I absolutely loved the Sunday morning sushi. I will be back whenever I get back to Columbus. And the plum wine is the best I’ve had in a long time. We loved what we ordered!

I’ve been on a hunt for some good sushi in Columbus and this is the place you want to come to! You will definitely have to try the crab raccoon too. By far my favor I’ve come across.

Lovely setting and an excellent selection of Japanese and Korean dishes. Service was excellent and fast. We enjoyed our experience and highly recommend the Appetizer Platter and the Bulgogi. This is a great place for KDrama fans to come and try the various Korean dishes they see on the shows!

I think ownership of Bonsai changed hands recently so I've been curious to see how things have been. Ordered takeout here because there was a need for soft foods (weak teeth...chatter with me). The soondubu did the job! Silken tofu, check. Piping hot soup even after getting home, check. Seafood AND pork belly in broth, bonus points. I also liked the inclusion of a few banchan! Unfortunately, I think I was really put off by the jjamppong because it was sooo salty. Jjamppong is one of my favorite noodle soups of all time and I appreciated that Bonsai was generous with the variety of seafood and the size of the dish. But I was just so thirsty afterwards from the saltiness. When I reheated the leftovers, I tried to add water to dilute it but it was still pretty unbearable :( I'm disappointed because I've been devoted to this restaurant for a long time, but I'm hoping it was just an off day! And maybe it would have helped to enjoy my food in the peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant itself? Idk

We all loved this place as much as we love our own children. If I could bounce it upon my knee and sing it lullubys, I would. 5 stars ?.

Bonsai is located in the Kingsdale shopping center and the inside looks pretty much like any Chinese restaurant/ buffet you've ever been to. It's small but cute and the tables are pretty close together. I heard way too much of a conversation that wasn't meant for me the service is fine, they hand you a menu, you order and that's about the extent of that. It did take quite a while for them to refill water or ask if we needed refills on our drinks. The salmon was pretty good, full of Asian flavors and cooked to the right doneness. I didn't think I would like the potatoes as they are served cold, but those were pretty good as well. The sushi is okay, I guess for the price point it's decent. Out of the 4 rolls we ordered, the veggie one was my favorite. I just don't see myself making a trip back here for sushi, there are definitely better options in Columbus.

The food was great. I don't eat Japanese and Korean food very often, so I totally enjoyed this salmon teriyaki. Yum and since I didn't pick the traditional sides- the flavors were interesting.

Was there Dec 9th and as a person who traveled globally. The quality of this Asian bistro is second to none. If you are in Upper Arlington area. It's worth the trip. Flavors are outstanding and the service is very good.
