About this business

Editorial fromThe menu at chef John Greco's sexy sushi spot is a far cry from the sprawling books larded with fried calamari and chicken fingers that you find elsewhere in this Midtown West neighborhood. (And those foods won't be added anytime soon, as…

1/2 price drinks, good bartenders and DJ – I just read the other reviews on this site and although I can't speak for the wait staff (we sat at the bar) I had a great experience and would definitely come back. I was there on a Friday night and the Happy Hour was amazing- 1/2 price drinks until 9pm! The bartenders were very fast and friendly (the blonde bartender took care of us) and the music was great (I love the 80's!). I love sushi but my friends had never really experienced it- this was a great place to go. They have a go... read more

Horrible Service, but good drinks. – The wait staff was awful. They were rude and stuck up to say the least. I ordered a few drinks and all I got was attitude. The drinks were good and the half price happy hour was great. The food was not as good as most of the Japanese places in the city and I've been to nearly all of them. The DJ was like 60 years old. Needless to say the music wasn't close to good. We went for farewell drinks for one of our coworkers/friends. The waiters kept giving the guest of honor the bill!

Very beautiful ambience.... – Well, we stopped by after our dinner at Ciro ( WOUNDERFUL) and we ahd a drink at the bar with Davi...was everything great.... the drink was perfect, the bartender really really nice but we had a bad view of the wait staff that felt jealous about the people at the bar and didnt show welcome when we asked where was the bathroom! We were so sorry! But, the bartender was GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT!

Excellent and promp service, fresh Sushi and Sashini, just the best. – In contradiction with one little comment I found on this site, Bamboo52's staff is excellent. Fast delivery too. Yes it is in Hell's Kitchen, so? Everything I have ever ordered and consumed there in over 20 visits has been out of this world. Just check the overall ratings, it is higher than most restaurants and bars listed on this site. I do believe the writer of the article did not really know what he or she was really talking about. The staff will do al... read more

Great Happy Hour – We had reservations & were seated promply. The service was really slow. I think they only had one waiter working. We asked the waiter for water, but it never came. We were just about done w/ dinner when we found a busboy who graciously got us water w/ a wedge of lime. The spicy sandwiches were really good though, very different. The "bread" was made out of the sticky sushi rice, filled w/ the spicy tuna, lettuce & cheese. We shared one btwn 3 ppl, ordered the Shashima platter & a dragon roll to share. The ... read more

happy from cali – Me and my girlfriend are from California, on vacation, and stumbled into Bamboo.I we didn't have reservations and were seated promptly. The manager, Roger, made sure we got a table, right away. We were pleasantly suprised by the kindness of the manager and staff. Being from another state, we had heard how rude New Yorkers can be. Well I'm here to tell you, it was the exact opposite of what we expected. The food was excellent . The best sushi we've ever had. I would highly recommend Bamboo, to anyone living ... read more

Midtown spot rolls up sushi in a party-lounge atmosphere – 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 with embedded flat-screen TVs and a DJ say lounge, but the open kitchen, sending out the usual mix of sushi and rolls, says restaurant. The after-work party crowd munches on unique dishes including a crawfish salad and a roll made with tuna, avocado, eel and American cheese.

Perfect hidden jewel for pre theatre meal and drink – We found this place on this website and loved it. Following the directions, I was afraid we had missed a turn as it is kind of on a quiet street, but there it was. We had called 20 minutes prior and they had a table waiting. Awesome, innovative drinks that were dirt cheap b/c of a long happy hour. Great sushi, some of the best tuna I have had. Very fast, extremely cute, perfect pre theater restaurant!
