The best Chinese food in the area. Dumplings are amazing. General Tso's was perfectly crispy and great flavor.

The food was decent. There was 5 of us for this takeout order so we tried a little of everything. Only issue is, something was going on there and it took forever to get the order. read more

Bamboo House is one of those really special places. It's been in Ridgewood forever and has to be one of the best and most consistent Chinese food restaurants in the nation. Chicken and Broccoli is always right, the General Tso's has just the right amount of kick, and all the dumplings are phenomenal. (steamed or fried) . It's a great spot that does things right! read more

Bamboo House - Noodles Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Finally found a good Chinese takeout place!!! You can tell they put care and love into their food. Our fav things were all the soups, general tso Chicken, and lo mein. Satisfies the cravings but wasn't greasy; all the meat we had was cooked and seasoned well. Pickup was fast - will be our go-to Chinese spot going forward read more

Good Chinese food - love that the couple has been cooking for so long it's our go to for Chinese take out in the area. Sweet and sour soup is pretty good! read more

Yoo the food was so bussin you gotta get them dumplings. Things so moist and they hella big

Inedible I order from this restaurant last night and would give it no stars if possible. The strings were old and shriveled up the shrimp was dry and had no taste the egg rolls were too doughy the spare ribs cold and tasteless. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this restaurant. read more

Very disappointed. Used to be great food. Maybe we caught em on a bad day. The chicken lo mein was mushy and looked like it was made 3 days ago. Couldn't eat it. Chicken and broccoli dish was average at best. The spare ribs were very dry and tasteless. The egg rolls and dumplings were ok and we filled up on them. read more

bamboo house is just ok. i ordered general tso and beef chow fun. both meats were not tender. the general tso sauce was watery and lacked flavor. the beef chow fun was average but couldve used more salt and more wok flavor. i paid $39 which i thought was a lot but was hoping it would be spectacular, sadly it was just ok. read more

Finally I have a go to Chinese restaurant 20 mins away. Finally after being in the area for 3 years. The food is delicious but this is not a big sit down restaurant, it's very small but homey. You think you are in someone's auntie or moms house. I was blown away . More to come. read more

I like divey Chinese take-out joints and this ramshackle example still has all the late 20th century patina from its 28 year run. You would think that with all that pedigree, the food would be awesome. Not! While the proprietor (Sherry) is very pleasant and the menu is thankfully brief and to the point, I found the food to be a 2.5 at best. I rounded down because my take away experience was a nightmare. We ordered Mom's Dumplings (beef and shrimp), Pork and Corn dumplings, Orange Beef, Young Chow Chow Fun and Chicken Corn soup. Ok -- so the dumplings are tasty -- sized like an asian pierogi brimming with meat; the dumpling skins are thin and envelop the filling perfectly. I would order the pork/corn combo again but the beef/shrimp version (Mom's) was mealy, not as flavorful and lacked texture. That said, I have had better dumplings at dumpling houses in Chinatown and Queens for less money -- but this is Ridgewood and convenience counts. But our dinner went downhill from there. The soup was tasteless, despite a fair dose of shredded chicken. You could barely taste the corn -- which should be a prominent flavor, The orange beef was fried to the bejeezus belt and desiccated -- more like beef jerky in sauce. Seriously? It was impossible to chew the beef and greasy as all get out. We tossed it after one bite. The chow fun was edible but unpleasant because the noodles were floating in oil thus drowning out the nice selection of protein and vegetables that accompany them. Bamboo House food truly underwhelmed -- despite the raves in the reviews by my fellow Yelpers -- I must disagree this time. I suppose that if I was hung over, or drunk, or looking for asian comfort food at 2am, Bamboo House fare would taste awesome. But as a usual take out joint for anything other than the occasional order of dumplings, I'm afraid not. Top Tip: Pick up of take away orders is chaotic here with identical looking bags randomly stacked all over the counter -- so make sure you pick up the right order. Easy to grab the wrong bag (I did) and the ensuing confusion and finger pointing about fault -- kills the food chi. read more

Amazing as always, the food is delicious. It is the best egg foo young you'll ever have!

A lot of Chinese restaurants in my area are closed for safety concerns due to the coronavirus. I drove to and my wife went inside to pick up the food. She said that it was small and they were using the only table in the dining room for the takeout orders. There was no picture of the food on the wall like you would expect. We noticed it was a little more expensive than we were used to, but realized that we got a lot of food. I tried the General TSO's chicken like always and my wife got the chicken and broccoli, like every woman I know. The quality of this food really blew my mind. I think that every single place I've ever had Chinese food before probably used the same frozen chicken and I've never noticed it until now. I have questioned if it was really chicken before because chicken doesn't come in those shapes. This place must make the chicken fresh. You can really taste and see the chicken when you bite into it. The sauce wasn't as flavorful as I prefer and was also a little watery. The chicken and broccoli was perfect. The quality of chicken makes this place far superior than most Chinese restaurants that I have had. The vegetable lomein had a good mix of mushrooms, corn and cabbage. All the ingredients tasted fresh and clean. The egg roll was huge and also delicious. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. Pick your self up some dinner and have enough for left over for a lunch or two. read more

Bamboo House - a variety of food items on a table - Noodles Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Everything your neighborhood Chinese restaurant should be. The service is friendly, the food is good, the portions are generous

Have been a Bamboo House customer for many years. If you are looking for the best Chinese food in Bergen County, look no further. This is a gem. All the dishes seen to be made with loving care. Every taste even for the most basic dish, tastes special. You may have to wait for takeout, but the wait is worth it. read more

My mom really wanted chinese food but all the Chinese restaurants near me closed due to covid. Called this place as my last one before giving up, but to my surprise they picked up! There is a 20% increase due to the situation but I didn't mind. I ordered their chicken wings, beef and broccoli, and their wonton in chili sauce. Going into the restaurant, they were EXTREMELY busy with bags for takeout everywhere. I got my order very quickly by a woman who seemed to be taking orders, preparing it, and coordinating all by herself. Although busy, she was very kind and she was the ONLY business that I saw who gave me a wipe with cleaning solution on it when returning my card. I truly appreciated that and want to thank this business for staying open along the craziness. The food was grand! The wonton in chili sauce has a hint of peanut sauce in it which I was expecting but delicious! Chicken wings were small but mighty delicious and the beef and broccoli was cleaned out! Pls support this business! read more

order very early if you want food from Bamboo! Sherry is now 34 years in #RidgewoodNJ , she and Aldo and longtime cook are making it fresh for you. Shortage of ingredients meant no noodle dishes with peanuts but udon noodles substituted for one dish was a treat said the kids. Hot sour soup missed a little kick for me but all shared. We started with spring rolls. Her Taiwanese family sent masks, alcohol wipes abound, delivery on weekend and curbside/trunk pickup. Be kind, be patient, respect the work. I went next door to SuperCellars for beer and the other side to Sook for chocolate and almond croissants for breakfast! Keum Sook, thanks. read more

See all

The food is awesome ! The dumplings are amazing, everything is very fresh and delicious. Sherry is a character and someone that I genuinely enjoy interacting with. Don't end up on Sherry's wall of shame lol read more

My go to chinese place in ridgewood! This place has been in business for too many years to count, and clearly family run. The food is consistently good and the best in northern NJ! read more

Food is great and the service is impeccable. They always have great specials. I think it's the best Chinese food in Bergen County

A must stop everytime we come home. Now living on the West coast, I would say Bamboo house is good or even better then some places you would find in San Fran or Seattle! Happy 34 years!!! read more

My friends and I decided to order takeout from here on Christmas Eve instead of cooking. They are always raving about this place because my friend's parents know the owner, and they all love the food. With that said, it was a shock when I picked up the food (for 3 people) and it was almost $90... Every main dish was $20-25 each, when the website has each listed for about $18.95. I don't know if it's because it's Ridgewood or because it was Christmas Eve, but that kind of price for Chinese takeout was a stretch to begin with even before the random upcharge. The food was good, but not with those prices, and it's definitely not good business to have incorrect prices listed on your website. They were also rude on the phone. After reading other reviews, it's apparently a common thing for them to randomly upcharge people by 20%, which, after doing the math, is accurate for my bill as well. That's an absolutely disgusting business practice. I hope it comes back to bite them in the *ss. read more

This restaurant is wonderful. Simply wonderful. I don't use that word ever in a review. Based on reviews I came here. It does not disappoint. Food is GREAT. Woman at the counter is super sweet. I've read she's the owner, not sure. She handed me a sanitizing wipe with my card and one to my husband, and we appreciated that. The food is so good. Huge portions, huge dumplings, broccoli cooked to perfection. Pricey, yes, but worth it. You getting what you pay for here!! read more

I would never recommend this restaurant at all! They were very rude! First problem is they do not have a menu on their website to choose from! So, I had no idea what they had and how much the dishes cost. After ordering, they could not give me a total. They had to call me back after 15 mins and when I found out the total cost (overpriced!) and asked to remove some items, they already had the food made so, I could not change my order. The owner had a terrible attitude on the phone. When my son picked up the food, again the owner was RUDE and embarrassed my son by reprimanding him! To top it all off, their food was lousy!! The only thing that was good was the packaged Fortune cookie, which we know they did not make. I would never eat their food again! The owner has to learn some manners. Save yourself some aggravation and money, order from another restaurant! Here's one star for the fortune cookie! read more

Bamboo House - Noodles Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I made my first visit last night and I was pleased that I called ahead so that I would not be surprised when I got there and saw that the place is a small but visible gem, that provides but just 3 dine-in tables. Ms. Sheri did let me know on my call to her that they are 95% take-out. As many have previously mentioned, the food is very good (for Chinese food in NJ, which you just can't seem to find anywhere), the platters large, can definitely serve a family of 4, and fresh. The cons: no bathroom, but she has a good relationship with the business next door; no juices for kids, just cold drinks (soda). At the end of the meal Ms. Sheri did make small talk with me to inquire how I knew her name; at some point during the meal I called her over by name making a request. Having been in business for over 30 yrs, my face didn't ring a bell, so she was curious how I knew her by name, and so I told her, "Yelp." We both had a quick chuckle. She was super pleasant and appears to be well known and liked in her community. I look forward to my next meal. read more

Superrrrrrr RUDE and unprofessional!! Do Not Eat here! My husband called and attempted to place an order and since they didn't have something he wanted on the menu they hung up on him. HORRIBLE read more

I heard the food is good and reviews look good but many seem to mention nasty attitude from owner. I figured I would try it anyway since I'm just doing pickup due to Covid. I called and placed order and at end of order the woman on phone who I assume is the owner everyone refers to stated there is 20% increase. I asked why and she muttered something I couldn't understand. While I was in process of replying that I guess I have no choice she hung up on me! read more

Our regular Chinese take out closed so we went in search. After several miserable attempts we found The Bamboo House. Some of the best Chinese Food (wouldn't be fair to call it take out) I've had in a long while. The prices are in line with restaurant menus and well worth it ! read more

Great place. I love bamboo. Highly recommend bamboo if you are hungry and need delicious food

This place is truly incredible. The owner even made hot wontons for me (vegetarian style)! She was super on top of it with handing us sanitizer wipes and cleaning everything, and making sure we're at a safe distance from one another. I'm thrilled to have been recommended this spot and it's genuinely one of the most authentic and delicious (definitely most affordable for the quality) Chinese restaurants I've been to. **this place has gone above and beyond during COVID-19, and it truly speaks more than words (or this review could capture). Eager to be back. Thank you to the owner and the employees that brave this virus to keep the place running, and provide consistently amazing food and service. Thank you :D read more

Bamboo House - Wontons in Chili Peanut Sauce - Noodles Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Just meh. Nothing great nothing horrible. It wasn't my favorite at all. The chicken and broccoli was a little bland. The spring rolls had shrimp? But the crispy noodles were great! I won't order again though read more

The food here is very good. I just recently ordered off their lunch menu and it was a huge portion. Their Steamed dumplings are amongst the best I've had in this area. I can't say I loved the wonton soup. It was fluorescent in color and had no flavor. The biggest problem is the fact that they only have one driver for takeout that drives extremely short distances and I have to pick up each time I order. Overall- very tasty. read more

Food is great Love the moms dumpling with peanut sauce Owner is friendly and it's my go to spot for take out Chinese food read more

I've never tasted dumplings like I have here at Bamboo House. Fresh, delicious, what more can you ask for?Mom's dumplings are to die for. Sheri (the owner) is very sweet and provides great customer service. I wish there was a bamboo house closer to my house but trust me, it's worth the drive. Try her dumplings and you won't regret it. read more

Bamboo House - Mama's Dumplings, my favorite - Noodles Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

The owner Sherry has been making dumplings for maybe half a century? I feel like she said this to me but I'm not sure if I'm misremembering. Anyway everyone loves those dumplings. I myself have yet to try them but I have had the chicken and broccoli, and although this is among the most boring dishes around, it's one of my favorites and this place makes it better than just about any takeout place I've tried. I don't feel gross after eating it. In some way it feels light and like food, instead of like fast food. There are two or three tables here for people looking to eat in, but mostly it's a takeout/delivery place. read more

I'll get the only con out of the way first-- it's expensive. More expensive then you'd typically pay for Chinese anywhere in the area. However that being said, it's the best Chinese food anywhere around. I challenge any of you to find a place that makes better dumplings.. they're incredible. The owner is a little rough around the edges for some people, but if you compliment her food (which I assure you is no tall order), she'll love and remember you. It's a top notch Chinese spot. I don't know what it is they do special (whether it's the ingredients or recipes themselves), but again the best tasting Chinese in the area. Highly highly recommend. read more

Very polarizing reviews for this place. A lot of five stars (food) and a few one stars (attitude). So.......4 stars. The good - ordered two entrees, an app and a small soup for two people for a $48 total. And we got three meals out of it each. The price is high compared to other Chinese food places but the volume is compelling. Second, many Chinese restaurants use pre-fried chicken chucks for their Gen Tao/Sesame chicken etc. the quality of the chicken chucks at Bamboo house are of a far superior quality. Tender chicken and none of those weird batter knots that you get at more price competitive joints. Also, a good entry into my never ending quest for a quality bowl of hot and sour soup. I order the tia-Cheng(Sp?) Chicken and ordered it extra spicy. Glad I did just to get an entry level amount of heat. Ok the bad- or, the weird. It's COVID times so the dining area is closed. Ok nothing strange there, except there is a large pile off empty beer boxes taking up the right hand side of the restaurant (maybe to put food in for transport), maybe just a pile of garbage. Who knows. So that. And then there was also a large table of raw green beans or soybeans or edamame that it appeared were being peeled or trimmed or cut in the area that used to be the dining room. And you had to walk past this area to get to the register in order to obtain your food. Now silly me, I'm thinking that these are snacks left out for people who are waiting for their food or the Uber drivers or whatever and then I'm like ITS COVID MORON don't touch anything. And then I get to thinking, I didn't put these beans out, who's the moron? Last thing, the Chef looks like she's working alone, so she finishes cooking the food, puts it in the container, bags it up brings it to the register rings me up takes the money and then goes back to cooking. Was she also the mildly peeved woman who took my order over the phone? Maybe now I know why she was so peeved in the first place. Sheesh. read more

Celebrating 33 years serving the community with the best food made from the heart. Sherry and Aldo always deliver the BEST tasting food. Everything on the menu is great!! There isn't anything that I haven't liked/loved!!! AND their servings are so generous, most times I have a meal for two days. Moms dumplings, anglehair noodles, spring rolls and Lo Mein are just a few of my favorites but try anything and I guarantee you'll love it. There's a reason they've been in business for 33 years!!!! GREAT FOOD!!!!! read more

The greatest Chinese food in New Jersey!!! Yes, I said it. If they tell me to wait 5 hours because they are busy, I will happily wait to eat it. read more

Dumplings are amazing. All the food is fresh. Not that fatty fake chicken you get at most Chinese places.
