Wok Bonsai 517 in Heerlen

I went along here last week with a party of friends for a sushi night prompted by some groupon vouchers.

On arrival it just came across as any large Chinese restaurant does, that is when I remembered it was in fact a Japanese restaurant..

Once we were seated it took a while but we finally established what we where entitled to consume with our vouchers which turned out to be everything. I'm glad that was the case as the selection of sushi was somewhat minimal and if you were not very quick when a fresh selection was put out you got left high and dry. The reason for that is that all the food is in the form of a buffet including all the fresh ingredients for the wok.

Some people are not keen on a buffet, but this isn't an issue as far as I am concerned if and only if the establishment is busy thus meaning the food is turning over quickly and kept fresh. A find it a great way to sample things that you wouldn't normally order.

All the hot food was great and there was a fair selection to choose from, as I mentioned previously I was disappointed at the limited selection of sushi but could not complain about the qaulity of it at all! I should however mention I was less than impressed with the salad quality and the whole tray of frozen halved tomatoes stuffed with mozzarella cheese.

You can't go to this kind of restaurant and not try all on offer, so next I ventured to the chilled cabinet and selected my ingredients from the vast selection of fresh Veg, Meat and seafood and turned to the chef's who cooked it to perfection adding a sauce of my choice, just great!

Not beaten yet I investigated the desert counter which had a beautiful choice of cakes, fresh fruit, fruit salad and ice-cream oh and not to forget a great selection of toppings.

The evening went well with drinks ordered from the table and promptly delivered by competent staff, I'll give this what I will just label as an Asian restaurant a thumbs up!
