First time was great second time not so much. Gave my number for a table was told it should be no more than 20 minutes and that I would receive a text. I gave my number and even was looking to make sure it was the right number. That wasn’t a problem.After walking around for a bit I witnessed people pulling in to park and getting inside and getting tables. I was gonna go back in but decided not to. Another thing is I never received a texted saying that the table was ready for us.

Was in town for a music festival and was recommend this place and I have to say it was amazing! Our waiter, Reyes, did an amazing job at giving us some recommendations! The ramen was amazing and the sushi was some of the best sushi I had in a long time!

First, this was our 5th wedding anniversary dinner. We were recommended Bamboo on 2nd by some friends. We sat at the sushi counter. Jordan our waiter was great. That’s where the “great” ended. We ordered pork dumplings and tempura green beans. The green beans were ok but the sauce was not. The dumplings were dry and seemed like they were left over from the day before. Just not good. Our local Chinese place has better dumplings. The sushi was just not good. The rice was mush and the rolls had no flavor. One fried roll was ok. My wife spoke with the owners and they acted like they really didn’t care. They removed some items from our bill, but the waiter had to inform us of that. Not the owners. We will not be back here again.

I’ve never even eaten here, and I don’t plan to, after reading all the negative reviews. I don’t have the time or energy to deal with rude establishments.

Bamboo on 2nd in Birmingham is a fantastic choice for sushi enthusiasts looking for a top-notch dining experience. This chic, contemporary restaurant offers a fresh take on traditional sushi and Japanese cuisine with a twist of Korean flavors that make it stand out in the local culinary scene

In town just for the evening. There are so many great choices to pick from but I think I made the best choice possible. I went early because I was starving but I am glad I did. Definitely a popular spot because it filled up quickly. I wish I got her name but the blondish female bartender was great. Suggested some great sakes. I had sake, Pork belly and brussel sprouts, more pork belly on a skewer and some toro sashimi. All of it was 5 stars. I wish there was a place like this in my town. I have to come back in a few months. I will be stopping in again for sure.

Bamboo's momos are worth the trip, but everything we have had there is delicious. The Asian spicy ribs are the most tender you'll find, the ramen is great, the Thai salad is amazing (they should bottle the sauce), and the atmosphere and drinks are incredible as well. We have had most of the menu and are always happy with what's brought to the table.

Love coming to Bamboo on 2nd! The restaurant itself is gorgeous! Amazing sushi. We have gotten “the dragon” twice now. Holds 8-10 types of sushi best place for a date with my husband and perfect for my girls night out. Highly recommend! You know when the owners of the restaurant work there, it’s first class!!!!

While I was eager to order takeout after a long shift as a travel nurse, I felt overlooked and unwelcome at the restaurant. The lady at the bar seemed defensive and quick to dismiss my request, which left me feeling frustrated and unseen. Despite my genuine need for a quick meal, I left feeling like I didn't fit the restaurant's perceived clientele, as evidenced by the lack of smiles or courtesy from the staff.

The only problem with Bamboo is how popular it is -- it can be hard to get a table or a seat at the sushi bar. But it's worth the wait.
