Bonsai Hibachi and Sushi — Restaurant in Sugar Land

Overall a happy experience. Didn’t know its halal and the food price tag is a bit high. But the portion is good and the steak is fresh. Even the rice is a good medium grain rice, which in my humble opinion is better than long grain rice.

Now to the lacking side. Kids meal had to come from Kitchen. Thats a bummer. All kids want to watch their food cooked at hibachi, but they honestly cannot finish their food. If kids meal can be a part of hibachi, even if conditional on other hibachi purchases for example, would make the offering so much more sincere and attractive to families.

The soup is really, hm, just clear water with msg maybe. Salads got quite a bit of dressing on top and is fresh, but they didn’t care to drain the water thoroughly. So it is drenched in diluted dressing.

Our young chef still can improve his cooking skills. With the at being said the fresh food quality was able to cover that. The fried rice is on the bland side. Not about saltiness, but that good smell coming from high heat frying is lacking a bit. Medium grain rice can absorb more sauce and still maintain that slight bouncy chew, so it superior, but it also needs a bit more time to bring the temperature back high again after putting soy sauce, to get the aroma out. Green onion should help too. But hey, I am an Aisan who is really good at cooking fried rice myself, so I am on the picky side.

Overall it was great experience. The waitress is nice and attentive. The house is also generous to give a free appetizer if we follow facebook. Just thought my two cents can help them improve, because the soup, salad and fried rice are not expensive to improve, but this trio is the work horse to enhance the whole package and...

Awful experience. Where to start..

As soon as we sat down my husband asked me if my plate was dirty or scratched up. It was greasy.

Took 30 or so minutes for the cook to come out after we ordered.

No water refills

I had to ask for ginger and Yumm sauce at the hibachi table and when I got the sauce she hardly put any in it.

We waited 10 minutes after eating before we had to flag down the waitress and once she seen us she said, “okay” after reaching our table “what do you need?” After telling her we needed the check and Togo box she proceeded to the table behind us and made her way back to our table and asked the other party at our table if they needed anything.

After waiting another 10 minutes we were fed up and no longer wanted our food to go and went to the front where she had our check and the 4 other checks divid out about to head back to our table. The other party also got up after we did.

Will not go back and suggest you do not spend...

I used to like this restaurant. The food was great, the place is nice but when I went for the third time, we had quite an experience. This last time I went with a group of family. We ordered our food, and when they brought it, my daughter found a hair on her plate (totally disgusting and unacceptable). We let the manager know about it, he took her plate, went to the kitchen and came back. He had the audacity of holding the hair with his hands and say that no one in the kitchen had that hair color. Whaaaat??? He was trying to blame it on my daughter? (Btw, she has long hair and the hair was short). That was unbelievable!!. At that point everybody had lost their appetite, we pay the bill - at least they didn't charge for my daughter's food - and we left.

Who I want to recognize for his good job is Jose - the server we got the 3 times we went there. He is awesome, happy, attentive, polite, always with a smile and ready to get anything you want....
