Bonzai - Greymouth

Not the most welcoming staff I’ve come across but the food was okay. They seem quite busy with a local dance competition nearby, in that there seemed to be one local and 3 tables of visitors, so maybe they’re just a little tired of smiling at people they don’t know. I felt I was a nuisance rather than a customer buying some lunch. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Good food and service but you don't get a lot. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Today's dine in experience was quite disappointing I'm sad to say. Half of the ingredients were missing in which we were not informed before our plate came out and thrown on there were some extra chicken nuggets we didn't want. No effort made to see that we paying customers were satisfied, no mention of food missing and didn't like the way the chef spoke to a staff member whilst ordering our food either. We did get our money back, so thanks for that. The coffee was great however and will only come back for coffees next time.

Pretty disappointed not cheap and not good. Had to wait for ages for some basic breakfast food there were only a few customers. Bacon and eggs specified no egg snot and a couple of hash browns, eggs were snotty so they went back, didn't notice the state of the bacon otherwise I would have asked them to cook it, as it was cold and fatty I don't think they had even cooked it straight from the fridge to my plate, three slice's of bacon and by the time I picked through to get the meat i had the equivalent of one whole piece of bacon left over but it was cold wet bacon fat eugh, and hash browns were only a mouthful.Requested a half of pancakes for our 6 year old but they wouldn't do a reduced portion so daughter only ate one of three, but they were pretty doughy not light and fluffy the rest went to the pigs, her bacon was as above. Wife had eggs holindase with bacon and ditto here again for the bacon, hey at least they were consistent.Wouldn't go back

Stopped in for lunch and was surprised at how many vegan options were available. Everything was so tasty, including the soy flat whites. Knocked it out of the park with the burger especially! We plan on coming back when we visit next : My partner would like to add that if you're looking for a Japanese vibe, this isn't it. We loved it as it was though since it had the feel of an old pub that was taken over as a cafe. It definitely has it's own character and charm about it. Absolutely beautiful staff and everyone was helpful!
