Inchins Bamboo Garden - (Near Sunnyvale, CA)

3 /5 Anirud Pande: The food was average, but the overall dining experience was good. We went here on a Sunday afternoon. We had no trouble getting a table, as the restaurant wasn’t very crowded. The restaurant’s decorations were nice and added to the atmosphere. It has a nice vibe to it. The staff were friendly and the service is good. We started with Chinese Bhel and Crispy Chili Baby Corn—both were decent. We followed with Burnt Garlic Chili Fried Rice, Paneer Lababdaar, and Malaysian Parathas. The food was decent, though it didn’t really stand out. The Chinese items were more flavorful and enjoyable than the Indian selections.

5 /5 Anil: Fantastic place for having a leisurely meal with colleagues. But, if you have done the rounds with the regular true blue Indian fare and want something more, ahem, elegant, this is your spot. Just don’t expect the same Indian food taste - they do an info-chine twist in their menu resulting in such delicately crafted items like Veg Coin, Hakka Noodles, Scheszuan fried rice, not to mention awesome appetizers of Chinese taste but only found in India. I attached picks of the dishes. The ambience hits you with dingy darkness if you step right in from a bright noon, but it gets super pleasant after you get situated into a tastefully done decor, with of course plenty of bamboos. The service is unhurried, pleasant and the staff doesn’t seem stretched. Not sure why they insist on such a large bar area but whatever. It is always empty and dead. May be someone can give it a shot at night.

3 /5 Abhijeet srivastava: Went to InChin Bamboo for an office lunch with a group of 8. There was no waiting, and the service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a lot — Chinese bhel, Hakka noodles, burnt garlic chili rice, Singaporean noodles, masala papad, crispy baby corn, paneer 65, and quite a few more dishes. Unfortunately, while the variety was great, the overall taste was just average. The noodles and fried rice in particular were not that impressive, and some of the chicken and beef dishes ended up being packed to go rather than enjoyed at the table. The highlight for me was the masala soda, which was refreshing and well made. Overall, a decent spot if you’re in the area, but the food could definitely use some improvement.

4 /5 Deepika Manchikanti: The crispy chilli baby corn was flavorful, though slightly too firm in texture. The pan-fried paneer complemented the veg fried rice beautifully. Speaking of which, the plain veg fried rice was the highlight—perfectly cooked and easily the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. The street-side veg noodles were decent, though the noodles were a bit overcooked. Overall, a solid Indian-Chinese spot with great service and a pleasant dine-in experience.

4 /5 Ali Siddiqui: They need a better exhaust! Food was OK,nothing much to it. Service was great. Corn soup was bland. Wings were OK. Crispy Mongolian Beef was very good.
