Bamboo House restaurant

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.

Hasn’t changed in 30 years but still has the best duck in town. Great value proposition compared to other authentic chnese establisments in Melbourne. Long may it stay the same.

Great food at this restaurant. The staff were friendly and efficient. Food was brought to the table quickly despite the restaurant being very busy. Highly recommended

Lovely atmosphere. Great food, fantastic service. Some of the best Chinese food I have eaten A new favourite I think for when we are in Melbourne.

We have been coming here for 20 years and it never disappoints. Great food and great service. Peking Duck is delish, Will be back again and again!

Wonderful food with the best service, it's been the best Chinese food in Melbourne for the last 40 years, the only place to go to.

Beautiful food and excellent service. We Would highly recommend Bamboo house to all. Not cheap, but definitely worth the money. Great wine/drink choices as well.

Highly recommended. Foods are superb and service was excellent. The best Peking duck I have had for a long time. Will definitely going back there.

very nice food and well paced meal good and efficient wait staff nice wine - very relaxed and not rushed look forward to returning soon

Customer service was excellent. The quality of the meals met expectations as well as the way they were individually served and presented. Will return again.

We always have the most wonderful time at Bamboo House. the food is divine, the service is second to none. Such a delightful restaurant. Anne and Jimmy always look after us like family

Great food, excellent service. Good value. Wide range of dishes, all of which are worth trying. Very reasonably priced wine list with plenty to choose from.

Awesome duck, the fish dishes was great, prawns were pretty good as well! Would definitely recommend for big parties of people. Authentic food, great flavours.

Great night had by our group, food and services was excellent. Good spot for work dinner meeting but can be a little noisy. Good wine list.

It was a fantastic experience and I would recommend this restaurant to my peers. The service and food could not be faulted. I only wished they allowed BYO!

Tea smoked duck is the highlight of the menu - together with excellent service. Would highly recommend Bamboo House for any occasion - especially pre-show.

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.

Fantastic place people and food. I would have to say I don’t think I have had better Asia food anywhere in the world. Great Place

Very good Chinese. Peking Duck excellent. Good service pleasant and efficient staff I will be returning

Excellent service! Great food and not crowded around lunchtime, great for business lunches or a long work lunch to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Love!

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.

The Peking Duck is the best in Melbourne. The staff are a well oiled machine, attentive, respectful and professional. The alcohol offered is always fantastic. One of my favourite restaurants.

Excellent food and great service, we appreciated the recommendations and care given by our waitress. We loved the Peking duck and zucchini flower specials as our favourites

A very good meal with the scallop and oyster special, pan-fried eye fillet pot-sticker dumplings and spring onion pancake as starters. We then had spicy pork in Sichuan sauce and the sauté garden fresh greens for mains. All the food was delicious.

Nice food especially Peking duck and ambient atmosphere. They Could have made the pancakes for Peking duck more even, the sauce was all at one end.

Business lunch - great food, efficient service. The Pinot I had by the glass was surprisingly good. Could have a stronger veggie selection for those inclined that way

Great food and service, always up to their very high standard! We always enjoy the spring onion cake and poached oysters, and of course the Peking duck.

One of my favourite places dine out in Melbourne! Great service and consistently yummy food!

Loved it, excellent chinese food in Melbourne, especially peking duck!

The best Chinese food we have ever eaten. We visit Melbourne twice a year and always visit Bamboo House. Food is incredible and the staff are all lovely.

Food was fantastic. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. From the minute we walked in we were treated as if we were vips. They would even give our 18 month old his own serve of everything - which he loved!

As always, Anne and the entire team was fantastic. Service levels are excellent and the food is sensational. Definitely recommend the dry fried beef and Peking duck.

Peking duck never disappoints. We always look forward to visiting when in Melbourne for the weekend. Service is always professional. Thanks for a delicious meal.

The food was pretty standard for the price - it tasted good, but I would expect it too for the cost. The staff were pretty inattentive - we were sitting for almost ten minutes without menus before needing to ask for them, no one was around to refill water, etc.

Great service and tremendous food as always. Thanks Ann and team - we will be back of course. Can not recommend too highly! This time we had a short time frame and they worked to that-thanks

Peking duck is always fantastic - as good as you get in Melbourne. I would not bother with the seafood birds nest again. Good wine list and service is generally good.

Great food, great service and reasonably priced. Peking Duck was the best thing on the menu, you can’t go there and not order it, you won’t be disappointed.
