Bamboo Fish - San Jose

Tiny little restaurant, really good sushi. Has a lot of options on their menu. The people are so nice.

This place was wonderful, the experience was definitely unforgettable. Both my parents have strict eating habits and the food was affordable. We ordered so much is it did not amount to what we were expecting. The servers were friendly and ready to help. When ordering make sure you know how to use QR codes to view the menu. Would definitely come again was so good I had to order seconds. Please come here to enjoy good food.

Good sushi, lousy service and worker attitude.Ordered dinner via DoorDash tonight. The Dasher dropped the food in 2 full bags. 3 of my items were missing. Call the restaurant and they admit they forgot to make 1 of them, but the other 2, they’re convinced they added to the bag. Again, 2 bags were at capacity. It’s not possible the dasher removed 2 dishes from the bag. The woman on the phone was yelling at me that I’m wrong and yelling at some employee on her side that he made a mistake. Her anger was misplaced at me and she was very rude and demanding of me, the customer who was shorted by her restaurant.The whole experience gave my group a sour taste in our mouths (despite the yumminess of the sushi). Doordash made me whole on the missing items I was charged but this was clearly restaurant error here.

So this could have been a 5 Star Yelp review. But downgrading due to the lack of service on a Friday night. I blame management, and in this case, it could just be a family owned and run business. We only had to wait 10minutes to get a table so that was good. However, the hostess taking our order was so flustered as she was the only one that was taking orders with a packed house! There were two other boys that were either cleaning the tables and seating people but not sure if they were trained to take orders. We had two friends join us spur of the moment that evening so we had a great time. No rush by the restaurant to move on. We stayed there for over 1.5hours. Not really because we wanted to, but it seemed it took a very long time to make the sushi rolls. And we had to keep tracking down our hostess to get some of the items that we ordered. So now for the good stuff. The taste of almost every roll was phenomenal. The only one I didn't like was the Slow Burn Roll, which had an interesting texture to it and no burn to it. But the other rolls and the Sashimi platter were excellent. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was to die for! One of the few places that I have been to that actually serve this. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the rolls on the menu. Total bill for 4 people ended up around $170 including 2 beers and hot tea. We were not even asked if we wanted dessert nor did we want to stay any longer. But it was great to watch the Warriors game that was on while we ate. A very cozy restaurant and the locals know this has great food. I hope the owners take note of this and at least get someone else who can wait tables.

Our favorite sushi spot. My wife and I came here on Friday night and this place was quickly packed. Service was fast and top notch as always. My favorite roll called the SJ Earthquakes is no longer on the regular menu, but it is on the daily specials menu. My wife wanted the low carb wrapped in cucumber option, but unfortunately they don't do that here. Hopefully they do that in the near future.
