I had the chicken fried rice. It wasn't too bad, typical American style fried rice. I was surprised that the chicken was pretty tender. Not too far off from Panda Express with some sushi options.

Beef pho

I just had maybe one of the worst pho soup bowls ever. Maybe I am spoiled by all of the pho places I have been to, but this was bad, the broth was a weird taste and pretty certain was not beef broth, the single piece of beef was mostly fat and chewy, the bowl was maybe half the size of pho bowls at normal restaurants. I don't have high expectations of airport food, but this was way below expectations. Also the service was bad, the waiter came to get my order and collect the bill with him adding 18% before anything was served. I should have gone to my trusted potbelly's not to far from here.

Chicken Stir Fry

Stumbled upon this restaurant while going to Gate C6. Friendly server took our orders. Two nice IPAs available. Had the chicken stir-fry bowl and the shrimp fried rice. Good portions, lots of chicken and shrimp. Typical airport prices.

Stopped here for Breakfast. Mostly High top tables with outlets-a handful of regular tables and an abundant amount of bar seating. Located across from gate C11. Upbeat tunes piping from the speakers. Ordered just before 10 am when they stop their breakfast service. Cheddar/Bacon Omelette and added spinach, mushrooms and avocado. Asked for a soft Omelette and it came out as ordered. Stuffed with the veggies and Bacon, this was a tasty omelette. Thought the spinach would be chopped vs leaf-enjoyed the potatoes. Ordered via tablet with my server and pre-paid for breakfast. Service was friendly and helpful. Pricey for an omelette but had to remind myself I was at the airport. Solid for breakfast.

Miso soup was small for $7.99 but tasty. Itʻs airport pricing. Bartender was prompt to bring us menues, take our order and bring is back our soups, with napkins. Modern style restaurant. Restaurant appears to be available for "delivery" to patrons outside of its immediate borders, based on some reviews and QR menues by the gates. This may be a poor design. If you - in theory - double the size of your seats in an eatery but don't increase your staff, you are headed for problems. I bet their customer service would improve if this restaurant scaled back, if my thoughts are an accurate assessment.

Pretty disappointing when you're at the airport and found an online description and menu offering Vietnamese Cajun cuisine. When you arrive it's just "fusion" Asian food at a marked up price. There was no seafood options nor Cajun offerings. Opted for the wings and the fries. I should have known it wasn't going to good when you arrive around dinner time and it's completely empty. I should have stuck with my initial choice and gotten Panda Express. At least you know what you're getting there.

General Tsao's Chicken Bowl. And yes, only two pieces of broccoli!
Rebecca S.

We just wanted lunch before boarding our flight and I chose wrong! $50 for an iced coffee and a bowl. And the bowl came with--count them--two pieces of broccoli. Add to that our table was dirty. No one offered to wipe it down. My water glass had lipstick on it (frankly I looked around and none of the glasses look very clean). This place is NOT worth it! We wish we had tried another option.

Chocolate layer cake.
Miss D.

While I waited for my flight I wanted a sweet treat and fount out this Bar/ restaurant called Bam Bam and decided to order the chocolate layer cake. I had no expectation since Airport food tend to to be not so good but wow! What a delicious cake. 10/10! The waitress was also very nice.

I was attracted to Bam Bam because it's more secluded, it has nice seating options and lovely, peaceful looking decor. Bam Bam is an Asian fusion restaurant located in Terminal C in Houston's airport. It is a nice choice for lunch or dinner if you have a bit of time. We had a longer layover and this would be our only decent meal lunch & dinner. We picked a nice table, away from the airport's craziness. The menu has many cool options, unfortunately they have no print menu-s, just QR code or screens which they change when you try to make your decision. We were tired and didn't want to order via phone since we were tired and didn't want to deal with another hassle while travelling. Talking to an actual person is better, in this case that would be a great example. My husband wanted the Pulled Pork Sandwich, they have it on their menu, but not on QR code one when you order. Since I went to the counter, a nice waitress came to our able and got the Pulled Pork Sandwich ordered for my husband. Dealing with a human is so much better, right? I opted for the Spicy Japanese Chicken Sandwich which wasn't too spicy, nice and full of flavor. Both sandwiches came with fries, my husband enjoyed his pulled pork (although his order came later than mine, not good), nicely cooked, tender and we each got a Fat Tire on draft. There is staff around if you need more condiments, forks, etc. Prices are a tad high as you'd expect in an airport, but the food is decent here. Bam Bam has pluses and minuses. For us, it was a nice getaway between flights. Calming decor, with nice touches, a decent restaurant to try of you have a layover!

Have someone more interested in helping people checkout than checking their text messages. People are in a hurry and you are on the job.

Love Pappadeaux! Was…read moreleaving Houston and I had a long layover. I usually love to visit the restaurant when I'm in town but unfortunately has no time so I was super excited to try this location in the airport. Took the train over and was promptly sat when I entered. The menu is pretty extensive but I ordered the chicken and shrimp with French fries when a side of the dirty rice. Portions were huge and delicious. I was able to take some home back with me when I was boarding my plan. Even though it's in the airport, the restaurant has a family feel to it. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to come back!

Definitely a cool, relaxed atmosphere, especially for an airport spot. I was seated right away and greeted quickly. I ordered the crawfish étouffée and added a side of catfish. The catfish was really good, seasoned well, crispy, and came with tartar sauce and ketchup. The étouffée was a solid portion with plenty of crawfish and rice. I do think it could've used a little more seasoning, but still a good dish overall. Only downside was the service after ordering, it was a bit hard to get my waitress's attention, and I had to wait to order a coke. Overall, a good experience and I would recommend if you're passing through the airport.

The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

The staff does not fully understand what the menu items come with and thinks that everything is the boil sauce. I order the garlic noodle box with extra garlic sauce. When my food came out it was covered in the ohh la la boil sauce. When I explained that the sauce that usually is with it is clear not red, she said this is what they use. I said it doesn't look like the photo on the board, her response was bc I asked for extra. I said extra does not mean change the type. She then just looked at me. I asked for a remake so it's like the photo. It seems that they rinsed off the noodles bc they were cold and thru the smoked sausage that I bit off and egg that I bit and placed it on top and smothered more red sauce on it! This is the last time, and I will not be bringing my family and friends or suggesting this place to anyone.
