Phenomenal food, incredible wait staff, and legit great atmosphere: well lit, not loud, good music, etc. I have Celiac disease and going to a sushi place where I could have EVERYTHING absolutely blew my mind. I'm going back here again and stuffing myself stupid each time. HASHTAG NO REGRETS

Exceptionally nice place, was surprised at the number of vegetarian options. Veggie tempura and wild mushrooms were damn good as appetizers. The green machine and avocado rolls were so refreshing. The dessert was super yummy too. Very friendly service. Will visit again when I am in that area.

The food was not very good. When I asked, I was informed that sushi roll was 60% imitation crab and the rest actual crab. But we can have real crab for $7.00 more. Then advertise that. Many great sushi restaurants have real crab. That is not crab. We ordered it anyway. It was dry, and without flavor.Sub par. Ordered Poke, not ce flavor, more avocado than tuna. But tasty.
We then ordered the garlic chicken and the chicken was dry. Dry. Maybe it was that we came in later in the evening? Still. For university village. One would expect more.
We had to request someone to clean our area and get our check.
We eat out often and rarely ever write a review. This was necessary.
Thank you!

Went for lunch in a Friday, it was busy but not terrible. We didn’t have any wait for a table! Menu is amazing with many options. Service was great, they were attentive and helpful.

We tried a lot from the menu and loved the fresh thick cuts of fish! The sushi assortment was perfect!!! Every bite was different and full of flavor! Loved the little egg on top!

Variety of sushi rolls to choose from, and they have a few special to this place! We loved the unicorn and the streams and rivers (salmon specialty roll)! Hand rolls were full and plentiful! The nagihama was the best!!!

The yuzu lemonade was refreshing! Don’t sleep on this and get one!

We will def be back!!

Bamboo was a welcome find on a very rainy night! We arrived around 6 PM on a Friday, and thanks to the weather, it wasn't too busy—a lucky break, as I suspect it's usually packed.

The food was good, featuring an interesting menu designed for sharing. We sampled several dishes, which are generally smaller and perfect for a group.

The location is great, situated right in the middle of the pedestrian walkway. Patio dining on a nice day would be worth checking out. There's plenty of free parking, though you might have to circle the lot a bit on a busier night.

Service was a highlight: Michaela provided excellent service, and the management team was attentive, checking in on us throughout our meal.

It's tasty, but expensive. You can find better value elsewhere.
Also, the menu posted outside has old prices. We were surprised when our take-out orders were about 10% more expensive.

Great for sushi, but not much else to make it amazing. You get what you would except, which is already very good. Modern inside.

This is not the place where you stuff your face on cheap sushi. The quality of the food here is incredibly high. I had the flight of salmon, that was some of the best bites I've ever had. Not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. The staff is always some of the friendliest people I've met and really elevate the dining experience.

I've been here a few times now and I want to like it more, but it's just pretty good. The staff are friendly and professional and the food is pretty good. I think the lack of value is what maybe doesn't bring it to 5 stars for me. That said, I understand value and sushi maybe shouldn't go hand-in-hand, so maybe I'm looking for value in the wrong place. That said, the sushi is good and I know it's weird, but the wagyu burger is one of my favorite things to get here.

My all-time favorite sushi place! Fantastic gluten free place with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. And of course a million classic sushi options too!

My partner likes to shop a lot in U village, and Bamboo Sushi is my go-to place to hang out while I'm waiting.

The service is probably the best part about this place, and all the staff seem happy and friendly.

I've never had any of the cooked dishes, but the sushi has always been great.
