When I walked into order the ambiance of the place was wonderful. There were smiling faces of people enjoying their meals and the staff was amazing. If you are kind of iffy about going out to eat or even ordering takeout, then this is the place to go, they have a wide range of foods on their menu that are sure to satisfy anyone even the little ones! I typically order the pineapple chicken, which in my opinion is the best. In most of their dishes, there are fresh vegetables, like pineapple chicken there are pineapple slices (obviously), and fresh broccoli. You can adjust the portion sizes to fit your meal, if you don't want rice they will put more chicken and vice versa.

This little place has good fresh and generous portions of Oriental food. It is a small restaurant that makes up for the size with its food and friendly service. We were visiting this area from Michigan to Shipshewana and made a side trip to Middlebury and so glad we did and would recommend a stop at Bamboo Garden.

Wonderful local Chinese fare. The place appeared clean and all workers were friendly. This family owned place was humming with orders, so I think the locals have also made this a staple. Value was great. I preferred my lo mein to the Kung pao just because I liked the texture and veggies better. Sauce was good on both though. I appreciated that we could order a sauce free dish which he needs because he has Celiac. It's super close to the Pumpkin Vine bike trail and they have tables, so we may stop and dine in next time.

Large menu, tasty food. The only things I don't like are the soups (seem oily/greasy to me) and the ratio of meat to veggies (especially onions) in some of the dishes.

Great tasting quality food! Crab rangoons were very tasty. Usually pretty easy to pick-up your carryout order to go.

Small place across from the Coachmen plant. Got 2 lunch specials with wanton soup & pork fried rice included. Everything was hot & pretty tasty! I really enjoyed the chicken with broccoli. The broccoli was not over cooked & was fresh and perfectly crunchy.

For a quick take out to your home or eat in your car while traveling this little Chinese restaurant is OK in my book. More than enough food with the lunch special. Really enjoyed the wonton soup. Adding a little hot sauce and soy sauce to my cashew chicken did the trick. I certainly had enough food for another lunch portion. My husband enjoyed his sesame chicken. We will keep this tiny place on our list as a potential stopping places in the future.

While staying a long weekend in a town close by I saw this take out joint on yelp. Me; loving egg drop soup and willing to travel to the end of the world for a quart I knew I had to go for dinner. This place is off the charts bomb. With just a couple of drawbacks this joint could be lethal to my sodium levels Upon getting there you'll notice it's a small place in a small strip mall and if you aren't actually looking for it you won't see it. That said, the parking lot is a tad bumpy just war for holes. It's family owned and like I said small so expect only two tables if you want to dine in. It's really meant to carry out for sure. Super friendly and well speaking and well understands English. Main reason; the food is made as you order. I mean made from fresh ingredients they have nearby. Even the soups! My egg drop soup was made on the open fire in a wok and I was able to see him add the ingredients to make this appealing soup. And it was HOT. FRESH AND HOT!! For awhile too. I wasn't able to eat it for about 2 hours post ordering and it was as if they just made it. And oh man the taste danced in my tastes buds letting my brain know that indeed this was fresh. I love soy sauce. A lot of soy sauce. And they didn't give me enough. I even asked for 20 packs and she laughed and happily obliged. Price was typical for take out Chinese and the servings were a great size. They serve lunch and dinner so come often. Order the soup and an entree. And then Enjoy!! You won't be disappointed.

The food is usually served hot and fresh and is quite delicious. This place has very limited seating but have always found a place to sit. Your food will be served on styrofoam plates with plastic forks which I'm ok with. I recommend this restaurant and plan to return soon.
