• The wall color was pretty.
• Rap music, lack of menu imagination, inattentive service, average quality.

“I have to admit, I was very disappointed when I went to Bamboo. I went at about 1 p.m. in the afternoon and the place was empty. I had my husband and 4 year old with me. At first glance, decorating was minimal, not so Japanese as more Pier One but the pale green coloring was pretty. The music was less than traditional for a Sushi Bar. They had rap music blaring throughout, so loud in fact it was hard to hold a conversation. It appeared that all of the sushi rolls had crab (or Krab, imitation) which I thought showed a lack of variety as well as imagination. We tried about 6 different items on the menu and found it hard to find something for the 4 year old (who loves Japanese by the way). Service was sad. The waitress was nice enough, but lacked expertise of knowing the menu and couldn't answer questions. She was so busy talking with other employees that our drinks were never refilled, not once. The Sushi chef seemed put off by our order and took his time preparing the food. The price wasn't bad for the food received. I hope they can step it up a bit, but at this point it will be hard for them to compete with Osaka or Sake or even Jina Yoo's. I may try it again just hoping it will be better the second go round.”
