Bamboo House - Rochester

With a wide variety of options, we have probably ordered take-out from this restaurant around 100 times and have never encountered a single issue. They consistently accommodate our vegan requests. They also offer Thai cuisine. While the Lo Mein noodles aren't vegan, you can substitute them with other noodle options. Some of our go-to favorites include the vegan Evil Jungle dish (which I don’t think is listed on the menu), fresh veggie spring rolls, sesame tofu, crispy tofu, veggie fried rice without egg, and veggie chow fun.

This restaurant offers a variety of vegan options and vegetable dishes, but I was disappointed with the flavors of the two meals we ordered. After eating here, our stomachs felt off due to the excessive oil in the food. It would greatly benefit from fresher ingredients, more seasoning, and less oil. It feels like a typical American Chinese restaurant.

A must-try appetizer is their hot and spicy chicken wings, which feature a unique honey-glazed sauce that is both sweet and spicy! During our visits, we ordered several dishes, all expertly prepared: the Chinese-style crispy chicken was moist with a nice crispy skin, and the family-style tofu had just the right level of spiciness. The vegetables were stir-fried to perfection, maintaining their crispness, and the tofu was deep-fried just right. The pan-fried dumplings were fresh and delicious, accompanied by a dipping sauce that perfectly complemented them. On our third visit, we tried the Cantonese-style Chow Mein, and it was incredible! During our fourth visit, we enjoyed lunch specials that included tofu family style, sesame chicken, and hot and sour soup—all very tasty. The fifth visit included a jumbo shrimp lunch special with snow pea pods that was excellent, but the jumbo shrimp with Szechuan sauce unfortunately fell short and was quite bland; this inconsistency among their cooks needs to be addressed. On our sixth visit, things were fantastic! We ordered the Subgum Cantonese crispy noodles, one of their signature dishes, and our server Fang provided excellent service. We also ordered Chen Dao Chicken and Scallops with Hunan sauce, which were both amazing. The light batter was perfect, and the sauces paired well with all the ingredients. The Beef with Broccoli and Shrimp with Broccoli were again fantastic, as was the Hot and Sour Soup. The Beef Chow Fun had that essential 'wok hei' flavor! We even requested Hunan sauce for our Beef with Snow Peas, and it turned out fantastic! Lastly, the Egg Drop and Hot Sour Soups had wonderful flavors, and the Moo Gai Pan was delicious with tender slices of chicken. Thank you, Bamboo House! Keep up the great work!
