First time here.. . We have not had sushi in the area since Tower Sushi left. Great service but the food was very salty. My son was unable to eat the beef in the bento box. His miso soup was also very salty. My starfish sushi was great, but I did not get wasabi and it too was salty. My older son’s dish, the Tsunami was quite to his living. The tea was good and so was the same. We will try again.

Enjoyed a great table on the patio for the Pride Parade! Banzai’s food is great, but I really want to call attention to their friendly, efficient staff and their celebration of our neighborhood and it’s diversity. We are so very lucky to have them in the Tower. Thanks for a really fun day!

Came into Banzai a little afraid of not liking the food but AH it was quiet delicious quiet the meal if I do say so, started off with an order of yum rolls w/ some Kamikaze fries. Those fries were probably the best ones I’ve ever had around town! A variety of items on the menu to choose from and all very delicious it seemed like! The chefs chili oil sauce was not very spicy but more on the sweet side which I enjoyed. Had to even ask for some to go . Decided to top it all off with some cheesecake & let me say it was very soft and the yummiest dessert my taste buds have laid on. Overall service was a delight very friendly and had chats with us when checking up! Definitely will be the spot when looking for a bite in tower district. Can’t wait to come again.

I got the poke nachos and the cherry blossom roll. Both were incredible. The nachos and the poke melt in your mouth and was a beautiful presentation from start to finish. The sauce on the cherry blossom rolls was delicious as well and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The sake they have is great too. Easily my new favorite sushi place in town!

Really cute smaller restaurant in tower that also has additional seating outside. The rolls were really good, my favorite was the Yokozuna roll, my sons favorite was the baked salmon roll, the jalapeño appetizer was really good as well. Definitely going back! They had karaoke on a Thursday night, not sure if that is a regular thing but looked really fun.

My party and I had an amazing experience. Our waiter was very thorough and patient. She also joked around with us. We felt very welcomed. The food was delicious too! We had the Poke Nachos, Calamari, Eel Nigiri, Shrimp Roll, Red Dragon Roll, Orange Blossom Roll, and the Baked Salmom Roll. I liked that we can even customize our rolls. The bar drinks were very good too, I recommend the Bonzai Tea. The atmosphere was on point. We want to thank all the staff at Bonzai. We definitely will be going back.
