My new favorite Chinese restaurant! The food was flavorful and the portions were huge. I would highly recommend dry pot (we got beef), stir fried eggplants, and sour cabbage fish soup. The service was 10/10. Nice ambiance and well-decorated restaurant.

I went two days in a row for takeout. The first time great the waiter who helped me place my order told me which dim sun didn’t have pork in it which I appreciated so much. Received my food not that long after got home it was so fantastic I ordered the Shrimp Drypot since I’m used to making hot pot at home I thought this would be a change and I loved it the shrimp were big. I would have loved it a bit more spicier, but I understand it really had a nice spice. It was very flavorful. Then I got the chicken bao which was good and shrimp har gow. Went back today to try their combo special I just got vegetable lomein with honey chicken. Honey chicken was good I don’t know why on the menu it has a pepper next to it. It’s not spicy. Lo mein good flavor I love that everything doesn’t taste bland and lotus root was present in the lo mein . My only gripe about service today was someone was helped before me and I was at counter long before them and I was ignored being the only person standing there, but then someone else walks up and helps them for their pick up order. This is purely individual based. It is my new favorite Chinese spot just because of the food alone and the place is beautiful in the inside. 美麗的氛圍,美味的食物.

It was our first time at Bamboo House and we were very excited to go. We informed our server it was our first time and she explained the menu which was so helpful. Very inviting atmosphere and the food was excellent. We had the dumplings and pork egg rolls as appetizers. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef (which was my and my husband's favorite) and the honey chicken which my kids requested non-spicy and they accommodated. Everything was fresh and excellent. Lots of good seating options without feeling cramped. Several round tables had 8 seats and it looked like this is a popular spot for groups and families. We look forward to making this a regular spot!

It's all good. Great new era look. Totally renovated from Shirley's Royal China. Great atmosphere. Stylish booth, retangular tables and big 8 seater round tables. Food selection is great, priced right and generous portions. Friendly waiter, food brought out by a different staff, dedicated bus boy cleaning tables. Then, everyone helped to reset table for next guests. We will be back.

Went in for dinner with my boyfriend after a long shift. Super attentive staff, clean dining area, fresh food, and quality ingredients. I got the honey chicken and it was amazing! Sweet with a kick, and super crunchy but not dried out! I had a decent amount of leftovers after finishing and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely going back

Such a cute place with incredible food! Super fresh and flavorful! Portion sizes were great. The sauces are made in house, and it shows. The server was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and made great suggestions. There were lots of vegan options as well! Definitely a hidden gem. Must try! A new favorite for sure!
