    Dan Dan noodles
    Jeff K.

    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)

    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.

    Ordered peking duck and one vegetable dish, was perfect for two people and even took leftovers home. Total was about 50 dollars, which was a great value. Service was fast and there was no wait to get seated on a sunday afternoon. Ample parking. Food was good.

    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!

    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

    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! We love the kungpao chicken, honey walnut shrimp and the soup that goes along with the Peking duck when you order it is fantastic too! Highly recommend!

    Went for my birthday dinner and had an excellent Peking Duck. Super crispy skin, delicate pancakes/crepes, and delicious duck meat, plus tasty duck soup as an appetizer. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday meal!

    Peking duck (half)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great place for peking duck. No reservations and can get crowded on weekends, so the earlier you can go the better. Started getting crowded about 630pm. Portions are very large. Staff is very friendly.

    To go whole Peking duck with extra wraps
    S L.

    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.

    Is the Peking Duck carve at table side?

    No. When the Peking Duck arrives at table it's already carved.

    Do they serve wine?

    No why would they.

Oh and no alcohol (i don't drink), but if you do unfortunately they don't serve it. Go try this place the dumplings and noodles are awesome!

We were seated ( party of four)next to a larger table in the corner of the restaurant. When we ordered, they only took our appetizer order and we had to wait a long period of time before they would take our entree order. During this time, a large table next to us filled up with 6 people who were making so much noise that our table could not even hear each other's conversation.The larger table occupants were loud, rude , and obnoxious. We asked our waitress to do something and the wait staff ignored our request to intervene on our behalf for calmer demeanor from them. Finally , someone from my table had to address this personally and confronted the loud group and asked if they could tone down their enthusiasm so we, and other patrons, could enjoy our evening at the restaurant. They only cut the noise for a few minutes and started again with the loud voices and over boisterous laughter . We were greatly disappointed with the staff and the overall establishment. We normally have a nice dinner with the attentive wait staff and enjoy our menu choices. Because our concerns were not addressed, we don't feel respected and wonder if we will dine again here.
