Great food and big portions service was fast and the price is good. It was a nice ambiance inside the building also

Everything was delicious here. Everything. Single. Dish. Peking duck, boiled fish fillets in chili sauce, basil eggplant, spicy and crispy chicken. Packed place, but the food comes out really fast. Service is nice too! Expect a bit of a waiting time to be seated because of how busy dinner gets. I would love to come back! read more

Bamboo House was such a great find. The star of the meal was definitely the Peking duck, crispy, perfectly roasted skin with juicy, flavorful meat. The duck was cooked really well, and paired with the pancakes, sauce, and fresh toppings, every bite was . Everything we had was solid, but the Peking duck is what really stood out and made the meal memorable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially when I'm craving a good Peking duck. Highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I've been waiting for this moment to eat duck. This place has set the standard, just sayin'. First off, not sure what other places serve to wrap peking duck but those spring pancakes were so thin and perfect. And the accoutrements. Not too many add ons, sliced nicely engineer like thin.... allows you to be able to savor the perfection of the duck and crisp of the skin vs being overwhelmed by toppings. Guys, I mean, first off I was so full and forcing myself to finish my 1/4 of a duck portion. Second off, even though I was full, I still felt healthy and vibrant leaving. It's a big deal to leave a place and not feel like you have to go veg out on the couch to process things because you're too stuffed. Shared 1/2 a duck with the hubs and we were both satisfied. He had also ordered pork belly but no way I had room for that. Even that portion size lasted both of us a couple meals the next day or two. read more

I love this place it always give good quick service whenever I go!!! The duck is the best value and best tasting here. There's always a wait if you come during peak times but they make up for it with arcade machines and call out your number with a megaphone whenever a table is ready. I love the seats and the bathrooms are well maintained! read more

Amazing meal here! The Peking duck was perfectly crispy skin with the fat rendered down really well, and it came with all the classic things like pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and hoisin sauce to wrap it up yourself. Also got the crispy chicken and it was prefect balance of crispy, spicy, and numbing. The boiled fish in chili oil was excellent too, packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Food came out pretty quickly despite how busy it looked. Heads up though, this place is popular . I've heard it can get crowded with a line during weekends. Definitely worth it though, highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for an early lunch, got their very good value lunch special. The specials come with soup, spring roll, rice, and then the main dish. Portions are generous, and the food comes out quickly, freshly prepared. Egg drop soup, spring roll are good enough you could make a meal just off that! Service is friendly and on the spot, and all the servers were very attentive to all the tables I could see. There were about three parties waiting for them to open up, bonus points to the business, they had kept track of who showed up when, and seated the parties in order. (never mind how the people had queued up waiting) read more

Very busy restaurant in a strip of shops next to a condo rental area. Had to wait about 35 minutes, but the restaurant had a digital queue system, so we sat outside in an area adjacent to restaurant that may have been outdoor dining for the place at one time. Table too small for our orders for three. Half a roast duck on a board with hoisin, onion, and celery slivers and wrappers. Beef lomein excellent wok flavor. Peapod tips in garlic, needed more garlic in cooking, but fortunately not too greasy. Mapo Tofu on the moderate spicy side and a large portion. Braised chicken and chicken broth soup and a container of white rice. Nice place, not great, but good. Prefer take out given the crowd and small tables. Park across the street in the garage as drivers fighting for street parking. read more

I really wanted to love the food here, but I think it's because I'm from Houston! Houston has some of the best Asian food and it's hard to compare when going to other cities. The fried rice was okay, didn't have much flavor, but I appreciate the portion! I did really like that the duck came with the broth (this was the selling point-definitely get this). The duck of was good, I believe this is what people usually come for. I would come again, but I do think there are better places for flavor. read more

3.5 stars if I could give it bc the Peking duck is good Everything else I've had has been meh both times I went. Eggplant was super mushy, fried rice was flavorless, I don't even remember what else we got, but the sauce was pretty much the same as that in the eggplant. The service isn't great, but it's not that kind of place, you know what I mean? You don't go for the service. You go for the Peking duck. It can get kinda loud and echoey in there because the space is so wide open. read more

As someone Chinese who grew up in California, I'm picky about authentic Chinese food, so when we went to Bamboo House Austin for Lunar New Year, I was genuinely impressed. Every single dish was authentic and perfectly balanced in flavors. The roast duck was perfectly crisp and rich, and every dish tasted like home: balanced, bold, and deeply authentic. It's rare to find true Chinese flavors in Texas, but Bamboo House nails it. The atmosphere was lively, the service warm, and even during the holiday rush, everything felt beautifully done. Easily one of the best Chinese meals I've had in Austin - and the perfect way to celebrate the new year. read more

By far the absolute best Peking Duck you will find in Austin, and likely all of Texas. While a chain, the quality is superb. As an Asian, we don't expect the best service, but we do expect the food to be on point. Fortunately the service is still decent, and the food excellent. After ordering, our first dish arrived in less than 2 minutes (the duck soup, what you get when you order duck), then in less than 10 minutes the second dish, and the third a few minutes later. The duck takes a while to prepare, so it's always the last dish to come out, but rest assured it's hot, as well as the pancakes. Pro tip: Go early, as the duck tends to sell out. Everything is family style with large portions, so go with a group! If you run out of rice, ask for more! (it's bottomless) The Duck - absolutely amazing. My wife always comments how fantastically crisp the skin is. Make sure to put a little of all the condiments on your pancake. Bok choi - just cooked with garlic, it's a fabulous dish, and one of the few vegetables that my friends who hate veggies love. Braised Pork Belly - absolutely phenomenally tender. It will melt in your mouth. A super savory dish with a dark rich sauce, perfect if you're a gravy lover like me who will pour it over the rice! Mmmm read more

Great place to take a group of people (4+) I've been to Bamboo House before. Their most popular item is the Peking Duck but we got two entrees this time-egg plant and red braised pork belly. Pork belly is yummy and sweet. The fatty parts are the best. However some of the pork is dry so it's not too consistent. Eggplant didn't soak up a lot of flavor (but the next day when we ate the leftovers, it was delicious!) I only went with my husband and didn't realize the dishes are so big. We had a lot of leftovers especially the eggplant, which we took to go. The eggplant was talking a while to arrive and now we know why. It's great how the entrees automatically come with white rice. Some other restaurants would charge extra and only give a small bowl. There's usually a long wait (hence, why there is a waiting area with games), but we were lucky and got seated almost immediately after a group left. There is outdoor seating as well. You can park in the garage and the first two hours are free. Next to Hui Lau Shan, the Hong Kong mango dessert shop. read more

10.30.2025 - BAMBOO HOUSE - AUSTIN, TEXAS - we don't have roasted Peking duck in Killeen - so here we are treating ourselves - I miss ONG CHOY and real Chinese food. There's Chinese food in Killeen but for some reason it's not the same. I'd give this place an 4.5 out of a Full 5. It was delicious but I haven't compared it with other Chinese food in the area just yet. Maybe that star will change to a 5. I just need to try more Chinese restaurants in the area first because I got nothing to compare it to. The food was delicious - we ordered the Peking Roast Duck, Duck Broth Soup, Ong Choy (Pea Sprouts), Mapo Tofu, Boiled Filet Fish with Chili sauce, Honey Walnut ShrimpI really enjoyed our meal today. Wow I really enjoyed our meal today. It was definitely a great experience. The waitress also was very nice and checked up on us every 15 mins. The entire restaurant was clean too. Service was great! read more

It is about time I reviewed this place. I've been here so many times yet I haven't had time to review it. I have a love-hate relationship with this restaurant for many personal reasons. The first couple times I came. It was so packed. There's limited parking around the apartments too unless you want a parking in the parking garage now which we can validate so that's good. Plus we had to wait for a long time that time but there's fun video games you can play while you wait in a very small waiting area or you can be outside. Winter is fine but when it's hot, it's not that pleasant. There's a yummy mango expensive Hong Kong dessert place next-door. But this place is beloved by my son and a lot of his friends who love Sichuan food and Austin is just in love with Sichuan food. And I being Cantonese have a hard time liking mala and all things spicy and all my Canto friends find it hard to love all these new sichuan places popping up. With that said, I have to give an unbiased review of bamboo house and I've tried to like it more over the years but I went recently because of a bday request and just have to say that it is constantly not bad delivering high food quality. We ordered half Canto half Sichuan food that's not that spicy so pea leaves were done excellently. I love the size of the plates. The beef lo mein was good. Salt and pepper or anything here fried is good. The two main staple Sichuan dishes we had to order that I can't seem to enjoy, but they are done spectacularly is the sour cabbage pork soup, which is pretty famous and the mala chicken so spicy. Just be careful of those little numbing spice balls. They pop so many into the soup. They are lethal, but that is why people keep coming and that's why this place keeps thriving besides the duck and all the other things. Suffice to say, it's not bad if you want good food for good quality and large plates come here and maybe an off night like a weekday night might be better but weekends it will be very crowded but enjoy. They're doing well. Very hot woks which are great for Chinese food, big tables so that there will be room for big families and smaller tables for more intimate settings. It's happening. It comes out fast. It's pretty clean in there. I'll give it a thumbs up for another Chinese place, probably the better one out in Austin right now and not too greasy or dirty versus others like Asia Café could be :) read more

Went here with a group of 11 on a Saturday night around 6:30 pm and was pleasantly surprised that we were seated immediately! We ordered a lot: Green Tea, Full Peking Duck, Breaded Lobster, Green Beans, Snow Peas, Twice-Cooked Pork, Pork Belly, Chicken with Chili, and Mongolian Beef, plus the white rice that came with the meal. Favorites: * Peking Duck - perfectly cooked, tender, and the skin was nice and crispy. I usually don't even like duck, but this was so good, especially with the hoisin sauce. * Chicken with Chili - full of flavor and cooked just right. * Snow Peas with Garlic - tender with great flavor. * Pork Belly - slow-cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor! Least favorite: * Mongolian Beef - just okay; the meat was a bit overcooked and chewy. * Breaded lobster - it was good and cooked well but I felt like the breaded on the larger pieces wasn't it - I wanted a little more flavor on the meat than the shell Service was attentive, fast, and super receptive throughout our meal. The ambiance is chill and clean, nothing fancy, but you're here to eat well, and it delivers. Overall: solid spot for flavorful dishes and great service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Visiting Austin with family and my brother and his wife took us here for dinner on a Sunday night. Heard this place was bussin but we managed to grab a table relatively quickly. According to my brother, there is usually a wait to dine in so we got lucky. Food was indeed gas. We ordered a bunch of food like peking duck, lobster, snow peas with garlic, slow cooked pork (hong shao rou), twice cook pork, chicken and chili, etc. and everything was good. The portions were huge as well. Everyone came hungry and left full. I will say, my favorite was the slow cooked pork. The lobster and peking duck were both really good as well. If you are deciding between the two, i would say get the peking duck. Service was great. Even though it was super busy, the waiter always stopped by our table to check if we were good. Inside, vibe is like your typical chinese restaurant. They also have a seating area outside if you want to eat in the texas humidity. Parking situation wasn't too bad. There is a garage with free 2-hour parking if the lot outside is full. Would definitely come back again next time i'm in austin. read more

Been here several times. Large portions. Parking: Parking lot, or parking garage. If you need to wait, there's a small arcade area at the front of the restaurant. Play Pac-Man or something while you wait. Or just chill inside or outside. Maybe grab some mango themed dessert next door. But more importantly, if you do need to wait, make sure to put your name down at the front desk area; they have a numbering system, like at supermarket delis. Floor Stickiness: if you walk towards the bathroom, near the kitchen the floor might be sticky / greasy. Food: If it's your first time, and you can eat duck, and you don't have a gluten aversion, then get the Peking Duck before they run out for the day. It comes with some broth, wraps, scallions, cucumber, sauces, and sugar. The duck is rationed based on party size, and it is available only for dine-in. Otherwise peruse the menu to construct your desired meal. They have a pleasantly nice Laziji 辣子鸡. I've had their Flounder Fillets in Sour and Spicy Soup. It's huge. You can get 3-4 meals out of that tub. If you have to take it back, they seal the top of the tub for you, but the tub itself will still be hot if you want to transport it home. Their cold dishes (chicken, beef) are also quite savory and satisfying to eat. One item I've been itching to try is their Strawberry Chicken. I had seen it pop up on their menu a couple years ago. Anyways, Bamboo House is definitely a go-to staple for your Peking Duck cravings in Austin, which is the primary reason I go. read more

I cannot believe how many times I've been to Bamboo House and have never written a review! What? Why? It is definitely my favorite Chinese food here in Austin. The top item as many reviews have mentioned is the Peking Duck. You can get a half duck (recommended for up to 3 people) or whole duck (recommended for up to 6 people) and it comes with a duck soup. My other favorite is actually their vegetable dish. They have a potato, green bean and eggplant that you should not sleep on! My 3 year old daughter loves the Strawberry chicken and my husband loves the Orange chicken. Foodwise, you can't really go wrong but be mindful because they serve large portions. The service has always been fairly fast. The wait staff puts the order into an ipad and usually the food will start coming out pretty fast. It's meant to be eaten family style so you eat the food as it comes out, otherwise if you wait for everyone to get their entrees, then perhaps the service would not be considered as quick. The ambiance is your standard Chinese restaurant but I like that they have video games you can play if you're waiting. (Well, my kids love that they have video games to entertain them if there's a wait. They also like to play after they are done eating). Bamboo House is a must whenever family comes to town for a visit and honestly for a family meal whenever cooking is not in the cards for me. read more

My boyfriend has been wanting me to try this place for awhile. i finally agreed and omg. We really should listen to them more often This place is amazing. we first came yesterday during the rain, we ordered sweet and sour chicken and the duck. which were both amazing. We also got the Hot green tea which to my surprise was regular green tea instead of matcha which i LOVE. and it was a perfect meal for the weather at the time. our server was great and paying attention to us. We also decided to stop by today since i loved it so much and we got the Eggdrop soup, Lo mein with Beef and the duck again. This time the duck was 100 times better than yesterday and omg so good. The eggdrop soup was one of the best i've had before and was amazing. And the lo mein was so tasty. This time the service was lacking just a little bit. But that's okay. They don't have any music unfortunately both times we came. Overall 10/10 would come back a million times again. read more

Bamboo House Austin - Duck - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really good Chinese food. We ate their Peking duck with pancakes and it's the best we've ever had across Dallas, Austin, and Houston. The duck was deboned and not greasy or fatty and the pancakes were super thin and plentiful with extra chives and cucumber toppings. Their pork and eggplant is amazing as well the perfect mix of savory. Only downside: waiting to get in. Took an hour they don't do reservations. All the tables are huge so I'd love for smaller tables and faster in dining service. It is nice parking is validated but in Texas heat waiting outside is brutal. Thought we could get away with takeout but they don't do the duck with takeout! Such a shame. Still 5 stars with the food would love faster wait times and duck on Togo to be perfect. read more

Bamboo House is one of my favorite Chinese spots in Austin. They are known for their Peking Duck which is absolutely one of the best duck I ever had but this visit they were out which was a blessing in disguise as I got to try new foods I otherwise wouldn't have. For one, the service is amazing here. They're very attentive and quick and the wait to get a table goes by so quick. Great to come here with a big group. On to the food, we got the cream cheese rangoons, spicy fish, and honey walnut shrimp. All perfect. All tasted amazing. The rangoons are a classic and you can never go wrong. The spicy fish came with a very generous portion and a lot of fish which is usually not the case. Although the honey walnut shrimp had a smaller portion, it was definitely my favorite of the night. I highly recommend coming here and make sure you bring a hungry group. read more

Bamboo House Austin - Beijing (Pecking) Duck - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Deservedly, Bamboo House has received the moniker as best Peking duck in town. We always get the duck and are learning other dishes we like and don't like. Certainly, the combo eggplant, string beans, and sliced potatoes is a winner as is a beef tongue dish that I don't recall its name. The flounder in hot chili soup is wonderful yet intense and not for the meek. Did not like the pork belly dish and thought that the sesame chicken would've been great if it was served a little hotter temperature wise. Table service is always very attentive and pleasant. Portions are good sized. Went once with a table of 10 people and got as many if not more dishes and the overall impression was thumbs up. read more

Bamboo House has decent Chinese food but at a pretty high price. We got their popular Peking half duck to share amongst the two of us, which was such a small portion. Parties of three or under can only order the half duck. I get that they have a stock issue, but it wasn't even enough for two girls, let alone three people, so I was kind of baffled by that. At least they didn't skimp on the rice. The duck was pretty similar to other Peking duck I have had. It was good. We also got a vegetable to share, and this dish was very large. We got the sautéed pea sprout with minced garlic. I liked it, although my friend asked the waiter in Chinese if it was going to be "lao," which means like overcooked/hard to chew. He said he had never gotten a complaint like that before, but it was lowkey "lao." Nothing significant though. It was still really good. We ended up paying $30 each, which was a lot more than we expected for a restaurant like this. There were a lot of customers though, so they can totally charge high prices given the relative paucity of good Chinese food in Austin. read more

Bamboo House in Austin is simply amazing. The food is amazing. They specialize in Peking Duck but because some of us are allergic we avoided that, but if you like a good duck please give it a try. We decided to give them a try on Thanksgiving dinner. The place was packed with wait time. The line moved quickly and we were seated in 10 15mins We went for the lobster special where you get 2 lobster in 4 different cooking styles, we got the salt and pepper version. We also got mapo tofu and fried rice along with it. The food was delicious, freshly made well seasoned. The lobster was fresh and perfectly prepared. The Mapu tofu was milder than what I am used to where it's heavy on Mala spice. Their portions are larger than normal so please keep that in mind when ordering Ambiance is similar to any dimsum restaurant with Chinese decorations and fast service. The prices are reasonable for the portion you get. read more

This spot has some delicious and crispy duck! Super flavorful- can seem expensive but does feed at least two people. Comes with soup and rice. The mapo tofu was also a hit! Portion sizes are BIG!

We were seated pretty fast but we got there early however it seemed like a bit of a wait if I you come later. read more

I DID IT. I FINALLY CAME AT A TIME WHEN THE INFAMOUS PEKING DUCK WAS AVAILABLE--and I couldn't be happier. If you know, the Peking duck at Bamboo House is a MUST. The duck is served in a beautiful duck platter, with a variety of sauces, toppings, Chinese pancakes and bonus: a delicious duck cabbage soup. We've tried one other time for dinner, only to find out they were sold out! Bamboo House only sells peking ducks in limited batches, and are pretty strict with their policy of allowing half ducks for a party of 3 and under or a whole duck for a party of 4-6. Unfortunately, they do not offer peking ducks for take out. If you don't make it in time for the peking duck, Bamboo House offers plenty of other options (my other favorite: Fish Filets in Chili Oil), that's decent, but not incredibly noteworthy. Outside of the duck, portions are your classic Chinese family styled servings for unbeatable prices. But be warned: there are some dishes that can be pricey, including the duck and fish fillets in chili oil. read more

Our party of 4 was sat immediately in the near empty restaurant on a Monday night at 6pm. The dining room soon filled up 30 minutes later. We ordered basil eggplant, basil chicken, soup, green bean, a leafy vegetable, and peking duck. They gave us so many wraps for the peking duck. The quantity in each dish is very generous, and the food was delicious, although too oily for my preference. The triangle plates were quite unnecessarily large, and so it was hard to fit everything on the table. This would be a great place if you want to bring home some food and have a ton of leftovers. read more
