A basically empty crab rangoon
Arianna T.

It was ok, we got delivery, the crab rangoons were just sad. None of them had any crab meat in it, and they had the tiniest amount of filling; it was mostly just air. The egg rolls were actually very good. The fried dumplings were only pan seared on one side and steamed on the other side, they were the largest dumplings I've ever seen, they were good, not great, just had a huge chunk of meat in it-at least no air in this filling. The beef and broccoli was pretty good and the chicken fingers were good. Nothing we got would make us order again. The egg rolls were really good but not going to order again just for those.

This is a picture from 2018 I saved as a reminder not to frequent this place. I surmise the packer thought it was a good idea to leave it there because how could he miss it? It was the first thing I saw when I opened the container. @$$#o|e.

I've been here several times for lunch, never for supper. While the food here is pretty average to slightly above, what sets it apart locally is portion size. The portion size is above average and since prices here are competitive, this makes Bamboo House a good value. While the staff here may not be the most attentive they seemed friendly and willing to help one's individual dining needs. As far as atmosphere is concerned this place is strictly 70's strip-mall in decor. Pretty dark in the windowless dining area as well. Keno is available to play and they have a full bar out front in the windowed portion of the restaurant. Odd. Summation: If you happen to be in the area and are real hungry and like a good value then drop by. But don't drive out of your way for this average Chinese restaurant.

What happened to this place? Used to be a place you could get decent Chinese food. It's no longer that. Horrible. Worst I've had.

I am so psyched I actually found a good Chinese restaurant in the Chicopee/Holyoke area. Beef with…read moreBroccoli was great. Broccoli and carrots fresh and crisp. Beef was delicious as was the sauce. Won Ton soup was excellent too. Great broth and won tons were tasty. Even the white rice was well cooked, fresh tasting and not stuck together as you're dishing it out. First Chinese restaurant I have tried in area I actually will be ordering from again. Highly recommended.

It has been eight years since my last yelp review, and I had been enjoying my retirement. Until I…read moreordered from this place, that is. I hate to do it, but here goes... I ordered the "beef stick" -combo. I was greeted by two small, burnt, and suspiciously shaped beef teriyaki skewers, atop a pile of shockingly fluorescent yellow pork fried rice. Had I spilled any of this rice on myself, I could have worked as a flagger at the nearest construction site. The pork chunks, on the other hand, were whiter than a 1970's mustache at a disco club. One chunk looked so much like chewed bubble gum I removed it for inspection to discover it was "just" gristle, thank god. There were also two chicken fingers, clearly fried in oil dating from the Nixon -era. The chicken itself was chewy and sinewy. The only duck sauce came in packets, and it tasted like high viscosity, salty water -- who uses duck sauce packets these days anyway? But that's not what I'm here to tell you about; I'm here to tell you about what happened ten minutes later. My stomach became a veritable symphony of horrors. The sounds were akin to a butter knife in a sink disposal. I knew what was coming, and come it did. I spent the next few hours in a type of suffering I wouldn't wish on an enemy as the old, greasy, fluorescent food rained hatred down upon my stomach. I finally retreated to the couch, my body weakened and my soul defeated. Later that night, due in equal parts to my low IQ and my short memory, I decided to eat some of the pork fried rice leftovers. After all, there's no way this stuff really made me sick. It *had* to be a coincidence. Thus began my most recent self-education, for within minutes, I was once again in the bathroom praying to every deity I could think of. The things I saw that night - the things I smelled that night - will haunt my nightmares for an eternity. I'll cut to the chase: don't eat anything that looks like the food from this place. Chicken fingers shouldn't be fried in anything resembling motor oil, pork shouldn't be colorless fat globs, and rice shouldn't be the color of a school bus. I regret giving a one star review for a local business, but my stomach insists. May god have mercy upon your soul.

Tonight, I found myself home alone and hungry, and after seeing so many positive reviews, I decided to give them another chance. The staff were very friendly, but I noticed the same unusual smell I remembered from years ago. I ordered Combo A: General Tso's Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Crab Rangoon. The pork fried rice was underwhelming. The pork was tough, and the flavor seemed to be little more than soy sauce. It was mostly rice with a few onion slices and pieces of pork. The General Tso's Chicken was disappointing as well. There was very little actual chicken and a lot of batter. The sauce was brown in color and tasted nothing like the General Tso's sauce I've had elsewhere. It lacked flavor, and aside from a single piece of pepper, there were no vegetables. The Crab Rangoon was okay. The texture was different from what I'm used to, but it was edible. Overall, I found it to be an $18.75 meal that was largely inedible. While I appreciate the friendly service, the food simply wasn't for me, and unfortunately my second visit didn't change my opinion.
