Waiter doesn't know how to separate work in life. Food was good though. Waiter kept cursing like we were friends or something.

Beef in Hot Garlic Sauce w Pork Fried Rice
Patricia E.

OMG! The food! Looking for quality Chinese for an early Saturday dinner. Chose this place for its convenient location on/off Veterans and the Yelp rating. Greeted immediately in this open space seating restaurant with lots of natural light. Server was ready to take our order ASAP, but told him was our first visit, we needed a minute. We did ask what the people behind us were eating because it looked divine. He told us, took our drink order and departed. Ultimately we ordered 2 meals: the spicy Honey Chicken w/white rice and the Beef with Hot Garlic Sauce w/pork fried rice. Each came with a spring roll. We had the dumpling appetizers explained, gave our server some of our preferences and told him to just bring us one of the choices he would order. We ended up with steamed pork bao, and they were SO good! First time for my husband, and he's hooked. The white rice with the chicken was perfectly cooked - something I always admire since I can't do it. The Honey Chicken was flavorful without being too hot; no veggies, which was fine with the husband. My Beef with Hot Garlic had tons of veggies, including lotus root! I haven't had that in over a decade, and there were 6 large pieces in my meal. I thought I won the lottery. Service was very good. It was a team effort, which I really appreciate. All the orders were taken on ipads around the servers' necks so everyone could access. Check out was painless. We took home enough leftovers for another meal and the take out containers were nice - no leaks. Totally returning!

We ordered a lot of the menu. Snowpea leaves, walnut shrimp and peking duck. Peking duck was the low light with so much bone that it was almost inedible. The vegetables were good and so were the soup dumplings.

Xiao Long Bao

A couple weeks ago I visited Bamboo House for the first time. I ordered the Xiao Long Bao, and I wish I had ordered more. They were so flavorful and delicious, it did not disappoint. The service was great, and the ambiance was very comforting. I can't wait to visit Bamboo House, again in the near future!!

Curry seafood

I didn't realize when we decided to try this place that it's in the location that was Royal China (who's dim sum menu I miss dearly). You wouldn't recognize it by looking at the building, it's totally renovated and sort of the opposite ambiance. Everything is bright and open. The service was fine, we got what we asked for, though some things (like utensils) I would have preferred to have just been at the table. But this might be my new go to for simple, well cooked Chinese food in the city. The menu has typical American Chinese dishes, but also has some dishes that hint at authenticity in the kitchen. We had the crabmeat and crawfish Xiao long bao, which were quite large and very tasty, Curry seafood, which was the Chinese style yellow curry that I grew up with, with large shrimp, pieces of fish, and sizeable but not overly chewy squid, and a good amount of peppers and onions to balance. The shocker for me though was the salt and pepper tofu. My partner and I have a favorite place to get this fish in Austin, and have been working on trying to replicate it at home since he doesn't go there for work much anymore. When I saw this dish hit the table tonight I was underwhelmed. The tofu didn't look battered or seasoned at all, and the only accompaniment were large slices of jalapeno. But one bite and I did a full 180. The tofu was clearly brined, and whatever it was fried in was so flavorful! I didn't even miss the batter because they somehow got the exterior crispy. Definitely will be back to try more things, excited to have another spot with more than serviceable Chinese food in the city!

So glad to have an authentic Chinese food spot in the area! Their XLB (soup dumplings) are the best we've had in the city. Food always comes out piping hot and full of flavors. Diverse menu for those craving authentic vs Americanized Chinese food at great prices. Service always excellent with many attentive waiters frequently checking in. Food comes out quick and always impressed by the taste and flavor. Cant really go wrong with any items on the menu! Ambience beautiful, bright and clean

shu mai
Sarah A.

If you are looking for a casual, tasty place for Chinese food, Bamboo house is a solid choice. Service was fairly quick and friendly. I went here with friends to celebrate Chinese New Year and we shared the tofu, lo mein, kung pao chicken, and shu mai, all of which were good. I haven't tried too many places for chinese food in NOLA, but I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of options here, notably a few more traditional chinese dishes on the menu. I will be coming back to try more from their expansive menu.

Duck
Ada M.

Came for dinner on a Monday night. Place is clean and cute on the inside. Had a good amount of tables and was pretty crowded for a Monday. Our server was attentive. However we weren't wowed by the food. The best part was definitely the xian long bao. They were hot, fresh and tasty. But the ginger that came with it tasted old. The duck came out steaming hot, but wish it came with vegetables or something. The menu wasn't clear on what it came with. The shrimp were delicious, but were not nearly as hot and fresh as the duck which was disappointing. Overall, it was good but not great. Pretty cheap prices though which was nice.

Combo lo mein
Beth W.

Second time here and both times have been great! Love the atmosphere and staff are all friendly. Food is wonderful! This time I got combo lo mein and the sauce was delicious.

See all

Do they have liquor?

I know they have sake, so I'm pretty sure you can get a drink. :)
