Bon Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Bee Cave

Second time here. The first time, the roll was not good but I did my best to eat it halfway and then I ordered something different because it was not good. I got the fried calamari. I still told the waitress I would be back because she was nice and attentive and I love sushi. I enjoy good service. This time, I ordered the Lakeway Roll and asked the guy about it. He said it wasn’t his favorite, and now I understand why. I like scallions but the way they cooked them and topped the roll looked like worms, and the texture….it was disgusting. When he presented that to me it looked so bad. And before I ate it I said that looked so weird. I tried one bite and I did my best not to throw up. I was under the impression it would be cooked in my roll. I started looking at the menu for a different roll, like the last time. Not exactly good if you visit a place for a second time and still not like it. And the same nice waitress from my first trip came by. I was telling her that again I didn’t like the roll but I was gonna look at something different. Well the owner or manager or whoever, he overheard and came by and said that’s how they cook it and that I was more than welcome to order something else but he would still charge me for it because cost of food. Ummm what?! First off that’s not what what I was saying. Which I understand because I used to run restaurants and familiar and of course, inflation. But for you to walk by and straight up assume that I want a free meal and tell me that you’re charging me for it when that’s not even what I was saying. I totally felt stereotyped. I’ve never been treated so rudely. Who are you to assume I can’t pay for my meal? I live in the area, I can afford my meals. I was taking a relaxing dinner and that ruined it for me. Won’t return. Advice: don’t treat your customers like this when they were literally going to pay for...

Located conveniently off the 620 and plenty of parking. Make sure you are parked out front instead of the back where we parked. Oddly, the back has a big lighted sign and looks like the entrance until you walk up to the door and see the sign that says "go around".

We were seated right away on a Saturday evening with no reservations. It's a large restaurant and even has a room for private events. Our server came over right away and took our drink/appetizer orders. We started off with the Edamame and Seaweed Salad. The Edamame comes either with salt or truffles; we had the salt but wish they would offer a spicy version like most places do these days. The seaweed salad was a generous portion but was drowning in the dressing. Great dressing but just too much.

For the sushi, we tried a few pieces of Tuna and Yellow Tail. The portions were very good and the fish was quite fresh. For rolls, we had a Philly Roll and a Sunset Roll. The Philly Roll was just okay; very little Salmon and the salmon wasn't great. It wasn't bad fish, but it was just "okay". For the Sunset Roll - salmon, shrimp tempura, crab and masago. This was a delicious roll!

The service was good but a few things that were a bit unusual. We had to ask for soy sauce and when the server brought it out, he poured it but wouldn't leave the the container with us. The place certainly wasn't so busy they couldn't afford to let us have our own and pour as we felt rather than having to ask our server each time we wanted some soy sauce. Very odd.

Overall, the service is good and the sushi is pretty fresh. I'm sure we will...

The food gets two stars. we ordered a baked crab hand roll, a lobster roll and a spicy scallop roll. The baked crab was okay but it had a lot of a cream cheese-like filling. The lobster roll was very disappointing. A piece of lobster, cucumber and a bit of avocado wrapped in rice. That was it-no sauce, no flavor and the lobster was partially frozen. When we mentioned it to the server, he said that previous customers also said the lobster had no flavor. It would have been nice if he told me that when I ordered and then given a suggestion of another roll that was a customer favorite.

The restaurant gets 0 stars. We went for an early Sunday evening dinner at 6 pm. The restaurant was 50% full, as specified by the COVID regulations. By the time we left at 7:30, every table was full! We asked the waiter why they weren't following the COVID rules and he said he didn't know. I try to support the local non-chain restaurants but since the Bon owners weren't concerned about my well-being, I won't be concerned about theirs. We won't...
