I visited Bonsai several times before I moved to Edinburgh, when visiting friends. It's always been one of my favourite places to eat out for lunch in Edinburgh. Located by the pleasance, near Arthur's Seat and somewhere between Southbridge and the Royal Mile, it's a great restaurant to visit \"on the way\" to way to elsewhere.\n\nBonsai is a hip and happening Japanese restaurant, possibly aimed at students, but welcoming to all.\n\nBonsai has a great menu and it will take you several trips to experience all the best. To make things more difficult there is usually a board with appealing daily specials! I particularly enjoy their range of Teriyaki and simple but tasty Miso soups. It also caters well for vegetarians, not always something I find in Japanese restaurants.\n\nThe staffs are nice, chatty and seem eager to please. The decor inside is expectedly Japanese. It feels clean, fresh but far from sterile, it's cool and lively.\n\nA great Japanese restaurant, ideal for lunch or light meals. Highly recommended!
