Fried dumplings, crab rangoons, orange chicken with rice and vegetables, and sesame chicken with rice. Came with eggrolls.

I was looking for a good Chinese spot in Tallahassee and I'm so glad that I found this place, they're quick and the food is very very good. They also put a lot in the box.

I have no idea if this place delivers. I wish I found out before I left. But after getting my food I just wanted to go home and stuff my face. So the wait sucks! No matter what you order they will tell you 5-10 minutes. The guy in front of me ordered everything on the chicken and pork menu and the cashier still said 5-10 minutes. So I go over to Publix for 15 minutes to come back and have to wait an additional 5 minutes. But the food was great. So not bad. In addiition the portion sizes are huge. I order dinner. Eat half and save the rest for lunch the following day. And the food still taste just as good the next day.

I ended up getting a bento tray and Mongolian beef. Everything was realy good and every feeling. Great Asian cuisine for a cheat day and overall quality of the food was very good.

Babies crying, people jumbled everywhere, and a buffet setup that was super packed together near everything else. The good: host sat me quickly and my server was polite and super quick. I guess they got this down to a science? The bad: everything else. How the heck are these reviews high? This place was packed but I felt like if I coughed, it would be all over my neighbor and the food. It was a cluster f. I did the buffet. While they had a lot of options, it was jam packed together. And you bumped into people trying to squeeze through some areas. The sushi was mediocre. The sweet and sour chicken was off. The fried rice wasn't warm. Even my tap water tasted funny. I couldn't finish my hot sake because it tasted off. The wasabi and ginger even looked funky (I will say the wasabi had a nice kick). Best part of my meal was leaving. The miso soup was the only decent part. I should have learned my lesson from previous Asian fusion places but I guess I trusted the reviews on this one. It's clear to me; a lot of people don't have an educated palate.

This huge place has an almost overwhelming variety of choices, all of them mediocre. I've been here…read moretwice but have decided that I won't be back for another try. We were seated promptly on both visits, and the wait staff are very pleasant and helpful. I'm a big fan of most types of Asian food, but I didn't find anything here that was outstanding. Some of the dishes were very cold, as if they had been made in advance, refrigerated, and then reheated for the serving line. I can understand why they would do this, given the huge number of dishes on offer. Still, $42 for 2 people (including soft drink and a tip) seems a bit much for what you get.

However, with restaurant prices rising the way they have been, I'm not mad at Chow Time at all. I appreciated during the first months of re-opening after COVID, gloves and masks were provided (and strictly encouraged). From hibachi to sushi to seafood to hot food to dessert, I don't think you could leave Chow Time hungry. And you're also not going to break the bank and feel like you're not eating your money's worth like you would at a more "luxurious" buffet. While prices have risen over time, I do think it's still remained affordable in a time where eating out has been outrageously overpriced. Definitely great for big groups and picky eaters - Chow Time! Nothing fancy, nothing mind blowing but definitely hits the spot.

Tallahassee, FL: Craving some Chinese takeout? Look no further than this local establishment. With…read moreprices rivaling those of Panda Express - but with food that is actually tasty - Bamboo Wok is a must for quick and easy takeout. Despite driving past Bamboo Wok numerous times in the last couple years, I have never ordered anything from the restaurant. Having tried their food once at a friend's house, I was unimpressed. I am glad, however, to have given them another chance. I ordered my food through Door Dash and had their food delivered. Whether that's on Door Dash, this restaurant, or my general close proximity to the restaurant, my food arrived steaming hot. I was impressed by how vegetarian friendly Bamboo Wok's menu is. I ordered the garlic broccoli which was delicious. The vegetable lo mein was similarly well made and only slightly oily. The only dish I didn't care for was the cream cheese rangoon, which was way too sweet. Having paid only about $15 - not including the Door Dash fees - I was plenty happy getting about four and a half meals from one order. Though I can't speak to the location - having ordered my food and never eaten in the restaurant - I'll definitely be ordering from here again. The garlic broccoli alone is worth it.

Amazing. Some of if not the best takeout style Chinese food i've ever had. Staff are quick and…read morefriendly. When they say they close at a certain time, they mean it. As long as you're there fast they'll make your food till the last second. I'd recommend the spare ribs and the mai fun. One last note of import. THE FRIED RICE IS YELLOW. Egg rice is way tastier than brown fried rice.

Bamboo Wok - This is the "mild" general sao. That has no spice to it what so ever and as the owner said it should be sweet and spicy.
