Bonsai - Invercargill

We visit this restaurant every week, and they remember our order. The food is not only reasonably priced but also delicious.

"I need to explain how to order the miso soup. If you're using delivery, please provide instructions on how to include it with your order."

I discovered this restaurant by chance during a visit to Invercargill. To be honest, it wasn’t the most inviting place at first glance; the interior was quite chaotic, with boxes piled up on one side of the room and a maze of tables that made it hard for customers to figure out the waiting line. (This has improved since then.) However, the food was excellent, and the service was really friendly. It seems to be quite popular; at least, it was bustling when we were there. I give it a solid 4 stars despite the initial chaos.

Been here many times over the last 8 years .I found it pretty good the serving size is the best I have ever come across ,I like the Bento box lots of fresh Salmon and nice tempera Veggies. The Miso Soup nicely made but Luke warm last visit .The Service has always been very good but during beginning relocation it was lacking but now it is excellent and food is very good .Shame no beer now .Location in knew mall would be a game changer for them.Highly recommend to anyone prices are best around for off the menu .

I'm always a little disappointed by Bonsai. Having visited quite a few times over the years the food quality has rarely impressed me. However it's fast, affordable, convenient and right in the middle of town, so I still find myself returning. Today I picked up what I thought was a standard 8 pack of sushi but noticed a sugary syrupy sauce leaking from the plastic container and onto the seat of my car. It was apparently hidden underneath the sushi very odd, no other sushi place in town adds a sauce like this. It wasn't very nice either almost tasteless in fact, and had absorbed into the underside of all my sushi. Stick to just ginger, wasabi and a soy sauce packet unless customers specifically order extras please! yuck! :
