BONSAI SUSHI – Japanese
A small Dr. Phillips room where the sushi bar does the talking and the seats go quickly: weekday lunch runs a tight two hours and dinner finishes early, so booking ahead is the operator's own advice. The roll list is long and locally minded, with an Orlando roll of tempura lobster and eel under masago and spicy mayo, a Dr Phillips roll of shrimp tempura and mango finished with mango puree, and a Scorpion roll built on soft shell crab. Start with tuna tataki, naruto maki or spicy tuna crunch nigiri. Omakase available. Diners praise the freshness and the plating.
