Had a sit in meal . Can’t fault the food was delicious, served promptly . Felt the menu was not as comprehensive as some other places and a tad pricey . Small bottle of still mineral water £3.50. Decor was ok but nothing special no real ambience . Chairs were a bit uncomfortable . Toilets were scruffy and felt like you walked through a large broom cupboard to get there with step ladders and stuff laying around not ideal . Staff were pleasant but dressed scruffy . Waiter had tracky bottoms on and the lady a body warmer and leather apron though they were polite . Felt more like a chinese cafe than a restaurant. Prob wouldn’t go back as...

Tonight was the 3rd time we ordered from The Bamboo House. All of them were excellent. Its not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. Quality and good quantity! Salt and pepper squid is lovely and quite generous. My son had the beef fried rice it was nice and moist..My only slight issue would be about 2 pound delivery charge. I understand for a small order you have to put a delivery charge but ours was almost 50 pounds. Having said that it is not going...

Really poor experience . Not eaten here before and not likely to return. Starters were fine but for a main I ordered the crispy chilli beef, this consisted of batter, sauce and no discernible beef.

Having moved back from Hong Kong not long ago I really crave authentic Chinese food. Bamboo House serves amazing authentic Northern Chinese food. The food is always super good, staff are very friendly and helpful. Menu also has lots of the usual favourites. The staff will help you choose authentic Chinese dishes also. Personal fave is the cumin lamb, have it every time, super good!

This Sichuan cuisine restaurant is definitely one of the top best in Colchester, the foods are definitely made with good quality. They also serve Chinese Takeaway which is only for British people I’ve never known they serve Chinese Takeaway until my friend told me so if you want proper Sichuan Cuisine you have to ask the waiter for the Chinese menu.

I ordered delivery from here and was very disappointed. I asked for crispy shredded beef from the specials and received a starter size quantity. It cost me £8.00 . I phoned the restaurant to see if I could receive some money back or an apology. All I got was silence and then a quote " not my problem " Very rude !!!!
