I was in Bondi today having the lunch special with a friend. It is an amazing lunch special, one that I highly recommend. The service is fantastic and I attribute it to Curt, the manager there. Curt was friendly, warm, professional, helpful and extremely welcoming. Bondi is lucky to have him and it is one of the main reasons I will be back. Thanks for a great experience.
This place is the best. Sitting at the bar gives such a good vibe as you see the chefs prepare your rolls. The spicy tuna crispy rice is out of this world! Great sake selection as well. The servers are always so nice and the food comes out fast. One of our favorite neighborhood spots!
Food and service at Bondi are excellent. Sushi is fresh, supple and delicious. We went for Happy Hour-- before 6pm. They have a great point system that for every $50 spent, $5 off. Only serve at the bar, so the ambiance is not for everyone. The stools are a bit high.
This is hands down one of the best sushi experiences I've had in New York. The service was impeccable and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended their favorites which are now mine! Getting to watch the chef handcraft the rolls and crispy rice was epic. Not only did I enjoy the food, it was also my birthday and they made sure I felt special with a delicious desert and sake! Will definitely be coming back soon!
I happen to be right by BONDI, on Wednesday, Oct 18, 2023, and needed to eat before going to a meeting nearby, so I thought okay, this is meant to be, because I had passed by BONDI a few times; I was curious about it, and it looked a tad mysterious with very nice low light inside. I checked out a few reviews on YELP, And so, I went in, and...I FELT LIKE I WON A PRIZE!!! BECAUSE...it was Happy Hour, and that meant $5 HANDROLLS!!! I'm not really a drinker, so the food was my focus. LOL I enjoyed the handrolls, see my photos please, and I even ordered a yummy dessert -the Crème Brûlée, which was delicious and delightful. I had sat at the sushi bar, which is square in shape, and there are several tables along a few of the sides. I was waiting to write my review because I wanted to return to BONDI, and have an item from the regular menu. But, alas, it is now early December and I do plan to return to BONDI, during Happy Hour, for more yummy handrolls, AND I also want to try the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, because I love that dish, and the person sitting near me at the sushi bar was enjoying that dish. As a matter of fact, it was her "usual". So, I must try that dish. I will update once I return to BONDI. But, I did not want to hold off on writing this review any longer and so, here it is...and there will be more to come soon. :) I can tell you, THE SERVICE WAS VERY NICE, with a welcoming and professional demeanor. The manager -I believe his name is Karl-I can't find the BONDI card this minute, and that's where I wrote his name, was very nice, and he made sure every patron was being served and enjoying their meal. He clearly was giving 110% to his managerial responsibilities. Kudos to him!! Stay tuned, I shall visit BONDI again, within the next few weeks. But, yes, I would recommend BONDI. And, I enjoyed the calm feeling of the subdued lighting. Because let's face it, as high stress New Yorkers, who doesn't need some of that?! LOL
Bondi is a neat spot. There is one big island bar with bar seating all around. They also have a takeout side where they do a bunch of business. Went with the $32 lunch special. They also have a $26 one. The salmon sashimi and crispy rice were delicious. The sushi was well made and fresh. I bet they do more takeout than dine in. A little more pricey than your typical neighborhood sushi place. Good not great.
Walked by the place and checked on Yelp. It looked good. So want to give a try. At a price $70 for Omakase. It's not bad. I ordered additional order of Sea Scallop and Chu Toro. Only $19 additional. It's very fresh fish and pretty tasty. The server was very accommodating, I like their service. The environment was pretty friendly, not crowed, because it was early lunch. For the price and freshness of the fishes and service, no reservation needed for lunch. I will come back if I am in the neighborhood again.
