I can't believe it's taken us so long to eat here! Four+ years living in the area and we tend to only seem to eat sushi in the city or on LI, yet this perfectly great place exists close to our (former as of next week) home. It's our final week here in Wappinger's Falls and naturally with our kitchen all wrapped up, we need to hit up our favorite places to eat, but on Monday all of those places seemed to be closed for Labor Day. I remembered the stellar reviews for Bonsai, all three of their locations and two of them were open. Yes, it's in a strip mall but it's lovingly decorated and has Japanese aesthetics in droves. The interior is spacious but inviting and there are booths against the wall for more privacy if you're not looking to dine out in the open. Service was prompt and attentive. I was really intrigued by all of the veggie sushi rolls and in addition to my typical AAC and avo/cucumber, I had a veggie roll with oshinko and yuba that is delicious. I'm a fan and regrets, I have a few, for not having tried it sooner. But I have a feeling we'll be back in the area from time to time, so it'll go on my list for sure.
Bonsai is a very good sushi option in the mid Hudson Valley. I have eaten here quite a bit, and have always felt that the food was well prepared. The ambience is a little over the top with multicolored lights in the ceiling and around the restaurant, but it is well lit and clean. The food always tastes fresh, the soup is hot, and everything is delicious. I recently had the chef special sushi lunch and it was very good. I did see that one of the sushi chefs had a cold or allergies or something. He was sniffling and wiping his nose a bit. The other one prepared our food. : Service can be hit or miss. When I went yesterday we were not greeted upon entry and we helped ourselves to the chef station seats. The wait staff was not particularly friendly nor unfriendly, just ambivalent. The food was good. I would recommend this restaurant.
The place is pretty spacious considering it's cramped in that plaza. Has upscale look without breaking the bank prices wise. So to the service I mean pretty attentive as far clearing plates and offering refills, plus there, but other that seemed to want to hang out more then serve. Just my two cents though. The Food, very impressive, I got a spicy tuna roll that actually had a kick spicy wise, plus the crunchy part on top rather then mixed in with tuna as filler. Pepper tuna roll did not disappoint, very seasoned well and roll itself was amazing not cheap on the fillings. As for midnight sun roll, crunchy shrimp tempura , sliced smoked salmon, a very well seasoned pepper tuna again and a really good sweet and spicy sauce. The roll did have eel but I could not tell so much since it disappeared within every other filling.
Not really authentic Japanese cuisine, but it is the best we've got in the area, so far. TIP: if you've got more than three or four people, it's worthwhile to get the party platter. Cost per person will probably be reduced. Also unless you're getting the party platter, I Recommend dining in rather than taking out.
I ate here twice and was highly disappointed both times. Very generic with food that 's fine, but if you 're a serious sushi fan, there 's better places.
