Good afternoon Samantha, ty so much for everything. I would like to tell you at Bamboo Sushi lounge that you are rated the best! Have been to so many sushi paces, but yours exceeded by far as the best!! Will rate you 10 if I could, but you definitely get a 5 on Google. Your food and service was next level! See you again soon.

Food was okay. Nothing like nuris in Cape Town. Their half price offering really sounds attractive ( pay half price everyday) , but so is their portion size (very small indeed).

Their portion sizes are a little small on the 1/2 price promotion but its good sushi over all

An assuming storefront off the road led us into a charming little restaurant. While the service was friendly and efficient, the food was a mixed bag.. we had the calamari to start and while it was delicious and crispy, the portion felt just a shy too small for the price.For the main course, I had the chilli bean chicken while my friend tried their sweet and sour prawn stir fry.. his prawns were cooked perfectly with a great sauce, but my chicken was a little overdone... the sauce was pleasant, but nothing exciting.Dessert was disappointing, as the deep fried ice cream lacked the crispy texture one would expect from a deep fry. It was a sad way to end a meal.I have no doubt their sushi is great as the conveyor we sat next too looked amazing... but as for the food we tried, the best way to sum it up would he satisfactory.Hopefully the sushi will be a better experience.

Just had sushi from there again, and was very fresh and the best sushi by far compared to any other sushi place

Service was decent and professional.I have shellfish allergies which I communicated upfront and proceeded to order a variety of salmon sushi..unfortunately I reacted to the sushi after enjoying it at first, I believe there was some cross contamination when it was being prepared - if you have severe shellfish allergies rather avoid it because its not worth it. Ive ordered from other sushi places before and they paid special attention and care to preparing my non-shellfish order separately.

I am very surprised by bamboo sushi lounge. It does not look like much from the outside but inside you will find a delicious sushi restaurant. My friends and I had their all you can eat buffet which was great. We ate ourselves sick full of sushi. We also got spring rolls, tempura crab stick and dessert, all included in the buffet. This is by no means a cheap excursion as the buffet is expensive at R250 per person however it was really great. They have a fantastic selection of freshly made sushi on the menu and on the conveyer belt. They also have a selection of wok dishes which I personally did not have so I cannot say much about. I did however see other patrons order these items and they looked wonderful.All in all we had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. The service was great too! It was expensive though and so I cannot give 5 stars as I have had sushi buffets at lower prices.

Honestly Im only rating this place a 3 star is because I love tuna sashimi, so I ordered it and its sad to say that it really wasnt fresh. Other than that, Id still recommend eating there, the place is clean and tidy, very Japanese esc, and the salmon sushi is tasty. Enjoy!

Good food but with regards to the service received from the delivery service you guys use its absolutely ridiculous, I ordered food at 18:19pm via the app and its now over 2 hours later and i have not received my food this is beyond ridiculous i have complained to the owner about the service before and still nothing was done its sad how customer feedback isnt taken seriously with this business.

Review β„–32

Lovely, clean and good quality ingredients make this an ideal restaurant to get your sushi fix on. Half price sushi most days and R250 gets you all you can eat from the roundabout. The staff are friendly and the sushi is perfectly acceptable. I have had better but for the price point it dosnt disappoint. Would like to see low sodium soy sauce on the tables though and not only the usual high sodium. Expect to pay around +-R150pp for a good amount of susi (after the 50% off regular price) excluding drinks. In my opinion its best to opt out of the all you can eat option and just select from the menu. I can eat alot of sushi in a sitting and the sushi i selected from the menu was more than enough and still came to a good R100 less than the buffet option. All and all it was a lovely experience and i will be coming back. Well done to the staff for making our evening enjoyable.

Amazing atmosphere, the sushi is very good, and you can see whoever prepares it knows exactly what they doing, they do have a turn table sushi bar as well. The prices are a bit more expensive than most places but you are definitely getting what you pay for.

Review β„–39

The sushi was everything, the brΓ»lΓ©e sushi is the best. And I had prawn noodles, with ample prawns. The service could be improved, as I went twice and there was confusion as to who was taking my order resulting in me having to order twice and wait longer for my food. The parking is near impossible to find, and if you do find a spot, it’s worth it. I would steer clear of the sweetened prawn roll, there are huge dollops of sweet mayo on the roll, very unappetizing. However, still good sushi. The cucumber salad that comes with the noodles was really good.

Review β„–44

The sushi is good... However when it mentions it is half price all day everyday... It means the portions are half as well... Lets say salmon roses comes in 4 pieces at another restaurant for lets say 40 bucks, bamboo sushi lounge will give 2 you for 25 bucks... Not unreasonable... But not the best Ive had..

Review β„–45

I love their sushi deal available daily but their wines and other items on the menu are highly priced so at the end of the day it looks like the highly priced items more than make up for the discount on the sushi plus on the belt you mostly get the two highest priced plates running and for the entire time we sat there there was only one of the lowest priced plate 😁........ just things we noticed.But overall I enjoyed the sushi and will def go back again.The ginger is not shaved pieces instead chopped, chunky pieces that looked old and when we enquired we were told , thats just how we do it. 😊😊😊😊 Gotta love Durban

This is a good sushi place, however there are better places to eat. Poor parking and small seating area. The variety of sushi is acceptable. Miss the Durban north venue as this was much better and more consistent. They should make changes while its still possible to not lose more customers

Review β„–47

The sushi here is excellent. Some of the best I have tasted in Durban. The atmosphere was good with the latest dance music being played. The service was excellent and the half price sushi special everyday is definitely a drawcard. Sushi bar and tables provide ample seating space for the size of the store. Oh and did I mention? The sushi was amazing

The sushi is always fresh and satisfying when you have that sushi craving,prices are reasonable and staff are friendly and helpful. They stir fry dishes are also amazing and are huge portions for a very reasonable price.This is definitely one of my top 5 sushi places...If you have been to Tommys at kloof and like that sushi but want a place you can actually sit in with friends or family then bamboo is a place to check out.

Review β„–52

Half price sushi marketing gimmick. Average food and poor service. They forgot a part of our order and when we left after waiting 20 minutes they asked if we wanted to have our missing sushi as a take away. Clear scheme to get customers to eat off of the conveyer belt. Would not recommend at all!

So there are a number of Sushi bars around Umhlanga and theyre all pretty good. But if you want exceptional, great value, fresh sushi in a cool setting with a great vibe, the Bamboo Sushi Lounge is for you. Dont take my word for it. Check it out yourself.

Review β„–58

Great sushi bar with the traditional conveyor belt to select from. Well priced for all you can eat sushi. The only reason I dont give five stars is because I dont agree with enforced tipping rules on the bill. Im going to tip anyway because I always have a good time - you dont have to force me.

Great sushi at an all you can eat restaurant! Price is good,especially if you go on an empty stomach. The waiter Kamil is especially helpful. Ive been several times and only issue I had was one piece if sushi was off which I promptly spat out. Not bad given the 100s of pieces of sushi I must have consumed here.

Rice not sticky enough and so everyone fell apart.Size of each roll too big you can hardly put in the mouth in one go.Not sure how anyone can deem this place one of the top in Umhlanga, they obviously don’t know good sushi.
