Last week, some friends and I stopped in for the happy hour at Bamboo Sushi, a cool locale that serves up really killer sushi, among other dishes. My buddy had a Kobe beef flank, along with with some mushrooms and a tasty herb sauce up top (I sampled his and other friends’ meals; I couldn’t help it). Happy hour has some crazy-good deals (the Kobe was only $5.50). We shared some super-fresh sashimi, and also tried Bamboo’s signature cocktails.

I’m not only stoked on Bamboo because of the stellar food they serve up and it’s chill atmosphere, but I’m also really into the fact that this accessibly hip spot boasts the title of the only certified sustainable sushi restaurant in the world. Bamboo is a popular joint, so there can be a wait for a table, but it’s completely worth it.

Be sure to visit their Facebook Page as well.

Cheers,
