Bamboo Sushi Plots Bay Area Locations in San Ramon and San Francisco | Eater SF

"I learned that Bamboo Sushi originally opened in Portland in 2008 and bills itself as the world’s first certified sustainable sushi restaurant. It follows Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch guidelines and operates with a relatively low carbon footprint, so most fish aren’t flown in from Japan; the current menu highlights sweet shrimp from British Columbia, salmon from Alaska, geoduck from Washington, albacore from Oregon, and tuna from Hawaii. The group has grown gradually (five restaurants in Portland and another in Denver) and is opening its first California locations this year: an as-yet-unannounced San Francisco site and a San Ramon restaurant at City Center Bishop Ranch. The San Ramon outpost will offer a mix of traditional nigiri, creative sushi rolls, Japanese-inspired small plates and full omakase, likely carry over the Portland restaurants’ vegetarian and gluten-free options, feature some unique dishes from the local-focused San Ramon chef, and include a full bar with cocktails alongside a large sake list." - Janelle Bitker
