Bonsai Korean Cuisine

We discovered there was a Korean restaurant we hadn’t visited yet and were delighted by what felt like grandma’s cooking. We met the owner (Korean) and loved the simple decor (and quiet). The kimchi was refreshing, water was filtered/clean, and service was attentive! We had the mung bean pancake with shrimp and a regular bibimbop. The veggies were marinated perfectly. Not too spicy or too sugary! YUM.

Such friendly hosts! I was trying Korean food for the first time. We order two apps and entrees and everything was absolutely amazing. Our host showed us the traditional way to eat per Korean custom. Such an awesome experience and friendly hosts!!! Highly recommend giving the a try!

Great custom service!! Not spicy bulgogi, I’d say more sweet. The steamed dumplings were really good.

I recently went here to have a Korean meal. The drive from Shakopee, MN to Chaska, MN is not too bad! Usually I have to drive 25+ minutes.

The side dishes were disappointing. Portion size, lack of side dishes. Wish there were more options.

Appetizer: We got the cream puff. The sauce was spicy Mayo. I personally think cream puffs are great with sweet and sour sauce. It was interesting and I say interesting because I would never consider spicy Mayo with cream puffs. My boyfriend enjoyed it, but I don’t think I would order it again with that sauce.

Meals:
Soondubu: I got a spicy level 4 and overall I thought it was good! I wish it was spicer. I thought they would be added more seasonings to make it spicier but they just added green peppers which it fine. I would definitely order this again 10/10

Yukgejang: spice level 3. My boyfriend said that he enjoyed it. He was choosing between Yukgejang vs Korean Spicy Noodles and he is glad he choose this one. He would order this again.

Service: it can be somewhat slow during busy time. I think we arrived just before the dinner rush.

Their menu is somewhat small. They did run out of Kimbap and Galbi for the day, but that just means on how popular the place is! I have no complaints.

Overall I think we both had a good experience and would definitely recommend our friends and family this location.

Really enjoyed my first visit here. Ordered Korean BBQ - Fantastic !! - and Bibimbap - pretty good! Service was amazing, very nice, and helpful. I have not tried the sushi yet but It It looks great. The menu offers Omakase, sushi dinners, and chirashi bowls
