Inchin's Bamboo Garden

This place is not halal. Has happy hours and full bar! How does alcohol makes this place halal? If I wanted to see alcohol everywhere I would go American place.

I am going to try to eat lunch here every Monday. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they have a lunch special--a chicken dish, egg roll, soup, and fried rice-- for just FIVE DOLLARS! It\'s one of the best values I\'ve seen at any restaurant ever. I honestly couldn\'t believe it was so cheap when the bill came. I HIGHLY recommend checking them out for lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays. This place is owned by the same person who owns Southern Spice, which is right next door. Both of these restaurants are beautifully decorated. Unfortunately, both of these restaurants also serve a TON of alcohol. But, both restaurants have told me that their meat is halal. Like Southern Spice, the menu at Inchin is highly varied, and there are many items which I\'ve heard of but never seen available at other halal Chinese restaurants. I think Orange County/LA\'s two most well known Chinese restaurants (Mas and Nomad) taste much better, but those are both also pretty far away from Irvine. For anyone in the area, I would recommend this place. The food is good, the menu is incredible, and it\'s a nice classy place.

I usually avoid writing negative reviews, but this business has left me no choice. I purchased a $300 gift card on December 28th, 24 and canceled it the next day. They assured me that I would receive a refund. On December 31st, while dining out with friends and family and spending around $500 on food, I inquired whether I could use the gift card for payment since I had yet to receive the refund. They told me to pay with my card instead and assured me that the refund would be processed within a week. Fast forward one and a half months later, despite multiple follow-ups, I still haven’t received my refund. This has forced me to file a dispute through my credit card company. I’ve been in the U.S. for 13 years, and I have never experienced such terrible customer service.

As a South Asian who has traveled to India o can vouch that this place is authentic! My favorite food is Indo-Chinese and outside of India it is difficult to find good places. My favorite food is Cauliflower Manchurian and this place did not disappoint! I felt like I was 12 eating in India, the flavors were on point. My daughter lived the authentic Hakka Noodles. This is now her favorite place, no more Panda Express. Plus she ate all of the vegetables in the noodles ? My son wouldn’t try anything new so he had the chicken nuggets with fries which were also delicious. I ordered my husband the Chicken Butter Masala which was different then expected. Full of flavor but not as thick as we would expect. I am going to order him the Thai Red Curry next go. We were so bummed there weren’t any leftovers ? This will be our go to for eating out. Also everything was so fresh like we made it at home?

I don't know why this place doesn't have more stars for the rating. Food and portion size are both really good! All the food comes piping hot and the portion sizes are massive! Definitely recommend the place. All the entries come with rice on the side (good amount of rice) so think about that when ordering. Veg Hakka noodles was so light and flavorful and had a really nice taste of its own without any side dish needed! Chili Vegetables were actually VERY spicy! Don't get me wrong, I actually love spicy food and found the chili chicken (which was supposed to be spicy) a good dish. But this dish was actually hella spicy! Definitely take the rice on the side or some fried rice or haka noodles to neutralize the taste. Vegetables were cooked perfectly tender and the sauce was nice as well. Just very spicy. Loved the Chili Chicken (dry). Chicken is cooked well, not too much batter coating outside the actual pieces or anything like that. Spice level was perfect and reminded me of Chili Chicken I had at an Indo-Chinese restaurant in India. Only downside is that there were a lot of onions in the plate to fill up space. I would have appreciated more chicken in there. Chicken Manchurian was also very nice. Not super sweet, not salty, not tangy. Just a very good flavor. Good amount of gravy in there as well, and went nicely with the Hakka noodles. Husband got the Mango Lassi and it was very thick and strong mango flavor and actually super nice. I had a hard time stopping myself from finishing it up.

The mixture of traditional Asian cuisine and Indian (I understand, they’re also Asian but different) threw me for a loop. The food was fine though, we first had the veggie egg rolls, then I had the butter chicken with garlic naan, while my wife had the chow main. The place looked amazing, and the dishes they used were very beautiful. Service was fast and very polite, and dishes came out quickly.

Located adjacent to Southern Spice, the ambiance of this place is appealing, and the service is commendable. We ordered chili baby corn, garlic noodles, and Szechwan fried rice. The chili baby corn was passable, but unfortunately, we couldn't even finish the remaining dishes as they were not up to par. The food was unappetizing, lacking freshness, and even had a bitter taste.

Overall few items tasted good. I always like paneer starters in this place and Paneer 65 tasted really good and momos are not good. We didn’t like soup, the hot and sour soup is too thick and didn’t have a taste and it tasted just like soya sauce, so we did not complete it. The Burnt garlic fried rice is OK and the Chili Garlic noodles is on the sweet side, it has average taste.

Ordered Chicken Noodle and it had rice and portion of chicken was very very small. Been ordering food very frequently the quality has really gone down
