Bamboo Sushi LoHi

Let me preface this review by saying I don't eat seafood. Don't get me wrong I love sushi... but I only eat vegetarian sushi so if that makes me lose all credibility in your eyes you can stop reading now. Still with me? Okay good! Now let me start by saying for my vegetarians out there, they have one of the largest selections of vegetarian menu options I have seen at a sushi restaurant. Seriously they get a 10/10 for that! My sister and I tried this place on a whim and were so pleasantly surprised. You can see everything we order pictured below. We arrived around 6pm on a Tuesday and were sat and greeted immediately by our lovely server and because we were in a bit of a hurry we ordered right away. The food was brought out as it was ready-- which we loved! and timed perfectly. Loved the vibe of this location as well. Now for the food. Get the spicy edamame. It was some of the absolute best I've ever had! You can't tell by the picture but there was chili oil in the bottom of the bowl and once you mixed it all together it became perfection. The avocado nigiri was exquisite as well. Okay and don't even get me started on the tempura cauliflower... like WOW. Incredible. Amazing. Give me 14 of em right now......now onto the things we didn't ~love~ the smashed avocado crispy rice was good! A little cold and chewy and kind of reminded me of avocado toast but not a total bust, just probably not the dish for me, no big deal! BUT the real villain of the evening was the green machine roll. Don't be fooled by the enticing description on the menu. It was foul. And I mean look at it, it looks as if my cat threw up on it. Absolutely no hate to the people who like this roll but it made us gag. It was so putrid I'm having a hard time putting it into words. I think the roll without the sauce would have actually been perfect but the sauce on top was oddly sweet and earthy but not the good kind of earthy, the kind of earthy where your dog just took a steamy hot pile of caca and then it rained. That kind of earthy.Other than that one tiny thing... everything else was incredible!! 5 stars!! Totally go here! Just steer clear of the green machine roll. I wouldn't even give it to my worst enemy.

It was a terrible evening to be in Denver downtown because of the big concert going on there and even though Bamboo shoot is farther away from the action, finding a parking spot there was next to impossible. We probably drove around in circles for half an hour before we found a spot. It worked out that we had driven over early, else we would have been late for our reservation. So just be mindful of the parking situation around Bamboo shoot. We got seated soon and greeted by our server. She took our order of drinks. However the drinks took a while to come to our table. To their end, they were quite busy. I had the Kindred spirit for my drink and it was enjoyable and unique. There was a faint hint of the lychee and am not sure how the toasted rice adds to the drink..nonetheless very tasty. It can get very loud in there or maybe it was that day because of how busy they were.For our sushi, we ordered multiple rolls - Unicorn, Bamboo dragon, Garden of eden, Hoki poke box and Fry tide. They are all on the pricey side but I think at par with Denver pricing.The rollss were all well made - as in the rolls held up and the fish was fresh and each kind was tasty. But our favorite was the Hoki Poke box. We wanted to order dessert but our server seemed to have vanished and never came by to check on us. Eventually we had to flag another server to help us out. She got our order of Matcha pana cotta for dessert and handed us the check with an apology. She even comp'ed the dessert because we had been waiting for so long. The pana cotta was delicious and at a perfect sweetness level. If not for the unnecessary wait post dinner, this would have been a great experience for us.

It's been a long time since I've been to Bamboo Sushi and I wondered why I haven't written a review! Some details may be a bit fuzzy but I do remember how I felt that cold December night and how there were a good amount of people there when we showed up.The first thing I always remember is how the restaurant's environment made me feel and how we were treated. The interior felt traditional yet modern to many izakayas found in Japan. Waitstaff was certainly top notch and it was such a joy to be welcomed to dine.The next things on the list are food. I remember the chicken karaage-like bao. didn't care for the mint all too much but the rest of the dish was good. We also tried some Asian-Fusion type rolls that also did really well. Even the traditional nigiri was cut masterfully and tasted great!Have a look at the pictures for a better idea of what they offer. A return trip is long overdue and I'm glad reminiscing with old photos led me back to Yelp. time to get on the ball and plan the next reservation!

Good vibe here, they have a nice terrace. My roasted mushroom appetizer was very tasty, the vegetable roll was just average. My friend said her sashimi was very good.

We decided to visit this place after looking through some of the options on Yelp, and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by a very nice host and got seated. They place has a nice atmosphere (patio seating available) and looks very clean. Our server Jorge was awesome. We asked for recommendations, and he gave us some really good ones. To drink I went for their version of the Old Fashion. To eat I had some miso soup (delicious), and and avocado and cucumber roll, and for dessert a super delicious matcha pana cotta. We had a great time here, the service was phenomenal, and the food was lovely. Wish it was closer to Colorado Springs.

Update that bamboo had a new happy hour menu, set plates, and more. I'm a little disappointed with what moved off of the happy hour but the Setto plate was great to share with 3! As always service is amazing and we are glad to have bamboo local in Denver!

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and it was delicious! Great service and great food recommendations from our server as well. All the food was great - we wanted to try everything!

This place is among my top 5s in Denver! Brought a few out of town vegetarian friends here for dinner and the green machine was the highlight of our dinner. We ordered 3 of these! Veggie tempura was pretty good and so crispy yet not oily! The matcha panna cotta here is a great dessert and never disappoints! Service has always been so great out here.

Always love Bamboo! Tried some new rolls that sounded a little crazier than I'm used to (based on server rec) and they were KILLER.

Indulging in fresh, delectable fish and sushi made our evening truly delightful. We were enchanted by the romantic ambiance and impressed by the attentive service throughout our dining experience. The unique rolls offered a tantalizing journey for our taste buds, making every bite a genuine treat. I would recommend trying the Friday the 13th roll with spicy salmon and the fry tide roll with spicy tuna for an extra flavor-packed experience! Go to Bamboo Sushi LoHi for a memorable dining experience.
