We order delivery 3-5 times a month. We love the healthy, tasty options and have never had a dish we haven't liked. I especially like Kung Pao Chicken, Panang Red Curry Chicken, the vegetable Chinese dumplings and the Basil Thai Chicken and Rice. We have...also eaten there and it's a simple place with great service.More

We ordered delivery for 7 people and were all shocked at how small the portions were. Containers are a third SMALLER than those of all the other ASian restaurants in town...AND each meat dish (as well as veggie dish) was half rice, so there was...almost NO MEAT and almost NO veggies. Though the food was OK, we were paying a fortune for what was mostly rice. All the other Asian restaurants in town deliver rice in a separate container--basically, this restaurant has figured out a way to sell what is mostly rice for $12-$14! We ended up with a bad tasgte in our moths. A shame, as we used to eat at this restaurant routinely a few years ago, and now we will go elsewhere.More

We were disappointed in the quality and portions at Bonsai. We forgo the sushi which maybe is what is the drawing card. We had two dishes with chicken which contained skinny slices and not very much. The vegetable potstickers had barely any vegetables in them...and were meager in size. Prices were too high for quantities that didn't even equal a real meal. The rating of average is for location and appearance.More

Heard from a neighbor that we needed to give this place a try as our favorite Chinese place had closed. We won't be listening to this neighbor anymore. Food was bland at best. Lettuce wraps and Mongolian beef lacked any flavor, at least the Spicy...shrimp packed a punch. There must be a better alternative in Evanston. At least it was fast and cheap.More

Bonsai Cafe is a great takeout location or fine in location in NE Evanston. Great food and exceptional service. The delivery time is always 20-30 mins max, and the quality is always great. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is moderately quiet and it is BYOB. Good for...families.More

Came down for the weekend from Wisconsin to visit good friends who live in Evanston. Stopped at Bonsai Cafe for dinner. Had very tasty Orange Chicken for dinner. Potstickers were okay but Crab Rangoon very good. Agree with previous review that booth was shaky near...front of restaurant and cold due to proximity with front door.More

I live about a block from Bonsai Cafe, so I eat here almost once a week. The atmosphere is very nice (it's a neighborhood place), the service is always friendly, and the food is very authentic and flavorful. The price is around $10 a dish....My go to dish is the chicken Pad Thai, which they do very well. They also make great appetizers, such as tofu satay and pot stickers. My father loves the curry here-- according to him, it is the best and most authentic he's ever tried. Some other dishes I've tried aren't quite as good (like the orange chicken), but on the whole, this is one of the best Thai places I've been to.More

Visited here on a whim while driving down the street, my Wilmette hostess for the weekend had heard good things about it. Our meal exceeded all expectations - great food (mix of asian kitchens), great value, great service. We shared spring rolls, lettuce wraps and...a curry dish. Everything was prepared fresh to order and was delicious. Only complaint is the booths are not very sturdy and they move around a lot when people shift or get up/down. Would recommend a table if available. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.More

I love the kung pao chicken - it has spinach in it also, which is a nice healthy addition. We also frequently get pad thai, and other things circulate in and out of our orders. And, because it is BYOB, it keeps the cost down....We do take-out from here frequently, and eat in occasionally. A pleasant atmosphere, and good service.More

I live a block away from this place and have been here well over twenty times. This restaurant has a great, cozy atmosphere -- well-lit with a nice TV and comfortable seats. The Pad Thai is very good and according to a family member the...red curry is very good too. Prices are a bit uncomfortably high -- $10 for a Pad Thai, which rises to almost $12 including tips. That's a bit high, and the food doesn't quite justify a price that high (although it depends on how hungry you are). However, overall, it's a good, family-owned place that's nice to have around to get good quality Thai food. I hope it stays open and has success.More

We had our dinner here and I had the "Pad Sew Ewie Chicken", it's fried noodles (broad noodles) with chicken and broccoli. Not too bad. Hubby had the "Bonsai Salmon Noodles", fried rice noodles and broccoli with a good piece grilled salmon. Not too bad...either.More

I was in the mood for Sushi and visited this nice, quiet restaurant. I was greeted politely and served promptly with Miso Soup, White Dragon Maki, and Spicy Yellowtail Maki. Bonsai Cafe offers super Sushi at the perfect price! Cheers!
