Bamboo House: Your Go-To Spot for Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Escondido

From the moment you walk in, your dining experience begins. There are two aquariums with beautiful goldfish in them. The decor is vintage and reminiscent of Chinese restaurants from my youth in New York City. The people working here are warm and friendly. The menu offers both Mandarin and Cantonese style Chinese food. There is something for everyone on this well-thought-out menu Including vegetarian and American options. The two standouts for me were the sizzling rice jubilee and the best cream cheese wontons I've ever had. We spoke with the owner on the way out. He told us the place has been there for 37 years and it's family owned. We will be regulars here. It was a very enjoyable dining experience. By the way, another reviewer stated "CANTONESE AND MANDARIN FOOD!!!! Not Chinese!" Cantonese and Mandarin ARE both types of Chinese food.

Hands down vest Chinese in Escondido and so far in the whole county. Only Chinese I know that's as good or better is Ho'Shun in New Orleans garden district. Service, food, ambiance here is amazing. A beautiful sanctuary for a great meal

The food is fantastic, especially the lunch specials which are a good amount of food for the price. Atmosphere is great! Service is a little slow but not a big deal, very nice staff. Would recommend the mandarin chicken!

I love it The food is delicious and fresh. They speak Spanish, English, and Chinese. They are very friendly, and the decor is beautiful. I highly recommend

I’m so impressed with their authentic Chinese cuisine! The owner is so nice and we got a free dish!

First time coming here but wont be last. Food was amazing, servers were very attentive and polite, and the vibe was relaxing. The price for the combo plate is amazing considering everything you get. We did not dislike anything we ordered but the Orange chicken, chow mein and hot sour soup were the top notch! Cant wait to visit again and try other items.

From the moment you walk in, your hit with amazing smells and a chill vibe. The staff is friendly and attentive, not to mention the food came out fast! The menu is pages and pages, with so many great options! perfect for a group meal AND for individual plates. They SERIOUSLY have so many options for their combination plates! I got the spicy orange chicken, it was amazing! My friend got the peapod w/chicken. Their noodles are chewy perfection, and the variety of taste and textures was perfect. Can't wait to go back!

Great service, great food, great overall experience. From the moment I walked in the door I was given an exceptional level of service. All staff members were very friendly. My table was attended to perfectly, drinks were refilled consistently, and all requests were tended to in a timely manner. The food just bolstered this experience even further. Started with the Cream Cheese Wontons and BBQ Pork, both of which had amazing flavor. The wontons were crunchy with a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The BBQ Pork was one of the best Char Siu style pork dishes I've had. I would keep coming back just to enjoy this dish again and again. My entree was the Mandarin pork lunch special which provided a plentiful amount of food and left me feeling full and satisfied. The soup to start was amazing by itself. That could definitely be worth a return trip by itself. The Mandarin pork and vegetables with abundant sides of fried rice, lo mein noodles, fried wontons and an egg roll presented a variety of great flavors, amazing textures, and one of the best Chinese food experiences I've ever had. Honestly, there are a lot of places to enjoy Chinese food in Escondido, but this one should definitely be towards the top of any and everybody's list with such great, attentive service and food that is nothing short of amazing! Please try the place out! Highly recommend!
