Bamboo Sushi

Fantastic! 🤩 I have Celiac Disease and need to eat Gluten Free, my partner does not. We were thrilled to be able to share fantastic sushi, tempura, and other dishes together and geek out on the ingenuity of the flavors, textures and presentation! The mocktails were delicious! The service was great, thorough, and thoughtful! We cannot wait to go back!!

Another day , another Sushi take out and boy we loved it. We ordered the following: 1.) Friday the 13th 2.) Green Machine with Salmon 3.) Chasing the Dragon 4.) Bamboo Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna 5.) Ngiri King Salmon Friday the 13th was an absolute hit with the Spicy Salmon, some albacore (I think) and additionals. Very tasty an the role definitely was put together in a pretty amazing way. Green Machine - We ordered the Green Machine roll and added Salmon to the same order. The sweet sauce definitely added some amazing taste while the fresh cilantro and avocado gave it an amazing balance. Yummy indeed. Chasing the Dragon - Awesome presentation on the roll that is as well put together from some amazing constituents including some spicy tuna , shrimp and some crab along with some eel sauce topped off with some tempura bits and crunch. Bamboo Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna - One of the best rolls that I have had in a long time. I had not tried Crispy rice rolls this definitely was a game changer. The Truffle sauce definitely made this one a standout and the fresh green onions overall left me with craving for more of this. Last but not the least , we had the King Salmon Ngiri style for ourselves. Nice big spread of fish with just the right amount of rice, some good tasting sea salt and lemon zest to top it, it was simply amazing and just the right ending to our Sushi dinner. Would definitely recommend the aforementioned and in case you happen to be around Sanatan Row or Valleyfair mall , this is one place to stop by and recharge with some great Sushi offerings that they got. This definitely is on our list to be one of the next places where we would like to dine in for some amazing Sushi experience!!

We went at about 3pm on a weekday. The space is nice for drinks and a snack while shopping. Happy hour doesn’t start until 4pm, which was a bit of a disappointment. Sushi rolls were ordinary, nothing special. One of the signature rolls was sliced too thin, so when you picked up a piece with chopsticks, the thing just fell apart because there wasn’t enough rice binding the parts together. Veggie Tempura arrangement was haphazard and the pieces had an overly crisp outer batter. Tempura came with a sesame seed “ten-tsuyu-like” dipping sauce. Karaage came with a dill aioli which was splashed over about half of the chicken making those pieces inedible for me. Sauces should be kept separate and not touching. The Karaage itself was crispy on the outside and dry, not moist on the inside. Therefore, likely a frozen product. Conceptually, the restaurant serves fusion sushi for American people who’ve probably never had authentic sushi. But, this is what middle America probably thinks is REAL sushi.

The place has a nice appearance and atmosphere but the service and pricing isn't all that good. A piece of miso cod that I ordered was around 20 dollars and the two pieces weren't bigger than my hand. We spent near 90 dollars and we were barely hungry in the first place. The food took some time to arrive even though the place was fairly empty and the staff didn't check up on us to ask if we needed anything while we saw two of them sit in a corner and chat. The server that had us was nice but seemed a bit new and had to go to the kitchen to ask about a lot of things. Overall the food was decent but the selection is way short of other sushi restaurants and the staff looks like they can be trained a bit more, and the price often doesn't match up to portion.

We went there around 5 and surprised not a lot of people inside. The service was good, food was fresh but the portions are small. We can understand that the staff needs to clean table or floor, but we felt pressure when they are clean all the surrounding that the table is clean and it next to us. But overall, good.

Really loved the burger they have here! Its unusual for a sushi restaurant to have, but i think they nailed it perfectly! The tempura onion rings really went well with the back bean BBQ burger! Which was surprisingly not that messy to eat. Not alot of sause/oil dripping but still tasted really teriyaki and BBQ once eaten! They also can cut it in half go make it easier to eat! Servers were awesome too! He comes around often with water often and provided updates to the food whenever he passed by. Also he made great recommendations for the salmon nigri and drinks as well! The setting for outdoor dining is perfect as its mostly shaded and inactive patio heaters everywhere! Just great sushi and burgers here and equally great service! Its worth knowing that the reservation system they have is inaccurate and sometimes if you reserved a table ahead of time, it doesnt show up on the screen. There wasnt any line though and was seated instantly though.

We, party of 8 did not enjoy the experience at Bamboo Sushi. The rolls (Chasing the Dragon, Friday the 13th, River and Streams) are small compared to other sushi places. The rolls are small and nothing short of disappointment. No explosion of flavors here. We also order a $17 Wagyu burger. The in-and-out burger would have hit the spot better. Sadly to say. The onion rings were soggy, not crispy and there is still flour on the inside. We told the waitress but she didn’t seem to care. Want better sushi, you can try Cha Cha Sushi in San Jose or Sen Dai Sushi in Milpitas. Way bigger portions, way better taste, way better service and the price is more reasonable. Spent $240 but felt like we didn’t get much food. Food here was expensive, not satisfy and the experience will not be bringing us back. Definitely not the same as the experience I had in Portland. So if you’re here for experience and good food, you’ll sure be disappointed.

The specialty sushi was worth trying for new flavors. If you like fried and flavorful sauces, it's yummy. Otherwise the regular sushi was just ok. Presentation was great.

Nice food! fresh, tasty, especially the green machine roll with seasoned crab I would recommend

My SO and I decided to eat at Bamboo Sushi on a Friday evening after picking up a few items at the mall. It was conveniently located right outside of the Apple Store. AMBIANCE Modern, clean, and warm aesthetics. WAIT/RESERVATION Upon arrival at the host stand, we put our names on the waitlist since we didn't have a reservation. We didn't, so the wait was 30 minutes, albeit looking around, there were plenty of open tables inside. Patrons occupied the bar area and outdoor seating. It was the same when we returned after receiving a text to be seated; plenty of indoor tables vacant. SERVICE It was a miss for us during our first visit. We were seated quickly after returning with a text that our table was ready. We waited for a good 10 minutes before being helped. No check-ins during the entirety at the restaurant if everything was okay, nor were our drinks asked to be refilled. We had to wave down another waiter for a drink refill and asked for the check at the end. Unfortunately, this has got to be one of the worst customer services we've had in a while, especially for a restaurant that prides itself in quality and elevated fares, which needs exceptional customer service for the experience. For this reason, I deducted one full star. FOOD Bamboo Sushi is the world's first certified sustainable sushi restaurant, which is fantastic. They contribute 1% of annual sales to support environmental nonprofits. I love the mission. The food was tasty and eclectic. As advertised, it's flavor-forward and vibrant. *Spicy Edamame (steamed, chili garlic crunch, tamari, togarashi): we ordered this as an app, which was delectable. *The Unicorn (spicy crab, shrimp tempura, albacore, avocado, jalapeno dressing, gochugaru oil, micro cilantro): this was our favorite out of the two rolls we ordered. Fresh ingredients and tasty. Well-balanced. We enjoyed the jalapeno dressing. *Full Circle (spicy albacore, tempura fried green onions, seared tuna, watercress, crispy onions, citrus ginger dressing): this roll was okay. It has potential but didn't quite come together. The watercress and crispy onions should be on top or inside the roll for a better bite. I had to chopstick the watercress and crispy onions to go with the roll. Overall, Bamboo Sushi is worth a visit if you're ever in the area. It may not be for everyone since their signature sushi rolls have a modern take on the flavor profile. We enjoyed trying it out. They have more items on the menu, such as Sashimi, Nigiri, tons of Appetizers, Small Plates such as Chicken Karrage and Shishito Peppers, Crispy Rice entrees, and Kitchen Specials like a Wagyu Burger or Spicy Seaweed Fried Rice.

Located outside The Westfield Mall Outdoor seating available Visit: Thursday, August 2023 around 2pm Happy Hour ends at 3pm Party of 2 Food Ordered: Bento Lunch -Mizu Bento Comes w/ Miso Soup, Chicken Karaage that came with a lemon & dipping sauce, Salad, 2 pc Nigiri(chefs choice), Cali Roll & choice of Veggie Fried Rice Miso soup was good, traditional, good amount of chicken, nice & crispy & paired well w/ sauce provided, salad mix was citrusy, nigiri was thick & fresh, Cali roll was fine and fried rice was really good -Mindoro Bento Comes w/ Edamame, Cauliflower, Salad, 2 pc Avocado Nigiri, Green Machine Roll & choice of Veggie Fried Rice The Cauliflower was well flavored and tasted quite good that I forgot it was actually cauliflower that we were eating, good amount given, the avocado nigiri seemed plain, the green machine roll was tasty You get to choose steam rice or veggie fried rice Photos shown on here is how the bento boxes were given which clearly had some mix ups Service: As we arrived, we noticed plenty of seating available however the host still made us wait a little while to be seated Wait time on food was decent A server presented our bento box with the lid on and then obviously removed it as he placed it on the table which was nice We thought they gave us the wrong order but then realized whoever plated the box mixed up the 2pc Nigiri & Cali Roll w/ the Avocado Nigiri & Green Machine Roll instead and vice versa, this wasn't a big deal as we just traded each other what was ours but clearly it would've been nice to have the correct items in our box Also, the Miso Soup & Edamame never showed up which comes with the Bento Box, we had to tell our waiter and he seemed new and confused and later had given it to us

Food: I enjoyed the spicy albacore crispy rice more than my sushi roll. Both pretty good! The shrimp tempura was also good, not too much breading and the dipping sauce is nice and light (not too salty). Drink: Cute, refreshing, and not too sweet. Ambiance: located in valley fair mall so you know it's nice! Service: our server was attentive and kind.

I thought I should write a review of this place since it's been my #1 default eatery in Valley Fair mall whenever I go shopping there. Reasons : #1 fast seating : During busy times you'll always have to wait or reservations at other restaurants but Bamboo Sushi always has been able to accommodate me and guests every time. #2 Food quality is superb and consistent. Never had a bad dish..I've been here already 7x. #3 Speed : Plates come out real fast and if you're hungry after a day of shopping you're not gonna wanna wait. My fav dishes 5/5 : 1. Crispy garlic tofu - sweet and savory 2. Spicy tuna crispy rice - tuna n crunchy rice 3. Miso cod - savory fish Service 5/5 : Everyone works together and helps out on table requests. Manager checks in frequently and asks if your plates are ok. Speedy check to table ..no long waits to pay after your done. Kids food : 2/5 I didn't see a kids menu.But you could go with dishes like chicken karage or fried rice if your kids are fussy eaters Price: 4/5 It's on the higher side but remember: You're getting excellent service , high quality food and fast seating . Still my top choice

We got seated right away. The service was good and everything came out very quick. The sushi was very good. The big island was something I have never had before and my husband and I liked it. The cauliflower appetizer was good but a bit too sweet for me. The cocktail drinks were very good. A bit sweet but definitely really worth it. The bathroom were kept clean which is always a plus for me. Definitely will come back for the drinks.

Okay...so I came back. And I've got to say things went much better than my first time. My party was seated quickly on a Saturday afternoon. All food ordered was good to delicious. Service at first was bumpy, but Kelly (the waitress) really made up for the backed up kitchen. She was attentive and offered edamame on the house because of the inconvenience. I would come again.

Located outside of west field mall, this place has ample seating and great ambiance. We came in pretty early for sushi without a reservation and were seated fairly quickly. It took a while to order, get the food, pay, and leave, so a little more attentive service would've made our experience all the better. There are many different kinds of rolls available and so we just blindly picked 3. Price for each was a bit steep given what we received, but they did taste pretty good! Overall, Id say you should come with high (but not too high) of expectations. It's a nice spot for a date night or just a casual meal.

Bamboo Sushi's menu boasts a fantastic variety of fresh and inventive sushi rolls, each a delightful fusion of flavors. The quality of the ingredients shines through in every bite. The modern yet comfortable setting provides a welcoming backdrop for enjoying your meal. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or just looking to try something new, Bamboo Sushi is a good choice for a delicious sushi experience.

Please please please have the Signature Unicorn Sushi Roll when you dine in! . It is subliminal and world apart than when you take it to-go!! And the service is impeccable and restaurant was not too crowded even at lunch time. It was quiet and allowed for a good conversation between morsels easily.

Wanted to have a sit down lunch so thought of Bamboo Sushi. We went inside to grab a table & informed us it's a 15 mins wait... no issues we put down our names & waited over the bar area... exactly 15 mins later we were called & immediately seated. We ordered- Grilled Saba- Blistered filet of mackerel, momiji oroshi, pickled mustard seed, lemon ash, green onion. Nigiri 2 pieces each of - TUNA- tosa soy, fresh wasabi KING SALMON- orange, olive oil, lemon zest, sea salt Signature rolls - CHASING THE DRAGON* Shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, seasoned crab, cucumber, avocado, tempura crunchies THE UNICORN* Spicy crab, shrimp tempura, albacore, avocado, jalapeno dressing, gochugaru oil, micro cilantro. Everything tasted yummy but we both feel in love with The Unicorn. Excellent flavors & the micro greens were excellent paired beautifully with the dish. It's supposed to be eaten dine in ( last time we took it Togo it was ok especially since the rice got stuck which ruined our experience...) we will come back just for The Unicorn maybe we will each order our own...

Super beautiful interior! Came on a Saturday at 2pm for lunch and was seated right away. Ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna and Friday the 13th signature roll. Loved the plating of the food and dish choices. The Friday the 13th roll was super fresh, filling, and flavorful (you don't even need to dip it in soy sauce). I would definitely order it again. However I found the crispy rice to be not as crispy as I had hoped. While the flavoring of the spicy tuna was amazing, I found the crispy rice lacking in flavor and wished it was just regular sushi rice instead. Would love to come back to try their signature sashimi, specifically the dashi scallop and for their happy hour on weekdays from 4-6pm to get their daily chef selection hand roll for $8, tuna poke for $12 and spicy salmon roll for $10.

Underrated sushi place! I did not have high expectations as I had not been impressed with other restaurants in or around Valley Fair. We came here for lunch the day after Christmas and there was a small wait, which was no problem. We ordered the assorted sashimi plate paired with the Chasing the Dragon roll and the Hoki Poki Box roll, and had the house hot sake. The sashimi plate was twelve pieces with salmon, tuna, and a few other types of fish. The sashimi was impressively fresh and displayed nicely. The rolls were decent, with the hoki poki box roll being the roll that I liked better. The house sake was a good deal and paired really nicely with our meal. Julia, our hostess, was really great and had a great sense of humor. Overall I am pleasantly surprised and would come back again!

Food was very good and would reorder the Friday the 13th roll again! A little disappointed there's no unagi on the menu but the food is phenomenal. Staff was pleasant and had good service. Food came out quickly and the music and vibes were nice as well :)

For the price, its okay. but the drinks are too slow. Service is ok ambiance is good. The spicy scallop wasnt too good. overall, not bad. Nothing impressive. but the male bartender is quick and makes good drinks:)!

Passed by Bamboo Sushi multiple times since its opening and finally decided to give it a try. We were seated immediately on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was about half full. The decorations and seats are very modern and gorgeous. Our first server was very inattentive and kept going MIA and eventually stopped serving us to tend to the bar (without letting us know). But another server saw we were confused and picked our table up. He was very sweet, filled our water multiple times and gave us the check. We ordered the vegetable tempura, crispy rice spicy salmon and the spicy salmon Uramaki and the salmon Hosomaki. The vegetable tempura batter was very thick, flavorless and hard to chew. The crispy rice spicy salmon was very hard as well but had a good flavor. Our favorite was definitely the spicy salmon Uramaki because the salmon was super buttery and fresh. Overall, the fish seemed very fresh and flavorful but lots of dishes were underwhelming or overcooked. Probably won't be returning

I've been to Bamboo a handful of times. My friend really likes coming here, and the wait time is reasonable in comparison to the other eateries at the mall. The service is decent. WHAT I'VE ORDERED: 1. Full Circle Roll: this roll is really good! Very fresh. 2. Crispy Rice Rolls, Spicy Salmon: very unique and worth trying 3. Shishito Peppers: very spicy! 4. Sunset Roll: I would pass on this one 5. Spicy Edamame: expensive for what you get. Overall, I think the food it decent. Nothing ground-breaking.

First off, I have to shout out Kim and Christian for their outstanding service!! They were so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and really put the cherry on top for my whole experience at Bamboo. There are so many dining options at Valley Fair that it can be hard to choose where to eat. Bamboo is a solid choice if you want sushi - high quality fish, thoughtful sauce pairings, and they also have several menu items if raw seafood is not your thing! The wait also wasn't bad at all - my girlfriends and I came on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately. We ordered a bunch of food so we could try everything - my fav had to be the amaebi, I'm still dreaming about it ugh 10/10 must try!

Back at Bamboo sushi with my mom and sister, and sad to say that it just isn't as good. The menu has slightly changed, their Spicy Ginger Chicken bowl and the rest of their rice bowls are off the menu! I get it, menus change so we picked different items to try. This time around, a crispy rice avocado, tempura vegetables, and garlic Chicken. The crispy rice avocado looked beautiful, but wasn't as crispy as I remember. I think it's a good option for vegetarians, but tastes wise, doesn't come close to spicy tuna. Tempura vegetables are just battered vegetables with a side of dipping sauce. It was very bland, I don't recommend. Chili garlic chicken was flavorful but the chicken was overcooked and really tough to chew, I loved the flavor, but wish it was more tender. It comes on a bed of green beans and the closest we could find on the menu to the old Spicy Ginger Chicken bowl. This one did not have rice.

Great service, great food and even though it's a sushi place I swear the Wagu burger is the best burger you will ever have! Crazy how we come here only for that only most of the time! Lol

I love the ambiance and the service here! However, the food was just okay to me especially for the price point. The nigiri wasn't anything special and tasted dry (if that makes sense) the fish wasn't buttery. I also didn't like the garnish that they use, the lemon zest and minced shiso didn't go well with any of the dishes. The one dish I did like was the salmon crispy tuna rice which is the one dish I'd get again (but minus the shiso leaves)

Cute spot. Drinks were delicious. Service was efficient and our server was lovey but did forget to bring one of our meals and seemed a tad flustered. I loved the plates/utensils. Very modern. The food was ok. Really not much flavor in the roles. The tuna didn't taste as fresh as I've had. Would recommend having a drink before the movies!

We ordered 18 pieces of assorted sashimi, Tuna poke, 3 specialty rolls, Roasted maitake, Shrimp tempura, Chicken Karage, Grilled salmon Kama , Salmon nigiri, and some white fish over strips of mango with sauce. I appreciate the local sourced ingredients and fusion sushi this place is serving up but some of their things are mediocre if I have to be honest. I love salmon but their salmon Kama was a disappointment. Bland and over cooked. Don't think I'll be back here for sushi but their service was amazing and attentive.

Really wanted to love this spot, but felt that it missed the mark. Put my name down for a party of 2 for dinner time to which we were told 2 hours despite having tables and bar seating visibly available. Used to long wait times living here in the Bay Area, so decided to walk around the mall and returned during the time we should have checked-in. Never received a text message to check in, but when inquired if our table was ready we were seated when asked. Ordered the Vegetable Tempura, Hoki Poki Box and Big Island. Vegetable Tempura - a few pieces of fried kabocha pumpkin, green beans, sweet potato and carrot served with a typical tempura dipping sauce. Good, light and crispy fry but expected more than 5 pieces of vegetables $13 Hoki Poki Box - pressed sushi rice with spicy crab, tuna, avocado topped with sauce and garnish. sushi without the seaweed wrapping and was very underwhelming. 6 small pieces for $20 Big Island - I enjoyed this roll since it was light even with the avocado and tempura fried shishitos, however found the fried shiso on top seems to be a bit texturally off. love the contrast of soft and crunchy textures, but it didn't seem to play well in this dish. $18 Service was awkward, different servers taking orders and attempting to take orders or checking in, bringing out food to bringing the check. There also seemed to be a bit of an issue at the bar with a customer raising her voice at another individual and showing her phone to the other diners at the bar, which resulted in said customer being asked to leave. So that was a bit off-putting as my party was seated next to her. Over-priced sushi was mediocre at best. Portions are small and did not seem to equate price to quality. Great presentation and nice ambiance, maybe going for HH, drinks and appetizers seem doable? Otherwise, wouldn't recommend dining here for lunch or dinner. It's a miss for me.

Pricey, but delicious. We sat at the bar since there was a wait for a table. The bartender was really cool. She recommended what drinks to get. I can't remember which ones they were, but they were both really good. Mine was a peach -flavored cocktail, which tasted just like punch! Dangerous cuz it had quite the kick. Sushi rolls were really good. The fish was very fresh! I also ordered the scallop sashimi, which was supposed to be seared, but apparently they only sear the nigiri. For dessert, we got the black sesame brownie. It took forever to come out so we got for free. That was really nice of them! The dessert was just ok. The brownie didn't taste like there was black sesame in it. They just add black sesame as a topping to the ice cream. Definitely worth coming back to try other rolls and cocktails.

Today around lunchtime, I was walking around outside Westfield Valley Fair, looking for a place to grab lunch with a friend. It started raining and everywhere was super crowded, but I stumbled across Bamboo Sushi which I could tell had a few remaining tables open, so we decided to give it a go and were pleasantly surprised! When we walked inside, there were two other groups in front of us, but since there were only two of us, they had two more small tables and we were able to grab one of them. Yay to not having to wait! The waitress gave us menus and a waiter brought us water. We ordered three items, and they each came out as soon as they were ready (family style). Here's what we ordered: Bamboo Dragon ($18): The Bamboo Dragon was a signature roll that consisted of shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, seasoned crab, cucumber, avocado, and tempura crunchies. It was really flavorful and hit the spot! This came out first and we really enjoyed it with the wasabi and soy sauce. Spicy Salmon ($16): The Spicy Salmon was under the Crispy Rice section of the menu. It was crispy rice with minced spicy salmon and contained Yuzu kosho and shiso. The Yuzu gave it a citrusy flavor which was surprising and unique! I personally really enjoyed this dish. Miso Glazed Black Cod ($20): The Miso Glazed Black Cod was broiled black cod with orange, ginger, green onion, yuzu, miso, and gochugaru oil. The flavors in this dish were truly outstanding! We both really like black cod, so this was the perfect choice and I highly recommend trying it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience here! The food and service were great. I'm so glad that we ended up eating here today! I was pleasantly surprised and would love to return and try even more here.

This is one my regular spots for lunch as they are never too busy and the food is served fairly quickly. I never need to make a reservation or anything, open bar seating and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. I've tried almost every roll on the menu and have always gone back to getting the same roll again & again, Friday The 13th. The roll consists of spicy salmon (not really spicy), albacore, eel sauce and etc. It's the tastiest roll on the menu! My next contenders would have to be the Unicorn roll or Full circle. They are in the process of changing up their menu though, so in the next foreseeable months there may be more/better options. You could also get the Tuna Poke, but sometimes it's a hit or miss depending on how fresh the Tuna is that day. On other days, I also order the Tuna and Uni Nigiri - if you catch the Uni on a good day, it tastes amazing. As for drinks, I've tried the Sincere Cider which is a light cider beer - for those who like the carbonated drinks. This one pictured, I tried today and it is the Momo (vodka, peach, apricot, etc.). The best cocktail on the menu - a perfect blend of flavors and the vodka just mixes well. And this is coming from a person who prefers tequila over vodka. If you're at Valleyfair or Santana Row, it's worth a try!

We went at about 3pm on a weekday. The space is nice for drinks and a snack while shopping. Happy hour doesn't start until 4pm, which was a bit of a disappointment. Sushi rolls were ordinary, nothing special. One of the signature rolls was sliced too thin, so when you picked up a piece with chopsticks, the thing just fell apart because there wasn't enough rice binding the parts together. Veggie Tempura arrangement was haphazard and the pieces had an overly crisp outer batter. Tempura came with a sesame seed "ten-tsuyu-like" dipping sauce. Karaage came with a dill aioli which was splashed over about half of the chicken making those pieces inedible for me. Sauces should be kept separate and not touching. The Karaage itself was crispy on the outside and dry, not moist on the inside. Therefore, likely a frozen product. Conceptually, the restaurant serves fusion sushi for American people who've probably never had authentic sushi. But, this is what middle America probably thinks is REAL sushi.

Bamboo Sushi, great location. Located right near the Cheesecake Factory valet for the Westfield Mall. Nice ambiance. We were greeted right away and seated for our reservation fairly quickly. Server was friendly. Food and drinks were pretty good but pricey. I wanted to order another drink but the server informed me that they were out of "tequila" but could add patron for an extra $3. Last time I checked patron is tequila. But hey, figured just trying to upsale. Tip - They only accept credit card and apple pay! Water is warm so doesn't taste well.

Another day , another Sushi take out and boy we loved it. We ordered the following: 1.) Friday the 13th 2.) Green Machine with Salmon 3.) Chasing the Dragon 4.) Bamboo Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna 5.) Ngiri King Salmon Friday the 13th was an absolute hit with the Spicy Salmon, some albacore (I think) and additionals. Very tasty an the role definitely was put together in a pretty amazing way. Green Machine - We ordered the Green Machine roll and added Salmon to the same order. The sweet sauce definitely added some amazing taste while the fresh cilantro and avocado gave it an amazing balance. Yummy indeed. Chasing the Dragon - Awesome presentation on the roll that is as well put together from some amazing constituents including some spicy tuna , shrimp and some crab along with some eel sauce topped off with some tempura bits and crunch. Bamboo Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna - One of the best rolls that I have had in a long time. I had not tried Crispy rice rolls this definitely was a game changer. The Truffle sauce definitely made this one a standout and the fresh green onions overall left me with craving for more of this. Last but not the least , we had the King Salmon Ngiri style for ourselves. Nice big spread of fish with just the right amount of rice, some good tasting sea salt and lemon zest to top it, it was simply amazing and just the right ending to our Sushi dinner. Would definitely recommend the aforementioned and in case you happen to be around Sanatan Row or Valleyfair mall , this is one place to stop by and recharge with some great Sushi offerings that they got. This definitely is on our list to be one of the next places where we would like to dine in for some amazing Sushi experience!!!

This place is very underrated. I love at least 6 menu items and I eat here at least once a week. I get the wagyu burger, crispy rice with spicy tuna, Friday the 13th, green machine, garden of Eden, and unicorn. This food is so good. It's NOT expensive for what you get. You can't get these rolls anywhere else. The fish is fresh, the sauces are tasty and creative and unique. I usually have to use soy sauce and wasabi at other sushi places. Here, there is so much flavor in each roll. I highly highly highly recommend eating here!

Came here for lunch on a Thursday when they opened at 11am. Got a table outside in their little patio. QR code for the menu and the wait staff and our waiter was very friendly and on point. Cashless. Only Apple Pay and Credit. A couple of the items we wanted were out so it was a bit disappointing hence the 3 stars. Food was good and filling but overall pricey. Highlights were the albacore and the zig zag roll. The cooked items were okay.

Want highly mediocre over-priced sushi? Cool, you found your spot! Came here to try a few things and sat at the bar. The bartender was great at first- really attentive and helpful. We started with a few apps and rolls and then figured we'd order the rest of our food after so we could decide what we wanted. Started off great- the kaarage was good and the mixed green salad was great (dressing is amazing). Then we picked two rolls to start with - Friday the 13th and Sunset. They came out and were beautiful - presentation was great and the portion was generous. They had a nice mix of textures with some crunch added to the roll. Unfortunately, the taste did not match the presentation. The rolls were fishy - tasted like the fish was far from fresh. The rice was a bit dry too, not a good combo. Tried to get our check after that to leave, but that process took over 15 minutes. I'd say if you want a drink and some apps- this is a good place. However, If you want sushi, go somewhere else. Way too many good restaurants in the area to have crappy sushi.

The sushi is super yummy! The price is a little pricey but the quality is good. The place is clean. The inside looks very nice. The service is great as well. There is a wait on weekends sometimes so be aware. My favorite is the crispy rice with salmon! I think I tried almost all of their menu and honestly everything is pretty good!

Our server was so nice and attentive! No line. love the ambiance and decor! Got the california roll and a few other rolls to share with hubby. Everything was so delicious huge portions for the price and we were pleased! Def coming back to try more! 10/10!!!!

Bamboo Sushi's sustainable concept was certainly a draw, but the Sushi game in Bay Area is STRONG and keep up you must deliver on freshness and taste. Bamboo Sushi sorta delivered... First, I want to acknowledge how beautiful the restaurant is. The minimalistic wooden design is clean and welcoming accommodating both the casual and fine diner. The staff was overall friendly and did a good job, although the service slowed down after the food was delivered. We came during lunch, so no cocktails. But their drink menu looks very promising. As for food, we got: -Shrimp Tempura appetizer: usually shrimp tempura batter is super light. This one definitely had more crunch to it; almost like a beer batter. This was quite nice because you could soak up all of the yummy sauce and still get nice crunchy bite. Definitely a great appetizer option. -Special Green Roll: I for got the name of it, but it came in a cilantro-style sauce and was absolutely delicious. The sauce added an incredible freshness go the roll. Wish it was a permanent item. -Chasing the dragon: Beyond disappointed in this roll. It was VERY dry and the heavy crunch that they used on the shrimp was hard and uncomfortable to eat. I had to drench the roll in soy sauce to make it edible. The verdict is still out. I may have to try it one more time to see whether the one bad roll I had was a fluke. Next time, I'll have to come back during dinner to try their cocktails.

My partner went for dinner last night. The waiter told them two of the things they wanted were out - understandable, it happens. Then, the waiter took their order of grilled mackerel wrong, twice. After waiting almost 40 minutes (after finishing everything else, with no check in from our waiter) for the mackerel, the waiter finally came out and mentioned the kitchen was now out of that too! Apparently the last two had gone out to other tables while they were trying to rectify their mistake. Their "apology" for them screwing up the order until the kitchen ran out of the food was that we didn't have to pay for the thing we never got (the grilled mackerel) - a sort of strange "apology" given that normally you don't pay for dishes you don't receive at a restaurant. Other small things are that they never brought us soy sauce/tamari, even though we asked multiple times, and our waiter kept repeating himself and forgetting what he was saying. I think the food might have been good if the restaurant wasn't out of multiple items at 6pm, but the service was atrocious.

Great restaurant with great food. Everything is gluten free minus 3 items on the menu. The dragon roll was great and my husband got the burger. The service was slow for there not being many people there, but it didn't bother us much. There was also a band playing outside, a bit loud for the small space, but they were good and everyone was enjoying it.

take away order took over than 45 minutes extra than the time listed when I place the order. Rolls were good they did not pack any soy sauce.

Formerly great place for pricey but gluten free sushi. Was always busy so it's a huge surprise they closed down since we'd average $40-$50 a plate per person.

Came here as part of a small cute little date with my boyfriend. The restaurant is located in the outdoor area of the Valley Fair mall and we got seated at the patio. The ambience was really nice from just outside and even from peaking at the inside, the interior is also very well put together and modern. For ambience it's a 5/5. Our server was also very sweet and attentive. For that, service is also a 5/5. Where I felt that the restaurant was lacking was the food. There wasn't anything special I felt from the food besides the price points. It was more upscaled and it felt like we were just paying for the ambience. I forgot what roll my boyfriend got but it was filling. And we also ordered some cut rolls, king salmon nigiri, and crispy spicy tuna which was good. Food was good but just okay. The king salmon nigiri was something I was looking forward to after seeing so many people try king salmon on mukbangs but it wasn't anything particularly special. I know I probably should have ordered more specialty rolls instead but I felt that for a kind of fancy sushi restaurant their core strengths would be the quality of the fish. Ended up pretty underwhelmed and the bill was about 80 dollars or so after tip.

Mediocre sushi, kind of overpriced and long wait (1.5 hours on a Saturday evening in July). I didn't find the ingredients to be extremely fresh or the rolls to be extremely unique. No distinct flavors, nothing super memorable. I'd try another restaurant for a shopping break or find nearby places in Cupertino / West SJ.

I would rate this place a 2 based on food, but ended up rating it a 3 just because of the service and atmosphere. It's a cute place and my friends and I honestly came here on a Friday night because it was the restaurant at valley fair that had the shortest wait. I can see why the wait was so short though because the food was very mediocre. Food: - wagyu burger: 5/10, got this burger medium rare and it came with some onion rings and mustard sauce, but the mustard sauce didn't have much flavor and tasted watery. The burger was also soggy and very greasy. I did like this better than the rolls here though. - unicorn roll: 2/10, do not get this :( There is not much flavor and the arugula on top did not mix well with the fish. Overall

The whole restaurant ambiance was inviting and gorgeous inside and out. Started off with ordering the edamame which was great! We ordered the Sunset roll, Friday the 13th roll, and the Garden of Eden roll. Although aesthetically pleasing to the eye, they were quite disappointing in their taste (too salty).

I came here earlier this week with some friends. We sporadically stopped by and we were seated immediately. Our server was very nice and incredibly attentive. The restaurant was pretty and very clean. It was a nice atmosphere to be in. We ordered the following rolls: Full circle, Green machine, Spicy salmon crispy rice, Sunset & Chasing the dragon. When ordering these we even asked our server for advice on what to pick. The Green Machine was delicious. The sauce was so good!! The rest were not impressive at all.

Good sushi (I had the nigiri plate) utterly ruined by the service which ranged from inept but friendly all the way to unprofessional and unfriendly. My waitress was friendly and hovered over me at the start, as if there was a time limit on me ordering. After that I didn't see her much. I was eating alone at 5pm. My 5 pieces of nigiri took 25 minutes to arrive. The restaurant was less than half full. The nigiri was delivered by a guy who didn't speak a word to me. He dumped the plate on my table and left. When I called after him because I had no soy sauce, he stormed off and grabbed one from another table, slamming it down on mine. Then I had to ask him for a carafe of water. Every other table had one but apparently solo diners don't get one. My water had been empty for 15 minutes. My waitress came back after 15 minutes to ask about desert or another cocktail. Then I didn't see her again. Oh and some random waitress coming to my table IN THE MIDDLE OF ME EATING to take away the second place setting at my table because I'm eating solo? Frankly insulting. The table next to mine had to have three dishes canceled from their check because the food hadn't arrived by the time they were done eating. Considering the prices (~$10 for two pieces of nigiri) and the quality of the food (good) the service was woefully lacking. Bamboo Sushi, you have three stars overall on Yelp because you just aren't very good at being a restaurant.

Terrible manager who likes to overcharge customers . Watch your bill. Unethical business avoid. Also their management has said their owners were idiots to open a restaurant at the mall . Well cheesecake and Eataly are doing pretty well maybe you're jealous . Also lazy management they just watched the tv instead of greeting guests .

Ok, updating my review because my second visit was awful. Service was alright, but food sucked. I got the same dishes as last time but it was so bad, enough for me to not want to come back. They are not consistent and now I get why everyone says it's overpriced.

YUMMMM! Refreshing sashimi and oh so delicious tuna crispy rice! Flavor was on point and the fusion nigiris were so delicious! Service was friendly and attentive! You must order the green machine roll, super delicious!!!! Couldn't get enough of it! Definitely coming back! Thanks for a fun time!

This is a wonderful place when you feel the need for Japanese food! There's seating available inside and outside, but since the weather was a bit on the warm side, we opted for inside seating. The place looks really nice...very cozy and inviting. And the service from start to finish was just exceptional! I came in with a group of 6 and we were always being seen to. Even after all our food and drinks arrived at the table, we were always being checked on when our server was in our area, which was quite often. And the staff were always in smiles. No wonder I ate too much during this visit! The price is just right. With the amount of food they serve, the quality and its taste, the price is worth every bit! I live in Sacramento, but next time I'm in the area, this place will always be on top of my visiting list!
