Bonsai Cafe Reviews
I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.
I had the Green Turtle Maki and it was delicious with a beautiful presentation!! The prices are reasonable and our server was pleasant and attentive.
