If you’re looking for Indo-Chinese cuisine that blends comforting flavors with bold spice, Inchin’s Bamboo Garden in Bellevue is a place you’ve likely considered.
Visit #1: Thursday Night (Around 9 PM) – Group of 2
This visit was relaxed and laid-back. The dinner crowd was winding down, so we were seated immediately without any wait. The ambiance had a cozy charm, and I must mention the handwritten-style drink menu—its aesthetic, artsy fonts genuinely caught my eye (font fanatics, you’ll know the vibe!).
What we ordered:
Veg Hot & Sour Soup – A decent starter. Well-balanced but not standout. I don’t recall if fried noodles were served with it, so next time I’d ask.
Steamed Vegetable Momos – Underwhelming. Only 3 pieces for $9, and the flavor was plain and bland. Lacked seasoning and texture. Skip this.
Spicy Thai Basil Fried Rice – 💯 Highly recommend. This was the star of the night. Bold flavor, spicy kick, aromatic herbs, and a perfect stir-fry texture. Great quantity too—easily serves 2.
Street-Style Chow Mein – Nicely done. Balanced flavor, not overly oily, with a fresh crunch of veggies.
📝 Portion sizes were excellent for both the rice and noodles—generous enough to share comfortably.
💡 Pro tip: Each table has a variety of sauces. Don’t miss out! Try pairing them with your momos or noodles to enhance the flavors.
Visit #2 – Friday ~7:30PM | Group of 6
This was a peak dinner time visit—expect a wait if you’re going without a reservation. We waited about an hour to be seated. Thankfully, once we were in, the food was served fast and hot, which we appreciated.
Most of our group ordered Jain preparations, and the kitchen followed all customization requests accurately.
Ordered:
Jain Paneer 65 – Fantastic. Crisp yet soft, well-seasoned, and made perfectly as requested. Definitely recommend this one.
Jain Hakka Noodles – Tasted okay. Nothing special, but did the job.
Jain Manchurian Gravy – Delivered as per our requirements. Mild spice, tangy sauce.
Regular Veg Manchurian with Gravy – The first serving lacked salt and had oddly sweet manchurian balls. We flagged it, and the team replaced it without hassle—props to the service team.
Chili Garlic Noodles – Well made, spicy and satisfying.
American Chopsuey – Regretted this one. Way too sweet and lacked the tangy-spicy flavor that you'd expect. Wouldn’t order again.
🎂 Special Mention – Birthday Surprise:
We mentioned a birthday in our group, and the restaurant offered a complimentary plate of Rasmalai. It was soft, creamy, and subtly sweet—easily a 5/5 dessert experience.
Drinks:
Virgin Pina Colada – Creamy and refreshing. Solid 4/5.
Mango Lemonade (I think) – Nicely balanced and fruity.
Overall:
Food quality is solid, customizations respected, and portions match pricing well. Some hits, a few misses, but definitely worth visiting—especially for spicy rice dishes and Jain-friendly options.
