We got takeout for our family (2 adults and 4 kids, 9 thru 3 years old). Everything was excellent! The prices weren't exactly cheap but the portions were so generous and the quality was really good. -General Tso's chicken -Sweet and Sour chicken -chicken Lo mein -kung pao chicken (nice spice to it) -crab Rangoons -Wonton soup -egg rolls (very good!) -Plus generous white rice, sauces, and of course fortune cookies. We may make this an annual tradition when we're here for vacation. We recommend 100%! read more

I have been there twice now, one month apart, and I have to say the food and customer service is exceptional. I sat at the bar both times and having been only once before I was astonished that the bartender recognized me...AND new what I drank! That is quality service. The menu is diverse and the foods I ordered were very fresh and tasty. It is now my go-to place when up in southern Maine! read more

The chicken in garlic sauce was excellent. Loved the people working there. Very friendly and funny. My hubby loves his t-shirt HO LI CHIT THIS FOOD IS AWESOME. the bar was very nice with yummy wontons and sauce. I'll definitely visit again. We stayed at the Microtel/Wyndam so we walked next door for dinner. Very convenient. Thank you all! read more

Bamboo Garden - The building and sign - Seafood Near Me - York, Maine

I've been going here for years now. Whole there are other options I belive you get what you oay for. And you can expect such great food, decent drinks, and a friendly and attentive staff. No matter if you want your old favorite or want to try something new, the menu offers a variety of food from Asia. Never had a bad time there and the place is always clean and inviting. Only con I can think of is I really wished they delivered. read more

Inspired by the good words from Yelpers, we decided to take a break from oysters and lobsters while visiting Maine and enjoy some Chinese food. We're glad we did. We had a very tasty meal with nice service in a restaurant that is just a bit off the beaten path but well worth any trouble that night require. Our menu consisted of wonton soup, garlic chicken, a Pupu platter and chicken wings and some beer (regrettably and ironically they were out of the Chinese beer we prefer). All of the dishes were quite satisfying and quite reasonably priced. Our entire meal came to less than a two-pound lobster would cost just down the road. The interior is clean and roomy and they have two cute fish tanks (see our photos). read more

The hot and sour soup is the best in York. Not outstanding, but still good. The food is fresh and the cooked vegetables are still crunchy, just the way I like them. The spring rolls are done right, but the egg rolls need some improvement as the wrapper is too thick. Ultimately, most everything is very tasty and the service is awesome. read more

Great food, nice environment, and good service. we have returned several times and have always enjoyed the food and our service.

Food is great. I am really happy I recently became aware of this place. service was fast, friendly, and professional.

We drove around looking for food but with so many places closed at 7pm and we didn't find much. We were glad Bamboo Garden was open. Let's start with - it's very clean inside. Welcoming. Nicely lit. Booth was comfy. Started with drinks - coke and a water. The water tasted disgusting so I opted for hot tea. As a vegan it's sometimes hard to eat out. I opted for the fried tofu and broccoli. No mention of sauce on the menu, and definitely no mention of there being oyster sauce on the tofu. After seeing it covered in a brown sauce I asked the waiter before trying it to find out if it was vegan friendly (or even vegetarian friendly!). He said no, that it had oyster sauce. I typically get fried tofu near by and it comes with a sweet chili sauce, on the side which I especially appreciate. They brought me another dish after I requested no sauce. Nope. It was slathered in this awful brown sauce that tastes disgusting. The tofu texture was way off. I had one broccoli and couldn't eat anymore. Now for the meat portion. The beef teriyaki are thinner but taste was good. Egg rolls also were very good. Chicken fingers were nicely battered and perfectly cooked. Rice was good too. And chicken sesame was incredible. Portions were smaller aside from the sesame chicken and of course egg rolls you always get 2. Oddly enough they give you only one tiny bowl of duck sauce and when you request more it's maybe a 1oz container. Just strange as local places hand you several with every order. It was $83 for dinner. Not worth it, imo. May go back for take out for the meat eater but that's about it. read more

Oh my god, this is easily my favorite Chinese restaurant in Maine. It is very clean and cozy inside, and the staff has always been nice. The food is incredible and I'm in love with the spring rolls. This is a perfect place if you're on vacation and don't know what to get. I always get it a couple of times whenever I'm in York. read more

We love Alice, the owner and Yung the bartender. The place is spotless and the food and drinks are outstanding.

Good food good price quick service well worth the trip xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx read more

I'm glad I found bamboo garden on Yelp! The food was delicious, well prepared and exactly what we wanted on a low key Wednesday. Ordering was breeze - I registered my email and was able to check out within minutes! My order was hot and ready for pick up within 10-15 mins. The one item we did order that I personally will skip next time (and I forgot to snag a picture of) was the egg drop soup. I was not a fan of corn kernels in it. Took away from the delicious egg taste - I ended up picking the corn out of each bite and finally gave up and tossed the rest of my soup. read more

Great food and service. Acceptable ambience. Rarely a wait. Best Chinese / Japanese food around. Even competitive to similar restaurants in Boston area. Highly recommend read more

I used to work in Manhattan in the Criminal Court Building at 100 Centre Street. When you stepped out the back door, you stepped into Chinatown, and I took full advantage of the situation by eating in as many Chinese restaurants as I could, for lunch and dinner. The food from Bamboo Garden is as good as or better than anything I ever experienced from the epicenter of NYC Chinese cuisine. No small feat, indeed! read more

We have been eating here for years and we love it. Everyone ordered something different and enjoyed it. Friendly staff and great food

O.M.God! So so good I feel compelled to write an immediate review...may even pick up the phone and call them myself to tell them how awesome they are!! Husband was craving Chinese tonight and I reluctantly agreed, not having found quality Chinese food since our favorite place in Boston (Chef Chang's) closed a good 15 years ago. I finally found my place! Broccoli with Garlic Sauce is my thing and they did it right - nice saucy batch with a subtle kick! Killer Spring Rolls. Perfectly cooked nice sticky rice and lots of it. My husband enjoyed all of his more carnivorous options - Peking Ravioli, General Tso's Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, and Twice-Cooked Pork. He always orders too much food, which usually irks me but I am thrilled this time! Will definitely be back once we polish off these leftovers...day after tomorrow, perhaps read more

Tucked away but worth finding. Very pleasant dining room and food was very good. If you want a break from seafood, go here. Although I did have the shrimp lo-mein! read more

Nice little place in York with a vibrant bar scene and friendly customers. Food is typical American Chinese fare, but very tasty.

The food here is very tasty. I'm used to NY Chinese food, and this is comparable. Pleasant service and so many choices on the menu made this dinner special. read more

This place is clean and well prepared Chinese cuisine. Our meals moonshine pork and happy family were delish. The older male bartender was amazing and truly efficient. We'll be returning. read more

We went here for the first time after reading all the great reviews and were not disappointed! First, the process of ordering take-out is simple and quick. You don't pay online if you are concerned. The menu had a good selection, not too few and not too much. I ordered and received confirmation email quickly. They are very safely setup for pickup when you arrive. Dinner was ready and well packaged. When we got home, I couldn't wait to open the bag, it smelled wonderful. The quality was very high, everything was fresh. I especially noticed that the beef, chicken, scallops and shrimp were not overdone at all! Cooked to perfection. And the amount of salt was very restrained, greatly appreciated! Portions were perfect and reasonably priced. I am very happy I found this restaurant. read more

Great food, bartender very personable and welcoming. A little hard to find, but so glad we found it!

Very good food here. Never very busy. It should be because it's so good and very clean. Everyone's very friendly I love their cashew chicken. There's just enough chicken and just enough vegetables, and so many cachews! This place will be a regular for us. read more

Too hot to cook last night so we stopped into Bamboo Garden to pick up takeout. The best Chinese food we have had in ages! The chicken wings were cooked perfectly and as requested well done. We also had a variety of other appetizers that were great along with beef with snow peas, rice and shrimp in coconut sauce. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival, service was so efficient and the restaurant itself was immaculately clean. We will definitely be back for some more delicious food and drinks next time. read more

When in Maine we always have to stop here. One of the best Chinese restaurants! Where we live sit down Chinese restaurants are a thing of the past. It's so nice to be able to enjoy a delicious meal! read more

Visited Bamboo Garden to get something different from all the overpriced seafood in the area. What a treat. Tried the Kung Pow Shrimp, Shrimp with Broccoli, Lo Mein noodles, fried shrimp appetizer, and the pan fried dumplings. Everything was great. Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Fresh, hot, and tasty. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. read more

This restaurant was outstanding! The staff was great and the food was so delicious! The food art was a nice and unexpected surprise. read more

Bamboo Garden - Seafood Near Me - York, Maine

Because this adorable restaurant is tucked away off of the main thoroughfare, we've driven past it hundreds of times not realizing it existed. Today, after picking up a prescription at the local Rite Aid drive through, we noticed, to our surprise, the sign for Bamboo Garden behind the drug store and decided to check it out that night. We weren't disappointed! We ordered wonton soup, shrimp with lobster sauce, chicken with mixed vegetables, boneless spareribs and pork fried rice. All of the dishes were as good as any that I ever had in any Chinese restaurant before. They even had the really good, crispy Chinese noodles which they served, before the meal, with duck sauce. The waiter couldn't have been more accommodating and the place was several cuts above other local restaurants as far as its decor was concerned. We will definitely be back! read more

I just began a new job in this same plaza and figured I would check out Bamboo Garden as I noticed they have dine in (with a full bar!! Important when you're in the helping profession) and carry out available. I also get the opportunity to observe the backside of the building, the trash removal etc. THIS PLACE ROCKS--very clean, prompt service, yummy American Chinese food and ample parking. I sat down at the bar with 3 TVs and was greeted by a lovely older gentleman who seemed to have a great relationship with the three "regulars" at the bar. Side note-I love seeing regulars at a place like this even on a Wednesday at 3pm! Before I even cracked open the menu, ice water and fried wontons with duck sauce were promptly placed in front of me. Very yummy, NOT stale. I ordered a zombie (7.99) and it was exactly what I expected it to be, not to strong and could definitely taste the fruit juice. I would have had another if I didn't have to drive back home to Scarborough after. I had the lunch portion beef lo mein (substitute white rice) and the hot and sour soup. Immediate stand out was the hot and sour soup, especially because everything in the soup was identifiable as a vegetable and still had some crunch to it, didn't just mush up in your mouth. Beef had a nice taste to it, lo mein noodles were flavorful and not too greasy, and the veggies were good as well!! I left supremely satisfied and you can tell this is a family/close friend owned joint, AND spent under $20 including an alcoholic drink. That's literally unheard of in the greater Portland area. I again want to emphasize how clean, prompt, and friendly this place was. The food was delicious, well above the price point, and personally I can't beat the location. I will certainly be calling over for take out and enjoying Bamboo Garden often! read more

Great Chinese, great value. Best chinese in town now. Have pretty much eaten there whole menu now over the years and got to say there is nothing I wouldn't recommend. read more

A hidden gem and As good as it gets. Was hard to find as sits behind Walgreens off of Route 1 and 91. The road 'market place drive' runs between the 2 roads. Not in Walgreens parking lot so look for Market Place Drive off of either 91 or Route 1 . Microtel Suites sits in the back. Sparkling clean, food was fantastic. Had hot and sour soup, General Tso's chicken and a combo lunch that had 2 huge chicken fingers, 2 crab Rangoon, 2 beef teriyaki, pork fried rice. Excellent. No oil taste, fresh and service was great. Everything came out hot and perfect. Sure glad we made the effort to find it. read more

Very nice Chinese restaurant. Portions are ample, food is tasty, and place is very clean. And for a place like York, it's open late. The help is lovely, too. I do take out there a lot and everything is prepared in a timely manner. Give it a try! read more
