A fine place for modern Asian cuisine, famous for their Hibachi. I tried the Blackened Tuna as a starter, and the Filet Mignon & scallop hibachi as main. The flavours were amazing and the scallops & beef seared to perfection. The hibachi comes with vegetables, noodles & optional additional fried rice, so the portion is huge & easily shared between two. read more

We love this place for sushi! We enjoy the sitting at the sushi bar and have the chefs Nick, Mike & Sam make suggestions! Fantastic rolls, & sushi! We've been there 4 times and never disappointed. A year later and we still love the sushi. Great value, excellent quality & friendly staff. We visit 2 times every month! read more

Came here for lunch special, it was fresh and yummy! We ordered 12 pcs sashimi and 3 rolls , pretty filling and tastes fresh! The place was pretty empty for lunch time, but definitely want to come here again for dinner. read more

Such a great place for an in and out dine. Service is quick, sushi is great. Their drinks aren't the strongest but, other than that it's a great after work/dinner spot. I come here all the time for dinner and take out. Affordable and delicious! read more

I go to many different sushi places and this one had to be the worst, they put way too much cucumbers in my sushi roll and the fried rice was very very oily. I've had better but the costumer service was great! Very nice people food not so much read more

The sushi here was fantastic! We had the pearl roll (it had fried oysters inside and pink seaweed.. I think it was pickled). They were delicious! We also tried an eel roll and a mackerel roll.. These were good but the pearl roll was better. The staff was very friendly, the ambience was nice (the rooms were very dark with mood lighting). Side note- they do have a kids menu but it is Very dark and there was a bar right next to our table. I'm not sure I'd take kids. read more

Went there last night to celebrate my daughters birthday. I never rate anywhere we go to eat but i had to. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted with pure rudeness. We had to had to wait over 30 mins for the grill to be heated. The food was just ok. Once again the rudeness was overwhelming, we would never go back! read more

Disappointed! Chicken was half cooked and not so flavorful. No salt and pepper. Ambience was good

I cannot express enough the quality of this place. The sushi was outrageous. The salmon sashimi melted in my mouth as I ate it. It's a must go, considering I've tried a lot of sushi in this area. read more

Great quality food. Even getting Hibachi-to-go was so delicious I had leftovers at 1 am and 11 am. Don't judge me. Thank you for another wonderful meal! read more

dinner was great. Until a person on the waitstaff came and approached my friend and I about no tip on the bill. I didnt handle the bill, and may friend said she did leave a tip, we always tip, maybe it wasn't what they expected? I have no idea. BUT you do not come up to our table as we leave and accuse of of not tipping. it was totally embarrassing and unprofessional. I am in a tipping business and when I dont get tipped, i may not like it but i dont confront the person. Because tipping is not a requirement. I wont be back.

Great for happy hour drinks - 1/2 off everything (and they aren't stingy in their pours!). The $5 app menu was a dissappointment. The portions were so small that we were better off just ordering from the regular menu. The atmosphere, in regards to design and furniture, is very modern and sexy. On the otherhand, the crowd Bambu attracts is very mixed. Given the location, you would think the bar would be chock full of young professional - but it's definitely more or a "townie" bunch. Not that there's anything wrong with that! It's just worth pointing out. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the food is fresh and tastes good, but across the board the offerings are overpriced. The servers were swift and friendly. Bambu is ALMOST at 4 stars. Sadly the beautiful appearance made me set my expectations too high. read more

i'm gonna start by saying, should have gone to Koo. We came in with a 5:30 reservation only to wait 10 minutes to be sat down. Waitress did not ask how we were doing tonight or anything just "do you want something to drink", probably came to our table twice in the span of an hour and a half, took 45 min for our food to come out. we got surf and turf hibachi which had noodles so dry and tasteless. the lobster tail wasn't even to size and the food came out cold. tables are uncomfortably close together i felt like i couldn't have a conversation with my dinner guest without feeling like the whole room could here us. i will not be eating here again. read more

I've been to Bambu twice before, usually when I'm attending a convention in the area that happens in August. Both times I've been pleased with both the service and the food. Since this is a bit more of an upscale Japanese/Asian fusion restaurant (at least by my standards) there's no all you can eat sushi option, but even if it's a bit more pricy, it's worth it. The first time I went to Bambu with a couple of friends attending the con and I paid maybe $25 or so for my meal since I kept it cheap. I forget exactly which items I ordered, but the sushi was delicious and the presentation was fantastic, complete with one of those little color-changing lights. The second time I was with a large crowd of friends and even though there were a lot of us, they got everyone's order correct and brought everything out in a timely fashion. I remember that I ordered a Lychee Martini that was good and strong, even to my friends and I who are no strangers to alcoholic beverages. I went all out and got a Sushi and Sashimi entree which was absolutely delectable (sashimi is thankfully more filling than most people expect) for dinner, followed by an Exotic Bomba for dessert (I believe it's chocolate covered ice cream with passionfruit puree or something along those lines). I've had Exotic Bombas at various restaurants and this one was as good as all the others. For everything altogether (including the tip which they include in the total for you, at least for a group as large as mine was), the total came to $64. Sometimes you just gotta treat yourself and this place is definitely worth it as an occasional treat. read more

Went there with my brothers, 3 of us, we dine out together often and tried this place. We had all sushi rolls and sashimi. All was good until the the check came. We racked up a good tab, $ 294.00 including drinks but what got me was they charged for ICE in our single malt scotch after dinner drinks. They should be embarrassed, $294 before the tip and charge us for Ice? I'll never go back for that reason. read more

Loved this place. Sushi was fast and fresh. Drinks were strong and cold. Desert was sweet and warm! If I'm in the area again I'll be back. Staff was VERY attentive! Fantastic place! read more

I have personally enjoyed Bambu. The waiters and waitresses are really nice and always are around to serve. However, the food isn't always as good and fresh as it should be. For example, I usually get the sushi rolls and the fish isn't always as fresh. For getting sushi, that's one of the most important factors to not getting sick. I have stopped getting their tuna roll because it tastes way too fishy for my liking. Their other things on the menu have been okay, nothing to brag about. They also constantly mess up on take out orders. That's annoying, so I always check the bag before leaving the restaurant because of this issue. The hibachi isn't that great but the portion sizes are decent and the atmosphere is nice. I will be returning but it's not my first choice. read more

OMG! The food and presentation were outstanding! We had excellent service and we will be back. One of the owners is Nicky from Yokohama in New Milford and he is amazing. I have never had better sushi, and have eaten at a lot of sushi restaurants. He loves what he does and it shows. The freshness, quality, color and presentation are outstanding. read more

We tried this place today for an early dinner on the way home . Place is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart. Waitress was attentive and very sweet . My husband had sushi and reported it was fresh . I had the Thai basil shrimp dish which was a little spicy and had a colorful selection of veggies with shrimp . So delicious I stuffed myself to finish !! Highly recommend this little spot ! read more

Ordinary sushi. Ordinary Chinese food. The Sashimi is cut paper thin and should be twice the thickness. The pineapple fried rice , featured in a photo to come in a scooped out pineapple, came with pieces of pineapple. It's OK. read more

I am a huge sushi fan, and ran into Bambu by accident. I'm so glad I did! My friends and I went there for some steak and sushi. I had the geisha roll and some steak. I can honestly say that roll was the best sushi I have ever had. My friend got the salmon sashimi and it was also phenomenal. The steak was to die for. Everything was perfect. The ingredients were so fresh it was ridiculous. It made all the difference in the world. I don't usually post reviews, but this place deserved it. Truly amazing. read more

We went for hibachi on a Monday night. Were seated at station. We had to wait for more guests / patrons to come in and sit at our grill before they took our order. We waited over 20 minutes for ANYONE to arrive. Don't know why Bambu made us wait when the place wasn't crowded - there was only 1 other hibachi / grill station in use. Sushi servings were teeny - very small and overpriced for what you got. Hibachi chef was good natured and funny. Woman who I assume was the restaurant manager was rude and didn't seem to like us. After dinner, she took a take-out bag to the other patrons at our grill, was all nice, chit-chatted with them, bagged their left-overs and wished them a nice night. For us, she literally tossed the bag at me and told me to bag the leftovers myself. No chit-chat, no pleasantries, just plain rude. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. Food was okay, hibachi serving sizes were okay - found the food to be salty. Sushi was tiny and not a good value. read more

Flies everywhere in this place. I'll never go back. That's all I have to say. Who wants flies all around your drinks and food. Nasty!

OMG!! My boyfriend and I just ate here and the sushi rolls r freaking amazing. We had the Godzilla roll, the crazy tuna roll, and the snow mountain roll and every one was different but very very good. They even got to us really fast! Usually rolls take forever but not here. As soon as we got them we dug in and finished all three within minutes. So far this place beats them all! We also got dessert. The mochi ice cream and the exotic bomba. Both delicious!! The only thing I found wrong was the chick bartender. She had a heavy hand with the rum which sum find good but for another bartender I find it sloppy. U want to b a bartender? Do it right. But with the drink aside? I will definitely be back no question about it!! Yumm read more

TL;DR DONT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE A GROUPON Yeah I would give it 0 stars if I could. For real. The service was terrible!!! My boyfriend and I had a groupon and we were treated like shit. It took them almost half an hour for us to order our dinner. (We had hibachi). They asked us FIVE FREAKING TIMES if we wanted an apatizer and had to say no each time and ask if we could order our main course. It's been an hour and a half and I'm still here now waiting for my check. I was forced to give them a 18% "gratuity. I wish I could give them 0 tip!!!! The couple across from us got here an hour after us and left at the same time. read more

Good food - horrible staff. The employees are super rude and not friendly with the exception of the bartenders. I always order take out from here & they always over charge my credit cards. read more

It never disappoints. We were a group of 10. This was the first time we ate at the Hibachi side. Everything was delicious! The chefs were alot of fun. read more

Love their outdoor seating area! So nice. Food is pretty good. I've only ever ordered their sushi. During happy hour they have $5 rolls. Can't beat it. Their least expensive wine is really bad unfortunately. But I guess the food makes up for it! Staff is very friendly. Bathrooms are clean, good price for what you get. Also the calamari with the chili sauce is BOMB. Highly suggest that! read more

We had a birthday dinner for our daughter and made reservations for 9 of us. The food was good, however the service was horrific. Our waitress was abrasive and rude. She made it a difficult as possible to order or add items. When I asked her to take the drink menu because I was not drinking she snapped it out of my hand and then slammed it down on the table store as is I made her mad? She spoke to us as if we were bothering her and her tone was aggressive. I will be contacting the owner as we spent $400.00 AND WERE TREATED TERRIBLY read more

For a while, I stopped coming to Bambu due to the lack of quality in their sushi and just average happy hour specials. I honestly think their happy hour was the only thing keeping the previous owner in business since it was a pretty reasonable price for a massive Sapporo, among other pours. I went on hiatus for a bit, but then heard about them under new management. My buddy invited me to stop by for a drink this past weekend, so I figured I could give Bambu a second chance. The vibe when you walk in was definitely different than it once was. The lighting was something I noticed first, which bode well with the classy barlike feel, I thought that's what they were going with at happy hour at least. Everything just felt so warm, but that could also be because it's the holidays, things just felt better. One of my friends from high school bartends there and of course the night I go he's bartending, pretty nice to catch up for a bit. Along with the reasonable beer specials at Bambu, my friend also made a mean old fashioned with Bookers, one of my favorite bourbons. I also ordered a miso soup and a spicy tuna roll since I met up with the friend who invited me and few other friends I haven't seen in a while. Food wasn't bad, even though the miso soup was a bit watery. All in all, the new management really brought out the good in Bambu. I can see myself coming back for happy hours here and there. read more

Years ago at this location I had my first experience with hibachi and as a young teenager thought it was the coolest thing ever. This restaurant has been through several changes since and I had not been back in years. As I got older I got a bit bored with hibachi as I discovered the wonderful world of sushi. Last week I came back to check out the current incarnation of this old Danbury staple and was pleasantly surprised by both the hot and cold food. Dining out with my 2 brothers who are also fans of Asian food we decided to start with some sushi and have hibachi for dinner. We ordered some sushi ala carte and found it to be very fresh and tasty. For dinner we all had filet combos, mine with scallops my brothers had lobster tail. I think we all agreed that the scallops were more flavorful and tender than the lobster but everything was really good and prepared by a skilled and entertaining chef. Only draw back was that despite having draft beer (a plus) the IPA I ordered seemed to be a bit old so to follow up i ordered a can of Japanese beer and it was fine. In my opinion this is the place to come if you want good Hibachi in the area. read more

Average sushi restaurant. Went here for happy hour which was a pretty decent deal. $5 apps and cheap drinks. The interior decor was nice and made a good atmosphere. They have an outdoor patio which is nice especially in the summer on a cool night. You only get to look at traffic but hey, at least you have a drink in your hand and your not sitting in that traffic. I'd probably go back and give it another try, place was clean. read more

Rocks!! Sushi apps and fried rice kicked A. Very good. Good atmosphere and better food. Thx Bambu

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
