Nice venue with attentive friendly staff who present when required to provide service. Which is a welcome change to most restaurants. So my full tick of approval for service. Food was sensational well presented and hot. I fully recommend.
Its not often you find a balinese place. This place is well styled and you feel like your in bali! Menu had lots of balinese food! Good service! Food average and Free dessert is generous. Its Dark and hard to take good photos
This little café is off the main road in Tecoma, hidden directly behind the burger behemoth. It serves Chinese and Indonesian cuisine, and the Balinese influence is evident in the décor and furnishings, particularly the woven bamboo and timber chairs. The indoor dining area is quite spacious, though there were few customers when I was there. Some Asian pop (possibly Indonesian) played a touch too loudly in the background. The menu included quite a few vegetarian options, and some items were marked as vegan, so points for that. I chose the vegetable spring rolls and the “special spicy tofu”, which was very nice. The serving staff were friendly, and somewhat layback, but it was a quiet shift after all.
Great food, nice setting... very good at catering to the Gluten Free contingent, separate GF menu and all ... including dumplings!!! Only down side... no GF soy sauce on offer. Service was excellent, Georgina deserves special mention.... A bit out of the way for me but I'll be back. Thanks for a lovely dinner!
The best service I ever experienced on Asian restaurant. Foods are spot on and awesome ! Will definitely come back again. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
came here for dinner with my family, the service was impeccable, not just one but all the waiter here are so friendly and polite.
the food are quite good, but honestly its not indonesian, as i am indonesian and i dont remember any of indonesian food tasted like that.
but doesnt mean that its not good, its just simply not authentic at all.
Quite authentic Indonesian cuisine, I highly recommend the Curry Kamping and the Rendang Beef.. Service is great, wait staff are friendly and manager is very polite.. The Chinese portion of the menu leaves a lot to be desired though

Overall the service, atmosphere and food quality were good but I found the choices quite limiting considering the owner’s claims. Would I return? Probably not.
Great service, food and really clean too. We loved the food! Will definitely go back and try some more dishes.
We just love this place, always great food, people who run the place are wonderful. Family favourite is the special spicy chicken. Do yourself a favour and give it a try, you won't be disappointed
The food is getting even better.. This cozy little restaurant is our local haunt, situated in the Dandenongs next to the new MacDonalds at Upwey. :-(
We visit maybe every couple of weeks. Last night we attended with 8 of our friends and had a great night of laughter and food.
Our host Sally was as polite as ever and the menu "Bonsai Banquet" was the best we've had.
We've always enjoyed their food which is reasonably priced.
I would recommend this restaurant to couples and groups alike for a good night of Chinese or Indonesian food. The atmosphere is casual and friendly with excellent wait staff. BYO is a bonus.
Thanks Sally, see you net time.

Wow. Brilliant food. Fantastic service.. As our first time experience eating in, we ate there as a table of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids under 6 years) on Saturday 12th July, and enjoyed a fantastic meal. The food was an absolute delight to the palate. I had the Indo Chicken Hot Pot (I do not remember the precise Indonesian name) and it was amazing. The texture was crisp with the vegetables, a hint of lemongrass, perhaps some fish sauce, and the chicken was mainly breast slices perfectly cooked (still juicy, not dry) and a few bits of thigh to measure. These had been braised with the sauce. The staff were very accommodating with our kids (they grabbed booster seats for them both) and were very courteous. The drink prices were quite reasonable, and the place was relatively busy by the time we had left. Not normally my sort of thing, but a banana fritter or two were ordered for the table by one of our group, and that was actually very good. We will definitely return.
LOVE THIS PLACE. I really love supporting local businesses who have amazing customer and brilliant tasty food. I've been back two times and will continue coming back as this will be the place i take any friends vistiting us in the hills. I've only ever had the Indo food which has been lovely and my mum from Burleigh Heads, QLD still raves about it.. The spicy tofo is also yummy as well!! Lovely happy people!!!
Amazing place to take kids. I had heard how amazing they where with kids but I didn't really believe it until I went there. The food was yummy too. We'll be back.
Very good service since the business has changed hands earlier this year. Yummy food at a very reasonable price. Menu is updated regularly with new dishes and very family friendly in terms of food (can swap and change meals to suit the kids). Have been dining there since early 2012 and in my opinion, reviews prior to June this year can be disregarded as the business has changed everything except their decor and location!
New management since June 2013. Bonsai Bali in Tecoma has been taken over and is 3 months now. we have been dining in for a long time, the food becomes nicer and fresher after changing hands! The service is wonderful, if you are going up to the hill, this Chinese and Indonesian Restaurant will be the first choice !! Gold Star !
Great hidden treasure in the hills. Have mainly gotten take away from Bonsai Bali and its always been really good. Ate in for the first time last Saturday night and it was again, superb. Had an amazing beef curry and a spicey chicken dish with garlic which was beautiful.
Fantastic food & service. I wonderful tantalising experience at Bonsai Bali. The delicate subtle flavours leave your tastebuds stimulated for hours after. The service is friendly & accommodating and the food is to die for!!!!
Nice night out. Food was tasty and good size servings. Entrees should have arrived at the same time... Prices were reasonable. Will eat there again.
