Bonsai Bistro - Richmond

It was a quiet Monday evening so it wasn't too busy but the food and service was excellent. The gyoza was the best I've had in many years as the chef cooked it properly, not baked or just fried, but steamed too. A lovely restaurant with great food.

Authentic sushi in a cosy setting, great service. Highly recommend.

Great food freshly prepared. Chicken Teriyaki arrived sizzling at the table. Freshly prepared sushi. Great service too

Great food. Great time and great service. Thank you very much.

Lovely food for a reasonable price. We will definitely be back

Great quality food and, friendly and professional service really enjoyed

Yum. Good range of dishes and speedy service. A little wait to pay at the end but it was during the busy “fringe” so understandable! Would come back for more.

Fantastic food, great service and a great atmosphere. Very good value for money!

Scrumptious and excellent value for money with great service. Yum!

Excellent food despite it being very busy, good service from staff.

Really lovely food, fantastic choice and all really affordable. A wee hidden gem in the city.

Great food, friendly staff and good service. The coconut panna cotta was delicious and the pineapple, chilli and basil salsa was amazing.

Very enjoyable with good food and lively atmosphere. Great value to.

Food was really tasty and reasonably priced. All tasted fresh and was prepared really quickly. We had left overs which they offered to box for us. Which i thought was really great (if we hadn't been going to a show id have done that) will most certainly be visiting again when we are back in the City. Will also recommend to all. Great work guys.

Great food and service. Will be back again soon. Thanks.

A continuously brilliant place to get authentic, tasty, cheap food! Closest to actual Japanese as I've ever found in Edinburgh. Staff proper know what they're doing and talking about and the quality is really too notch.

Excellent service and excellent food! Thank you so much :-D

We have a family tradition of eating Japanese food Teppanyaki if we can get it) on the 4th of July and chose Bonsai whilst visiting edinburgh. We were not disappointed - in deed were really pleased to eat high quality delicious Japanese food in a place with great ambience and excellent service.

Excellent food as always. Friendly staff and great efficient service

Excellent sushi made proper Japanese style with passion for cooking and flavour

Lovely food, the gyōza were excellent and the cocktails were very nice

Venue does not exist. It had closed. We were not made aware of this when we booked. Your website failed in its most basic function- this is a restaurant that does not exist.

Excellent food, good value and reasonably priced. Very attentive service. Slightly dated decor but this doesn't detract from the overall experience. It gets my recommendation and we will be returning.

Great casual bistro with a good variety on the menu plus some daily specials. Well prepared sushi and teppanyaki. Really enjoyed my first steamed red bean paste filled buns too.

Perfect as always. Been coming here for a long time. If you like specialty Japanese and sushi. Chilled atmosphere? Come here?

We had a great time. We went with our kids aged 5 and 7 and they also had a great time. We've been to this restaurant many times. It is a bit expensive but that is the only thing I can say against it.

Very nice place, a go to for sushi in Edinburgh - great staff too.

Food was amazing however waited nearly 30 mins for our food and drinks order to be taken

Excellent food, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Good discount card:)

Good as always! Freshest sushi in Edinburgh friendly staff and decent calm music

The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was beautiful with lots of choice on the menu. We enjoyed every single dish as well as the dessert.

Food is absolutely excellent, and outstanding value for money. It’s a pretty small place though, so the tables are rather close together. But overall it’s very good.

Great food. Excellent variety of dishes to suit all tastes

Great food, quick service, friendly staff and good value! This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh and I would not go any where else.

There was great service as always and the food was brilliant. Didn’t fall back on anything and we will definitely be going again. Food isn’t overpriced - you pay for quality

Lovely little quiet restaurant, a stones throw from the busy main road. Had a groupon voucher which was dealt with in a professional manner. Friendly, fast service and lovely food! Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Very helpful staff member, lovely delicious food served quickly and hot. Also very good value for money. Good choice of dishes and we were guided by the waiter as we had not eaten Japanese before.

Good varied menu. Menu represents excellent value for money. All food result prepared to order. Food well presented. Good quick service and friendly restaurant staff

Delicious food, clean and very friendly staff! I would recommend if you’re looking for a Japanese restaurant that won’t cost you too much! Really good value

Great food as always. Fresh and healthy option to spend nice time with friends

Great atmosphere and even greater food. The food is so good that even the most awkward for trying new things would enjoy it very much.

Interesting, tasty food, and good cheerful service in a lively environment. It was very good value for money. All in all a good experience and we'll definitely be back.

Lovely food and good value. They coped very well with our table arriving and ordering at different times as we were meeting between various events at the Fringe

Really good! Lovely food for a great price. Great atmosphere and severed were very pleasant. Loads of specials to choose from as well as a wide selection of mains

The quality of the food was excellent. Evrything made was very tasty. The service was a little slow. The entry door would noisy bang shut. It needs to be repaired so as not to do that.

Great value food. Lots to choose from on the menu as well as specials on the blackboard. Good quality food and helpful friendly waiting staff.

We come here alot, excellent as always. love the new place! much bigger than the last next door. try the gyozas, amazing! bento boxes are fab too, reccomend to anyone!

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is great, it's got nerdy decor, and it's reasonably priced. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!

The food was lovely. However the menu clearly states items that are gluten free with a ‘gf’ symbol. When the food arrived I was told I should have requested a gluten free version as the sauce wasn’t gluten free. This should be clear on the menu, if you need to request gluten free then say that on the menu. It runs the risk of people getting ill the way it is now.

The restaurant is colourfully decorated with Japanese art and we were seated promptly at a cosy table. We offered several rolls of sushi, pork gyoza, crispy noriten seaweed, umiboshi and sake. Everything was delicious, particularly the seaweed and the rainbow roll. We really enjoyed the sake too. We finished our meal with a refreshing glass of iced plum wine. Service was fast and friendly and the bill for two reasonable. Have always loved this place and this was my partner's first experience of it. We'll be back soon!
