    2.5 stars for Bamboo Wok. Bamboo Wok has been in business a long time. When we first moved to Avalon, they were the closest NY takeout style Chinese in the area, and while they weren't the best I've had in Orlando, they were pretty great. They had good portions, good prices and good food. We had no complaints. A year or so later, another NY style Chinese restaurant opened - this one even closer to our home - and they delivered. For no particular reason other than it being slightly more convenient, that new place became our "go-to" for Chinese takeout and delivery. But that didn't mean I had forgotten about Bamboo Wok. I still had fond memories of them and their food - so I decided to grab some takeout for lunch yesterday. Everything about the restaurant was exactly how I remembered it. Still only four tables, plain white color scheme with no decorations other than the ubiquitous calendar on the wall. The service was the same too - pleasant, but not exactly friendly. You can probably guess - the lunch specials and prices were the same too. So far, so good. I placed my order, ran to the grocery next door to pick up a few items and returned to find my food waiting for me. Arriving home, I opened my styrofoam container and something seemed not quite right. Ah! They shrunk the portions a tiny bit. Previously, you could get 2, maybe even 3 meals out of a takeout box. Now, 1 1/2 to 2 depending on how hungry you were. That's OK, not a big deal - I didn't really need -that- much food anyways. The disappointments continued though. The food just wasn't as good as it used to be. The Bamboo Wok of old easily earned 4 stars, maybe even 5. Now, the lack of flavor in my pork lo mein left them barely earning a third star. And speaking of leaving - I doubt I'll be back.

    Very good food. One of the better Chinese fast food in Orlando with reasonable prices.

    Alright I can understand that fast food Chinese won't ever be amazing or anything, but at least get the food out in a timely manner. The other night I was sick and wanted some soup to settle my stomach so I ran over to Bamboo Wok and ordered 2 quarts of Wonton thinking it would take a short time to ladle it into a container so I could be on my way and back to bed. There were no other customers or take out orders and it still took almost 15 minutes. I can usually put up with sub par food because it's quick and affordable and at least a little tasty, but in this case it is not any of those. The broth was almost all salt, the wontons were slimy, and there were no vegetables in it at all. I would never recommend this place to anyone even if you live really close like I do.

    Fast food Chinese is Bamboo Wok's game, but quality and taste certainly are not what they are good at. Fast food Chinese, in my opinion, is never really good anyway, but this place is definitely on list of places not to return to, which is a shame because they are only a few miles from my house. While they may be quick in preparing your food and the cost cheap, I can't imagine their food is healthy of worth the calories. It's not well done, it lacks flavor and the grease is just a bit too much for my liking. Even the "healthy" stuff seems bad for you. Not a place I recommend...but I'll let you be the judge as to whether or not you should give it a whirl.

    Decent chinese food. You can't really mess up Sweet and Sour Chicken or General Tso's chicken. They get it out fast. Just wish it was a bit better quality.

    Bamboo Wok has pretty good Chinese food. They're a couple dollars cheaper than Summer Palace, but the portions are smaller. I don't think they deliver, either. Still..solid takeout in downtown Avalon.

    Had lunch today at Bamboo Wok and wished I had read the Yelp reviews prior to Ordering. The General Tao's Chicken was very bland, and the plate was mostly roast pork fried rice. The few small pieces of battered chicken were more battered chicken scraps than chicken meat. For all those who compared it to New York style... You are wrong. I have eaten at many New York China Town restaurants and this is nothing like it. Yes the place is clean and convenient to residents of Avalon Park and so close to Publix and other stores it just seems like the logical choice. I think they can do much better to give the food some flavor and maybe buy some quality meats to put in the dishes, not use bargain basement brand meats. For $5.95 lunch specials don't expect much because you won't get much.

    Average to slightly below average Chinese fast food. Typical "kit" restaurant with the same menus and offerings as other places. My expectations were pretty low, but not even met (for flavor & quality of food). THE GOOD -Food seemed freshly prepared -No food poisoning -Fried rice was good -They allowed me to sub out pork fried rice for veggie fried rice at no add'l charge -Veggies were fresh -Large portions for what you pay -Egg rolls are large size -Fast preparation (maybe 10 minutes) -Adequate service THE COULD-BE-BETTER -Not a lot of meat in the Sweet & Sour chicken - lots of breading (see photos) -Sweet & Sour sauce tastes a bit watered down -Sweet & Sour chicken does not come with veggies or pineapple. It is just weak-tasting red sauce and lots of breaded chicken (mostly breading) -The flavor of General Tso's chicken was lacking. I've had MUCH tastier General Tso's chicken elsewhere, like Fusian Asian Bistro (for the same price, too) -Service without a smile - it was kind of sad being in there to pick up food -They do not deliver OVERALL Meh. If you live in the area, I recommend China Chef (on Avalon Park blvd. next to Tijuana Flats) before the other Chinese restaurants around.

    I ordered a few years ago a couple of times and it was horrible. I stayed away for 3 years. This is a shame because I live three minutes away and it would be very convenient for me if only the food was decent. Fast forward to last month, we placed an order for some lo mein, beef and broccoli, eggrolls, wonton soup, and it was pretty decent this time. I don't know if they changed owners or changed chefs but they have definitely improved. I would not say it is worth going out of your way to get food from here but not so bad if you're in the area and you want some decent take-out. Side note: we use to order for many years from the Chinese restaurant in the Eastwood shopping center but that went totally downhill last year when they change owners. That is what prompted us to try this place again after many years.

    My wife and I were visiting another business in the center and decided to grab lunch here. When I walked in I really did not expect much. The dining room is small and plain and the prices for the lunch specials were very reasonable which is usually a sign that the food would be pretty bad. Wrong! I got the Mongolian beef, which could have been spicier but I have never found it spicy enough for me. It was quite good though and the beef was very tender. The portion was huge so I also got to enjoy it for dinner.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
