    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)!

    The food was yummy and the sever is friendly. The food came out fast too. I came with my family for my birthday dinner. A group of 3.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    More dim sum!!

They even offered a complimentary bottle of wine and a few small appetizer dishes, which was a very nice touch. It's a seafood restaurant and seafood is clearly their specialty. They also have a live seafood market, so we were able to pick our own seafood. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Other dishes, the chicken was surprisingly tasty as well. Since it was a birthday celebration, we took our time and stayed a bit longer. Even though we ended up staying past their closing time, they didn't rush us to leave. We really appreciated that and had a wonderful time there.

The meal includes geoduck sashimi, jellyfish & mixed appetizer, soup, steamed fish, crab & lobster with sticky rice, abalone, steamed shrimp, noodles, and veggies. Some dishes were bigger than others. Both times I came they didn't have abalone so we substitute the dish for garlic scallop (which I prefer). The menu also says it comes with house special dessert but we never gotten any. For any seafood, it's market price plus they add a 30% processing fee, which is strange to me. For a Chinese restaurant which usually does not charge tax if you pay with cash, they charge tax here whether you pay by card or cash. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious. They have pretty large tables, suitable for parties and celebrations. There's a private space upstairs with 3 large tables for parties. The restaurant is pretty slow in the afternoon.

I'm talking grandma's-house-in-the-mainland type canto food like bitter melon, pork meat pie, fermented peppers, and braised pig's feet. It's the real deal and it's REAL GOOD. They also serve roast meat (chicken, duck, pork). They don't speak fluent English, so it will help if you know Mandarin/Cantonese OR keep your dialogue to a minimum by following the directions below. I highly recommend getting the combo with rice and 3 sides. To order, go up to the glass window (outside) and gesture that you want your food to-go or to eat-in. I usually get it to-go. The sides are displayed in the pans behind the glass. Choose 3 by pointing. My usual order is a meat pie, preserved peppers, and a vegetable. Then, go inside and pay (about $6.50 per combo). They will ask if you want a free soup...say yes because the soup is filled with MSG and is delicious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to come here due to concern for cleanliness, but all the good restaurants in Chinatown are dirty. I'll take my chances.

We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Uncle Lou is a Cantonese restaurant that also serve Dim Sum dishes. The business name reference Chinese culture of calling adults "uncle" (suk1 suk1, 叔叔) or "auntie" (aa3 ji4, 阿姨) is a polite, common way to show respect, build connection, and bridge generational gaps. It treats non-relatives like family, making strangers feel younger and fostering closeness. The atmospheric decor contains very beautiful Chinese lanterns suspended from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. I believe it is decorated for Lunar New Year throughout the entire year. No comment for facility as I did not utilize. Customer service is average attentive and the staff is fluent in both English and Cantonese. I did not have to wait long to be served nor request the bill, and neither attain change. I often dine alone as a single woman and was regarded with respect for patronizing. It is always good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular of Chinese language. I ordered in a mixture of both English and Cantonese. I was promptly seated by the maître d' promptly for a table. Melamine/plastic chopsticks in neon green and ceramic / porcelain china including ceramic Chinese soup spoon are distributed to customers while dine-in. A traditional teapot is also distributed during the duration of meal like large banquet hall Dim Sum restaurants. The large round tables contain a rotating lazy susan in traditional Chinese restaurant standard. Wow. No disposable wooden chopsticks and no disposable bowls for utensils are distributed at Uncle Lou. Price is slightly high, but worth the food quality and customer service. Uncle Lou did surely feed me! Shrimp Wonton noodle soup, Ho fun (flat rice noodles), shrimp based broth, $14.95 The bowl is gargantuan and the six (6) dumplings are good size portion served in ceramic / porcelain china. There are Chinese vegetable of one strand choi sam (choy sum) and scallions. The shrimp Wonton dumplings are a good size and good consistency. The soup broth is solid for flavor and consistency. It was served piping hot as steam was visibly emitting. The soup broth was slightly heavy. The flat rice noodles were sufficient for quantity. Noodle soup is Chinese comfort food and warms the heart. It sustained my hunger pangs throughout the day. Upon arrival the wait staff prominently announce to inform customers of 9% discount for cash payment and a 3% additional surcharge or fees for any credit/debit card payment for situational awareness. I was informant and made fully aware twice: upon entry when seated and upon receiving the bill. Uncle Lou complies with "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments, as of March 21, 2026, all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments, banning fully cashless stores." (source: Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), Local Law 34 of 2020). Oh! For small amounts of purchases, my default payment method is cash. Yes, cash is still widely accepted in the 21st century. Nota Bene: Have cash on hand to avoid annoying surcharge or fees. The bill is calculated and manually handwritten the old school way still a timeless classic. I paid my bill in cash including gratuity. No comment for Apple Pay or Google Wallet (formerly Android Pay/Google Pay) either acceptance or price differential vs. cash.
