My only regret , not taking pictures of the food when it came! Don't judge a book by its cover!!! DELICIOUS 😋!!! Sushi was fresh, neat and great options! The Asian dish BP sauce with chicken Chicken tender, sauce perfect and well done! We will definitely return. Don't get confused there are two signs at the restaurant the lady goes by sunshine because people know her name and she's been in the business for 10 years the bonsai sign is when her son took over the restaurant.

Restaurant is in the cut so you can miss it. Service was great. Food came out quickly. Food was good. Flavorful.i would eat there again and again.

Restaurant is clean. Service was great. The food was excellent. We had sushi, crab ragoons and yum woon sen which was all very good. We have a new sushi spot and so close to home! I do suggest they put a "seat yourself" sign out. We will be back and often as we love sushi. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

This place is a hidden gem in Kannapolis. The food is cleanly made, and delicious. The reason for 2 stars is this - 1.) Wait Staff - It becomes apparent after only a few visits that the wait staff are somehow either friends or family of the folks who own it and while they are nice, they are usually clueless when it comes to basic "waiting" skills. I.E. Keeping Drinks full, occasionally stopping by tables to see if they need anything, etc. It amazes me that to run a restaurant, it seems your wait staff is comprised mostly of people who are probably working after school or on their "free" days....if you would hire 1 legitimately trained waiter/waitress...they could easily tend to the whole restaurant. 2.) The food and portion size is often inconsistent. Portion sizes are kind of small for what you pay for to be honest and sometimes if you get soup, it's like they fill the bowl up halfway. Inconsistency comes from the fact that if there are more than 3 tables seated at one time, food will be of an obviously lesser quality than if you went in and were the only ones there. 3.) The silence - the unbearable silence that allows someone on one side of the restaurant to hear the conversation you are having is just bad for the vibe of the whole joint, play some music or something please. I say all of these things because this is really a nice little spot, and with a few changes, it could be great. As a Kannapolis resident, I would love for this place to continue to succeed but it will take more than just good food for this place to become any more than it is. I would encourage anyone who is a local to become a regular at this spot, but I would also encourage the owners to turn around and invest that into quality improvement changes to enhance the experience of your patrons...or just switch to "take out only".

Such a lovely little place! The sushi was fresh and the bonsai chicken had a nice kick to it. Atmosphere is very relaxed and the owner is incredibly sweet, a pleasure to chat with(:

The price isn't bad, but it's not good food. We ordered lunch so the dishes were only $7.50 each. The Orange chicken was very soggy and the portion wasn't the best. You can get a pretty similar quality in the frozen section at a grocery store, cheaper. I had the Green curry and it was very watery and to compensate for that they dyed the curry an unnatural green. Nothing like getting ready to bite into your chicken and thinking it has blue mold on it. But no, it's just the blue staining it from the dye. Won't go there again.

As a person who eats alot of sushi at all kinds of places I can say that this has to be my favorite. best in cabarrus county!!! If you go for some of the super rolls you won't be disappointed. Very good taste and always made fresh I have and will continue to return. Staff are always friendly and the owner is always wearing a smile. EAT AT SUNSHINE'S!!!

I came for lunch on a weekday, and was surprised to find that my friend and I were the only people in the restaurant for our entire hour and a half lunch. We ordered orange chicken and Pad Thai which were both just okay. The food would not draw me back, that’s for sure. The service, however, was excellent and the atmosphere was nice and clean. However, the soap in the bathroom was so watered down that it didn’t clean at all! This is a concern because how can the staff wash their hands properly without proper soap?

This is probably a 3.5, the staff was great. Appetizers were good. The sesame chicken and hibachi chicken were both good. The sushi was average.

Came here for dinner for the first time. Food was pretty decent. Would have been nice to have a sign up that says 'seat yourselves' instead of waiting at the door for 10mins realizing we could have seated ourselves. Appetizer came out than sushi came long before the other dishes from the kitchen. Service was pretty slow, $7 for a California roll is a bit on the pricey side. The waiter might have came over a total of 5 times, including bringing dishes and removing dishes. Got asked once if needed a refill after the drink was already gone.

Food was good. Service was ok, though maybe not quite what I would have expected as we were the only people in the restaurant. Drunken noodles quite good. Even mild was ok. I can't remember which curry my wife got but she loved it and the little I tried was tasty. No sushi for lunch when we came, no problem. Crab Rangoon we're good. Price was decent given portion size and all. We wouldn't hesitate to come back if we ate looking for a meal in kannapolis. The restaurant is a little off the beaten path, don't let that deter you.

The parking lot was packed when we arrived, but when we sat down, we saw only one table was seated. We could hear karaoke singing through the walls. Food was good, service was prompt. When we went to leave, the karaoke party let out and everyone queued up at the register. Also, what is up with no alcohol?? Interesting place!

The best PHO and sushi around! Love Sunshine and Jeffrey. They make you feel like family! This is our go to whenever we want a nice relaxing meal. Highly recommend!

Honestly bummed out at how bad my dinner was. Was looking forward to finding a solid Asian restaurant near me. Payed way to much for what I got and the quality was very low. I hope for the sake of the restaurant it was an off night but there is no chance that I will return. Despite lots of good reviews they did not even come within 3 standard deviations of my expectations and I am usually very open.

Very very good spot. Still working my way around the menu but the Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken def hooked me. Have gotten the beef, it was a bit bland in my opinion. But this place is a gem because the food tastes fresh, like they cut the veggies right before they made your order, love that. Also the hours are a tad weird and it can be hard to get them on the phone to order ahead. Owner seems lovely. Photos are of the Cashew Nuts Stir-Fry.

Food is always great. Been coming to them for years. Sushi is always well prepared and presented beautifully. All the dishes are well priced. Only wish they sold alcohol.

I placed a to go order and I had to wait 30 min for sushi... but it was super worth it! ♡ Hidden gem here! Glad we tried it out, will definitely go back again and dine in next time! ☆

Got take out for lunch today. Fried California roll & AK roll. Absolutely delicious!! Staff so so friendly & welcoming. Will definitely be back!

This was the best place I have gotten food from in a very long time. The lady at the register made sure my call in order was correct and double checked it for me. She was the only one running the front. She deserves more than 5 stars. The food was amazing, everyone was very happy. I will be going back for more California rolls.

Went today for lunch and we loved it! Crab Rangoons were delicious, best I've ever had. We ordered sushi and oh my god, it was AMAZING. Highly recommend the Double Trouble roll (Spider roll, Red Dragon roll and Snow white roll were all superb choices as well). Sushi was a bit on the higher price range but worth every penny. Inside of restaurant is very clean and gorgeously decorated, staff were kind and delivered excellent service. Can't wait to eat here again ❤️

Absolutely, with out hesitation I’d say this is the best Asian food EVER. The sesame chicken was out of this world. My wife had a tofu dish and loved it. It just tasted like they take pride in there food. Tucked back behind foxfire till they move back downtown town. We left satisfied and full. Price was also very good. One Small thing I liked was I ordered a coke and got a can. I’m not a fan of fountain drinks. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Food was very good, have to try the Kannapolis roll! We got take-out, the service was not friendly... just kinda going thru the motions. I don't know that I'd go dine-in but will likely carry out again.

We discovered Bonsai when it was Sunshine’s in downtown Kannapolis. Sunshine said her main ingredient was “love” and that she blessed every dish. It was obvious then and that main ingredient is served to this day. This restaurant is a family favorite. Food is amazing. Sunshine used to prepare our food for us based on what we needed and she was never wrong. She would say, I bring you something special. And it always was. Just my opinion but anything less than a 5 star review I just do not understand. I guess we all have off days? Prices are very affordable. Skip the China Buffet up the street and drive towards the fire station. Sunshine’s is behind it. They would have more stars if I could give them. I love that they moved bc I can walk there from my house.

This place is small so seating is very limited - Parking is good - Sushi is great size for the prices with a nice selection - The Sesame chicken is the best I've had in a long time - Service is the best.

I really like this place. It's inexpensive, but unlike American Chinese food, you don't feel like garbage after you eat it. I leave feeling full and refreshed. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I haven't found a dish I didn't like. They make their boba tea in house and that was pretty delicious. Good food for reasonable prices, need I say more?

All places in and around kannapolis cannot compare to this amazing find. Tastes so fresh and homeade unlike others of its kind. A little spendy for the quality but will take that over the other stuff we have found that tastes like it's been sitting out for hours. Can't wait to go back!

Such a cute and delicious spot! Our waiter was extremely kind and attentive. There were a ton of food options we couldn't get just one roll! Every sushi roll we had was great! Definitely recommend checking this spot out.

Amazing hidden gem in Kannapolis! It looks like a warehouse on the outside...but don't let that fool you! The Food is absolutely delicious! The staff is incredibly friendly! The whole experience was amazing!

Please post your complete menu like other restaurants do. You have pictures, but nothing says what it is. It would be nice to know what I'm ordering. The pics of the menu are not very good. You'll get more business!
