“Beautiful restaurant; great food and service. The calamari is amazing“

“Delicious. Try the garlic edamame. You’ll love it. I had the super white tuna and salmon sashimi. The fish was fresh and plentiful. My only regret: I’ve had carry out twice and both times food items were missing. The first time: sashimi. The second time: soup and salad. I’m going to give it another go.“

“You can be as safe or adventurous as you want here. We had never tried sushi with beef, but it was a unanimous favorite (ditto crawfish). Other tuna/salmon plates pleased our group. Even my Moscow Mule's ginger was balanced, thank you John Taffer. Skip the gas station sushi and eat here instead. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The service, sushi and sashimi were all five stars and first class!“

“My husband and I tried it for the first time today for lunch. We loved it! The shrimp hibachi was fantastic. They had gobs of sushi roll selections, but we didn't have any today. Highly recommend! It would probably be a great place for date night. It is small and intimate. We will go back.“

“Harley was fantastic! My boyfriend and I came in for dinner tonight. Harley recommended two sushi rolls the crab lovers and the gold rush roll both of which were very delicious! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the great experience and helping our date night 🖤“

“Edit 8/2026- not sure if they’ve changed their chefs or what but the mango crunch I’ve loved so much over the years just isn’t as good as it used to be. Golden Cadillac was pretty good.

One of the best sushi spots in Louisville! Their mango crunch roll has been my favorite for years“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“Love this place! Their food is always consistent and taste amazing. It’s my go to spot if I want to eat out or treat myself.“

“Love the service, food and atmosphere!“

“Highly recommended! Food, service & atmosphere 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“This is my favorite hibachi place to eat. The food is amazing! However, they are so picky about seating at their hibachi grill. You pretty much have to have a reservation to sit at the grill otherwise they will turn you down from it. It’s super annoying bc it’s a hibachi restaurant, you should be able to sit at the grill especially if the restaurant is dead and no one is waiting for the grill. The customer service is not great, either.“

“the food is amazing and very entertaining for the hibachi“

“Bento Asian Kitchen & Sushi is one of my favorite places to go for food!
Was served by Taylor today and she was fantasticly nice and helpful, my friend didn't know how to work the water tab at the soda fountain so she came over and helped him when she didn't have to and always asked if there was anything else we needed and kept all the tables clean.

As for the food I ordered a chicken teriyaki box with white rice, broccoli and pork rolls. The sauces and flavors the over all food were fantastic and I absolutely recommend their pork rolls and sweet chili sauce!

For drinks I got a mango boba milk tea and it was perfect levels of sweetness and the boba was very soft as I enjoy the most. Would recommend. The bill was around 25$ for everything and absolutely enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant would go again for sure!“

“What a pleasant surprise! The staff were so friendly, and the wait from ordering to being served was practically nonexistent. The food was absolutely delicious—I can’t stop thinking about it. I really want to go back and try some of the other dishes!“

“One of few places to eat that deserves every bit of credit and praise possible. Always fantastic service. Surprisingly down to earth and friendly owner. Lastly the most important thing with sushi places that nowhere else seems to make good on. The fish. Bonsai has amazing fish. Yellowtail, salmon, tuna and scallop (my absolute favorite thing ever) all very fresh and easy to eat. Thank you guys for about 7 years of perfection!“

“I have ordered probably 50 times by this time. They would know. They are amazing. They are fast, they have messed up maybe 2 times, only forgetting drinks those times, but they offered to bring the drinks to me. They called to say they would be very late because they were backed up and they were very nice about it. They always treat me nice. They put in coffee news when I ask. I always get delivery. I will always order from here. Food is amazing, it's not for everyone, but if you don't like it, go somewhere else. This is my favorite delivery chinese restaurant.“

“Horrible food hard and they told me to bring it back in 12 hours once i got off wtf“

“Great staff. Very convenient, consistent. Checked on us often. Chef was amazing, food was wonderful.

Kid-friendliness: Chef examined well to our 8 yr okd how it works making and serving food, and how to clean up afterwards. Gave a great tip“

“This place is delicious! The people in the kitchen work their butts off to prepare very delicious food. The people up front are very good at their jobs aswell, they're nice and will treat you very kindley aswell. I think (like any other restaurant) people may have their specific opinions about this place but it really just depends on you specifically and what you like! If you want good food then I think this would be a good option to choose from☺️! And the drivers there are dope aswell!!“

“Delicious food is Awesome“
