Probably on my list of Chinese restaurants in Modesto. I got the Garlic Chicken combination plate and boy was it hot when I first tried tasting it. I had to wait 10-15 mins until it cooled down. That's how you know the food here is fresh when it's steaming. The garlic chicken itself was EXTREMELY CRUNCHY (which I loved) and the chow mein complimented it nicely. read more

Bamboo House - Garlic Chicken with Chow Mein & Egg Roll - Chinese Near Me - Salida, California

This is the complete embodiment of a hole in the way. It seems this establishment hasn't switched over from COVID protocols as the seating is blocked off, random boxes are located throughout restaurant and, of course, ordering through a plastic screen. The food was ready pretty quick and it was fresh, but I couldn't tell you what it tasted like. The can soda was the most memorable part of the meal. read more

The service was really good. A really sweet elderly man took our order. The ambiance is just what you expect from a takeout Chinese shop. There technically is a couple of small tables suitable for two people you could sit at but the primary clientele is takeout business. The smells are amazing! The food did not disappoint either! read more

This is a take out only establishment. Yes, it is a hole in the wall. If you are looking to support the OG cooks and families, this is service you get from cooks who know how to make the foods fresh. We ordered the corn soups, Family Dinner B, two Combo plates, and three orders of Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. The wings were fresh, spicy and delicious. The best combo plate is the orange chicken with noddles. My son loved the broccoli beef with fried rice combo plate too. The corn soup was "mid" as my son would say. I would drive from Sacramento just to hit up this place again. This place is a tasteful and would definitely keep supporting the OG cooks. read more

Food is yummy and they give you large portions. Pick up is fast- usually 15 minutes when calling ahead. Restaurant is small- they do have a few chairs but location is mostly pick up orders. read more

I have tried this place about 4 times in the last year and each time the food is 5/5. It is a total hole in the wall, but the reviews were pretty accurate. Their food is on point and they are pretty consistent with the deliciousness and quality. This is my new goto place whenever I get a craving for Chinese food. read more

HEADLINE Exactly what I expect my Chinese food to look and taste like. And it's a good thing! THE GOOD - Fried Rice Chicken/Shrimp (4/5) - - No frills, just we'll executed and good. - - Could use more peas/carrots imo tho - Orange Chicken (5/5) - - Crispy, sticky, orange...y - Lemon Chicken (4/5) - - expected the Lemon Chicken to be like Orange Chicken but it was still really good. - - But..... But... It would be 5/5 if it was made like the orange chicken - Kung Pao (4.5/5) - - really good, it could be spicier though. - Honey Walnut Prawns (5/5) - - on par with any restaurant I've had. Better than Panda imo. - Customer service was great! - - made order through the phone - - the nice lady at the front made sure we had enough fortunes cookies Side note: what's the deal with fortunes cookies nowadays!?! They're not even fortunes! Hahah THE BAD - No dine in as noted by another reviewer. - - not a big deal to me. But seems like they keep the chairs on top of the tables and it's not an option. THE UGLY - Nada IMPORTANT NOTE: They are genius and cut holes in the corners of the takeout to assure that the crispy chickens don't get soggy. Very smart. read more

Ordered the orange chicken combination plate with chicken chow mein. Both were delicious, best chow mein we've had. It also came with an egg roll and hot and sour soup, these were both okay and I would probably pass on these the next time we order. My husband ordered the beef and broccoli which was very good, the beef was tender and the broccoli was cooked really well. We also ordered the pot stickers which were good, but we weren't a fan of the sauce that came with the pot stickers. We will definitely order again, but will probably just stick with ordering some of the meat entrees along with the chicken chow mein. read more

Fried rice is the best I've had!!! I bought the chicken fried rice and salt & pepper chicken, it was nice a crispy!!!

Garlic Chicken good. Chicken chow mein had no flavor, thick noodles, hardly any veggies and chicken! Prices are higher than posted. Don't recommend read more

After living in the area for 5+ years I finally decided to try this place. I got there just after 11am, first customer. I was promptly greeted and seated. I decided on the Combo Mongolian Beef & Chicken Chow Mein. Started off with a free cup of hot & sour soup, temperature and and very tasty, just enough spice of heat. From where I was sitting I could see the cook. Every thing I order was made to order. Chicken Chow Mein hot right out of the wok, as with the Mongolian Beef. Was also given (1) veggie egg roll, also hot. I would definitely be back. I should have visited sooner. read more

Very good and great portion size... no dine in but good food overall .. will consider if I am in the area again soon!! Lady at front was rude and nice lmao I respect it. read more

I've been to this restaurant twice in six weeks. The food is cooked to order and you get it piping hot. The portions are generous which is wonderful. What I like best is the walnut shrimp. The shrimps are big and cooked perfectly. I'll come back here for that. The calamari and salt and pepper pork are okay though nothing extraordinary. The other things I tried and don't care for are the chicken in foil and chicken with cashew combo meal. If you know which ones are delish, this is a pretty good restaurant with very reasonable prices. The frontliner guy is very gracious and polite. read more

Bamboo House - Garlic chicken combo - Chinese Near Me - Salida, California

We haven't had Chinese food in a long time because so many restaurants use MSG, so I called beforehand and confirmed that I could request all my items MSG free. Based on the reviews it seemed like this place might be a crap shoot, however I am so glad that I did - it was FANTASTIC! I am super picky eater with an intense palate and I felt everything we ordered was high quality, even the oils that they cooked with had no adverse affects. We ordered Honey Walnut Prawns (perfect, even day 2!), Orange Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, Chinese Chicken Salad, and Cream Cheese Wontons appetizers. There was a hefty portion of everything that gave us plenty of leftovers - AND even better we got everything, with tip for less than $45! Can't wait to try more of the menu items recommended by others! read more

The lady at the register is rude. And the food quality is horrible. The lady gives me receipt to sign and points to the tip and says " tip here ". Says it twice. Like I don't know. Tipping is an option and it depends on service. Her service isn't tip worthy. read more

Ordered small party tray size chicken chow menu ,chicken fried rice and Mongolian spicy chicken The Mongolian chicken was full of onion ,every snore size all you get is onion and said spicy and it sweet. Chicken fried rice did not have meat just whole bunch of eggs Chow Mein did not have meat as expected Cheapest in town ,not enough meat in dishes . Good quantity . read more

Finally gave this place a try and it did not disappoint. We had the almond chicken, chicken chow mein, orange chicken and a side of the hot & sour soup. Everything was hot and delicious and the man that took our order (who I presume is the owner) was super nice. Only downfall is that it's take-out only. We had to find a spot with shade to park out car and eat. read more

Worst Chinese food I've had in a long time.. should have known better when they didn't even have hot mustard. Their sweet and sour chicken tasted like fish. Definitely will not be ordering from them again I would have given them no stars but I wasn't given that choice read more

I ordered and paid for my to-go order online, easy and convenient. I liked this place before I had taken everything out of the bag! They had double bagged the containers, so none of the sauce spilled and made the bag messy. It was nice and hot when I got home. I ordered Egg Foo Young, and a combination Sweet & Sour Chicken plate, more than enough for 4 people. The chicken was not over cooked like most places around here. First place I actually liked the Egg Foo Young. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and friendly. I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant around Modesto and I found it! The 5 stare ratings for here are true. read more

By far the best Chinese food in the area! The food is on point, the beef is nice and tender and fresh, the chow mein is delicious, the Hong Kong pan fried noodles are excellent. Do not waste your time going to other Chinese restaurants, the food is not very flavorful I've been to over eight restaurants in Modesto and I cannot believe that this little restaurant in Salida is doing what they're supposed to do with Cantonese Chinese food! read more

Passed by this place on our way to Yosemite. Ordered 3 combinations and each one tasted really good! Great take-out place..

Food was ok ,service was good. I felt that the flavor was not even close to our fav Chinese restaurant that had closed.

Not bad. Will i be back... yeah. It's it my go to... no. Mongolian Beef was supposed to have some spice to it. None at all. Fried rice was a little mushy. Flavor was good! I wish the eggroll had meat in it. The lady working the register was nice. read more

We picked up, the lady at the counter was very pleasant and conversational. The food was great, both the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken were moist and not overcooked. The vegetables were still firm but not too crunchy, really done well. The sauces were not too sweet and I didn't get a headache, so no MSG! Looks like we found our new Chinese food place. read more

This place is actually really good The food is reasonably priced and the portions are huge . We ordered for 4 people and had plenty of extra. Food was delicious! Highly recommend read more

The food is good. Only togo orders only. I want to relax sit down and eat. Not here, so if you want to go out and sit down for lunch or dinner this isn't the place for you. read more

Love their Mongolian chicken! It's a guilty pleasure. A little less oil and it'd be a 5!! But it's still a solid 4.5.

Tasted worse than leftovers!! Chow fun noodles were old and soggy, garlic chicken was old and burnt! Not what I expected It's better not to serve someone if you cannot produce quality food, I will never go back! read more

This restaurant is one of the best i've ever had. They give you large portions of food, the service is quick, and pleasant, and although it's not really a sit-down style restaurant the ambiance is still great. It smells amazing has TV's to keep you entertained, and food is cooked quick and in the spot. Immaculate! read more

Just passing through town and wanted some Chinese takeout, looked at Yelp reviews and decided to give Bamboo House a try. Glad we did , the food was good and the staff couldn't have been nicer. So much food we will probably get three meals out of it. read more
