Bonsai Sushi

Cheap and cheerful sushi in the outer suburbs — Bonsai Sushi has a broad range of fresh made sushi, and wonderful treats like chicken on a stick with a lusciously sticky sauce, crispy salt and pepper squid, and delicious spring rolls.
Staff are friendly, happy to help or to wait while you dither hopelessly over the multitude of choices (this is my usual gambit at sushi bars — consider every possible combination of rolls then finally pick a couple at random ‘cos I just can’t decide) — and will gladly slice a full roll into four or five perfect little bite size pieces (never underestimate this — it can make it SO much easier if you need to eat on the run between meeting clients, etc)
Sushi rolls are pretty much constantly hand made on the premises to keep the display stocked and ready for sale, without allowing any time to get stale or wasted — they’re very dedicated to keeping just enough stock ready on hand, so sometimes you can need to wait a minute or two for fresh rolls to come out.
Great sushi, cheap, quick and easy to pick up — really, isn’t that exactly what a sushi bar should offer?

I don’t remember how I ended up in Newton. I wasn’t even aware there was a suburb in Adelaide called Newton and always associated it with the ‘alternative’ area in Sydney. Nonetheless I was here trying to make my way home and found Bonsai in the shopping center there.
The outlet looked very modern in style and I was curious to try their range of rolls. I always end up getting Tuna, it’s a fall back if I’m too indecisive. This was one of the best tuna sushi I’ve had to date.
It’s worth a stop in for a quick bite for whatever reason you have being in Newton.
