Funnily enough, I was recommended to go to Bamboo Sushi for it's burger. The burger, in fact, was one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had. It was very juicy and had great quality cheese. The taro chips were amazing. The tuna nigiri was delicious. I really loved the agedashi tofu. The tofu quality was incredible and the dashi broth was so flavorful. The miso Black Cod was fruity and delicious, but the portion was small. Even the California roll was great quality - texturally very soft and the crab flavor is mellow but delicious. The mackerel was a little too salty for me.

Such a great experience, every time. The sushi is always so flavorful and fresh. As someone with an extreme gluten allergy, it’s nice to be able to eat anything without worrying about gluten-poisoning.

A first timer at Bamboo, but definitely not a last timer. I totally enjoyed dining at Bamboo yesterday late afternoon. While seating felt just a wee bit crowded, everything else about Bamboo was superb. Ian, our server was well informed , pleasant, and attentive without hovering....perfect. We ordered a variety of offerings, including tempura shrimp, the black cod, garlic fried rice , the garden of eden sushi roll , agedashi tofu, and the wonderful, off the charts king salmon kama collar. All foods came out family style and ready to share. Prices were a bit steeper than usual, but considering the expert preparation , tastes, and service , I felt I received value for money spent. Final take....recommended. I'm looking forward to my return visit already.

I was genuinely really impressed on my first time in. I always heard it was either good or overrated. Every single dish was super fresh and flavorful from start to finish, I couldnt leave anything empty! Service was also spot on, very attentive. I will definitely be returning.

From being greeted at the door to the farewells at the end, everyone at bamboo is so beyond welcoming and friendly! Matt and Robert were our servers tonight! I chose bamboo for my birthday dinner as my yearly tradition is sushi Robert was in training and Matt was showing him the ropes. They were both so kind and observant of our needs and were so thorough in educating us about menu options and details once the food arrived. The salmon flight was phenomenal and the fresh grated Wasabi is a must have! It has been a while since I've been to bamboo but I am never disappointed. Thank you so much for your kind service and excellent food!

So this is my favorite Bamboo, and I believe it's the smallest, but its staff makes all the difference. I love going on a solo date here and sitting at the sushi bar. Jose, Nishan, and other chefs making the food in the sushi bar are just so so so good. Also, the BOH chefs really made my Food just superb last night. Thank you for understanding my sauce obsession with your place. You Do Tooo Goooood! My favorite item is the king salmon coho sashimi with truffle.... it is splendid with the Mico greens, a little spice, acid of tomato, and a savory balance of the truffle sauce with the fatty salmon. Deeeelish! ok, also, I love their nigiri scollap with the Yuzu dress. Phenomenal couldn't ask for a better bite! Their ikura is marinaded so well, its a lil bite of heaven! And my go-to apps are shoshito peppers, miso Ceasar, their spin on Agadashi is Delightful and enough for a lunch really. Or a share, or you order too much and have lunch the next day! Dealers' choice, but always a pleasure stopping into this location. Also, I love their green machine roll, add salmon... the burger is very well executed for you non fishy folx.. as well as their vegan Vegetarian options, imo are delicious, great options for everyone. Def leave room for the delicate matcha Pana cotta! Always a fun texture and wonderful flavor Also, I almost forgot from the host to the servers. I love watching them all work so fluid together. Thanks, Robert, for taking such care with my meal experience and, of course ALL THE CHEFS

Been here twice already, and will keep coming back. Their sushi is just out of this world. I tried the Green machine and the flower power drink, both were super good. Make sure you make a reservation if you're coming in the evening. They get pretty busy.

Bamboo sushi is my go to spot when I want sushi in Portland. Their sushi is super fresh, they have great non sushi options, and their crispy rice is to die for!
