Bonsai Japanese Steak & Sushi debuted in the southwest a little over a year ago and has expanded 10 miles to the north with a new, more casual venture, including some favorites from the original.

The 1,440-square-foot Bonsai Sushi Burrito is now serving at the Rocksprings Plaza retail center, close to the intersection of Lake Mead Boulevard and Rock Springs Road.

On the menu, the counter-service operation follows the familiar trend of build-your-own rice bowls, sushi burritos or salads that are priced between $8.75 for a single protein addition such as tempura shrimp, yellowtail, steak or salmon and up to $12.75 for three protein choices.

Pre-designed combinations include the $10.75 “ocean poke bowl” featuring salmon, tuna and yellow tail and and burritos like the $10.75 “cowboy,” created with steak, avocado, tuna, shrimp ebi and Bonsai’s own “screaming "O" sauce." Deep-fried sushi burritos are also available.

Appetizers already found at the original restaurant including gyoza, shumai, edamame, crag Rangoon, and four fried doughnuts for $4.95, plus a collection of boba drinks have been imported to the new menu.
