I ordered a pickup for 715pm because that is when I was able to go get it. At 650pm I received a text that my food was ready and waiting. So of course when arrive at 713pm, it had been sitting on the baccounter and was cold. At first they were fine remaking the fried stuff that was ice cold. I said the other stuff was fine but the fried stuff needed to be remade. Then a woman came out from the back screaming and trying to blame me saying it was a 7 pickup. I have proof that it wasn't and if that's what they put in that's not my problem. My food is COLD. She came out twice more very aggressively saying she knows when this was done and would not allow me to speak. Then she and other employees were yelling VERY loudly at each other making me extremely uncomfortable. Incredibly rude and horrible customer service. Admit to YOUR screw up and fix it. I didn't pay for cold food. read more

Sad that it was completely empty in here, surprised them that I wanted to sit down. One employee even sleeping lol. Did not mind, it is a nice quiet place if you want to study. Egg Drop soup is good, and lunch special is great deal. Orange chicken was okay. Thai tea was yummy. Service not great, no music, tvs off. read more

My family and I get bamboo all the time it's our go to meal but something's changed the last two times we ordered. It's like they have new cooks or maybe new owners? Not sure we will be ordering here anymore read more

Ordered food at this restaurant. The gentleman receiving my order was somewhat rude. There were 2 phone calls he had answered asking them to hold. I ordered 3 entrees initially and when I attempted to order a Thai tea he said that he sold out yesterday. I then asked him if I can order a taro tea instead and he said that he doesn't have time to make them. Why even put the sign in front of the customer and cashier when you don't even want to make it for the customer. This is my first time here and they already had a bad first impression. The worst part was that I ordered take out and people who called around the same time as I did received there order before I received mine. I waited for a total 50 minutes inside their store for my food. Apparently someone called to order a Thai tea and he happily said they still have it. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Choice of tapioca drinks - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Delicious we are new to the area and it's raining, so we must have Chinese food! Placed our order online, super simple, and notifications were sent out. Awesome! The prices are on point for lunch. Serving size was perfect. Bonus..crab puffs! 2 of them! I was greeted by a friendly worker. We chatted about the rain. Very pleasant. There are a few tables set up to dine in. I can't wait to try something else! Super excited to find a gem like this and nearby! read more

Food is good. My second choice for Chinese food in the area. Not much ambiance but I normally do takeout anyway.

How often do you find a really good Chinese restaurant in the middle of Mexican restaurant haven in southwest Arizona? The sauces were excellent. The service was attentive. read more

I have lived near this area for over 10 years so I know this restaurant very well. We go there often and the owners are so nice and friendly! They have the best lunch special and they make it very quick which is nice when you aren't wanting to stay too long. You can't go wrong with any dish because they are all so good! My favorite dish is orange chicken and vegetable fried rice with chili paste on the side of course haha. It's just great Chinese food. read more

Great Chinese food. Affordable and big portions. My son loves the sweet and sour chicken... My favorite is the orange chicken. read more

The fried rice that I ordered to go came in a huge portion and when I got it home it was quite good. I also had the fried shrimp appetizer and it was quite good too. There was enough fried rice for 3 meals. I'll definitely go back and try other dishes. read more

I NEVER write reviews, but I had to go out of my way for this one. This is hands down the most authentic restaurant I've ever been to. You will only get quality food here. Fresh cooked vegetables (literally you can tell it's not even frozen, it's ALL fresh). I've only ever ordered through door dash, and this place never disappoints. 10/10 recommend. If anyone at the restaurant ends up reading this, I want to say THANK YOU. I'm such a diva about my food LOL, and you make it so right read more

Terrible experience with owner, she is rude and lied to my face while her employees sided with me. Stay way

Waited over an hour for my food and was barely acknowledged. Never even knew why it took one hour because of the lack of communication. When I got my food home which was only 10 minutes away, it was not even hot. Not a good experience at all for a first time customer. read more

Just moved into the area and found Bamboo Cafe. Very happy with the service and food. Good quality and portion size. Only take out is available right now. I would have given 5 stars but they need to clear some of the boxes and straighten up inside , it looked cluttered. Definitely will be going back soon. read more

I've always loved this place until recently. I've been making take out orders and picking them up since COVID. But recently I haven't been receiving the food I've ordered. It's just not in the bag. I've tried to call about it to fix it and get the food I paid for, but they make it seem like I can't unless the employee pays for it out of their own pocket. Just disappointed lately. read more

Orange chicken is amazing got me coming back like every other week. It's very sweet and orange flavored which I really enjoy!

Well decided to try this place, and it's a small place in a shopping center kind of tucked away in the corner. It's not very fancy, pretty laid back type of a place. My son and I were seated rather quickly honestly it was pretty empty. I ordered a glass of water and my son a fountain drink. My glass was gross, didn't look clean at all but I guess water stains. The waiter came took our orders chicken and broccoli and orange chicken. Our food came rather quickly, actually seemed like they just warmed it up or something... The chicken was rubbery the flavor was just so so. I actually had an upset stomach all night... Service was just ok... Won't be back. read more

It's ok in a pinch. The Godzilla egg roll is good. Everything else is ok. Nothing special but on just ok.

Go here for their lunch specials! Most to all meals are under $9 and the service is great. Gone here since high school with friends and family, can get crowded at times but the pic shows why.. read more

Bamboo Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Place is great for take out food if you're looking to pick something up. You can often times find coupons for free meals and discounts in the Valu Clipper and the local circulars. I've had maybe 5 different dishes here and the only problem I have is that they ALL taste the same. Whether its supposed to be a bland noodle bowl or a spicy Kung Pao dish, they all taste the exact same. Other than the lack of variety with taste, the restaurant is great to pick up food from. Beware of an odor that goes through the airducts and wall from the buisness next door if you are dining in. I've noticed the smell each of the three times I've eaten there and refuse to go back after the staff told me that it was from next door and they could not control it. It is not an odor you want to dine with... read more

Bamboo Cafe - Naked Kung Pao Chicken and the Cantanese Pan Fried Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

This is my favorite Chinese place because the food is not as overly-sweetened as most American Chinese places. The sauces are lighter and tastier than most. They have some REALLY great dishes like the Walnut Shrimp and Moo Goo Gai Pan. We order for parties all the time and those get eaten immediately. The portions are simply huge, and the quality is very good. Dine-in service was friendly and fast. Prices are decent. Delivery is fast and friendly. They say it will take 45 minutes and then show up in 30. read more

I love this place so much. Been going there for years. REALLY good food especially for the price, and the service. Who I presume is the owner, is this really sweet lady. Plus their dinner deals are amazing. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars because their food was delicious, fresh, fast, they have a large menu of options and it's family style which is awesome... plus there's not a lot of other restaurants nearby so this is a great local choice if you're tired of fast food and don't want to drive 15-20+ minutes to find more options. Very friendly and fast service and good sized portions for the price. The chow main was the most garlicky and delicious I've ever had, Kung Pow chicken was very delicious and not like Panda Express because this one tasted lighter and more healthy, the chicken was cooked perfectly, not over cooked and dry, not over breaded either. Egg rolls were amazing too!! I'm honestly shocked the current rating is 3.5 stars, we almost didn't try this place because of that but I'm glad we did. read more

It has been a very long time since we have ordered delivery or had even mediocre Chinese food! Or had any good food anywhere but home. I am happy to have found this place! Timely and honest. I tried to pay cash (forgot I apple payed) and the delivery guy would not take it. Nice he didn't assume it was a tip. Thank You! The crab cheese puffs are the best I've ever had. read more

The service is absurdly courteous and the food is nearly immediate. The quality of the food is always consistently good and the affordability makes it a frequent visit for my friends and I. If you like cheaper Chinese food and want to be thoroughly full after eating, this is a good restaurant for you. read more

We have been going here for years, service is fast and friendly food is great quality with large portions and affordable priced. We have recently started getting delivery as well with the see quality read more

This is an amazing restaurant. Truly enjoyed the food. The staff are very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Had the wor wonton soup and Mongolian beef. Soup was great and filled with lots of good stuff. Beef dish was good but much more typical American/chinese cuisine read more

Such a hidden gem! I have been coming here for over 6 years and it has never let me down! Such good sized portions and the food is always delicious! Example: Huge order of orange chicken(comes with 1 crab puff & 1 spring roll)+noodles+white rice+crab puffs=$17! Can't beat it! read more

3 times and I'm disgusted and done with this place! First time the delivery guy threw a fit for not getting a bigger tip (they charge for delivery already) and they forgot an entree. Second time was bland and not good but we lack choices over here and now this time I found a FINGER NAIL in my food and they took no responsibility. The owner wouldn't call me back and the guy on the phone said he asked the staff and they said they didn't cut a nail off. I am absolutely disgusted by Bamboo Cafe!Don't waste your money or time with this place. read more

Just wanted to thank the restaurant for taking precautionary measures to keep our neighborhood safe!! Thank you for the good food and hospitality. Please come check this place out when they open back up!! It's a really cute spot to enjoy good Chinese food and support your local small businesses. HIGHLY recommend ! read more

Terrible! Mongolian steak had no flavor surprisingly and the "fried rice" was not fried rice, it was a little brown again with no flavor. Kung Pao Shrimp was the same way and tons and tons of peppers and onions in both dishes. We won't be back sadly I was excited to have Chinese for Christmas as I did that for years in NYC read more

Place is not what it used to be! Dirty, run down & food is lacking any flavor but not bits of bone or gristle. Staff is nice, that's about it. Tables had food stuck in glass tops, walls splattered with food or peeling wallpaper. Got lettuce wraps and bit into what felt like a sandy clump, did not finish it & did not feel well after. Kids got beef and broccoli and meat was chewy and they didn't feel good afterwards either. So sorry it used to be our local Chinese go to! read more

The Walnut Shrimp is devine! Love this place and come here every time I'm in Phoenix :)

My favorite Chinese restaurant ever! Food is great, delicious, always fresh, and comes super fast! People who gave this place less than 5 stars were expecting something else when they ordered, but they clearly were not paying attention - - the menu has very clear descriptions and pictures. They just had preconceived ideas about dishes, probably from going to Panda Express too much! Service is always fantastic. Ken, the waiter, is always helpful, friendly, and efficient. The hostesses are also great. I appreciate that the owner hires young adults to give them a chance for a first job. The restaurant itself is super cute with nice decor. There are a couple of TVs, great for when there's a lull in the conversation. Recommendations: crab puffs, general tso's chicken, Thai spicy rice noodles, walnut shrimp, pineapple fried rice (or yang chow fried rice for everything except the pineapple) read more

We ordered sesame chicken, Mongolian chicken, fried rice and egg rolls. The sesame chicken was disgusting. It tasted like it was fried in old grease. I ate a few bites and the chicken was like chewing chicken jerky. The Mongolian chicken was the same. It was old chicken. The fried rice was rice with soy sauce. It had no eggs, peas or carrots. I could have gone with the white rice and stirred in my own soy sauce and not pay extra cost. The egg rolls were not fully cooked and were chewy. We have eaten here in the past and the food has been great. This will be our last time eating here. read more

This rating is based on the sweet and sour chicken dish. The sauce was extremely thin and virtually tasteless. The chicken was breaded and appeared to be pan fried like a burger king chicken sandwich, then cut into a few long strips. The vegetables seemed like they were frozen because they had absolutely no flavor. The pork fried rice had good flavor and was on par with other restaurants. read more

I was extremely disappointed in the taste and quality of this food. If I could give negative stars I would. There was absolutely no flavor. My kids were crying because they were hungry but this food was not edible. I spent my last $60 getting them some food. I will never eat there again. They should be closed down. Horrible, horrible food!!! read more

Love the food and service. Generous portions and fresh. Definitely not cookie-cutter Chinese food.

They are now located at 67th and happy valley in the frys shopping center, they have great lunch specials.
