Inchin’s Bamboo Garden

Huge portions, fresh food, great ambiance, great service. A beer, apitizer, and main course set me back $ 40+. Will I go back? May be, the sevice was excellent.
One odd thing, most dishes had a ‘dry’ option for a dollar more. May be that would have gotten me tastier food.

When it comes to Chinese cuisine I can’t control myself n especially if it’s Indo Chinese. The food was excellent over here and the quantity is good as well for the price. The only thing that bothered me was the quantity of soup for the price. The quantity of soup was very little compared to the price. The soup was very good indeed but I felt that the quantity is too less. Rest of the appetizer n main course items quantity n quality price wise is really good. Loved the schezwan fried rice n garlic fish over here. I don’t recall having this schezwan taste in us other than Bombay chopstick which is on the expensive side. Taste wise I should say bamboo gardens schezwan dishes are more on the spicy side and tastes better. Also loved the crispy chilli baby corn and chicken 65. Tasted their veg friedrice and vegetable red Thai curry and I should say they were great as well. I also liked the variety and option of sauces that were there on the table. If you feel like that the taste is not as you expected you have a option to sauce it up and bring it as per your expectation that’s what I did with the veg hot n sour soup. The Tom youm soup was also really good. I would visit this place again n again the only request is that to increase the quantity of soup a bit its really less.

Food was very average. Fried Rice and Noodles were good. Manchurian fish was salty. Way too expensive for the quality and quantity of food served.

The best Indo-​Chinese I have had in Chicago. The crispy chilli baby corn reminded me of the Chinese food back home in know Kolkata. The fish Manchurian also needs a special mention. The chilli paneer stands out.

Recently dined. The restaurant ambiance is nice and they have an island bar in the middle with plenty of Tv’s incase you want to watch a game or enjoy happy hour. As for the food we tried a variety of objects but nothing hit the spot.
The chilli shrimp had a nice flare of onion but lacked spice. The chicken dragons fire was pretty good and probably the best option for non-​veg appetizers. It was cooked to perfection and they have a substantial amount of sauces at every table which provides a nice touch.
The hakka noodles were bland and the noodles were tad chewy. I was not a big fan. The chilli chicken was solid and again perfectly cooked. The vegetable curry was bland and felt watery.
Desert was interesting and I enjoyed it. We ordered the darsaan with vanilla ice cream which was unique and pleasant.
I’m not sure if I will return but if I do I suggest getting non-​veg options over veg.

We (work group) went there multiple times, but finally stopped and took it off our list. Food quality is getting worse, and always TOO much salt in the soup. However, its a nice and quiet place to sit and enjoy your food (if food is served good)!
As common in Indian restaurants (India house and Bombay Chopsticks being exception), we never expected good service. You don’t feel like quite welcomed here, rather staff shows casual attitude.
When I pay more than the average eating places, I always expect good service in addition to good food. This place was closer to our work place, but we all decided to switch back to India House and Bombay.

Awesome food. Very good sauces. I love the food here. Note. The food is little spicy. Which you won’t find in authentic Chinese restaurant. But if you are Indian you would love it. Drinks are ok. Only thing I didn’t like and couldn’t give 5*s is because of the service. I’m not sure what’s the problem. I didn’t see servers falling short but for some reason they take hell lot of time to serve you or even take the order. They took almost ten mins to serve water. They are cordial though. But too slow. Overall good place for food…

5 stars all around. Excellent service and explanations offered with a smile. Nice ambiance. Dishes with great flavor. Very reasonable prices and good portions, enough to share. Definitely not the tired old Chinese fare of Chinese American dishes.
We went on a friend’s recommendation and glad we did as we were passing through town. We had Cauliflower Manchurian and lettuce wraps for lunch. Both were absolutely perfect in taste, portions and presentation.

3 stars entirely for their sauces! They have a variety of sauces set out on the table, each tastes really good! But I was really disappointed with the slow and rude service though. One lady of the 3 owners seemed very rude. Our appetizers took half an hour to come and we had to tell the server twice to give us the sauces which were there on every other table but ours.
Overall, the food tastes good and you have a lot of options.

Horrible service. Bland food. Overpriced in every sense. Makes for a terrible experience overall. Look for other alternatives. Will make sure I remember to avoid this place in the future!

I feel like what they lack in flavor they try to cover with chili flakes/​powder. A majority of the foods I tried were just spicy on top of spicy, with no real flavor in between. The interior is super neat, and their staff is very friendly. They make their own drinks and sauces. It’s hard to describe what super spicy yet bland food tastes like — I guess kind of just like that lol. The baby corns appetizer was probably my favorite item. Szechuan chicken, white rice and the fish dish were so bland. I have no idea where the seasonings were in there at all. The veggies at least seemed really fresh in every dish. The dessert was yummy and sweet and crunchy. Like the Asian version of Mexican fried rice! I sadly will not be back, but I appreciate them hosting a nice Unilocal Elite event there!

Visiting this Inchin’s Bamboo Garden for the first time at a Unilocal!event.
I’ve tempered these thoughts by the fact that it was a fairly large group event. I’m not sure, but it seems there were serving a good 75 eager and critical customers. ;-)
First, the welcome by the staff was good. We were guided to our tables, and shown the bar for our choice of beverage. The décor was tasteful and comfortable. Having an asian (Indian and Chinese — hence ‘InChin’) flair, there were Terracotta Warrior elements throughout.
The bar service was solid, if not stellar. Good interaction, but lacking swiftness. The drinks which came with our event were beer, wine and chosen mixed drink which I never got the name of. Basically, fresh blackberries, crushed with rum. Decent, but a bit chunky for a regular straw. Tasted like basic Bacardi (or similar) rum. Flavorful and refreshing, if not so easy to consume.
The food was interesting. We tried three appetizers and three main dishes, followed by one dessert.
Our first appetizer was Crispy Chili Baby Corn. it has a nice flavor, with sweet and spicy well balanced. The Shrimp Pepper Salt was made with nice sized shrimp sauteed with green chili and onion, and was medium in spice. The third appetizer was Ku Chow Chicken. This was billed as very spicy in their menu, with chicken, chili powder and spinach. The was the most monochromatic of our dishes, with only the flavor of the chili powder. Not exciting, and though indicated with a three star spicy rating on their menu, maybe just a ⁷⁄₁₀ on the hot scale. Blah.
For our main dishes, we enjoyed Chicken Thai Curry, which was pretty good. A standard Thai curry dish, with a fair amount of spicy. Nice flavor and balance. Fish Creamy Chili Oil was OK. This was a creamy /​cheesy sauce over tilapia pieces. Not bad flavor, just not particularly creative. It also was spicy, but not the three * spicy they bill in the menu. The Szechwan Chicken (I’m guessing this is what this one was) was good, and also well balanced. A little salty, but not too bad. With these, we had bowls of each Burnt Garlic Chili rice and what I think was Hakka noodles. The rice was actually very good on its own, though fairly spicy. As a side for the other dishes, it didn’t go particularly well. It especially clashed with both the tilapia and curry because of the differing seasonings.
Dessert was Darsaan with Vanilla Ice Cream. This was vanilla ice cream with fried noodles, sesame seeds and honey. I guess it was OK for what it was. Nice texture with the soft ice cream and crunchy noodles. I’m just not much of a dessert person and may have chosen something different.
Overall, the food was decent, but the concept was very good. The prices seem expected to maybe a little high, but the creativity of the menu items would make this a fun place to visit. My rating, also, is based solely on the food and atmosphere since the service was for a large group event of perhaps 75+ people. Yes, it could have been faster, but considering how many people and tables we had, it’s hard to give a good review. The attitude of the servers and passion for the concept of the manager and reps was infectious. I’d definitely recommend visiting once to try something different and make your own decisions going forward. NOTE! Be prepared for dishes on the spicy side, and ask for less spice as they are able. They seem to be able to recommend dishes in this manner.

We visited as part of a Unilocal Elite event, and I have to admit my wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. The overall hospitality and service were wonderful. The cocktails were really good (See No Evil was my favorite, but I also enjoyed the Emperor’s Elixr.
The food was outstanding, our appetizers were a Spicy Chicken dish, Crispy chili baby corn (vegetarian and awesome!) and Pepper Shrimp.
Main courses were Garlic rice, noodles, Coconut curry veggies, Schezwan chicken and Tilapia.
The crispy, pastry dessert with ice cream topped all off nicely.
If you like spicy, well seasoned foods, this is definitely the place to visit. My wife and I will return!

I must say this place was great! And if you like spicy food this will be the spot! Ive visited this place from a Unilocal event invite, I had a great time/​experience Jaqueline I will say really rocked this by putting this event together based on my experience considering I arrived a few minutes late because of traffic. This restaurant was awesome, drinks were nice/​tasty. All the food we sampled had a kick to it so spicy was the main thing, staff was super friendly, place was super clean, bar area was 360 which is nice to have. I will definitely return to this spot, I did not make it to the ladies room so I cannot comment on it. Also forgot to mention place has booth sitting, tables or you can also sit at the bar.

Went here for a Unilocal Elite event! The environment is pleasant, it’s comfy, the lighting isn’t too intrusive or dim, the decorations are conversation pieces. At the event, we were able to try three appetizers, three entrees, two sides, and a dessert, as well as their upcoming potential new cocktails. First, the cocktails– my husband and I each got a different drink so we could try each other’s and see which we liked. I ordered the Emperors Elixir, and he ordered the See No Evil (take a look at my pictures). We were warned the Elixir would be spicy, but I didn’t realize until after trying all of the food items, this drink was the spiciest thing I had all night!!! It was definitely yummy, but all the red pepper flakes would punch me in the throat, so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I would have liked to. The See No Evil was delicious, but my husband quickly learned to remove the straw since the chunks of fresh berries would get caught in it. He said it was much more enjoyable without the straw, and I couldn’t agree more. This drink was very refreshing! All of the appetizers we tried were delicious! My favorite was the baby corn. It wasn’t too sweet, but had a nice kick to it with the sauce and spices. If I returned, I would definitely want to have that! When we received the entrees, they all looked amazing, but overall they were underwhelming– ESPECIALLY the seafood dish. It was just bland, which was heartbreaking because it looked unbelievable. I have to admit though, that I did thoroughly enjoy the curry with the coconut hint, pea pods, and broccoli. The rest of the entrees were really just eh, and not worth going out of my way or paying more than $ 10 for. The dessert was vanilla ice cream with honey glazed wonton strips and it was mouth watering, just completely delightful. The mix in textures paired with the different levels of sweetness was perfect. On another note though, we almost didn’t receive our dessert though because the waiters forgot about our table! Which was in the middle of the room! At least once I mentioned it to a waitress, she brought out another plate for our table right away, but the service throughout the night was definitely not the best. It took a long time in between courses for our next section and each time we needed more water, we would have to flag someone down. I can’t imagine how awful it would have been if they were busier! Overall, my husband and I agreed that if we were to return– skip the entrees! Go straight from appetizers to desserts and you won’t regret it!

Good food– Always has been good food. Chili chicken, garlic rice and any hakka noodle is great here. The problem is the slow service and super inflated prices. It is downright expensive for veg noodles, veg rice, veggie dishes. I can see the seafood dishes being charged welll but really — gobi manchurian? We love Indo-​Chinese and go out for it often but if Inchin’s wants to be the leader — a drop in prices will help. They had a cute Valentine special which was actually reasonable and we got to thoroughly enjoy a variety. So the stars are for the food and ample parking but the service being very slow, impersonal staff and high prices makes this a three star place. At least the expensive competition (Bombay Chopsticks) down the road have very nice ambiance and nice staff. Oh and I love the sauce selection at the table!

Went for lunch on Sunday and food was good. Been there twice, and each time they met our expectation. We ordered a basil fried rice with shrimp, chicken and lamb. The fried rice was tasty but it had very less lamb. We also ordered the chili chicken curry which was as good as it can be. We ordered a chicken noodle for my daughter and that was very tasty. All in all a very good place and will go there again. Price is a little bit steep but oh week

Given that I have been here several times and it’s been one of my 1^st preference for indo-​Chinese, overall it was an extremely sub-​standard performance today. To being with a snob at the reception — an irritatingly rude lady greets us with strong resentment for absolutely no reason (May be she got peanuts instead of her expectations of cashews for Valentine’s day).
But it doesn’t just end there, food is to blame equally for this atrocious rating… sweet corn soup was too sugary and manchow soup was too salty. appetizers were sweet (baby corn & Chinese bhel)…It was sweet to the extent I thought they have hired a Gujarati chef. After a good 30+ minute break we get a very mediocre main course — Noodles were something I could have made slightly better myself. only good part was the coin Manchurian but they screwed up the order there as well, lucky for us the manager was overlooking and he took care of it eventually and fixed it (u won that 1 star man, it’s all for that guy).
It used to be my first preference for indian chinese, a place I would go/​recommend and most certainly take anyone who visits us, but after today I will def think 2−3x and absolutely consider other options…

You have restaurants where there is awesome food, great service & you wonder why Unilocal didn’t have an option to give more than 5 stars.
AND THEN…
There is Inchin Bamboo Garden @ Schaumburg, IL & you can’t help but feel hopeless at the lack of an option to give zero stars — maybe even negative!
We are big time lovers of the Indo Chinese variety of cuisine and have had meals on multiple occasions @ Bombay Chopsticks. This time we wanted to try a different place and chose Inchin. The fact that I had a lovely dining experience at their Raleigh, NC location also pushed me on.
It all started off well but the disaster unfolded as the food began to arrive, here’s what we had:
Soup (Sweet Corn & Manchow) — We asked for it to be spicy. The soup arrived, both were loaded with cilantro and FINELY CHOPPED RAW GREEN CHILLIES! Seriously? We spoke to our server about this only to be told «This is how we do it». Dejected, we continued fishing out the chillies to be able to consume atleast some of the soup.
Usually soup would be spiced with pepper or dry chilly flakes, no? So if ‘This is the way you do it’ why not tell the customer at the time of order
Crispy Chilly Baby Corn — Average, not crispy as the name suggests but atleast we could eat it. Infact this was the best of this worst meal.
Drums of Heaven — Nothing but chicken wings, deep fried. I suppose it was to be well tossed in the garlic, bell pepper and onions but those seemed just plunked onto the centre of the plate. Very greasy and again very average.
Am sure the Gods had a tough time digesting this one.
Burnt Garlic Chilly Fried Rice — The biggest disaster of them all. OH SOOOO OILY! At this point we called our server again who started off by reasoning that it was ‘FRIED rice after all’ and eventually in turn called his manager. When we explained, he argued about how it was not oil but broth! (Do I look that dumb to you?)
He went onto use a spoon on hubbys plate, slide the rice aside and point things out. Totally rude! Finally after a lot of arguing he offered to make another plate. The manager came back in couple minutes with a Zero Oil Fried Rice, stood at our table and insisted we have it then & there! He refused to leave till we ate in front of him. Clearly he refused to understand the point we were trying to put across.
Is it that difficult to accept that things have gone wrong and to just remake the dish properly? We left after paying the bill.
Never have I seen such attitude from restaurant staff and I hope I never do.

On a monday night, this place was desserted, there was hardly any crowd. The service was pretty prompt. We had got the veggie potstickers, which were ok, the golden fried babycorn was pretty good.
The noodles and rice were a decent size, good for two or three people after having a couple of appetizers. We were a group of five and we had ordered 3 entrees which was more than sufficient. I thought overall it really tasted «authentic» in terms of, how Indo — Chineese would taste in any restaurant which was pretty good in India.
