Review: I love this place, and while it's not the healthiest with all the deep fried items, they're good and vegan! I brought 6 non-veg friends last birthday and they all enjoyed it!

Review: I initially tried Bamboo Garden because the menu looked good, and it was only a few blocks from my hotel. I have to say that the food is pretty dang good here. The tofu was good, both times that I went. The second time around, the tofu was a LITTLE mushy, but still tasty. Everything but the fortune cookies are vegan. I would definitely recommend the tofu!
Pros: Wasn't ever too busy * Good location *
Cons: TINY bathroom stalls, but who cares * * |

Review: I love Bamboo Garden and eat there every couple of weeks. They have a very large menu which is mostly vegan and has lots of variety. Lots of parking space, easy to get to, lots of other things to do in the neighborhood (theaters, movies, IMAX, Seattle Centre, bars, etc. Friendly staff, tasty, fresh food. Try the chowder, General Tso's Chicken and the vegi Salmon. Good value set meals let you try a variety of dishes for a reasonable price.

Review: Four of us ate here while visiting Seattle. It was a bit pricey for lunch and the portions were rather small. The fried orange chicken were large battered balls with a little meat substitute in it. Not very impressed. The non fried meals were tasty enough, just not much food.
Pros: Vegan * *
Cons: Small portions * meat substitute * |

Review: I've been here twice (once for dinner and lunch) and both times have been fabulous. The service has been fast and friendly and the food has been excellent. I had to drag my non-vegitarian boyfriend here and he absolutely loves it too. We both have particularly enjoyed the fried rice (any kind) and the mandarin chicken. The corn cowder they serve is a little odd but still good. If you are looking for a low-fat restaurant look elsewhere. This is your typical fried fare.
Pros: Friendly Service * Excellent Food * Good Value
Cons: * * |

Review: I am totally spoiled by awesome vegan asian restaurants in Philly, so I was a little disappointed by Bamboo Garden when I visited last year. The food was okay but definitely not the best. My dining partner loved the corn soup, but I wasn't a fan. I probably wouldn't go back.

Review: The Bamboo Garden is great when you're in the mood for heavy Chinese food. I don't expect dinner there to be particularly good for my body, but sometimes it just hits the spot. I doubt I'd go there more than once a year if I lived in the area.
Pros: tasty * reasonably priced *
Cons: heavy * * |

Review: Hands down this is my favorite restaurant. Living in Asia now, I have been to many chinese vegi restaurants, but this still tops my list. Every meal I've even had here has been fabulous. We take ALL our non-vegi friends and family here and they love it. This is really good chinese cuisine. Not just your classic greasy chinese dishes, but a lot of variety and excellent quality. No, they didn't pay me to write this. :)

Review: Seattle has a lot of great vegan options, so I can't say that Bamboo Garden is "The Best" but..... they are very, very good nonetheless.
First, they have so many options, you're sure to find SOMETHING that suits your style.
Second, everything (that I know of?) is vegan, how great is that.
Third, the service is so VERY great, quick, quite, courteous and accurate.
This is just regular, reliable Chinese, the same stuff you grew up with, only now it's vegan!! no 5-star Thai spices or new-fangled Pan-Asian combinations. Most everything is fried, some things can be a bit greasy, but the vegetables are always crisp and the mock-meats (of which they use plenty!) are flavorful and creative.
Nice place to take Grandma :)
Pros: Large Menu * Mild food for those who don't like spice * PARKING!
Cons: A wee bit bland for me * Bit greasy * |

Review: I haven't eaten at Bamboo Garden in a while.. Their is competition in Seattle when it comes to all Vegetarian restaurants and this one is sorta disappointing at times.. I have eaten there when it was great and I have eaten there when It was terrible.. The last time I ate there it was busy so when we got our food it was all halfass it looked like someone took 3 minutes to make our dishes it was floverless, unpresentable. Also everytime that I have eaten there.. I try to order something new and everything new that I try is pretty bad.. My fav is the sweet and sour pork or chicken.. other than that I dont like any of the other dishes.
Pros: sweet and sour pork * great parking * all vegetarian
Cons: lots of the food has an odd taste * all fried, possible MSG * small place with odd seating |

Review: We were so pleased to be able to park in Bamboo's parking lot for free in this crazy busy part of Seattle. When we came in, the staff immediately cleaned a booth for the two of us, even though there were plenty of empty tables, and we hadn't even asked for a booth!
The Mongolian beef was amazing - sweet and flavoured with cilantro, yummy and chewy, it beats my former favourite ginger beef dish from Buddha's in Calgary. We loved this dish so much, we're still craving it. It's always pleasing to be able to get brown rice instead of white at a chinese restaurant.
The Stewed mushrooms with stuffed Vegetable roll in Satay Peanut sauce was not so good - the mushrooms were rubbery, there were a few peanuts in there but it didn't taste very peanutty. We ordered this "hot pot" dish to get a healthier choice to go with the fried and sweet mongolian beef. Now I'm sorry I didn't have the lemon chicken instead.
As an appatizer we had the crispy fried taro root patties - the menu says they are "spiced", but they were bland, squishy and uninteresting, a waste of $4.95
Service was good and our dishes came quickly, we were there for dinner late around 8. If I didn't live so far away, I would go there again for the Mongolian beef alone and try some more dishes.
Pros: free parking * delicious food * fast service
Cons: Taro root patties - bleh! * * |
|
• I have had great experiences at Bamboo Garden (introduced to me by an omni boyfriend, of all people!), but we once made the grave mistake of ordering the terrible taro root patties, too. A dark spot in a sea of otherwise good experiences.. response by dirtandskirts

Review: I was shocked to have such terrible food when I ate at Bamboo Garden in August 2007 because of all the wonderful reviews I read here. Our fried bean-curd nugget appetizer was undercooked and the tofu inside was completely liquidy. My husband's entree was equally as terrible - the soy sauce had no flavor, and his bean curds had the same undercooked problem. My mock chicken left a lot to be desired. As far as vegetarian Chinese places, I thought this place was awful and I wouldn't go back.
Pros: Friendly staff * *
Cons: Undercooked food * Too many choices * |

Review: I had the Fried Potstickers, Chicken Lo Mein and the Wonton Soup. I loved the lo mein and potstickers but I wished there was more to the soup. My water was kept full and it actually tasted good. My jasmine tea was great and the dished my friends ordered were well liked. I'd go back!
Pros: Good food * sweet neon guitar *
Cons: Small, weird bathrooms * portions could be bigger * |
