$11.95 lunch special includes salad. This is my second time here. I live in NYC and couldn't wait to return.

This is my second time here. I love how the taste of the food and the excellent service along with the wine and drink options gives me the impression that I am in a fine dining establishment. The food is freshly prepared and delicious and with value rated prices.

Spicy Scallop Roll, Spicy Tuna roll
Preston L.

Walking in, the place is very cozy and intimate. There is a decent amount of seating and has dim lighting, could be used as a cute date night spot or if you want some pretty good sushi. Going on a Thursday night, it wasn't busy at all and got seated right away. The server was friendly and welcoming, was attentive on anything we needed as well (filling waters, taking orders, boxes for leftovers). The food was great and worth the price tag, both the rolls (spicy tuna and spicy scallop) tasted fresh and my friend who ordered the special rolls was satisfied as his ordered was surprisingly large. Not the normal sized rolls, so if you do order the special rolls, they are sizable. If you're looking for sushi in the area, I would check this place out.

Spicy Seafood Salad
Darren G.

Pretty quite place, I noticed and seems more of take out then sit in, all things considered, the service was pretty lukewarm at best. Like half of the staff was sitting down eating then doing much. Still the ones working did acknowledge me and my friend and were polite and pretty patient considering it took a while to settle on what to get. The spicy seafood salad was alright, I mean could been spicier and the shredded cucumber could been much more thinner since it was way more the actual seafood anything. The sushi cake was very good, plenty of salmon and tuna, not too thick avocado slices and some finely diced mango plus plenty of sauce to spoon onto each bite. Did find it odd, when the menu listed the cake it said your two selected seafood and it did not list them and when I asked the waitress it was like she had no idea, I mean you should know the menu ahead of me since you work there. Angry dragon roll was definitely the best part, a fully loaded roll with a decent amount of lobster salad on top, crunchy shrimp tempura on the inside, the usual creamy avocado slices and spicy diced tuna as well, honestly hard to eat the pieces in one bite. I do like eel sauce and spicy mayo on top to really brush the pieces into for more flavor, but I will tell I wonder what the pink sauce was, I joked to my friend and was like is that pepto basmal , haha still great food, and next time definitely get food here take out instead

Sushi

I absolutely love, love sushi. And with that said, I'm also super picky when it comes to sushi. I've tried too many bad sushi places and I'm always uneasy when I try a new spot. The taste of bad sushi in your mouth lingers and it's an awful thing. I am happy to report that I actually enjoyed my sushi from this place. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was pretty good. I would have preferred if the sushi rice was a bit more soft but it wasn't bad. Perfect sushi rice is truly an art. The sushi definitely tasted fresh, was ready quickly and the presentation was lovely. I would order from this location again. I'd love to try something new on my next visit.

Yes, I am giving this Chinese owned and operated, Japanese restaurant five stars. In short - the…read morefood is fresh and delicious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. This is the northernmost of three Bonsai locations in the area, located in a busy shopping/business/medical area on Route 9. Parking is ample in the giant shared lot, and seating is easy to come by outside of business lunch hours (M-F 12-1PM). In warmer weather, they also offer a nice outdoor seating area. In the middle of Poughkeepsie, am I looking for Michelin-grade sushi? Not really. I'm looking for fresh fish, vibrant color, and well cooked/seasoned rice. Clean presentation, decent prices. Does Bonsai offer this? Absolutely. On top of that, they have a great lunch special menu. It gets busy during the M-F lunch rush, so I like to order ahead or online for take out, or get there a bit earlier/later if I'm dining in.

A true Poughkeepsie gem! Bonsai has been my go-to sushi spot for years, and it never disappoints…read more The fish is always fresh, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistently excellent. I have pretty high standards when it comes to sushi, and Bonsai easily meets (and often exceeds) them every time. Their lunch special is an unbeatable deal -- for just $13 you get soup, salad, and three rolls. It's generous, delicious, and always satisfying. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, Bonsai is one of those local spots that makes you feel lucky to have it nearby.

Very disappointed…read more Salted Cucumber appetizer average at best. Lacking flavor. Sushi rolls sampled were below average. Fried octopus ball were okay. Very hot and lacking flavor. Fried chicken ramen. Broth not very hot. Underdeveloped broth flavor. Ramen was good consistency. Very light on the greens and other additions to the ramen. Fried chicken cutlets star of the show. Very light, hot and crispy. Pork ramen. Same as above. Pork was fair at best. Very fatty but tender. And what's with the corn in the ramen. That's for a cup of noodle. Which actually has a better taste profile than this ramen broth. Service was good. Waiter was very sweet and welcoming. Prices overboard for the quality they are serving. Will not return.

It's been hard to find a good ramen and dimsum place here in Dutchess County so I was excited to…read morefind Ichido and try it out. I was so happy to see Dimsum on the menu until I saw the prices! Way more expensive than what you get in the city! So I opted for the seafood ramen lunch special for $17 which came with a choice of 2 sides. Service was quick. The place was clean with a lot of tables. I read some of the reviews before coming here and they were right, the broth was not hot enough and was a little bland. So I was very disappointed. I decided to try their sesame balls despite the price - $8.49 for 2 pieces since I was already here hoping that would make it better. Unfortunately it also missed the mark. I saw other people order noodle dish and fried rice and left with clean plates - maybe those taste better. I really hoped this place would be good.

I got the soup dumplings which had a lack of depth. The broth had very little pork flavor and the fried shrimp dumplings were mostly filled with cabbage. To be honest I would've rather had frozen dumplings..There was nothing very authentic about these dumplings which I was disappointed by. I had to use a lot of soy sauce and chili oil because they were bland. The desserts are relatively small but my yuzu cheesecake had a WONDERFUL flavor. Very full of yuzu flavor. It seemed to contain actual zest and wasn't too sweet! The mochi was very very hard and wasn't chewy...don't get it. It was not good. The crepe cake looked and tasted homemade but had pretty thick crepe layers which gave it an off texture. My friend still enjoyed it for the balanced flavor.

This was a very pleasant surprise for us! We wanted ramen and found this place. It looks like…read moreevery same old take out Chinese restaurant around town from the outside but inside it is clean, bright and airy. There are lots of tables to sit at. Did I mention how clean it was? The server/cook and probably also the dishwasher was very sweet and attentive. I ordered the House Ramen and my wife picked the Chasu. Both were really delicious, not too salty or fatty and hot! I have had ramen in some place that could have used a microwave. As god as the Ramen were the pan fried House dumplings were amazing. I wish I had more room for another twelve. We're going back tomorrow !!
