Now open: Bamboo Sushi at the Biltmore in Phoenix

Bamboo Sushi, a Portland-based concept that bills itself as the world’s first certified sustainable sushi restaurant, has opened its first Arizona location at Biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix.

The Japanese restaurant takes over the former Paradise Bakery & Cafe space on the northeast corner of 24th Street and Camelback.

The menu offers signature sushi rolls, traditional nigiri, and Japanese-inspired shared plates. All items meet extensive sustainability criteria.

During its soft opening, Bamboo Sushi is serving dinner only with a limited bar menu.

Lunch service and its full bar program will begin in mid-January.
