Wow. What an experience but unfortunately not for the good. I came in not for the cheap lunch specials but to order a complete lunch 4 my wife and myself.
War wonton soup featured flavorless balls of chalky wrapper not cooked through leaving a nasty chewy doughy texture waiting to get spit out. The wonton broth didn't seem fresh but more like powdered bouillon mix and bits of carrot and celery thrown in. Let me know if im wrong.
The Kung Pao scallops were absolutely pathetic. When the water chestnuts are larger then the scallops you already have a problem. The scallops were worthless pieces of rubber band after i bit two pieces and spit them both out. I asked the waiter to try a scallop and he kind of grinned because he knew they were old. I asked him to taste the scallops and he just laughed me off.
I'm used to shitty service at very good Chinese restaurant but this was not the case.
My wife ordered the flaming steak and after trying to slice this piece of leather and not finding a single decent piece to slice off due to grissle, tendon and connective tissue i pulled out my Spyderco to cut through. Bamboo cafe cafe advertises Choice steaks but this piece of cow was obviously less then Select by the lack of marbeling, advanced gristle and tendon throuout . We left over 95% of the steak on the table and was waiting for the waiter/ maitre d to ask us what was wrong with the steak. Sadly and pathetically that question never came.
If you order a steak at a restaurant and the customers are not eating it should you not ask what the fuck is wrong with it?
My wife reminded me we had a coupon for buy one entree get one free so we ordered the pan fried noodles to go.
I brought it home for my mother in law.
What a final insult. So salty, my Chinese mother in law thought i was insulting her. I was ashamed to have offered this to her.
In 48 years I have never left a zero tip. I actually went to Taco Bell to get the taste of this shitty Chinese food out of my mouth.
I found the service lacking and unprofessional. Perhaps the Help Wanted sign on the front door will find a real Chinese cook. But pity that Chef if the owners continue to serve up the lowest quality ingredients to make a buck.
For those customers who claim this is the best the finest or even decent Chinese food shame on you.
I am NOT going to give one star because it will be eliminated I will simply give 2 stars and you can read this review for what it is thank you.
