A great spot for dimsum in Brooklyn Chinatown! We usually frequent a different dimsum spot in this area, but the wait was expected to be 60mins. We walked here, and were seated within 5 minutes! It has the traditional cart service with your standard favorites, along with some fun innovative buns (piggy custard bun, walnut buns, sesame mochi buns)!

We had dinner here and I have to say, the food was quite delicious. We ordered a lobster dish and they showed us the lobster we will be having before they cooked it. It is pretty loud in here, so we requested our own room, where we could have our own KTV. I would definitely come back again!

My go to dim sum, bbq meat and Chinese dinner spot. Why? Because it fits everything I want/expect from an authentic Chinese restaurant. Starting from enter - long wait lines, super loud from the abundance amount of people, the cart ladies yelling out the food options, the "rude" customer service because you speak too softly and they cannot hear you and they tell you to speak up but you don't so you're wasting their time, etc. Newcomers don't realize this culture and uniqueness to appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, customer service is important but if you don't speak their language, you won't understand what they are really trying to tell you. Being here brings back so many memories of childhood. I've visited more modern dim sum restaurants and it's not fun. It doesn't bring this experience. You order from the menu and get your order. There's no ladies pushing the cart. The restaurants are quite. It's definitely more western. That is not the experience you want entering dim sum. You might as well get take out if you want it quiet. You'll read the complaints from other yelpers and it's quite ridiculous of a read. All the employees have their own sense of humor and personalities that are displayed when they show their food and do their job. Their job isn't easy. They don't get paid the big bucks. Don't be rude to them just like you wouldn't be rude anywhere else you go. Their English is limited. Besides the entertaining richness of the culture in this restaurant, the food. As any location, the closer you get to closing time, the food options become less. Same goes for weekdays vs weekends. That's how restaurants produce less waste. They make their food daily. So expect food to run out. Expect it less fresh at 2pm vs 9am. Every time I fly back to nyc, this is where I always go first to fulfill my Chinese food cravings. Because there is not one dish here that can go wrong. Great quality Everytime. Now with reservations and the private rooms, you obviously have to spend more to get a private room. That's a no Brainer anywhere. Downside about the private rooms are that you don't get to experience the loudness upstairs and the cart ladies. But if you just want to enjoy a meal with you friends or family then downstairs is best. They also have karaoke downstairs in each rooms. Besides dim sum, my go to for bbq meat items. Always made fresh daily. Always perfect. Moving into dinner, you really can't go wrong with any dish. Clearly from my photos I eat here a lot. I don't do many repeats but this one is my expectation. For all those negative reviews where they say the food is 5 stars but the "customer service" wasn't good, you don't deserve to come here. You're better off eating at western location.

Came here for a small wedding banquet. My husband's cousin got married in California (big wedding) but held a small banquet here in Brooklyn for those of us that couldn't make it to the West Coast. This would be my second time here at Bamboo Garden for a wedding banquet. I had hope that the food and service improved from the first wedding banquet I attended back in 2016. Food indeed has improved and it still have the typical Chinese hospitality service. We were in the smaller room, to the side of the main dining hall. There was another wedding banquet that night along with a few open tables for the public as both banquets were not big to book the entire restaurant. Restrooms located in the back, there was a door in the back of our room as shortcut to the restrooms. No paper towels available. There was only a few outstanding dishes as everything else was a typical banquet dishes that represent certain things. Long noodles represent long life. Fish represent happiness and etc...

Typical dimsum spot in this area. I would say my favorite dishes are the sui mai and the bean curd roll. The cart ladies are helpful here and the wait is not long even on weekends. The table cloth is really a disposable table cloth so I think this place is cleaner than others. Otherwise everything is very standard for this area. TIP: Paying with cash is no tax.

I come here for dimsum, lunch, and dinner. It all depends on my mood what I'm craving for and usually I have. A great time dining in and take out. I've been coming here for over 6 years. It's gets busy when it's dimsum time, I would say come before 11am and you'll get a table. The bad thing is that dimsum ends after 1:30-2pm you'll be stuck with the leftovers. Dinners will be best if you reserve ahead just in case- there are usually banquets, parties, weddings, or other celebrations that might go on! Walk ins are acceptable but I rather be safe :) This spot is great for family style dinners. You're going to need about 7+ people to dine here for dinner. Trust me. Come hungry and order 5-7 dishes and soup. Your bellies would be so happy& you'll most likely have leftovers to doggy bag. Lunch time- I do take out dimsum and even rice boxes. I love the bbq meats for super fast lunches. For dimsum take out, there's a form in English & you just need to check off what you like. For other orders, I do usually call it in so I don't have to wait inside. Usually food will be ready in 20-30mins depending how many dishes you order to go. I love bamboo garden and I'm going to keep coming here! Everything is usually flavorful, and lots of wok "hay"

I love the dimsums here. My go to when craving dimsums. It's next to Fei Long Market. Good selection of dimsums. They also have a take out area when you come in through the entrance. No need to come to the restaurant to order some dimsums to go.
