    This place is really nice inside and in a very nice area. The parking lot it's around is huge and is free! The vibes are good and it kinda has a good view of the sky for sunset hours. The sushi itself? It's like any other sushi place, nothing extremely out of the ordinary. It's a little pricey because of the new building. I don't see us coming back because there are much better places honestly. Service was kinda bad, we were waiting for a long time until someone finally asked us if we wanted water. When I say a long time, I mean like 30 minutes and they weren't all that busy.

    I go here all the time, it's in Persimmon place and upstairs. We went Saturday Afternoon and didn't have reservations but were seated immediately, which is surprising. The fish quality was great and the prices were pretty standard for sushi, around $18-24 per roll. Service was also good, they were nice and attentive. The place was also pretty clean, and is near Boba Guys and Salt and Straw for those that also like a sweet treat after a meal :)

    Came here to celebrate my bday with my friend! I chose this restaurant before it's Gluten free friendly. We got few nigiris and they were very fresh. We also got a king tide roll. I wish I had asked because the sauce was actually spicy which I can't have. I hope they will indicate that in the menu if the dish is spicy. Overall, I liked it and will come and try other stuff!

    Bamboo Sushi has good service, but the food wasn't really to my taste. I tried the cheeseburger, which was a little greasy, and overall the flavors didn't quite hit for me. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is nice, but the food itself didn't impress.

    Tldr: nice restaurant with good food (not amazing) and great service. I'd come back We ordered: - Crispy Garlic Tofu: flavor is good and tofu is a bit crispy - The unicorn: this role is okay. I'm not a fan of the jalapeno sauce. Overall, it's not really flavorful in my opinion. - Friday The 13th: I like this role. It's delicious and the crunchy tempura is a nice touch - 7 spiced calamari: it has good flavor and the sauce is yummy too - Crispy rice - Spicy tuna: this is not as good as what I thought. The rice wasn't crispy. It was just chewy.

    This is going to be one of our top sushi places. Bamboo's website pushes their sustainability goals along with Monterey Aquarium, MSC and several other certifications. We have been spoiled by our fish purveyor that really liked Back Glory Bay and Ora King Salmon from New Zealand. Both of these are sustainably farmed and are sushi grade. Bamboo is one of the few places I have found that states how they source their fish. Our server was friendly and asked regularly how we were doing. They were busy tonight and the only place we could get was the sushi bar which is always fun when you can talk with the chef especially when the chef knew what they were doing (Brent). My wife's take was the salmon sushi was the best she had tasted. The restaurant had a nice layout with a fun vibe. We recommend Bamboo sushi and will be back. This may become our most popular sushi place.

    We went walk-in on Saturday luckily we got a table. We tasted all these sushi dishes, they all were super tasty. I would go here again to try their other flavors. Good place to plan your dinner with your friends and family.

    I ordered the chirashi and was shook by how terrible the quality of the fish and rice were. None of it tasted fresh--every piece was dry, and several had a fishy flavor. The salmon was unusual; it had the texture of smoke salmon which is so off for a chirashi bowl. The crab pieces tasted like saltwater. The only item that felt acceptable was the ikura (salmon roe). The rice was also a huge letdown. It lacked seasoning and needed much more rice vinegar and mirin for proper flavor. This was easily the worst chirashi and sushi I've ever had. Also tried the wagyu burger, which was very underseasoned. It lacked salt and we needed to add it in order for it to have some flavor. Service was great, but to call this sushi is honestly offensive.

    Food, service, drinks, AND full menu is Gluten Free!!!!! Can't express how much I enjoyed my 1st visit!!! Everything was exceptional!!!

    Green machine sauce is definitely the star of this restaurant. It's very addicting and a must try, I recommend the green machine roll! The wagyu burger was also quite tasty with a jammy and runny egg. The taro chips were very tasty and crunchy, definitely unique and very good!

    We were lucky enough to dine here during Restaurant Week and tried the menu. I remember passing by this spot when visiting Portland and didn't get to try it so happy it's in San Ramon! Ambiance is nice and modern- we had to wait a bit for our table and glad we got a spacious area in the back with our toddler. It was busy and our server was very knowledgeable and nice but he got a bit slammed and I had to request water refills multiple times. Quality of the food was good- fish was fresh, rolls were creative, wagyu burger was tasty, and the restaurant week menu was a good deal given the original higher priced menu. I'd like to try more of the rolls next time!

    The host and waitress I had tonight was excellent! Very kind and efficient staff, I had a problem with my water and it got swapped out immediately. 10/10 for service and hospitality. The food itself looks really pretty, but it borders between good and okay. Got the Setto tonight which comes with 6 pc nigiri + 9 pc sashimi -- 5/5 This was very tasty, especially the salmon sashimi, salmon and octopus nigiri, wonderfully done. Spicy tuna crispy rice -- 5/5 Tasty treat, crispy exterior and soft inside, good portion and flavor for spicy tuna topping. Salmon hosomaki roll -- 3/5 Just the standard salmon sashimi wrapped in rice and seaweed, it's okay. Green machine -- 5/5 This is the best vegetarian roll I've ever had, so yummy! Sunset roll -- 3/5 Tasted just like the tuna crispy rice topping, not too exciting. They also serve a salad at the beginning and that was really refreshing! 5/5 Water -- 2/5 Tasted like detergent, got a new water and it tasted just like tap, some restaurants water is better than others, this is probably the worst thing I had tonight; but if you don't care about the water, Bamboo is fantastic. Great interior lighting, friendly staff, and good food.

    The service was great our waitresses and servers were really personable and attentive. The place has interesting smell to it but it's not fishy it something else that kinda threw me off but other than that ambiance was very welcoming. Perfect lighting on a summer day i definitely wanna come back and try more things. Price wise I think you get very nice presentation for same price as other sushi places. They also have allergen warnings on their menus and accommodate for no cross contamination. 8.5/10 I'm looking forward to trying more! Also I notice they give room temperature water out which Im not used too. I'm not from area so I was wondering is that's a local thing but I thought worth mentioning. You may have to ask for ice!

Just to note, there's at least two other sushi places around here, with one across the street and one just down the street in the shopping center next to this one, there' no shortages of sushi spots here. However, with Senro Sushi, if you want affordability it's probably one of the more affordable ones out of all 3 in this area. The place itself is pretty big, with lots of seating inside and very spacious all around with a pretty massive sushi bar area. They are staffed well overall, as even when you go in the morning there's usually a couple of servers at least, and several sushi chefs behind the sushi bar counter area, prepping fish, cutting, making sushi and etc. The service here is pretty good overall. Haven't had any issues. The menu here is, pretty big. They have a bit of everything that's not just sushi options of course. I've tried several things here already, so let me just go through each thing. The lunch bento is probably the best bang for your buck here. Compared to the other sushi spots, you won't be able to find one as cheap as them, and the amount of stuff you get here with it is pretty good too. This bento box does come with miso soup and also a tasty salad (dressing is yummers). You will also get a California Roll with it, which is amazing because their California here is actually quite tasty. One of the better ones hands down. You have the option to choose two other things from the menu (if you choose to go with 2 items), and decide what you want. I've tried the chicken teriyaki, the chicken katsu, and the tempura. All have been good. Hands down what you should get if you're here at that time on a weekday. The Agadashi tofu was just okay. Wasn't terrible, but felt their dashi was really bland, and the tofu itself wasn't fried that well. It needs to be more crisp to avoid it just falling apart when moist. Also, the batter they used just didn't have any flavor to it at all. It was okay. The sushi roll we got was yum. I don't really have much else to say about it other than that it was good. The fish was fresh, the spicy fish was good, and the sauces blended well. Good. The chicken egg don was not great. We had actually mistakenly ordered this instead of the katsudon, and this was just awful. The chicken didn't feel well cooked, the broccoli was just straight steamed with no sauce on it. The egg was overcooked, and not even remotely fluffy for what this is supposed to be. Just overall not at all what I had expected. Overall, Senro is a great spot for affordable sushi options in this area in San Ramon. While it's not going to offer anything super flashy, which the sushi spot in the shopping center across the street may offer, it's also going to be much less of a bill here when all said and done. The bento boxes are hands down the best option here for those here on a weekday lunch. The sushi rolls here are also great. Some of the other stuff we had were just, okay, but overall, was a nice experience here right near the Crow Canyon freeway exit.

First of all, Yelp should do something about restaurants begging customers for reviews. People come here based on those ratings, spend a lot of money, and end up with an experience like this. I genuinely don't understand how this place has such high reviews. Normally, even at a bad restaurant, there's at least one dish that's decent. Here, there wasn't a single item I would order again. The nigiri was served at room temperature, which immediately raised concerns. The sushi rolls had an unpleasantly sticky rice texture that completely ruined the bite. Almost every appetizer tasted like frozen, pre-packaged food, and even those weren't prepared well. The shrimp tempura was overcooked and the shrimp was tough. The takoyaki had no flavor at all. The fried dumplings were soggy instead of crispy. The kappa roll and avocado roll looked nothing like the photos. They were ridiculously oversized, almost as if they were trying to fill people up with rice instead of making good ingredients. They honestly looked unappetizing before I even took a bite. The udon was simply bad. The soba was even worse--it had a sour, spoiled taste. I took one sip of the broth and immediately spat it out. The service issue wasn't the server's fault. The restaurant had only one server handling an all-you-can-eat operation, so every dish took forever to arrive, and even getting the check took an incredibly long time. Finally, the restroom smelled so terrible that it completely killed what little appetite I had left. It was difficult to even walk inside because of the odor. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. It wasn't just disappointing--it was a complete waste of money.
