While we are remodeling our house, we have decided to try as many restaurants in Gilroy as possible while our kitchen is down. Popped into Bamboo Village on a weeknight and had the Sizzling Beef Mignon and the Sizzling Vegetable Delight with a side of brown rice. The Sizzling Mignon is amazing!!! The Sizzling Vegetables were very good, but ask them to go easy on the garlic sauce! Will be back!! read more

Very surprised this place is still open and has 3 stars. They completely took advantage of me and overcharged! I called my order in and asked if they had any kind of family bundle. I mentioned which entrees I was interested in.. 1. Chicken Chow Mein 2. Shrimp Fried Rice 3. Beef and Broccoli 4. Sweet and Sour Chicken 5. Fried Won Tons 6. Hot and Sour Soup The lady that took my order said that bundles don't come with soup but will make it a side order and bundle everything else. She never told me a total until I arrived to pick up the food. My total came out to be $90.63!!?! I asked why it was much and a lady came out of the kitchen and said "you should have ordered a bundle and it would have been much cheaper but it's too late now. Next time, just tell them." Ummm.. what?! When you say "them" don't you mean, "you?" I was completely mislead and taken advantage of! The one that came out of the kitchen said it's too late now and can't change anything. I'm sure something could have been done or charged me the correct amount. I payed and walked out knowing I'll just dispute the transaction. Got some mediocre food for free. Thank you Bamboo Village! AVOID!! AVOID!!! AVOID!!!! read more

Hands down one of the best Chinese food places I've been too. Real food real good nice serving sizes.

Stopped in to pick up dinner, Chow Mein & Orange chicken. $34 . I understand inflation but for 2 items .. this better be some amazing Chinese. Edit: Well worth it! Portions are huge. Could definitely feed 3-4 people. Food is flavorful and orange chicken was extra saucy. Owner was really very nice and friendly. Bummer they only serve Take Out orders and not open for Dine In. read more

Been going here for years. Simple good food and good portions. Jenny is a great waitress.

Pre-Covid this place never failed to disappoint but after a recent visit in the fall of 2024, don't bother. Really felt like the food was pre-cooked and then reheated again. In fact, they served walnut prawns that were half cold and half heated up. They no longer serve you hot tea nor do they serve beer. What Chinese restaurant doesn't serve hot tea? What was also weird is that you did not hear them cooking at all in the kitchen, which is the reason why we were led to believe the food must be stored and then just reheated. Sadly, no one in our group had a good plate to speak of. Really shameful that this restaurant has gone downhill. Noticed as well that the prices have increased anywhere from 5 to 7 dollars on the items that we purchased regularly. Higher prices for bad food. We will not be going here again. read more

So, so excited that they are open once again for in person dining!!! Dinner and service were exceptional, our food was steaming hot and cooked to order. The sizzling rice soup was by far my favorite. The staff is so happy, attentive and friendly. I sensed joy from the staff, happy to see us and happy to serve us. We will be back more often and I encourage you to come and bring your friends and family too! read more

My family and I just started eating at this restaurant after my husband picked up their sizzling rice soup. We are super picky when it comes to soup and this soup is perfect when you're feeling under the weather. Since trying the soups we've picked up lunch specials. The portions are big and while some items are bland it's easy enough to doctor up with a little soy sauce and chili paste. The woman at the counter is always pleasant and appreciative of our patronage. Take a chance on this small business which is only open for take out. read more

Overall the food was OK. The orange chicken was soggy , the broccoli beef and Mongolian beef had very small amounts of beef that were finely shredded and hardly apparent. The chow mein was ok and the fried rice was ok. Very kind people but we will not be back read more

Bamboo Village Gilroy: Sorry to post a low review, but others should know. It's our first and will be the last time here. We decided to ignore the low Yelp reviews and judge for ourselves. The Chinese Chicken Salad; fried chicken unedible, overcooked, and dry. Fried rice; had no flavor and it looked like instant rice or the rice used in sizzling rice soup. We each had one spoon and tossed the entire container. Kung Pow Chicken; is dry, has no spice, lacks flavor, and doesn't taste like Kung Pow. Chow Mein; again no flavor and noodles overcooked. War won ton soup was flavorful and had a nice broth. Total came close to $90. Full but not satisfied. Service was pleasant. They only offer take-out. read more

This is your typical hold in the wall Chinese restaurant located in Gilroy. The food are great and portions are generous. I gave it four stars only because you cannot dine in. I ordered the basic- sweet & sour pork, hot & sour soup, walnut shrimp. They all hit the mark. read more

This restaurant serves the most authentic Chinese food in Gilroy. The staff is eager to accommodate any requests one may have. Now that they have resumed sit-down dining the ambiance has greatly improved. read more

No pork in the sweet n sour, nothing but mush batter. Fried Rice and Chow Mien was burnt. Only like 5 tiny pieces of beg in the beef and broccoli. For $35. We didn't eat it read more

This place is delicious!! I understand the main lady that answers the phone might not be the warmest but she's efficient and the food speaks for itself. Hands down one of the best Won ton soups we've tried. Our top favorite plates that are delicious are Combination chow mein- Has a good amount of chicken,beef, prawns. Other favorite plates are Kung pao Prawns, mongolian beef has spicy kick to it. Lots of more options but those are hands down our favorite, again best here in Gilroy, way more authentic, and the food speaks for itself. read more

I really wanted to like it. The soup was ok. The rest was really over cooked...the egg rolls were soggy and greasy. Just not great.

i only go here for the won ton soup it's the best i recommend it i only go here for the won ton soup it's the best i recommend it

This was our go to place for Chinese food. Hands down they HAD been the best place in Gilroy/Morgan Hill. Unfortunately this is the second time it's been awful. This last time was the final straw for us. We drive from Morgan Hill for takeout. They gave us spaghetti noodles in place of chow mein noodles! Its mind blowing to think they thought boiled spaghetti noodles would be acceptable in place of stir-fried noodles. It was just gross. (FYI they only do take out now, no dining in still since Covid) read more

First time visiting this restaurant, food didn't have much flavor. The service from the lady taking the orders was terrible, she had no patience. I was told the food would be ready in 30 minutes however I had to wait an additional 20 more minutes. I Would never go back to this place again. read more

First time eating here and I was a bit nervous based on the reviews. We had a really great time here. We went for dinner around 4pm on Sunday (Mother's Day). The place had maybe 4 other tables being used. The service was fast and very good. Our waitress was really great with our 3 year old. The restaurant was clean, lots of seating as well. The food tasted pretty good. We got dinner combo A for 24.95 that included egg roles, pork fried rice, chicken chow menu and sweet and sour pork. Everything was flavorful and tasted pretty good. The food did have a lot of oil but it didn't impact the taste. One thing I observed which I thought was pretty cool. This place attracts regulars. There were several patrons the staff called by name. There was even a gentlemen who ran into the restaurant just to deliver flowers to all the staff (who were moms) for Mother's Day. That is pretty telling about any establishment. This place also does take out as well. read more

This place is pretty cool. The food here is authentic, but it's unique in that they specialize in Hunan food. And that's super cool because it reflects the reality of Chinese cuisine being regional in China, which adds to the authenticity of this location. And specifically, the west Hunan province. The hallmark, I guess, is that the food tends to be spicy. You may not know, but Chinese food is not monolithic. All in all, this place is pretty cool for that alone but the servings are huge, healthy and affordable. It's great chinese food. read more

I really enjoy the food here. Friendly staff and quality food. It's just another gem that makes Gilroy the place to be.

The Thai food was amazing! Can't wait to go back! I has the noodle soup and it was spiced and delicious!!

This place is a hit and miss. For the most part I always have a good experience. Food is always served fresh. Unlike other Chinese places I gone too bamboo always makes my noodles the way I love.plain! And don't get me started on the hot sauce ps Jenny the waiter is always nice after you complement her read more

I've been ordering from this place for years. I don't dine in, always to go. The only decent Chinese food in the area. My sister and I love the 8 ingredient velvet soup. There's comfort in that soup. They're also good for the combination chow mein, beef and broccoli and honey walnut prawns. They always say 15 minutes for pick up but for safe measure add another 5-10 or you'll be waiting longer. read more

Jus wanna say always been coming here since a kid with my family and idk how they do it but it always taste better and better each time ! Don't matter where I go this will always be my favorite Chinese restaurant! Absolutely delicious read more

If I could put zero stars I would. I walked in and asked for plain chow mein. The woman tells me what kind , I said oh well what kid do you have , being that I asked for plain then was like mom wonder what kind they have. She then says what kind I said what kind do you have, then gets alcrazy rude saying no what do you want, I said well I want to choose again what kind do you have , she says I kid you not, no you need to know and need to know now what kind do you want. I was like omg what is happening right now, I'm like mam forget just plain, I was still going to order but then when she said over 20 dollars for a small cup of chow mein for a kid mind you, I was like ok forget it. She says you didn't know so .... I am beyond pissed like dude I just wanted plain chow mein for my kid and this lady is in a raised voice demanding I need to know , the service here is disgusting. Everyone always told me but I seriously wanted to give it a try but who knew they were all right lol just wow. read more

Bamboo Village Restaurant - the outside of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Gilroy, California

All we got was fried rice and eggrolls, how could you mess that up right? The rice had absolutely no flavor. We had to put it in a pan and add sesame oil, soy sauce and egg to make it edible. I don't mind veggie egg rolls but they didnt tell me when I called my order in. They were hot but soaked in greece and all that was inside was large pieces of soggy cabbage read more

Tried Bamboo Village for the first time and we were 98% impressed. I got Honey walnut prawns, combo fried rice, lemon chicken, potstickers, hot and sour soup and Mongolian beef. Everything was very tasty except for the Mongolian beef. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as flavorful as everything else. The honey walnut prawns was our favorite dish and the hot and sour soup was a close second place. We found our new favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

This is an old-fashioned Americanized Chinese restaurant, but the food is pretty good. For a lunch plate you get a quite large serving of two choices from a rather short list, plus rice and an unusually large cup of tofu-filled hot and sour soup. The food is a little greasy, but pretty good. Twice-cooked pork had lots of strips of fatty and hence juicy pork among the cabbage. The kung pao chicken was more veggie than chicken, and the peanuts were obviously added after everything was cooked, but pretty good nonetheless. read more

This place used to be a lot better. During the last two times I've been here I've been rushed to leave. The waitress comes around and asks 3 times before before you even have a chance to sit down. Today I went in and saw a young employee, I'm assuming she was a cashier, blowing her nose and NOT washing her hands. She would proceed to go to the back to package to-go orders. She was extremely rude to those picking up an order. She demanded a phone number from one customer who had already confirmed an order with another employee. The customer was forced to call the person who had placed the order. This was an inconvenience that I thought was unnecessary. Now, she might've been having a bad day but she should not be that nasty especially to loyal customers. If an employee is coughing and sneezing, they NEED to go home. Beware of the young employee with thick black glasses. Rude and snappy, cannot be bothered while she reads her magazine. Definitely not a place you would want to go. There are other local places that are far better customer service. read more

I am very disappointed with my food... I ordered a chicken fried rice and I found black, nasty stuff in it. It made me lose my appetite and I also ordered a dish named "crispy chicken" and got this very weird, disgusting, chicken with so much bone. This is not what I expected.. I will never be coming back here again. Do not come here, unless you want nasty food! read more

I've always chose to eat at your restaurant because I have a seafood allergy and normally, none of your food seems to mixed when cooked. Until today.... not only does everything have a seafood taste to it, which made me sick. When we arrived at our pickup time, we had to wait almost an hour and a half. Over $65 and I can't even eat my Mother's Day dinner. Disappointed! read more

The food may be sweet, but the service is sour... I had trouble figuring out how to order a dinner combo, and the waitress (owner?) was very curt and impatient as she explained it to me. This is the sort of place where you feel like you're inconveniencing the waiters just by breathing. And sorry, I refuse to shrug and chalk this up to "cultural differences." Eating at Bamboo Village was a childhood treat 30 years ago. I'll treasure those good times, but will stick to Golden House (friendly and delicious Chinese restaurant in San Jose) instead. read more

When I was a kid we would always come here but the problem with this place is that they are so darn greasy. With the fried rice, the bottom is a puddle of grease which is pretty nasty. So we get our Chinese food from China Palace in Morgan Hill. But we do still come here for the wonton soup. Very flavorful! read more

My boyfriends family always orders their takeout Chinese here and it is delicious. My only complaint is their selection of chicken I wish they had teriyaki as an option. Their chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, wontons, Kung pao chicken, and chicken Katsu salad are to die for!! Use their chili sauce to make everything spicy. read more
