Bamboo Garden Restaurant — chinese in Lakeview. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. Big plates at fair prices. Good for vegetarians, open late. Liam Humel (MrCroobie): "Their fried squid is absolutely phenomenal and I wolfed it down"

“I enjoyed the chow fun a lot, and the dumplings were delicious”
Tried bamboo garden first time yesterday because Peking Chinese Kitchen was closed, biggest regret ever.
The food was okay. I got mooshu pork and pot stickers and crab rangoon.
If I ask for utensils for egg foo young, I don’t want chopsticks!

Possibly my new favorite late night spot?? 🤔 This place is amazing if you're looking for plentiful options that satisfy your late night (and any time) cravings. Sizable portions, great flavor, and classic Chinese yumminess.

“Go to place when I'm feeling for neighborhood Asian-Style Cuisine.”
Go to place when I'm feeling for neighborhood Asian-Style Cuisine. Also the fried dumplings are delicious with their house made soy-garlic sauce.

“The food was okay.”
The food was okay. I got mooshu pork and pot stickers and crab rangoon. So far I'm pleased with the quality of the food but the quantity is very disproportionate to the price, so therefore not worth it. DO NOT bother with the appetizers here. They are decent but it's NOT worth the price for what you get. Take a look at how small these pot stickers are, less than half the size of any other restaurant anywhere. My favorite Chinese places in the city I can barely fit 1 pot sticker in the sauce container and they usually give you 6-8. I can fit all 4 of my remaining dumplings from this place in the sauce container - that's how small they are. And how much unnecessary fried dough there is with very little filling on the crab rangoon. Each of these appetizers cost $8, so $16+ for barely any food at all, certainly not shareable for even 2 people. I don't appreciate restaurants that cheat you on size and charge you thru the roof, that's bad business. The mooshu was a good size for the price and not bad, but you'd be better off getting food from somewhere else that will charge you the same or even cheaper prices and actually give you bigger portions.

“An incredible dining experience.”
An incredible dining experience. The food was UNBELIEVABLY good, the portions were generous, and the price was so reasonable. Even now, having ordered the hot & sour soup to be delivered, I am so happy. Showed up steaming hot (and again, a huge portion). So worth it, will be returning, 10/10 no notes.

“My family and I consider this a "late night" Chinese restaurant.”
My family and I consider this a "late night" Chinese restaurant. Food is always decent and service is super fast. The staff is always polite. The restaurant is always clean, but you don't go here for fancy atmosphere.

“This place is so good.”
This place is so good. I always order their beef and broccoli hands-down the best in the Lakeview area.
