ANOTHER ONE for the 101 Most Unique Places to Dine in WV list. Bamboo Garden is located in Sissonville and has a sort of cult following. People love this place. So, I dragged Maggie out to Sissonville to check it out.


From the outside, it looks questionable. A little rundown and nondescript. Inside, it could use a nice deep cleaning. A bit dusty, and I'm pretty sure the mustard at our table had been there for at least 15 years.

I went with my typical benchmark dish - General Tso's Chicken - so as to measure up against all other American Chinese restaurants. And, also, I like it. Sorry not sorry.

First were these little crispy noodles. These are ehhh, but OK.

Next up was the eggroll, which was pretty standard. Good crisp, decent filling.

And the main performance! The chicken was good quality - white pieces of chicken. Yes. I just wish the sauce had a bit more punch. It fell just a little flat. I say this because I've had a lot of general tsos, so I know the sauce can get pretty tangy. Here? Not as much.
