Bonzai Noodle - Nottingham

I recently tried the sashimi and sushi at this restaurant. The fish quality was decent, but the servings were rather thin. The ikura nigiri was mostly rice with a thin layer of salmon eggs. The maki sushi was nicely presented and creative, I would order it again. The sake selection was limited to one type, stored in a jug and served hot. When I asked the staff about the sake, they only knew the options of small or large, with no knowledge of the variety. The staff were attentive and respectful, but lacked knowledge of Japanese. However, their Mandarin skills were excellent.

Truely appalling service tonight. We were sat down and ignored for 20 Minutes until we waved the waitress and ask if we could order some drinks. They didn 't bring our drinks until 20 Minutes later and we had to request water at least three times. Food started to arrive sporadically (one starter, one main, another starter 10 minutes later... and my friend tried her vegetarian spring rolls that were brought to her. They were actually duck rolls. Needless to say she was very upset and couldn 't eat the rest of her food. Absolutely disgusting! After all this mess we were about to pay when we were asked to pay be cash because the manager was off and this is how the staff would get paid?! What?! At least the food was great, only redeeming quality of a place we 'll probably never set foot in ever again.

The noodles aren't bad, but I've had better. The noodle and rice dishes don't feel entirely authentic and catered a little too much to the British taste... However, the sushi is to die for, and very authentic! Its not served too cold, so you get all the beautiful flavours. You must try the dragon roll! I'd come back here time after time for the sushi and tempura

We had A table of three. We had never visited before. The food was amazing, I really enjoyed it. Very filling, and extremely tasty. We went about half five on a Saturday. Wasn't that busy. Three other tables and a few take away orders happening. However, the service was quite poor. They were very polite. I understand the food comes out as it's ready. My friends starter didn't come out until about five minutes after we had all finished our main. However, It was really hard to get the waiting staff's attention if you wanted any more drinks (or to ask where the starter was). They were stood with their backs to us chatting in the corner. Also, they over charged one of my friends as the steak choice wasn't available and were offered chicken instead. That was rectified once we brought it to their attention on the receipt. My meal came to £15, one came to around £22 and another £18. We all paid in cash, myself £20, my friend £20 and the other friend £25. We never received any change. I tried to get the waiting staffs attention. However, this didn't work as they wouldn't look In our direction as they were too busy talking. We hadn't decided how much to tip, I'd have rather our change brought over rather than the waiting staff just deciding to keep our change as a tip. I find that quite presumptuous and rude. Which is a shame. As he food was so lovely, and I feel it was spoiled by how difficult it was to call any waiting staff over. I am also incredibly disappointed that they just ignored us for most of the time we were there. I shouldn't have to struggle to get their attention and ask for my change back. It just made the whole experience really really awkward and uncomfortable.

Excellent oriental cuisine just had bento boxes here excellent quality, great value for money. Not crowded. Would definitely come back here.
