Awesome experience Stopped by on a Friday during happy hour. I dined alone but was surprisingly offered a table instead of the bar. Almost every other restaurant I've been to insisted that I sit at the bar. So, I was already pleased with that. Anna came over and explained their menu and offered to answer any questions I had. The level of service was very impressive. Everyone was very friendly and hospitable. Water was served in a carafe so I could refill my glass, but staff would come by and pour it for me if my glass wasn't full. The food was delicious. The sushi was exceptional: fresh, creative while still maintaining the flavor profile of the fish. They use REAL sushi rice. May seem silly to mention but very few restaurants use real Japanese short grain rice. Sushi(sour rice) is actually more about the rice than the fish. And the seasoning is apparent in their recipe. Being of Japanese heritage, this is REAL sushi for me. This cuisine is definitely elevated from the traditional cuisine i grew up with and I totally love it. I could still taste traditional roots in the cuisine here. Which was awesome for me. The salmon tartare was chefs kiss for me. Tempura fried nori was the base for the tartare, loved it. Gave it a bar/comfort food element to it. The calamari is like nothing else out there: seven spice, orange slices, legs and body all fried tender. Other calamari legs are tough, not these, tender and buttery. Haupie pie was delicious. There's a richness to the filling, but the salty nutty macadamia crust and cream cut through it well. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I definitely indulged and was easy to given the level of hospitality and vibe. The staff, cuisine and vibe were all very impressive and made for a memorable experience. Thank you sincerely.

We sat at the sushi bar at Bamboo Sushi and had a fantastic dinner while in U Village. Was it the best sushi I've ever had? No of course not. But the items we tried were fresh and inventive, the service was quick, and drinks solid. I particularly enjoyed the variety of crispy rice dishes available and who doesn't love hand rolls!

This has now become one of my favorite sushi places. Their food is a work of art. Seriously. Art that you get to fully enjoy. Their whole menu (minus one item) is gluten free. That's right. You can enjoy tempura! I teared up a bit about this. It's been almost 13 years since I have had tempura and this place did not disappoint! Their beverages are delicious and beautifully made. Their rolls are flavorful and filling. Their atmosphere is modern and simple, allowing you to focus on the food/art in front of you. Our server was top notch, friendly and knowledgeable. Parking can be difficult because it's the U Village, and it's totally worth it. Fresh, tasty, amazing and absolutely worth it.

I love eating sushi here and the menu is spectacular. While it's in season get the wild King Salmon sushi flight! so good! I also loved the Friday the 13th sushi roll. But you can't go wrong with many of their options in case their menu changes in time which it probably will... Enjoy!

There are too many sushi spots around Seattle to justify going here again. It's overpriced. The sushi is way too sloppily made for the prices they’re asking for. Their rolls tasted fine. The vegetable tempura had hard veggies, and the sauce was tasteless. Service was also SLOW, but attentive and caring when we did receive it. Overall, it's mid. Won't be upset but won't be thrilled

Everything here, the food and ambience, just feels very clean and refreshing. The sushi is fresh, tastes delicious, and is traditional with a simple and modern spin. Friendly and attentive service, too!
We got the Bamboo Dragon roll and the Friday the 13th roll, which was our favorite!! So much flavor in that little bite..and the tempura crunchies give it such a fun texture, it accentuates the flavors! We also got this aguachile dish that was so yummy!!! It had the perfect savory and citrus mix of flavors that was just refreshing. The karaage was also good; crunchy and juicy inside, seasoned well with a yummy dip!
We would definitely come here again and try out more of their menu!

Excellent fresh ingredients, professionally prepared and served in a very attractive venue.
Came in while doing Christmas shopping after being away in Europe the last month craving more healthy food typically unavailable in america. I won't say Bamboo Sushi was a huge disappointment but it's definitely not the most "relaxed" place. We ordered our food and the crispy rice tuna came out literally one minute after ordering it. The rice was way overcooked and it made me wonder if the sushi was already pre-made. We got them" garden of eve" maki next ..... now, this was a big wow! The spicy tuna wasn't as spicy as you'd typically get, the edamame was way under steamed and the kapa maki tasted really old?? Old cucumber???? Overall, was a bit disappointed but when you realize American food culture is "quick and out" ..... you can't expect much better! Would likely come back again "if" in the area and hungry for sushi!

Omg I’ve never had so much salt for a dinner in my life. The edamame was way over salted, the chicken was grossly over salted. My husband could hardly taste his sashimi because the soy sauce was super salty. We asked if they had low sodium which they didnt. The sunset roll was so spicy it overpowered everything else and it was hard to enjoy it. The service was great though. I told my husband he might not recognize me with a swollen face after dinner. :( $180 sushi dinner, it was awful.

It's was my second time. Don't get me wrong the food is really delicious, but on every dish they add some kind of sweet and so, every dish is like sweet and spicy candy. It's jus our opinion.
Vegetarian options: We are vegetarians, and only few dishes are available for vegetarians, but, it's more than any other sushi places we been to.
Parking: It's inside the village so you can find parking somewhere, might be not close to the restaurant though.

Mid , very mid besides a cool decor i just didn’t feel like any tastes were authentic for my roll, salmon was okay. But so was the rest of my food just okay, nothing really special except if you like to look fancy. Also wait time for a semi empty place was a little odd.

I wasn't a big fan of sushi before coming here! Excellent attentive service with wonderful food.
Parking: We visited on a holiday weekend. Traffic was crowded. We circled the parking garage for about 10 minutes to find a spot. Well worth the wait for a space.
