A massive tree trunk carved into a mountain tableau complete with wild horses stands guard in the foyer to let you know that this Chinese restaurant, sibling of Joey Chiu Greenspring Inn, has intentions. Yes, it's located in an ugly strip mall, but inside all is pleasantly attired in soothing pinks and grays.

More importantly, the seafood specialties are worth seeking out. Sometimes you'll find treasures like periwinkles and soft-shell crabs on the menu, at their best simply prepared, say, stir-fried with asparagus or crisply fried. And hearty-looking specimens from the lobster tank are always available to be prepared as you like -- Cantonese, say, or fiery Szechuan-style. The highlight, however, is exactingly fresh whole rockfish, perfectly steamed and served in your choice of sauce; we recommend the zingy black bean. Sushi is also available.

  • What good Chinese is there in Baltimore? ...

    Review rating : 2out of 5   wreeling21 - 11/15/2009

    ... let's face it none! Chinese food in the Baltimore is only "POOR to FAIR" at best -- THERE ARE NO GOOD CHINESE RESTAURANTS AND NO ACTUAL CHEFS TRAINED IN ANY CULINARY COLLEGE IN CHINA HERE EITHER. This is a Chinese Mom & Pop's idea of what Americans like to eat and don't know any better so it's passable to the uninformed as good.

      Joey no longer owns this restaurant..And that's shame. The new Owners have changed enough that the food no longer tastes like Joey's. WHAT A SHAME.
  • No doubt about it!

    We have been going to the Bamboo House almost from the day it opened and have compared it with all of the other restaurants around North Baltimore and believe it is consistantly the best! Joey and his wife,Connie. are there all of the time so it runs like clockwork. If you don't think it is the best I will give you your money back. Bill

    One of the few palces left where you can order anything on the menu and you know it will be good. That goes for plain american food as well. Has great oysters, chilean sea bass, crab cakes, aswell as generous and fresh sushi and rolls. JOey and Connie (the owners) are like family if they get to know you. Get to know them, you'll love it.
