Bonzai Japanese Steak Sushi - Kerrville

We chose the hibachi grill. Food was Chef's Kiss! Our chef was very entertaining. We're not from the area, but would definitely come back if we visit again.

Server Mario was pleasant and did a good job. Bento box for diner #1 delivered cool, well below normal serving temp. California roll had mayo in with imitation crab meat, ugh. Roll not sliced and nothing on top of plain old white rice. Teriyaki salmon was very overdone and sauce was not at all typical for teriyaki, thin and had little taste. Onion ring was raw inside, how hard is that? 2nd diner waited 20+ minutes after 1st diner 's meal was served for their sushi bento box. It is 100% UNacceptable to serve a meal cold AND it is totally UNacceptable to serve 2 diners ' entrees more than 5 minutes apart!!! Diner #2 's sushi bento box had good and bad. Fried California roll , same comment. Seaweed salad was very bland. Squid salad was good, seasoned correctly and tender. No sauces at all for sushi sashimi negiri. Manager was too busy to talk with us and only offered, via server, a free dessert or to remake diner #1 's bento box, which I have no assurance would be any.better than the first attempt. Note, house was less than half full at that point. I will never return for any reason and will recommend that others do NOT visit! !

Back in Kerrville for another appt. Decided to give this place a try for lunch. Close to Peterson. Nice inside with the sushi bar. Will need to come again to try a hibachi grilled dinner. Service was excellent. Food arrival timed very well. We started with pan fried dumplings. Delicious. The wife got a combo lunch that started with dumpling soup. Next we had 2 sushi rolls. Also had shrimp and vegetable tempura which was huge. We took part of it home. Great place. Did not imbibe but the drink menu is worth a look!

Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and priced fairly. I made a reservation and even though they weren't super busy they had my table all ready and set up already. Restaurant was clean and well taken care of.

Samantha was amazing. Helped us pick out our food! Even got me A5 wagyu on a Wednesday! The restaurant was inviting. The food was absolutely amazing.! We will return to eat here again even though it's 2 1/2 hours away !
