Bonzai Sushi and Noodle Bar is a Japanese restaurant at 11-13 Carlton Street in Nottingham’s Hockley neighbourhood. The dining room serves lunch through to late evening, giving visitors a central option for both a quick bowl of noodles and a longer shared meal.
Sushi ranges from individual rolls to large platters designed for the table, with sashimi and rice bowls adding further choice. Udon, ramen and other noodle dishes offer a warmer, more substantial alternative. Diners can also combine a choice of noodle or rice, protein and sauce.
Katsu curry, tempura, tofu dishes and Japanese-style snacks extend the menu beyond sushi. Lunch sets bring together a starter, soup and a main course in a concise format. Vegetarian options appear across sushi, noodles and hot dishes rather than being confined to one section.
Beer and wine accompany the food, while reservations, takeaway and delivery provide flexibility around the dine-in service. The broad menu works well for groups with different preferences. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients and kitchen practices before ordering.
Address: 11-13 Carlton Street, Nottingham NG1 1NL, England
