    Always a fun time Food was good. Scallops were bland yet all the rest was fine. Took an hour from seating till the chef came to start the cooking. Glad to have the soup and salad prior. Wear a long sleeve shirt. With the fans.. its a bit chilly in there.

    We waited an hour for the Hibachi chef. The restaurant must have been short staffed. Our server was rude and gave very little follow up. I expected that we would receive some sort of update or explanation about the wait. When the Hibachi chef finally came to our table, he was kind. He told us he was actually the kitchen manager and was going to fill in at the grill. When he started the grill, the flame caught the sugar packets at our table on fire. The food was not prepared in a way that we are accustomed to...too much butter, no eggs in fried rice, some proteins were overcooked and rubbery. Two people in our party became sick to their stomachs later that evening. One person in our party ordered a meal that wasn't from the Hibachi grill. The server never gave us any information or updates about when the food would be ready so I went to the bar to check on it after most of the food from the grill had been prepared and served. The bar tender kindly agreed to check and then our server came out and curtly said, "It will be out soon. They are working on it now." The worst part was that when our bill came, a tip had already been applied. I typically tip 20% but had no intention of doing so this time. However, we didn't get an option to apply a tip based on the service we received. I understand this b/c we were a party of 7 but, in this circumstance, it wasn't appropriate to apply a tip ahead of time. No one (other than the kitchen manager/Hibachi Chef) ever apologized or offered any explanation for the terrible, slow service. A small apology goes a long way with me. I have actually never written a critical review but felt compelled to do so this time. We've enjoyed Bonzai on many occasions. This was my husband's choice for his birthday and he was the once who ended up apologizing to everyone for making the decision to go to Bonzai. I'm sure we will go back again eventually as we usually enjoy the experience- but not any time soon.

    Tonight was Veterans Day and we made reservations for 6pm. We arrived at 550 to along line. We were seated at the hibachi grill at 605pm outlet waitress was running around and finally came to table. She took our drink orders and appetizer order and then came back an hour later to take our meal order. This was unacceptable. At 815 pm our meal had not even been cooked at the grill but new customers we being served in a timely manner we finally got our check and left. This was a disappointing night. I planned this dinner tonight for my husband who is a Veteran and he didn’t even get his meal. The appetizer we had did taste good but after waiting over 2 hours we left.

    The wagyu beef on the hot stone as an appetizer was excellent.

    Person greeting seemed annoyed that I had just made a reservation moments before - didn't really understand her reaction. Seating is NOT efficient for the hibachi. 4 of us were seated at one, 2 people at another and 4 people at yet another. Even if people have to wait a bit for the cooking to start, seems like more effort would be made to consolidate seating and really deliver on the hype and experience of the hibachi . The experience was lackluster bc the cook wasn't inspired to perform for only the 4 of us. The food was good, not great, lots of oil used and very little seasoning. From a safety standpoint, the tile floors need to be cleaned using a degreaser. They are slick and I personally almost slipped and observed other patrons almost fall.

    I’m told the sushi is good, although I didn’t try it. The food was plentious for the price. Service was fine, especially considering it was Mother’s Day. The hostess that greeted us was very pleasant. It’s a nice change in Kerrville restaurants.
