    Chicken and broccoli with fried rice
    Mauryce J.

    Food was very good and plentiful. I had the chicken and broccoli from the regular menu. My friend had the shrimp and vegetables from the lunch menu. She felt everything was good except the soup. Service was fast and friendly. The interior was clean and tables were spaced so conversation was easy. Parking is tight but more available in the adjacent lot. I would definitely go again.

    Came in tonight. Customer service was great. Got my credit for my food mishap my last visit. Thank you!

    Chow Wok is always delicious and fresh, with quick service every time. We've eaten at the restaurant several times, and it's consistently clean with great service. This is our regular go-to spot for Chinese food. Portions are generous--two people can easily share one dish.

    General Tso's Chicken
    Isaac L.

    Walked in today and ordered General Tso's chicken. To start with, the price came out at around 13 with tips and then on top of that, it was brought out to me fairly quick. The food itself was well portioned but the spice left something to be desired. There was a slight kick, like a baby making its presence known in the womb. With the taste being decent at best, the biggest draw was the fact that after I felt so full that not even grandma on Thanksgiving day could get me to nibble anymore.

    Shrimp fried rice (chicken made at home)

    Tried to call and place and order but it went to vm. Got a text right after that they were with customers and would try to call me back. Never did. I placed an order online for a shrimp fried rice, light veggies and soy sauce. Only thing is I wish it was fried harder. It was so fresh and the shrimp were a good size and cooked perfectly. I would get it again.

    I came here about 4 years ago and now I know why I haven't been back! I ordered takeout for myself and my kids. The pepper steak and Mongolian chicken. First of all the Mongolian chicken was spicy! It was for my daughter who's 7 and she took one bite and said "mommy that's hot!" I tasted it and sure enough it was spicy! I've ordered Mongolian chicken several times from several different restaurants and it's NEVER been spicy. The pepper steak the "beef" was very chewy and gummy. The texture of the meat was absolutely disgusting I'm sorry. I'm sure they have some great dishes because they do have great reviews, however today I was beyond disappointed in the quality and taste of my order.

    My go-to spot whenever I'm craving Chinese-American. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Matt and Jason are always super helpful when I have questions about the menu. The food is delicious every time I order. My top items are the shrimp egg rolls, wings, orange beef, Singapore rice noodle, garlic seafood fried rice, moo goo gai pan, and lo mein. Overall 10/10 service

    Amazing customer service!!!! They even checked on me while eating to make sure everything was good! The black sweet tea is soooo delicious! Very clean inside from the tables to the floors. Food came out fresh and hot, order first and they bring it to you. When I asked for a tea refill (free refill was mentioned to me when I paid for the tea) and to go box, they did seem a little irritable but I guess that's okay to look past, maybe they had a lot to do. Will definitely be returning to try them out again. Time of visit: 3:00pm 7/29

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

Lucky for me, they have their own parking lot, which already made everything super convenient. I walked in around 1:30 PM and was back out by 1:55 PM, so the service is definitely fast and friendly; perfect for a lunch break. The lunch menu has a huge variety of options, and every plate comes with fried rice and a pretty big egg roll. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the quality of the food was fantastic. I can totally see how they've stayed open for 50+ years. I ordered the beef and broccoli... which honestly should be renamed to beef and vegetables, because it came with broccoli, carrots, and onions. Not complaining, though! The beef was tender and kind of reminded me of a beef fajita texture with how flakey and tender it was. The sauce was savory with garlic and soy sauce flavors and I really liked it. The veggies were cooked perfectly for my taste: still a little crunchy and not soggy. My only complaint was the onion. They were a bit too crunchy and raw, which made them super spicy and pungent, so I just moved them to the side. The egg roll was good, too! It tasted freshly made with cabbage that still had some crunch, which I love. Portion-wise, it was absolutely perfect. I finished everything except the onions and left feeling satisfied. Not heavy and not carrying leftovers, which I appreciate because some Chinese spots over serve. I paid about $20 including tip. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place and would definitely come back for lunch again.

Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
