This is a go-to spot on days when I'm not sure what I want. The owner is so kind and thoughtful! The Korean dishes are authentic and delish.I roll in with my daughter and we're always happy with our meal. Bonus - Orange Leaf (froyo) is across the street so my kiddo gets a treat. Definitely give this place a try - they are open most days.

I realize that a lot could be happening behind the scenes at Bonsai that I am not aware about. From a customer's perspective though, the food quality has noticeably declined. It's not that the food is bad per se...but it's not good, especially for the price. For instance, we were served only two banchan - kimchi and gamja bokkeum that tasted deep fried rather than braised. At other Korean restaurants in Columbus, I've gotten up to nine banchan.The seafood pancake, which cost a startling $18-$19, was decently crispy but not particularly generous with the fillings. The jajangmyeon was straight up not good. I've tried making jajangmyeon at home a few times and it's never turned out well; somehow the sauce is just missing an extra...something...that only seems to come through in restaurant jajangmyeon. Bonsai's sauce tasted like the sauce I made at home: simultaneously too bitter and too bland. Most irredeemable for me though, was the soggy texture of the noodles. The only dish that I enjoyed was the kimchi dolsot...but it's also the easiest to make so...In the past, I've been okay with Bonsai's steeper prices and white clientele. The food was worth it to me! Now, however, I'm not sure I will be back unless there is significant improvement.

Came here on a Friday night abc was seated immediately. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about the menu. I didn't have the sushi but a friend did and it looked delicious. I had chicken Yaki with soba noodles and it was amazing. A true hidden gem and I will definitely come back.

Bonsai Japanese and Korean restaurant has been in the Kingsdale shopping center, a few doors down from Market District, for about seven years now. I ate here once when it opened, but never think to go there even though it's just a mile from my house. It was a convenient lunch option, so I stopped in for some sushi and bibimbap, both which were really good. Bonsai is now officially on my radar. I was here (solo) at a later lunch hour, so the dining room was quiet, and the service was all mine. The ambience is warm and the service was great. They sent out a complementary plate of crab rangoon, which isn't my favorite, but a thoughtful gesture. Definitely recommend. * I have subsequently been here a few more times, and each time has been very good. I mostly have got sushi, but the bibimbap is consistently nicely done.* hello

What a wonderful culinary and guest experience! Our first time dining with them and they gave us a free roll. The rolls were delicious and unique. The Smokehouse and Sunday Morning roll were a big hit!

The service was great. The atmosphere was great. Spouse says the fish was good. I am still thinking about how weird the rice was. Glutinous, sticky, tough and flavorless. Not sushi rice. Very disappointing.

A beautiful restaurant! We did carrot - the Arlington roll ( pictured), Shrimp tempura with Udon noodle, & Chicken Tonkatsu. Everything was hot & very flavorful. Honestly it seemed a little pricey for the portions. However, we will definitely order again & definitely recommend. Tons of choices - Japanese, Korean, Sushi etc

Bonsai is located in the Kingsdale shopping center and the inside looks pretty much like any Chinese restaurant/ buffet you've ever been to. It's small but cute and the tables are pretty close together. I heard way too much of a conversation that wasn't meant for me the service is fine, they hand you a menu, you order and that's about the extent of that. It did take quite a while for them to refill water or ask if we needed refills on our drinks. The salmon was pretty good, full of Asian flavors and cooked to the right doneness. I didn't think I would like the potatoes as they are served cold, but those were pretty good as well. The sushi is okay, I guess for the price point it's decent. Out of the 4 rolls we ordered, the veggie one was my favorite. I just don't see myself making a trip back here for sushi, there are definitely better options in Columbus.
