To be honest... the restaurant was much better before covid. After new ownership and new executive management the food has not been consistent. The portion has been less. It's not the same high standard restaurant like use to be. Now it's just a cheap easy sushi joint.

I always look for gluten-free and healthy restaurants, and this is the best gluten-free sushi I've tried. The service is fast and great, but the only thing I didn't like is the taste of the spicy mayo sauce. More attention should be paid to the taste of the sauces , and the price is also high."

Very slow service. Might as well order 90 mins in advance and then head over to this place. Made me wait for 75 mins for a average roll. Not repeating. Not recommending.

Sushi was okay and plates took 15 minutes apart between our table of 3 friends. That puts a damper on our girls dinnerMiso soup was
Bamboo sushi is a staple for date nights and great place to enjoy both fresh sashimi snd prepared roles. We tell people to get the green machine and rainbow roles. The hoki poki box entree is amazing. The miso soup and the edamame are great starters. Last time we were in we tried the Chirashi bowl as well which was great. The service at the bar is really quick and although we haven’t indulged, I hear their cocktails are good as well.Vegetarian options: There are multiple tasty roles and other dishes served without meat or animal products.Dietary restrictions: They will ask at the beginning of the meal and they will accommodate as necessary.Parking: There are multiple free parking lots and parking garages in the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a kid friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: University place and the surrounding restaurants are all wheelchair accessible.

Are Seattle prices worth paying for sustainable sushi? A question for the ages.(Okay who am I kidding, if you care about the "sustainable" part then you clearly have enough money to do this. =D)So then, good sirs and gentlewomen, let us address each other like the proper elites we are and forgo any discussion of the prices. Let us also, in the spirit of trusting the good USDA to do their job for once, assume that the sourcing of the fish is swift, accurate, and of course, sustainable. Let us just consider the taste of the sashimi served, as I would normally do.And to that I say: This restaurant chain is not only dedicated to sustainable seafood. They are also dedicated to utilizing the salt of the entire Pacific, and it SHOWS!I mostly identify as a temporarily-embarrassed Fort Wayner, so let me use some Fort Wayne terms for a moment: Honestly, this place reminded me a lot of Tolon. There is great food in here, but the sheer amount of salt ruins it. In contrast, their yakumi (nigiri & sashimi condiments) is super in-the-background, to the point where I question if it was ever really there. Some may say that is the point. I say Haru is rolling in its... money. Rolling in its money. The yakumi is what makes that joint so much more alive and well.Speaking of Haru, the kara-age at Bamboo Sushi also makes a great contender to the tatsuta-age from the FW place. That is to say, it is really great... if not for the sauce that tastes like not enough mustard dunked in too much mayo, where the mustard is constantly trying to make itself known in the most obnoxious way possible, yet the mayo's sourness is the only taste that lingers around. Yeah, you get the pattern by this point.Still, the silver lining is that Bamboo Sushi knows enough not to put salt on EVERYTHING (unlike a certain joint mentioned in this very review). Being a fresh-fish joint - and the fish is very fresh - you can still have a great meal if you know what to avoid. As a bonus, they also guarantee that all of their catch is free of gluten! Go figure!Really, Bamboo Seattle's only fault is that it is in dire need of a saucier. However, I don't remember seeing any fish that was sourced from the vicinity of France, so maybe they're just revolting against that system in their own little way.To end on a positive note, that matcha panna cotta - served with raspberry and pure milk powder crumbles - was one of the best Japanese-inspired desserts I've ever had.TL;DR Avoid anything with sauces.

The food was average at best.The service was OK.The atmosphere is non-existent as this place has no character. For this price point, I'd expect a better restaurant. This kind of dining at a dollar sushi restaurant for the price of a fine dining.

Sushi is very basic, and extremely expensive. I was hoping at least service would be good. Unfortunately, they were extremely slow and server was coming up to me and asking if I’m ready to pay every 3 minutes. Would not recommend this place.
