Very friendly people. My wife really liked their sushi. I'm not sure it's fair to call it a Japanese restaurant, though. Other than sushi, their food is mostly Chinese.

They offered fast, attentive service and the sushi was some of the best, most tender sashimi I've had in a long time.

I went here a few days ago while in the neighborhood. I got the Panang Curry noodles. I can’t have garlic or onion, so I wasn’t sure if they’d be able to make it, but they did and it was so good! The staff was all so nice. I went here by myself to read, and it was such a nice comfortable atmosphere. I wish I lived closer! Will definitely have to come back next time I’m in the area.

Fun little spot, BYOB, dine in and take out available. Have been going to bonsai since the pandemic. Great take out for sushi rolls and Chinese. Not your average Chinese food but very close.

Pleasant staff. Food average quality and value. Less than 10 minute walk, we've passed it often. Easy to see why usually empty. Clearly focused on take out/delivery customers.

Richie is very nice and always attentive. He is very knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. The quality of the ingredients and the food at this place is the best! Better than many other places in the area selling the same thing. The Pho Soup was absolutely amazing. The Pad Thai was also delicious! It cost $12.50 and it can serve two people at least. Whoever makes the food here is the best and deserves a raise! The food always tastes fresh. It's never frozen or microwaved. I will be coming back here very often. The only downside I can say is that I wish I could get a little more in the lunch special. I will come back here to try everything on the menu.

There's absolutely no good tasting Asian food in this area except this full of flavors joint. Appreciate it ?

Tasty and priced right - not a place for ambiance per se but carrying out will certainly satisfy your Thai cravings.
