Workers are friendly. Sushi is the best in town. Rock 'n roll is my favorite! I also got the dinner box with eel roll and eel teriyaki it's yummy! read more

I loved it!! Great food and great service. I haven't had such good sushi in a long time and it was reasonably priced. Will definitely go back. read more

I tried the Gyoza appetizer and an order of Chicken Yaki Udon noodles. No complaints on either dish. The chicken was very tender and flavorful with a nice flavorful sauce covering the noodles and chicken. The Gyoza were perfectly pan fried and stuffed with tasty pork and veggies. Good stuff. Definitely need to try the sushi as well as some other items of interest on the menu. read more

We just ordered takeaway last night. I think the Sushi may be not fresh. After eating, my husband n son both got serious stomachache. I ate not as much, felt a bit funny stomach too. Too bad we will not go back ever! read more

I was a little nervous to try this place because I haven't seen many cars out front since they opened. SO glad we went for dinner tonight. The tobiko and ikura were extremely fresh. The presentation was nice, and I've never had such thick pieces of sashimi. We got the 36 pieces of sashimi for two. It was delicious and extremely reasonably priced. The restaurant is very clean. I have a feeling this is our new go to sushi place. Check it out!! read more

Love this place. I'm a vegetarian so I prefer the sweet potato, mango avocado, or cashew avocado roll. I've been there about 5x now and it's been good each time. I also love that I can order online. read more

Ordered the tuna,seaweed, cucumber salad, very good. We also enjoyed 3 rolls; spicy trio roll, lobster roll, infinity roll(eel and avocado)Yummy. The lobster roll had banana in it...i could not figure out what was sweet at first...different. read more

Best sushi in town - reasonably priced, fresh, delicious Japanese food! I asked them to make tuna dumplings even though it wasn't an item listed on the menu & they were happy to special make it for me! Classy! Love this place & plan to visit weekly! read more

Bonsai - Japanese Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Basic sushi. Nothing to write home about. Sushi California in Newington or Momo in Milford (to die for) are better choices. Can't expect much from Bristol, it continues to live up to its name. For most things at least. I'm a foodie tho so others may find this place better read more

Probably one of the worst sushi places I've been to. I can't understand why people like this place. Maybe because it's cheap? I know 2 people who got food poisoning after eating here. My fiancée and I went and ordered 5 special rolls and only 1 was decent. The water was dirty. And there was hair in the salad. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Very fresh and delicious! Happy hour monday-saturday with $2.99-3.99 roles, sushi and appetizers!! I'm definitely coming back!!!

Delicious and fresh! Same servers all the time and the owners know us by face. I'm a huge fan of the special rolls and kani salad. Great menu and reasonably priced. Great for the whole family! read more

Good lunch specials. They mixed up an order by number. I was hoping to be in and out quickly since I called half an hour in advance. But still worth a try. This is my second time here since their opening. I will be back again for more sushi. 5 stars if I walked in and out in a few minutes. read more

In the middle of Bristol is this small Japanese restaurant that does simple rolls. The offers are fresh and what you expect in an Japanese American joint. read more

Very good and consistent every time I go. I've eaten at many different sushi places and this place has it down. However, they are very judgmental, not just one- all of the workers there are very rude and do not care to be nice to their customers. I love eating their food but dread having to go in and deal with their judgement/overall rudeness even if its just take out. Definitely recommend getting take out to limit the feeling of their atmosphere... read more

Nice atmosphere... Cool design... Food was very good and so was service. Like Arnold said " I'll be back".

The best sushi!!! Don't let the outside store front fool you. Very nice and inviting inside. The sushi is fantastic. Fresh food, excellent presentation. Definitely becoming my go to places to eat!! Nice to see a good sushi place in Bristol!! read more

This is always my go to sushi place! Always great food, atmosphere, and service!!! With happy hour you can get way more food for your buck and it is always good quality! read more

A small, hidden gem in Bristol, CT. It has great specials from 11am-4pm on sushi rolls and some appetizers. Everything was made fresh, the server was very polite and it was a fairly quiet restaurant. I had the opportunity to try the naruto, rock n roll and the green dragon roll, both very delicious. The rock n roll has eel and cream cheese (any roll with cream cheese is amazing!), the green dragon roll had eel and avocado (I'm a sucker for eel), and the naruto roll contained tuna, crab, and was wrapped in soybean paper, it was the only roll I had that did not contain any rice, all very fresh and delicious. This restaurant is not easy to find, so double check on google maps and your friend who has been there before to find it. I was here for a visit and forgot the exact location. read more

My new go-to local sushi place when I'm back in CT! Miso soup was a little bland and the service was attentive but not too friendly. However their rolls were delicious and they offer many unique ones I haven't seen elsewhere. Can't wait to try the other things on their menu. Oh yeah--get the Kani salad! You won't be disappointed! read more

Best sushi around!! This place has become a regular spot for us. Regardless of dining in or ordering takeout, the food is always consistently delicious! My personal favorite is the spackenkill plaza roll, spicy salmon roll and smoked salmon sushi. My fiancé swears they have the best chicken teriyaki he's ever had and is pretty much addicted to the smoked salmon sushi. The fact that it's 7 minutes from our house is an added bonus! Keep up the great work guys!! read more

This is my favorite sushi joint in town, the chicken tempura is amazing and the California rolls as well. The service is faster than others and presentation is great when it comes to how the food looks. The restaurant is really nice in the inside and would suggest this place to anyone that's into good sushi. The miso soup is also amazing by the way. read more

Clean simple atmosphere. Not very Japanese or sushi style, with many tv's playing. But I guess that's what's the vibe around here. Nice pleasant service, and the restaurant is dead... 830 on a Friday. Rock shrimp tempura is nice... Slightly heavy on the batter... Sushi pizza was great. Mostly the sushi has great clean flavor. May need a little more spice here and there but I'm sure that will come with time. We will be back for sure. :-) read more

Great place for a quick, cheap sushi lunch! Roll prices are so reasonable. Shrimp tempura was some of the best that I've had! Clean restaurant, fast service. As a visiting business traveler, I was very pleased! read more

Service was very good. The happy hour specials are such a great deal. And I don't have one bad thing to say about food. Very fresh and flavorful. read more

We wanted to try this place based on positive yelp reviews. The decor inside the restaurant was very nice and they are clearly trying to go for a higher end look, which I appreciate. Service was great. I would recommend their rolls, which were delicious. My boyfriend had the bento box, which he enjoyed. Just don't order the salmon. Oh yea, their chicken fried rice was very good as well. We will be back, just hope business gets better since it was only us and another couple on a Friday night! read more

Just went for dinner there, left and the wife and I were sick! Teriyaki roll was so fishy it was inedible. The shrimp tempura roll tasted stale, the peppered tuna specialty roll was so salty it was obnoxious. All said the worst sushi we have ever had! read more

The outside of the building leaves something to be desired but the food was GREAT - highly recommend! read more

Bonsai - Japanese Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Fresh sushi make to order, suprisingly fresh for the price. The appetizer is good, got the edamame. Tried their naruto roll and eel roll, both are great. Will def come back. read more

I get the number four every time I come in. Best sushi I've had in a very long time. Definitely give this place a chance. The service is good and the food is fantastic. If I lived closer I'd get takeout every week. read more

The sashimi and sushi rolls were lousy. They tasted like the ones to you'd get at a Chinese buffet. I was very disappointed.

My first time walking in this place and the Asian receptionist was very rude. Not pleasant and went back to counting money behind the counter. Did not ask how I could be helped. There's a bad or foul smell upon entrance ( like between rotten seafood and the smell of a toilet ). Ambiance not great. During a busy lunch time, only one customer was dining. Maybe people like this place because prices are cheap! read more

Pretty good sushi. Usually get the bonsai box for dinner and you get quite a bit for about $16 or so.

Bonsai easily has the freshest sushi in the area, with a wide variety of raw, cooked, and speciality rolls to suit every taste. Service has always been prompt for both takeout or dine in, and the waitstaff is always pleasant! read more

This place was below average. All of the rolls were unraveling to the point of no return, I had to actually use my hands to grab them which in my opinion is unacceptable coming from any sushi chef. Doubtful an itamae of sushi is at this place. Also the octopus was very chewy and the sashimi slices were uneven. All of this tells me the preparation and presentation just isn't there. To me sushi is an art and that art form must be respected, if it isn't then you're a disgrace to the lifestyle and dignity of a true itamae of sushi and shouldn't call yourself a sushi restaurant. I ordered 6 miso soups and 4 came in a normal container and 2 came in these little baby containers about 1/3rd of the size. Shame on me for not taking everything out of the bag to check when I was in the restaurant but you would think you could actually trust that you might actually get what you pay for. That seems like an impossible task in this day and we have to always complain to get anything done right. I got takeout on a Saturday night at 6pm and not 1 customer was in the restaurant. For $119 this place was very overpriced for what you get, I will not be back. read more

Prices are very reasonable and staff is friendly but this was my second time there and not all of the sashimi seemed very fresh. Several pieces I left on the plate because it just did not look safe. Also, both times when ordering Sushi and Sashimi for Two it comes with a soup and a salad. One would assume that since it is for two, that there would be two soups and two salads, nope, just one of each! I honestly can't see this place being around in another 6 to 8 months. I would love to have a variety but Fuji seems like a much better choice even though the prices are higher. Hopefully they Bonsai can get it together and be successful. read more

Hands down my favorite place to get sushi local! Me and my boyfriend take advantage of their amazing happy hour AT LEAST once a week. The fish is so fresh and the sake is quality. I highly recommend going out of your way to try Bonsai read more

Very good. Tried Bonsai last night with my husband and son. Nice presentation and fresh too! We will be going back regularly. Each needed "to go boxes" after ordering the bento box. Inside is remodeled and looks nothing like the old Italian Deli "LaFamilia." Check it out. read more

Best Place to go for some awesome Sushi in Bristol. Fresh!! Be Sure to try the Shrimp Tempura, and Chicken Fried Rice!! Very Clean, and Elegant. read more

Very good sushi, and a great variety. Only downside is that there really is not a bar so not to many options for mixed alcoholic beverages. Would definitely go back when i'm in need of sushi. read more
