So, this the more romantic approach for this review My date and I LOVE sushi, so she suggested Bambu. I've had Bambu before but only from takeout. This time it was to meet with a first date. I walked in and instantly I fell for the entryway. Modern but also had the feeling of nature with the rocky wall and relaxed entrance. My date arrived and we were seated near the bar. The waitress came and took our drink order: a scorpion bowl for two. It came out fast and was very tasty. Warning: the bartender KNOWS how to make a scorpion bowl that doesn't have the alcohol taste or burn. It was very well made and we both enjoyed that. We ordered a lot of sushi... but none of it had rice. Sashimi deluxe, sashimi roll, Naruto roll. The food came fast, the presentation was excellent, but most importantly, EVERYTHING was delicious and fresh. We ate our dinner while also talking and having some laughs, both of us happy about the experience altogether. They lit the fire in the fireplace (the temperature was dropping and it was also very windy), and it got warm FAST. The sushi stayed cold, so it was perfect. We went to the bar for some hot sake, and the bartender (the same guy that made the scorpion bowl), was great. He was quick with making sure things were set and was conversing with us. Bartenders do a lot, but he was able to chat and still do his job quickly. All in all Bambu helped us have the perfect first date, one that I will NEVER forget! We will definitely come back again! (Maybe frequently)

If you are in Danbury area, check this place out! My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on our last night and t was better than we expected. On the outside it doesn't look like much but the inside as pretty nice. The service was the best. Our cook and server had a sense of humor and shoe accurate with our order. Our combine order included 1. Combination dinner - I ordered steak and shrimp (steak was cooked to perfection). He got steak and chicken (he was happy with the flavor of the steak) 10/10 2 Drink - Scorpion Bowl for 2 - drink at your own risk. Multiple alcohol choices and will get you buzzed by the end of the drink 8/10. The hot sake is delicious as well Overall, the experience was nice and it was walking distance from our hotel

Came here for some drinks and dinner on a Saturday night and had a good experience. We originally wanted to do hibachi but it was packed so we decided to sit at the bar and just ordered hibachi there instead of waiting. I had a lychee martini which was made perfect. The sushi I ordered is a bit tinier than I'd like, more like a snack size. The hibachi was really good, flavorful and the sauce to go with it was good. Overall a good experience just wish the sushi rolls were so tiny.

We were staying in an AirBnb in New Fairfield and wanted some hibachi. We made a reservation for 7pm for a Friday night and it was very socially distanced inside. To my surprise, the hibachi chefs still did a nice show even just for my fiancé and I. We ordered the kani salad and salmon avocado roll, both of which were good (don't expect the best tasting sushi here though!) For hibachi, I got the salmon and steak combo with fried rice (+$2). My fiancé got the chicken and shrimp combo with fried rice too. I liked how the dishes came with the standard salad and clear soup, as well as lo mein, veggies, and extra shrimp for both. Overall, a yummy lowkey dinner!
