This is a pretty bougie restaurant, and not in a good way. Not very welcoming. When I first came in for a to go order. I was told it would be about 30 minutes. I only live a few minutes away. After 40 minutes I walked back to the restaurant because I hadn't received a phone call or text message and saw that my food had been ready and had been sitting on the table. I looked at the ticket receipt and my food had been ready 15 minutes ago. I ordered karage which was now cold. It did taste good but since it was cold, the texture was soggy. I also ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna that was pretty good. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little strange and also it was very dark inside like no lights on. Maybe a different location would have a better vibe. There's so many other food places to eat, I wouldn't make a special trip out this way just to try this place. But if you live nearby maybe give it a try. I might have went on an off day.

This is my all time favorite sushi place in Portland! It is the perfect place! You get great quality raw fish and the price is truly unbeatable. I’m originally from Portland but now only go back 1-2 times a year and I make sure every time I go home I visit this place. Whenever I have a special occasion I take my friends and family to this restaurant. I have always found the service to be great and the ambience impeccable. I love the interior of this restaurant, it has a casual Japanese feel and I love it! Every single item I’ve ever tried from here is amazing and honestly you can’t go wrong with anything you get! My personal favorite is the chiefs choice nigri set. That’s is amazing!

I went here for my birthday dinner and the food was great (as always!). They had just updated the menu and I loved the new drinks menu. The waitstaff was fantastic and informed me of what I could/couldn’t eat with my allergies. There was a shift change half way through and the new waitstaff was equally amazing. I also enjoyed the complimentary dessert. Thank you Maya, and other bamboo sushi staff! :)

I went to pick up sushi for a night in. I wish I had not ordered to go. Not that the food wasn’t good. It was GREAT. I just wished I had stayed in the restaurant to eat. It looked like so much fun.
I have eaten at the various Bamboo locations probably a total of about a dozen times. Service and wait time for food at this location is really bad. 3 of the food items we ordered tonight were not very good.
The chicken karaage was not crispy at all and was gooey and gummy, the green beans lacked flavor and needed salt (we didn’t finish them), and the sizzling hamachi (which we were told was medium rare but was fully well done and maybe even overcooked) was terrible.
We waited 15-20 minutes between each item from the sushi bar even though we ordered it all at once. We wanted to order more nigiri but there was no way we were going to attempt that with the wait times we experienced.
Water refills non existent. When we told our server (after they asked) that we didn’t like the hamachi sizzle she said “that’s too bad” instead of offering to take it off. We had to flag down our server for everything we needed.
I really like the Full Circle roll and some of their sashimi and nigiri but much of the menu is a miss for me.
There are way better sushi experiences for the price in Portland. Head over to BlueFin

Love the food here. Excellent sushi. The tuna sashimi was outstanding. Felt rushed and server forgot my wine. With improved service this would easily be a 5 star restaurant in every catergory. I will be back because the sushi is so great that I can overlook service. I suggest ordering menu items separately when your ready for the next one. The kitchen is super fast. Thank you Bamboo! We will be back. ?
