Bamboo House Austin

Alright for what it is, their orange chicken is hit or miss. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE NEARBY AVOID MIDTOWN COMMONS AT ALL COSTS!

Was worried about being ‘under dressed’ from the outside, inside was a different story. Inside seemed a lot more casual if you will. Kids area had a few video games and a bunch of scattered game pieces everywhere. We decided to get the order to go, inside seemed a little dated? (Christmas deco still up). Cashier/waiter seemed more interested in his phone than taking the order. Lots of things just seem thrown around? Including an empty large water tank. Food was large for a good price (no sides only full orders). $13 for an order of FRIED rice and chicken.. could not have been more disappointed. Rice is basic white rice with absolutely no flavor. Was hoping the soy would help but it only made it edible. Chicken taste like weird rubber sautéed on some oil. Last photo is to show how much actually got ate between 3 people. Outside was dirty and everything was thrown around like a storm had just went through.Decided not to try anything else today. Maybe I’ll try again next time!

Excellent food.

So I'm giving this four stars but this is not my preferred style of Chinese food. I always order the fried rice as a sort of litmus test. The fried rice at Bamboo House is not fried but it is also Not soggy. There is no "wok hei" in this dish. It is also under seasoned but chili oil and soy sauce fix that. Same with the egg drop soup. Cashew chicken was killer.
