She is very passionate about the menu and is very attentive to everyone. Thankfully, as our food was served she was there to explain that the best way to experience the chef's creation is to eat it as it presented (without soy sauce) first. She went on to explain that each dish is created with specific textures and flavors in mind to create an intentional balanced bite. She is absolutely correct and I am so glad we listened. In fact, after trying the "second" bite with soy sauce, we recognized that it was much better without it. The soy sauce is homemade and delicious but the sushi is so perfectly executed, it really does not need anything at all to shine. This is not your average sushi joint. The food and service will blow you away. Get the Princess Peach Roll if it's available. The Tiger Roll and the Flame Touch were also fantastic. Hint: the tiger roll comes with lemon slices on top - do not remove the lemon. Trust me.

We didn't have reservations but were easily seated in a booth in the side dining room. Bamboo's menu is very deep and boasts Chinese, Japanese, Thai, sushi, tempura, Bento boxes and more- easily 100 options. Our group decided on a miso soup ($3.50), a Hot and Sour Soup ($3.95), an order of Chicken Tempura ($21 with an included miso soup), an order of Lemongrass Tofu ($15.50), and an order of Tuna Avocado Tartar ($14.95). I had the Hot and Sour Soup and Lemongrass Tofu. I judge H&S soup by its broth, and this was excellent. Deep flavor, none of the watery blandness I see more than once in a while. And it was hot temperature wise and fairly hot spiciness wise. It was meatless, but it packed a lot of vegetables, egg threads, tofu and more. The Lemongrass Tofu included a very generous portion of fried tofu triangles served "Hot & spicy with red & green peppers, red onion & mushrooms in a spicy lemon grass sauce" and a cup of rice. I enjoyed it a lot -the veggies were plentiful, the sauce had a mild spicy burn, and the tofu was tender and delicious. Half of the portion came home with me. I did try an onion ring from my wife's tempura dish and was struck by the lack of oiliness to it. Some tempuras are served with an oil slick in the dish and pieces that glisten like a sky full of stars. The tempura onion I had was great. It was very tender with a crunchy delicious dry batter. Service was excellent, from the moment we approached the hostess station, to being walked to our table, to water glasses and refills, to ordering, to several check-backs, to delivery of our take-out boxes, to the check presentation. Shout out to our server Alyssa, she was great. We had a wonderful experience at Bamboo.

We ended up going to happy hour on a Saturday which was a nice surprise. We ordered for appetizers the scallion pancakes, crab rangoon and pork gyoza which all was super good and tasted fresh. For sushi we ordered the Sakura Roll which was my favorite, the orange dragon roll which tasted good, but I think could have used more of the orange sauce. We also ordered the sweet potato roll and spicy tuna roll. The sushi tasted so good and fresh. What I really enjoyed was seeing the interactions between local/regular customers and the staff. Very warm and makes me want to continue to support this particular local business. Plus the food was great. I will definitely be back!

Yellowtail avocado roll. Eel sushi and pork gyoza The tuna roll wasn't that exciting. But I mean, it's a tuna roll lol. The avocado in the yellowtail was perfection. I think these are the best dumplings in this area - I have tried many. The eel was definitely the best eel I've had probably anywhere. And I've eaten more than my fair share. The staff was really nice while I went in and ordered and waited. The wait time was pretty fast! Will definitely go back. And hopefully remember to take photos before Dad and I devour.

They definitely have gluten free soy sauce. Staff is great in answering any questions. Give it a try! I'd say go on a non busy hour of the day so you can find parking easier. When it gets busy .. it gets busy! But I'll be looking forward to going back again!
