I went to Bamboo Garden to order carry out. I ordered fried rice and an egg roll. I requested extra soy and sweet and sour sauce. When I opened the bag there was no egg roll, only 2 packets of soy sauce and one packet of sweet and sour sauce. I do not think I was charged for the missing items, but they did not seem to have listened to my order. The fried rice was a very large portion, not too greasy, good amount of individual ingredients, but was kinda tasteless. There just was not any flavor that made it stand out above average. The service was fast (there were only four to six people in the place) and not unpleasant. I would give them one more shot, but I always order fried rice first to test a new place, and they did not really impress with the simplest of basic asian staples. Pros: fast service Cons: don't listen well

Bamboo Garden is a terrible place to eat. They exploit their workers. They only pay their HispanicI kitchen workers $5/hr (well below minimum wage) and they don't pay over time or give them breaks. Furthermore, they completely mistreat them by constantly yelling at them. I would encourage anyone who cares about labor rights to stay away from this place.

We've been going to Bamboo Garden for years. I haven't found a place for Chinese that I like any better. The menu is huge so they'll have whatever you want . If you don't see it, I'm sure they'd make it. We don't go all that often, but the staff knows us and the service is always, always good. It's not the most elegant of atmospheres, but there is a lot of friendliess to it and we'll always go back.

I've only been to this restaurant one time which was today. The reason I gave this restaurant 3 stars is because it is average. The food is average but it is good especially if your hungry because the portions are big. I ordered General Tso chicken which wasn't on the lunch menu but they happily made it for me. The service is excellent. The staff was very friendly and very attentative. The parking wasn't all that great but the lot is big so actually finding a spot isn't a issue. The restaurant is a great place to try and the staff actually get 5 stars from me. Pros: Big portions and big selection, happy to accomadate special order Cons: parking

I love Chinese food! This is my favorite low-key, last minute dinner decision kind of place. The service is extremely friendly. The owner, Mama Wu, always makes her way around the restaurant to make sure your dining experience is perfect. The cooks are always willing to make adjustments however you like. I suggest sesame chicken with jalapenos, orange peel beef, crab rangoon(made with real crab, btw), and hot and sour soup. We always ask for all white meat chicken and they are happy to oblige. My boyfriend is a very picky eater and they even make a special plate just for him.

I don't get what all the hype was about. We ordered delivery and it was ok. It was your average, mediocre Chinese food. We're still on the lookout for some fantastic Chinese in Austin.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a good Chinese place close to where we live, found Bamboo Garden, and go there all the time now. The food is great, the people are super friendly, and everything is very affordable. Especially if you happen to go during lunch. It is a little hard to find, though. I think we passed it up the firt couple of times we looked for it.

We moved to Austin last year and have been looking for a good chinese restaurant to call "home". I think we have finally found it at Bamboo Garden. After reading the reviews here at Citysearch, we visited the restaurant a couple of weeks ago and have been back several times since then, ordering different appetizers and entrees each time to test the limits of the kitchen. The food has been consistently good - even better than expected, and the service is friendly and warm. If you haven't given Bamboo garden a try, you should! Pros: Varied dishes, Family Atmosphere, Friendly staff
