Bamboo House - Ridgewood, NJ

We always go to this little place when it comes to Chinese food dining.  Dining? Well, it’s really a takeout joint with a few tables in it, but the food is good at the tables, can’t say I have ever ordered take out from here.
We start off with duck sauce and "Chinese chips" if you will, I have no idea what the fried deliciousness's are called.  The homemade duck sauce is awesome, the more Sherry brings the more I eat.
On to the pork and scallion dumplings, good god these are good.  In fact they are all good, whatever dumplings she has that night.  A light ginger soy sauce gives them just the right amount of bite. 
Next are the homemade egg rolls, larger than you average take out place and way tastier.  Unfortunately, the past few time they have been on the greasy side.
My wife has her staple, shrimp with garlic sauce, which she always says is the best around.  I, tonight, opt for the Lovers Star - chicken and steak, battered and deep fried with straw mushrooms, green peppers and baby corn in a sweet but tangy brown sauce.  It was quite tasty and the chicken and steak were crispy goodness, even under the sauce.  Normally a dish like this tend to make the fried part becomes a soggy, pasty mess, but not here.  $44.00 before tip may seem a little high for eat in takeout Chinese food, but you leave very full with half your meal in tow.  I would recommend this place to anyone for a quick dine in takeout Chinese food joint, even if there are only 3 tables.
