Bamboo-House Chinese Food - Calgary, Alberta

Used to get Chinese food from here 35 years ago. Moved back and thought I would try it again, they still make great Chinese food. I would definitely recommend. I was pleasantly surprised.

Did a large catering order for Mother’s Day for a group of 30 …process was easy and food was served fresh and hot and in large aluminum pans. Lots of flexibility with 3 sizes of any dish on menu. Communication with Hunter and staff was great and I got lots ... of compliments on my choice of vendor… try it you won’t regret it …. Would do again in a heartbeat Read more

This is my 2nd time ordering from here. 1st time I found the food incredibly greasy. I was spitting out mouthfuls of oils which were in the food. I thought I would give them another try a yr later to see of they had changed. Upon opening my purchase I saw A ... LOT of grease on the outside of the bag, which led me to believe my order was heavily laddened with oil. Wor wonton soup was good, not the best I've had. I ordered standard Shanghai Noodles which should be a lower price then the SN dishes that come with meat or vegetables. I found $15 for some noodles and spices to be a heavy price. There is no tier for the dishes. You pay the same price for plain, or with meat or vegetables. The Shrimp fried rice was good, the shrimp were not over cooked. For the Cantonese Chow mein I found the noodles to be incredibly oily, vegetables cooked well prawns cooked perfect. After a few hrs the tub which the Sweet and Sour spare ribs came in had very thick white grease which hardened into the leftovers. Very unpleasant. I did not get a sweet and sour flavour from the dish. The lemon Sui Gai was a bit greasy, cooked well, lemon sauce was OK. Mixed vegetables with shrimp was good, a bit heavy on the cornstarch. Ginger beef was OK, again very oily. This would be a good place to go if not as much oil was used in cooking, they rendered the fat off the meat, and had tier pricing for dishes which have optional add ons. For the price I paid, I could have gone to a casual fine dining. I did not want to eat most of the dishes I bought. I do not think I will go here again. Sorry Bamboo House. GOOD LUCK Read more

Authentic and delicious. The only time this restaurant makes me cry is that they are not open 24/7. I have been enjoying western Chinese food for my whole life. This place is one of the best I've ever had. And they are so friendly and professional. Excellent. I don't have ... any pictures of the food because I am a normal person who does not photograph their food. I've included some other photos that I took so you can believe I'm a real human. Or not. Up to you. Who even knows nowadays? At the end of the day, this place rules and I love their food so I'm writing this review. Read more

This is a great little neighbourhood gem! Tiny little restaurant in a strip mall, with pick up/take out/delivery only, but don't judge a book by its cover... I was so impressed by how consistently good all the dishes were..some of the best Chinese I've had in Calgary! I ordered for pickup, ... and it was ready in 15 minutes. It was all super fresh, hot and tasty, with generous portions. The lemon chicken, salt and pepper squid and ginger beef were all so crispy and crunchy. Nice tender veggies and beef in the beef and broccoli, and both the chow mein and chicken fried rice were very flavourful. Definitely recommend! Read more
