Stopped by the 23rd location for bamboo- went in around 2 pm on a Sunday and we were able to be seated right away! Our order came out quickly, and the tuna crispy rice, hamachi crudo and other dishes were all amazing!

I had a great experience at bamboo for lunch today. I've had several items on their menu but the Green Machine is a can't miss! I love think the brussel sprouts are also a standout. The service is always quick and friendly. This is a smaller location but the inside was nice and quiet.

I LOVE BAMBOO!! One of my favorite sushi places in Portland never had anything bad! I love the rolls and sashimi and the Tempura cauliflower is a must! Bamboo is good for any occasion, the indoor/outdoor seating is perfect for a summer day.

Highly recommend this sushi spot if you are in Portland. It's my first time at Bamboo sushi and it has amazing food and delicious cocktails that did not disappoint. Appetizers: - Tempura cauliflower (MUST ORDER) that sweet tangy flavorful tempura battered cauliflower was one of the best appetizer I've ever had. - Chicken Karaage - Just like the normal karaage , not bad - Wasabi Honey Chicken - Initially, I thought it's just chicken covered in honey, but to my surprise (forgot to take a photo) - Shrimp tempura - very good, I like how the tempura batter is very thin but crispy. - Edamame and the garlic fried rice - nothing special, the fried rice was a bit soggy in my opinion. We ordered the Kazoku Board which feeds 6-8 ppl, this board was MASSIVE!!! It consists of a few rolls which Green Machine was a big hit and fresh sushi / sashimi. There were 6 of us and we pretty much finished all the food with a full belly. We opted out of dessert because we wanted to go Salt & Straw ice cream which was right next door. Thank you for a great meal!

Consistently wonderful sushi here at Bamboo. We had a variety of sashimi and rolls at the table. Love that the kitchen is primarily gluten free, so no issues ensuring my friend with celiac was safe. Service was great despite being a busy afternoon. Ambiance was casual and quiet. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing space. Highly recommend any of their locations.

The unicorn roll

Came to Bamboo for a quick lunch on a weekday. It got the job done but was nothing to write home about. The roll was on the pricier side and was nothing special taste-wise. The Wagyu burger, which I had heard good things about, had a hearty portion of meat but did not taste like much else. I asked for my meat to be cooked medium but it came out well done. I did enjoy the taro chips that came with it, though. Overall my experience was nothing special, though perhaps I didn't order the right things.

The unicorn

Service: 8/10 our waiter was very kind. I asked him a lot of questions about the ingredients and food and he graciously provided every answer despite it being busy. He also was fast, didn't forget anything and was all in all a great human. Also, so cool that they a really cool company that sources their food sustainably, love this. Ambiance: 7/10 dim lit, nice date night decor Food: 5/10 the only truly impressive thing I've had here is the green machine roll. It's relatively affordable for the size and unreal flavor. Everything else I've had here just cannot come close. GREEN MACHINE: 10/10 best sushi I've ever had. Do not pass this up. Crunchy tempura with unreal sauce. The sauce is sweet, creamy & fresh tasting. It's made with egg yolk, cilantro, a hint of garlic and sweet chili sauce. It is truly unreal and very impressive. This restaurant could survive on this dish alone. UNICORN: 6.5/10 jalepeno sauce was good. Beautiful presentation. It was a refreshing sushi roll. It was good. GARLIC CHILI CHICKEN: 3/10 don't get this. Chicken was cooked beautifully. Nice char. The Fresno chilies added nice acidity but the flavor just was flat, I couldn't taste the garlic or chili. Just tasted like a underwhelming teriyaki. The bed of green beans had a few nice bites and the cooking method was unique but all in all, this dish was a disappointment. GREEN BEANS: 2/10 this dish was bland. Please do not order this. The pickled onions helped, the beans were cooked perfectly and the crunchy tempura was a nice texture but this dish had 0 flavor. Just tasted like a bland green bean.

Kindred spirit cocktail

There were 4 of us for NYE. We ordered the Tomodachi, which supposedly serves 4-6 people. We ordered another roll and an appetizer with that and we def didn't have any leftovers but we were all comfortably full. The spicy tuna crispy rice was amazing I would 100% get that again and the Green machine Roll (we added salmon to it) was also soo good and I would get again. Everything else was good but I would prob not order that board again and order those 2 with something else new to try if I went back. We also ordered the bamboo dragon roll which was really good & spicy edamame for an app. For drinks, I ordered the kindred spirit which was sweet and tasty but the one I would actually recommend was the dew drop, that is what I will be getting next time, it was super tasty. Overall enjoyed the food and experience!

Tempura shrimp
Vanessa M.

10/10!! Service was amazing, the vibes were amazing, and the food was to-die-for! It was my first time having edamame, crispy rice, and the hand rolls and boyyyyyy! They did not disappoint! It's been about it a week or so and I'm still dreaming about this experience. The Green Machine is probably one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time! The sauce is immaculate *chefs kiss* I cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! For this entire meal we spent about $90ish and I think it was worth every penny.

Perfect sashimi
Barbara D.

Good sushi and fewer crowds than way back when. Lots of options for sushi and a lot less description aware each individual fish came from like I remember from the old days. I found the service friendly and they took care of our group of six although one person's order came out half hour after everyone else, which is always an embarrassment when you were hosting a dinner for out-of-town folks all in all this place has stayed the same while sushi and other places has gotten better. This is an old standby that is still worth your time.

Green Machine: Bottom
Akash P.

I'm absolutely in love with one specific sushi roll they offer--the Green Machine, specifically the vegan version. It's like heaven for my taste buds, and I refuse to try other rolls because this one is just that amazing. It's a healthy addiction! I've also tried the edamame and some other rolls, but nothing compares to the Green Machine--it's by far the best. I've never dined in, so I can't comment on the service, but their takeout is excellent. The interior looks nice from what I've seen, but I haven't had the chance to experience it in person yet. I'll definitely be coming back for another round of the Green Machine!

Bamboo Sushi was a perfect place for sushi. We randomly came upon this place after walking around 23rd Street. They have a unique twist on their sushi. It almost has an Italian like influence on many of their dishes. Every we ordered was amazing with my personal favorite being the Hoki Poke Box. I also recommend sitting at the sushi bar. The chefs were all very interactive with us and told us about the process in how they made everything. The restaurant had great service from the wait staff as well. Overall, this local sushi restaurant had everything I look forward to in a great night of sushi!

Mediocre food, service, and ambiance - not a good dining experience, still paid $100+. Go elsewhere.

Ask the Community - Bamboo Sushi

Is there any MSG or related that is used in the food?

Hi Mike, We do have trace amounts of MSG in the Hondashi that is used in our Maitake Mushroom and… Read more

Do they use real or imitation crab, or different ones in different items? We're trying to order online (COVID times) and haven't been able to get through on the phone to ask. Thanks!

The use a mix of real and imitation in their rolls. It's different than what they used to and it is NOT disclosed. It sucks.

I try to call make a reservation but phone doesn't work?

I usually reserve online, it is easy. Just go to bamboo shushi website

Any vegan options?

They have Vegan options and if you want something different than what's on the menu, they are great about requests.

I really appreciate that you have the opportunity order other things after the Micah is done.

I thought they were going to be fillers but they tasted great and actually put new fish I've never had before on the map for me! Some of my favorites were - kanpachi - kome buri - ama ebi - salmon (I liked it more than the king salmon, maybe I have peasant taste) - toro The omakase was well thought out as you can see and we even enjoyed the miso soup. I think the price tag of $100/person can initially be steep but you can easily spend this much on these nicer orders. I was also worried they might drop the quality during the AYCE portion but it continued to be delicious and service was consistent throughout (there was another group of 13 people so service was a bit slow having to divide time between the rest of the restaurant and them). I highly recommend this place and will for sure come back. Some delicious quality fish and my new favorite if I'm coming hungry!

TL;DR Delicious, Umami filled sushi with special respect to the craft…read more Where to begin with this sushi restaurant? With a combined 115 years of experience this restaurant shines with what feels like authentic sushi. We were there with a group of four and were seated promptly for our reservation at 5:45 PM. Our server Ben was an absolute delight and brought vibrancy and genuineness to his service. So shoutout to Ben. I was a bit disappointed that they were unable to accommodate my Tokyo Tea request for a cocktail (I'm always about efficiency when drinking ) but the cocktails that we did receive were elegant and refreshing. But now to the meat of the review or should I say fish? We were taken on a journey through the Toyosu fish market or so I'm and had several delicious rolls such as the Yama roll, Salmon and Scallop, Jamison and the simple California roll. We also had two of the nigiri the salmon belly and the unagi which were both fall apart tender deliciousness in your mouth. Needless to say I am looking forward to our next visit and would love to experience their version of an omakase since the quality was there.

We had a very different experience with Momoyama this time, and unfortunately it was disappointing…read more We previously dined at Momoyama and thought the food was excellent -- beautiful presentation, high-quality sushi, and a gorgeous setting in the Pearl District. Service was average, but the food more than made up for it. Because of that first experience, we decided to place a fairly large takeout order for a family dinner last night. Big mistake. We were told the order would be ready in 30 minutes. We arrived on time only to discover they had not even started preparing it yet. The explanation was "a computer issue," but nobody called us to let us know there would be a delay, and no real apology was offered. By the time we finally got the food, we were already late for dinner and had to head straight home. When we opened the bag, the nigiri had been packed so poorly that everything was jumbled together in a heap. We literally spent 10 minutes trying to reassemble the sushi ourselves. What disappointed us most was the way management handled the situation afterward. We called expecting that a restaurant positioning itself as upscale would want to make things right. Instead, the manager argued with us, reviewed security footage, and claimed that because we briefly checked the bag at pickup, the order must have been fine when it left the restaurant. We checked that the boxes were there -- we did not open every container because we trusted the restaurant to package the food properly. The bottom line: the dine-in experience may still be worth it because the food itself is genuinely very good, but based on our experience, order takeout at your own risk.
