I remember going here with my family for dinner and I would get their (I forgot the exact name) Super Nachos which were restaurant style chips with meat, beans, Mexican cheese, and the rest of the toppings, but these days I opt for a vegetarian Torta or a burrito. Their horchata is deliciously refreshing. Probably the most unexpected part is that they have a basket of freshly baked desserts; it's usually a baggie of cookies, but sometimes little cakes or brownies up front so you can buy some as your dessert or maybe as a snack for later.

Two of my favorites have to be their Tempura Vegetables, which had a delicate crunchy coating while still letting the flavor of the veggies shine through, and their Orange Tofu, which had a spicy-sweet sauce that tasted fresh and homemade but never syrup-y and heavy like so many others I've had before. One of the best parts of my meal was probably one detail that often goes overlooked: the rice. The plain white rice that often accompanies most Asian meals might as well be used to fill small plush toys, but the rice from Bamboo Garden has *gasp!* FLAVOR! Yes, you might actually want to eat the rice that comes with your meal because its fluffy and has a light, earthy flavor that GOOD rice should have.
My parents tastes tend to be a bit more mainstream, so they opt for Beef & Broccoli and Shrimp & Pork Fried Rice. Served along with a pot of Oolong Tea, it makes for a delicious way to wind down, relax, and enjoy a quality, well-prepared meal.
