We were driving through the neighborhood and wanted to pick up some sushi to go. We picked bonsai mostly due to proximity. We showed up 30 minutes before they were closing on a Tuesday. The place was empty and they were getting ready to close. We ordered 5 rolls to go. They were delicious! We appreciate the fast service and the food was high quality. Would return!

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.

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.
