“ Bamboo Ya 69-12 Austin St Queens, NY 11375 Forest Hills / Queens New York The owner is such a cool guy.! Anyways- I always order the same thing. I order the house salad with extra dressing, avocado salad with extra dressing, coconut shrimp, and sweet potato fries with ketchup, deep fried ice cream for dessert, and I get ice water with lemon. Sometimes I order the Bento box.!!! My boyfriend orders bbq squid, beef short ribs, and the deep fried roll/sushi which is deep fried white fish, smoked salmon, cream cheese and Kani, avocado with eel sauce and spicy mayo.! Very freshly made and authentic Japanese food! Their menu has visuals / pictures which is very helpful for some people. I have never seen a menu that has pictures to go with just about every single item on the menu.

“ Our whole party was craving sushi really badly and almost all restaurants were closed or closing soon. We walked in of party of 5 but they took us in and gave us a great service at last minute. The food is so worth the price and the atmosphere is beautiful. ”
“ One of my favorite places in Forest Hills. The style of the restaurant is cozy and the energy is perfect. The sushi rolls are delicious, we tried the gold special roll with mango and the pineapple rice. It was spectacular. The servers are attentive and keep the place sanitized. The prices are a little high but the quality of the food is worthy. ”
“ My friends and I ( group of 4 ) came here last minute near closing time. Despite our late entrance we were warmly greeted by staff members. While being escorted to the back it was nice to see many of the artifacts posted around the restaurant i.g the boat hanging from the ceiling. Our waiter took the due diligence to provide recommendations and answer our questions. Food was served quick and fresh. I loved the taste of my entree and dipped my chopsticks into my friend’s cuisines as well. Portion sizes were large and several of us brought food home. ”
“ Celebrated my good friend's birthday tonight at Bamboo Ya and the food was delicious. We started with the avocado salad and ginger dressing, fresh and tasty! There are so many unique sushi choices that it is always hard to choose.The sushi was super fresh, light and satisfying! We shared the "A Roll" and the "Rainbow Roll", both delicious and tasted like MORE! The ambiance is cozy, clean and comfortable. The staff here genuinely cares about their guests. They were attentive, courteous, and pleasant. Our server helped make the birthday celebration a memorable one. Can't wait to go back! ”
