    Garlic String Beans and Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean

    Delicious Hong Kong style food!! Inviting and comfortable and incredible staff! Tommy is a gem! He welcomed us right in and made us feel like old friends! He explained the menu answered all questions and we ended up with a meal that suited us perfectly! We stopped in by a lark on our way to Sonora and we liked it so much we had to stop again for lunch on our way home a couple days later. Definitely worth our stop!

    Mmmmm - this food hit the spot! Stopped by for a latish lunch - our server was so friendly and had a great sense of humor, he made a due note of our vegan order and kept up the lively chatter with us and other customers as we waited for our food to arrive in the cozy dining area. We tried the vegetarian sizzling rice soup with the rice crispies which totally hit the spot on the collllld foggy afternoon. We also enjoyed the other dishes - ma po tofu, vegan fried rice and garlic string beans! What a lovely discovery!! We even asked the server if they could open a branch in our town!!

    One of the best spots in Oakdale for Chinese food! The food is delicious! It's fresh meat and great portions at a fair price!

    vegetable spring roll

    Food was hot and delicious. Service was fast and wonderful. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. I ordered lunch special beef with vegetables, chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, it also came with a cup of egg flour soup, and a spring roll. I also ordered a recommended secret menu dish called Singapore rice noodle dish. It has beef, chicken, shrimp, pork, eggs, really thin noodles, crispy vegetables. It was absolutely delicious and after I tasted it, I couldn't go back to anything else I ordered. It's not on the menu. You have to ask for it. I'm posting pictures. I found it because someone else posted a picture of it and I went to the restaurant just for this dish and I showed him the picture and he told me what it was. I highly recommend you ask for it and try it. It was $15.49 I believe..

    From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The customer service was top-tier friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. And the food? Absolutely amazing! Every bite was flavorful and fresh. You can tell they put love into every dish. Bamboo Garden is definitely a place I'll be returning to highly recommend!

    orange chicken dinner combo, was packed with orange chicken, couldnt resist a couple of bites lol

    me and my boyfriend come all the time and they always treat us with kindness and hospitality!! Big portions always and their food is always fresh! inside the aroma is wonderful and it is very comfortable, clean, and very roomy! we always go here for when we crave chinese food

    It's American Chinese menu, not authentic Chinese. Basing it on this fact. Great service. Quick with the food. I'm giving this 5 stars because for American Chinese food, the flavors are great. We are Chinese, and we were coming down from Yosemite. We asked the server what was good and he was super honest saying nothing really "authentically Chinese," so we got garlic string beans, salt and pepper shrimp and Hong Kong Chow fun. I have to say, the string beans and shrimp flavors were on point. Server cautioned us that the shrimps did not come with shells (Chinese like shrimps with shells), but we were ok with that. Seasoning and the crispness were perfect. Would stop here again if we pass by.

    Orange chicken was perfect!!

As we drove into the parking lot bright umber kumquats welcomed us to old world Italy. Thee bright eyed host graciously showed us to our table even though we were tardy to our reservation - we had travelled a great distance winding through backroads lined with orchards of apples and almonds. Offered the choice of dinning room or neon lighted gladiator hall - we chose the former and fell into our seats in view of the chefs and gallant servers. After a mere 10 minutes water appeared at our table in clean glasses with cube of ice. Promises of bread were made. As dawn turned more to dusk and the moon rose over the sierras and orchards, neither bread nor server came to fruition. After beckoning the cheese boy we were able to request arancini, salad, two glasses of crisp Chardonnay , and Sean's special. More dusk came... The wine and salad arrived and appeased our hangry souls. Never has a Caesar tasted so Kraft fresh and then came the ten rolls. I swear you could taste the thawck and pop of the pillsburry tube in every biscuit-y bite. The cheese boy generously offered heaping spoonfuls of brownish minced garlic to accompany we don't know what? Perplexed, we politely declined. Finally as trumpets sounded and the leaning tower leaned a bit more our Sean's special pasta arrived. Never since the fall of Rome has Italy suffered a greater insult. We could've for $3 more, ordered the vodka sauce instead of the pink tinted cream. There was no cheese boy to save us. The redeeming ray of light was the in-dinner entertainment of observing two awkward teenagers on their third ( maybe second ) date. Silence...screen time ...silence. It was beautiful to see them wild and free in their natural habitat. One night with you Firenze will fill our hearts for a lifetime. Love, D and R

We ordered the asparagus and the Brussels sprouts as appetizers and split the New York steak. I'm giving a 5-star here because it's rare to find things up to this standard, but I have some points for improvement. The service was good, but my drink order was incorrect. Not a big deal or worth one less start. However, the ambiance is close but not quite. We had a reservation and, upon arrival, were seated between two full tables. One had two children who were loud and wiggly throughout our whole meal. (Nothing against children, they were totally appropriate for their age and very cute) But it would be nice if reservations had designated areas that were a bit farther away from the crunch of the walk-in crowd. Nothing we experienced took away from the great food, so the 5-star remains. Looking forward to another visit.

We came at 7pm and there was 8pm closing time so we were conscientious and had our order ready immediately. ALL the waitstaff and manager (I think- blue floral polo) were very focused on closure for the full hour. Unloading clean dishes, stocking the bar, a lot of watch checking. This is pretty off-putting when trying to enjoy food and feeling the pressure of closing time. No ongoing smiles or eye contact. Ambience: very cute, modern vibe. May need to look into some sound absorption material as there is quite loud reverberations from lively parties nearby. I also felt the employees were not very happy and I felt it was due to them being under extreme scrutiny of above-mentioned manager. Nobody smiled.

    For context, I often find myself driving between San Francisco and Fresno. On one articular trip,…read moreI was craving prime rib (which happens every two weeks or so). I asked my favorite llm where I should stop by for prime rib going from Fresno to SF. It at first suggested I make a bee like for house of prime rib in sf, which I like but have been to many times. It then suggested house of beef and I'm so glad it did (cattleman's in Livermore was also a 3rd choice but I've been there several times too). Thankfully it was Fri eve and they had prime rib. I like mine rare and it was perfectly cooked, very marbled, huge, well seasoned and delicious. I pared it wth au jus and mashed with gravy. Then, what reminded me to write this review, was the tri tip from the meat counter and took to go. They were nice enough to pack it in ice for my 2 hour drive. I just cooked it on my grill in the rain and this is seriously one of the best tri tips I've ever grilled up. The meat tenderness/marbling/quality is on par with any prime grade/American wagyu I've bought and the seasoning is just super on point. Looking forward to smoking the baby back ribs I picked up as well in the next couple of days but I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Seems like other reviews had issue with service but the staff were exceptionally attentive when I was there. Seriously the only thing that wasn't top notch about my experience was the cocktails(mine was totally fine but I'm a bit spoiled when I'm in SF) but for my purposes passing through I just wanted the prime rib and meats to go to be delicious and house of beef certainly lived up to its name!

Service is fast and attentive, staff is apologetic about the wait, but the waiting time was not too late or rushed. Our server 10/10 service, even gave us extra bread to take home. Salad and soup bar were excellent and everything tasted fresh. We loved the tomato soup, but didn't like the french onion dip soup. The bread was amazing, and even tasted great as reheated leftovers. The prime rib and ribeye steak were cooked perfectly to our order, but couldnt finish eating dud to being full from the unlimited bread, salad and soup bar. Garlic fries were amazing and crispy, even after reheated for leftovers. Only a few things I didn't like was when we went to get our soup and salad, they cleared the whole table. I was warming up the butter in my hands for the bread to spread on faster, but they took it away like trash when we went to grab our salad and soups. They resetted the paper towel rolls to the side of the table when we moved it to the center, and they almost took away my husband's alcoholic drink, and then realized we were still dining. The lighting was definitely way too dark. I could see elderly people slipping if there was were liquids or food filled on the floor. The space is interestingly very small for a steak restaurant, but they seem to make everything flow well. Definitely would come again, enjoy the soup and salad bar, and then maybe share a steak instead of ordering two.

The broth and flavor of this pho wasn't the best and the serving size was on the smaller size for pho even though he got a large. The vermicelli plate was unusually sweet- both the beef and shrimp had a red sauce that was very vivid and unexpected. We both ate our food and enjoyed the meal, but will probably not be back any time soon. If you are in the area and craving pho- this was a decent place, the prices seemed standard, and there were limited food options when we were looking Sunday evening.
