Bamboo Sushi

Date night mainstay. Go here at least once a month for date night. Always enjoy sitting at the sushi bar and having the chef just make random things for us. Food is amazing, service is good - especially for portland. Also one of the few places you can get the Rogue Morimoto beer on tap!…

Delicious!. I'm so surprised to read some of the negative reviews! I've been twice for happy hour and both times were excellent. I haven't had a plate there that wasn't delicious!! The Kobe Flank Steak and Vegetable Tempura are my favorites (my boyfriend loves sushi, me... not so much). We had the chocolate egg rolls for dessert - to die for. Seriously. The service has always been very attentive, considering how busy they are. We will definitely be going back. If you're going for happy hour, get there early. It fills up fast!…

Poisonous food and bad service?. Last night I was eating with my family. Our meals were decent but not as great as they have been in the past. It took forever for our server to even notice we were there. We don't eat the sushi because of the mercury content., and boy was I thankful we didn't last night. Toward the end of our meal there was a woman who was told to leave the restaurant after she became ill from something on the sushi menu. I don't know all the details, but she was sitting close to me and I saw her go all pale and take a couple of trips to the restroom. I think she asked to talk to the owner or manager. She seemed genuinely concerned and was being really calm about it. Then the manager/owner or whoever he was stood right next to me when he told her she was "86ed" for causing trouble and she could never come back to the restaurant again. Causing trouble? He seemed really proud of himself for it. I think that goes beyond bad service into some other region. The whole thing really put a damper on our family outing.

I don't know what they are thinking. I have been a number of times and their customer service has been terrible, and now I think it wasn't a coincidence but more of a practice. I have 2 friends who have had serious issues with their bills when we were at a group dinner. I know to always check my bill carefully there. I was worried about my family after seeing that woman get ill. Dinner should not include getting sick and being 86ed. I didn't even know restaurants could do that. I've only seen people get 86ed in bars if they start a fight or some other violent act. I try to support local restaurants, but I don't think I am going to recommend Bamboo Sushi Bar to anyone else.…
