Let me preface, We love Bamboo Garden. I’ve had about 10-15 orders over the past year or two. But man the order we just got was by far the worst Chinese food ive ever had. The fried rice was bland as can be, had maybe half an egg, and had zucchini in it! Never seen that before. And the sizzling rice soup tasted like watered down chicken broth. I hope that their normal kitchen staff was gone or out of town because if this continues I can’t be spending my money here.

With all my due respect to the hospitality and deliciousness of this kitchen - kudos to the chef! - I’m downgrading this place to 4 stars with hope to see some renovation soon. Other then that, here you go: From the moment we’ve entered, our team was greeted with respect and offered seating (yes, it was about 2 PM on Tuesday, so it was not busy). We’ve noticed that customers kept coming and going on average 3 to 4 tables occupied for inside dining, and that’s outside the fact that in one hour they’ve served over 20-30 to-go customers including cool guy in a wheelchair in no time, in-n-out just providing your cell phone number and picking up pre-packed lunch. Our dishes served at no time steaming fresh with Green Sautéed String Beans standing out over Cumin Lamb. House Fried Rice, if you are to order one, will fill you and two more accompanying friends. Dumplings with Szechwan Sauce from Chef were soooo juicy to die for. Make sure to kill ’em while they hot. Service - there’s no way you gonna be ignored! This private owned biz has the stile in serving fast and with the smile. Just don’t waste time. On top all of that you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the bill, that’s cheaper then some fast food restaurants. Overall we glad that we’ve discovered this gem, that’s so close to our home. Xie xie sister Dan add will see you soon.

Ordered pepper steak at lunch. Included fried rice, spring roll and tea. Attentive service and quick food served. Happy with good quantity and price. I will return. Pic attached

Small strip mall shop that just recently changed owners. They are SUPER nice and the combo special plate was delicious. I upgraded my fried rice to BBQ pork fried, ordered cashew chicken, added a spring roll and waited to see what happened. First to arrive was delicious hot and sour soup. Then my lunch special plate. There was so much food on it there was no way I could even eat half of it (and I am a big dude who arrived hungry.) Next thing I noticed was real undiluted soy sauce bottles on the tables. This is the only place I've been to in decades that doesn't water down the soy sauce to extend it down the street and around the corner. So I used one dash instead of half the bottle. Thumbs up ACME for that! Bill not incl a tip was $18. What a deal . I'll be back to get some things to go. Acme - my new favorite to-go spot!! Check my pix:

The restaurant stops making food an hour before close. If it's within an hour of close, DEFINITELY go to the one in pleasant hill. This is a poor people's panda express. It's half the quality of any of the other ones in the area. I live right next door. Trust me, I know. They no longer have vegetarian options like eggplant tofu. As soon as they stopped serving vegetarian options, I stopped going. Trust me! Go to pleasant hill. It's way better

Hard to beat for quick takeout Chinese when you really don't want to cook (or can't). Very few vegetarian options, but otherwise a good variety is always available. The food is always good and the service is amazing.
