came here during the Lunar New Year festival, for a family dinner. The picture tells it all. The food quality was good and the service was efficient. The place is clean a lot of people throw weddings and birthday parties here. If you and Brooklyn, I recommend that you come to give it a try read more

The food is pretty decent but the female server cutting the duck was so attitudey. I took photos of just the duck and instead of clamly asking if I got her face in it, in an accuastory manner, she asked me not to film her. The duck was so small. The nest of the bird's nest was soggy and not too crunchy. But the taste of the duck was good. read more

We came here for dim sum in the morning and then dinner at night. For dim sum, it was very packed and had to wait 15-30 minutes for a table. Make sure you listen carefully for your number. The flavor for most of the dim sum foods were very nice. Sometimes, you would have to flag them down to get what you want. Be on a lookout of those carts going around. For dinner, we reserved a room, which they told us in advance that we had to order at least $450 worth of food if I'm remembering correctly. Everything we got was delicious and the service was very nice. They would come change our plates every once in a while. read more

Staffs were friendly. We went as a big group for a private party. Food was good. There are plenty of tables and seats to dine in. The bathroom is located near the back. They have a private room in the back if you need a private event, however you will need to reserve ahead of time. read more

Recently my family and I have been ordering dimsum at Bamboo Garden because it is so expensive elsewhere and it actually taste pretty good here. The quality of dimsum around 8th Ave has gone down drastically and the price just keeps going up. The price has gone up at Bamboo Garden as well but it is nice to know the quality stayed the same. Some of our favorite dishes from here are the spare ribs, beef rice roll and the shrimp stuffed peppers. Definitely will be back and will be a regular at this spot! read more

We went in as a big group, was taken to a separate room to dine. The only down side of this is that we didn't experience the cart ladies going around us, we had to order everything on paper and give it to the waitress. Also because that day there were really busy. But over all the food was good. Service was alright. read more

My party came in on a Friday night for dinner. We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is spacious, the food is presented nicely, and the wait staff were attentive and worked efficiently and quickly. The best dishes we had tonight were the "seafood in a nest" and the braised tofu. The few complains from the dining party were that 1. a couple of dishes (the sweet sour pork and beef short ribs) were cold when it got to the table 2. the sizzling chicken (which was dry like it's been left out for a while) and the sweet and sour pork had an off taste to it, kind of like it's fermenting 3. The beef short ribs had meat but were mostly fat and connective tissue. read more

On Christmas Day, Chinatown is always busy since they don't close. We came here with a party of four around 1pm and got seated immediately, what a pleasant surprise. As soon as we sat down, we ordered our tea and the dim sum carts quickly came around. Everything was delicious, although some carts never made it towards us. We were still very full after ordering multiple items. In addition, we also ordered a BBQ Pork Rice Plate Combo ($9.99) separately on the made to order menu. There wasn't as much meat to rice ratio for this plate, but still a solid meal. Overall, great dim sum spot along 8th Ave. it's busy, but not as overly crowded as some other bigger dim sum spots. read more

A great spot for dimsum in Brooklyn Chinatown! We usually frequent a different dimsum spot in this area, but the wait was expected to be 60mins. We walked here, and were seated within 5 minutes! It has the traditional cart service with your standard favorites, along with some fun innovative buns (piggy custard bun, walnut buns, sesame mochi buns)! read more

I think this place was recently renovated. It was big! We were able to get a table right away on a Saturday. The food was good, especially the roasted duck. The waiter/chef sliced the duck in front of us making it look so fancy. Duck skin was the best part which was crispy. Everything was good except the salty egg buns. read more

The reason that I gave 2 stars is the foods are 10 times better than park Asia. The waiter put us to share a table with other strangers without asking - this is not acceptable. In American restaurants you don't do that. Food is pricey at least $6 per dish this is expensive. You can get a bag of dumplings from supermarket. $25 for 4 plates. No more. read more

Typical dimsum spot in this area. I would say my favorite dishes are the sui mai and the bean curd roll. The cart ladies are helpful here and the wait is not long even on weekends. The table cloth is really a disposable table cloth so I think this place is cleaner than others. Otherwise everything is very standard for this area. TIP: Paying with cash is no tax. read more

Came here for a small wedding banquet. My husband's cousin got married in California (big wedding) but held a small banquet here in Brooklyn for those of us that couldn't make it to the West Coast. This would be my second time here at Bamboo Garden for a wedding banquet. I had hope that the food and service improved from the first wedding banquet I attended back in 2016. Food indeed has improved and it still have the typical Chinese hospitality service. We were in the smaller room, to the side of the main dining hall. There was another wedding banquet that night along with a few open tables for the public as both banquets were not big to book the entire restaurant. Restrooms located in the back, there was a door in the back of our room as shortcut to the restrooms. No paper towels available. There was only a few outstanding dishes as everything else was a typical banquet dishes that represent certain things. Long noodles represent long life. Fish represent happiness and etc... read more

Both the parties earlier this year and at the end of the year were held at the same banquet restaurant. However, the food quality was worlds apart -- it was like night and day. The dishes at the first event were praised, but for the year-end party, almost everyone said the food wasn't good. read more

Visited with family for dimsum during a weekend morning so there was a bit of wait for seats. But the turnover seemed pretty fast as we didn't have to wait too long. The feng zhao was decent, the flavor wasn't as strong and as spicy as other ones I've had. We also had the shrimp cheong fun, ha mai cheong fun, dim sum, har gao, lava custard buns, mini egg tarts and chrysanthemum jelly. The desserts were my favorite. We didn't try anything else but it does look like they offer peking duck and buns as we saw another table order it. By the entrance, roast meats are sold. It also looked like a lot of people can place lunch box orders there as there was a guy who placed an order for 40 lunch boxes as I was leaving. read more

Absolutely one of my favorite place to grab dim sum! I always come here with my family. Since there is so many of us, we book ahead of time and request a VIP room in the basement. Regardless of what and how many dishes we order, food and service is fast and fresh! Having a room is different because there is no one pushing the cart around. You simply check the items you want on their paper menu or request specific dishes with your waiter. read more

My go to dim sum, bbq meat and Chinese dinner spot. Why? Because it fits everything I want/expect from an authentic Chinese restaurant. Starting from enter - long wait lines, super loud from the abundance amount of people, the cart ladies yelling out the food options, the "rude" customer service because you speak too softly and they cannot hear you and they tell you to speak up but you don't so you're wasting their time, etc. Newcomers don't realize this culture and uniqueness to appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, customer service is important but if you don't speak their language, you won't understand what they are really trying to tell you. Being here brings back so many memories of childhood. I've visited more modern dim sum restaurants and it's not fun. It doesn't bring this experience. You order from the menu and get your order. There's no ladies pushing the cart. The restaurants are quite. It's definitely more western. That is not the experience you want entering dim sum. You might as well get take out if you want it quiet. You'll read the complaints from other yelpers and it's quite ridiculous of a read. All the employees have their own sense of humor and personalities that are displayed when they show their food and do their job. Their job isn't easy. They don't get paid the big bucks. Don't be rude to them just like you wouldn't be rude anywhere else you go. Their English is limited. Besides the entertaining richness of the culture in this restaurant, the food. As any location, the closer you get to closing time, the food options become less. Same goes for weekdays vs weekends. That's how restaurants produce less waste. They make their food daily. So expect food to run out. Expect it less fresh at 2pm vs 9am. Every time I fly back to nyc, this is where I always go first to fulfill my Chinese food cravings. Because there is not one dish here that can go wrong. Great quality Everytime. Now with reservations and the private rooms, you obviously have to spend more to get a private room. That's a no Brainer anywhere. Downside about the private rooms are that you don't get to experience the loudness upstairs and the cart ladies. But if you just want to enjoy a meal with you friends or family then downstairs is best. They also have karaoke downstairs in each rooms. Besides dim sum, my go to for bbq meat items. Always made fresh daily. Always perfect. Moving into dinner, you really can't go wrong with any dish. Clearly from my photos I eat here a lot. I don't do many repeats but this one is my expectation. For all those negative reviews where they say the food is 5 stars but the "customer service" wasn't good, you don't deserve to come here. You're better off eating at western location. read more

I love the dimsums here. My go to when craving dimsums. It's next to Fei Long Market. Good selection of dimsums. They also have a take out area when you come in through the entrance. No need to come to the restaurant to order some dimsums to go. read more

I came here for dim sum, not to be cast in the next season of CSI: Chinatown. The food was fine-ish, but I couldn't tell you much about it because I spent the entire meal being intensely stared at by one of the workers. I'm not talking casual glances--I mean full-on, "I know what you did last summer" energy. Every time I picked up a dumpling, they looked at me like I was committing a federal crime against shrimp. At one point, I dropped a piece of shumai, and I swear their stare got sharper. I half expected them to pull out a notepad and start documenting my eating habits. By dessert, I was sweating more than the teapot. Great place if you enjoy the thrill of eating under surveillance. Otherwise, maybe try anywhere else. read more

Can I start by saying that I am really happy this restaurant exists? It's a very traditional Cantonese style restaurant that is hard to find nowadays. They have dim sum all day which is always a plus. I came here and got the Mah Lay Goh Rolls and also the Mah Lai Goh (Brown sugar) cake. Both were delicious but I personally prefer the Mah Lay Goh Rolls. I would come back here to try more of their dim sum if I'm ever in the area. It's right by Fei Long Supermarket. read more

Not only does this place sell dim sum, they also have roast duck, chicken, and roast pork for takeout. I got my lunch here for $11 and it could easily be split for two. Service is no frills. The chicken was smooth and juicy. The roast pork was very good and not too fatty. And it also comes with a cup of soup. read more

I have not returned to Bamboo Garden since the pandemic and it is sad to see the quality of food slip downhill. At one point during my childhood, this was my favorite dim sum parlor as they always had freshly steamed dishes rolled out on an almost half-hour basis. While the interior did receive a minor facelift since my last visit, I could not say the same for the food. Their har gow has shrunken by half and the once juicy and crunchy shrimp filling with bamboo shoots is now replaced with mushy oversteamed shrimp. The steamed tripe was old and chewy and a tad too salty for my preference. I did enjoy their steamed fish balls as it had a nice bouncy texture and flavor, as well as their pineapple yolk custard buns. The craquelin topping reminded me of Tim Ho Wan's famed char siu buns except the filling was an intensely savory and rich lava yolk custard. Did it flow like lava? No, but the intention was there so hopefully they improve on their custard filling. The service is just the same. The waiters will take your baskets away and refill your tea. They are generally friendly and can communicate in both English and Chinese. read more

We were a party of 9 and after waiting 30 mins at East Harbor on Saturday around 11, we decided to try our luck at Bamboo Garden. We waited 10 mins at most. Servers were friendly and I thought the food was pretty good. The baked goods were fresh out of the oven. Definitely would come back here for dim sum. read more

I come here for dimsum, lunch, and dinner. It all depends on my mood what I'm craving for and usually I have. A great time dining in and take out. I've been coming here for over 6 years. It's gets busy when it's dimsum time, I would say come before 11am and you'll get a table. The bad thing is that dimsum ends after 1:30-2pm you'll be stuck with the leftovers. Dinners will be best if you reserve ahead just in case- there are usually banquets, parties, weddings, or other celebrations that might go on! Walk ins are acceptable but I rather be safe :) This spot is great for family style dinners. You're going to need about 7+ people to dine here for dinner. Trust me. Come hungry and order 5-7 dishes and soup. Your bellies would be so happy& you'll most likely have leftovers to doggy bag. Lunch time- I do take out dimsum and even rice boxes. I love the bbq meats for super fast lunches. For dimsum take out, there's a form in English & you just need to check off what you like. For other orders, I do usually call it in so I don't have to wait inside. Usually food will be ready in 20-30mins depending how many dishes you order to go. I love bamboo garden and I'm going to keep coming here! Everything is usually flavorful, and lots of wok "hay" read more

Quite delicious. Get a plate of golden fried rice for every person who loves fried rice. Each. It's the best deep fried puffed rice tossed into light unctuous fried rice with nothing more than scrambled eggs and luscious rice. We had great beef short ribs, fat chewy jelly fish, awesome squid & (cuttlefish- it's not I just cannot remember what it's called) sugar snap pea stir fried, yummy pea shoots, requisite Peking chops & fried bass. Definitely a solid family dinner. Free almond pudding yummy. read more

I placed a delivery order with this restaurant, but due to an unavailable item and their inability to cancel it, I initially decided to cancel the entire order. However, I later changed my mind and chose to keep it. While contacting the delivery app's customer service, I also tried calling the restaurant to clarify the situation. Unfortunately, the woman who answered the phone was extremely rude and unprofessional. She repeatedly interrupted me, spoke over me, and refused to let me finish my sentences. I have never encountered such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I typically don't leave reviews, but this experience was so terrible that I felt compelled to share. I've dined here before, but after this incident, I have no desire to return. No customer should be treated this way, and I sincerely hope the front desk staff member who answered my call reconsiders how she speaks to customers. To make matters worse, she hung up on me saying " thats it goodbye" like what?! Also, the numerous one-star reviews about their awful service speak a-lot about this restaurant. A business that fails to provide quality service doesn't deserve returning customers. The fact that so many people have complained about their poor customer service--and that it remains just as bad during my visit--shows a clear lack of leadership, proper training, and willingness to improve based on customer feedback. read more

I've only been to Bamboo Garden for their dim sum service. They have carts on the weekend. If you get stuck on the wall side, it's a bit more difficult to call on the cart ladies. The food is decent. They have the typical dim sum variety (ha gow, siu mai, etc.) , and they do those well. The prices are fair, and you'll feel full without spending too much. The restaurant gets busy during dim sum service on the weekends. It's best to go earlier, so you don't have to wait too long. If you are a smaller group, you'll most likely be put at a table with another party. read more

This place became the new seniors center. I came here for dim sum, the service varies depending on the location you're sitting it; for example I was sitting in the corner so no one came to collect the empty basket or refill our tea with hot water. This place is very loud, the food is a little flavorless now. This place used to be very good but it's had been a major downgrade since they reopen from renovations. - Skip the beef triple and the crystal clear shrimp dumplings- read more

Satisfactory dim sum, but not especially stand out. Heavy MSG use in many of the dishes, esp the meat ones, to the point where it detracted from enjoyment. The skin on their crystal dumplings were also a bit lackluster. I did like their desserts, especially the coconut jelly and the durian pastry. You have to special order some dishes as the cart runs out before it reaches all the tables. read more

This place used to be good. It had excellent food and service, with nice and friendly servers. However, things have changed over the past year. The server who answers the phone is always rude and yelling. My family only speak Mandarin, and while we understand some servers don't, we try to speak slowly and clearly. But the servers get angry at us for not speaking Cantonese and are very impatient--until we order expensive dishes. Then their attitude changes. Each manager seems to have their own set of rules, and whenever you speak to them, they give different answers to the same questions, which is annoying. I'm not sure if writing this review will lead to any changes, but I really miss the old days at Bamboo. read more

When you're craving some banquet-style asian food on chinese new year, this is the spot to go. It's a huge, expansive, restaurant with the capability to fit many large tables and a gigantic screen/stage up front. What to get: - Lobster and sticky rice: It's an interesting take because I haven't seen this anywhere outside of New York and I really wish I did. Definitely a must try - Peking spareribs: Sauced up nicely, full of flavor and tender meat. Another +1 - Salt chicken: Not sure this is what it was called, but it's the yellow chicken with the ginger scallion sauce. Chicken itself was nice and tender, but the scallion sauce was on the slightly more salty side - Crispy fried fish: Nicely fried up and they even de-bone it for you. What more could you ask for? Had a few of their veggies and noodle dishes and all were solid. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for delicious banquet style food on 8th Ave! read more
