For as much time as I spend in 7th Street Market, Bonsai was next on my list to check off. I'm a sucker for sushi and really love a good fresh roll made with local products.
These guys are a small setup, right next to Tasty Yo, in the market with an easily readable menu. Not too short and not too long. They have all of your favorites -- California, Spicy Tuna, veggie and so on. I really dig that they have lunch specials. Sometimes I'm in the mood for old reliable, but there are times I'm looking to be blown away by something I've never had before. That's what happened this week...
Two words: Sushi Burrito. Holy mess this thing is amazing. Spicy tuna, avocado, all of the regular sushi veg, rice, and a brilliant chipotle-honey sauce rolled up in a tortilla. Absolutely fantastic flavors. When I was in San Fran, there is a place that specializes in sushi burritos, and I wish I had a chance to try it. This totally satiated my hunger! Would love to see this on rice paper or a large nori wrapper instead of a flour tortilla. Maybe soon!
Prices are fair. Around $9 for lunch. Bonsai has totally won my trust and patronage. Can't wait to go back!
