Bonsai Asian Bistro & Bar
For best value, this is a great place to go with a group to split a few tapas and mains. Overall the food & presentation was good, but Bonsai is especially great for its dining aesthetics - I really like the deep green, black, gold and white theme they have going on. Seating is also super comfy with velvet-like chairs and benches. The patio is nicely done, but it is on a busy road, so I prefer inside. Staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive enough for everyone to find something they'd like to try. I shared the baked miso eggplant and Kamikaze platter - which came with soft shell crab, bone marrow, lotus chips, shishito peppers, edamame, California Maki (sushi) and spicy Salmon Maki. Everything was good, but the peppers had zero heat. I also wasn't blown away by the sushi, they were more or less standard for me, which isn't a bad thing. If I ever return, would I get the kamikaze platter again? Personally no, while it was a great way to sample many of their popular tapas, I'd rather try other menu options next time. As for drinks, sake is served chilled in a cold bath - the Hakushika Kaden Chokara was quite good. They also have a cute tropical leaf backdrop by the bar, which is great for photos; and a DJ comes in on Saturday nights after 9pm (not sure about the rest of the week).

Took some colleagues here for dinner following meetings. The food was excellent! The only thing that honestly disappointed me was that it wasn't busier! We ordered the Kamikaze platter which is great for sharing if you have a few people. The quality and freshness of the food is incredible and the flavors are so well thought out. The sushi rolls were top notch, the kimchi fried rice was a highlight as well, very spicy! Will for sure be coming back again. Great cocktail menu as well.

The service was fantastic for sure. The drinks menu was good as well.All I'm going to say is that you can get Japanese, Korean, and Chinese food that is far better and 70% cheaper than what is served here.Not worth the money.

Tried out Bonsai on a night out in Port Credit and really enjoyed our time ! We shared the soft shell crab and ordered the kimchi fried rice and sous vide duck. The portions are huge and very shareable, all the dishes were tasty but our favourite was the black sesame creme brûlée ! The restaurant was very picturesque and staff were kind and attentive !

Absolutely lovely place to dine. The food was AMAZING and the service was quick and polite. It's the first place I have ever dined at that asked the table if we had any food allergies or dietary resteictions. I thought that was a great touch to the service.It is also pricy for the amount of food. It is tapas style. I would only go back for special occassions.The only thing that was disappointing was the online menu doesn't match the in-house menu and they no longer served the item I wanted and the online menu still hasn't been updated almost a month later.

I’d give more stars if I could! We wanted Asian food and found Bonsai in the heart of port credit. The place is an upscale Asian restaurant with a nice mix of tropical and classic black, the seating comfortable. The food was amazing, we both had Kimchi Fries Rice with shrimp and steak in a Gachujong sauce.The spice is typical, but my friend thought she’d be fine. After a bit of situation, she cooled down with the matcha Tiramisu dessert. The chief and employees were so kind and understanding that they already knew what to do without us having to ask; my friend received a new dish with no Gachujong sauce.The entrées are around $20-$50 per person and I can’t recommend their vast sake selection enough!Amazing job!

I'm going to agree with some of the reviews that you're overpaying for the Asian food you're getting (ie. For less, you can get better food in authentic Asian restaurants). However, you're paying for ambiance. Nice setting and decor. I feel the bar missed an opportunity for cool lighting and mirrors.The server was extremely nice. We even had an incident where we asked for a sushi order to not have spice (she confirmed it was possible), but it came with a little spice. She happily took it back and brought us another order without any issue.The one dish we found to be really tasty was the curry duck slider.Overall, glad to see Port Credit continue to bring new restaurant experiences.

My first experience at Bonsai it was quite lovely. Try the plum sake it was fantastic and with just a hint of sweetness. We tried several appetizers. Highly recommend the crab and the tartare. The service was attentive and timely. she was also quite knowledgable on the whole menu ( food and drink ) and was able to provide several recommendations for us first timers at the place. Definitely a great new location in Port credit.

I've walked past Bonsai a couple of times and noticed the nice patio ambience and of course the food aroma. I decided to finally give it a try and it was an amazing experience. Thanks to Alexie for being such a great host. She was very friendly and attentive. She suggested the Seafood Udon and Kimchi fried rice and both meals were great. The mocktail of the day left me wanting more and more... and I'm definitely going back..

Food is very tasty. I give 100/100. You can tell the owners give lots of thought to this restaurant. It is a nicely designed and branded restaurant, every dish is an excellent example of Asian fusion. E.g. the house tartar uses fried lotus root. The interior design and renovation is also nice, everything is green coloured. Chill vibe, pretty patio. The waitress are professional and sweet. Nice experience overall.
