Reviews for Bon Japanese Cuisine in Bee Cave, TX

I hate the feeling of being ripped off and that?s how I feel now. Wife placed an order online. Salmon bowl. The gentlemen... confirmed the order and after talking to him to confirm the miscommunication his pronunciation of roll vs bowl is difficult todistinguish. When my wife arrived to a salmon roll she let the gentlemen know that is not what she ordered - there areingredients in the roll specifically the tempura that she can?t eat. At checkout the gentlemen charged her for the roll and thebowl. My wife did NOT take the roll and communicated she can?t eat it yet was still charged. I called to speak with thegentlemen and after firmly holding his ground arguing that we was correct he said he could not void the sushi roll but we couldcome back and he would pay us cash for the additional charge of the food that was not taken. Only problem is we live 30 minutesaway and driving an hour for $16 is not worth it. Leaving this one star review subject to change if we ever find ourselves nearthe restaurant. Read more

I've always had an average opinion of this restaurant. Food was ok, just small portions. I visited this restaurant for one of my... favorite dishes. But recently I was very disappointed. Portions were very small instead of small. When they brought my favoritedish, I thought that someone had already eaten it. Half as much as before, even the sauce could not put enough. And the tastehas not changed for the better. Complete disappointment. Will never return to this restaurant again. Read more

I don?t like to give crumby reviews, but the sashimi was really disappointing. It was a little slimy, it smelled more fishy than... it probably should ????, and had a pungent flavor. The eel was a little better than the tuna and the miso soup was decent. Thismay have been an outlier, but it was not what we were expecting. Maybe the rolls with rice or something else is a little better.The serving sizes were also pretty small for the price. I hope your experience is better than ours - happy eating! Read more

Bon is my local go to for Japanese food - especially sushi. I frequently order takeout which is always well packaged and comes... with a good amount of soy, wasabi and chopsticks. I came in for lunch and found the lunch special to be amazing as well. We gotmore than enough food and fast service at an excellent price. Read more

Second time here. The first time, the roll was not good but I did my best to eat it halfway and then I ordered something... different because it was not good. I got the fried calamari. I still told the waitress I would be back because she was nice andattentive and I love sushi. I enjoy good service. This time, I ordered the Lakeway Roll and asked the guy about it. He said itwasn?t his favorite, and now I understand why. I like scallions but the way they cooked them and topped the roll looked likeworms, and the texture?.it was disgusting. When he presented that to me it looked so bad. And before I ate it I said that lookedso weird. I tried one bite and I did my best not to throw up. I was under the impression it would be cooked in my roll. Istarted looking at the menu for a different roll, like the last time. Not exactly good if you visit a place for a second timeand still not like it. And the same nice waitress from my first trip came by. I was telling her that again I didn?t like theroll but I was gonna look at something different. Well the owner or manager or whoever, he overheard and came by and said that?show they cook it and that I was more than welcome to order something else but he would still charge me for it because cost offood. Ummm what?! First off that?s not what what I was saying. Which I understand because I used to run restaurants and familiarand of course, inflation. But for you to walk by and straight up assume that I want a free meal and tell me that you?re chargingme for it when that?s not even what I was saying. I totally felt stereotyped. I?ve never been treated so rudely. Who are you toassume I can?t pay for my meal? I live in the area, I can afford my meals. I was taking a relaxing dinner and that ruined it forme. Won?t return. Advice: don?t treat your customers like this when they were literally going to pay for something different. Read more

It has high rating so we picked it. Easy parking, right in front, and a lot of open table. Maybe it's lunch time and weekend,... it was pretty empty. Kids always order the same, basic salmon maki. Judging from how slow they ate and didn't finish, itwasn't the greatest and I know they are still hungry. We finished and went to another spot to fill up our stomach. Greatservice otherwise...

The food is really good, one of the best Japanese restaurant in Austin! The server also nice and taking care our table all the... time. Definitely will come back again. Read more

While I have had better sushi in Austin, Bon is definitely in the top three in the Lakeway/ BeeCave area. Their Bon roll is my... favorite along with the Bee and TX. We also love their beef gyoza and chicken karaage. I didn?t try any of their sake but theyseem to have a good selection. The prices are on the higher side, but I am ok with paying more for good sushi. Very helpful andfriendly staff. We got everything we ordered quickly. Read more
