Bamboo Garden Chinese Restaurant
73633 29 Palms Hwy, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277, United States
I think on another day, this wouldve been a 5 star review.We came here around 8 pm on Saturday night to find that the restaurant was terribly understaffed. There was just one woman taking order, serving and cleaning up. Half the tables were occupied, the other half still had unfinished food and plates on them. There seemed to be a line to order take out. And well, the same person was taking those too. When we said we wanted to dine in, she expressively gave a big sigh. A regular customer was nice enough to clean up a table for us and her.Sounds like either someone did not show up or just left. Ultimately, this poor woman had to do everything, had her daughter manning the phone and about 2 people inside cooking.We ordered the garlic chicken, mixed lol mein and the pork dumplings. Food came out pretty quickly.However we ended up with some paper plates and plastic utensils to eat.The pork dumplings were partially cold but we could easily recognise the quality and deliciousness of them. The lo mein is the best Ive ever eaten and same for the garlic chicken. Really good food and makes you want to lick your fingers and the plate off. Ive been to several Chinese restaurants in San Diego where I live and nothing comes close to this.For the price too, its big portions so it ended up being our lunch and dinner the next day.I could see that the main woman was exhausted and shewas sweet enough apologise for the above non-food experience. But in all fairness, I have to give this place 4 stars because of that.I will back again to eat more of this fantastic food and update my rating to a 5 star :)
