    Bonsai never disappoints!! I live in land o lakes and I don't venture past the outlets too often, but when I do it's to Bonsai! I cannot say enough about the crab Rangoon! They are so unique and the best I've ever had! The volcano roll also never disappoints, with so much flavor and piles of crab! Yum!! The service is always very nice and prompt...and such a relaxing ambiance.

    Bonsai has hands-down the best sushi in Wesley Chapel and north of Tampa. I have been coming to Bonsai since high school and still love its charm and food. However, it could use a slight revamp or remodel since it has looked the same since day one. Due to its small size, the restaurant can get busy on the weekends. However, the service is good, and the food always arrives promptly. The best part about this place is the food. I have never had a bad meal here, and I often bring friends who love sushi. For a long time, my favorite roll has been the volcano roll; I adore the combination of flavors and crab all in one bite, especially when dipped in eel sauce! Their tempura options are fantastic, and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

    A beautiful small family sushi restaurant Very nice wait staff Beautiful presentation on the sushi. I eat at many sushi restaurants and love to find gems to enjoy. Also had the chicken fried rice and was very delicious!!!

    Bonsai Sushi has made it to the top of our list for best sushi in Wesley chapel. Hands down. The service is amazing every time. We love sitting at the sushi bar and watching the guys make the rolls. They're SO skilled and FAST. So fun to watch. The plain sushi (fish and rice) is our go to. The fish is always fresh and they do not skip on the fish. The restaurant is always clean. It's not a big restaurant but I'd say wait times (at least for us) has never been more than 5-10 minutes.

    Came to try some sushi because my sister and I were in Tampa for the Ed Sheeran concert. That exact weekend, it was also my sister's friend's birthday, and this is what she wanted. Walking in, there was only 1 couple eating, and the ambience was pretty dark. I wish it was a bit brighter but maybe that's what they were going for. We were seated in a booth. They have menus but when you are ordering sushi, you order off a piece of paper like if you were at a DimSum restaurant. They definitely operate differently from other places. My sister's friend has ordered their Krab Rangoon before and said that it was unique. I have to say, it is not like all the other krab rangoons that you have tried. The imitation krab meat and cream cheese was stuffed between 2 perilla leaves and lightly fried in a batter covered in eel sauce. It was pretty good but I wish they were wontons. The sushi was just subpar, I was not wowed. I definitely have had better from other places.

    Always a solid choice when you are craving sushi ! Fresh, delicious, fast and service is very nice !!!

    Sake Sushi (Salmon) and pink lady roll
    Jeremy C.

    Been here a few times now and each time am pleasantly surprised by the quality. The fish was extremely fresh (Friday night). I preferred the tuna and my wife preferred the salmon. The ginger sauce the pink lady roll came with was good too, but don't go crazy with it because it can be very overpowering. Also, the wasabi is very powerful here which I very much appreciate. I'll be back more after this past evening.

    Came here on Friday night with my husband. We had to make a reservation. Place was pretty packed. Food 5 stars, finally sushi place with fresh fish, good menu with nice selection. Definitely enjoyed food. We had miso soup- very good, shrimp shumai- delicious and of course sushi were pretty good! 3 stars for service- they felt rushed and overwhelmed, one guy was nice but a lady wanted to take away our menu and expect us to share one. We said we need two and didn't give her the other menu. So weird, they had plenty of menus. Also they didn't give us drink menu, we had to ask for it. 2.5 stars for ambiance- I would say place needs an upgrade. They had in the corner bunch of tables together and had some dirty towels and cleaning supplies, but then they would cram all tables together, Simone would I touch me every time they walked next to me. They should remove those nasty tables from the corner and put tables for people to seat. It's not very nice to eat and look at some cleaning supplies. Bathroom was clean but very run down. This place would be amazing if they would upgrade the inside, or at least clean it well and organize tables in the right way. They also would need some workers who are a little more considerate. Again, sushi itself were great so I would come back just for that.

AYCE for $33.95 for dinner or weekends. We were seated immediately at a comfortable booth. Our waitress was great and very attentive! I ordered the rock shrimp (not pictured). It was lightly breaded with a drizzle of I think spicy mayo. Fantastic! They have a salad bar, where I found Kani salad and seaweed salad, among other things. I ordered a vegetable tempura, which came with onion, broccoli, mushroom, sweet potato, and zucchini. Very good! Lightly breaded and fresh! For my sushi I ordered the Snow Crab roll and the Wesley Chapel 2.0 roll. The Snow Crab roll was exactly as it sounds, snow crab. It was exactly what I wanted! The Wesley Chapel 2.0 roll is deep fried with cream cheese, salmon, white fish, and avocado topped with eel sauce, spicy mayo, scallions, and masago. Very good! Excellent flavor and fresh ingredients! For dessert, I picked this delicious melon popsicle (not pictured). Loved this! It tasted like melon and was perfectly creamy! Would definitely recommend and come back!

Not sure what was going on but we did wait about 10 to 15 minutes before the server came around. But once they did everything was good. As usual the sushi was super fresh and delicious. The kitchen is always on point with the flavors and quickness. The only thing I was disappointed in was the ramen. The broth was ok but the noodles soaked up so much of the broth as I got half way through the bowl all my broth was gone. Still love the ambiance as it's modernized with a projector image on the wall and perfectly amount of lighting. Can't wait to come back again.

I ordered two rolls: the tuna tuna and the Smokey dragon roll. On the menu it stated the tuna tuna was spicy but I wasn't ready for how spicy it was! Really good with a nice punch of spice. The Smokey dragon was my favorite out of the two though. The lemon zest was such a nice flavor that stood out and made the seafood in the roll shine. My sister ordered the tom kha soup and the pad see ew with shrimp. The soup, which I tried as well, was so delicious. It tasted so fresh, it's the best version of this soup I've ever had. As for her see ew, I couldn't give my opinion because she ordered it quite spicy so I didn't try it, but she said she loved it. She really enjoyed it. Service was great, food was fantastic and the restaurant was cute and clean. Can't ask for anything else. Would definitely come back here if I was in the area!!!

The Hawaii Roll is raw with tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crunch, avocado, and mango and it is wrapped in soy paper and topped with spicy mayo and wasabi sauce. This was $18.50. I've never had mango in a sushi roll and this was fantastic! I wasn't sure about it at first but the variety of fish and the crunch with the sweetness of the mayo and the sauces was pure perfection! The Miyazaki Roll is smoked salmon, krab meat, and cream cheese. It is deep fried and topped with eel sauce. This was $10.95. Loved this! It was not overly breaded and definitely not oily. So good!! My meal also came with a choice of soup or salad. Naturally I picked the miso soup, which was great! They had a lot of options and variety!

They were super helpful when I arrived and asked if I wanted any sauces before I left. I ordered two sushi rolls, the shumai, and chicken hibachi dinner. The shumai were delicious and flavorful and were devoured in one sitting. The spicy Manhattan roll was good but very large so difficult to eat in one bite. Very good with eel sauce. The rainbow roll was also good. Seemed fresh. Clear soup was flavorful. The salad was a bit disappointing. Looks like just lettuce, sliced cucumber, and dressing. I have not tried the dressing yet as I was too full. I am saving the chicken hibachi dinner for day 2 but did have a bite of everything. Did not seem overly flavorful so I will be adding some soy sauce to it when eaten. Might also add some veggies or something to the fried rice. Just very plain. Overall it was good and I appreciated being able to order to go and eat at home.
