As a local of Lebanon, Bamboo Gardens is my go-to, absolute favorite Chinese restaurant within a 60 mile radius. The service is phenomenal, the food is fantastic, and the ambiance of the restaurant is outmatched. If you are driving the interstate and wanting to stop in Lebanon, definitely eat here. 10/10 experience overall. read more

I WAS SUPERFLUOUSLY SICKENED BY THE STATE OF THIS RESTAURANTS REVIEW SCORE!!! This exquisite establishment is the finest Chinese restaurant this side of the Mississippi River!! I genuinely love this place and I always have to get it when I come back home! read more

They were good before covid hit don't know what happened the food doesn't taste the same not so good now

Absolute trash...my wife had the veggie Lo Mein and I had the sweet and sour chicken. Both dishes were swimming in ridiculously sweet sauces and were not edible. I should have went to Sonic down the road! read more

was at a convention in the area and ordered take out for our group. order was ready on time and everything was hot & fresh. several of us had the cashew chicken and it really was unique and delicious. was not at all like the overly sweet, sticky sauce dish you get at a lot of chinese restaurants. the sauce was very tasty and not too thick. chicken was tender and tasty too. everyone was happy with their food - just wished we had a fridge to put leftovers in as portions were generous! read more

Service if fine it's the food that's is lacking if you truly like Chinese food We were grossed out read more

my favorite place! :) highly recommend the general or bamboo chicken. If you are searching for AUTHENTIC, this is not for you lol , this is an American twist of Chinese, delicious nonetheless read more

As i was headed to Lebanon, Missouri, I was craving some utterly delicious Chinese food. As my favorite place, Chi-Time was closed, so then I searched my second favorite place, Midway, and they were closed too. So I thought to myself, "Hm, what about Bamboo Garden?" Save your money. My Lemon Chicken tasted like dishwater and my other friend ordered Sesame Chicken. He spit it out the very moment he tried it! It tasted like dish soap! On top of all of this, they stole our 54 cents. Not a big deal, i just assumed they didn't know how to do basic math. Anyways. Just go to Chi-time. read more

The prices on the drive-thru board are not correct. When told the total of our food at the window it was $4 more, and when we mentioned that the board said the prices were different the girl at the window said "oh, well you can change your order if you want." The Philadelphia roll is literally a piece of cream cheese in a roll and the California roll is just a piece of imitation crab meat in a roll. Nothing else. When we asked for the bibimbap the girl said "the what?" The request was repeated and she replied "oh, we don't make that anymore." The least that can be said is that it was very disappointing. read more

Bamboo Gardens - "California roll" and "Philadelphia roll"... - Chinese Near Me - Lebanon, Missouri

This place was absolutely delicious. The establishment was very clean, the restrooms were well maintained with the softest toilet paper for my bum. The food was fresh and hot. They had items on the buffet I had never seen any place else. Their egg rolls were the best I have ever had. I will definitely be back if I am in the area again. read more

I found this restaurant at first impression to be very clean, and the waitress super nice. The food was amazing. I absolutely can't wait to go back. Price more than reasonable. Service great. read more

See all

Excellent service. Great food reasonable price large quantity. The best of everything for you to eat at Bamboo Gardens is

Oh wow. I'm not sure how they call this Chinese food. The sweet and sour chicken were chicken tender bites with red sauce on the side. One of the selections was fried okra. Another was roasted potatoes. At a Chinese restaurant?!? The quality of food here was really awful. Not even the hot and sour soup was good and it's hard to mess that up! Yuck read more

My favorite place for the best cashew chicken made from scratch. It's clean. Super fresh. The chicken is all white meat--soft and tender on the inside. Crispy on the outside. You can't get a better deal for food made from scratch. Great for a quick lunch when passing through. read more

Bamboo Gardens - Cashew chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lebanon, Missouri

I've had better buffets but for about $9 a person not bad. The waitress was very nice!! There was a chicken dish which was very tasty. The rice was done just right. The only thing would have to be the dessert area... Everything looked like they opened cookie boxes from the store and just displayed them oh! And sliced bananas with a red syrup on them. It was ok :) read more

Pretty good menu overall. Buffet is all the typical favorites: Cashew chicken, teriyaki chicken, sweet and sour pork etc. lunch and dinner. Nice staff, and good food. Drive thru available. Best in Lebanon. read more

I have never had a bad meal at this place. Cashew chicken has always been my go-to here but my husband loves the Broccoli and Beef. Recently we started trying to eat more vegetables and we were so happy to find that they have a Veggie combo with rice and it is delicious. read more

On Saturday March 17 our family came from Springfield Mo. to visit family in Lebanon Mo we took them out to eat at your location first bad sign was girl at register pretty much ignored us then after the 6 of us were eating don't get me wrong the food was really good the waitress never came to clear plates never asked any of us if we wanted more to drink not a soul came to our table at all so when we were done standing up at counter to pay the waitress then went to our table and grabbed her tip like she had earned it, don't get me wrong we do tip as that's how she will earn a living but this time she didn't not sure if any of us will ever return. read more

The absolute worst Chinese food I have ever had! Even the spring rolls were horrible and that is usually a go to!

The food was very tasty. We stopped here on our way around lunch time. They have a variety of dishes. They were all fresh and great flavor.

It isn't the worst but is not the best. Tried this on a few occasions and only like the honey chicken. Nothing has much of an Asian flair or taste, not even the rice. Again, not terrible but we would rather go to another place in town. read more

Absolutely the worst. Eat anywhere but here. Food on buffet was lukewarm at best and many items were cold.

This place is so good for the buffet is so good but after this covid-19 started we went through the drive thru they messed up 2 times but the buffet the don't mess up like what the heck if you are going to go here go inside. read more

I love this place. They have great (Springfield style) Cashew Chicken, and the buffet is well stocked and always seems fresh. The inside is clean with clean restrooms and the staff have always been friendly and attentive. When using the drive through they have always been fast and efficient. We visit family several times a year who live about18 miles away, and even getting the food to go, it is still hot when we get home. We make a point of going to this place every time we are in town. The buffet is reasonably priced especially for all you can eat. Obviously, this is not a super high end restaurant with linen tables and candle light with a piano player, but it is good hot food in a clean environment with friendly staff. I go back frequently. read more

You can find better Chinese at the Taco Bell next door. Priced right for the quality and the audience.

It was moderately priced. Not great food at all, though. Probably the worst chinese buffet I've ever had. But it wasn't bad, mind you. It just wasn't very good. The service was nice, though, so that was good. read more

We arrived at this location before they closed and we were rudely informed by the server you have 15 minutes and you have to leave. I was shocked by the poor customer service by this employee more worried about going home than serving customers. If you have a closing time restaurants serve until that time. I was informed that Dedra was the manager and this is my review. Poor employee choice. read more

Good food at good prices! The staff is always super nice! Dining area and buffet is always clean when we go. Fresh foods constantly being brought out and tended to. read more

The food was good..I only have one complaint..I was asked to stop laughing...can you believe that...laugh...wow..

My daughter and I ate here Sunday the 26th of January 2014. The food was very good, and tasted fresh. The hot food was hot, and the cold food was cold. I was surprisingly pleased with the food, especially the way they prepared the potatoes. I also liked the hot tea, and the way it was presented in it's own mini tea pot to keep it warm. The staff were all very friendly, and our server was excellent. Used plates were rapidly removed (we ordered the buffet), and she routinely checked to see if we needed anything without being intrusive. The only disappointment for us was that there were few vegetarian items to choose from. We were able to have a good meal, and although we rarely eat meat we did have a bit of the chicken in addition to our other selections because of this scarcity. The next time we have a business trip in this area we plan to stop again, hopefully there will be more of the vegetarian selections we prefer when we do visit again. read more
