Bamboo House restaurant

We visited on a rainy Saturday night but that didn't deter people seeking a great meal. Have been before and as usual, the food and service was excellent. Peking Duck is always a highlight but we have never had a bad dish here. Yes it is a bit on the pricey side but if you are seeking a special night out, don't hesitate.

Very expensive. Less than 150mls in wine by the glass.

The food was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely visit again

Exceptional food, service and great location. A true iconic Chinese restaurant in Melbourne that never disappoints.

Awesome food and place to go in Mel CBD - Mick

Still one of the best. Tea smoked duck is a stand out!

Peking duck was excellent as usual. Lovely drinks and service.

Lovely food and great service. This was my second visit and won't be my last.

Old school Chinese Great food amazing service. My favorite l, luv the duck

Bamboo House was as good as ever. Peking Duck was delicious, service was excellent and a very approachable wine list.

Slow service, food was not hot but food was delicious

Fabulous food and service. Great wine list but a bit expensive.

Terrible. We were told to order more food, we refused and it was made clear that if we didn’t order an entree and a main each we wouldn’t be served. We left in disgust

This is our favourite restaurant in Melbourne by far. The food is absolutely delicious- especially the prawn dumplings Schezuan beef, Peking duck and salt and peeper calamari. Thank you so much to the team at BH. Delicious food,excellent service,lovely ambiance. 10/10.

Amazing food, dumplings, duck pancakes and dry beef were all outstanding. Great service and not at all rushed. Beautiful!

Good food. Customer service can be better given the price and venue

Excellent Food, Service and Atmosphere. The food here is delicious and amongst the best in China Town.

Great food beautifully cooked. Great service. The meals did not take long to arrive.

Very professional and high class Chinese establishment. Very much you get what you pay for. The service was excellent down to the waitress making your half Peking duck rolls for you. Superb.

Great food and quick service, the duck was fantastic .

Always good. Quality food in a great atmosphere. Enjoyed Bamboo House for over 40 years.

Saw good reviews on trip advisor. Booked and wasn’t disappointed. Great service and delicious food. Will definitely go back in the future.

We chose Bamboo House based on the majority 5 star reviews to celebrate our Mother's birthday. What we thought would be a lovely evening was overshadowed by the deplorable service and attitude of Anne, the MANAGER of the restaurant towards our table. Strike 1 was subtle but noticeable when our order was initially taken by the Manager. Whilst appeared to be friendly and helpful on the surface, had an underlying impatient manner when we were discussing our choice selections. Looking back at her mannerisms and her attitude towards the other patrons on the evening, we felt she was pretentious towards our table. However, we gave her the benefit of the doubt then. Strike 2 - one of the seats was apparently in the path of foot traffic. The occupant of this seat (A) was instructed very rudely and was forcibly removed from her seat to move to the next seat, as if the person seated was a child behaving in an unruly manner. We initially politely refused to move, based on the delivery of the "request". Strike 3 was the ultimate 101 act of what nobody in the service industry should do - throw a tantrum, literally huff puff, walk away, swear at your customers (calling A a c**t in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect - note we happen to be the only table and persons in the restaurants of Chinese ethnicity that evening. There is a presumption that the other patrons would not comprehend her swearing), ignored our table the entire evening with no apology whatsoever. Note, she walked away without completing our order and sent a colleague of hers in her stead. We decided not to walk out on this restaurant as we did want to experience the food here. No issue on the menu and taste but no restaurant is worth their salt if the service is abysmal and unpardonable. We find that this restaurant tends to favour a particular set of customers and if you fall into that category, hurrah to you. There are other chinese restaurants in Melbourne with a better pricing point, taste, ambience and most importantly, service than Bamboo House.

Great service from Ann and the staff. Food was generally of a high quality however the xiaolong bao is not as good as cheaper places and the beggar's chicken was on the dry side.

Been going there for years, we haven’t been there for 5 years, the food was very average, service ok. won’t be going back.

Food and service was fantastic. We will becoming back to savour the special dishes.

Excellent food with attentive friendly service. What more could you want?

Great food, excellent service. Perfect quick break before the theatre. Thanks you, we will be back soon

Fantastic food and Ann and Andy really looked after us in the private room with great service. They did everything they could to make our group night special.

It was a great night out, will return soon, all of us will

We explained that we were off to the theatre and received prompt and efficient service. Our rapid meal was fresh and tasty.

The atmosphere was appropriate, the food delicious and the service attentive

We had a nice table near the window with plenty of space. The waiter suggested that he could choose our food and it was the best thing ever. All the courses were amazing but specially the zucchini flowers filled with minced pork and Peking duck pancakes. A wonderful experience and meal.

The food was amazing and the staff were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Awesome food and amazing staff , a favourite restaurant of ours

We had a wonderful meal at Bamboo House. The staff were very attentive and enjoyed some banter. Unfortunately we found it a little noisy and having older parents with us it was a little difficult to communicate. But that said we had a great time out at Bamboo House and would go there again.

Everything was perfect - food, service and setting. Only (minor) let down was the pork in the sweet and sour pork dish - a bit too fatty. Highly recommend.

Great food...great service. Would highly recommend for a bite to eat

A business meeting held confidentially with great food and wine served discreetly ..thanks

Recently being recommended to Bamboo House by a friend, I decided to take a business associate who’s favourite food is Chinese food. BRILLIANT IDEA

The food was amazing and the night was made extra special by the attentive and friendly service of the staff. Their singing of Happy Birthday capped off a wonderful evening.

Quality food, private room for table of 10 was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Service was good. Toothfish a real highlight of meal along with Peking duck.

Second visit in ten years, and the standard hasn't changed. Very good good, but the stir fried mixed veggies, in particular the baby bok choy had sand in it. Only drawback. The Peking duck was fantastic, probably the best in Melbourne. Alan our waiter was great and serviced our table greatly. Will definitely be back for more succulent Peking duck. Thank you Bamboo house.

My wife and I visited for meal and we cannot say good enough comments on the meal, service and atmosphere it was all great and we will be back.

Bamboo House is a fantastic little Chinese restaurant full of character. The food is Fantastic as always and the customer service is on point. You can’t go wrong here.

Absolutely Awsome service,even better food!!!!will be back for sure,lovely birthday gesture for my partner,great atmosphere,good vibe,highly recommend this restaurant to any one in Melbourne,you wont be dissapointed!!

I found this restaurant by a google search of 'best dumplings in Melbourne'. When I arrived with my family, the outside of the restaurant didnt blow me away. But when you get inside, its a really lovely restaurant. The BEST PART is the food and the service - I would say its one of the best chinese restaurants in Melbourne, just on food and service! It may not have the flashiness of Silks at Crown, but if you want an amazing chinese meal and world class service - I would highly recommend Bamboo House. We will be back!

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is vibrant and engaging and the staff are absolutely amazing. You will never be disappointed at Bamboo House. The Sichuan Crispy Duck is to die for...

the ginger chicken is really tasteless and dry.the rest is just so so.not very authentic chinese food.wont go back again.but the environment is quite and service is ok

Noisy but vibrant atmosphere and Ann found us a more quiet table. Excellent food with courses delivered spaced out as we requested. Service with a genuine smile from everyone. Great Night for table of 4 gentlemen.
