My little sister ordered the rolled mangonada ice cream and I'm not exactly sure if it was the ice cream or the sauce they used (pretty sure it was the sauce) but it tasted like straight up buffalo sauce. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea boba with tapioca balls (the normal ones) and the boba balls were really hard. Not soft and chewy at all. We had high hopes but after this not sure if we would go back sadly.

The donuts are self-serve with trays and tongs. They had a wide variety available. I selected a original glazed, a pretty in pink (strawberry glazed), a chocolate and a pandan. I also ordered two K-dogs (Korean-style elevated corn dogs), and a classic pearl milk tea with the standard brown sugar boba. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. My drink was a pretty standard boba drink. Good, but nothing special. The drinks are very customizable, with ice amount and sweetness level just two of the options. The K-dogs were really tasty. I got an Potato Dog (which is a corn dog covered with crispy potato cubes and served with a fry sauce). The other dog I chose was the Gochujang Dog: their standard corn dog with Gochujang sauce. You have the option of having your K-Dog stuffed with mozzarella, a hotdog, or half hotdog and half mozzarella. I did half dog, half mozzarella on both. The cheese made the K-Dogs like huge fried mozzarella sticks. I enjoyed both, they were huge, and I ended up splitting them with a friend. I had both sauces on the side as my order was to go, and both complimented the rich cheese/dogs nicely. The fry sauce was rich and tangy, and the Gochujang a little spicy and a little sweet. The donuts were good too. This was my first time trying mochi donuts. The mochi flour gives the donuts a firmer and denser texture than your standard donut. I love other mochi desserts, but here I missed the lightness and melt-in-your-mouth quality of regular donuts. That is more of a personal preference, but something to be aware of, especially if you are sensitive to textures in food. It seemed like most of the individual flavors of each donut came more from the toppings rather than the donut itself. That isn't unusual with donuts of any kind. The service was awesome, and I was intrigued most by the K-Dogs. I will be back when I am in the mood for an different kind of treat.

The pot stickers and shrimp in a blanket were good, but they tasted pretty much the same as what you'd find at most other places. I ordered the Thai basil entrée, and honestly, it wasn't anything special. It also seemed to have fewer vegetables than what was shown in the photos, which was a little disappointing. It came with rice automatically even though I didn't request it. It also didn't have a broccoli or green beans like the photo showed. It also had cashews in it which makes me just now realize they probably gave me the wrong entree... My husband ordered the fried chicken with fried rice, and that was the standout dish. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and paired really well with the fried rice. We'd definitely order that again! It was pretty small inside, about 8 tables but it was clean. Only one server and she was nice!

To say Opening Day was a hit is an understatement! We had a group of seven and the line was out the door for a while. The owner came out several times thanking everyone for their patience. Before long there were open tables and several sat down to reserve a space while others held the line to place our orders. The decor gives a fun anime vibe, with music complimenting the theme. They nailed it with a mini Godzilla and Bonsai centerpiece on the large main table. Menu options were diverse enough to satisfy all of us; from the Teriyaki Chicken Kaiju Bowl, Tuna Poke Bowl, Spicy Salmon Onigiri, to the Iced Ube Matcha, Milk Tea Boba, Sapporo Japanese Lager, and even a N/A Asahi 0.0 Lager. It was definitely worth the wait after just missing the food carts at the market and a stroll through the blooms and festivities at the State Capitol Park. Thanks Bonsai! for the perfect wrap to a beautiful day in Salem.

I absolutely love the options they have; my favorite is the salmon nigiri as well as the sweet tempura shrimp roll. The ambience is calm and cultural, they have Japanese favorites like Ramune and "Rooster sauce". The staff is so friendly and are ready to assist in any way possible. If you don't see what you want on the belt, they'll make it for you, all you have to do is ask. I recommend this place if you want some quality sushi in a hurry. I go for an appetizer before having dinner at home, sometimes I'll go just for dinner and treat myself. It's a really great place to dine. A true gem in the Valley.
