The food was very meh. The squid was so peppery it was almost inedible. The rice noodles had zero protein in it, boring and small. For the cost, this place is incredibly weak

Food was creative and delicious, service was friendly, and the MSG martini is life changing. It's nice to visit a popular restaurant that actually lives up to the hype.

Will dream of the XO noodles forever (or at least until I can have them again). 10/10 worth the hype.

Everything we tried was delicious. From the Ousters to the cocktails, the Sticky-rice. I have never tried Cantonese food before and it could be a new favorite!!

Came here with my friend for a nice girls night! We got a reservation at 9 pm and it was crazy packed when we walked in. A bunch of people waiting. Took a bit to get our table but seemed like it was just people staying too long that caused backup. The place was sooo cute and cool and the bathroom was like a mini club which I loved. Music was perfect, playing all my favorites. Waitress was AWESOME and super helpful. We got espresso martinis which came out quick and green beans and wontons to start. Green beans turned out to be our fav fish and were delicious with some fried bread on top. Great flavor. Wontons were good too and had a curry/Indian flavor. I thought they could have been hotter (temp and spice level), but we enjoyed them. we also got the noodles. I personally don't like the rolled noodles and I thought the flavor was weird. But my friend loved them. Overall really thought this was a cool place and enjoyed our experience but didn't wow me like other spots in NYC. I'm also really tired of cocktails being $20, but I guess that's just what the reality is these days.

OK, so I came here tonight and I have never heard of this place before. Everything was pretty good nothing was amazing and nothing was terrible. I will say that the shrimp with the candied walnuts were really good and the long beans were also pretty good. I ordered the mussels with the shoestring fries and when it came out, it had pieces of what looked like some kind of pork on top so I asked the server is that pork? and they said yes and I said oh no I can’t eat that so they brought it back and gave me the menu to pick something else, and I asked if I could have the same thing but with no pork and they said they couldn’t do that because it was in the broth so when I looked at the menu again, I realized it mentioned nowhere that there was pork in there, which is kind of annoying because if it wasn’t directly on top, I would’ve never known it was in the broth. I heard this place is extremely popular and I don’t know I’ve had much better food for lower prices and just better food in general. I also was not a fan of the flounder at all. It tasted like it had piña colada sauce on it, but my partner liked it so..

THE PANZANELLA. I haven’t stopped thinking about the PANZANELLA since I last went 2 months ago. Best bite in Brooklyn??? We ordered 2 for a group of 6 and we probably should have just ordered 6. Everything is good… the noodles are awesome.. the green beans are divine… and the outdoor patio tables are super uncomfortable

The mussels were good, the broth was extremely flavorful and creamy, but way too salty. The fries also ended up a bit soggy, and we needed more fries for the broth, if that was the intention. We ended up with a bunch of leftover broth that was too salty to drink on its own. Some bread would have been nice for this.
The chow feung was pretty good, but really small and underwhelming for the price. I also thought this was too salty. The texture of the rice noodles was nice though, and i really liked the flavor of the dried shrimp.
The bkrib.. It was good. I really liked the fluffinesses and the flavor of the bread, the sauce on the meat, and it was cooked okay. Maybe a bit overcooked. The onions and pickles provided a nice contrast. Not show stopping though. This was also too salty.
The half chicken was pretty good as well. The broth was my favorite part. The flavor and cook on the chicken was good, but the rice didn’t really make any sense. It was yummy, but it felt as though the rice and the chicken were two completely separate dishes. The chicken was also too salty.
I would say the food is pretty good, maybe not worth the price, and my main issue is the overall saltiness of the dishes. I typically eat saltier foods than my peers, but even after drinking 3 full glasses of water during this meal, my mouth is left with a tingling feeling and I need more water.
Second time here. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious.

I’ve been a couple times over the past 2 years. The food is good. There are many flavourful dishes. The staff are always friendly. It’s a little over priced for what it is. But overall a good time.

Made the “trek” to Brooklyn and was excited to try Bonnie’s. Service was good- the server was knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant. Had heard ravings about the MSG martini which we tried, and also tried the sour cherry Negroni - neither were spectacular and the martini had a strange aftertaste.
For food, we ordered the chrysanthemum salad (Don Angie’s is so much better) - which was a large portion but mostly cabbage (?), the long beans were too mushy for my liking (liked the fried crullers but they were overly salty), the fuyu cacio e pepe mein which was just ok, and the sundae for dessert which was not that interesting (I liked the fried condensed milk). We also had the shrimp with walnuts and broccoli which was pretty basic. Overall, the food was pretty disappointing and I would not go back…

Bonnie’s has such a great atmosphere—lively, fun, and perfect for a night out. The menu is designed for sharing, which makes it even more enjoyable. Every dish we tried was flavorful and unique, but the real standout is the sandwich—it’s absolutely amazing! Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

you really can’t go wrong with anything at Bonnie’s! The Henny Kravitz cocktail is by far my favorite, and all the food is amazing too
