" This was my first visit and unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype I had built from others' accounts. The food we had was not bad but definitely not the best Korean I've had. The atmosphere felt a bit worn, and while I appreciate that the owner is doing it all herself, the service lagged a bit. We ordered dumplings and bibimbap, both of which were flavorful, but I expected a bit more depth. I'd consider trying again, as maybe it was an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible spot! This restaurant may not look like much from outside, but the food easily makes up for it. I enjoyed every bite of the beef bulgogi and found the accompanying sides truly delicious. The owner, who cooked our meal, was so charming and attentive. Yes, there were a couple of other patrons, but we felt like we had no pressure to leave quickly—not that we wanted to! If you’re looking for a casual yet tasty Korean meal, definitely check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This charming little place has made a lasting impression on me. I was skeptical at first because I've been to many Asian fusion restaurants that fall short, but Bamboo House is genuinely different. They serve wonderfully authentic Korean food that reflects the cook's talent. The atmosphere was quaint and felt welcoming. I can’t wait to come back, especially for the bibimbap and to enjoy the cozy environment once again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bamboo House is truly a hidden gem! The bowl of hot soup warmed my soul on a chilly day. My companion had the chicken bulgogi and loved it so much that he insisted on ordering a second serving. The price is right, especially given the quality and shelter of food. The owner is a delight, but expect a leisurely meal because she also takes on all the responsibilities in the restaurant. We always leave full and satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I entered Bamboo House, I wasn't expecting much due to the simple decor, but I was blown away by the flavorful dishes! The owner’s attention to detail shines in every bite, and the hospitality adds to the charm. My recommendation would be the bulgogi; it's cooked to perfection. Plus, the complimentary side dishes were refreshing. It’s been a hidden gem for so long—let’s hope it gets more well-deserved recognition! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere reminds me of home but the food steals the show! Every dish was an exploration of flavors and textures; I simply could not pick a favorite. The soup was rich and hearty, and the portions are very generous so you won't leave hungry! Our server was simply lovely, making sure we had everything we needed. The wait was reasonable and added to the anticipation of the meal. I will definitely return to Bamboo House! " (*Curated Review*)

" This family-run establishment from a local Korean owner serves food that feels like home. The spicy kimchi stew we ordered was precisely what I needed on a frosty day. The other dish we shared—a mixed platter of various meats—felt generous in size and flavor. If you get anything, get the banchan, as they're a lovely addition to the meal. Had a lovely evening, and I can’t wait to return to sample more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
