Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and medium in size. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, pretty packed, but mostly takeout.

Something I loved about this menu was it had Japanese options but also some classic Chinese take out favorites. My partners go to shrimp fried rice actually was tasty and a nice portion size.

I sat at the sushi bar both times I dined here. I don't know if customers who sit at the regular tables get a complimentary appetizer but when sitting at the sushi bar, I did. Both times. Next time, sit at the sushi bar. The first was a seared tuna cut thin, and served with a ponzu sauce. The second was cubed salmon and avocado which was also served with a ponzu sauce, a little tobiko (flying fish roe), and deep fried panko, for crunch. Both were probably the highlights of the meal. Nigiri zushi - hit the spot but was not particularly noteworthy. On the first occasion, the nigiri seemed fragile. The sushi rice didn't seem to want to hold together. Sections of rice clumps fell off from underneath the cut fish. I only dipped the corner of the fish into the soy sauce while holding the nigiri with my chopsticks. I didn't dunk the rice into the soy. I even tried to eat the nigiri with my fingers (washed my hands before the meal), which is a perfectly acceptable way to eat nigiri. It still fell apart. Weird. Spider roll - I like the contrasting textures of soft rice and crunchy, deep fried soft shell crab. Spiders and crabs aren't the same thing but they are both arthropods...maybe very distant cousins. Tangent...sorry. If you "need" to have sushi, Bonsai II won't disappoint.

We both got the Passion Fruit Drink, highly recommend. We also ordered the pork fried dumplings (10/10 delicious) and the crispy egg rolls (also 10/10, super hot but the crunch and flavors were perfect) for our appetizers. We split the entrees, a pork bahn mi, and grilled pork with vermicelli noodles--I wish I would've taken a picture of the bowl to show how delightful it was! The bahn mi was next level in flavor, I def. Could've eaten an entire sandwich. Heads up! There isn't any parking for the restaurant itself so keep an eye out for street parking on your way.

What makes this restaurant so special is not just the food, but the heart behind it. This is a true small business where you can genuinely feel the care and warmth the moment you walk through the door. The owner, Khan, was one of the sweetest and funniest people we've met in a long time. He was incredibly welcoming and full of personality. Talking with him felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like visiting a family friend's home. You can tell he pours himself into this place and truly appreciates every customer who walks in. We ordered the chicken pho and it was heartwarming. The broth was beautifully clear, light, and deeply comforting without feeling heavy or greasy. You could taste the care that went into it. The chicken was incredibly tender and soft, soaking up all the flavor of the broth, and every spoonful felt nourishing and cozy. It was the kind of pho that warms you from the inside out. I ordered the grilled tofu with egg roll over vermicelli since we just finished our walk on the Walkway Over the Hudson, and honestly, it could not have been a more perfect meal afterward. The cold vermicelli noodles were refreshing and silky, paired with crisp fresh vegetables and fragrant herbs that made the whole dish feel bright and vibrant. The grilled tofu had a delicious char on the outside while staying soft inside, and the crispy egg roll added the perfect crunch and savory richness. But the real standout was the fish sauce -- slightly sweet, salty, tangy, and filled with little bits of chili that slowly built into the perfect spicy kick. Once poured over the bowl, every bite became addictive. We also shared the pork banh mi, and it was incredible. The bread was perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft and airy inside with that satisfying crackle when you bite into it. The stewed pork was juicy, flavorful, and deeply savory, balanced beautifully with the fresh vegetables and herbs. It was one of those sandwiches where every texture and flavor came together perfectly. Even our 1.5-year-old absolutely loved the food and ended up eating one of the biggest lunches he's had in a while, which says everything. Places like this deserve all the support they can get. Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and the kind of small business experience that is getting harder and harder to find. We will absolutely be back.
