Green Bamboo Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Elizabethtown

We usually go to buffets so for my birthday last night I wanted some real Chinese food and selected this restaurant based on reviews. Frankly, I do not understand the good ratings. The rice was served in a plastic bowl with a lose fitting lid which left the rice cold in a short time. The chicken sweet sour was flavor less with a sauce similar to buffets (as comparison: in my husbands hometown you’ll get crunchy yummy flavorful chicken with a sauce that contains fresh vegetable and pineapples). I had the half crunchy duck which was the spine and a couple legs, slightly burned barely any meat. In my hometown (Germany) you will be served a big crunchy golden brown breast (no bones) on a bed of fresh vegetables with a delicious orange sauce. Here I felt I payed lots of money for bones... Tge soups were nothing special, you get better ones else where. The egg rolls were pretty good. My son had chicken low mein with rice which I don’t understand why it was served with rice but ok. The chicken lo mein was a good size for children’s menu and tasted pretty good. I won’t be coming back and just stick with the Chinese place in my husbands hometown whenever we go there I guess or maybe check out...

Racist. Zero stars because they don’t even deserve one. I will not eat here again. My husband and I were seated at a table where the white tables cloth was visibly soiled/dirty. I showed the server and he then moves us to another table where the table cloth was also visibly dirty. I folded it under just so we could eat and leave. If I was by myself then I would have just left. Unsanitary and nasty to eat at table where someone’s spills are touching your clothes. The service afterwards wasn’t any better. The server never came to check to see if we needed anything or if the food was ok. We sat our cups out for a refill. The server proceeded to refill the drinks of the guests behind us, refills my husband’s water, and skips over my empty cup. I thought well maybe he is coming back to refill it. No, he goes and refills another table’s drinks. I was the only Black person there and darker skin complexion… seemed discriminatory and racist. That’s how it came off because why would you refill everyone else’s drink but mine….We will not...

I had the chow mein. The taste wasn’t to my liking, so I ate my side of steamed rice and asked for the check. The server asked why didn’t eat it nor want to take it home, I said ‘don’t worry about it. Please bring me the check so I can pay and leave’ and finished off my soda. The server sent the manager who asked me again why didn’t I eat it. I stated that I did not like it, and once again asked for the check. The manager turns to my mother to rant about “they must have wanted lo mein. Why didn’t they order lo mein?” and proceeded to talk about how I didn’t know the difference between the two dishes. I got flustered and said “I am well aware of the difference between lo mein and chow mein, I didn’t eat it because the flavour is terrible”. Manager left in a huff and sent the server to collect my payment. Very bad, bland food, and even worse people. Do yourself a favour and get the frozen Asian food at the store. It at least tastes like something, and you won’t be humiliated by arrogant, presumptuous...
