    In hopes of a taste of Guyana cuisine following a full morning of kayaking, with a friend, we replenished our stomachs for Curry Goat at $9.99. Time is of essence as the street parking Muni Meter restricted our dinning in experience for half hour. Disappointingly, service is extremely dismissive to our party and the lack of diet soda for my friend's liquid revelry preference. Personally, I do not intake soda of any genre since my teenage years, thus we both opt for water. I wanted to explore Caribbean cuisine as living in New York City entails a diversity of ethnic cultures. The Curry Goat was not entirely spawn hot on the spice index temperature. The name Bamboo Garden imbued a Chinese flair in Guyanese cuisine. First impression is a lasting impression... we were not greeted by a hostess upon our arrival to be seated at a table. When requesting for the check, no wait staff were in plain sight ergo we punted our physical presence at the cashier station for payment. Our bill was incorrectly plow at us blindly totaling $25.00 which we both vocally disputed this utter dismay charge. According to the takeout menu Curry Goat is $8.99 but not, so this case as the dinning in menu is priced excessively higher. We were ultimately given a second incorrect bill for Curry Chicken at $9.99 despite of consuming Curry GOAT, nevertheless it is the same price. The cashier is very inexperienced with operating the register who sneak to snake a scowl a callous rude face. The manager callously stated the takeout menu is priced "differently" aka lower as opposed to excessively higher prices for dinning in. All in all given our party of two's billing debacle, by choice, we refused to leave a gratuity of any amount. Bamboo Garden staff never made amends for this billing transgression debacle. We were ready to abate without further ado. No amount of food can ever be measured by QUALITY of customer service in the restaurant hospitality business!! EEK!

    I normally visit the Bamboo Garden Queens location, but went to the Bklyn location since I was in the area for an appointment. Customer service does not seems to be an importance at many West Indian restaurants. I'm West Indian myself and used to this "indifferent" attitude that many display, kind of like "barely answer your questions" or "answer in a way like you're bothering them even though you're patroning their establishment" type of way. In any case, as long as the food is good, I try to put MEH attitudes to the side. As I said before, at the Queens location, I normally order chow mein and it's always super delicious, full of flavor and vegetables. I ordered 2 dinners here, 1 chow mein and 1 Lo mein. The chow mein dinner was fine, but the lo mein dinner came with just cabbage, no other vegetables. Basically noodles fried up with some cabbage and served. I mean, what's wrong with veggies? I wasn't until I got home that I realized I receives a veggie-less dish, or else I would've simply asked to sprinkle some veggies on top. All in all, the food tasted okay. I think there's lots of room to improve on a customer service and food experience to make this a great destination in Canarsie-a neighborhood that's still lacking any upscale Caribbean restaurant last. You're not a bad place BG, but cutting corners doesn't get new or more customers. Refocus your goals, menu and make yourself a premier Caribbean spot in Canarsie. Call me for advice!

    My favorite that I always get is the BBQ chicken fried rice with no egg it's a lot of food for under $10 it doesn't get better . The fried rice wasn't that bad just a little on the salty side enough to take note .The chicken was delicious I really enjoyed it especially with the sauce that it was in and their blend of hot sauce .

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

    I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

    Pray tell, why would you send me on my way with 3 packets of duck sauce and one container of…read moreketchup for crab Rangoon?? Where is the sweet & sour? Where is the sweet chili? Cheap. There was nothing that I ordered that needed ketchup. Nothing. There wasn't even soy sauce in the bag. Then had the unmitigated gall to charge $22 for the salt baked shrimp and told me I had to pay $5 extra to substitute the lo mein for white rice. Who is eating white rice with shrimp? Girl bye. I'm not paying almost $30 for one meal from a hood Chinese spot. If there's no heat in your establishment, your prices need to be in lowercase. If it looks like you might catch staph in your establishment, your prices need not to be so loud. I also believe they overcharged me. They did have a sign saying that the prices went up, but I think they may have been too cheap to print out a new menu if that was the case. I was going off of what they had on the wall for the general public. So as I stated, I ordered crab Rangoon ($7, allegedly), honey wings ($7, allegedly), a shrimp egg roll ($2, allegedly), spare rib tips with fried rice ($12, allegedly). My total was $31. My assumption is they probably charged me extra for pork fried rice, which I didn't ask him for. I know for a fact they are not charging tax because there's no way that you're forcing people to pay in cash while also charging them for taxes that you don't pay. The crab Rangoon was actually pretty decent even though I didn't have the sauce that comes with it. The honey wings were OK. They actually taste more like honey BBQ. I prefer C&Y honey wings. It's real honey and stay hot for an hour due to the way honey maintains heat. I also don't appreciate when these spots chop up a wing and call it two wings. 1 wing is the entire thing. STINGY. The spare rib tips I don't like and neither do I like their pork fried rice. The rice is a bit bland and I don't like those large spare rib tips. I prefer the boneless spare rib tips that C&Y has. A shrimp roll is a shrimp roll is a shrimp roll. It wasn't too bad and it was actually pretty happy. The shrimp was a little bit larger than those baby shrimp that they normally stuff in shrimp rolls. Their pricing is on par with C&Y yet I don't have no issues paying what they ask and their food is good aside from their lo mein. They are not stingy and have pretty decent customer service unlike the guy who took my order here who paused my order to take another order over the phone and tend to the person behind me. This is what I get for cheating on my spot and being lazy when they both were far af.

The food was tasty which is the Hardee way but the energy of the man behind the counter was atrocious! He was distracted by a personal call he was on and he seemed REALLY annoyed by my presence.

    Great tasting din soup dumplings! I came around lunch and…read moreit was busy. Luckily the turn around time for a table isn't a long wait. Their menu is pretty unique. I tried the wontons in spicy peanut sauce. It was different because I'm use to chili wontons. The spicy peanut sauce wasn't spicy. The peanut sauce itself is pretty thick, so I would recommend dipping it in the accompanying dipping sauce to balance the flavors. I would try the spicy peanut wontons again. I also tried the pork soup dumplings, which took some time to cook. It arrives very hot, so give it some time to cool off, maybe 5-10 minutes. The soup dumplings were mid, maybe I would try the truffle soup dumplings if I came back. I love how the dumplings are made in house

    Food is pretty good. Noodles and dumplings are made fresh and you can tell the difference. Flavors…read morefor fried noodles are also excellent. However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.
