Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Delicious Chinese food! The Jalapeño Chicken is a must! If you spend over $25, they'll throw in free Crab Rangoon as well!

What sets Bamboo House apart is their jalopino (i think thats how its spelled on the menu) chicken dish. Its Fried chicken chunks in a sweet sauce with onions jalapenos and maybe some black pepper. I am not sure exactly what the ingredients are but it is wonderful. Every time I get it I binge eat it until its gone and dont even regret it. Other than that they are very similar to your standard take out and delivery chinese joint. They have some tables inside but I dont see people eating at them very often.

Went here today because of all the good reviews.. Well the ones that left this place a good review must have never had good chinese food.. This place has horrible food.. We got the Sweet N Sour Shrimp which was soo over cooked it was like chewing rubber.. The fried dumplings were mostly dumplings and very doughy.. The crab Ragoon was very greasy and tasted like onion.. We were very disappointed and won't be going back here ever again.. Don't eat at the restaurant because the plastic forks are so cheap they bend and the only drinks they have are in a can..

If you've had Chinese food elsewhere (i.e. a major city like Chicago, LA, NY or even say Cinci) you've had way better. For Indy, it's a better than any buffet and most other places I've tried. And the bonus of delivery is huge. The food is meh. The egg drop soup was tasty, not too much salt (rare) but a tad gelatinous for my taste. The vegetable fried rice was bland, but not overcooked and the veggies were still crunchy which was nice. The sesame chicken was way too sweet, but a HUGE portion. The Egg Foo Young patties were actually quit good, but the brown sauce wasn't very thick and the had a strange bullion taste to it. Different, not terrible. They accidentally (?) threw in an order of rangoon and that was lucky, I know not to order it in the future. Very little crab creme and lots of breading which was flakey but undercooked. Finally, the chicken wings were great. Nothing chinese about them, but they were huge and breaded perfectly and a good value. Not #1 happiness but not terrible either. Will do in a pinch.

We tried Bamboo House tonight after 7+ neighbors recommended it on a neighborhood thread. Did not disappoint! Generous portions put it lightly- we did not even get halfway through our food but loved the variety we ordered regardless. Additionally, the woman on the phone was so charming she deserves an award. This is DEFINITELY our new go-to!

I didn't enjoy the hot and sour soup-the flavor was a bit off. Nor the egg roll. But I loved the vegetable moo shu. The chicken curry is also pretty good. I don't think I would eat inside here, nor have I ever seen another patron inside the restaurant. I have only used it as a takeout or delivery place. I hope that they redo their hot and sour soup, though, since that is usually my favorite soup. It was hard to rate this place, since egg rolls and soup are important for a Chinese restaurant, but so far, the main dishes have been pretty good for a "takeout" place. I'll probably continue to order here on occasion, but it isn't top on my list of places.

If you suddenly get an craving for Chinese food on a Sunday night, but don't want to get out of your pajama pants, contact Bamboo House for take out. Quite honestly, I had no idea this place even existed until this happened last night. It's located in next to the Marsh on Keystone /52nd in a strip mall. You can't really tell if they're open until you're upon it, but the good word is out, because they were hustling and the Dragon Wagon (delivery truck) was making its rounds. Fourty-five minute wait? It might have had something to do with the Colts game, who knows, I chose to go casual in person. I knew what I wanted, just not what it was called, so it was necessary to show a picture of something I ordered in Chicago, and they quickly duplicated the order and told me it was Singapore chow mei fun ( yireservation.com/recipe… ). I wouldn't suggest ordering anything based upon their faded menu signs that made everything look gray. They were efficient and friendly, even giving us a free Crab Rangoon for spending over $20. Just another reason to love living in So Bro!

Literally just finished eating delivery from here. I couldn't find a menu online, so I called and sort of BS'd an order (General Tso's, rice, crab rangoon, and an egg roll). It was about $12 for all of that and I was stuffed before I got halfway through what they brought. The Tso's and rice was enough for two healthy people, there were 5 or 6 crab rangoon pastries, the egg roll was a good size, and it all came with soy sauce, duck sauce, sweet n' sour, and a fortune cookie. It also got here a lot quicker than expected. Now, in saying all that, I was originally going to give this a 3 star rating because 1) No menu online (they confirmed that the site was down when I called), 2) They weren't friendly AT ALL, and 3) Food quality was average (but not bad). I went ahead with 4 stars because of the amazing portions for the price, the speed, and the fact they brought me a full menu. For affordable delivery, I definitely recommend.

In the Broad Ripple/SoBro/Meridian-Kessler, King Dragon is the Chinese takeout of choice. But, as as resident of SoBro, I feel Bamboo House maintains the same quality of food, with the added bonus of delivery! The menu is standard, and this is NOT a bad thing. It has everything you would want. For you vegetarian consumers, all dishes can be made with tofu to replace the primary meat/protein listed on the menu. All the classics taste just as you want them too. The subtlety of the chow mei fun, the sweet and spiciness of the General Tso's, and the tanginess of the orange all contain the same taste bud stimulation you've always turned to. Bamboo house wins out for me for two reasons. Reason one is location. Located at 52nd and Keystone, its close, easy to access, and sits in a large parking lot. Complete convenience. And, if ease of pickup is still too much, they deliver! At this point, its hard NOT to want to order! Reason two is their flexibility in the menu. I can fully enjoy so many flavors and dishes that I previously couldn't, due to my animal-free diet. So, once you get used to the ease of ordering and fully open menu, you will start eating this far too much. I'm sorry if I am responsible for a lighter wallet and larger waist line.

5 stars for exceeding expectations for Chinese take-out! Placing the order by phone was easy. Delivery was estimated to take 45 minutes and arrived in 25! And the crab rangoons, pork dish, beef dish and short ribs we got were delicious with good quality meats and veggies. Will be ordering again in the future!

This is our favorite Chinese place in Indy. It's not exactly for the food quality but for the great service. They are the only non pizza place that will actually deliver to us! Not even all pizza places will for some reason. They are always fast and consistent. As for the food it's the standard Chinese take out with no frills but sometimes that's what we are in the mood for. Actually probably more than we should. I usually go with the hot and sour soup and my husband will get generals or beef lo mein. The portions are huge. We always have enough for another full meal.
(4)Andrew H.
The food is consistent and tasty, and the prices are good. For $15 You can get enough General Tso's, rice, and dumplings for 4 meals.
(3)Christopher N.
Pretty standard fare for Chinese food. The sesame chicken is tasty, and preferred over their Tso's, which is different than normal for me. Crab Rangoon is a solid choice here.

So happy to have found a decent Chinese restaurant that delivers to my house! The pork egg rolls are very good. I was also very happy with my entree: the special crispy shrimp. At first I thought the price seemed a bit high, but when I consider that there is enough food here for 2 meals and a snack I can justify paying a little more than I expected. I have not been to this place, but the phone service as well as the delivery service were great. Everyone was polite. It took almost 50 minutes from the time I called to the moment the food arrived; HOWEVER, I called at 6 PM on a weeknight on a chilly evening so I imagine that's a fairly busy time. I am not sure the web address on yelp is correct. I found the menu and phone number here: bamboohouseindianapolis.…

Hey, Bamboo House. Yeah I gave you a 3 out of 5 stars, and let me tell you why: Pepsi Products instead of Coke Products. Nobody wants Pepsi, ever. I'm a fan of your food, believe me, but I don't want to wash it down with a Dr. Pepper instead of a cool, refreshing Coca-Cola Classic. Seriously, get on the ball. Is Coke more expensive than Pepsi? Yeah, probably, considering nobody likes it. Would rate higher, except for this one point.

Quality take out, friendly service!

So...I was going to go to lunch with my daughter today but since the side streets in Broad Ripple don't get plowed, I was concerned about getting my car out...and back. It is a good thing that I work from home :-) Since I didn't want to venture out...I decided to order chinese food delivered. For orders of $10+, free delivery - yay!!! I ordered a quart of the Hot & Sour Soup (very good), a pint of the Egg Drop soup (ok), and the Steamed Chicken & Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables (good but not much shrimp). The guy that delivered the food was pleasant and even included a 2011 scroll calendar with my order. I'm set for the weekend! Although I am going to venture out of my house tomorrow to do some urban hiking on the towpath :-)

My favorite place in the area to grab Chinese take out. Best crab rangoon in Indy--always crispy with lots of melt-y filling. Way better than the terrible crab rangoon at JS Garden across the street. Prices are reasonable--an order of crab rangoon and a spicy shrimp lunch special barely topped $8. This just isn't a place you want to eat in. There are usually boxes stacked in the dining room and it isn't particularly aesthetically appealing. Next time I go, I'm going to see if they can copy a Chinese dish from my hometown Chinese place. I'm betting they can! And that the crab rangoon will still be awesome!
(4)Sara P.
The food here is your average chinese food which is as expected. The service can really be hit or miss. I'd recommend getting delivery or carry-out. The inside is not very eat-in friendly. Price are decent.
(2)Kevin S.
Great stuff. Inexpensive, big portions, good food
(5)Susie D.
Excellent food and great service. Food is always delivered piping hot and fast. We have been ordering from Bamboo House for several years. Large portions. Will continue to order from Bamboo House.

Delish. Fast delivery.

Kind of a limited buffet, but for $5.20 (2007's price) (includes drink, but not tax) for lunch, it's a heck of a deal. No salad bar, but they did have jello, a couple different canned fruits (pineapple and fruit cocktail), and orange wedges. And the hot items that they had on the steam trays were more than acceptable; and I'd even say very good, considering the price. I got there shortly after the lunch rush, and just had the buffet, but the food wasn't old. And people kept coming in for carry-out. The limited buffet, with it's low-low price, makes it mainly a fill-up-cheap place. But, ordering off the menu gets you more variety and quality. Their extended hours are good if you are in the neighborhood, until 10pm weeknights, and 11pm Fri/Sat. Their red and green colored menu has a lot more items than standard walk-up Chinese restaurants. Lots of Szechuan style stuff on the menu. Monday through Thursday: 10:30 am to 10:00pm. Friday and Saturday: 10:30 am to 11:00pm. Sunday: 12:00 noon to 10:00pm.
