I always order the same plate . sweet and sour . Chow mein too no rice Delicious .love the flavor and texture.wonderful workers so nice clean too read more

Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing Chinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you. read more

First let me say my hubby was right the lil hole in the wall places have the best Chinese food . Came across this lil gem on our way back from the Turlock flea market . So glad we did the food was piping hot and super fresh tasting best flavored Chinese food I've had in a long time . Big portions too . We ordered the kung Pao chicken , chicken fried rice , house chow mein ,pot stickers, and popcorn chicken . We ate a good portion at the restaurant and not exaggerating we brought home enough for the next two days . We will definitely be back . read more

Good food and service. They would have to place an order online. They only have to call an order. read more

They're Chinese food is OK not my number one favorite but I definitely will go back just hard to find in the back of the shopping strip mall

The sweet and sour pork meat had a burnt taste. I didn't care for the noodles either. Not for me.

The food here was decent and the price was fair. I usually go with the honey walnut shrimp at every Chinese restaurant. My first time here, I order a combination plate and wasn't aware that it came with a free appetizer until I over heard another customer who choose fries as his free appetizer. I asked the cashier about the free appetizer and he gave me an option to pick from. I chose spring rolls which came out late and cold on the inside....Will I go back? I don't think so. read more

Dissapponted but happy the roach made its appearance before I ordered food! The place looked sketchy looking but was recommended to me and I have always believed little hole in the wall restaurants make the best food. read more

Lucky Bamboo - Garlic chicken with fried rice and chow mein - Cantonese Near Me - Modesto, California

We tried this place last week. Let me say, you get a TON of food for the price. However it's just... bland. Nothing really has any distinguishable flavor. Rice was old and hard. When I went to eat my leftovers the next day, I took a few bites and had no desire to finish it and wound up, throwing it away. One combo plate could easily serve two people for lunch. if you don't mind doctoring your plates with hot sauce and soy sauce and giving it more flavor yourself, then you won't be disappointed with the amount you receive for the price. The man at the counter, taking orders was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was pretty dirty and loads of dust everywhere. Overall, pretty mediocre and I don't think I will be back. read more

Love this place! Hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant ever! Their pepper chicken is to die for. As is their chili sauce that comes with it! Their foil chicken is also equally amazing. Only place we go for Chinese now! read more

Oh. My. Gosh. This place is SO GOOD. We ordered many different things and all shared them (with a TON of leftovers) and I loved all but one dish. Not a huge fan of the chow mien, but is not the flavor. The flavor is top notch, but I'm a texture girl. Most places I'm not fond of the chow mien, so that's not a surprise. You can even choose how spicy your food is on most dishes. Excellent! My favorite was probably the string beans. Soooo good! All of our dishes had vegetables that were cooked perfectly, nothing soggy. We will DEFINITELY be back. read more

Spent $12 on this plate keep in mind these aren't like the regular small plates you get at any Chinese app these are the large plates they are well served I ordered a combo broccoli beef with I don't know what else tbh I'm drunk rn Lmfaoo there was forsure fish in there too ask for soy sauce the fried rice needs it giving four stars because they didn't give me enough siracha read more

Lucky Bamboo - a take out container of chinese food - Cantonese Near Me - Modesto, California

Food quality was poor. Service was great and fast but the flavor and quality over all was meh.

Love there food! This is the only place my husband and I go. It is hole in the wall, FYI but some of the best places are.

This place is located on Yosemite Blvd in the heart of the sketchiest area of Modesto, but don't let that deter you from trying this place out. It is THE hidden gem of the Chinese food industry. I initially tried this place because I was searching for the best Wor Wonton soup. I have tried at least 10 places in Modesto/Ceres and this place won hands down; like they blew the other places away. I then tried other menu items and I have never been disappointed. They have a combo plate section that not only lets you choose 1 or 2 entrees, but it allows you to choose an appetizer as well; ranging from foil wrapped chicken to fried fish or prawns to egg rolls. There are 18 choices of entrees to choose from that most other places don't even offer on their combo plates. Prices for the combos range from $7.25-$9.25 and the servings are GINORMOUS . The restaurant itself isn't really inviting as far as location and interior goes, but it's family owned, the service is awesome, the food is cooked fresh with fresh ingredients and if you live nearby, they also deliver for free if you order $20 worth of food. If not, there's always GrubHub. Get a to-go meal (or two) on a Netflix binge night; you won't be disappointed! read more

Was in the area and decided to give this place a try. The outside surrounding area is not the best looking, but the service from the employee upfront was friendly, and the location looked clean for the most part. I did enjoy the chow mein because their noodles are thicker than your usual ones, but the orange chicken was just okay. I would return for their chow mein and possibly try another side dish. read more

We ordered a family meal from here and for the price, I couldn't believe how much food we got! Every thing was pretty good, nothing overly amazing about it. I did love their sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice combo chow mein were all good. I did however not care for their general tso's chicken. I'm spoiled and very particular about my (American) Chinese food. This place over all was ok and like I said previously, the prices are so cheap! I ordered our food from DoorDash. They included all normal fixings-chili paste, soy sauce and fortune cookies. read more

The best food ever!!!!! Amazing and the price is so good!!!!! 10/10 stars . I had there Mongolian tofu and the vegetable chow Ho Fun it's a thin noodle dish omg so dang good!!! read more

I'm sad to say I will no longer order from here again. Sad bc the food was actually good. Ordered from them last Thursday, as I was serving my kids I saw roach in my chow mein order. I took all the food back and requested my money back. read more

We got the dinner for five on New Year's Eve (a tradition in our household). This was our first NYE in town and decided to try a place close to home. The food was actually really good! The place doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but the food will change your mind. The amount that you get with the dinners was enormous as well. Had leftovers for the next day. read more

Very delicious. The food at Lucky Bamboo are better than Panda Exress without the long lines. The noodles are much thicker and tastier than Panda Exress as well. read more

Best Chinese food in Modesto never disappoints. Good service very friendly would recommend highly.

Really tasty Chinese food and they are quick for call in or walk in orders! Reasonably priced...

Good is excellent and the place is spotless clean even though the strip mall is sketchy.

My favorite food place in Modesto :) it's actually really good. I always get shrimp fried rice and wonton soup :) never dissatisfied!

Delicious food, with excellent service. I really enjoy their sweet and sour. Definitely one of my favorite in the area, and not expensive either read more

Love this place so far so goodThis place is so good and it is so close to home love this place

Well Yelpers I'd LOVE to give this place a ZERO RATING...But because I cant...My family was hungry, nobody felt like cooking or going out. So I say "Hey, let's order delivery." After deciding we didn't want pizza AGAIN, we agreed on Chinese. Oh Lord I pray we don't get sick! Never having been to the restaurant or trying theirfood before, we relied upon the Yelp Community. I have to say this is the first time ALL YOU YELPERS out there LET US DOWN! I'm NOT sure why anyone in their right mind would give this place a 4 star rating!!! We ordered the meal for a family of 5. Now mind you I, myself typed in and clicked each item selection. Needless to say 20 minutes after the delivery time that was given to us, a very courteous young man delivered our COLD FOOD, minus one of our entree selections. By this time the kids are hangry, my husband is hangry and I'm apologetic for this disaster. So, I get on the phone to try and make this right. When the Man answers the phone he says "Hello." I had to ask if I was indeed speaking to the Lucky Bamboo. He said yes. I attempted to explain what my problem was. The Man then makes an excuse for the food being late and cold as they had 5 other deliveries and what did I want him to do. I also explained that one of the entrees was missing and again he asks me what I want him to do. I explained to him that he was the business that I was utilizing and that he needed to tell me what he was going to do. He said that they would make another entree and deliver. Here we are 45 minutes later...still no entree and better yet we had decided that we didn't want it as the food that we did eat was HORRIBLE!!! I have tried to call this business back, SURPRISE SURPRISE NO ANSWER!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUYER BEWARE!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR $$$!!! WE JUST THREW AWAY $60.00 LITERALLY! IT'S ALL IN THE TRASH... PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY ANYONE? read more

Has been my go to place for the past 4 years now. Definitely worth trying their salt and pepper wings they are so great as well as their salt and pepper pork. If you are not big on chow mein try their thin crispy noodles all I ever order. They are one of the fastest Chinese places in town and definitely a hidden gem you will return to. Have not had a bad experience yet and will continue to be a patron for a long time. plus the portions are pretty great read more

Lucky Bamboo - Cantonese Near Me - Modesto, California

I've always placed an order for pick up and so far it has been pretty good. Their crab puffs are always good. Everything is pretty good enough to satisfy my cravings for Chinese food. The honey walnut prawns, I wish it was so battered but is mainly what I like to eat with my rice. So definitely will be my go to place when I want greasy Chinese. read more

I love Chinese food and this place has some of the best plates of food I've ever eaten. The personality and hospitality you find at this restaurant is exceptional. I have to admit I love the food here and the warm welcome I receive every time I stop in for diner. Give this place a try and you'll see what I'm talking about, I'm positive you'll come back for another visit. This review is by James Engle...and I give Lucky Bamboo Restaurant a 5 star rating. read more

Eat there three times. First time was just OK, except the too go food was full of juice that they didn't warm me about, the bag had holes in it, so the juice ran all over my spotless, immaculate classic car! . The second time I ordered a full meal of their General Chicken. Their General Chicken tasted like Orange Chicken, was in just chicken & sauce. And the chicken was sooo over cooked I could hardly chew it! . Finally, I ordered the Baked Fish. Asked if I could please get the Tartar sauce that the photo showed. They said yes, so I ordered it to Go. Asked them to please put the receipt in the bad. They said they did. When I got a couple of miles to my destination, I open the bag. No receipt!!! The fish is cold!!! No tartar sauce!!! What's worse, the only sauce is sweet & sour sauce, which is full of sugar and color dies, which are excito-toxins!!! The fish tasted terrible, and it was hard as a rock from being over cooked, that I brock a tooth trying to chew it!!! And that was all there was, just cold, bland, hard as stone over cooled fish. And no receipt!!! The day I will go back to Lucky Bambo will be a very cold day in hell!!!!!!! read more

Let me sum it up right in the beginning. The place is a total dive that serves great Chinese food. I give the food 4 stars and the real estate 2; guess that averages to 3. Husband and wife owned and operated. She greets and waits. He cooks. But he won't so much as cut a carrot until someone orders something. Which means everything is made fresh and precisely to order. Frankly I haven't found better Chinese food in LA. Who knew you'd have to come to Modesto to get good Chinese? I will come back next time I find myself here. It's that ok. read more

They actually take the time to cook your food and you're able to see pictures of the food before you order it. Will definitely eat here over Panda Express. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out since it is so close to home. I got the combo plate with garlic chicken, and won tons. I thought the pork fried rice and chow mein lacked flavor. The won tons and garlic chicken were delicious. For two meals for $11.95 can't beat that. My husband agreed that East China Town is still number #1 in our book. If we were ever to eat here it again we would just get the individual servings of chicken or beef. read more

They always mes up my order and im a regular they never want to redo my order smh but the chowmein is bomb.com the best but please keep the order right read more
