One star because of the all you can eat situation. They have a leftover food policy, that's typical for an AYCE dinner. BUT typically it's excessive food waste, like not eating most of everything. I got 3 rolls, 2 I knew I liked, and 1 new. Well, one of the 2 I liked, I didn't like it. It tasted off. Like too fishy. They wanted to charge me $1 per piece I didn't eat. What. The. Shit. I ate 100% of everything else. So if shoved all of those pieces into my mouth and spit them into the trash or did the whole hide it in my napkin trick we did as children with veges they wouldn't charge me? Make it make sense. It tasted off but then force me to eat it or get charged more. It was a Philly roll, it tasted excessively fishy. I know better than to eat sushi like that. It was the only thing I had with Salmon. Acceptable and typical policy for waste is one thing, but this is a bit ridiculous. We don't come into this town much, but I don't see myself coming back except to get edamame to go.

Be cause of my great experience, I returned the following evening. My second meal was just as good as the first. Whenever I am in Fort Madison again, I will definitely have dinner at Simple Table by Hitomi. An excellent find!

MENU: Bonzai has an extensive menu, complete with most of the things you customarily find at a sushi spot. Let's talk about how confusing the text of the menu itself is. If I were to mention "orange sauce", what would you think that is? You might assume it's a sauce made with orange juice, maybe something like Americanized Chinese style orange chicken. But it isn't. It's actually spicy mayo. Likewise the "white sauce" is plain mayo, and the "brown sauce" is some sort of teriyaki glaze. Like most sushi places, they insist on giving rolls quirky names that don't tell you anything about what the dish actually includes, so if you're new to the menu, you're going to spend an hour reading and re-reading a dense list of the same dozen or so ingredients in very slightly different combinations. On one occasion, I ordered food to-go over the phone and asked for a sumo roll - I wound up with the similar-sounding summer roll. My advice is to look at the menu online and decide what you want in advance. COMPETITION: Now that we have two sushi places in town, I can't help but compare them. IMO, both are good, and are both worth visiting for different things, depending on what you like. Go to Bonzai: for OMG tuna or OMG salmon (both are better than the tuna lover/salmon lover versions at Mizu); for unagi (grilled eel); for masago (flying fish roe - better than it sounds); for softshell crab; for anything tempura, including whole deep-fried rolls; if you like seaweed salad but don't want it watered down with iceberg lettuce (otherwise, it's the same restaurant supply product at both places). Overall, Bonzai has a much better diversity of options. Go to Mizu: for the yum yum sauce, that alone is worth the trip; for fried calamari; for gyoza; for their seafood salads (the tuna mango tataki it my favorite); for escolar or anything with smoked salmon; and for larger portions in general. IMO, the dishes at Mizu tend to have a fancier presentation, if you dine-in. Overall, their sushi options are kinda same-same. They're also open seven days a week. FOOD QUALITY: Can't complain, except that it seems clear to me that they have gotten more stingy with filling ingredients in the last year or two. MENU FAVORITES: When it comes to sushi, standouts for me are the Truman roll (unagi and California salad), the fried Philly, and the spider roll (fried soft-shell crab) - my personal favorite roll is the sumo roll. I highly recommend any of the tempura items, and I especially love the seasoned dipping sauce that comes with it - they give you a generous portion, and I always save about 2/3 of it to use in a homemade meal such as scrambled eggs; same with the extra soy sauce, I haven't bought a bottle in forever because I have so much of it from this restaurant, because I usually get food to go. MENU FAILS: I just think it's odd that the sign outside describes the restaurant as a steakhouse... I mean, steak is the first thing on the list, and maybe that was true in ancient times, but in the eleven years I have lived in the area, I don't recall ever seeing steak of any kind on the menu. FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: The main staff are (I suppose) a husband and wife team. Both are cordial and efficient. No complaints. The restaurant itself is small, and on more than on occasion I have seen a line queuing up before they open at 5:15pm - if you want to be guaranteed a place, especially on a Friday or Saturday evening, get a reservation. Lunch is take-out only. KITCHEN SERVICE: I have to say, they are superb when it comes to consistency, on the whole. There was one occasion when I ordered the OMG salmon and it came covered in a PILE of chopped scallions, but I chalk that up to training a new hire. Overall, everything I have gotten here has been well prepared, and accurate to what was ordered (which isn't easy, given the dozens of slightly different variations of rolls to choose from.) ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is always dimly lit, which I find a little annoying, especially with the black walls. The decor is nice, if a little plastic. A+ for really clean bathrooms.
