Bonsai Sushi Lounge - ASOLO

You want a present? Take a walk in the atmosphere of Asolo and enter the magic of this place, almost another dimension, and then give yourself a dinner at Bonsai, where it welcomes you a new magical place with good food and courtesy atmosphere.

Great interior, relaxed friendly vibe and simply fantastic sushi. large choice of food and the wine menu is comprehensive. Staff are attentive without being intrusive. Not the cheapest in the area, but worth every penny. Recommended.

I’m shocked by how good the sushi was at this restaurant in a town as small as Asolo. The sushi was so fresh. The restaurant is also very pretty and as a hip vibe. The wine menu is fairly extensive. My only criticism is that they don’t offer sake by the bottle but this seems like the norm outside of big cities in Europe. The sake by the carafe was good not great. The prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of the food.

There are many surprises in life, but finding not just sushi this good but proper Japanese cuisine in this corner of Italy was a welcome surprise. Bear in mind the pride of the Italians, it is not so likely that you find ANY other cuisine except for I am told a fairly popular 'Tex Mex ' we all have to rebel against Mama 's cooking eventually even if only for a night . So my expectations were not high, but I was blown away not just by the quality of food, but decor and service too. I am told he is leaving soon, but our waiter Riccardo spoke english perfectly and was patient and friendly and by the end of the first visit we went twice in a week was laughing and enjoying a drink with us at the end. The food ...surprisingly I am not the greatest fan of Sushi except for Sashimi it should be about simple quality of ingredients and preparation, not how many things you can think . of to throw together but europeans don 't buy into that concept , I find modern sushi over complicated, but it was VERY good, why, the care and attention in preparation quality of ingredients. My co diners were also very impressed. What got me is that for the first time outside of London or Japan I was able to eat Unagi Domburi grilled eel on rice and it was not just available, it was FANTASTIC. We also tried the Teriyaki Chicken and I was also blown away ...top quality chicken, properly cooked before the sauce added to the perfect quality and quantity consider myself to be an expert in the finer points of this dish and am rarely this impressed and it is so often just thrown together to make those who don 't like sushi happy . Lets I forget forget the Miso soup ..local wild mushrooms I think plus a quails egg that poaches in your bowl as you eat if you don 't break it with your spoon you will find this hidden gem is also highly recommended. I was with friends, but if you have a date near Asolo you will be sure to impress him/her with a night here, the food, decor, lighting and ambience mean all you have to take care of is your captivating conversation ; I massive double thumbs up from me.

He left me a little disappointed. We didn't eat bad, but I have to say I had much higher expectations. Usually sushi has a frightening umami that surprises even without a myriad of ingredients here instead I never had this feeling. we took the cold soba to the pistachio pesto and red shrimp in which the shrimp was poor and could not eat it at every mouth. the red shrimp bar is very poor and as already said the uramaki do not have a certain character. I did not eat anything not of my liking, but the price did not apply the dishes eaten despite a great service and a really nice place. positive note, pulp of octopus meat (called takaoyaki in other places) served as entrée was excellent.
