About Bonsai 2

While the platform category is listed as "Chinese Restaurant," the provided information is for Bonsai 2, a Japanese restaurant specializing in sushi, located at 1955 South Rd, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601, USA. They can be contacted at phone number (845) 298-1188 ext. 1122 or mobile phone +1 845-298-1188 ext. 1122.

Based on customer reviews, Bonsai 2 is highly praised for serving some of the best sushi, described as incredibly fresh and delicious. One reviewer specifically recommended it and highlighted the great value of their lunch specials, where they were able to enjoy 3 appetizers and 2 lunch specials for under $60.

Regarding service, the waitresses are noted to be attentive. One customer shared an experience where missing rolls in a large order were efficiently identified by the staff. It is advisable for customers with large orders (around 20 rolls in one instance) to double-check their orders.

It's important to note some specific policies mentioned in the reviews. For large parties requiring tables to be pushed together, it is strongly recommended to make reservations in advance. One customer who did not have a reservation for a party of 9 felt that their impromptu arrival was not well-received. Additionally, Bonsai 2 has a specific tipping policy where the tip is automatically added to the bill, calculated based on the subtotal of food and drinks plus sales tax, which differs from the standard American practice of tipping before tax.

A unique feature of Bonsai 2 is that the owner, waitstaff, and chefs communicate among themselves in Mandarin and Cantonese. This could be a significant advantage for customers who are proficient in these Chinese languages.

In summary, Bonsai 2 in Poughkeepsie is highly recommended for its fresh and delicious sushi, particularly the value offered by their lunch specials. Customers should be aware of the recommendation to make reservations for large parties, the automatic tipping policy that includes sales tax in the calculation, and the potential for communication in Mandarin and Cantonese with the staff.

It was a last minute dinner plan for the gathering with another family. Once we told the owner we had party of 9, she firmly told us we had to make reservations next time. They took 30 second to push the tables together. I guess we screwed up her time. SO IF YOU HAVE LARGE PARTY THAT REQUIRE THEM TO PUSH THE TABLES TOGETHER WITHOUT RESERVATIONS, BETTER GO ANOTHER TIME. The waitress were so attentive, there were 2 missing rolls and the 2 waitress came to our tables and count the orders. They were able to find out which orders were missing. SO PLEASE CHECK your orders if your ordered a lot. We have about 20 rolls Ordered. Read the past review that some customers have issues on the tips, we are lucky that we don’t have this issue at all. They already added to the bill, which is the subtotal of food and drink + sales tax, then tips. Which is different than American restaurant that tips not included in sales tax. Also, they speak mandarin and cantonese among themselves and the chefs. So there is a great plus to communicate with them if you know those Chinese languages.

Best sushi I've eaten, hands down! It was so fresh and so delicious. Highly recommend. The lunch specials are such a great deal. My husband and I got 3 appetizers and 2 lunch specials and spent less than $60!

Finally stepped into Bonsai II for lunch after writing my review of the original Bonsai location. Man was I surprised at this upscale elegant and softly lit setting. Much more seating than the original Bonsai and same outstanding food for the price. Generous portions. We always end up taking home left overs with the 3 roll lunch special. Around 11:45am, we were the first customers welcomed in that day. A calm quiet atmosphere, perfect first-date venue and its wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend!

If heaven were a sushi spot on earth it would be Bonsai 2. I have been coming here for years and I swear it just keeps getting better. From the delicious, fresh, incredible rolls, to the salads and app, Bonsai never disappoints. I’m seriously addicted to this place and would recommend it for takeout, date night, lunch, brunch or all of the above! If you love good sushi, you will fall head over heels for Bonsai.

We have been coming here since we moved to the area in 2010. We have never had a bad experience. The restaurant is well maintained and has a nice atmosphere. The service is good. Our whole family love the place. My wife and I usually order the Bento Box. Our kids usually order a special roll. The miso soup is very good. The dressing that comes one the salad for the Bento Box is awesome!
