The noise level inside was very loud for some reason. It’s usually a bit more reasonable. Good service, good food, great variety on the menu.

Our server, Sam, was exceptional. 1st time at Banbu & she explained everything perfectly. Food was delicious (especially the sesame chicken) & the sake delightful. We'll definitely be back for another date night!!

I haven't been to Banbu in a while. I didn't realize their price point is no longer attainable. This is certainly no longer a budget friendly location. MP (market price) for a good portion of items. No happy hour menu items.

Great experience at Banbu Sushi. We were seated in a very noisy area but were quickly offered alternative options. Staff were friendly, professional and accommodating. Food as always was excellent. Thank you.

The food wasn’t as good as it normally is. The edamame wasn’t cooked fully and the rolls weren’t very fresh. The service was good but the food was meh.

The sushi was very good and so were the apps. The service was awesome. The ambiance didn't feel like a sushi restaurant, more modern and loud. My only knock was portion to price ratio was a bit off but overall the quality of fish was very good.
