Lively young vibe (even though we?re not ????). Everything we ate was delicious. Generous size rolls and ramen portions. ... Service was over the top. They don?t do reservations. We walked in at 730 on a Saturday night and were told it was an hour to145 wait but seating for 2 at the bar quickly became available. The bartender was so attentive and professional. Great wineselection and the bourbons, off the chain! This place was recommended to us by the owner of ?Birmingham sushi classes? and boywas she right about the quality here. My wife and I were just passing through but we?ll return to this restaurant given thechance. Read more
Just an overall great place to dine. Food and service will keep you coming back for more. Everything we ordered was delicious.
Great atmosphere, clean, very friendly, great food, good prices, parking lot half block away. I don't do much fish and I'm... allergic to shellfish, so I was a little apprehensive in going. Even with my seafood-avoidance nature, I was able to find a fewitems to choose from. The Thai salad with grilled chicken was awesome. I don't do hot (a little us ok) and the waitress said itwas hot to some people and not too hot to others. I found it about perfect...a little tingly, but not hot. Daughter said sushiwas very good...8/10. Wife said noodle bowl was pretty good/ok flavor. Appetizers: Momos pork dumpling was very good, (a littlespicy) and the pork skewer was awesome. Table next to us got the fried green beans and they looked awesome (waitress said theywere too). . Read more
My wife and I went to bamboo on 2nd for the first time today, but I can say (with a full belly) that it won't be the last... time. Just a few minutes away from the BJCC, and all of that jazz in North Birmingham lies an unsuspecting jewel, nestledcomfortably on Second Ave N. The gigantic orange front door leads you into simple place full of awe, wonder and amazingfood. We started things off with an order of pork momos, a Nepalese dumpling, which were devine; I could have easily made ameal out of a whole stack of those bad boys. We both opted for the Ramen bowl as well. My wife added chicken to hers, and I wentwith the pork belly. The presentation of the ramen was what you might expect (two soft boiled egg halves, and meat nested on thetop). The carrots, scallions and cilantro were scattered on top of the amazing broth and wheat noodles. The serving size of theramen seemed close to a half-gallon so you're really getting your money's worth if you go that route. The soup was amazing, thenoodles were perfect and the pork belly in my dish was delectable. We also ordered a couple of rolls; the "Crunchy California"and "Wham B'Ham." The Crunchy California was a bit of a twist on a typical California roll, but may be the best one I've everhad. There's nothing out of the ordinary about it, other than the crab and cream cheese were mixed together and the outside wasspeckled with bits of tempura batter. It was amazing though. The Wham B'ham was similar, but instead of crab, there was a friedshrimp tucked into the roll and a piece of seared salmon on top, drizzled with eel sauce and a spot of Wasabi. It was alsodelicious. Our server was nice, and kept us well-stocked on drinks, sauces and everything you'd expect. A well-groomed,mustachioed gentlemen visited my wife and I on more than one occasion and served as a kind of sherpa on our Asian-infusedjourney up their food mountain; offering some advice for the next time we visited. All-in-all, this trip was more than Read more

The wait was a bit long, but it was a very busy Friday night, but the good was worth it and more. Everything we had was very... delicious. Service was prompt, but there was a little long of a delay between apps & entre. If you considering eating here,stop, just do it. Read more
Great food!! And service to match. Love the space as well. Good for groups. Can get loud though so not great for intimate... conversation. Definitely go! Read more
