Customer Reviews
I dined at Banbu Sushi Bar & Grill on 12/12/2025, and it was easily one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had all year. I was visiting from out of town on business and found it on Google Maps after my first choice turned out to be takeout sushi. Fortunate for me because this place of the chain. I started with the garlic edamame, The best I’ve ever had. I followed that with the Ora King citrus sashimi (recommended by my server) and the Bambu Roll, both of were Primo!! I could stop there, however, the service elevated the experience even further. Jacqueline, my server, was genuinely warm, knowledgeable, and engaging. We had a great conversation about my travel-heavy lifestyle, and her professionalism and natural hospitality stood out. If I were hiring, I’d bring her on without hesitation.
Just had a great lunch at Banbu Sushi and it was excellent. The oysters were super fresh and flavorful, and everything we ordered came out beautifully presented. The quality of the fish really stood out, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Relaxed vibe, great food, and a perfect spot for a nice lunch. Will definitely be back.
So I’ve ordered the calamari 2 times before and it was a big order with another fried item on it and crispy rings under them. This time I got just calamari and they still charged me $27 for it!? It’s less than half the size of the one before! Def not happy with this. I love this place but this was a weird change for me
All the food was really good and fresh. The service was pretty good, but the food coming took some time. The presentation on the sushi rolls was really impressive and they tasted as well as the looked. Only tiny negative is that its a bit pricey…Other then that it was a great experience.
The Bluefin Truffle Tostada cannot be beat. The sushi was excellent - very fresh! Our favorite was the Protein Roll. The service never disappoints, and its comfortable to go dressy or in jeans. My only complaint is the prices are higher than what I would consider fair. Otherwise, a great date night spot!
