Bamboo House has officially become one of my favorite new go-to spots--and the fact that it's so close to home might be dangerous. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, flavorful, and consistently delicious. This is quickly becoming one of those places where you start developing "the usual" because you already know they're going to deliver. But I have to specifically mention the egg drop soup. I've had egg drop soup from plenty of restaurants over the years, and I can confidently say this is the best I've ever had. Rich, comforting, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. I wasn't expecting the soup to steal the show, but here we are. Great food, friendly service, generous portions, and conveniently close to home. Bamboo House has earned a permanent spot in the rotation. Highly recommended! read more

The food was overly salty, unfortunate the service took a long time. We got the sesame chicken and general tsao it was supposed to be spicy, they both tasted the same, same sauce etc. None of the 3 entrees include any veggies which every other Chinese restaurant includes. read more

Bamboo House has become one of my favorite spots in Brentwood! My mom and I come here all the time, and we LOVE the shrimp fried rice. It's always so good and full of flavor! The food is consistently delicious, and we always leave happy. Definitely a go-to spot for us! read more

We were running errands and needed dinner so we stopped in at Bamboo House and ended up really liking this place. The vibe is super chill calm, relaxed, quiet and just an easy spot to grab dinner without any stress. It's the kind of place where you can actually chill and hear each orher while you eat lol I ordered the General Tso's chicken, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It's not spicy, so if you like something milder, the sauces was a lot thicker than im used it and definitely wasn't spicy. The chicken is white meat, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauce has great flavor without being overly sweet, could use more red chili flakes but that's my preference. My girlfriend got the chicken and broccoli, and hers came out fresh, hot, and cooked just right. We kept swapping bites and both dishes were really solid. Portions are generous definitely at least 2 portions, the service was friendly, and everything came out fast. Nothing fancy just good food in a laid back atmosphere. We left full and happy read more

Bamboo House never fails to deliver delicious food! My daughter and I come here often, sometimes for pickup and sometimes we eat in for lunch. The staff is friendly and attentive and the restaurant is cozy. Their kabuki is every bit as good as the more expensive show hibachi down the street. I highly recommend you order your Chinese food from here! read more

Did you know that bamboo is a grass? Sure enough, it's in the grass family. So why did I start my review with this fact? Well, it's because I don't want you to let grass grow under your feet while deciding whether or not to try this restaurant! Do it!! Alex J approves. When my daughter, grandson and I visited on an early Saturday evening, it wasn't that busy......yet. There was a stream of Grub hubbers filtering in for pick up, but we, and another table, were the only ones seated for dinner. Hmmmm we thought, does this bode well for our dining experience? Spoiler alert....YES! Our thoughts needed not to be on the popularity of the B H, but were better occupied by more important things, like wondering if Springhills infrastructure is going to catch up with the unbridled home construction. Yes, Springhill is home base for my loved ones. Our orders were promptly taken, and it wasn't but a few minutes before the dishes were placed in front of our salivating selves. All of us patrons loved our meals. I had the beef noodles, my grandson the Mongolian Beef, and daughter the General Tso's chicken. Done and done. It was awfully quiet during the shoveling action. Ohhhh... was it ever a good meal. Fresh and hot. Everything was perfectly worthy of honor in the highest realm of whichever dynasty you prefer. Uhhhh, not so fast Alex J. If it was so good, then why wasn't this a five star review? Well my dear readers, it's like this. After a wonderful Chinese meal, one would expect that it would be topped off with a crisp fortune cookie with wise prophetic insights. It didn't happen in this case. Oh, the fortune was right on. Mine indicated that I am proveyor of great gastronomic knowledge. No, I didn't have issue with that tidbit of information, correct as it is, my displeasure emanated from the cookie itself. It was stale as a limp handshake. Not a good way to end a fantastic meal. Who knows, maybe they're trying to make due until the tariffs on China are settled. In the meantime, their fortunes may better be served voiced by a smiling face, rather than a rubber biscuit. Don't let the end keep you from the beginning. Alex J, you sound like Confucius! Quick Tip: If you want to have some fun, use the Lens app on your phone to translate the Chinese characters on the menu. It's pretty cool. read more

All of the food had very little substance or flavor. Service was fair. Surroundings were nice. Prices are OK for some things, but high for the quantity of other items. read more

10/10 service love this place definitely check it out!! Food is great and their drinks is so good I would recommend trying their mango sunrise fruit tea‍ read more

The food here is very good. The steak hibachi is alway cooked perfectly. They accommodate our special request which we appreciate. Food taste fresh and flavorful. Inside is very quaint and welcoming. We generally order take out but have enjoyed eating on site once which went well. One of the better asian food places in the area...imo. read more

I went in because I was craving hibachi chicken and was already next door for a Yelp Elite Squad event. Firstly, it was hard to tell if the place was even open because most of the dining rooms lights were off and about half the chairs were up on tables. It was prime dinner time, about 6:00 or 6:30 PM. I confirmed with the person at the counter that they were open. Totally bizarre. The ordering experience was fine but the food was nearly inedible. I don't think I'd ever had a hibachi or teriyaki type dish I didn't like until this visit. Overall a bizarre and bad experience. read more

My family and I decided to try out Bamboo House tonight as an easy meal before Super Bowl Sunday. However, we could not be more disappointed. General tso has absolutely no flavour, sweet and sour soup you can still taste the thickener they use. Egg drop was okay, but the popcorn chicken and the dumplings were gross. Overall, we were left disappointed and hungry because we couldn't bring ourselves to finish the food. read more

Virtually inedible. Mushy, flavorless noodles. Chewy, gross chicken and tofu. The spicy edamame tasted like spoiled Buffalo sauce. My 4 year old daughter threw up an hour after eating - and she only had a little bit of the plain noodles. Threw most of it out. Really awful. read more

Delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this place! read more

I heard about this restaurant from a friend, she was telling me about how they had a new owner and the food was so much better! I decided to go check it out myself and it did not disappoint! I got the steak and shrimp hibachi and it was so delicious! The owner, season is very nice and welcoming! She told me about how their yum yum sauce is homemade! The restaurant is also newly renovated and it is very nice in there! I would definitely recommend for others to try! It is a nice mix of Chinese- American food and also traditional Chinese food! read more

Always my go to spot when I crave Chinese food. They have fast service and the food is full of flavor.

The food was so sweet. I ordered Mongolian beef. The beef tasted almost candied swimming in a super sweet sauce This dish is usually savory with caramelized onions which add a natural sweetness but in this case it was obvious that plenty of sugar was added to the sauce and beef. Disappointing for sure. read more

Food and service is great!! :) the hibachi chicken and steak were delicious the strawberry matcha was very good too!

Came in for dinner but ended up falling in love with the drinks. The strawberry matcha is a must-try and also the fruit tea drink! -- it pairs perfectly with the food. Check out the drink menu, you'll be surprised at how good it is. read more

This place is just across the road from where I live. I was a little peckish. Thought I would try their spring rolls and they were very good. I will be going back and trying other dishes now. read more

It was not a good decision to come here for ramen. It's a great looking hole in the wall restaurant. Few seats, tables not clean, tables were not level. A lot of ppl coming in for take out, our group of four thought that that's a good sign. Not sure what they all were ordering but pretty sure it wasn't ramen! First of all be of this pandemic, we are a bit vigilant about washing hands; going to the restroom was a slip and slide because of the greasy floor. The hall leading to the back of the restaurant where the restrooms is were stacked with supplies and stock. Cluttered. The restroom has NO hand soap or paper towels. Which is a concern due to this pandemic and the rule of restaurant workers must wash their hands! I looked to a worker and they were not available to inform, I tried to locate one. Yes there was hand gel... but the plunger was gross and dirty. Ewww We should have canceled our order and left but we gave it the benefit of our doubt. Our ramen noodles were NOT ramen, the broth had no flavor and they use MSG without a mention on the menu. One of our party had an allergic reaction and had to take a Benadryl to stop the allergic reaction of throat swelling. No matter what the others who came and ordered take out, and how popular this place may be for, the fact remains, the restroom did not have soap for employees to wash hands!! And the tables were dirty! The ramen was not as pictured on the menu, just the worst. read more

My favorite thing about this place is how QUICK they are! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of how expensive Chinese food has gotten. Partially not their fault because I'm sure they are just keeping up with pricing in this area. We've ordered from here multiple times, both directly through them as well as through delivery services and the food is always hot and tasty as well as large portions. You definitely have left overs after ordering here. Always very nice and helpful when picking up your order as well. read more

I had ordered from here once before and it was good, but this time, what a huge disappointment. I was staying in a hotel not far from the Bamboo house and used Uber to pick up my order. They were thirty minutes late on delivery and the Uber driver even apologized on their behalf for being so late. I ordered the Shrimp salad and Happy family with Lo-mein ( paid extra for that too) and both were awful. the shrimp salad was frozen in the center and had to microwave it just to eat it, luckily the shrimp were in a separate container, and because they were frozen once the ice thawed it was tasteless. ate the shrimp by them selves. I ordered Happy family as my entree, and it too was cold and needed to be warmed up. It was bland, no flavor at all....it came with white rice, but I paid extra for Lo-mein and that was a no show. Because I was in a hotel I asked for "silverware" and a couple of sauces and they too were a no show. All in all it was a huge let down. I wont be ordering from them again. read more

Ordered dinner for family on their website for 7:15 PM pickup. Got to restaurant at 7:20 and they had not even started cooking. There were 4 other people waiting for overdue orders as well. Food came out at 7:46. Won't make that that mistake again. That aside, it was the best Chinese we have had in Franklin. Only dropping them 1* for the huge headache they created trying to pick up. read more

good service and good food. Ask for the Chinese menu. They also do catering to Vanderbilt students. read more

Disgusting. Ordered sesame chicken. They had to check if it was dark meat. If there was any meat, it was fried away to oblivion. Could have paved my driveway with that stuff. The presentation was nice, but hands down the worst food I've had. The prices are stupid, and they don't even have filtered water. It's all plastic bottles. I was kicking myself for not going to Panda Express. That should tell you had bad the food was. read more

One star is being too generous. The cook behind the grill blew his nose while preparing my food. The clerk refused to cancel my order due to the food "being ready". DO NOT Patronize this establishment. If I saw the cook blowing his nose while making my food in person, I can't imagine what they do to other people's food who are not present. read more

I've ordered delivery from Bamboo House four times. Twice I ordered a "Traditional Chinese" dish and those were the best I've had outside of San Francisco's China Town. Once was good and once was mediocre, normal fair for this area. They have a great menu offering Chinese,Thai, and Japanese (ramen and sushi). I can't wait to try it "in -person." Give Bamboo House a try! . Worst case scenario is an average experience. read more

Ordered Uber eats from here, one star is being generous. I ordered hibachi filet rare and was served literal raw, uncooked bits of cut up meat. They didn't even sear the outside! I proceeded to cook it myself and had to throw it away after one bite because the meat tasted rotten and was very tough, I don't believe it was actually filet mignon. The sesame chicken I ordered was mushy and dry/stringy chicken. Rice was mushy. Dumplings also terrible. Will never order here again, I highly recommend you find some place else because nothing could be worse than this! read more

We have visited this restaurant for years and always had good food and service but just waited 1 hr and 10 minutes for pick up and arrived home with foods missing. Chicken was old and had been reheated and overall not fresh. Only Had one employee cooking for a full house. So not okay. read more

The guy cooking was eating from the plate that he was serving.... Not clean at all And there was a long wait read more

This is -- by far -- the best Chinese food in Franklin. I am SO happy we found it! I asked for 4 stars worth of spice and they listened (which I often find isn't typical!). The flavor in the basil fried rice was excellent, as was the hot and spicy chicken. Well definitely order from them again. read more

Order arrived cold and missing 2 of the 5 items. Shocked that this place has even 1 good review. No pride in what they do. Hated to give it a good 1 rating but a 0 isn't an option. read more

This was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. We ordered fried dumplings, hot and sour soup, orange chicken and pork mei fun. Ever order food that's so bad you literally just can't eat it? I've had meals that weren't great but you suffer through and find some good somewhere there within the bad and make do with it. But no, we spent $46 at Bamboo House and it was bad to the point we threw it out and had to go buy another dinner. My wife's orange chicken was burnt to a crisp. The dumplings were out of the freezer section at the grocery store. Odd, but my mei fun smelled like bleach. We will never be back read more

Went to this place to order some food while waiting for my food I saw one of the guys in the kitchen blowing his nose over the food so l told him to cancel the order, he refused and started shouting at me. it was my first time going there it was my worst experience at an Asian restaurant. Rude customer service and nasty asf y'all don't care about the customers read more

My wife insisted on ordering P.F. Chang's again. I refused. I hate chains. We had to branch out and try a new local Chinese restaurant. I found Bamboo House and had us order. My mistake. The Kung Pao chicken was absolutely flavorless. My wife couldn't even finish her meal it was so bad. And that's why I'm not in charge of ordering food anymore. Maybe years from now we'll give it another shot. But for now, we're going to avoid this place. read more

I love this place. Just came in to get my House Lo Mein. This is the friendliest Chinese restaurant in Williamson County, TN. Keep it up guys. - Lucas read more

I am never one to leave reviews, but was very disappointed in the quality of my food. I don't know if it was leftovers from Friday, but the egg roll had a vinegar taste to it and the egg drop soup tasted like it had been sitting on high for a week. The sesame chicken was just okay. Spent almost $20 to through over half of it away. Won't be back. read more

Food was tasty in decent portions and not exorbitantly priced. Not really conducive to eating in although there are tables.
