I had food from here before and I never had any problems with this place, and I usually leave good reviews for restaurants I go to. I'm not trying to seem like a brat when I write this but oh my goodness, I can't believe what I got. My family ordered orange chicken for me and picked it up because I'm having pregnancy cravings and I was so happy I began eating right away, half way through eating I saw somethings little odd and I freaked out but I'd decided to calm down a check, so I take what I saw out and clean it a bit to get a better look at it, I had found a freaking worm in my food! Now I know accidents can happen, I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and think " Maybe it fell in when they were packing the food" but it would be alive if that was the case, and it would have been found in-between the layers of my food (between two pieces of chicken) I'm so lucky it didn't stick to the one I had on my fork. I feel sick after finding it and have already eaten more than half, I was so hungry when I got it I can't even bring myself to throw up. I threw the rest of it away, that just completely ruined my appetite (it looks like it was just an inch work but it's still a worm in a place it shouldn't be nonetheless) Don't they check the food while making and packing it? It's definitely the pregnancy hormones getting the better of me but I'm literally crying right now!

I have been a big fan of Chan’s for many years. I always order the same thing, Vegetable Lo Mein. However, I’ve noticed within the last few months the food has gotten very salty. The flavor is still there (delicious!) but I can barely make it through a bit without needing to drink water. Wish they could tone back on the amount of sodium. Customer service is always nice and staff is great.

Very nice buffet selections. Our Friday night dinner was good. The food quality was great. They have prime rib, crab, several different kinds of shrimp, a hibachi bar, sushi and much more. The soft drinks are not included in the price and is a separate charge. Decent atmosphere other than the servers eyeballing you and checking your plates LOL 😆... But I felt pressured and rushed as the server lady kept wanting to give us our check. We weren't even there for 25 minutes and she tried bringing the checks.. Needless to say I didn't tip 🤡😅, Yea sure, the food was good... but she kept staring over at our table like we were never gonna leave. And we were in an out in under an hour.. And since when did Chinese restaurants stop giving out fortune cookies...? That's the best part... 👀 They gave me candy mints or something... Cheapskates.,.... 🙄👎

We went on 12/25 it was packed, with fewer places open, the price was increased however, we were 4, the line moved quickly. Our waiter was nice and attentive to refills. Buffet had a bit of everything.

I love this place! I've been eating there for probably ten years (at least)... very rarely disappointed. I keep coming back, so I must like it! 😁 The shrimp is always tasty, chicken too. Mom has had a chicken dish she didn't like once, but I never have. They are always friendly and its worth the price. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the fortune cookies, but that's so minor that it doesn't affect my rating. If you live here or you are visiting and you want tasty Chinese food fast, this is the place! My partner says it reminds him of "New York style" whatever that means. They are good about swapping ingredients if you don't like something (for example, green bell peppers) and they will give you chicken fried rice or veggie fried rice if you don't want the pork. Very accommodating! I highly recommend this place. 👌

I always go to another Chinese place in town but I wanted to use a Door Dash gift card and they didn’t have my usual restaurant on DD. I settled on Hot Wok and the portions were huge, arrived hot and the food was so fresh and delicious. I’ve never had general tso chicken with such a crispy exterior and so tender in the middle. And the sauce had a great flavor. The egg roll was a standard egg roll, nothing special but was good and the fried rice had a very good flavor (served in a little Chinese takeout cardboard box). Though it isn’t really close to me, I will probably go out of my way to get Chinese food from Hot Wok from now on. The chicken was just SO good. And I will probably have leftovers for a couple meals!

Decent orange chicken (not spicy at all) and the sweet and sour chicken was really juicy. The chicken with cashews was pretty bland. The service was super quick though. Friendly staff. The pork fried rice was already but the pork in it was not the best and picked it out.

Well packaged to-go food. Food was super hot and delicious! Not a place to eat inside (sterile and cold) but definitely recommend ordering take out from here.

Came in and placed order : Small veg. chow mein large pork lo- mein . 1 egg roll small hot and sour soup Wait time 20 mins - Cost $27.50 1st thing I tried when I got home was the chow mein . Very small portion for almost 7 dollars. Tasted a little on the salty side. Next , tried the lo- mein . VERY salty and noodles were way overcooked , almost on the soggy side . The egg roll was OK. not the best , but OK. The hot/ sour soup was a mess . It was laden with a lot of tofu and looked as if they just added leftovers of what have you. It was also oily to taste . By the way , for all the food I ordered, they only gave me a half pint of white rice .. A half pint . Bottom line , Overpriced, overcooked, and over it .

Egg rolls are good. Low main was way overcooked but tasted okay. Beef and broccoli was good but the fried rice was not very flavorful. Over all the food was not bad for the price. It was also very fast and service was good.

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience. We are celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary and I'm so glad we decided to come here to celebrate. I was blown away by how delicious the food was. Also, the portions are bigger than I expected. Even though they were short staffed, the waitress was very kind and made sure we were cared for, despite the situation. I definitely recommend the sweet and sour chicken and the chicken lettuce wraps. We will definitely be coming back here soon, without a special occasion!

We went for an early New Year's Eve dinner. Everything was delicious! A little expensive, but the experience is worth it!

I had a great experience at this Chinese restaurant! The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Our food came out quickly, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the sesame chicken with pork fried rice, and it was delicious – the flavors were spot on and the portion was generous. I'll definitely be coming back!

This was the best Chinese place I went to in gainesville. At first, I was hesitant because of the reviews and the outside look however i gave it a try! When I first entered I saw a little kid working so I knew this spot was gonna hit. It was a local restaurant owned by this very kind and lovely Chinese family. The mother was our cashier and she was amazing. She had the kindest soul I’ve ever seen. She gave me free water when I couldn’t pay for it and would give free meals to the homeless. She deserves the world. For the food, I ordered Noodles with General Tso chicken and it was the best chicken I’ve ever had. The chicken was juicy, saucy and crunchy and the flavor was spot in. They filled it to the brim and they would always ask if we needed help with anything. Great place, will definitely come again.

Got orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken. They were decent but not a huge fan of the. They both came with white rice. The large orange chicken was a little pricey for the size.

Food is really good, got the chicken skewers and large boneless spare ribs. My issue is the boneless spare ribs is a size large and you can't order smaller size on uber eats. The large is NOT large! For $18 you get a medium sized container and half is fried rice and half is the spare ribs! This is not right and the entire container should be spare ribs if it's listed as a large size and for $18. That's insane! Will not order again.

Bamboos is absolutely the best Chinese in Gainesville. Everything is reasonably priced for a lot of food! The owners are so sweet and kind. They are always smiling and make sure you are taken care of! I love this place and always will!

AMAZING family owned restaurant. Best Chinese food in all of Florida. I’ve been going to Bamboos for almost 7 years now and they’ve watched me graduate from high school and college. They truly treat you like a family and it’s my favorite spot in the world. I love Bamboos ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My server was a fantastically kind and professional young woman named Adrian. She took my order perfectly and delivered it to my table with everything I needed. She was attentive to my table during my dining experience. The preparation of the food was exactly as it should be. Everything arrived hot and fresh as ordered. Relaxing music was playing while I ate and sat under the blue ambient lighting. Overall, a very lovely experience. Special thank you to my server, Adrian, at Newberry Gainesville, for being a positive part of my day and experience at Bento’s.

Food was great. Staff was friendly and service was good. Location is hot. The A/C definitely isn't working properly and it felt absolutely gross inside. We went for a local fundraiser. The heat inside is absolutely offputting enough that I doubt I'll eat on-site there unless it's been addressed.

Went to the soft opening and all of the staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming! The bourbon chicken is really tasty and their teriyaki mushroom is also really flavorful and thankfully not soggy 🙏 My friend had the Korean chicken bites and she said they were very good and not super spicy. The food does not feel too greasy and I will always pick this place over Panda Express since it’s the same price.

Free samples available - and more types of entrees - much better thb Panda Express (which is right next door). Limited seating inside. And little parking = 3 spots (altho nearby parking lots will have space). Chicken was warm instead of hot, but still tasty. How we, food is pretty salty. Place just opened and manager there is trying and checking on tables - so decent service. Place is also clean and nice atmosphere - just small on tables. Might eat again and definitely better than Panda Express

One word describes this dinning experience, Delicious! First time dinning at the Red Rice Kitchen and from start to finish it was an enjoyable dining experience. My party ordered crispy vegetable rolls, steamed dumplings and seafood Rangoon's, all beautiful prepared and delicious. For main courses we had the garlic rice with shrimp and the crispy chicken soup with egg noodles. Everything was flavored beautifully and again, delicious. Our server was professional, attentive and friendly. Authentic and Quality! Highly recommend visiting Red Rice Kitchen.

I love this place! The atmosphere is peaceful and sweet. The food is authentic and delicious. I had the Pad Kee Mao(Drunken Noodle). It was so flavorful. I love the homemade noodles. And the crispy roll was really good too. The server was so attentive. I felt very taken care of. Looking forward to going back.
