Came here for the first time with a friend for dinner. Nestled in the corner of a shopping center. Easy parking and location. We ordered 4 dishes all of which were amazing and tasted really fresh. The portions were big and reasonable and the service was quick and easy. The lady who was helping us was super nice and welcoming as well! Will be coming back here!

A craving for sushi a little later in the night led us to Bamboo Fish for a nice Saturday night date. The area inside is cozy and warm but I was really surprised by how high the ceilings are, didn't really affect my dining experience but I found it interesting.The service was prompt and friendly, our orders came quite quickly which was very nice considering how hungry we were. To start we ordered a Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna and Salmon Sashimi appetizer. The salmon was very high quality and came with 6 pretty thick pieces (had a couple before taking the picture). The crispy rice dish was also very good, maybe I would've preferred a little more sauce for the rice to soak up as it was a bit of a mouthful, but the flavor and texture were good. The rolls we ordered were the SF Giants, 49ers, and the Titanic, all of which were very well made with healthy portions of fish and good flavor. As to pricing, sushi is getting noticeably expensive and that is especially true of getting sushi in South San Jose. There may be no getting around that anymore and while I wasn't completely floored by the bill, it definitely made me remember why I'm not getting sushi everyday! However Bamboo Fish is a perfect neighborhood sushi spot with good quality and fresh ingredients, and I would love to come back.

Great Sushi place! We loved the Poke Nachos! They had tons of tuna on wontons with avocado, and spicy dressy. The Sashimi Appetizer Combo was tasty with 8 slices of different Sashimi. We also had the Nabeyaki Udon which was so good! Large amounts of noodles, chicken, veggies and one shrimp tempura. I would have loved one more shrimp :-) They have a ton of rolls to pick from on their menu and bento boxes. Prices were average and tons of seating. The service was quick and a TV on to watch the game. Tons of parking out front. We will be back!

Food was ok. But a little shocked that our server charged us an automatic gratuity of 20% because our party was 4 adults, a kid and a toddler. Maybe I missed it, but I did not see that posted anywhere, and to charge a mandatory tip of 20% instead of 15% is a little crazy to me.

So this could have been a 5 Star Yelp review. But downgrading due to the lack of service on a Friday night. I blame management, and in this case, it could just be a family owned and run business. We only had to wait 10minutes to get a table so that was good. However, the hostess taking our order was so flustered as she was the only one that was taking orders with a packed house! There were two other boys that were either cleaning the tables and seating people but not sure if they were trained to take orders. We had two friends join us spur of the moment that evening so we had a great time. No rush by the restaurant to move on. We stayed there for over 1.5hours. Not really because we wanted to, but it seemed it took a very long time to make the sushi rolls. And we had to keep tracking down our hostess to get some of the items that we ordered. So now for the good stuff. The taste of almost every roll was phenomenal. The only one I didn't like was the Slow Burn Roll, which had an interesting texture to it and no burn to it. But the other rolls and the Sashimi platter were excellent. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was to die for! One of the few places that I have been to that actually serve this. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the rolls on the menu. Total bill for 4 people ended up around $170 including 2 beers and hot tea. We were not even asked if we wanted dessert nor did we want to stay any longer. But it was great to watch the Warriors game that was on while we ate. A very cozy restaurant and the locals know this has great food. I hope the owners take note of this and at least get someone else who can wait tables.

Our favorite sushi spot. My wife and I came here on Friday night and this place was quickly packed. Service was fast and top notch as always. My favorite roll called the SJ Earthquakes is no longer on the regular menu, but it is on the daily specials menu. My wife wanted the low carb wrapped in cucumber option, but unfortunately they don't do that here. Hopefully they do that in the near future.

Came to Bamboo Fish with my parents the night of Christmas Eve Eve. We got seated right away and the food was quick to come out. The food was so good and fresh! The rolls we had were very flavorful. It wasn't too busy being that it's Saturday night. The restaurant is cozy and clean. Good vibes!! We will definitely be back.

I attempted to order the volcano roll. I have an allergy to soy so I asked for no unagi which was questioned by the waitress including me having to zoom into the roll picture to show her the sauce that I didn't want on it. I asked to add on avocado outside (which was a menu option on their QR code) for 3 or 4 dollars and substitute shrimp for the salmon. I was told this would be an expensive roll $30 and the chef might get mad of the requests and not to order it. Idc about the price, id have order it anyways if she didn't make such a big deal. I ended up ordering a STR #2 because of her push back. It was okay
