I have heard great feedback about Bambok House and and their authentic Chinese Cuisine. The first time I visited I planned it to the T and when I visited their bar was not operational any longer, and that was apart of my planning. So I left. 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. read more

I've eaten at Bamboo House enough times to know that the food can be a hit or miss depending on the night. When it's done right, the flavors are bold and satisfying. 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. read more

Back to 4 stars this time. I have a pretty set menu that I order to-go from here twice a year to feed 25-30 people. The usuals in this large order are: Peking Duck, House Special Beef Noodles, Strawberry Chicken, Green Beans w/ Pork, and Shrimp w Fluffy Eggs. This time around, when I went to pick up the order, I noticed the Shrimp/Egg containers were smaller than they'be been in the past. I brought it to the attention of one of the managers who insisted it's the same size as it's always been (don't you hate when that happens?) I know for a fact the containers were larger (maybe they used the wrong containers previously?) and have always counted on the amount for the size of my party. Anyway, I ended up ordering an extra container to ensure I had enough, and I did. The food was delicious, as usual. I drive all the way from The Woodlands just to get this special order, because it's so good. The service could definitely be better, though. read more

Was craving peking duck and this place delivers, along with other excellent dishes as a nice surprise. Peking duck was 10/10. No notes. Good price, good proportion. Not too greasy. We did run out of pancakes at the end but there was like 1/4 of a duck left. Hits every craving you have. House special beef stir fried noodle was absolutely amazing. I'm obsessed with thick chewy noodles and these tasted like the hand pulled ones. Seasoning was perfect, can't remember if it was spicy spicy but there was a nice kick. Huge dish along with beef and some vegetables. Sweet potato in salted egg yolk was just sweet potato fries, but I love sweet potato fries so no complains. Fun little dish with a Chinese twist from the salted egg yolk. The only issue was during busy time, the duck soup will be the first dish to come out, sometimes long before you receive your peking duck. I prefer to sip the soup while eating peking duck, so I will attempt to request the soup to be brought out together with the duck next time. read more

Humble is the last place I expected Houston's best Peking duck option to be and at a Sichuan based restaurant (#1) no less. Bamboo House (竹苑) has become a Texas based Peking Duck specialty establishment with locations in Austin, Dallas, and here in Humble. Unlike its ambitious seafood based sister location (#2) that closed last year, this one stays true to what it does best: crispy, glistening, and pricey Peking duck. Given it's proximity to IAH, it's not uncommon for folks to show up with luggage as they're likely going to / coming from the airport with duck on their minds. The dedicated parking lot (#3) is not uncommon in these parts but due to its popularity, a wait most always is. The weekend crowds can easily command 45 min-1 hour waits, so a weeknight might be one's best bet to avoid the rush. Seating options aren't as spacious as it looks from the outside, but there are plenty of large parties that find a spot. Any spot in view of the open window display of the duck preparation is my preferred spot. The servers vary from Chinese-only folks to Spanish-English-friendly staff to accommodate the area's large Latino population. That's Houston in a nutshell. While Peking Duck originates from the north of China, the majority of their menu focuses on Sichuan, a fiery cuisine that has emerged as in all parts of the country but especially in Houston. Like many vestile Chinese options, there is no shortage of meat / vegetarian choices at mostly semi-premium prices. No one should be visiting here without having some element of their Peking Duck. $30 for a half, $56 for a whole, served with perfectly steamed pancakes (#4). The presentation is on point and the light crispy skin, along with the accompanying sweet + savory sauces, slices of cucumber + scallion, make for a near flawless bite. Their wide noodle (拌面) tossed tableside is a nice treat, and the flat noodle is quite excellent. Their twice cooked pork belly (回鍋肉) had a tasty aftertaste with a kick, and the eggs with shrimp (蝦仁炒蛋) was surprisingly tasty. I don't think any Sichuan meal is complete without long beans and pork (四季豆), which had a nice smokey flavor to it. The only bust was the fried orange tofu, which is a hit amongst regulars, but I didn't care for the sweetness despite the spice. The biggest highlight was their house soup, which was winter melon with chicken and cilantro. It was fragrant, seasoned perfectly, and the perfect start / end to the meal. Whether I'm on my way to /from IAH or just happen to find myself in Humble, I'm more than likely going to consider Bamboo House as a viable option for a quality Chinese meal. __________ (#1) One of the hottest cities for China's hottest cuisine. Literally and figuratively. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/bamboo-house-seafood-and-oyster-bar-houston-3 (#3) There are countless signs of "do not leave baggage in car" all over. Theft is rampant apparently. (#4) Since we're about that gringo life, there are no bones present or subsequent soups / rice to be used with the remaining parts. read more

My gosh, their duck is indeed the BEST duck in houston. I'm ranking this 8/10, if 10 is the duck I had at home in Beijing. Far better than any duck serves in Bellaire. My heart feels full from this duck. Brings me straight back to Beijing. I will definitely come back to try their noodles, egg and shrimp and all the other dishes the waiter recommended. read more

Bamboo House - Peking duck - Noodles Near Me - Humble, Texas

Truly, some of the best peking duck in Houston! The meat is tender, the skin is crispy, and the wrappers are thin but still stay intact as you peel them. I'm so glad they opt for wrappers instead of buns, as buns would be way too filling. While the outdoor sign rightfully claims to serve great peking duck, the other dish that we ordered was also really good! The Salt & Pepper Shrimp was perfectly fried and full of flavor without being overly salty. The veggies in the dish were also great - our entire table was surprised at how good it was. Unfortunately I had to dock a star due to the very slow service, mainly after we finished our meal. They were good in the beginning with promptly asking for our drink orders and getting our food order in, but then the dishes came out piece meal style with it feeling like ~10 minutes between each dish. Our table was a bit small, so I wonder if it was intentional to space out the dishes as to not crowd the table, but it would've been preferred that we had all our food at the same time. Additionally, once we finished our food, it took a long time to get to-go boxes and the check. At first we patiently waited for a good bit, then we flagged our server down and asked, and after more time passed I ended up walking up to the counter to ask again. She apologized and said they were short staffed. Great place to come to before or after a flight at IAH! read more

One of our favorite restaurants. I haven't posted in a while about Bamboo House. I tried a new dish Steamed Chicken in Chili Sauce something like Empress chicken but with a spicy chili sauce. It is served cold but has an amazing flavor and texture. As always, the host is very polite and waitstaff is professional yet friendly. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. Great place to bring the family. Thank you for serving our community with great food. read more

Amazing flavorful food, fast service, clean and bright. Lots of food and great prices.

I really enjoyed the food here! It was so good and the portion-size is pretty good too. We got the whole Peking duck and it came with duck soup! It was super flavorful and would highly recommend it. Also got the sliced fish in hot sauce (水煮魚). I personally like it when the fish is a bit crispier but the sauce and everything was really delicious. The same for the spicy pork chitlins! I like it crispier but it's still one of my favorite dishes to order and the place did it really well. I also enjoyed the tofu dish! It went super well with the rice. The food came out fairly quickly even though the place was really busy, which is a plus. It also wasn't too loud so you could have conversations at a comfortable volume in the restaurant! read more

My grandson had a youth football game over in the Humble area and I suggested I meet his family at Bamboo House prior to the game. The attraction was the Peking Duck. We ordered the 1/2 duck and it was perfect to share as an appetizer for the table of 5. We ordered an entree for everyone else - A couple of chicken and broccoli dishes, I got the Sichuan Chicken. We also ordered Generals chicken and sweet and sour chicken and a vegetable fried rice. Since it was a Saturday, there were no lunch specials, so we got family style portions of all the dishes. Way Way too much food. My daughter and her family were able to take home leftovers that could have lasted several meals. Everything except the Hot and Sour Soup was good. The Sichuan Chicken top notch, and the duck was all it was advertised and more. Really enjoyed Bamboo House. read more

Crazy that a nondescript side-of-the-road random looking chinese restaurant like this can have such good food with such good calculated flavors. I really like that for the peking duck, they use the whole thing by making a soup too. And it's not an afterthought, its a great dish of it's own right, as if I needed another additional reason to order peking duck, which was also great - delicately thin, crispy skin, and i like the thin wrappers all nicely preserved in a steamer. Walnut shrimp also slapped and the beef chili noodles tasted better than noodles made this style by specialty restaurants. read more

I walked into the place for the first time because I love Sichuan style Chinese food. So many good location in Houston now. I should have know better when I saw some of the customer plates on the table, that's it's not really Sichuan style cooking, even on the menu they don't have a lot Sichuan style traditional Chinese items. At least to me it doesn't! Too Americanize here! My green beans were not that great!! I never had green beans that say mince pork on the menu, but instead they put chopped bacon pieces and basil instead! For one, it barely had any pork in it! My 2 stars is base on the green beans. Maybe I'll try another dish and then give my final review. I see a lot of reviews that people enjoyed there dishes, I'm just not an Americanize Chinese eater anymore. read more

I heard the Peking Duck was the best here and I was definitely not disappointed. I came by with a group of friends to celebrate Lunar New Year, so we went in for a feast. They don't take reservations, so take precautions if you plan to take a big group on a weekend; my group of 7 came on a Monday night and secured a large table with no problems. Service was nice and food out came out really quickly too, which was a huge plus. Parking lot is huge, but there are about 100 signs plastered to the front door warning you not to leave any valuables in the car. I usually always take precautions no matter where I am but seeing that many signs did stress me out a little bit. But it's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, everything we tried was well seasoned with great textures. If you order the Peking Duck, the meal starts off with Duck Soup, which was comforting and flavorful. The duck itself was roasted to perfection and plated so cutely on a ceramic platter shaped like a duck! There ended up being more pancakes than duck, but I consider that a plus. We ordered several dishes besides, but standouts to me were the Japanese Egg Tofu with Mushroom, House Special Beef Noodles, and their BBQ Pork. There were also plenty of other things on the menu that piqued my interest like the Strawberry Chicken and lobster dishes, so I can't wait to come back to try those. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

We all know we go to Chinese restaurants for the food, not service. But this place is pleasant, relatively clean despite the greasy floor so leave those Jimmy Choos at home. Also this place is infamous for the warning signs on the front door of the restaurant, warning, not to leave any valuables like luggage visible in your car because, your stuff will get jacked FRFR on God. So once you are prepared with proper footwear and empty car, let's get to the eating. I recommend the Peking duck, of course, and get the duck soup. Something that I've never seen as a peking duck garnish is raw sugar, which I guess will enhance the taste of the Crispy roast duck. If you know, please let me know! What I like about this restaurant is the perfect hoisin sauce. And the spring onions and cucumber. The quality of the food is solid and I recommend also the fried rice. They package everything nicely to go so be sure to get some because as with any Chinese food, you may be hungry Before you know it. Bamboo house is definitely my free flight and host flight meal of choice so I recommend you hit it up because those airport meal options are pricey and not as savory. Bamboo house, see you soon! read more

It's been six years since I last visited. Supposedly the in place for Peking duck. We essentially got the same stuff as last time I was here, and the noodles and duck were still solid. Someone at the end even ordered General Tso chicken. Sacrilege. But it tasted pretty decent for General Tso. A bit of a drive for those not in the northern burbs. But that's not me anymore. read more

I read some reviews looking for a place to go in the area. Decided to try this out and oh my goodness we have found our new favorite! From the outside, it doesn't look like anything special but the food was amazing. High-quality and fresh. Crab Rangoon's were so good. We placed a second order to go as well as the hot and sour soup. Portions were so huge. We had lunch, then came home and had dinner and we still have leftovers for tomorrow. I've already told three or four people about this place and can't wait to go back. I want to try the Peking duck and some other dishes that I saw coming out of the kitchen, which by the way is right where you can see them cooking the food. The beef broccoli with some of the best I've ever eaten if not the very best. A must try.!! read more

The pecking duck here was fantastic. It has the modified sweeter taste to it but it doesn't disrupt the original pecking duck experience. The duck comes with great presentation and the pancake buns were soft and hot. The servers are super attentive. Slightly disappointed with the salted egg yolk sweet potatoes. Was expecting something more seasoned instead of just fried sweet potato with salted egg yolk coding. It seems to be one of the only nice Chinese restaurants in the area. Definitely worth a try for their duck. read more

Every visit here is a reminder of why this place stands out from so many others. The food never disappoints -- perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and always served fresh. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, from the texture to the seasoning, and the menu offers such a great mix that it's easy to find new favorites each time. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant is busy. You can tell they care about giving guests a good experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting -- casual enough to relax, yet still feels special. One of the things I love most is how balanced the flavors are. Whether you're in the mood for something rich and savory or light and comforting, there's always something that hits the spot. The portions are generous, and everything arrives hot and beautifully presented. It's become one of those places I recommend to anyone looking for consistently delicious food and great service.

This place is so good. My team and I had to stay another night in Houston due to the hurricane affecting Atlanta, but we definitely don't regret it because the food here is great. The prices here are AMAZING, and the portions they give are huge. We got the house special fried rice without the shrimp, but it didn't matter because they LOADED it up with chicken. We got half a Peking duck, and it was delicious. We also got twice cooked pork and mixed vegetables, and all of it was so good and we definitely went home full. The service here was very attentive, and the inside of the restaurant is huge but very clean. If I am ever in the area again, I would definitely come here if I'm craving Chinese food. read more

Wow oh wow! The Peking Duck here is amazing. I am totally floored. I have been to multiple big cities in the US and have tried various restaurants that tout their Peking Duck but it is good or great at best. The Peking duck I have tried so far in the US have paled in comparison to Quan Jude's Peking duck in Beijing. We decided to try Bamboo house since it has good reviews, the pictures on Yelp look delicious, and we wanted to try a different Cuisine. Bamboo house was out of the way from central Houston so it took some effort to get there. The restaurant was in its own lot with plenty of parking. The interior looked like an average Chinese restaurant. The menu was extensive but we decided on a whole Peking Duck. The Peking Duck is cooked to order so it came out fresh. An order also included a free big bowl of vegetable and tofu soup, 20 pancakes to wrap the Peking duck and a sauce and topping tray. The quantity was enough to stuff two hungry people. The taste was otherworldly. The duck skin was slightly sweet and perfectly crispy. The duck meat was tender and moist. Each piece of meat was well cut in size. The thin pancake, as opposed to the bao bun, was the perfect carrier for the duck, scallion, and cucumber. This is the best Peking Duck I have had in the US by far. Service was excellent as well. read more

Very authentic Chinese cousin. Peking duck and pancakes were outstanding. Very unusual and great tasting duck soup was good surprise.

This place has a really cool Asian old school feel to it , with red walls, Chinese lanterns and absolutely fantastic food. We ordered the Kung pow chicken with white meat. (Only two dollars extra for that.. ) we also had the teriyaki chicken that was with dark meat. That was excellent and we ordered the barbecue pork fried rice. Delicious!!! Everything was enormous size portions one dish feeds three people, and I am not kidding!!! the bill for two people and enough food to eat for three days was $59 that also included some cream cheese wontons ....the service was fast and smooth food came out less than seven minutes. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near the Houston airport. It's about a eight minute drive. There's a reason why this place was rated at 4.7 stars. I'm giving it five stars. Enjoy. I will eat there again next time I'm in town. read more

I have read the good & bad reviews here & waited over a week to write my personal review. I'm glad you that found this good food are happy. Upon driving up to the restaurant to park, there were 'storage boxes' on the left side. It was open to see & what disturbed me most was the box that read "PERISHABLE KEEP REFRIGERATED." That box was in the direct sunlight! Not a good start. The front door has white signs all over it, some in English & some in another language, saying, " Do NOT leave luggage in vehicle." Thought that was interesting as I do know the area as it used to be the old Baytown Seafood. I guess with the little hotel behind it, they needed to post these signs & they were also inside when I went to pick up my order. There were customers enjoying their food & the inside looked nice. I took my order to go & was not very happy after we ate. EVERYTHING tasted the same! Their idea of 'fried rice' was steamed white rice with a lot of soy sauce. Not a green pea or sliced green onion one, or anything else for that matter. The walnut shrimp was a large lump of flour all stuck together with a small shrimp inside of it. The Chicken Lo Mein tasted just like the shrimp. The only dish that was a little better & tastier was their Kung Pao Three. That's it. I was just very happy that my fortune cookie was fresh & didn't say I would get sick. Will not return & will not recommend. My hopes were high because I lived in SE Asia ten years & was really hoping to find a good Asian food restaurant but that was just not to be! read more

I hear a lot about how good the Peking duck is, so I thought I would present another comment on the lunch special I had today. I got the szechuan beef with the hot and sour soup and eggroll. I'm not an eggroll fan, but this was perhaps one of the best I have tasted, fresh and flavorful. The soup was chock full of veggies and likewise excellent. The main course was huge and the beef very tender and tasty with a nice assortment of veggies. I plan on coming back with friends to sample the Peking Duck. Very pleased with the quality and value of this place, a rare combination these days! read more

I recently dined at Bamboo House. The food was good and enjoyable, though service overall was just okay -- I've had better elsewhere. Our experience started off a bit uncomfortable when our party of five was initially seated at a smaller table near the front lobby, which was quite cold every time the doors opened. They were eventually able to move us to a better spot, though from my perspective, the staff seemed reluctant to do so. Towards the end of the meal, I had a frustrating and bold experience when the server asked for more tip money after seeing the signed receipt -- in front of our entire party. To make matters worse, they came back to ask if everything was written down or changed. As someone who works in service myself, I understand how important tips are -- but it felt rude and unprofessional to pressure a customer this way. Tipping in the U.S. is customary but optional, and servers should be appreciative of whatever tip they receive. This incident really spoiled what was otherwise a decent dining experience. Many countries don't use tipping at all, yet service is still valued and respected. Ultimately, a server is always better off with a tip--even a small one -- than with none. A simple thank you and appreciation for the service goes a long way without making the dining experience awkward or uncomfortable. read more

I have been here 30 times at least! The crispy duck, the salt and pepper shrimp, the giant bowl of $4 wonton soup and the Sizzling chicken are just a few of my favorites! The portions are more than shareable... the service is pretty good, and they're always busy. The bathrooms really could use a deep clean as well as the floors... but idk, I don't plan on eating anything that drops on the floor... so, no big deal. If you order "to go" the portion size is DEFINATELY smaller so keep that in mind! The food is excellent and it's a true hidden gem. Everyone we take there falls in love with it! Lastly, on weekends... they serve special authentic dishes that will absolutely knock your socks off if you're brave enough to try something new! read more
