Absolutely amazing place service was impeccable the food was delicious absolutely delicious would highly recommend this restaurant
Awesome dinner here last week... Did not disappoint. Great service also is now a fav place to eat when in Melbourne.. Will be back
5 of us had lunch . We ordered the lunch meeting banquet menu . The tables had crisp table cloths and were spaced well . Food was portioned and plated individually which was nice . I think it’s the traditional silver service . Used Plates taken away after each course . All the dishes taste great . Salt and pepper calamari , San Choy bau , Peking duck , king prawns , eye fillet steak with Cantonese sauce , fried rice and a fantastic crispy fried battered banana with ice cream . It was a luxury to have this service and food was delivered at the right pace for an unhurried lunch . We were there from 1 pm. to 4.30 pm. Restaurant is fully licensed and we ordered wine by the glass . Tea is complimentary. Will be back again for unhurried good service and the food .
Came here for a work lunch, quiet enough to have a group meeting for 10ppl. Food was delicious, but catered towards non-Chinese diners so don’t expect anything traditional. Absolute standout was the Peking duck, the skin was crispy and golden brown, and the meat was succulent. Delicious, wish I could have had more!
Haven’t been to this place for ages! I was told to order the Peking duck and lobster omelette to give a go and I did! Definitely one of the best Peking duck in the city. The lobster omelette is a must to try. We’ve ordered more food but I was too hungry to take the photos. Most customers have been coming here for years. Service was fantastic. They’ve got good wine selections. Highly recommend to book. Perfect for birthday party or any family’s lunch or dinner. Enjoy :)
Went here with my mum before a show and it definately didn't dissapoint. I ordered the lemon chicken and my mum ordered the sizzling beef with vegetables. Both dishes arrived within 10 minutes of ordering and were cooked perfectly.
The staff were also very accommdating and the price was reasonable for the serving sizes.
Would definately recommend visiting this hidden gem.
Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was great. Great interior of this place and comfy! For starters we had chicken and mushroom soup. Was yum but I would have preferred it without peas. It’s quite a different taste with peas. Then we had the three dumplings which as prawn scallops and fish which was so tasty and xiao Long bao which is pork dumplings and that was yum as well. Didn’t try the sauces with it. I normally just add soy sauce. Had the combination noodles to be honest it wasn’t the best combination noodles I’ve had but still tasty. Prawns were massive and so delicious. The beef came out with a candle which got me so excited and was very yummy. A little spicy for me at times but still great. The steamed fish fillets were not great. It was bland and looked unappealing and couldn’t taste the soy sauce it was watered down so much and the ginger was just fresh on the top and didn’t mix into the fish for flavour. Fried rice is always good. Overall I would rate: friendliness 5, interior 4.5 and food 3.5 giving it a 4.3 which rounds to a 4.
Bamboo house was not a disappointment! I love the traditional chinese restaurant atmosphere of this place and the service was fantastic.
The prawn cutlets and pork dumplings in chicken broth were absolutely delicious. The dumplings were so juicy and the broth was so comforting and warming.
We couldn't go past trying their Peking duck, we got half. It was definitely some of the best Peking duck I had ever had, the best in cbd. Was happy to see we had 4 decent sized pieces ( duck wrapped in pancakes with cucumber and hoisin sauce). It was very delicious and definitely recommend not skipping on the duck. We also got the Cantonese eye fillet and Chinese broccoli, both were great but
I've had better than both and for cheaper elsewhere. I think it's a little overpriced but I was quite pleasantly surprised with the bill of $180 for two seeing as we had had 3 drinks each. Overall keen to go back again.
Refined, delicious food and easy to see why Bamboo House is an institution. Whilst a little tired inside, overall it is leaning towards a fine dining experience. All food was excellent with the exception of salt and pepper calamari which was tough and barely edible. We were never asked at any point in the meal how the food was, nor when paying the bill. The fish in sweet and sour sauce was particularly excellent and I loved the fried rice - not greasy at all. Worth the price, go and enjoy.
I would very rarely give a 5 star review, but our visit to Bamboo House was worth it! Let me get this out of the way; it is expensive, make no mistake, this is not a budget restaurant! But: it was good, and I would happily pay to do it again. We ordered with the help of the waiter, had a selection of dumplings for entree, a whole Peking Duck & Dry Fried Beef Strips for mains + some greens. Everything was very good. Even the ever fussy 14 yo did not utter the slightest of complaints and rated everything a “10”, which is pretty much what everything deserved. The service was very good and everything was clean. The decor, well I really couldn’t give a stuff about the decor, if the food and service is that good you could paint it bright orange with lime green highlights for all I care!
This restaurant has been around for long time but have managed to keep it on the down low. They are on the high end of Chinese food restaurant, the kind where they change your plate after every dish. Food are excellent especially their dry fried beef and Peking duck. The beef is very addictive and unique. Everything else is excellent but very pricey.
We came here for our annual team lunch on the hottest day so far this summer. Fortunately the aircon was pumping and we were none the wiser of the furnace that was outside. We come here every year at about this time and came along with a regular patron so we’re fussed over a little more that usual perhaps.
I couldn’t eat all that was on offer due to dietary requirements but certainly enjoyed the chicken san choi ban, fried rice, calamari and vegetarian spring rolls. The others partook in Peking duck and all raved about it so that’s a good sign.
I also enjoyed sparkling wine which was served beautifully cold and crisp. I look forward to our annual visit here. Good reliable friendly service.

We went to Bamboo House because a friend recommended us to go and I have to say that the food and service was amazing
Oysters, fish and duck was all sensational
The only disappointment was we were too full to try the lamb which apparently is fantastic as well.
Looks like we will have to come back again and try that next time.
Thank you for looking after us Jimmy and Ann.
Unbelievable great food, Unbelievable the best service I've ever had, 3 times now I've been here over 4 years ever time we come to Melbourne.
We were in the best room in the restaurant, just brilliant 👏 👌
Great food. Not too sweet or salty. Balance of flavour was perfect. Seafood wasn’t over cooked. Star of the evening definitely Peking duck.
Went here for lunch with colleagues to celebrate some wins. Was really impressed with the banquet.
They were very accommodating for our dietary requirements as my mum wouldn't eat fish and pork and duck. So we had the banquet menu and had some really good food. The service was really good as well.
The peking duck was amazing!! Would definitely visit again if I come to Melbourne👍👍
Ann is a Superstar, leading a fantastic team serving up the best Chinese food in Melbourne. Leans toward more of a western style which is not everyone's preference but certainly is ours and no one does it better than the team at Bamboo House.
Good Cantonese food in a upscaled environment.
Recommend going for the garlic king prawns and steamed fish. Last but not least, we really like their Peking duck
