I have heard great feedback about Bambok House and and their authentic Chinese Cuisine. The first…read moretime I visited I planned it to the T and when I visited their bar was not operational any longer, and that was apart of my planning. So I left. The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

However that being said, I REALLY enjoyed the "old school" menus, tables , and chairs and the very friendly and welcoming wait staff. And my Mongolian beef was very tender, peppery , and full of flavor. Some of the best I've ever eaten. I also enjoyed the crispy egg roll , eggy egg drop soup, and well seasoned shrimp fried rice..I gave 3 stars only because there was an off putting smell in the restaurant upon entering that smelled like a dirty fish aquarium that needed cleaning ... ( fishy and unpleasant) and the ice tea that was served was very watered down with no taste of tea. But again the food was good....

The menu is not a cushion of the two cultures. Their menus are separate and pretty much the same as when they weren't co-housed. Tai Li food remains delicious. It's certainly busier now and something the Fujiya wait staff is not as familiar with some of off menu foods that Tai li has offered for years. Over the "fusion" works.

It was pretty empty when I arrived for dinner, though there were a few patrons dining in as well as people picking up to go orders. The Japanese selection is fairly large, with options like all day bento boxes, poke bowls, rice bowls, and of course various sushi rolls. The Chinese American offerings were limited to a few classic options like sesame, Kung Pao, Mongolian, fried rice, and stir fried noodles. I wasn't a fan of the eggroll or the crab roll appetizer. The flavor was uninteresting in both items. My poke bowl was okay. Despite being the poke bowl with some of the most components, it was still rather mediocre. Service wasn't great either, which is surprising since we were some of the only ones dining in. Overall just tasteless or weird tasting food. Not really worth a second visit.

The staff were attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere made the whole dining experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend trying the walnut shrimp--I personally suggest asking for a little extra sauce or for it to be made creamier if you prefer it less dry. Also, the N8 noodles were AMAZING--definitely one of the best noodle dishes I've had here. Highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be back!

American food for those who don't want Asian; salads, fresh fruit & a long table of desserts.
