House of Bamboo takes pride in presenting the flavors of Southeast Asian cuisine 
using local ingredients and tasteful homegrown recipes. Our menu has a wide selection of dishes including vegan and vegetarian options. Additionally the spiciness of each dish can be customized to your liking.
This season we are bringing back a popular dish - Summer Rolls. These are freshly made using chopped lettuce, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, Asian spinach, mint leaves, and slices of grilled chicken rolled up in a translucent rice paper wrap and served with a homemade Vietnamese dipping sauce, delicious!
House of Bamboo provides catering for special occasions and our banquet room is available for private parties.
We are located at 163 E. 2nd Street, across from Woodstocks Pizza. Make sure to check us out on Yelp and Google or visit our website at www.chicohb.com

Thursday Night Market Applications & Information
Wed, 01/04/2012 - 2:58pm | by Nicole RomainWeekly, April 5th - September 27th, 2012~ 6-9pm on Broadway from 2nd to 5th 
Street
Farm-fresh produce, delicious food, arts and crafts, and live entertainment! Held weekly April through September from 6-9pm (rain or shine), the market is a street festival and certified farmers' market.
2012 Season Updates:
Vendors on Broadway between 3rd & 4th Street will be moving to the center of the street. Our objective in making this move is to improve customer circulation and re-engage downtown retailers on this block, a critical element to the success of the market and the vitality of downtown Chico as a whole. We request that our valuable vendor-partners who have become accustomed to occupying booth space on this block be flexible and open to the possibility of a location and/or booth configuration change. We recognize the new layout may pose challenges for staff and vendors, primarily during load-in and load-out times. Additionally, it may also affect access to power, proximity to vendors’ vehicles, and actual booth display for some. We appreciate your patience and flexibility during this transition as we are confident these changes will lead to a better overall market experience for our members and guests! A draft of the revised street layout can be found on our web site.
See the revised street layout!

Downtown Chico, a look back to 1987
Sun, 01/01/2012 - 4:43pm | by Nicole RomainDowntown - Chico's Oldest Shopping Center
This poem was taken from an archived Downtown Chico poster produced in 1987...25 years ago! The poster also touts, “There’s just no other shopping center with the flavor, the goods or the services of Downtown Chico.” This statement still holds true today!
