Bamboo House restaurant

Disappointing. This restaurant has been a staple in my dining list for many years however the last few times it has left me wondering what's going on. Staff are still lovely and service is good but the food has definitely gone down hill. Might leave it a while till I got back.

Excellent food and service- would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Always have interesting specials as well as the standard menu. Great for a special meal.

Great service, friendly staff and good food. Love the duck dishes. The restaurant was so attentive, one of our guest was celebrating a special birthday so they brought a little cake and sang happy birthday to her. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, great service. A wonderful experience for the whole family. We ordered the Peking duck, sesame puffs, pot stickers and the pan fried noodles. All were very delicious, highly recommend the sesame puffs.

An enjoyable meal with good service. The oyster and scallop special as an entrée was extremely good and the tea-smoked duck was as tasty as usual.

Large selection of excellent food and a good wine list. Food service aided by helpful suggestion was prompt. The most impressive thing was the clean presentation of the table and the washrooms.

After many years, I still enjoy their excellent food, and friendly atmosphere. Considering, the quality, I think competitive prices too. The wine list is well thought out, and comprehensive.

Fantastic food with service to match, recommend the duck. we also had the eye fillet with the housemade BBQ sauce which you can cut with a spoon = melt in your mouth :)

We had a great experience as always - friendly staff - delicious food especially the Duck pancakes which are a must have when eating st the Bamboo House!

We have now found our replacement for the old Empress of China. Presentation excellent, food excellent, staff excellent. We will be backmany,many times in future.

Brilliant food. Packed out on a noisy Friday evening. Attentive and pleasant staff. I first started going to Bamboo House in the 1970s. Never disappointed.

This long-standing and well -regarded restaurant was my pick for taking an elderly lady to lunch. I booked on line and asked for quiet corner. On arrival, I again asked if our allotted table was a quiet one - the staff seemed non-committal. So at first it was ok and then the restaurant filled up - mainly with men, and it became very difficult to hear our friend with her soft voice. She was wearing hearing aids ...although she said it was all ok, I know they must have just amplified everything. In defence of the restaurant - it does have cloth on tables, and it does have carpet - which makes it better than most. But today the noise transcended all that, not helped by the low ceiling and large areas of glass. There were other areas where we could have been placed - and I should have insisted on that. The very junior staff were efficient, but not attentive to our comfort, and we had to chase them for our needs. They certainly did not have the training or experience to perceive our problem. The food was of good quality and we enjoyed that. Overall - I will not be going there again if it is my decision.

Fantastic food, service started a little blah but warmed up as the evening progressed, overall a great experience and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone

the Food was very good. We had the Peking Duck. The restaurant is very noisy. we just wanted to leave to have a more quiet Environment.

Great location in China Town. Seems to be very popular. Nearly all booked on the normal weekdays. Yummy food, nice service, a little bit pricey. Overall quite good experience.

This was my second visit to the Bamboo House Restaurant, I found it to be most welcoming, the service was excellent, even though they were extremely busy. The food was amazing with many many choices, and served with adequate time to enjoy each course. I absolutely love the way the waiters memorise your order and bring it to you exactly how you asked. Wine was beautiful and they made sure glass was never empty. The staff were very friendly and explained the various dishes well. Pricing was very good, Will definately be going back.

Great food as always and amazing service, waiter was really helpful in giving recommendations and also accommodating our changes as my wife was allergic to some foods

Always the best experience and Peking duck disappoints, a bit too noisy on busy night but that never stops us from going back as the food is amazing

Staff was polite n friendly but slow to response maybe due to full house. Environment was too noisy n loud. Food was just satisfactory as veg stem was hard n overall taste was on the salty side but the time the food served was good.

This is classic Chinese without an eye watering bill Nothing much has changed over the last 25 years including the quality of the food which represents great value for money

The service was pleasant as always, and the food was great I have been many times over the years and Bamboo House has stood the test of time. Thank you for a great dinning experience.

Service was very good as was the food. Very enjoyable evening out. Restaurant is good for families and larger groups. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Will be going back.

Good, High Quality food, but not at an eye watering price. Pricing is not is not bargain basement either - but worth ever penny- I'll be back!

Food is Excellent. worth every penny. Staff can be a little more helpful. If you don't have a drink in the menu, you can accept that you don't have a drink then saying 'sold out' at 12 noon lunch time. Didn't went really well with our group. We requested for the banquet menu, being 5 people with 2 being vegetarian. They didn't accommodate us because they need minimum 4 people for non veg banquet. Didn't understand the logic. Anyway food was good, so everything is ok now.

This is a really lovely restaurant where the staff are very attentive and helpful but not intrusive at all. I would recommend this restaurant to any one looking for good food and ambience

Great food and service. Excellent peking duck and beautiful dumplings with the most tender pastry. New favourite chinese restaurant in Melbourne !! Will defiantly be a regular customer.

Great food, attentive service. The manager was involved in all aspects of the meal, and the experience was Avery positive one. Recommended to all. Fun.

I have had both lunch and dinner at Bamboo House on several occasions over the past few years and have always found it to be excellent. The food and service are of the highest order. Also a special thanks to Ann who is front of house Ann always welcomes you with a smile and is most helpful.

Good service & nice atmosphere. Food is good especially the peking duck and prawns. It is highly recommended for specially occasions. Location is close to chinatown.

Very nice restaurant.. portions are big and service excellent. .. ....... ... ... .. ... ... .., ... ... ... .., ... .. .. ...

Best most consistent Chinese ( Asian Food). There is a group of us that dine there regularly. On Average once a week. Service is exceptional

As with other visits to Bamboo House, the Peking duck never disappoints. We always look forward to our next trip to Melbourne for this reason.

Outstanding venue with fantastic food. Thank you Ann and team for feeding us! It is a no fuss event that you manage for us while we focus on business dealings. Thanks - of course we will be back!!

Bamboo House always represents great value. Although not cheap it provides a standard of food and service equal to the best with a drinks list, including drinks bay the glass, to match. Overall a terrific dining experience.

I have always found the food excellent and consistent. The service is attentive and efficient. Ann Louey certainly knows how to make you feel welcome and always has great menu suggestions. We are regular customers and have never been disappointed.

Great dining experience at Bamboo House. Very busy and noisy but we were moved to a quieter table when we mentioned this. Service is excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Half serve of Peking duck is succulent and tasty and served all ready to eat. Sweet and sour pork was very tasty with fresh light batter. Wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced compared to other good restaurants. Our go to Chinese restaurant whenever we are in Melbourne. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent and the service was very good as well. Very helpful with gluten free meals. A bit noisy but overall a very good night.

A top night - just some rowdy customers made it difficult to converse. The food was of high quality, as was the service. The duck is always good.

My friend and I were very pleased with the quality of the food and the service of the staff. The Shanghai dumplings were so authentic that I believe I haven’t had anything similar in Melbourne before.

This restaurants always has great food and the service is excellent. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Melbourne. Do yourself a favour and pay them a visit.
