Bonsai has been a staple in the area for years, and it’s amazing to see how well they’ve maintained their quality over time. I used to come here back in high school, and every visit since has been just as good—if not better.
The sushi is always fresh and beautifully prepared, never once disappointing. Their cocktails are just as impressive, perfectly crafted to complement the meal. While prices have gone up over the years, the consistency in quality makes it well worth it.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere is fantastic—whether you're here for a casual dinner or a special night out, it always feels inviting and enjoyable. Bonsai remains one of my go-to spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-tier sushi and a great dining experience
After an exhilarating Everglades airboat tour, we found the perfect spot to unwind and savor delicious food at Bonsai Thai & Sushi. The ambiance was welcoming, and Amy’s exceptional service truly elevated our dining experience. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making sure our table had everything we needed with a warm smile.
The spring rolls were crisp and flavorful—just right. The menu offered a great selection of Thai and sushi dishes. This is definitely a must-visit spot for anyone in the area.
Mixed bag here. Really love the atmosphere, friendly, upbeat "family" type service, and some of the menu items. Some of the items lacked the robust flavor I'm accustomed to at Thai restaurants. The Tuna Sashimi, Gyoza, and Sumai apps were tasty, but the entrees could've used a bit more flavor, and entrees had to be reheated. Maybe I came on an off night during 4th of July? Background music was also cooler, loungier when I arrived, then went to 80s hits with commercials, then back to cool Loungey music. You should still check it out...
I’ve been eating bonsai for over 10 years. This is the first time I’ve seen a dip in the quality and service. I usually order ubereats, but I’ve never had a problem. The last 3 orders, which I usually order every week, something has been off. I believe they’re new owners, not sure if they’re cutting back on products, but I can feel it. Also, with ubereats, they use to automatically add an eel sauce to my rolls, nothing now. Looks like I’ll be looking elsewhere for my go to sushi spot.
This place was nice and clean. The waiters were nice and there was nothing to complain about. Sushi were ok and the plates looked nice. The food looked colorful and it catches my stomach. My friends and I went in around 5ish and by 6-7pm there were a lot of costumers. There is also private room for parties and group reservations. I love Thai tea and they have the best Thai tea in the area! Everything was good, the price can be pricy. It really depends what you're getting! Nice place in all!

Excellent Thai food
Nobody answer the phone.
Great service. Very friendly. Yummy food with a large range of options. Lovely atmosphere. Atmosphere is cool and calming.
Indira fue mi mesera, muy linda y atenta, la comida super deliciosa un 10/10 y el ambiente cómodo e increíble, súper recomendable
The food’s so great! Best restaurant in area!!
Don’t even think twice just go and buy sushi is good

No se si soy yo o los rols están más pequeños, los pedí un sábado en la noche no era la hora de promo ni nada por el estilo. Me asombro casi la mitad de su tamaño regular Dios! La verdad que el sabor me encanta pero para el precio ha disminuido la calidad según mi opinión espero mejoren y mi comentario les sirva para crecer
Nous étions 11 à table. Tous les plats choisis étaient délicieux et copieux. Les plats des enfants sont très copieux et ont été terminés ! 😊
L’équipe est adorable. Nous recommandons à l’unanimité !
Good service and good food
La comida increíble y aún más el servicio 100% recomendable
Excelente la comida....Creo qué sería bueno qué le coloquen más luz...
The price has gone up a lot but the quality and quantity has gone down. This use to be my go to spot near my house but last few times I have been disappointed.
Food was amazing, the only thing I have to complain about is that the waitresses always had a bad look to us for no reason, so there should be an improvement in customer service
Fabulous food. Our group tried a lot of dishes including Panang Curry, Drunken Noodles, rolls etc. Chef choice entrees were Amazing!! We loved the vibe and ambiance too. And what a cool bar.

La experiencia y la calidad de la comida es excelente!
Vinimos por primera vez y nos vamos contentos por la atencion de ROXANA, super linda , atenta y muy amable… la comida muy deliciosa y sin demoras. Somos vecinos del Doral y amamos ahora este lugar aquí 😌😍😌😍Volveremos !!!!!!!!! 10/10
GRACIAS PAULETTE!! Por hacer mi almuerzo memorable ❤️❤️❤️ excelente atención y el mejor sushi de Miami! Prueben el sushi que tiene ceviche no se van a arrepentir
great food affordable very clean place. The service was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Came for lunch with my family and Tan was sweet and very attentive! Jay has cultivated such a welcoming environment! 10/10 would come back for the Pad Thai
Went with family for lunch and had amazing time and service from Tan, our server. She gave us training chopstick things for beginners, and we really appreciated it because our family member had never used chopsticks or eaten sushi. Had the rockin shrimp, deep sea and tuna lover rolls. All amazing, our chef was J.
Will keep coming back. 😊
It was incredible. Ask for picanha roll. Glori gave us an amazing service. Thank you so much
Excelente lugar! Nos encantó!! Excelente atención de Indira! Muchas gracias
La comida exelente me encantó súper rico todo y el lugar súper acogedor y el chico que nos atendió Ken super atento y agradable al igual que la señorita Fabiana.
Excelente, la misma calidad de siempre. Muy buenos precios.
This remains one of my favorite Thai and sushi places in Miami. The curries and noodles are exquisite (shoutout to the Penang curry and the Pad Thai), and the sushi is also fresh and creative. Whatever you’re looking for, it will be delicious here. Highly recommend!
My wife and I agree that this is the best shashimi we have had in Miami. The fish was fresh and meaty. The sushi was superb. The service was top of the line. We will definitely be coming back for more.
Great food and service. We went in for my birthday, after an appetizer and entrees, bf and I had no room for dessert. They packed a free dessert with a candle to go for me. What a cute surprise and gesture.
Delicioso y con un servicio muy profesional. Volver.
Place is never open on time
Thai & Sushi offers a delightful fusion of Thai and Japanese cuisine. During my visit, I indulged in their shrimp tempura roll, California roll, chicken teriyaki, and Thai donuts:
Shrimp Tempura Roll:
Spectacular! Crispy tempura shrimp, creamy avocado, and refreshing cucumber blend perfectly. Each bite is a harmony of textures and flavors, enhanced by tangy soy sauce and wasabi.
California Roll:
A classic done right. Fresh imitation crab, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber create a perfect balance of flavors. Toasted sesame seeds add a subtle nuttiness, elevating this timeless dish.
Chicken Teriyaki:
Though not sushi, the chicken teriyaki deserves praise. Tender grilled chicken glazed in luscious teriyaki sauce, served with stir-fried veggies and fluffy rice. Each bite is a savory delight.
Thai Donuts:
Ending on a sweet note, the Thai donuts are a must-try. These fluffy, golden treats are dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of sweetened condensed milk for dipping. The combination of crispy exterior and soft, pillowy interior is irresistible, making it the perfect conclusion to a memorable meal.
In summary, Bonsai Thai & Sushi delivers an unforgettable dining experience with impeccable quality, inventive flavors, and attentive service. Whether you're a sushi lover or craving authentic Asian cuisine, this place is a must-visit.
Tan our server was great!
When we arrived she set our expectations about wait time clearly as we were a walk in on Valentine’s Day, and let us know about the limited menu as they had been closed, then proceeded to exceed our expectations across the board. Food was excellent. I definitely recommend the Bonsai Creation Roll!
Only ding on the atmosphere is that the walls are currently bare (probably related to the reason they were closed for a couple of weeks) so it made the restaurant a lot louder than expected, which made it difficult to hear each other.
PERMANENTLY CLOSED?
Went by tonight, Saturday night, to have dinner and the restaurant was closed. There is no sign on the door but it was all dark and empty inside. The tables are still there but there was nobody inside around 7:00 p.m.
Looked at the reviews and apparently people have been posting since 4 weeks ago that it is closed. I hope they are not permanently closed as the one on Miller closed down and this is the last one that was left and it was a good restaurant that always seemed to be busy.
Some of the best Sushi I ever had.
Are you guys still open? Ive been there and called and its never open anymore and no one answers the phone?...
why are u guys closed ive gone twice when it says ur open and its closed?
Hands down best sushi and Tai tea
I drove from Fort Lauderdale to meet with family for dinner and we decided to try Bonsai for the first time. Amy our server was friendly and very attentive and gave suggestions to try. The food was fresh and delicious. Overall a really good experience for us. Excellent service, thank you Amy!
We will be back.
We came later around 9:30pm and the service and food was still excellent! It was our first time trying this amazing restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant is clean and nice looking, the sushi was grade A. The sushi is just buttery and melts in your mouth. Amy was our waitress and was amazing!
very amazing sushi rolls
Mixed bag
Best thai and sushi place. The service was amazing. The hostess greeted you as you come in and the server was very attentive. I definitely recommend the fancy dragon and special fried rice. The prices were very fair and reasonable for their big portions. We had a special fried rice and it was big enough for two people at least it was for us and unless you’re really really hungry then I would add another dish or more rolls! They have a large variety. But overall this was a great experience and the service made it ten times enjoyable.
Check your bill before paying especially if it’s take out. They do charge you differently & they have became extremely cheap with the quality of food, portions and decrease in customer service.
Lobster Bomb is the BOMB! Big enough to share for 2 and the flavor is AMAZING!
This place sucksss so bad that you cannot see what your eating. For a split min I thought i was going to eat good but NO i felt like i was back in hunger games. That rice had no taste i felt like i was eating sponge and grass.(looks sad with no color) - "fried rice" more like depresión. The lady didnt even bring half of the food.
Let me not even talk about that bathroom it looked worse then the ghetto. It was just horror. DONT COME.
Sadly we went here for experience and got a horrible time, service was Good but the Food was terrible we got fried rice all the meats and ríce was awful too many onions in large slices and Good luck finding the shrimps heads
Now the prices were terrifyingly high, you are Just throwing away your money. Not for People.
Hit or miss…..
Order to dine, horrible experience, they never did the order had us wait for 2 hrs….
It’s not what it used to be.
Great food ,beautifull place and nice vibe. The waiters are awesome always REMEMBER what we order often. I highly recommend 👍.
The food and atmosphere are excellent?
Always a great experience love this place
Never has left me down. I have been coming here for years and I love it. When I have recurring visitors from outside the US, they always ask me to bring them back to Bonsai. The Kimono roll is my fav bit there sashimi is also fantastic and very fresh!
The food was great! But when we arrived nobody gave us the menus so after 10 minutes, I think the manager come to the table and start to give us services after that everything went well the only problem after that was that the guy didn’t write down the order and he missed up one of the plates so my wife had to wait more minutes to get her food but the rolls were very good!
Organic food.
las ordenes online te dicen estara en 10 min llegas y tienes que esperar 45 min.. una falta de respeto
I love bonsai, it is one of my favorite place. Food is really good but the service by amy is the best
Lady at front taking orders today 12/31/2022
She has one of the worst attitude I have ever seen.
The atmosphere here is lovely. The customer service is the best. I come here almost every week. The customer service is 100% , there is no restaurant which such a wonderful customer service in miami. The sushi is high quality I love coming here. I always comeback. Thank you for having such a nice restaurant.
Delicious!!
Muy mal servicio. Llegué y tuve que esperar unos 5 minutos para que me atendieran, luego de que me atendieron me dijeron que tenía que esperar de 15 a 20 minutos por una mesa para 2 personas. Terminamos esperando 40 minutos y a pesar de que varias mesas se desocuparon en ese tiempo nunca nos sentaron, al final me fui sin poder ordenar. Mala organización y mala atención.
Amazing experience, customer service top tier. Coming back very soon
Staff excellent food bravo always keep coming back no matter what other reviews. Thai tea the best around
Los sushi 🍱 California roll son muy ricos
Great food, service and location
Bonsai 8st is one of my go to local sushi restaurants in West Dade. I get something new every time I've gone and every time it's great food. They have Thai options for those that aren't into sushi which are also very delicious entrées. If you go, ask for Amy- she's an amazing server!
I just called this place and the person that answer the phone was extremely unprofessional unpleasant to speak to!, every question asked was a Nope Nope Nope with an attitude no specials, nothing I asked for a package of sushi maybe 50 rolls or 100 rolls she told me it’s 24h in advance and didn’t say anything else leaving an unpleasant silence like she wanted to hang up!! No wonder that place is empty all the time terrible service don’t even waste your time going to that horrible restaurant! For the money you pay go eat to a real sushi place cause this place it’s not cheap the the service is trash
Great place, great people and amazing food. This place holds a special place in my heart :)
We have been waiting for 30 minutes to be seated, they have a table available because it was Monday, the girl at the reception was rude .
Big party and lots of food comes out with 10 plates! Pans of rice and 10 forks.
Train your staff and get better
No vodka...No fish eggs...No domestic beer...service ok...but nothing special...oh and 8 dollars for a Corona beer.
Excellent service and quality, authentic as it gets
The food is of excellent quality.
Amy is the best! This is a bery good restaurant 👌 I recommend it
Chill atmosphere and good service.
This place is the worst I used to go to the one on miller and night and day difference I used to visit this place minimum 2 times a week ill NEVER BE BACK. No consistency with the food or beverages. You ask for a manager and they tell you there is “non”. Do not visit this place its NOTHING LIKE THE ONE IN MILLER.
It is not what it used to be, I’m not one to leave reviews but in this case I have to be honest. The food is great but the service is not, that took too long to ask us for the orders and delivering the food. This place used to be one my favorite but sadly I’m not coming back.
Good food and service, however there is this girl at front who never gives me my change or ask if I want it, just hands me my food and no change which I find a little annoying because usually it’s the client who chooses whether leave a tip or not.
Amazing service, ask for Amy! The food never disappoints. Always get the Thai donuts for dessert. Yummy!
Muy rico
Great sushi!!
I've been coming to Bonsai for many years and usually order rolls, which are great. For the first time tonight, I ordered the Pad Thai with beef and it was tasty with the right texture. On previous visits, we've ordered some of the Thai entrées and they were just as good. Service was friendly and efficient.
Gotta love the fact that this place is around the corner. My go to ❤️
Don't hate it but not impressed. Very basic menu you can get anywhere. Visiting from Chicago maybe I'm expecting more based on reviews but to start service was very lax and left much room for more. Just myself and I ordered well for one person. Shrimps in a blanket which come fried and a sauce right what can go wrong here? Not much but wasn't sure what the bed of cabbage and carrots was for?? Ordered chicken pad Thai again safe. Not great, was more like a BBQ sauce that just really didn't sit well. And then tried one of their favorite rolls. Forgot the name but have NEVER had a warm roll and was not impressed.The salmon was cooked! Leaving the cream cheese warm and soft for a not so good texture. Over all I'm sure all was edible but I just wasn't feeling it. I had to ask for napkins, they didn't fill water up and was just kinda missing that waiter customer engagement. Ready to order?. Is there anything else? And that's it.i would be okay with this if the place was full but there were two people at the bar and myself and the people at the bar left right as I got my glass of water so for sure there was time for a hello how is it going, have you been here before, I can recommend some stuff.....nothing.
KEEPS EYES ON YOUR RECEIPT !!!
We went there a Wednesday night (not even weekends) 3 adults and 2 kids, and they charged us with the 18% ($30.00) of the Tip just because this depends on the numbers of persons, not the quality of the service, first of all this is not a High-end Restaurant for that and we for example had to wait a lot for the food. NEVER AGAIN THERE !!!
Pedimos comida para llevar y nos dijeron 20 min y ya llevamos una hora y media esperando demasiado mal servicio
This place used to be my go to now they are super cheap the third and the last time I will get a 2 go order and will have one little soy sauce and zero wasabi because they try to save money. Not to mention the quality of the sushi went really down I ordered four different rolls each one was soggy and mushy. I order from there once a week they could save their cheapness of not putting wasabi and telling you that it’s in the bag for other customers. I will not return. I do not have time to take out all the sushi from the to go orders while people are standing in line to see if I have the correct sauce when the girl behind the counter tells me there’s several each including Wasabi. .
Muy buena atención En todo .
Excellent atmosphere , excellent sushi and excellent customer service.
Beautiful atmosphere. Peaceful servers, reverse the words. The food is fantastic and the overall experience pleasurable. I forgot to take pictures except one. I look forward to my return.
Good sushi 🍣
This place was so bad we couldn’t even speak to the manager to get a refund because we just wanted to leave, they don’t even have a drink menu???? The server asked us if we wanted to take the food and we said no and just left. Will never go back again!!!!
Good Stuff. Amy is great.
Muy buena experiencia y atención.
Absolutely horrible service , ordered my food waited for over an hour and when I went to ask about my food they said they hadn’t made it ,, pupu, dog water , horse kaka , ur done , trash , 🤘🏿
Good food , good service
Excellent food and service!
Exelente
Hands down, the best sushi place I’ve ever been to. Each roll takes you on a unique path of excellence and taste matched by none so far, whether it was the lobster bomb or the fancy dragon, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. A food journey like no other, presentation as beautiful a feeling as an unexpected gift, and with each course as good or better than the last, honestly you get lost. Make no hesitation, do not think twice, you will not regret it.
Excellent sushi!!
Great food they service!!!
I went there today and was seated by the hostess. I sat there for about 20 minutes and no one came to the table. All the staff were just wondering around and would look over, but no one came by. The restaurant was empty accept for one other table that had two people. Terrible service and the restaurant was dirty as well.
Súper 😁👍
Besides service being a little slow, the sushi was yummy.
Place is an embarrassment.
It was a wonderful experience my family loved it the waiter who attended us was so nice and good. Thanks you Paul you we were having such a bad day and you made it better 😊
Delicious food and great service.
Loved this place. They have veggie options and it's a cool vibe! Our server was super cool.
Amazing food and a better experience. Thank you David 💪🙏. Great job. We will be back soon
Súper good the sushi rolls, cleanliness and our waiter Amy was amazing. She was very polite and attentive. Thank you, God bless you
Most amazing sushi ever!
Good food great service my wife recommended and I enjoyed we will return
Lugar para sushi y otra especialidades asiáticas, hablan inglés y español. La atención muy agradable.
My husband and I are regulars here. We usually get served by Amy or Lana. The food is delicious and we always get the best service. The riceless roll “sunset roll” is my favorite!
Ordered online for pickup. We brought home the order and noticed an entree was missing. I has to drive back, while my food at home got cold. The host in the front had a bit of an attitude when I seemed annoyed. For these prices I expect better service.
Really needs to prioritize the customers eating inside over fulfilling online orders, or have a separate crew and kitchen for the two. I think he wait staff is doing their best but they don’t see to be able to keep up with a crowded dining area and dozens of online orders simultaneously. They brought out stuff for the wrong table, forgot items that we ordered, etc and it was all honest mistakes. I honestly think these poor people are wearing too many hats.
Good food and kind host
Excellent service! Good Food! Nice atmosphere!
