“"My son and some friends recently went to Bamboo on 2nd, and it was a fantastic experience. The service was great—friendly and efficient. The sushi was absolutely delicious, and they are already looking forward to returning to try more. The ramen bowl had a flavorful broth that added to its overall deliciousness. The service was quick, and the waitstaff were knowledgeable and helpful in selecting our food.Additionally, the To go counters impressed me with their amazing quality. Whether dining in or taking out, Bamboo on 2nd is a top-notch choice for delicious sushi and flavorful dishes. Highly recommend“
“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“
“My girlfriend and I had planned on going here, but then she broke up with me. I haven't been the same person since. It's like everything feels a little bit colder. It's been 3 years, but I just don't seem to be able to get a grasp on how to continue living my life. I'm okay, this isn't cry for help, it's just the cold truth. Some people never recover from emotional trauma, and I'm one of them. I'm alone. I'm alone. I'm alone. I'm alone. I'm alone.“
“SO has been wanting to try this new ramen place, so here we are. Cute restaurant, nice employees. The ramen is pretty good.....may be comparable to Bamboo on 2nd without the atmosphere. The noodles have a good chew, and the broth is served hot and very flavorful. The egg tastes good but is a bit overcooked. I agree with another Yelp review that the price is high.....though seems on par with all ramen places in Birmingham. Basically about $20 after tax and tip....honestly that prices me out for the most part. A bowl of noodles in general is just not worth $20 to me.“
