We really enjoyed here. Last month I and my family went here for dinner. The sushi is good and very fresh. This place has a professional service from greeting to serving. For me, it's my High end and unique sushi experience. read more

We were cautious because Bambu was not as highly rated as several other area Japanese restaurants. But our party wanted both sushi and hibachi, so we tried it. It is not impressive from the outside and the seating in the hibachi room is a bit cramped, but there was nothing to disappoint. Service was prompt on a busy Saturday evening and everyone we interacted with was respectfully friendly--just the right note. Food was delicious and we left happy. I'm sorry others had unhappy experiences, but we'd go back in a heartbeat. There were many families there, all seeming to have a good time and enjoying good food. read more

After going to many sushi restaurants, this is by far the best sushi I've ever had! Will made us a delicious sushi platter with rolls I could have never thought of, and they were amazing! read more

Three days ago I joined a large party for a friends birthday and was so thrilled with Bambu. Our chef Jason had the best personality, had us in stitches the entire time. The food was phenomenal, as was the service. Our waitress overheard me talking to one of my pals about my sensitivity to gluten and she immediately jumped in and gave me recommendations on how to fix my meal with my allergies. Karaoke after dinner was a nice way to end things. The bouncer, Bobby, is super friendly. Very pleased and will absolutely be back. read more

As far as sushi places go, this place is great. Massive variety of rolls and other meal options and everything I have ever eaten there has been delicious. Take-out or eat-in; the service is great. Never gotten an order wrong. The building is clean and decorated beautifully. A little more expensive than other places but not crazy. Anyways, with sushi, it's always important to pay the extra for quality in my opinion. Portion sizes are pretty big. Would definitely recommend. read more

Me and my coworkers ate here every Wednesday for 11 weeks, trying different special rolls each time. We ran into various issues early on in our venture yet pressed on to finish our detailed and expansive sushi rating excel spreadsheet. While fun and a nice break to our day, the numerous order errors added up. The final straw was finding a chicken bone one week and another hard bone of unknown origin the next. While painful, we realize many relationships must end for others to begin. read more

Bambu Modern Asian - Our in depth rating of special rolls throughout the months. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Excellent bar service and food, same owners as Yokohama. Sushi is must if you are visiting this restaurant, hibachi is also incredible! I visit this restaurant once or twice a week! read more

The service was so slow that it took us 25 minuets to leave because we never got our 4 shots. I will NEVER go here again

I've eaten here a few times and decided its time I write a review. This place is delicious. I've eaten at another sushi restaurant down the road, but Bamboo is, hands down, better. The bar is my favorite place to sit and you will not be disappointed if Bobby is your bartender. Great personality, which I appreciate especially when you're dining alone. read more

Really good sashimi .... definitely better than elsewhere in Danbury, Bethel, or Ridgefield. As good as you get in NYC. Was not busy on a Monday evening. Only a few tables occupied and maybe 5- 6 people around a large bar. However the service was excellent. Great find, can't wait to return... I'll bring friends next time. It was puzzling to me that their overall Yelp rating was less than 4 stars, but I think it was not due to the sushi, as many other reviews mention best sushi they had in a long time. read more

They have a bar tender who might just be the most obnoxious person on earth. The first time I visited was a Sunday around dinner time (6pm) and just sat at the bar looking to get a fast bite to eat. The bar tender was the only person behind the bar and for about 20 minutes he ignored my requests for a menu and talked LOUDLY with what I'm assuming were his friends (maybe they were random people he just wanted to share his life story with Idfk). I got fed up with being ignored so I left. A few days later I went back around 1 pm for lunch. They were basically empty so I figured I'd sit at the bar again. To my surprise it's the same bartender, albeit this time he has one "friend" sitting at the bar who he's spewing his entire life story to. This time he actually noticed me and gave me a menu; I still had to give my order to one of the waitresses that was roaming, but at least I got my food put in. While I'm waiting for my lunch, the bartender is giving his "friend" free drinks and telling him he'd "cover" his meal. He was conversing SO LOUDLY, which is one of my pet peeves, and I could hear his entire life story about how is fiancé is a pathological liar and he's a recovering addict trying to get straight. I'm really sorry your life sucks but please dude shut up. The third time I intentionally sat as far away from the bar as possible and I had a great meal. Good sushi, good Japanese fare, stay as far as humanly possible away from the bar as possible! read more

The staff are knowledgable about gluten allergy and great at accommodating. They can prepare the hibachi dishes in the kitchen.

Disappointing service. Food was good as well as the hibachi chef. Waitress at our table tonight on 3/3/18 was terrible. She brought our drinks at the end of our dinner, forgot our sushi appetizer and charged us for extra items. We pointed them out on the check and when she brought back revised check, it was still incorrect. We were them asked to leave because other people were waiting. What? We were still finishing the drinks that were brought to our table right before our check was dropped!! Makes no sense! The manager was the one kicking us out. Bad experience. Too bad. Sushi and food was pretty good. read more

I love this restaurant, food is hands down delicious, I'm a huge fan of their sushi rolls, very creative with the ingredients. Highly recommend the sweet heart roll. Seasoning is perfect not too salty or bland. Waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Love love love. read more

The service here is really good, 5 stars all the way. I love the staff they are very nice, helpful and quick. I really like this unassuming sushi spot. I rarely have to wait for a seat and if I do, it's pretty short (for the restaurant, not sure about the hot tables). Food comes out super fast. read more

Last Saturday, I was with a group of nine family members for my nephew's 10th birthday. Obviously, a hibachi restaurant would not be my first choice for a dining experience on a Saturday night, but this is where the kid wanted to go. After being seated 20 minutes after our 7:00pm reservation, we had been at the table less than one minute when the server came around and asked us if we knew what we wanted to order. Really? This was the first sign that the only thing that this restaurant cares about is turning its tables. After being rushed through a marginal meal, prepared by our Mexican chef (so much for authenticity), the check was slammed on our table. We were not even asked if we wanted dessert. My nephew was crushed as he was expecting a birthday cake. The manager came over when he saw that we were getting agitated, and he said and I quote, "We need this table; you need to leave." Wow. When we explained that it was my nephew's birthday, he said that we could all move to another table and order it there. Again. Wow. After dropping over $400 on crap food, we were literally being rudely evicted from our table. Then when my nephew started to cry, he offered to bring us some cake. What my nephew received was a cold piece of chocolate cake that had barely thawed. Mind you, none of the rest of us were provided with any cake or dessert. Simply amazing. There are plenty of decent hibachi places, but sadly this is NOT one of them. I suggest that you avoid this dump at all costs. You've Been Warned! read more

Sushi (spicy crab roll & Godzilla roll) was excellent, service was good. We were served quickly.

Unfortunately I need to update my 4 star review as my coworkers and I ate Bambu every Wednesday for 11 weeks but whose counting! We used the whole 3 strikes your out rule and unfortunately the last strike was a small bone in the hibachi chicken meal. First strike was inconsistency in each rolls description, second strike was a pebble? Or something of that nature in a roll and yes unfortunately it was found the hard way. For those reasons we will no longer be dining at Bambu. read more

This place is alright. Hibachi was ok. Sushi was ok. Service was ok. There is nothing wrong with the food it just isn't anything to write home about. I think hibachi is all about the dipping sauces and the flare of the show. The hibachi sauces were the most disappointing of all; not great. And, the hibachi show wasn't that entertaining; not many tricks and tricks that were done were tired and slow. If you like sushi, check out Ki Asian Bistro. read more

I wish I could give them NO star. Rudest people in the world. Walked in once and there was nobody to greet us. Shouted "hello?" and still nobody. Left. Came back a few days later to give them a second chance because of all the great reviews. Again, no one at the door to greet us. We made our way to the bar and asked the bartender if we were to seat ourselves and he just waved to a seat like we were pesky little flies. UM HELLO? We were willing to spend good money and we happen to be very generous at tipping! Your loss! Oh, if you're craving sushi after 10 you're shit out of luck because they say they're open until 1-2am but their kitchen closes at 10. read more

Rude staff, throws bowls on table. Went for hibachi. Manager not on site. Tip added by default for garbage service... Save money and your evening go to a better place. This place has severe attitude problems read more

Buyer beware for those sheltering during COVID. I placed an order for pickup at 6:30pm. My delivery driver arrived at the restaurant at 7:30pm and the restaurant told them that they were closing at 8. What happened to my order, placed an hour earlier? The answer is, they never made it. read more

Visiting from out of town and stopped by. Staff was very nice but I have to say I was underwhelmed. We ordered both sushi and regular entrées. The food was presented very well, but was kind of mediocre. For the teriyaki, it was really just ok. The sushi was better. The dining room is pretty, but the noise level was quite high. Ok experience but not what I was expecting based on the reviews. read more

Good but not great sushi. Started with steamed shrimp dumplings, not the best choice as they were bland and fairly flavorless. For my entree selected the sushi deluxe which was one tuna roll and 9 pieces of sashimi. It was solid, the white fish wasn't anything special but the rest of the the pieces were good. In particular the partially cooked tuna was delicious. At the end of the meal I was satisfied and I would totally go back. read more

Haven't been to this type of restaurant since I lived in Japan. Although very pricey it was a fantastic experience for the family since it was their first time. Everything from the atmosphere to the chef was outstanding. He put on a particular nice show for the kids. The interaction by Chef Ivan with our kids was fantastic. My son who is very subdued really came out of shell during the meal. Overall, try to go as we did for a late lunch early dinner when the place is less busy. A bit pricey even with a $60 off Groupon. They get you because with this Groupon you must order adult entrees although you have young children. But we will be going back again. I did hear some disturbing things about the distribution of the tips by the owners. I hope it is not true. read more

Recently visited here for the first time and I'm impressed. The atmosphere and bar was very quaint but modern. Food was very good despite the fact service was very slow. The sushi chef even custom made my favorite roll from back home. read more

Love this restaurant the best Japanese restaurant around!! The food is delicious the restaurant is clean and staff is friendly!!

Pretty good food, prices are right in line the the competition, the drinks are just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

loverly. Bambu has been redeemed! i gave them some time to work out their quirks with the new owner exchange. and they have! very nicely indeed! i love menus with pictures lol. so work peeps and i gave bambu another shot. the menu is very extensive (a bit too much- but what eve.) we shared some apps and sushi rolls: fresh soft shell crabs, tuna sesame salad, fried oysters, curry seafood soup, and then they brought a kana salad as an app. all were yum- and very almost thai inspired- the kani salad had some fresh mango/papaya- the tuna was my fav- with seared sesame tuna, strawberries- it also had some white sauce on it- which prob could have been better without- but what-ev- still very good. We then shared a few rolls: (I was with non raw fish eaters- hence the cooked rolls)- but we had the India Roll- yellowtail, tuna, banana,- lightly fried, Awesome Roll- sea bass topped with a wonderful piece of blackened tuna, philly roll, cali, and avocado rolls. also salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi. lovin the temp the sashimi was served at. proper. i actually am loving what these new owners are doing. a lot of different offerings. and they are very accommodating. a wonderful selection for all palates. (sushi and non sushi)- and if you are a true sushi connoisseur- they will cater to that and offer you the fresh selections and more appropriate offerings. super awesome job bambu. will def be back! oh- and the dessert menu looks great- make sure you leave room!! read more

See all

This used to be my favorite sushi place around town . Went tonight with my spouse , great sushi. Bartender Leo was extremely rude . Never asked if we wanted a second drink /dessert but instead he threw the check at us. Tipped out of courtesy to the industry but he well didn't deserve it and we are never returning to this establishment . read more

Fresh sushi but overpriced and not a very good selection/variety of original rolls.

Went here for the second time Sarurday night about 8 with boyfriend and sat at the bar. The atmosphere is very friendly and laid back, it can however get a little loud. I don't eat sushi (boyfriend does) so I ordered the beef filet. He had a few rolls and really enjoyed them. I could not say enough about the filet. It literally melts in your mouth, and the mushroom sauce is delish as well, really enhances the meat flavor. Came back for second time and we both had the filet, and again it was superb! We will definetly be back! read more

Came here for lunch today. Service was excellent, my crazy tuna roll was delicious and the Sam Adams Cold Snap was great. Will be back soon! read more

Bambu Modern Asian - Crazy tuna roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

The place is good as far as potential. All bartenders are great but "gina". I can look past inattentive service but when she talked to regulars it was pretty distasteful and offensive to pretty much to anyone in any gender or race. She drinks openly every shift and its okay because there are no managers there. One older male regular will ruin your experience while being loudly needy of everyones attention. Real buzz kill! Its a shame bc food was great crowd was good and all other bartenders were great read more

Bambu is great for sushi and hibachi. The heaven roll (with shrimp and banana tempura) is amazing here- a must try! This place is great for hibachi and it has a nice bar atmosphere. My only complaint is the bathrooms are always gross. I've seen a dirty toilet cleaner sitting out, and there have been times when they have been out of toilet paper. Other than that, this place is definitely on my regular place to go for Sushi. read more

We had an amazing dinner from start to finish. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious! For desert we tried the fried bananas and fried green tea ice cream which were both excellent! We would definitely recommend Bambu read more

I've been there twice since new owners took over. Great service and the hibachi was wonderful portions are healthy and food was delicious. The drinks weren't fabulous but I'd go for the food. Definitely recommend. Love the decor and ambiance read more

The menu is labeled incorrectly as some of the rolls listed contain crab. However, after receiving them, it was huge strips of imitation crab. YUCK! The salmon in the roll also wasn't fresh, as it tasted very fishy. Fresh salmon never tastes fishy. I also ordered the tuna sashimi, which I order frequently from other places. As soon as I received it I could tell it wasn't fresh. It was brown in color, which means it was heavily oxidized. Also, the sushi "chef" also didn't know how to cut it, as it contained heavy amounts of the blood line which made it crunchy. I took one bite, and it was completely inedible. The manager was extremely nice, apologetic, and handled the situation well. However, he had the sushi chef come over. This was a huge mistake as it was obvious he didn't know what he was talking about. He advised that big eye tuna is always brown in color, and that it's impossible to cut sashimi from this fish without getting the bloodlines. The last disappointment was the kobe beef burger I ordered. It was only $15, so I should have known better. It for sure was not kobe, it was overcooked, and it wasn't even seasoned. The inside of the restaurant is nice, but it's a shame they don't have a good sushi chef or fresh fish. I definitely wouldn't eat there again. read more

Similar to their other location in new Milford "Yokohama", Bambu has a great sushi. The spicy cowgirl roll is my favorite!!

I was in town for a week for work and got takeout from here twice, it was so good!! The lobster dishes are really good, the shrimp shumai is amazing hot but also stays good for a heated up leftover the next day. Tiramisu is a must! The staff was really friendly over the phone when I ordered and in person when I picked up. Very speedy as well, about 10-15 min wait. read more
