"I thought the food was somewhat tasty and the place had decent vegan options and nice atmosphere, but I ordered the tofu tepanyaki and was most definitely served the tofu agadashi. I asked if it was indeed the tepanyaki (as a polite way of saying it wasn’t) and the guy just said “yes.” The agadashi was described as “fried tofu in a bed of soy broth.” Now I’m no rocket scientist, but it seems like a pretty accurate description of what was happening on my plate. Stock image for reference. I don’t mind receiving a wrong order, it happens but the gaslighting… not a fan. It was also freezing in there. Like buy hot tea just to try and warm your hands freezing."

Fabulous spot, a little haven away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Great sushi really enjoyed the crispy salmon skin and advocado rolls and the aubergine katsu curry. Good value and great service

Amazing food, well presented and tasteful. Pretty small, but not crampy, could take a wheel chair that I guess even though it could be a squeeze if you enter the door. Well worth a try, the dark dragon roll is my tip!

I recently returned to Bonsai for the first time since the pandemic and was not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and a great value. I always love coming here and will definitely be back. The cuisine is authentic and delicious, and the staff is very nice.

wonderful atmosphere as the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and everyone in our group loved it. I would definitely recommend the vegetable pancakes and wasabi prawns. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back to eat here.

This was my first time at Bonsai Bar and I must say I will definitely be returning. The staff member was very knowledgeable and explained all the dishes to me. It was also my first time trying sushi, and it was delicious and fresh. The menu was affordable and the food was fantastic.

Our first visit to a Japanese restaurant. Could not fault this place! The service was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. Took us through the options and explained the differences. The food was out of this world! We’re not local, but will make the effort to go again. Highly recommended.

Quite expensive for what you get. Rolls contained 90% rice with just a tiny bit of avocado/cucumber filling in the middle. Tempura batter was tasteless. Sticky rice tasted like plain white rice that I would normally cook at home (I 'm not a good cook). I spent 10 pounds here but the portions were so small that I immediately went to go get a full dinner elsewhere.
