Second visit in ten years, and the standard hasn't changed. Very good good, but the stir fried mixed veggies, in particular the baby bok choy had sand in it. Only drawback. The Peking duck was fantastic, probably the best in Melbourne. Alan our waiter was great and serviced our table greatly. Will definitely be back for more succulent Peking duck. Thank you Bamboo house.

I found this restaurant by a google search of 'best dumplings in Melbourne'. When I arrived with my family, the outside of the restaurant didnt blow me away. But when you get inside, its a really lovely restaurant. The BEST PART is the food and the service - I would say its one of the best chinese restaurants in Melbourne, just on food and service! It may not have the flashiness of Silks at Crown, but if you want an amazing chinese meal and world class service - I would highly recommend Bamboo House. We will be back!

Truly excellent food and good service but don't go for a quiet lunch on a Friday. It was very busy and extremely noisy. We had only been there before the dinner which was a more sedate affair.

Bamboo House has consistently great food and good service. We had the Peking Duck, spicy lamb cutlet and fried calamari last night and they were excellent. I would go back there again anytime.

This restaurant is first class. Pleasant surrounds in the heart of China Town. Staff was friendly, attentive and accommodating. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a booking st 7.15pm. Seven of us enjoyed a magnificent meal comprising a number of entrees and mains. The food was absolutely delicious and clearly of the highest quality. The wine list was extensive and reasonably priced. Our various courses were served at just the right intervals. We were not rushed as often happens with restaurants that operate on strict two time sittings. We left around 10.30pm. Great meal. Squizito

Nice ambience, tables nicely spaced from each other. Reception and staff service very friendly, attentive without being over bearing. Good first impressions. Menu was extensive enough, and what made me go to try this restaurant me was the Sichuan Tea Smoked duck which is one of my top favourite dish that I have enjoyed every time I had it while working & living in China for almost 30 years. This dish at Bamboo House was exactly spot on, in taste and texture, accompanied by generous number of freshly steamed buns to go with it. The other dish that was also a standout was the entree of Shanghai style smoked fish. Again spot on as one would find in Shanghai. Our (2 of us) third course was braised mushroom w crab meat. While this was also delicately done, I had expected a variety of mushrooms but instead only button mushrooms, and not enough of crab meat (I think it was canned crab meat). It was tasty enough but paled in comparison to the first two abovementioned dishes. Prices were a bit steep but for the overall experience and quality & taste of dishes that are not normally offered in most places, it’s worth to go for that special occasion. For the 3 course meal with tea and rice, the bill came to $99.

Fantastic food. Staff are also fantastic. Only reason for not giving a 6 is because I couldn’t get the dessert I would normally have. Highly recommended.

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Melbourne – I have been going here for over 30 years. Last night, in our party of three, the food itself was as good as ever – it never varies. However, on this busy Friday evening the service, although very efficient, was somewhat brusque. Instead of the expected careful plating and delivery of food to our table, I felt that everything was rushed. And the waiter mistook one of our orders (probably partly my fault) by delivering three enormous plates of a beef dish, when we expected one plate to share. This has never happened before. So the message is: be very specific with your ordering and all will be well.

Excellent food and nice atmosphere. I would have given this restaurant a 6 but I asked for my wine to be served with my main course and it was serve immediately and once my meal was served, no one ever came by to see how everything was. If they had, I would have told them I didn’t like the wine.

Fantastic service. Beautiful cooked and presented food. The Duck was crispy and delicious. The Cantonese eye fillet absolutely melted in your mouth, with generous sized proportions had trouble eating it all. Lovely food will definitely eat here again.

Peking duck was decent but not as good as I have had in other restaurants in other cities. They don’t provide enough green onions and cucumbers, the skin of the duck should be an ingredient and it is not. Can’t understand why this restaurant has the rep for having great duck.

Great food and fantastic service. Pity the charge for main meals when ordered for a group were based on a per person rate which made the price increase significantly. Other than this we were very happy

Ambiance of the premises was very good - not as noisy as most Chinese restaurants. Service was very efficient and friendly with good explanation of the specials of the day. Very extensive menu and the dishes served could not be faulted. Very good wine and beer selection at reasonable prices.
