My family and I are visiting Gold Coast as tourists. After 2 weeks of many different cuisines, we thought we will switch to Chinese for a change since we haven’t had Chinese for 2 weeks and we were delighted to dine at Tasty Bamboo Garden. Service was tip top with the lady owner greeting and serving customers. We ordered Hot and Sour soup, XiaoLongBao, Spring Rolls, Peking Duck, Crispy Noodles with duck, Beef Brisket Claypot, Claypot Beef intestine with pickled cabbage, garlic stir fry organic cauli-flower and Mapoh Tofu. My kids and I loved all the dishes. The Peking duck (12 pieces for a full duck) tasted great. The cauli-flower, duck crispy noodles and the Claypot beef intestines were the highlights for me. Service was attentive and dishes fairly price. With the above dishes we ended up paying slightly less than AUD200. So really deserves a 5 star rating. If am to be picky, I would pick on 2 things: 1)I prefer the whole Peking duck to have 16 pieces instead of 12, so that the duck and pancake amount is just right. 12 pieces is a bit too meaty for me. 2) The Mapoh tofu tasted well but not authentic as it carries less spices & herb taste. However, these 2 points are personally preference, the dishes are still very tasty and deserves 5 star rating.
