    Tom Ka Soup
    Ronni U.

    I had this place for the first time today and am quite confident I will not be back. I ordered it to go at lunch time as it seems to be a popular lunch spot. I had to call in the order as there is no online option. Though, it was rather straightforward. The first thing I tried was the soup. I was told that it was in a big container but still the same amount. Though, you can see by the line that it wasn't the case. It was also clearly separated and I took the pic after much stirring. It was unlike any Tom kha gai I've ever had. It was one note and filled with rice noodles and even cucumber. I couldn't eat it. Next up was the spicy tuna. It was a terrible texture so no amount of soy or wasabi could save it. Lastly was supposed to be tofu pad Thai but it was full of the strangest veggies for a pad Thai: broccoli, celery, and tons of cabbage. The taste was very sweet and did not hit on any of the other notes of pad thai: sour, spicy, or salty. Was ketchup used? I hated it and the mushy rice noodle texture. I was extremely disappointed as I couldn't eat anything that I spent $30 on.

    This was AMAZING !

    Was in the area and googled the location. I received a very warm welcome upon coming in the door. I ordered a spring roll appetizer that was amazing. The dip that came with the spring rolls was awesome. My meal came and it was very appealing in sight. I ordered a dish that had a slight kick to it. When I say that it was good.. .it was good. The vegetables were cooked perfect. Even the rice was hot and tasty. I am not much into carrots but they were good also. And to complete my meal I ordered a sushi roll that was recommended by a staff member. The Dynamite sushi roll is definitely something I will order again. This place is a hidden jewel. If you are in the Kannapolis area come check Bonsai Kitchen out. You will not be disappointed!

    Great hibachi, the Kannapolis roll was amazing, small hole in the wall off the path but worth going to for sure!

    For well over a decade, this has been mine and my family's favorite comfort food. We could always…read morecount on quick, quality meals whether dining in or taking out. We place large orders every time we go, always tipping well, as the wait staff were fantastic. Tonight I called and ordered like I always do, and my sister went and picked it up. I noticed the bags and containers were different, portions were much smaller, and most upsetting, the Pink Lady roll I always get had spicy tuna mash in the middle instead of the normal whole salmon (which has always been my absolute favorite). I tasted it, realized what it was, and was disgusted. To me, spicy tuna is inedible, so I took it back to be remade, thinking that it was a simple mistake. Upon arriving, there is a new girl at the counter, and I inform her my roll was made incorrectly. She looked at it and said, "No, that's a Pink Lady." Since I had never seen her before, I assumed she was new and didn't know what she was talking about, so I told her I've been coming here for over 10 years, this isn't a Pink Lady. She then informs me that the menu has changed due to a change in ownership from the old owners to their son. So I glance at the new menu and I'm like oooookkk, so the Pink Lady is different now. Can I have the rolls remade the way I would like them please? She walks back to talk to who, I assume, is the owner, and she comes back saying that they will remake them the old way. So I'm like ok, thank you, just for my clarification, when I call in the future, how do I order to get my favorite roll, as I do not like spicy tuna. She goes back to talk to who I assume is the owner, taking a long time, before returning and saying, "This is how the menu is now, there is no way to make the modifications you want as we do not want to confuse the new sushi chef, he has only been trained on the new menu and there is simply no way to make any modifications." It was in that moment I knew I wouldn't be returning to my favorite restaurant. The interaction was very rude and dismissive and I was not informed of the change of ownership or menu changes when I called to place the order either. I don't know if it's lesser quality ingredients, inexperienced staff, cutting corners, or just the general way customers are treated during this change, but me and many more people I know will not be returning, and I've seen other people reviewing similar unsatisfied experiences. I miss it the way it was, and it's crushing to know it will never be the same. If I were the old owners who had built this into the thriving family business it has always been, I would be disappointed at the current reviews.

    Under new management Asian Cafe is still a solid restaurant. The staff is friendly and efficient,…read morealthough they do cover a lot of tables so not always the fastest but not in a bad way. The bar area and side bar seating looks like it will be reopened soon after being shut down in 2020. But the food has stayed as good as from previous owners. The menu has changed to reflect new pricing but I think you'll find your favorites from the past.
