Love bamboo house! This is one of my favorite places to come whenever I'm craving Peking Duck. Not only do you get the duck with the perfectly done crispy skin in a cute dish shaped like a duck, but you also get the rest of the duck in a bone broth soup. It's so much better than chicken soup with the tenderness and flavor. They give you plenty of the pancakes and veggies. David is the absolute best everrr! He always takes care of us and knows just what to recommend. Pretty sure he sees us and just puts in the duck order at this point. Anyways, the pea shoots are basically one of the only vegetables I love to eat and I'm always so happy to see it on the menu here. All of the dishes are great and you really can't go wrong. Come with a small group for family style while enjoying the intimate environment and good food! There's always plenty of parking and it's perfectly located right off the freeway. read more

Of course we were here for the Peking Duck. Usually the half duck comes with 10 pieces of skins but this time we only got 8. It's possible that we may have had a couple stick together. But regardless, we didn't have enough skin so asked if we can get 2 more skins, even if we had to pay for them. The waitress barked at us that it comes in 10-pks and that she can't get us just 2 pieces. Fine, but there's no need to be annoyed and roll your eyes at us. The service was much to be desired. We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star. read more

Bamboo House - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

this place is more like a 4.25 out of 5 stars. The only reason why i gave it 4.25 and not a 4.5 or 5 is that the water tasted funny. lol. I couldn't stand it, so i had to get soda. The food didn't take too long for them to bring out. i think the item that took the longest to bring out were the dan dan noodles. i honestly thought the duck would take the longest, but they brought that out first. the peking duck was so damn delicious. we ended up getting half an order for around 30 bucks. i'm very glad they do half orders here. the peking duck comes with sweet bean sauce, green onions, cucumbers, granulated sugar and some sweet fruit jam sauce. It also comes with 10 "pancakes". really impressed with the presentation and the flavor was out of this world. whatever you do, definitely get it. if you order the peking duck, you also get free duck soup. (they simply boil the bones of the duck and add some veggies) We also got pork with jalapenos and dan dan noodles. Both were good, the pork dish was greasy. But enjoyed the kick from it. The dan dan noodles was kinda lacking in flavors as compared to other placed i've tried. I have a feeling this place gets packed during dinner. We came during lunch, right at opening, and were seated immediately. But think if you're coming for dinner during the weekend, it might be safe to call in for reservations? (not sure if they even take it) read more

Very good duck here! Served with crispy skin, tender meat and all the expected accompaniments with plenty of rice! Also had spicy green beans. Wonderful food. Standard Asian interior, clean and bright. Service was prompt but not friendly. On my list for good duck, I'll be returning. Recommend! read more

Peking duck was definitely the highlight of our meal! We enjoyed how crispy and juicy it was, and we loved how the dish came with the duck soup. Our second favorite was the Chinese Vegetable Stir-fry (green bean, eggplant, potato, bell pepper). The mapo tofu was not too spicy, but was very numbing after a couple of bites. The portions were really big, making it a great spot for family style meals. read more

Bamboo House - Peking Duck - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I am so happy that we were finally able to eat at Bamboo House in Plano. My husband ordered a cup of the egg drop soup and the cashew chicken. I ordered the half-peking duck that came with all of the fixings and duck soup. My husband thought the cashew chicken could use more seasoning but I mentioned that often the chicken does not absorb seasonings as well as pork or beef and that the chicken dish tasted very "clean" to me. I am very sensitive to processed food additives and nothing I tried made me react. His egg drop soup was superb. This was my first try of Peking duck and I just loved it and enjoyed using the crepes to wrap the meat and crispy skin with the cucumber, cabbage, hoisin sauce and plum sauce. Very nice sensory sensation by using the hands. Love that! I found the service to be very efficent and attentive. The bell you ring at the table is an excellent idea and can barely be heard by the customers. I find this to be way more efficient than someone stopping by and checking on you when you aren't in need of anything. They also bring much of the food out on carts and man when those carts are rolling past your table, you find yourself gawking at the dishes and having a bit of entree envy! The portions are HUGE and the pricing seems fair for what you get. The restaurant was very clean and the decor was pretty hip. I plan to return! read more

Portions are humongous. I think biggest portions in any DFW Asian restaurant I've been twice so far so feel like it's time to give a review. First time I went I felt like the food was ok the duck was ok, but man I went recently and boy did the duck hit on all marks. The skin was so crispy and everything was tasty and fresh. The soup traditionally is good but really shined at Bamboo House. The white pepper was the perfect amount, I even took some home it was that good. Definitely get the duck. The spicy fried Mala chicken was good but i don't know if I'd get it again, I prefer less Mala TBH so if you like the lemon numbness of Mala you will love this. Honey walnut shrimp was great and huge portions, again portions here NEVER miss Get the egg tofu mushroom dish, amazing. Fried rice is decent, above average I think. Personally I think most fried rice at the Asian restaurants are mid, can't beat home cooked fried rice Garlic pea sprouts are a yes Service is actually pretty good Place is pretty clean too If you've only been once I recommend giving it another chance I'll be back read more

SO good! I've been to the location in Austin, and this location is just as good. There were ~13 parties ahead of us, and it only took us about 40 minutes to get our table. I highly recommend the green beans and the Peking duck. The green beans come in a massive portion size, and they're stir fried really well. Peking duck is a classic, and you also get some soup alongside the duck. My mom tried the double cooked pork the next day when she came with friends, and she said it was a really good order as well. Some of the best Chinese food in the city is definitely at Bamboo House! read more

DFW is limited in Peking duck, but this place definitely takes the crown for it out of all the places that does serve Peking duck in DFW. The Chinese food is also really delicious too!

Bamboo House - Peking duck - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

The food here was authentic and satisfied my craving for good Chinese food. Three of us split a half roast duck, fish filet in sour cabbage soup, and sweet potato in salted egg yolk, and we had plenty of leftovers. The food is flavorful, the soup spicy but not overwhelmingly so, and the duck came with everything you need to make duck wraps (the traditional way) along with a bowl of soup made from duck bones and leftover meat. It was delicious. I liked the sweet potato (not pictured) less than I thought - it was drier than I would have expected, and I felt like it was trying to masquerade as french fries, not the dry-stir-fried traditional dish that it truly is. The ambiance is decent, though not without its areas for improvement (namely the bathroom). That would not deter me from going back for the food, though. read more

Bamboo House - Peking duck (half) - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

When your favorite foodie uncle is visiting from out of town, this is the place place to bring him! This restaurant specializes in Shanghainese dishes that you can rarely find in this area. Just by the beauty of the dishes you can tell they are delicious. Trust me, the food was amazing. Check out my photos below. We got 2 orders of the duck plus the really thin pancake to make your own duck wrap, duck soup, mixed soup with noodles made of tofu, pea sprouts sautee in garlic, beef tongue (so tender and flavorful!), pepper steak, soup with pork ribs and tofu knots... The thin wrappers for the duck is special! It's rare to find that here in this area. Most places have the steamed bun (mantou). Only complaint is that my uncle ordered two very traditional Shanghainese dishes that were not available so he'll have to return the next time he visits. We had a party of 9 and got a large round table and everyone was seated comfortably with elbow room so this place is great for larger gatherings. Though if you have a small party 4 or less, the front room has smaller tables to accommodate. read more

Came for dinner on a Sunday evening. It was half full around 5pm. Restaurant is in a multi-story business shopping center. It was a few minutes to get a large table but once seated it was easy to order and the food came out quickly. Ordering Peking duck came with a soup that was served almost immediately. Then, two plates with all the additions (wrap, onion, sauces, cucumber) were served. The soup was enough for about 10 people and included napa cabbage and duck bones. It was flavorful and light. The Peking done was served perfectly soft, crispy, and flab The crispy fish was tasty and the snow pea leaves fresh and the portons were very large. The walnut shrimp tasted good and also a good portion. Prices were high, ranging $15-20 for entrees and $50-60 for special dishes. I recommend bringing a good sized group for sharing to be able to get some of these larger items. Note this is not fine dining as they put a plastic container of water and cups on the table. That's great for families to self-serve. read more

Peking Duck, Big Plate Chicken with Handmade Noodles This was awesome! The Peking duck was pretty good, skin was decently crispy. I always prefer the buns over the thin rolls, but this was still yummy. The duck soup was pretty good! The big plate chicken with handmade noodles was fantastic. Definitely worth ordering extra noodles with this dish! Was a little too much chicken for me, became overwhelming. But hey, too much food is never a bad problem! read more

This place is . Prepare to wait during peak dinner time but it is worth it. They turn the tables over and bring the food out pretty quickly even with a full house. If I had to guess by the buttons on the table, it probably used to be a Korean restaurant? Anyways - come in expecting a fairly lively atmosphere with a little dated decor. But the important part is they absolutely nail it on the food! My wife can finally have her lobster with noodles (don't see too many places in DFW serving it that way?) I can have my Peking duck - life is good. But what makes it even better? The eggplant appetizer - If you're gangster enough to eat century eggs and hot peppers with your eggplant, this place pulls it off real well! Just the right amount of heat and it comes in a good size bowl for being labeled an appetizer. Sheesh! If you're feeling adventurous and don't mind chicken bones/oily/spicy check out AP6. Portions are generous and tables are good size so bring the family! Pro tip - even if you only order a half peking duck, it comes with a soup. It is available with crepes which are better and less filling IMO. Their duck blows tian tian's out of the water! read more

They serve big plates of food but it all tastes the same, flavor isn't at all worth the visit. We tried Schezuan chicken and beef which had no flavor, no spice. The beef and broccoli was better but not worth a second trip. The front check in is a little odd too, no one shows you how to do it while they stand around the host stand chatting. read more

Don't sleep on this new spot! I saw it on Instagram and we immediately booked a double date. PROS: The food! The service! The ambiance! Truly no negatives here. From the front desk to the service we had a blast! The food was fantastic. We tried: ** Peking duck ** Fried Crab **Spring Rolls **Crab Rangoon ** Passionfruit Tea They appear to have just opened and it was very nicely decorated and appropriate to the price point. Ambiance is casual but also a fun spot to dress up just because! CONs: There's a weird bell that appears to ding but we couldn't figure out why. It flashes tae numbers on a screen for the staff. So, be kind of you hear it. It helps them! RECS: Get there early. I don't believe they take reservations. We showed up at 6 and they sat us super quickly! When we left around 8, the line and wait looked quite long. read more

This place definitely lives up to its name! It WAS the best peking duck in Dallas. We went during their soft opening and of course it was crazy busy, but we decided to go during early dinner so the wait wasn't too bad-- probably waited around 15-20 minutes. Make sure to put yourself on the waiting list using the kiosk. When we got seated our waitress asked us if we were going to get the peking duck and we obviously said YES. She said she would put in the order immediately which we appreciated. We received the dish within 5 minutes lol. It was SO good. The duck was tender and went well with all of their sauces which included the hoisin, brown sugar, and a ginger-like sauces. It also came out with a huge bowl of duck broth and white rice. We also got the twice cooked pork and loved the flavor-- a little spicy and lots of garlic. The portions were large that we took the leftovers home! Service was great for being super busy and food did not disappoint. The only issue I would say is that my bowl had food stains but wasn't a huge deal. Overall, a must-stop to to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine! read more

The portions here are huge and perfect for family style! With the whole duck you also get duck soup (be careful, it has bones!) as well as rice pancake, hoisin, and cucumber, and steamed white rice to eat it with. The duck is seasoned incredibly well and the skin is perfectly crunchy. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful. We all wish it was a little more salty though. The shrimp fried rice was gigantic but unfortunately only had a few shrimp in it. We tried to order the special noodles but they did not have them. Also those with allergies, beware! The king Pao chicken has shrimp in it, it did not say this on the menu. We also got the garlic green beans which was really my favorite of it all! The server was nice but once they brought our food they never checked on us and we're not really possible to flag down. Overall this place is pretty good :) read more

Food here was fantastic!! My friend and I ordered the half Peking Duck and Pork Belly with Rice Cracker. The Peking Duck was perfectly cooked, and the skin was delightfully crispy. The half Peking Duck was enough for the two of us to share. The Pork Belly with Rice Cracker was also another hit! The meat was incredibly tender, and I absolutely loved the textural contrast with the crispy rice crackers soaked in the braised sauce. Portion size was good as well. The accompanying rice was also a very generous amount. We did come during lunch hour. You sign up to get on the waitlist at the iPad in the front. Our waitime was shorter since our party size was just the two of us. Overall, I would definitely come here again! I was really impressed with the food and not to mention that this place is absolutely gorgeous - inside and outside! read more

It's not the best Peking duck I've ever had in the Dallas area. Most of it was just skin. You get 20 wraps with the whole duck order and a lot of them were hard. They include the duck body in the to go order and it would be nice if there was an option to not include it so they could use it for the duck soup. It's a shame to throw it away. read more

The Peking duck is amazing and by far one of the best I've ever tried. It comes with a soup made from the duck bones which is actually very flavorful. They serve the duck more traditionally with wraps instead of the buns/baos. The wraps or thin and are perfect enough to hold a few slices of the fatty duck. I thought the sugar that it came with was also a nice touch as it added some crunchy texture and a little sweetness to cut the fat. Highly recommend to come early as they run out of the duck very fast. Also very worth it to get the whole duck - we had a party of four and we still wanted more. I gave the restaurant only 3 stars despite the duck as the other items were lackluster. We tried Mapo tofu, twice cooked pork belly, and Szechuan chicken. Chicken was a little bland and lacked texture. The tofu was decent but not amazing. And the pork belly was a little dry. The other items on the menu however, looked promising. As this was the soft opening, some of the items were also not available. Wait was also very long even though we came early. Overall I still highly recommend this restaurant for the duck, but perhaps will stay away from most of the other food. read more

Food - 4 Service - 3 Value - 4 This is one of the better places to get Peking Duck (but they don't slice it in front of you and it comes with the crepes rather than the puffy buns). We also like their combination fried rice and their walnut mayo shrimp has big pieces of shrimp and is quite good too. Their sizzling beef dish was a bit too salty for my tastes though. You should plan to arrive early on the weekends as it can get quite crowded. read more

We had a big group dinner and take up two tables. They reserved a big room next to kitchen for us and we can see people doing food preps. The food served very quickly and the staff is attentive. We got the signature crispy duck and duck bone soup. I love the traditional thin pancakes that wrap duck meat, cucumber, and green onions together. Also get combo pan fried cho fun noodles, fish in boil spicy sauce, salt and pepper fish, bean tips in garlic sauce, twice cooked pork belly, and gansi(tofu strips) in chicken and ham soup. Our group favorite dish is crispy spicy chicken and peking duck. I personally like salty egg shrimp but several friends feel lazy to peel the shell. We had a lot leftover and the orange chicken tastes great after microwave. I'm happy to try bamboo house and will go again with big group. read more

Bamboo House - I've been wanting to find a place to be my new go to place for Peking duck since the mainstay of Mr.Wok won't be coming back. This place looks like the place. I didn't however have the duck since I would really be the only one eating it tonight. So lobster in ginger and scallion sauce, boiled fish in chilies and big plate chicken had to fill in instead and they did not disappoint. I will definitely be coming back. I did see so many ducks being ordered that I want to get it next time. read more

Food is superb! I am excited to have an authentic restaurant closer to home. Service was a bit slow, but it didn't really matter. They also have a bell at the table if you need help. If you want roasted duck, make sure to order right as you get seated first. It'll take a while for it to come out. It also comes with delicious duck soup. They do run out of duck sometimes, so you may want to call first if that is the only thing you are there for. We ordered other dishes, and they were delicious as well. This is the place to bring visitors when they are in town. There were a lot of big tables, but they were all taken. Food portions are huge, so be ready to share everything. read more

Came for the hype of Peking duck but I guess nothing can replace the Mr. Wok. Usually the duck is served at the beginning but this was brought out at the end of the meal which we were full by then. I also has it to go which was fine. The bones are used to make soup. My favorite thing abt Mr. Wok was the bone being stirred fry with pickled cabbage. We had the spaghetti noodles with lobster. I don't recommend this as it tasted pretty basic. I also don't recommend the fiery spicy fish with cabbage and beans sprouts. This is one of my favorite dishes at Chinese restaurants but not here. It tasted just like the Szechuan hot pot you get at the store. The string beans dish was fine and so was the fried rice. The Japanese tofu and bok Choy was a hit and only thing we finished. The portions are huge but the taste wasn't something that I'd care to return unless I'm really craving Peking duck and it's close to home. read more

The food her is delicious but the service could be better. It was kinda slow and they didn't seem to speak much English. It depends on where you are seated as well, some sections looks a little nice.
