This. Crowded space but great food and selection of beers on tap that are harder to find locally. Tried it out for the first time last week.

It's been long enough that I wouldn't be able to say. But the lamb/greek burger, ordered rare, came rare, and was delicious.

Bamboo House is/was a hidden gem when it came to hand pulled noodles. I was in there three weeks ago and the lady said they're not making them anymore but don't have new menus yet.

Their dumplings are wonderful though.
