Bonsai Kitchen

I recently visited the highly renowned plant based restaurant @bonsaiplantkitchen recently after it being on my list for quite a while, and it was definitely worth the wait!

The atmosphere from first walking in is really vibrant, great chilled house music, really fun array of seating arrangements from low and high seating, and more intimate seating called izakaya seating which we sat in which, although slightly tight for space, was a really nice style to gather in an intimate group of 2 or 3 and share your dishes (sitting along each other rather than opposite each other). They also have a garden at the rear of the restaurant that you can sit in too so lots of options

We were recommended the Spicy Margarita and it lived up to the reviews. Super spicy but really tasty, we went back for another round they were that good! In regards to food, you have a tick sheet menu they you use to order which is super efficient and quick and when you order pretty much the whole menu like we did, it makes it easy for the staff to put your order though. We were also able to them keep up with what dishes had come out and what was still to come

Everything we ate was amazing. The stand out was the ‘chicken’ teriyaki skewers though, tasted so similar to chicken and the texture was spot on, really enjoyed them. We also really liked the tempura cauliflower with hot space and the ‘pork’ spring rolls! A much have if you visit! The craftsmanship was beautiful and everything was made to a really high standard so we really enjoyed the meal. We finished with the Crème Caramel which we enjoyed but didn’t have the same characteristics as a usual one due to the alternative plant based ingredients but a nice way to end our meal!

Such a fun evening, I particularly really liked the ambiance of the restaurant, very chilled relaxed vibe but still felt like you were having a fun night out, a great balance. The prices are quite high and some dishes were more expensive than I would have anticipated but we would definitely come back here as the quality of the food and drink were worth it
