5 of us went for a girls dinner. The sushi was delicious. It is expensive but worth it. Better sushi than AYCE. It was fresh. Our friend got the Pad Thai. It was a really large dish. She liked it as well.
Amazing sushi options!! I had the shrimp tempura and it was amazing. Possibly the best sushi i've had in a while. The place wasn't crowd for afternoon lunch on Sunday, the waiter also told me that they have all you can eat buffets on Sunday evenings.
I ate here with a couple of friends recently. We heard there was a change in management from a friend so we thought to check it out since out last experience wasn't the best. We went in around 3 so it was relatively quiet. Sat at the bar because we wanted to watch some TV. I ordered sushi and my friends ordered pad thai and general Tao chicken. I didn't want anything raw so the bartender suggested a grilled salmon roll and a side of nigiri after I told her what I liked. It was delicious! The pad thai was a big portion which my friend took half home. The general Tao was okay. We thought it needed a bit more heat and less sweetness. Overall service was great, food good with room to improve a couple things. Definitely coming back to sit on the patio before summer is done.
Great Dim sums. Large portions and value for money. Need to go more often as they have a lot of dishes. Service was good too.
Good. Nice place and food mostly good. Sushi very good. Lemongrass grill items super. Like the beef and oyster mushrooms. Chow mein is ok but could be better. Noddles don't have much crispy factor.
Recommended for lunches. Food is tasty, decor is nice, service is polite but very slow. If your group has more than 6, expect to be here for a minimum of 1.5 hours over a weekday lunch.
Great. The service is kind of half assed... but most sushi restaurant in this city... and around the country... suffer from this predicament. The sushi however.... AWESOME! I only go when its all you can eat on weekends... and I am never disapointed. I love their take on the viet dishes. I would go back... again and again and again... even if the service sucks.
I love the sushi !!! The sushi is fresh and amazing. I highly reccomend going there if you are a sushi lover. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is great! You can get dressed up or be casual. I always find the servers extremely helpful and they provide great service.
Delicious!. I was worried when I saw the reviews here, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had baby bok choy which were delightfully gingerly and the salt and pepper shrimp and tofu which was hot and fresh. the service was a little slow (but the food came quickly!), however our waiter was nice and seemed busy. I would definitely return!
I have read a lot of reviews about poor service, but I must say the hostess was polite, we were seated quickly and our server was very friendly and helpful with dish recommendations. We enjoyed some dim sum, edamame,sushi, rice wraps & a vermicellie dish. The dim sum is really great and comparable
in taste & quality to many I had on Somerset. I am happy we only ordered 1 sushi roll (Philadelphia roll) as it was not that great, which was a bit of a disappointment. All in all it was a good experience, the ambience was nice and the food was good.
This was my second time here and although it's a little pricier than most other Asian fusion restaurants in Ottawa, I find the food tastey and atmosphere very nice. Good selection of drinks as well. Great spot for a date or dinner with the girls. I tried the AYCE menu and for $25 it was a good option to try a few different things. Everything we had was delicious. Waiter was quick and friendly. I would go again.
Just got back from Bambu. Is it Bambu or UBambu? What's up with that? Anyway, did the all you can eat. I was a little scared of the $25 price tag, but I pounded back the meats there. And the egg rolls. They were open ended which was a nice touch. Haven't seen that before in the all you can eat world. Our waiter was an the ball. Just kept bringin out the plates nice and fast. Answered all of our questions. Our experience with the service was excellent. Super nice inside the place too. Pretty classy. Just amazing quality for all you can eat. Really happy with this place all around.
Had the shrimp tempura, cali rolls, and beef noodles with black bean mmm so good! I enjoyed the food especially beef black bean noodles
All time favourite. Love Bambu - have been multiple times. Can never go wrong with the crispy beef, coconut chicken curry and the open ended egg rolls!

Excellent appetizers, underwhelming main courses. One caveat: I've only been here once, so perhaps I'll save my final judgment for future visits. That being said, the open-ended eggrolls were excellent, set apart from the Golden Palace gold standard by only a slight aftertaste and a tendency to fall apart during devouring. The dim sum -- which is happily available at all times -- also proved enjoyable in the form of our steamed pork buns. The main courses were a little disappointing by comparison; the pad thai was completely ordinary (albeit with unusually thick noodles), and the beef with mixed vegetables was not the highest quality. I was saddened by this, since up until the main course we had been impressed with the atmosphere, service, and appetizers. I'll likely return to sample more main courses.
PS: I'll have to echo the thoughts of some other reviewers. The poor staff, while definitely nice to customers, seemed harried and overworked even while the restaurant was half-full. Perhaps they need to hire more servers!
Great Dim Sum. Love the Dim Sum menu. A tad on the pricy side however the menu is quite extensive so it allows you to have almost anything you like, and me being a Dim Sum fan I can take guests to Bambu they can get whatever they wish, and I can stick to my fav, the dim sum.
Reso's recommended, service a tad on the slow side, likely due to the full house most evenings.
Awesome. Food and service are very good. Best pad thai i've had in ottawa and very good selection of different asian foods. Try the all you can eat menu on sunday nights, it is well worth it. Great place, been 10 times and loved it every time.
Delicious! Do the penut dumplings!!!
*****. Simply Amazing.
We went for wedding anniversary dinner with our friends.We all liked it from starters to main dish to desserts.
Sushies are very fresh and delicious.Even the all you can eat for $25 menu is also superb...good ambiance .Sure we will go back.
Wow the Landing and take off of flights are also a good view :)
Delicious general tso's, shrimp pad Thai quite good and fantastic sushi, in fact the sushi was incredibly fresh, service was quick, food was served piping hot and decor and music are awesome. Definitely coming back Sunday 4-10 pm to try the 25$ all u can eat 15 course meal, sounds amazing!!
Nice restaurant with cool urban deco the food and service were good ! But somthing his missing inside to make it very good
Lunch for Two. Two of us went for lunch today. Szechwan Crispy beef was very well done and not too spicy. The lunch portion of the beef came with a side of rice and a spring roll. We split a Bento Box. Everything was well prepared. No complaints with the food. Combined, both portions made for a very good value.
Atmosphere was nice, not too busy, and the waiter was courteous and attentive.
What we were most impressed with, as odd as it may seem, was how refreshing the water is. We were told that all the taps use the same filtration system. Smart idea if you ask me.
Overall, good lunch, and I'll probably be back even just for a drink of water :p

Love this restaurant!. I am Asian and live only two blocks down from Chinatown, so I know my Asian food quite well. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food--tasty, non-greasy, and a nice selection that includes several Asian cuisines. The desserts are also good and not something you could get in Chinatown because they are original creations e.g. green tea cheesecake (yum!)
I wouldn't believe the negative reviews because at this point, they are so busy, you may have to wait in line or call for reservations. The tables were full to the brim and many people ordered in and arrived for pick-up. Their high numbers are very telling and word is certainly getting around! For those of you who swear that you'll never be back, you may end up with friends who invite you because they love it a lot!
My friend has been to this place five times in only two weeks (she feels that she is addicted and so is her husband). Her book club enjoyed the food immensely and one of her close girlfriends is now making Bambu a monthly staple.
I hope you'll make Bambu a staple too . . . but get in before it becomes too busy.
Went there for lunch. Really great Dim Sum choices. Large portions and very fresh. The sushi we ordered was also very good. It's great to be able to order a variety of Asian food.
Tried it twice. First time at dinner: pad thai noodles ends were burnt and gave an unsatisfying burnt flavour to the whole dish. Secong time at lunch: veggies looked fresh much more egg in the pad Thai and great tasting. Much better than the first time. Vegetable spring rolls are fantastically crunchy and tasty. Lovely decor with plenty of seating. High ceilings make it SUPER noisy though.
The basil flavour was delightful and the peppers and onions were nice and tender crisp. A nice lunch size for one.
High quality and great service. Staff were swift to serve and they did a great job checking up on us constantly. My first time having the sushi and i was impressed, tastes great and was very filling. Lots of space to sit which is great for larger groups. I would highly recommend.
Recommend by my eldest son. Awesome π π π€©. Sushi π£ π± is amazing. Great staff. Great π service. Special thanks π to Kevin. They have Sunday evening βall you can eatβ from 04:30PM to 08:30PM
Went on Saturday. It was quiet. No one was out on the patio.
Had the Chicken Pad Thai. It was excellent. Different flavour from the usual Pad Thai. Had a bit of a tingle to it as well.
Had a red wine Sangria with it. Very fruity and tasty. It was not dry at all.
Will definitely be back!
I could not recommend ENOUGH! The staff there is wonderful ESPECIALLY Christy she was the sweetest waitress and made our entire night. That woman needs a raise for being so accommodating and an overall good time to be around!! Food was amazing as always and they never fail to disappoint with their sushi in boats. Had an awesome time, perfect for a night out with the girls, date night, family night, anything!
My sons took me to Bambu yesterday it was my first time and it was a wonderful experience! truly The portions were quite big ,much bigger than most sushi restaurants so you get a good value and delicious,Our server was very friendly and helpful gave us excellent service, helped my son by changing his phone , Would definitely return!
Great quality restaurant!
We were impressed with the quality. The proteins were tender and nicely seasoned, and very very filling.
The Riverside roll was delicious as well.
The server was accommodating and friendly!
Food and service 5 stars!!!
We ordered 5 diferente different dishes and in minutes less than 30 minutes everything was served. The waiter suggested a delicious dish that was unbelievable good! Highly recommend!!
Bambu honesty has the best Sushi, you get what you pay for, it can seem expensive but the quality is top notch, they have a great selection of Fusion as well, pairs well with Sapporo.
Definitely worth checking out!
Get some of the speciality rolls, they also do all you can eat on Sunday.
