We opted for individual menu items instead of the all-you-can-eat option, and there were plenty of choices. We ordered the Elsa roll, sashimi, and seafood boil. Overall, the value was good, and the portions were generous. I especially liked the sushi roll, while the seafood boil was less to my taste, though still decent considering the portion size. It's a good spot to stop by when you're looking for a casual bite at night.

Stopped here to eat after a hike with a friend, the food was edible but not great. The interior was…read moresmall and clean, but they had bad throwback pop music playing a little too loudly to ignore. The best thing ordered was the appetizer, hamachi kama; grilled yellow tail collar. No notes, I have yet to be disappointed by this dish anywhere I have ordered it. As main dishes we both ordered the maki combo B (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), which came with miso soup and a salad. The spoon given with the miso soup was old, worn-out plastic which had a horrible rough texture- like someone gnawed in it. The soup its self tasted fine-average. The salad was also fine, iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato, an oddly carved cucumber, and topped with the classic ginger dressing. It did not take long for the rolls to come out. The fish tasted good but the rice was rather hard and dry, like it had sat out for too long. There was also a fly that would not leave us alone, we spent half the meal swatting it away. Needless to say it satiated our hunger but we will not be back.

This is the northernmost of three Bonsai locations in the area, located in a busy shopping/business/medical area on Route 9. Parking is ample in the giant shared lot, and seating is easy to come by outside of business lunch hours (M-F 12-1PM). In warmer weather, they also offer a nice outdoor seating area. In the middle of Poughkeepsie, am I looking for Michelin-grade sushi? Not really. I'm looking for fresh fish, vibrant color, and well cooked/seasoned rice. Clean presentation, decent prices. Does Bonsai offer this? Absolutely. On top of that, they have a great lunch special menu. It gets busy during the M-F lunch rush, so I like to order ahead or online for take out, or get there a bit earlier/later if I'm dining in.

A true Poughkeepsie gem! Bonsai has been my go-to sushi spot for years, and it never disappoints…read more The fish is always fresh, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistently excellent. I have pretty high standards when it comes to sushi, and Bonsai easily meets (and often exceeds) them every time. Their lunch special is an unbeatable deal -- for just $13 you get soup, salad, and three rolls. It's generous, delicious, and always satisfying. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, Bonsai is one of those local spots that makes you feel lucky to have it nearby.

Very disappointed…read more Salted Cucumber appetizer average at best. Lacking flavor. Sushi rolls sampled were below average. Fried octopus ball were okay. Very hot and lacking flavor. Fried chicken ramen. Broth not very hot. Underdeveloped broth flavor. Ramen was good consistency. Very light on the greens and other additions to the ramen. Fried chicken cutlets star of the show. Very light, hot and crispy. Pork ramen. Same as above. Pork was fair at best. Very fatty but tender. And what's with the corn in the ramen. That's for a cup of noodle. Which actually has a better taste profile than this ramen broth. Service was good. Waiter was very sweet and welcoming. Prices overboard for the quality they are serving. Will not return.

The drink presentation was perfect!!! There were five of us, three of us ordered sushi rolls, and two of us ordered the steak.

Steaks came with a side Caesar salad, which was also delicious and we had an appetizer of fried calamari that was lightly fried and a delicious duck sauce type dipping sauce.

We were lucky to get in on a Friday night without reserve (some begging was involved)! Totally thrilled that they had bubble tea (my daughter is a huge fan). If you've never had it, it's a milk tea based drink with tapioca in the drink; you can order different flavors depending on your liking. My fav is taro while my daughter had Thai ice tea flavor this time. It's a meal in a cup as it's quite filling. The drink come with a thick straw to suck the tapioca through, it sweet and chewy at the same time. A must try if you asked me! They had a nice selection of menu items. I usually always get a sushi/sashimi combo but the crispy duck soup noodle caught my attention, so that was what I ordered. My daughter had California rolls and miso soup. Everything was delicious! The duck was cooked like Peking duck with a rich broth, big portion for plenty of leftovers. We definitely want to make this place a regular spot. I can't wait to try their sushi rolls!

I have come to understand that finding authentic Japanese cuisine in vicinity to a University is…read morealmost impossible. To be honest, this place let me down a little. FOOD - 1/5. I ordered the shrimp soba and was very disappointed. Nothing was tasty, not the dry shrimp, veggies, cheap noodles, and boring sauce. MENU - 3.5/5. There was a good selection and I wish I got the sushi instead, which is supposed to be good. Good variety and certainly better than some other Asian American menus. SERVICE - 4/5. Fast service, nice workers. Ordered to-go with no problem. This place is run by kindhearted people, who are great with college students. ATMOSPHERE - 4/5. Very quaint space, cute decor. Besides the good lighting, nothing stood out to me. It was fitting for the restaurant vibe, but you can tell most people order to go. VALUE - 2.5/5. If you are starving, this could be the place for you. The prices are typically what you would expect for the low quality but good quantity of the food. Me personally, next time I will try something else on the menu.
