Recommended for lunches. Food is tasty, decor is nice, service is polite but very slow. If your group has more than 6, expect to be here for a minimum of 1.5 hours over a weekday lunch.

Good. Nice place and food mostly good. Sushi very good. Lemongrass grill items super. Like the beef and oyster mushrooms. Chow mein is ok but could be better. Noddles don't have much crispy factor.

Delicious!. I was worried when I saw the reviews here, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had baby bok choy which were delightfully gingerly and the salt and pepper shrimp and tofu which was hot and fresh. the service was a little slow (but the food came quickly! , however our waiter was nice and seemed busy. I would definitely return!

Great Dim sums. Large portions and value for money. Need to go more often as they have a lot of dishes. Service was good too.

I love the sushi !!! The sushi is fresh and amazing. I highly reccomend going there if you are a sushi lover. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is great! You can get dressed up or be casual. I always find the servers extremely helpful and they provide great service.

Bambu offers a vibrant dining atmosphere with a diverse menu featuring sushi and Asian dishes. Patrons rave about the freshness of the sushi, generous portions, and friendly service. Popular items include the signature sushi rolls and lemongrass grill selections. However, some diners report inconsistency in quality, particularly with dishes like chow mein and Szechuan chicken, which lacked distinctive flavor profiles. While the restaurant provides ample parking and accessibility, cleanliness and service can vary. Overall, Bambu is a decent choice for casual dining, though guests may want to manage expectations regarding meal quality and service consistency.

Generous portion and the waitress was super friendly!I like spicy food so Thai Basil Beef was recommended to me and it was super delicious! It went well with white rice! Friendly waitress also offered me some chopped up hot peppers to add in my soy sauce for sushi. Friends were happy with their chicken dish and sushi as well. Other than the food, we also liked their Asian decor and how spacy it is in this restaurant! Plenty of free parking on site is a bonus too.

We 've had some fun and good times at Bambu restaurant, but last night 's Anniversary Dinner was a disappointment. The server was snappy and rushed and literally ran away from us 3 times during our order saying: I 'll give you 5 minutes! . I got the wrong soup, and my husband 's Shanghai noodles were very greasy and bland. The preprogrammed tip options of 18, 21, and 25% didn 't seem to fit the level of service received. The Sushi, soup, and tempura were good. Service has been excellent other times with a much more experienced and friendlier server. Perhaps the new hires can get some hospitality and friendliness training?

The sushi I ordered was okay, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. What was disappointing was the wait time for our food; it took quite a while to arrive. On the positive side, the ambiance was great, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.

? Caution ? not worth the prices! Food is mediocre and the cleanliness of the place leaves much to be desired! Staff is friendly, that’s about the only good thing! Keep in mind that I asked our waitress if they’d had a very busy day? She replied “god no! It’s been super slow!” So, I now leave you with this explanation for my review! The sushi bar display case (fridge) looked disgusting! It like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week! Bathrooms were the same, terrible conditions! The floor of the restaurant over all was dirty!Now for the food, the BBQ Pork steamed buns were good, their signature bambú sushi roll, was super bland and nothing special, specially for the price! The Cantonese Chow Mein barely had any flavour, vegetables were crispy!At the end I asked the waitress what percentage of Asian people go to the restaurant to eat, she replied “we serve about 10% Asian, not a lot come here!” Having worked with Asian people since young, one tale tale sign that the food and that the restaurant is good, is that they support the restaurant and a lot of them go there to eat!Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible wheelchair entrance.Dietary restrictions: They acomódate to your restrictions

Great restaurant! We were impressed by the quality. The proteins were delicate and beautifully spiced and very filling. The Riverside role was also delicious. The server was courteous and friendly!

I could not recommend ENOUGH! The staff there is wonderful ESPECIALLY Christy she was the sweetest waitress and made our entire night. That woman needs a raise for being so accommodating and an overall good time to be around!! Food was amazing as always and they never fail to disappoint with their sushi in boats. Had an awesome time, perfect for a night out with the girls, date night, family night, anything!

Went on Saturday. It was quiet. No one was out on the patio. Had the Chicken Pad Thai. It was excellent. Different flavour from the usual Pad Thai. Had a bit of a tingle to it as well. Had a red wine Sangria with it. Very fruity and tasty. It was not dry at all. Will definitely be back!

I will give it two stars not for the quality of food which is usually quite good but more for the availability of food and the hit or miss service....

I visited the restaurant with a friend on Wine Wednesday and had a wonderful experience. The customer service was exceptional, and the sushi was incredible; I even ordered a second round! I left feeling totally satisfied and full.
