We ordered the whole Peking duck. It was delicious but I saw the chef take half the carcass back into the kitchen. They claimed it was just bones. We also ordered a side of greens which we found out when we got the check that it was $24! Yikes.... $24 for sautéed bok choi, carrots and spinach is just outrageous.

We visited on a rainy Saturday night but that didn't deter people seeking a great meal. Have been before and as usual, the food and service was excellent. Peking Duck is always a highlight but we have never had a bad dish here. Yes it is a bit on the pricey side but if you are seeking a special night out, don't hesitate.

Terrible. We were told to order more food, we refused and it was made clear that if we didn’t order an entree and a main each we wouldn’t be served. We left in disgust

We chose Bamboo House based on the majority 5 star reviews to celebrate our Mother's birthday. What we thought would be a lovely evening was overshadowed by the deplorable service and attitude of Anne, the MANAGER of the restaurant towards our table. Strike 1 was subtle but noticeable when our order was initially taken by the Manager. Whilst appeared to be friendly and helpful on the surface, had an underlying impatient manner when we were discussing our choice selections. Looking back at her mannerisms and her attitude towards the other patrons on the evening, we felt she was pretentious towards our table. However, we gave her the benefit of the doubt then. Strike 2 - one of the seats was apparently in the path of foot traffic. The occupant of this seat (A) was instructed very rudely and was forcibly removed from her seat to move to the next seat, as if the person seated was a child behaving in an unruly manner. We initially politely refused to move, based on the delivery of the "request". Strike 3 was the ultimate 101 act of what nobody in the service industry should do - throw a tantrum, literally huff puff, walk away, swear at your customers (calling A a c**t in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect - note we happen to be the only table and persons in the restaurants of Chinese ethnicity that evening. There is a presumption that the other patrons would not comprehend her swearing), ignored our table the entire evening with no apology whatsoever. Note, she walked away without completing our order and sent a colleague of hers in her stead. We decided not to walk out on this restaurant as we did want to experience the food here. No issue on the menu and taste but no restaurant is worth their salt if the service is abysmal and unpardonable. We find that this restaurant tends to favour a particular set of customers and if you fall into that category, hurrah to you. There are other chinese restaurants in Melbourne with a better pricing point, taste, ambience and most importantly, service than Bamboo House.

Great service from Ann and the staff. Food was generally of a high quality however the xiaolong bao is not as good as cheaper places and the beggar's chicken was on the dry side.
