★★★★★ 5.0 Lana Lee · Dec 2025

Our group came in on a Sunday night and had the best time. It was a very quiet evening, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and intimate, and the music was wonderful — truly vibey and perfectly matched the space. The food was delicious — we especially loved the tuna crudo and the burger sliders. Our server Daniel was absolutely the best part of the night. His recommendations were spot-on, and he was so personable and thoughtful. He made us feel genuinely taken care of — above and beyond customer service! We can’t wait to come back.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Eddie Garcia · Jan 2026

Excellent place, a cozy and relax vibe even though being near the busy areas of the city. menu and food was awesome, wings and sliders are great, however it will be good if they add more options. The service was great with a lot of attention and support from Dario. Definitely deserve another visit next we travel NY City.

★★★★★ 5.0 Seijun Hara · Feb 2026

Great tapas spot with really good food and an even better atmosphere. Everything we tried was delicious, but my favorite dish was definitely the chicken, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. OMG, so delicious!!!!! The service was excellent and truly made the experience stand out. Dario was incredibly patient and kind, especially when he took the time to take our pictures. Daniel was also fantastic providing recommendations on the favorites, which did not disappoint. Overall, GREAT food, GREAT service. I will be back again!!!!!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tim Hewitt · Oct 2025

Bonsaii is an overt attempt at capturing a specific demographic, seeking the instagram photo-op and little else. With a back wall stereotypically covered in fabricated ivy and pink neon sign that reads as some AI generated inspirational quote, Bonsaii is as non-discreet in its attempts as the IG counter prominently displayed on its bar shelf. For a wine bar the selections were modest and average, as too were the tapas. While extensive, they were mediocre at best. Instead of trying to attract crowds, they should focus on an identity. This place is lacking character and trying to make up for it with appearances.

Great food and service. The tapas lunch was a good deal for a quick bite. We also enjoyed the red sangria. The space is small but very clean. A nice spot away from the crowds.
