The Best Unagi Ever! Fresh and Large Sushi Portions
DESCRIPTION: Bonsai is a small restaurant with an intimate and casual atmosphere. You'll find that most of their customers are regulars. They will be chatting with the sushi chefs and Mike, the owner of the restaurant. There's a reason that it attracts so many loyal customers. The sushi is fresh and served in large portions that will puts to shame all other restaurants in the SF Bay Area. The unagi (eel) and saba (mackerel) are my favorites because they are the best! This is one of only a few sushi places that serve Bonito sashimi and it's the best here. I'm a sushi fanatic and although I've been to almost all of the high profile sushi restaurants in the SF Bay Area, Bonsai remains my favorite. I've eaten at Sushi Ran in Sausalito, Fuki Sushi in Palo Alto, Hagashi West in Palo Alto, Toshi's Sushiya in Menlo Park, Miyake's, and they all pale in comparison to Bonsai (where I go to eat the food not the ambiance).

I've become a Sushi Snob ...
DESCRIPTION: ... after eating at Bonsai! After you eat here, you'll know what REAL SUSHI should taste like! As of August 2003, Bonsai is moving locations to El Camino Real (sorry I don't have the actual address right now) but with the updated look, I can't wait to see what the ambiance will become. I love the owner and the sushi staff and have even taken an awsome hands on sushi class there -- well worth it! BEST Poki (spicy hawaiian tuna) and Unagi (eel) Heaven YUM! They're very addictive!
