    The ambience was really good.We first ordered hot and sour soup which didn’t taste that good.. Then ordered pan fried chilli fish in starter which was really great..In the pic the one with red colour.. In main course we ordered basil fried rice it had shrimp and chicken pieces the taste was great.. In the pic the one sprinkled with spring onion.. Another main course was red chicken thai curry.. they served it with plain rice.. It also tasted good.. the pic with black bowl.. The taste is more like coconut milk present in it.. The staffs were also good ,everything was served in proper time. We were three and the quantity was sufficient .You can ask them to change the spiciness level based on your taste.. Also there’s parking space available right behind the restaurant..

    We went there on a Friday night around 8pm and waited for 20 minutes for a table (which is normal- they didn’t take reservations when we called around 5pm). We ordered multiple dishes; Chinese Bhel, Sambal Lamb and Burnt Garlic Rice with Chicken and all were really good. Sambal lamb was very spicy. Chinese Bhel was a perfect starter. We also ordered a Fried Ice Cream and it was awesome! Service was good, though a bit overcharging for gratitude for a table of five (21%).

    Awesome! Very Spacious restaurant. Liked the ambience like any other Inchin’s Bamboo Garden. We stopped here while our way to Yosemite and it did not disappoint. Amazing food and the waiter was nice and courteous too :) . Do try the Nature’s organic ice cream right next door. Best ice cream I’ve had.

    MUST try here the Pan Asia cuisine. One can find good varieties of Indan, Malaysian, Chinese and Thai cuisine here. Dishes I have tried Street side chow mein chicken, Kashmir Lamb, butter Naan, chicken 65 fried rice and all were very tasty. Naan here one adults need 3 pcs if not ordering other rice dishes. The Naan here is puffy and very soft. During Friday night and weekends expect a heavy crowd and plan for 20/30mins waiting if you are doing walk-in. Better to reserve the table in advance. Parking place consider the one front of Murphys Ave. Also one can park in nearby other Free parking places.

    Halal indo Chinese food in the Bay Area and very popular among the Indian community here. Got takeout from there. Portion sizes were decent. For some reason food was on the less spicy side. Favourite were the chilli potatoes but felt that they were cooked in ghee or dalda (indian margarine). Second favourite were the Hakka noodles - very thin noodles cooked with veggies and lightly spiced. Final choice was the chilli chicken - pretty standard - nothing to complain but wasn’t wow’ed or anything. Wish it was more spicy. I wish they had given hot sauce with the food! I am really looking forward to being able to dine in their restaurant!

    This restaurant is located in downtown Sunnyvale. There are other locations around the Bay Area as well. The parking is a bit difficult on weekends and Friday evening. The waiting was minimal. We ordered couple of cocktails named Indian sunrise and Bombay misbehavior( vodka based and Bacardi rum based cocktail respectively). The first one was for fruity and mild on the alcohol. The latter one has a great balance of spices and alcohol. We also ordered crispy chili potatoes, chilli garlic fried rice and chow mein. The food was really tasty and the portions were filling. They also have an assortment of table side sauces which are really tasty and also complement the food very well. The one thing that was off-putting was the fact that the staff was hurrying us to vacate the seat for seating others, even though we were just packing our leftover food in to-go containers.

    Good food. Crispy chili baby corn, paneer 65, and Chinese Bhel are favorites. I would advise against getting the main dishes here and suggest to stick with the Indo-Chinese bites. My only complaint is that most of the menu is some variant on “deep fried thing in chili sauce”, but the food is tasty! Happy hour deals are fantastic and the ambience is very nice.

    Located in Sunnyvale downtown. The wait time was minimal on Friday night. We ordered couple of appetizers and entrees and they were served quick to the table.Service is consistently top notch and there was always staff coming back to make to see if we need anything. Inchin Bamboo is great for those who would like to have a fusion of Indian and Asian (IMO). So, it definitely has something for all type of food lovers. Been here many times in different cities and will definitely continue to return!

    Ambience is always great! Service is consistently top notch, never feel forgotten, and there is always staff coming back to clear your table, and ask if we need anything. Tall Indian host has been here for a while and is great at his job! Bamboo Garden is great for those who have families that want a little variety for each person! Best part is that this place gets crazy packed on weekends and evenings and the service never shows any sign of stress or lesser effort. Been here many times and will definitely continue to return!

    A very nice Indian Chinese fusion restaurant in Sunnyvale. Ambiance of the restaurant is really very good. They have a very selected Chinese and Indian food menu. All dishes are selected carefully and put in the menu. They have a bar and serves wine, spirits, liqueur and beer. The staff is very friendly, polite and helpful. Service is very prompt. We were served starters and main course together😊maybe as explained by server that they were about to close the kitchen. Taste of food was excellent. The food taste reminded me of my favourite restaurant in New Delhi “The Golden Dragon “. It perfectly matches their taste. I also like the condiments supplied with food, basically table sauces and dips. Their lettuce wrap is worth trying. Sweet and sour prawns and chicken Kung pao was also very tasty. Didn’t try their fried icecream but seems that is also very nice.

    I have visited this place multiple times. Baby corn chilli, pepper chicken and burnt garlic fried rice are my favorite. Other dishes are hit or miss. There are vegetarian options on the menu too.

    This is my third visit to this place and the food is at comfort spice level. Can give it a try, if you are a fan of Indo-chinese cuisine!

    TOP TIER BEST INDOCHINESE FOOD IVE EVER HAD… COMING FROM AN ASAIN! So many vegan options, yes please! Soups were so good, i recommend the sweet corn so delicious!! Masala papadum was better than how we make it at home definitely worth it. The gobi manchurian dry was the best and most crispy flavorful ive ever had. Hakka noodles were alright, nothing special. Server was always asking us how we liked it and constant refills of water. Ambiance so cute and peaceful! Literally amazing food and ive had alot of indochinese before

  • 5/5 Manasi J. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here with a friend who has never tried Indochinese food in the Bay Area. We ordered Schezwan fried rice, chilli garlic noodles and Chinese bhel. The staff was friendly. They even took our pictures! Our order came in a timely manner. The food was delicious. Our first time trying Chinese bhel outside of India and we loved it. We couldn’t finish everything since the portion sizes were huge! The prices were reasonable. Highly recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Vigyta B. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited this place last week. This is our favorite restaurant for Indo Chinese cuisine. Our favorite food is Veg Hakka Noodles, Veg manchurian ,Veg fried rice. This time we saw that they also serve Indian veg north indian cuisine too. We tried Chinese Bhel and Masala papad. They were just so yummy. The bhel was crunchy and the masala in the topping of papads was just perfect. We also ordered American chopsuey and a couple non veg dishes. The mango chicken one was very good. The only thing we did not like was Monchow soup. The soup had something pungent that hurt the nose and it just had too much soy sauce . We did not like the sharp taste of the soup. Rest all the dishes were good. We did not try the north indian menu but will go another time to try it. The ambience is very good and the servers were very nice.

    I have been here in the past (pre-covid). The restaurant has a very nice ambience and is put together in a nice way. I particularly liked the bar area. I recalled that the restaurant can get busy but we went for a late lunch and surprisingly we able to get seated pretty quickly. The waitress we had was excellent as was all the service staff (refilling of water etc). We had a few of the items from soups to noodle dishes. My hot and sour soup was good but a relatively small amount. The rest of the items were not particularly memorable and the chili noodles just tasted like pasta with a chili sauce, it was disappointing. The dish didn’t taste as “Indo-Chinese fusion” as I am used to. In fact I had a similar noodle pre-Covid that I remembered was a lot better. The other dishes were also quite average. However, I would come back as service was good, ambience nice so it’s a good place to hang out with friends … The food however I would say was average. Perhaps next time I’ll choose some different items.

  • 1/5 Bandana G. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was busy but we didn't have to wait too long. The service was quick but the food wasn't good at all. Mostly very bland. Ordered the Chinese bhel, hakka noodles, Kung pao paneer, fried momo, and Thai yellow curry. Chinese bhel and Kung pao paneer were decent. The Thai Yello curry was very bad. It was super watery and had no taste to a point where we had to return it (I never return food). When we asked the server they said "it is what it is". Probably not the best answer. They did take it back and did not charge us. Hakka noodles were very bland to a point we were dumping a bunch of sauce in it for flavor. The fried momos were very bland and completely filled with oil. The oil was dripping everywhere.

  • 3/5 Nicholas P. 1 year ago on Google
    3.5/5 - food is excellent, everything else, not so much This place offers classic dishes with minor tweaks that really bring out a unique experience. Would recommend the butter chicken and black pepper lamb. The rest of the experience was less enjoyable. Our server was hard to reach and it took forever to put in our order. The atmosphere of the spot is also a bit weird. The restaurant is dark and tried too hard to be fancy. The food is also quite expensive for the portions.

  • 4/5 Meenal B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few places with a Desi (read Indian) touch! Their chicken tandoori momos are a must try! Not to forget, their plethora of crafty cocktail options to order from. The food was good, service quick and staff courteous.

  • 4/5 MoonRule 2 years ago on Google
    When you walk in, it looks expensive due to the design and all the decorations. Surprisingly, it's affordable like every other restaurants in downtown. When you get in, the staffs will greet you and guide on where you need to sit. They will check up on you a few times to see if you're ok or need anything else or clean up the dishes/refill your water. Now onto the food, we ordered Five-spice lamb, Wings of heaven, and Kashmiri lamb curry. The curry was full of flavors and delicious. However, the wings and lamb were lacking something. Luckily, the restaurant provide you with their own sauces which was so good. For the vegan options, they had a lot of those and more than most places. Very nice addition and would recommend trying this place!

  • 2/5 Tanya K. 2 years ago on Google
    The chicken noodles we ordered hardly had any chicken pieces. The soup was overly tangy and the Chinese behl did not meet the standards of a true Indian chaat which we expected. The place was super crowded. Service was quick but lacked flavor.

  • 4/5 Hemanti D. 2 years ago on Google
    In Chin's Bamboo Garden, is located in Murphy Avenue. Indo-Chinese Cuisine. Many options for Vegetarians and Non Vegetarians, freshly cooked dishes makes the experience amazing. Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale is a trendy destination for an afternoon latte, and a late-night drink. The area is easy accessible by light rail, bus, commuter rail, and automobile, with various public transportation routes passing through and nearby parking lots available.

    Nice liked it food and service very good ''' Chinese bhel and veg sezwen dumpling''' is the must try,

  • 2/5 Tushar K. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor quality of food and service. Food didn’t have the real INDO Chinese flavor. Staff seemed like they wanted to rush us out even though the restaurant was empty. Standard seems to have declined over the last couple of years.

  • 3/5 Krishna D. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting place for Indian and Chinese dishes, and some Indo-Chinese renditions. We had a party of 8 and the waitstaff was attentive and did a great job. The older gentleman seemed to be a bit grumpy. One of the soups was not brought along with the rest and this person said it is because we ordered it late. Excuse me..? Soups were alright. Crispy baby corn chilly, momos, were good. Chinese bhel lacked flavor. Paneer garlic was good. Veg Biryani was poor, more like a student version of fried rice, but it’s not a prudent choice to order a Biryani in an Indo-Chinese restaurant. Hakka Noodles was good, Singapore noodles was really bland. Cocktails seemed too pricey even by Murphy street standards. Overall, it was kind of hit and miss. Good to binge on some appetizers and drinks with colleagues, not to have a memorable dining experience with food as the highlight.

  • 3/5 Tushar R. 2 years ago on Google
    It seemed to be very popular restaurant with lots of crowd dining in. The ambience is amazing. The presentation was great. Overall I would give 2 stars for the food: we ordered chicken hot and sour soup & chicken dumplings. Both were pretty decent. The main course Kashmiri lamb was not that great, the naan seemed undercooked and surprisingly had coconut oil aroma (which was off for me). The Malaysian paratha was okay. However, upon letting the manager know, he made the naan complimentary. The other staffs were polite too. 1 extra star for the manager & service only. Thank you.

    I will go to Bamboo Garden for the Hazy Temple drink only. It's amazing. I can't even remember what I ordered, but it was really yummy. I don't normally consume mammals, but I tried my friend's Five Spice Lamb and it was good. It was tender, and she enjoyed it greatly. The portions are enough for left-offers, and the food was the same cost as my drink. :) I'm happy to have found Bamboo Garden.

  • 4/5 chandrashekhar d. 3 years ago on Google
    I tried quite a lot vegetarian food from there. My favorite was pan fried chilli paneer in appetizer. I also loved the chilli burnt fried rice. Also cauliflower Manchurian is must try and the gravy for that is awesome. Noodles was OK but I would not try it again. For dessert I tried the fried ice cream and it was good too. Overall great indo Chinese food. I really wish the noodle becomes better. Price is on the higher side which is why 4 stars.
