Bamboo House Chinese Food

TLDR: Wow! So much yum! 5/5 stars from me. We tried Bamboo House Calgary, for the first time tonight. I’m so impressed and so thrilled! Definitely recommend! They have a section where you can list allergens and dietary restrictions and they will call you if what you ordered can’t be altered. They say they make everything fresh to order, so they are able to accommodate people’s dietary needs for many items. I’m not gluten free but they have gluten free options and I think vegetarian options as well. We ordered one of the dinner for two options and it included: 2 spring rolls or 2 battered egg rolls. We didn’t want battered egg rolls, so we got the spring rolls. They were exactly how I like them. Crispy. Packed full of sprouts, cabbage, veggies, spices etc. Chicken chow mein- delicious. It’s the kind with crispy noodles that soften as the sauce blends in. Chicken fried rice- I didn’t wind up trying it. My stomach was getting full so quickly and I didn’t want to waste my tummy room on rice lol 😂 Sweet and sour spare ribs- these were a surprise front runner for me! I thought my husband would enjoy it and that I wouldn’t like it very much. But it was a really tasty brown sweet and sour sauce and the pork was such a good addition. Some protein that isn’t fried, to counteract some of the deep fried stuff Battered torpedo shrimp with red sweet and sour sauce. These were like sweet and sour chicken balls but with shrimp, so even better, imo. The batter was similar to chicken balls and the red sauce is the same. We really enjoyed it. This is what was in the meal for two. We also added on their weekly special- Salt and pepper squid. It was one of my favorites from tonight. The squid wasn’t rubbery at all. It wasn’t fishy. It was perfectly cooked. It wasn’t as spicy as I hoped it would be but it has amazing flavour to it, that makes up for it not being as spicy as I expected when they wrote hot/spicy beside it. I will definitely get this again!! I’ll ask to see if it can be made spicier, next time. We also got the ten wontons with egg noodles and soup on the side. But the soup wasn’t on the side. It was all in one container. But that didn’t really matter to me. I didn’t feel like broth so I just plucked a wonton out and put it on my plate. The noodles were cooked to just the right consistency. The meat inside the wonton wrapper was full of flavour and it is just such a soothing food. We also got 3 fortune cookies. They must have followed my allergy requests because I did not have any reactions from their food. And now we have a ton of leftovers yay!😁

Awesome gluten free options of ginger beef, ho fun noodles with beef and mushroom egg foo young.
