Yay, Chef Nobu breaks out on his own and establishes a sushi bar Uptown! Although the address says it's on 6th Street, Bonsai Fusion is located inside the 7th Street Public Market. Park in the garage, bring your ticket to be validated.
It's the smallest sushi bar in Charlotte, with a whopping 4 bar stools, but if you are one of the lucky ones to snag a seat, you are set for a tasty treat! Don't let the 4 stools fool you, there is plenty of seating indoors or out on the patio. They make up for their small bar with huge smiles, generous rolls, and gigantic flavors that will make your tastebuds do somersaults!
There was a fantastic special running when I was there: 2 rolls for $8 or 3 for $11. Hello, sushi for a steal of a deal! The sushi is creatively named, inspired by the 80's. Ask for the Blue Velvet! Nobu and his business partner do a fantastic job and put out some of the most delicious sushi I have ever eaten. They are very creative...have you ever had a sushi sandwich? I hadn't until my stop here and it was delightful.
If you love sushi, you will want to come here. Don't let the casual and small space deceive you, it worth it's taste in gold!
