    We sat at the sushi bar. Our server was attentive but perhaps too attentive as we were constantly interrupted while talking. When we were ready we would have flagged her down. The bar was mostly empty. The sushi chef handed our orders to us rather than setting them on the ledge in front of us. This too was an interruption as we had to stop talking, put our drinks down to take the plates from him. Not traditional Japanese sushi service. The food could have been fresher. Some things seemed as though they had been sitting out too long. Rolls and nigiri were ok but a bit bland. Not bad overall but we probably won’t go back.

    Great fresh sushi! We had appetizers, sashimi, nigiri and rolls. The rolls were large with interesting combinations, but all delicious. Our table for two was too close to our neighbors. And in spite of a screw up with the hostess and having to wait too long for a table, in spite of having a reservation, it was a decent dinner experience.

    Our first time to Banbu Sushi. Heard from family and friends how great the food is and they were right. We had six different sushi rolls, all were excellent and a couple are our new faves. The brussels sprouts appetizers were very good. We will definitely add Banbu to our rotation list of fine eateries.
