Overall, I will not come back. Best dish was the ceviche with taro chips otherwise, food was mid, karage chicken was raw or cold half of the plate, service seems like they were generally dont want to be there and not justify the price.
Service: We went during happy hour and the server’s face turned so unhappy after we asked for the happy hour menu. He probably was having a bad day, or the place doesn’t treat their employees so well somehow.
Food: sashimi and/or nigiri was so mid…the tuna was actively stinky . We ordered a cooked roll to see if it tastes better, and nope the entire roll was just so bland and flat on flavor. The chicken karage was raw in the middle, or cold or recooked/deep fried too many times that it ended up chewy.

Sushi rolls tasted good. Fish quality was acceptable. I cannot recommend the oyster here. Service was ok. We did patio seating, but I recommend indoor for two reason. Probably will received better service. A bit slow on the patio and also random foul smell when the breeze shifts. Parking can be challenging as it is downtown so just street parking.

Everything at Bamboo Sushi was so good, I just wish I’d come more hungry! The crispy rice with salmon was amazing, and almost the entire menu was gluten-free (except the burger). Great service and such a nice dining experience overall.

I travel a good bit for work and I love trying restaurants that locals recommend when I visit an area for the first time. The front desk woman recommended this place and it did not disappoint. I even went back my second night. I typically test a new spot by ordering something simple and basic. The reason I do this is simple if a restaurant puts care into something basic I am positive the hard stuff will be exquisite. Their miso soup is stupid good meaning everything else should be great and in this case it was
The mgr rob was funny and helpful my server tonight Lucas was spot on with suggestions and the choice of paired local wines was spot. I would also give major props to my server from last night but I can’t recall her name.

This is my new favorite sushi joint! I had the Yellowtail nigiri and the Unicorn Roll. The Unicorn blew my mind! It has a nice, spicy kick along with so many fresh flavors. My wife had the king salmon nigiri and a custom-made veggie roll. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Our drinks were delicious as well. I would give you 6 stars if I could.

Had such a great experience here with our server Mikalo. Honestly the best service we had during our visit to Portland. We ordered hot sake and the Tomodachi board. Everything tasted super fresh!

We sat out on a warm evening, with an aim of a light dinner. Service is warm and friendly.
Kudos to the manager who managed very professionally an incident that occurred. I was a little worried that it could escalate though she handled it well. Thank you.
The food – the chix karage was nicely fried. Cucumber sunomono / salad and seaweed salad – decent. They are what you expect tho they are also hard to go wrong. We ordered one roll to try out – it tastes fine tho it isnt great.
The roll was kinda floppy and loose, and way too large (circumference wise). It was cut very thinly (about half an inch) and it probably was a practical choice as it is such a large / fat roll… tho it ruins the proportion and mouthfeel of how the roll should be. The ingredients of the roll were otherwise fresh and tasty.
To put it in the right context – I would not provide this feedback if this restie is not positioned as a sushi restaurant and is not so pricey.

Came here with a couple of friends for lunch.
It wasn’t busy at that time. We were greeted promptly to be seated.
Interior is definitely nicely furnished, lighting is a bit dark.
Menu selection is limited compared to your regular sushi restaurant. They mainly offer their own house made signature rolls in terms of sushi.
Food taste-wise was on point. Can taste the freshness of it.
Our server was very friendly, patient, and accommodating, which adds to the higher-class experience.
It’s definitely a place you would go to if you are looking for a more unique and high-quality Japanese food.
8/10 would come back again to try other food items on the menu.

Bamboo is an often frequented establishment for me and my wife. The food met our high expectations and the service was very attentive without being obnoxious. We ordered the wagyu sliders, edamame for appetizers, my wife had a custom hand roll on soy paper and I had the specialty Roll “The Unicorn”.

Everything from the food to the service and the environment was absolutely great. Food was very fresh, especially the seafood. Hard to find fresh seafood this great. Flavor was just right. They even have real wasabi that is harvested locally!
Good for families, they’re very helpful and patient in explaining the menu. Highly recommended.
