Amazing authentic food. Everyone there are so kind. They are the best take out in the area!

Went there today. After recommendations from a few people and reviews we couldn't wait. Wife got General Tso's chicken and I got Szechwan shrimp. Chicken had absolutely no sauce on the whole meal. Dry rice and dry chicken. My Szechwan shrimp had very little sauce and 4 shrimp to the meal. All I ate was the 4 shrimp as everything else tasted bad. The 2 containers of Hot and Sour soup were thrown out as it was not good. This was a waste of time and money. I will continue to go to the Asian Tea House and Tomo Asian where in all the years we never got a bad meal. Their establishment was one of the cleanest places I've been to and no oil smell. read more

Our go to neighborhood Chinese take out place. Most things are good...never an issue with our take out orders.

I agree! "Very good" are two words to sum up the food served here. Initially I was going to have dinner at Chef's Takeout, but that place was closed for the holiday. Next door, Bamboo Chinese Restaurant was open, so I decided to order some dinner takeout from here. Located in the long Carman (strip) Plaza, this Chinese takeout restaurant is pretty clean inside which is order at the counter with open kitchen and bright-lighted overhead menu boards and there's table seating for eating in. The menu offerings include the standard Chinese dishes and chef's dishes, as well as udon soups and a few Thai dishes (Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Thai Red Curry, Spicy Thai Fried Rice). 25 Chinese Lunch Specials ($5.85) and All Day Combination Specials ($7.85) are offered. I ordered the C22 Eggplant Garlic Sauce with Shrimp ($7.85 plus tax) served with pork fried rice and egg roll. The food was hot and ready in under 10 minutes. However, I was rang up at $8.85 plus tax ($9.56 total) and I thought they raised their prices (they did by 40 cents on the combos). As I was about to head out, the lady at the counter realized the error, profusely apologizing to me, and quickly refunded me $1.08, the difference for the correct price of $7.85 plus tax ($8.48 total). The Eggplant dish had very nice blend of flavors with generous amounts of soft Chinese eggplant with a mix of fresh vegetables, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms, & onions and tender jumbo shrimp in a spicy garlic sauce. The pork fried rice (light colored) had peas, carrots, onions, and tender pieces of roast pork in soft rice, nice! The egg roll, though slightly greasy, had a mixture of shredded cabbage & ground pork and crispy skin on the outside. Overall, the food was surprisingly amazing and very tasty, as good as it gets! There was enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Next time I'm in this part of Guilderland, I may have a heck of a time deciding on what to eat at Carman Plaza, pretty good Italian food at Chef's or great Chinese food from Bamboo. I can stop at both places! For dessert, there's also the Corner Ice Cream Store, which is a popular ice cream place at the end of the plaza. Getting hungry? read more

Great quality food at very reasonable prices. They offer a lunch special deal where you can select an entree and you get a free soda or pint of soup Monday - Friday 11-3 PM.. Lunch special is only $7 including tax. My favorite Chinese restaurant in the area by far. read more

Bamboo Restaurant - Kung Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Food is always good. Been going here for years. Also can appreciate that they have a very clean kitchen

This place rules! Took me ages to be brave enough to try this place when I had another favorite already. If you know me well. you know I hate takeout disappointment with a passion! Thankfully, I was very pleasantly surprised! I LOVE this place. I love their Broccoli and Garlic Sauce, Vegetable Spring Rolls, General Tso's Tofu and Sesame Tofu. My boyfriend says their Sesame Chicken and General Tso's Chicken and the fried rice are also excellent. The service is fast and friendly, and I will miss living very close-by. I will definitely be making an occasional special trip here to get some food! read more

the people there are so amazing and so kind, i've never experienced such kind service. the food was incredible, i will definitely be going there again. read more

Bamboo Restaurant - sesame chicken, broccoli, fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I checked out the reviews on this place before I tried it, they weren't kidding. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area, everything tasted so fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be going back for more!! read more

This is our go to for take out Chinese food. Excellent service, I love that they have brown rice and all the dishes we have tried are so good. Highly recommend! read more

Wow. With all the good reviews, I expected WAY better. Got a sesame chicken combo with fried rice and an egg roll. Fried rice is essentially greasy white rice with some veggies in it. Sesame chicken tastes like nothing. Chicken is incredibly chewy with some inedible. The egg roll is incredibly greasy an looks like it got squished at some point. Extremely disappointed. read more

It's a tiny little place in a strip mall, but well worth stopping by. The food is always fresh, never greasy. We recently ordered takeout and the General Tsao is spicy and delicious. The fried dumplings were on point, the meat in the middle was seasoned well. We also enjoyed the spareribs and fried rice. This is our new go-to place for Chinese. read more

I'm new to Guilderland and tried 2 Chinese restaurants and this one was far superior. The fried was was OK the first time but I subbed in lo mien the 2nd time I ordered and it was amazing. The crab Rangoon is also the best I've had. read more

Family owned, friendly, quick, and delicious food. You can't ask for anything more. All white meat chicken, fried rice isn't greasy, thai food selection is great. Cant beat it. read more

I've always heard that, if you want to know how good all troop is at an Asian restaurant, order the wonton soup. Theirs is the best. We have out favorite things that we order, but we have not been disappointed with anything we have ordered. read more

Always good. The service and food is excellent. My son prefers their food over others in the area. I wish they had an online menu for easier ordering but when you know the family favorites you can just call it in. read more

This place is the best Chinese take out place around. Their food is very reasonably priced and ingredients are very fresh. They take care in their recipes and don't taste like it's all filled with random seasonings. read more

Exceptional restaurant with fresh ingredients. Friendly and welcoming environment. Me and my girlfriend are quite happy with their service and will come back. 100% recommend for others. read more

These guys are great. I don't think we've ordered Chinese take-out from anywhere else for the past five years or so. Their location is super convenient, their service is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and their food is delicious. I always pick up my order (I don't think they deliver), and my food is almost always ready in less than 15 minutes. It's consistently well-packaged, too. I've never had any leaks or spills in the car. The menu is quite varied. All dishes are prepared without MSG. I'm a big fan of their Thai red curry chicken, and my wife usually goes for the pineapple fried rice with chicken. I only dock them a star because there's no delivery service. It's pretty much take-out only. I mean, you CAN eat your food at the restaurant, at one of the two or three little tables, but I'm not sure why anyone would. There's more ambience at an Arby's. If you're looking for takeout, you can't really go wrong, though. read more

So happy with the Curry chicken and I have them add shrimp and I get the house rice. Awesome awesome awesome! Very nice service and very clean. read more

I've NEVER reviewed take out Chinese before because it wasn't worth it. I was so happy to see that this place is different from all others. It actually tastes fresh and it's NOT swimming in gallons of grease. We had beef with broccoli, mo shu chicken, veggie lo mein and chicken pad Thai as well as the house special soup. Everything was delicious and crisp and light tasting. The restaurant itself is also very clean. Highly recommend this place and I will most certainly be back! read more

Awesome Chinese food, very fast and the owners are super friendly. We were die hards for another Chinese place on western until we tried this guys. Hands down better flavor/prices/people. If we have to get food someplace else we say how this isn't as good as bamboo the entire time. Try the Gen Tso's wings extra crispy, not on the menu but UNBELIEVABLE! read more

Food is decent and the staff are super nice. I had one bad order (lemon chicken batter wasn't cooked very well) but they took care of it no worries. read more

There are a few times that I've wished they had table service, you could eat there, but it will be just like eating at any fast food joint. The food is very good is pretty good for the palate and the portioning is decent. The items are priced as an average Asian place. If you want take outs- this is certainly worth checking out. read more

Bamboo is the best Chinese takeout we've had in the area. The food is consistently delicious and our order is always on time. We especially enjoy the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken is in much larger chunks than most places so it doesn't taste like you are eating just batter. We're working our way through the menu and haven't been disappointed yet read more

I had tofu with broccoli, and vegetable egg rolls. It was OK, not really different from dozens of others I have eaten at over the years. They were friendly, and my food was ready quickly. If I lived in the area I would go there again. But not a place I will make note of to seek out if I pass through Schenectady in the future. read more

This place had really taken a turn for the worse. Perhaps they have new owners because the food is not the same. Had fried rice today that was white rice peas and carrots. No flavor in the food and every thing is very oily. I used to drive 30m to get take out. But sadly no more the quality of the ingredients is not worth it. It's too bad because a few years ago this place was amazing. read more
