If the lady is screaming on the phone and at the cooks in the back, your take out order is placed in a liquor box from the shop next door and not in a bag, the receipts are indecipherable - you know the food it going to be FIRE!!! amazing spot - like no other!!!

Best dumplings I’ve had in NJ. Clearly homemade and delicious every time.

I was looking online for a Chinese food place with great reviews when I first heard of Bamboo House. It’s only been a few times that I’ve been able to stop in since I don’t live close, but whenever I’m in Ridgewood, I like to get something to eat here. It’s tough to find a truly great Chinese restaurant & this place lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the dishes are saucy & flavorful & fresh. What really seals the deal for me though is the service; they are kind & friendly in a warm, sincere way. Bamboo House has been in business for a long time, for good reason. 10/10

Highly recommend this local gem! Food is excellent, definitely the best take-out Chinese food in the area by far. Unlike other options, it is very flavorful without being loaded with salt. Pork fried rice especially stood out, delicious! Everything made from scratch, so they are very confident in the ingredients if you have any allergies/dietary restrictions just ask. Order was ready right on time, very neatly and conscientiously packaged. Everything was nice and hot even after the drive home. Owner is very nice and customers get VIP treatment. Street parking right in front, but on a busy Friday night I had no problem briefly parking in the bank lot just next door. Looking forward to returning and trying more things from the menu!

The single greatest Chinese restaurant in Bergen County, and probably the country. Sherry has a heart of gold. The food is made with love and the freshest ingredients. Sherry takes pride in what she does and she is family. She only asks for kindness and patience in return. Other places in the area buy their accolades - not Bamboo House. Give her your business!

The best Chinese food I’ve had in the area. It was my time trying it after living here for over 20Y and only sad that I didn’t come here earlier. Chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce and the angel hair noodle dish were legendary. Sherry was the best too! So kind and hospitable :)

Great Chinese spot! My family and I would go often a few years back. You can sit inside, but there is only about one table. Mainly a take out spot and the food is absolutely delicious. The dumplings are some of the best and freshest you will get. I actually found out about this place via a review when I wanted a ginger chicken soup when I was sick. Highly recommend.
