Vlad SharovJune 12, 2014I think for sushi the place is an ideal spot. Yes they have the classic rolls that everyone is so familiar with but they also feature many delicious combinations that I have never heard off before.
Harumi UAugust 17, 2014Sushi boat is not bad. Try a dragon roll if you feel like special roll. Spicy mayo on shrimp tempra was really good. Tonight's winner for me was wasabi seaweed crisps. Like a savory snack food.
For sushi lovers there are a few must-haves: fantasy rolls, spicy sushi sandwich, and the lovely rolls! Combinations of banana and American cheese takes traditional sushi to another level!!! Loves it!
Katurah FrazierAugust 23, 2013We ordered the spicy sushi sandwich, shrimp tempura roll, tuna sashimi & rainbow roll. Everything was fresh & delicious. Our host was fun & personable. Our waiter, Adam was VERY slow & not attentive.
ElisaSeptember 4, 2013Super fresh sashimi and service to match ! My sister-in-law randomly found this restaurant and it was a wonderful experience.! Loved the volcano cocktail as well.
Ian JonesMay 2, 2013Great lunch specials 2 for 1 on all signature cocktails. Lunch special 9.95 with free glass of sake and dessert. On a sunny day sitting out back in the garden is a must.
Stephanie RosadoJanuary 2, 2014great lunch special (w/ a free glass of sake and dessert). delicious mochi! (4 diff. flavors- had the green tea and vanilla...mmm)
AMArula ?September 7, 2013The Fantasy Sushi Rolls are amazing! The $5 Absolute drinks on Saturday nights are a steal! Love this place!
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨September 29, 2012Really fun and sexy ambiance. Try Chef Greco's Sushi selection, loved the Eel Rolls! So yummy, they tasted orgasmic! We HIGHLY recommend!
James MerillatDecember 29, 2011Great bet for a sushi lounge. Fresh fish, imaginative rolls, not overpriced and fun cocktails. Try the Basil Pear Martini - delicious!
Melanie SilveraSeptember 12, 2013My relationship w/ bamboo 52 is a failing one; I keep giving it another chance but continuously leave even more disappointed. In a city with so many fabulous sushi restaurants, I need to cut the cord!
Ben MaiDecember 27, 2012Happy hour during the 2hr wait for Totto Ramen! $1 oysters + $5 mimosas! Service is amazing!
Alice QFebruary 22, 2013While dollar oysters are awesome, they rinse off the brine post shucking under the sink before plating = raw bar blasphemy!
NakishaJuly 30, 2012If it's your (actual) birthday make a pit stop here. They'll give you 6 free drinks if you show ID. Bottoms up!
The service is awesome, the staff is sexy and the food and drinks are AMAZING. Happy hour all week before 9 and ALL DAY Sunday!
Since we started coming here in 2010, it's sad to say that they have slipped. The drink & food menus and service have all steadily declined. It's still "better than most" but not what it used to be.
Jen KrawczykMay 7, 2012Decent sushi…the Lovely Roll was really good. The waiter wasn't the best, but the happy hour specials are worth going for!
Simon CaoJuly 5, 2011Don't let the cheap looking sign turn you away - I was really surprised when I set foot inside; it's all hip and has a great ambience to it.
xelsterAugust 10, 2016Build your own roll lunch. Bartender guy was busy all time talking with his boyfriend. Sushi rolls were disgusting and they messed up ingredients in both of them. Only good thing was free sake shot.
Rock SakéNovember 14, 2011Drop by for an exclusive Happy Hour with Rock Saké everyday (including the weekends)!
Yummy Sushi, great happy hour, cute staff. What's not to love?
Jessica DeWittMarch 3, 2013The rumors are true- this place is great if you have a lot of time. Service is slow and the waitstaff isn't attentive. Not worth it- go next door- Danji is amazing
- S. FanNovember 3, 2012Nice HH till 9 but music is too loud. Good for friends get together but I will avoid for date night.
Haley JonesJune 3, 2012If you can get past the cheesy nightclub vibe and the poor service... The sushi is actually delicious.
Andrew HowellDecember 16, 2010The sushi here is delish!!! The HK and the Bagel rolls are my favorites!- Tatiana MontenegroMay 3, 2014Go elsewhere, you'll be happy you did! The service was indifferent and the sushi, forgettable.
Great happy hour and nice outdoor spot during the summer!
Jorge OrtizNovember 2, 2012Skip the frozen lychee cosmo. It's the most foul-tasting concoction I've ever ordered.
Rob Hirst-HermansSeptember 30, 2011Service sucks but the Hells kitchen roll makes up for it. Get the living social instant deal for $25 off
