• Asian • Puerto Vallarta

Booked 12 times today

We’re a casual and cozy restaurant serving up Asian small plates—from fun improvisations on that theme to faithful renditions of classic dishes that we love. We love the name “bonito” because it’s both the Spanish word for “beautiful” and the name of one of the most important fish in Japanese cuisine. Thus, it’s the perfect name for a restaurant that seeks to explore the shared traits in the cuisines of Vallarta and Vietnam, delving into our mutual love for funk, citrusy brightness, and carefully calibrated spice. This location is in Zona Romántica right next to the beautiful 200-year-old Banyan Tree. Comfortable air-conditioned dining room and a gorgeous outdoor garden provide the perfect setting for all occasions. Our most popular items are ramen, pho, pork belly bao, soft-shell crab bao, coconut shrimp rolls, summer rolls, green papaya salad, potstickers, lobster dumplings, pork belly dumplings, teriyaki salmon, Korean BBQ beef, and green curry.

Definitely come for the chef’s tasting menu, 7 or 10 courses. Each course was more fabulous than the last! We did not order mixed drinks but the ones that come with the tasting menu looked very intriguing and were beautifully presented. This is a place for special occasions.

We absolutely love the atmosphere in the downstairs while waiting and in the garden!! it was our second visit and we were in awe of the presentation and artistic food experience. Everything we ordered was spectacular, with the exception of the quinoa strawberry salad which unfortunately we ordered two of and had no flavor. Great presentation, but it was lacking a lot in taste. Don't forget to order the amazing flower pot dessert!! and the first cocktail on the menu on the left with Tito's and coconut foam was one of the best we've ever had!! Thank you

Very pretty on the beach - but drinks are very expensive and food is basic - our waiter was wonderful and did accommodate our large table of 8 people and split checks / they did however make sure we tipped at least 20% as the tips are shared with everyone.
