My family used to own this restaurant many decades ago when it was Piney Mountain. We sold it to the Chae family, who turned it into an amazing Korean restaurant. It looks like it's even better now, but I doubt that Steve Chae is still around. I will have to visit next time I'm in C'ville.Love!Daryl

I cannot express how awful our food was there. My husband spent 40.00 on take out that we couldn't even eat. Tonite my husband has been in the bathroom all night sick from eating beef and broccoli. The food was bad. I got sweet and sour pork and the meat was mushy. It was dyed so red made me think i was eating bloody meat. The egg rolls smelled bad so we didn't eat them "thank God". Even the fortune cookies were stale. NEVER again will we ever get food there.

High quality food, outside looks unassuming but you get a large portion for a low price. Owner is very friendly, she has a garden and I think some of veggie side dishes are home grown. Amazing secret spot! Great Korean food!!

This place has some of the best Asian food I’ve ever had, don’t let the exterior turn you away. 100% worth your time and money. Friendly people, generous and delicious portions.
Their Japchae was delicious and refreshing for a hot, summer-like day! Good portion with flavorful noodles, vegetables, meat. The drive was worth it. Thank you! I'll be back.

Wow! My mind has literally been blown! This was amazing. Ordered spicy soup and it was without question one of the very best Korean style beef soups I have ever had. This place is a must for anyone wanting super quality and amazing tasting food. Great prices and just all around amazing experience. Saving Charlottesville food scene is the bamboo house restaurant. If you have not been here you need to get here and now. Order in advance and always check for the hours. Thank you Bamboo House

Dont let the exterior or decor turn you away. As a Korean that has eaten Korean food his entire life, the Korean food is legit here. Huge portions for the price and way more authentic than the fancier looking places in downtown cville. This food tastes like the stuff my grandmother used to make when I was a kid. Definitely going back again.
