Cosy liittle place. Just perfect for a freezing cold February evening.. Superb selection of vegetarian dishes and great service. They don't skimp on the portions. All in all a fab dining experience. Looking forward to another visit.

Food is good and fresh, but the portions could be bigger for the money you pay. Decor is a bit dated. Could do with a lick of paint. Overall it's ok, but lacks the wow experience. It's just ok

They allowed us to use a groupon for two people for all three, which was nice. However the food wasn't as good as it normally is and the portions seemed very small.

The food was absolutely amazing, it has a cosy atmosphere, the service was excellent, everyone was so friendly, and on hand to help with fussy eaters, we took the kids here, the guys were great with the kids and made them feel welcome, can't wait for my next visit.

It's not a flashy restaurant, but what it does it does really well. We always love going to Bonsai and because of the reasonable prices we can go quite often.

I love that place but it would benefit from an extra waiter/waitress in the evening. The girl was lovely and very helpful but couldn't manage a full house on her own.

My dining partner enjoyed it very much. I found it interesting and the food good but unexceptional. Service was good. I was put off by seeing a large bluebottle (fly) buzzing around our table which is unsettling in any restaurant but especially where uncooked food is served. It buzzed right into my partner's ear and caused him to drop his chopsticks in surprise.

Food was delicious, we ordered a round and then more of favourites. Restaurant was very quiet (I guess many people don't have sushi for Burns Night supper), just the atmosphere we were looking for this time.

Lovely little restaurant in a nice location that doesn't break the bank. Ate here back in 2009 and it was great and to come back and it not change in quality of food or service is fantastic

A gem of a place. Very authentic Japanese food. Sushi was particularly good. My wife, son & I found plenty of things to share. Lovely atmosphere - very good use of a relatively small space - service was friendly, prompt and helpful. Couldn't recommend Bonsai more highly.

It was awesome! Go eat be happy that's what we did! The food is so fresh you'll feel good afterwards even when you're stuffed. Not many folk can say that. Plus they give you a 20% discount card after the meal as a goodwill jester. It's not bad at all. Service equally awesome.
