    Chow fun (noodles) -beef
    Dawn C.

    My husband and I decided to go to bamboo noodle house after I drove by and saw the sign earlier this morning. For several years, we were big fans of El Chinito Gordo, the owners decided to close the restaurant and rebrand the space to offer a successful menu based on an another location in Tucson called Bamboo Terrace. I didn't look ahead at the reviews for the restaurant until we were actually at the restaurant and based on that ordered the Chow Fun Beef for dinner. My husband ordered the orange chicken and then we ordered appetizers as a starter. We had very prompt and attentive service and decided to have hot tea with our meal, choosing their jasmine tea, which was good. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we were seated right away and were able to get our drinks and appetizer order in and brought out to us in about five minutes. The handmade dumplings are advertised outside the building, and were like pork empanadas with a thicker dough and a good amount of poor filling, served with a garlic soy sauce. We then ordered our entrees which came out well timed to when we finished our dumplings. I very much liked my chow fun noodle dish, which has flat broad rice noodles that were about 1 and 1/2 inches long. The dish isn't much to look out but tastes delicious. The strips of beef were tender and were well seasoned. My husband ordered orange chicken, which had orange peel strips tossed in the dish. He expected some spice to the dish and so was disappointed overall with the flavor and felt the chicken was dry. Overall we had slightly different experiences, as I loved my entire, the handmade dumplings were okay, our jasmine tea was perfect. While my husband felt his entree was disappointing. The seats are metal chairs with cushions and the dining space is able to accommodate large parties. We were seated and finished our meal and left within an hour. Overall a positive experience as I'd happily return for my entree but for someone wanting spice the food was not spicy. There were a few families with children for dinner. Bamboo Noodle House seems a good place for Chinese inspired food. The family behind us was reading their Chinese animal year character features aloud, off the placemat. I remember doing the same thing as a kid myself; a good memory for me and I imagine a nice experience/meal for them too. I'm excited to return and try their wonton soup dishes.

    Great spot, excellent service, homemade dumplings were crispy and large and delicious, beef chow fun was also a great choice, however orange chicken was dry and not very appetizing it's something I wouldn't recommend or ever order again but everything else was great!

    We stopped by for a weekday lunch. I was seated right away and water came quickly. We each ordered the shrimp & pork wonton noodle soup. It was a big bowl with plenty of noodles and wontons. The restaurant was busy and we were checked on frequently. I ordered a beef chow fun to go and was surprised it came in a quart size box. For the price I thought it would be in a larger container. There was plenty of parking. On the weekend, they are open at 12 noon.

    I really wanted to enjoy this place and had high hopes because for some reason this location no matter what is there never does well. The service time was a little long and the food was mediocre. The hype online was just overrated. I ordered the dumplings and pork and shrimp noodle soup. The dumplings were good and would return for those possibly. The soup was super bland lacking flavor and would have loved it with some garnishments or something to add to it. I really hope they do well and this location stay up and running.

    My friend finished all his food! It was delicious.

    The service was extremely fast, and the food was tastefully prepared. And on top of it all, the area was very cozy.

    Princess chicken
    Kim L.

    I wanted to like it more than I did. The service was good, and the food was fine, but it wasn't anything special. My husband had the beef lo mein and I had the princess chicken with rice. I liked the spice in the princess chicken, but I really wanted more vegetables. There were just a few tiny pieces of green pepper. I liked it and ate it all, but I wouldn't order this dish again. I'll go back and try the noodles, as it is a noodle house, I've heard good things about the beef chow fun. I also want to try the boba. The boba bar was cute and inviting, and all the teas look delicious!

    Lunch special lo mein with chicken beef and shrimp
    Hannah S.

    Tried this new spot and the inside is very small and casual. We got here in time for lunch special and ordered the $12 lo mein. The portions are lunch sized for sure - a little small but good for lunch. The soup I thought tasted a lot like campbells chicken noodle, so not my favorite. But the lo mein was good! They have complimentary sauces and chili oil so that helped add some flavor as well. The servers were very nice & timely. A good casual spot but I do think that there are comparable spots in Tucson. Definitely worth a try!

    Melissa M.

    We came here about 45 minutes before closing time, and our waitress was still very nice and helpful picking out which teas we would like. I also LOVED the dumplings appetizer.

    We finally had a chance to try out the Bamboo Noodle House! We've been wanting to go since they opened it and if you like Chinese food, I highly recommend this place. The food was very flavorful and we met the owners who were there. You could tell that they really care about the customer experience and the service we had was great!

    Got the brocolli and beef, vegetable lo mein, and house fried rice

    Servers were very kind and helpful, food was delicious and came out in a reasonable time- did not feel super greasy like many similar restaurants in the area. Music and layout of the restaurant was inviting. Would come again tbh.

    Sesame chicken served with steamed rice (not pictured)
    Magdalena C.

    This newly opened place is absolutely delicious. The servers were all very friendly and attentive. We tried the sesame chicken, beef chow fun and pork wonton soup with noodles. The sesame chicken was crispy and saucy, beef chow fun was very flavorful. The soup had the perfect base that you can customize with the variety of sauces and condiments available on the table. We will definitely be returning!

    n o e l l e

    Not much of a greeting, and almost all the food arrived cold. The only good items would be the beef and broccoli, orange chicken, crab rein goons and the dumplings. The waitress was also very clumsy and rarely apologetic, she dropped a glass of water at the table behind us, and almost spilt the sweet and sour sauce all over us.

    Cantonese Chow mein and chicken Chow Fun,, rice
    Cristina F.

    Great food, very fresh. Great service. The dumplings were amazing, they are made daily, in limited quantities . The Chow Fun noodles were very delicious, the chicken Cantonese chow mein had crispy noodles and lots of vegetables. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated, very comfortable environment.

    Menu. (Small) no variety.

It's not going to be the best you ever had in your life, and if you've been to Southern China, you're not going to be blown away. HOWEVER, it is the homemade taste that makes it good. It doesn't feel like any other restaurant, it feels like you are at somebody's house. Here's the thing, I came in expecting the usual Chinese food affair, but I left genuinely surprised and impressed. This restaurants specializes in Southern Chinese food, which is different from other regions. I am so happy this restaurant and its chains helps the cuisine gain exposure and adds depth to Chinese food in general. Even better, the menu is laid out in a way that it is easy to understand: gluten-free options, allergies, and spice level. The service was great. All though it isn't a "full" sit-down restaurant, everybody there seemed to know the menu well and was happy to be there. As a Cantonese person, it was nice hearing my language being spoken in the kitchen. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean and very modern. We came during early dinner time so the parking lot was near empty and easy to park. Overall, if you've never had Southern Chinese food or are looking for something more authentic than classic Chinese takeaway, definitely check out this location. The cherry on top are the big portion sizes and the price.

We arrived around 2:15 and staff was making it super clear to everyone that they closed at 3 so we needed to be out by then. Mentioning this not as a complaint at all because these folks work hard and closing time is closing time so I can respect that, but if you happen to arrive here less than an hour before closing time, your only options will be take away or eating outside at one of their tables. The Guilin Spicy & Sour was super hearty and the leftovers the following day were absolutely delicious. I really enjoy spicy dishes but in order to really appreciate all the flavors of the ingredients, I'd try the regular Guilin next time or see if the heat could be dialed back just a bit. Overall an 8/10. The Taiwan beef was a big hit too. That beef was so soft, it would just melt in my mouth. The veggies were cooked but still crisp, and those noodles were perfection; thick, not mushy at all, super tasty. And the next day it was even better! Mon-Thurs there's also a $1 drink (only certain drinks ) with any entrée special so we got a chance to taste the honey lemonade (tastes exactly like it sounds) and the iced milk latte (a bit too sweet but good).

Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago.
