Bonzai Sampler
Sloane W.

The cashier was friendly answered all of my questions, there are a variety of options. The prices are reasonable I think the only reason I'm not giving a full five stars is the salad wasn't as fresh as I had hoped but everything else was stellar

These are super delicious!
Jennifer L.

Man these guys make great pot stickers. I honestly can't review anything other than the potstickers. I found this food truck at a dumpling festival and was delighted to find them again at Marina Heights, close to my work. Great food, served promptly. Hit them up when they're near you!

Teriyaki chicken bento
Jon H.

Back at the office this week and needed something quick to eat. This food truck was outside our lobby so I gave it a shot. Really nice owner, answered my few questions and offered a couple suggestions. I went with the Teriyaki Chicken Bento. It was ok...the teriyaki sauce was really good and had a good kick to it. The portion was on the above average size which was nice. The chicken was a little on the chewy side, so next time I'd opt for a different protein.

Ordered their KFC plate $12 for a medium rice bowl, kfc in spicy mayo based sauce, poached egg and Kim chee. Great value considering they were at the bao festival in Peoria and an ube bao was going for $5 a pop. Chicken was crispy light and flavorful. Kim chee cold and spicy, egg cooked to perfection. I'd definitely purchase again.

24 carat gold crab bao & braised pork belly bao
Rebekah D.

This food truck was at the Bao & Dumpling Festival. The line moved pretty quickly. They were nice. I ordered the 24 carat gold crab bao. The steamed bun was soft, a perfect little wrap for the delicious fried crab. All of the flavors complimented each other. Obvi the gold is for a little "razzle dazzle" but I do not care. It wasn't overly greasy or salty. 10/10 definitely would eat this again. At $12 it was a touch pricey for a single bao, but omgggg. It was amazing. The other bao that I got was the braised pork belly. This one was juicier, so it was a bit messier. Flavors were still on point. Steamed bun was perfect and I definitely love jalapeños with braised pork belly. So good. Between the 2 of them though, the crab bao was definitely the better one. Related but unrelated- this makes some bomb picnic food. So if you wanna be on a cute date and have something delicious, it's not too messy, super delish and it seems fitting to eat on a picnic blanket when it's like 75 degrees with a light breeze. Do something better than charcuterie and wine. Get some Bonzai Boyz.

Shrimp and pork belly bun at the az dumpling festival

Found them at the Az dumpling festival and ended up stopping by twice! They are friendly and efficient and the food is delicious!

Pork belly and Korean fried chicken buns
Erin D.

Tried this food truck for the first time at the Arizona Bao and Dumplings festival and it was amazing. They had mini buns as a festival specialty and I thought I was eating at a fancy restaurant! The Korean fried chicken and kimchi one was my favorite. Bursting with flavor and traditional kimchi. The pork belly bun was a close second with a little jalapeño for heat and lots of good flavors. And they looked so perfect like they were right out of a Food Network show. Any time so see this truck, it will be a must-eat for me.

Bao Buns. Korean Fried Chicken (left) and Braised Pork Belly (right).

I got two bao buns. One Korean fried chicken and the other braised pork belly. It was not good, the bun itself was dry not moist and soft. Look at the photo and see the cracks. I think the buns were left out which caused them to dry out. The braised pork was a major let down as it has no flavor, you can tell by the color of it. The crispy chicken was barely crispy and again no flavor.

Fried rice with crispy chicken
Mark C.

This is a food truck that sells wings, fried rice, and bentos. I decided to try out their fried rice with crispy chicken. This cost me $13.03. It was a good amount of food and it was nice and hot when served. However, nothing about it felt extraordinary or bad. It was a passable meal.

Attended the AZ Asian Fried Chicken Festival yesterday which Bonzai Boyz was one of the food vendors. Their food looked better than any of the other trucks so we decided to give them a try. Waited in line for a couple minutes which gave us time to explore the menu. We ended up trying the Korean Fried Chicken Rice Bowl and had to try all 3 varieties of Bao Buns on the side. The food was really good all around. If you have the chance to eat here, the Chicken Kimchi Bao Bun was the best of the three we ordered, but both the Fried Shrimp and Pork Belly ones were also delicious as well.

Noah S.

Any time I see this food truck it's an immediate get out and get some. I love their bao, each of them has a unique flavor. The portion size isn't the biggest, but the variety of flavors is worth it. The soft shell crab bao is my favorite, the crisp texture of the crab really shines.

Korean Fried Chicken Bento Box
Vanessa H.

I first tried this awesome food truck on recommendation from a friend several years ago. They came to the Gilbert food truck event every Friday. I had the pork belly bao buns and they were AMAZING! Such great flavor and so creative to use bao buns as a "taco". They are so well balanced and delicious. I just had their food again tonight. I got the fried rice with grilled chicken and my boyfriend got the Korean fried chicken bento box. We also got an order of crunchy rolls that comes with a sweet and sour sauce. All of the food was piping hot and had great flavor! The fried rice was a good portion with lots of chicken -- I have leftovers! The Korean fried chicken was tasty and the breading had a great consistency. The rolls were delicious although I would have liked a little more veggies in them. Great food! Can't wait to try more items on their menu.

The Truck Service Side

My family has enjoyed this truck, at least a dozen times in various locations. Next party we have, I'll probably reach out for a quote for catering. Depending on where the truck is parked will depend on the ambiance... So plan accordingly since it's the summer. Thank you Bonzai Boyz for your top notch service & yummy cuisine.

We started with the cucumber salad, which was wonderfully crisp and refreshing, followed by the spicy wontons. Those were a particular highlight, with a beautifully aromatic sauce featuring an almost licorice-like herbal note and just enough heat to keep things interesting. The chicken xiao long bao were delicate, savory, and filled with flavorful broth. We also tried the sheng jian bao combo, which had pillowy-soft tops and beautifully crisp, sesame-studded bottoms without any excess oiliness. The restaurant can get busy, but the kiosk waitlist makes the process straightforward, and service was attentive once seated. A satisfying little dumpling destination that punches well above its price point!

He was extremely kind throughout our entire visit and told us we could sit anywhere we wanted. No one else was in there at the time so right away he came over to ask us what we would like to drink. We were also ready to order so I got the pork tonkotsu ramen with pork chashu for $14 and my mom got the teriyaki chicken for $12. Both of those come with 2 gyozas and a chicken skewer. The food came out extremely fast but don't let that fool you because the speed did not compromise the quality or taste! The ramen was so delicious and huge, the broth was flavorful, the noodles were the perfect texture with a flawless egg on top. My mom loved her teriyaki chicken and especially the gyozas! The portion sizes are great too we both were able to leave with leftovers for later. No one else came while we were there so it was super quiet and peaceful inside. This place feels like a hidden gem that we'll definitely be coming back to!

The noodles were great texture, the broth was super flavorful, and the sides were quite nice. I've been thinking about this meal every day since. It is a small spot, almost looks closed from the outside. There was just one server who appears to be the owner, and he was very nice and attentive. He checked in to make sure we knew how to eat the noodles properly and gently let us know when the kitchen and restaurant were closing. The croquettes were very nice, and I normally am not a huge fan of takoyaki but the octopus texture in these was nice and soft. There was not too much octopus in them though, so if that's important to you... :( Would definitely come back and probably order the exact same thing...

The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified. Because it was so busy it took a while for the server to come over but he did with waters which was nice but then the menus are all on QR codes -- which is annoying because it is hard to look at everything and because the menu is very confusing it would have been nice to see everything on paper. The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.

I had this place saved for some time as it nearby, and I have to say "thank you" to all my Yelpers as the food and the service matched at the positive feedback. Parking was fairly simple as it's located on the corner of Dobson and Guadalupe, and once inside, the staff was very welcoming and provided the menu. The TVs were some Pet channel full of cuteness (that's the only word that comes to mind for me to describe), while the other had something similar but maybe of bloopers. Either way, it was cool and blended in with the stylishly cool decor. As for lunch, I decided to go with the Bento box that included Beef and Broccoli as the main dish. It came with a side of rice, spring roll, a crab ragoon, and 4 sushi pieces. They did bring out a courtesy salad, which was nice. I went with a fountain drink but they do have Sake, Beer & Wine. Service and speediness of the food were good, and as you can tell by my photo, it was steaming hot when it arrived. Overall, everything was on point, and I think I'll come back and try another Bento box lunch special.

Anyway, Clever Koi came to the rescue and it was a great experience! I have been to the location in Phoenix, but it was a dinner visit and the restaurant was very dimly lit. This time it was lunch, so it was nice and bright. The service was wonderful!! I did not catch their names, but the the gentleman and lady who served us were very helpful. We ordered 3 of the Steamed Buns: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and the Bun of the Moment, which happened to be Drunken Shrimp, I believe. I didn't taste the Hot Chicken, but the other two were super tasty!! Portions were great and every morsel was devoured. The Krazy Fries were damn delicious!! Packed full of flavor and very filling, it's a great dish to be shared. I can't pass up pork belly!! Lol I forgot what drink my friend ordered, but I had no shame and had the Pornstar Martini, yessir!!! It was quite comical when our server mentioned that most people are embarrassed to order it because of its name, but I proudly said it loud and clear! That drink was perfect for brunch/lunch! Overall it was a great visit, minus the twitching fly that was on our table after we were seated. We didn't know if it was half dead or what, but my friend just swiped it across the table until it fell off. I'm not sure they have any control over flies coming into the restaurant as people enter and exit, but it was off putting to have to shoo them away while you're having a meal and trying to converse. Other than that fly issue, the visit was solid. Prices aren't bad and there's a big parking lot outside the establishment as well as a public parking garage not far away. I highly recommend Clever Koi if you've never been!
