Everyone knows that fish is healthy food, but with all the news about endangered salmon, over-fished oceans and polluted farm-raised crustaceans, it can be hard to know what's safe to eat. Enter Bamboo Sushi. This sister restaurant to the original Bamboo on Southeast 28th purports to be the first certified sustainable sushi restaurant in the world. Everything served, from sake to nigiri, is selected for its environmental-friendliness as well as taste. You might pay a bit more here than your neighborhood California roll joint, but it's worth it--if you're the sort who cares about preserving...
"Incredible", "exquisitely plated" sushi crafted from certified sustainably sourced seafood allows for "guilt-free" dining at this "sceney" Buckman Japanese with a newer NW 23rd offshoot; even if it's a "little spendy" to some, the "gorgeous" modern space and "professional service" willing to "explain the more exotic" dishes are "definitely worth it."
Visit this sustainable sushi superstar early to beat the hordes (happy hour is M-F 4-6pm), try the "house on fire" mackerel, and plan on double dessert, because even after you've had Bamboo's chocolate egg rolls, you're still going to want to investigate neighboring Salt & Straw's ice cream wonderland.
This über-sustainable sushi restaurant is eco-friendly from the menu to the lightbulbs to the cotton of the server’s shirts. Try the charcuterie plate with house-cured fish and tuna boudin noir and sidle up to the sushi bar to watch true culinary artists at work.
