3 weeks ago (sorry for the late post) and we loved it. The food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner. We recently move to this area and will definitely make Bamboo Cafe our to go Chinese restaurant. read more

I love this place it's a restaurant that I will visit multiple times and never get sick of it, great service as always and the food is always amazing. Keep up the good work bamboo! read more

Ordered food for delivery calamari and my egg roles were cold when we received the food. I only live like 5 min away from the restaurant so really shouldn't happen. My combo sweet and sour chicken was good big portions. Really the only reason I'm giving it a three is because the main meals were warm and good. Disappointed with the calamari and egg rolls tho. I was disappointed overall cause it's so close and I was hoping it would of been one of our spots. read more

We have been ordering from here for years. Very consistent, courteous and the best orange chicken ever.

This was such a disappointment. Flaming pepper steak had no peppers or taste at all. Sesame chicken was dry and orange chicken was dry too. I tried this place years ago and thought id give it another try. Save your money. read more

Tried this place for first time . Was the worst Chinese I ever had would not feed this food to my dog . It's not real Chinese food it's like the frozen food isle in a grocery store maybe worse than that ... Breaded chicken is not Chinese food and for sweet and sour chicken is bland and no fixings just breaded chicken like a chicken fried steak... sorry won't b back . It's also to pricey for bland fake Chinese and don't get Mongolian beef not sure what it really is. read more

We decided to give this a try after all the mixed reviews. Our first order was general Tao chicken, sesame chicken and orange chicken. We liked the orange chicken very much! It's been a while for us to find good orange chicken. It could be spicy in our opinion but it is still very good. The general Tao chicken had way to much celery ( which I hate). Other then that it's good but not very spicy. Sesame chicken taste ok. So if you are a orange chicken lover I for sure would give this restaurant a try. read more

This place is delicious! We were just passing through and decided to stop for a hot meal and did not regret it! Friendly staff and great food! The egg rolls are amazing and so is the Mor Wonton soup! Highly recommend! read more

We moved to the area a couple years ago and just haven't ordered Chinese takeout in a while. Tried this place about a month ago and were very happy. My son loved the Orange Chicken and I thought their Hot & Sour soup was really, really good! We will return:) read more

Hey Hey Az it's a gorgeous evening to sit out back with a cocktail and order take out ! This place is sure to entice , if you like spicy then Bamboo Cafe is for you . My favorite... spicy chicken friend rice and spicy orange chicken ! You can't beat the price and they deliver as always if you try it let me know what you think! Enjoy read more

I mean, this isn't the best Chinese food place in the world but it certainly isn't the worst. I ordered food Saturday night - Orange chicken with chow mein noodles substituted instead of rice ($3 extra) as well as sesame chicken. The orange chicken had great flavor. The chow mein noodles were great, not too oily as they often are at restaurants. The sesame chicken was eh but WAY WAY WAY too salty. It didn't taste anything like sesame chicken that I was expecting, more so simply chicken smothered in soy sauce. Overall, with tip, it costed $28. We had leftovers for lunch the next day for 3 people. It was an estimated 40-60 minutes for delivery and it came in 25 so that was definitely nice! Despite some of the reviews, I'd recommend trying this place out and deciding for yourself. read more

We went to this place for lunch because of the reviews on Yelp. We took advantage of their $4.99 lunch! I had the sweet and sour chicken with white rice and we were pleasantly suprised when it also came with egg drop soup! The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good! It wasn't too noisy or crowded which was nice and our server was very accomodating. I would definitely recommend! read more

Let me say the food tasted and looked great. However, beware that they use MSG in their food. If you have no sensitivity to MSG, then enjoy. However immediately after eating the food both my mom and I had horrible headaches, dizziness, and some numbness in the tongue (all documented side effects of MSG). I'm disappointed as I really wanted to have a decent Asian place on this far North side of town, but I cannot handle their food. Also, the place really needs a thorough cleaning, I understand casual atmosphere, but food crusted on the wall next to you or stains on the booths are not "casual" they are dirty. read more

I want to support my local establishments. This was the first time I was there. This is the saddest eating establishment. The vinyl on the chairs were ripped. The food was, how can I put it politely, Americanized so-called Asian-style, I-don't-know-what type of food. It definitely wasn't American-Chinese food that I'm used to. When I order tea in an American-Chinese restaurant, it should be Jasmine tea that comes in a pot - not in individual coffee mugs accompanied by a lemon wedge as though it were Darjeeling. But you know, the establishment was full of happy, satisfied customers. I couldn't stomach the food. Unfortunately, I won't be back there again until they update/fix their furniture, and actually serve American-Chinese food, not the bastardized weirdness they call "Chinese" food. read more

Our first time here was not a a good experience, food was very salty had very little chicken in our chicken dishes and had to keep swatting away flies from our food. We will not be returning. read more

First time ordering food from here. Cody on the phone was very pleasant and repeated our order back to me. Took a little longer than the 10 minutes quoted on the phone but no problem. The food was great tasting and still hot when my husband arrived home with it (live 5 minutes away). Portions were good sized; we will be able to get 2 meals from our dinner combos. Parking is limited but this is no fault of the restaurant. We will definitely going back!! read more

One of my favorite Chinese food places. The orange beef is a must try! If your in the area its worth stopping in for!!

Best Chinese spot in town, friendly workers and amazing food! Better than any other spot in Arizona.

Nothing blew my socks off here. We were actually the only people dining in here, so you'd think the service would have been top notch, but take out orders were all over the place. It's obvious the area likes this place for Chinese takeout, but there aren't a lot of options. The potstickers were really good, but the entrees were a little lackluster. I expected more flavor. It's good for a quick fix, but I'll drive the 20 minutes to our favorite place next time. read more
