Bamboo House - Northern Chinese Fine Dining Cuisine in Melbourne CBD (Chinatown) reviews
68 We were looking for a Chinese restaurant, so did our homework as there are so many to chose from. Unfortunately we found the menu fairly limited and quite expensive compared to other meals we’ve eaten during our stay in Melbourne. The two dishes we ordered (chicken with vegetables and chicken with bell (green) peppers) were not only ‘beige’ to the eye but also on the tastebuds. I resorted to using the soy sauce on the table to add some much needed flavour! Also, although I love garlic there was way too much (in slices) mixed in with the meals.
Unfortunately there was an issue with the bill as the price for ‘fried’ rice was on the line above, not where you would expect to see it. When we queried it, we were facetiously asked if we thought it was free? No we thought it was $3 along with the steamed rice, as that appeared to be the price for both of them as per the way the menu is printed. Along with two glasses of wine the total cost was $100; this was not a $100 meal in our opinion.
First time at this restaurant with my hubby. The staffs were friendly, food was great and of good price. Will definitely go again.
First time to this restaurant and the Peking Duck is well prepared. Egg plant is well cooked as mixture of some vinegar make the taste so good. Lamb rack is nice as outside crispy but inside is soft, beef meat is juicy and tender. Well recommended.
Food excellent and I'd rate it better than Flower Drum, service was great such that they adjusted speed and efficiency to match, some good wines available.
First time dining there. We ordered one of the banquets for our party of 4. Our friends lived in Hong Kong for years and were impressed as we were. Every dish was exceptionally delicious. The Peking duck was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Service was welcoming, proceed, efficient and gracious. One of the wait staff holds the door open for all guests leaving while also thanking them. That is rare to see but is such a hospitable gesture.
If you aren’t really familiar with Chinese cuisine, you’ll enjoy it.
If you know Chinese and Cantonese food, you may admire (mockingly) how they get business.
Three stars because our waiter was polite, professional and timely.
Will not return. Too sweet, and they served ketchup with the Sichuan duck we preordered. I have no words.
Excellent peeking duck, and the service is exceptional, Allen will look after you, along with the rest of the staff. A must try when looking for the perfect roast duck when in Melbourne.
