Best

I just moved to the midtown area and on my first night we went out for dinner as my entire apartment was packed in boxes... we ate at Bamboo, the sushi here was fresh, delicious, ...

Worst

Chicken was over cooked and had bones in it. Shush was OK. Place is a little run down. Reasonable priced. Pros: reasonable priced Cons: food below average

Superb. 8/20/2006

Happened to walk by this place this past Friday night on my way home and was drawn in by the music and the colorful crowd out front smoking and enjoying a flaming ""Volcano Bowl"" drink. The bar is f*#&(@ing fantastic. The bartender was hilarious, friendly and full of suggestions (and made quite the tasty mojito, I might add!!), the sushi chef was more than happy to oblige, and I even got a chance to say ""hello"" and ""good work"" to the manager Abe, who invited me back. What a place! Ended up calling up friends and spending the night chilling, listening to some great tunes, eating some great sushi (the bartender recommended the sushi sandwich-- great choice!), and having a great time. Will def be back... ESPECIALLY FOR HAPPY HOUR!! The bartender with glasses was a riot. Wish I remembered his name... too many mojitos!! LOL Pros: Mojitos, Sushi, Music Cons: No one told me sooner! more

incredible sushi. ultra fresh, ultra unique, ultra good. 7/27/2006

this new sushi lounge/bar is very cool. plenty of room to lounge and smoke (if you like). the outside garden is very relaxing. the inside is modern chic, but comfortable. i love the flavored strawberry and mango mojitos. come for happy hour and they are half priced. i cant get enough of the sushi. my favorite is the sushi sandwich. nothing like i have tasted before. very original. the crowd is mixed, so there is someone for everybody. tip the sushi chef well and he will deep fry a live mini-crab before your eyes. so tasty. this one will be around for a long time.\r ps. live dj's make every night a happening party. Pros: sushi, mojitos, garden Cons: not open for lunch more

Yahoo for Bamboo 52! 7/26/2006

Even better than it looks! This place is hot, hot, hot! Stylish, sleek & comfortable, with amazing sushi (original & classics) as well as the best happy hour (5 hours) in town. Outrageous original cocktails...got to sample the new Volcano Bowls, awesome! The lounge is great after work or on Sunday nights. Their bamboo garden is the perfect place to chill with friends after a long day. Goodlooking people abound, even the staff. Video screens with outstanding visuals combined with great live DJ's make for the perfect atmosphere. They even have original paintings by a hot new artist, very cool. We love this place. You'll be seeing us there every week! more

Amazing sushi and great happy hour! 7/4/2006

Trendy new sushi restaurant in the heart of hells kitchen- Great ambiance and wonderful service. There is a 5 hour happy hour with extremely fair pricing as well as a beautiful garden in the back. I must say that my favorite drinks are their frozen lychee cosmo aa well as the mint saketini. As for sushi the specialty rolls were some of the best I have ever had including a unique spicy sushi sandwich made of Spicy tuna, Avocado, Eel and White American Cheese surrounded by a top and bottom layer of rice. Overall a great experience and definitely recomended for anybody who likes fresh sushi and refreshing drinks for very reasonable prices. more

Editorial

  • In Short
    This sushi joint straddles two lines: It's right in between Hell's Kitchen and midtown, and its design falls somewhere between a lounge and a restaurant. Cube chairs, a long bar...
