Service
Pros:
"Top notch service at the bar."
"Our server was very attentive to my husband’s shellfish allergy, and even adapted a Wun Tun Ravioli dish for him to make a version without shrimp."
"All of the servers and staff were AMAZING. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had hands down."
"Service was great too."
"Service: very friendly service, the timing of bringing out the food was fantastic."
"The entire wait staff chip into make sure you’re constantly being served."
"The service is good."
Cons:
"This is the worst service I ever seen!!!!!"
"One of the worst run dining room I’ve ever attempted to eat at."
"Service was questionable."
"We felt forgotten, and mind you, we were at the bar with literally two bartenders looking at us throughout the night."
"Our server was totally checked out."
"The staff literally cannot be bothered - it’s bizarre and really a shame."
"He was really unpleasant and rude to us on two separate occasions."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The billionaire’s rice was pretty unremarkable as well."
"The chrysanthemum salad was delightful."
"Yummy! Was expecting a fusion flavour but it actually very authentic."
"These are all expertly seasoned and delicious."
"These were all so flavourful & unique—you can’t find anything like these elsewhere!"
"Everything was good quality and cooked well."
"The food is great."
Cons:
"Food is decent but not really of substance once you get past the novelty factor."
"Portions are quite small and dishes are expensive despite being similar to standard Chinese fare."
"The food isn't bad per se, but it's not good enough to warrant the hype that surrounds this place."
"Overpriced, over greased, under seasoned."
"Unremarkable, small portions and overpriced is the takeaway."
"The food -- highly mediocre, over-salted and lacking in character, taste and originality."
"The food was very salty across the board and felt like the food was half heartedly prepared."
Ambience
Pros:
"Place was cool and casual."
"The ambience was really chill."
"Loved the experience at Bonnie's! It's most certainly not your typical Cantonese restaurant - small menu, diner atmosphere, elevated cocktails."
"The atmosphere was pleasant and what you would expect from a Brooklyn spot like this."
"The vibe was great, music, decor and all."
"The atmosphere is modern and fresh - would be cute for a birthday or night out with friends/family."
"The place has striking clarity and simplicity."
Cons:
"I wasn’t a fan of sitting next to the bathroom because it forms really long lines (one bathroom for a pretty big restaurant) and people were crowding around our table."
"Ambience was lacking, the music was a hard miss and what kind of gimmick is a RGB changing light in the bathroom?"
"The place is incredibly loud and I had a hard time hearing my friends despite sitting around a small table."
"It can also be somewhat loud, making conversations a bit of a challenge."
"The seating was uncomfortable, the lights kept dimming and brightening as there seemed to be an issue with the electricity, and the bathroom was an epileptic's nightmare."
"Ambiance: a bit pretentious."
"All in all, not worth waiting hours for ear drum destroying music and meh food with a side of racism and belittlement."
Value
Pros:
"My total bill was $50 before tip."
"Prices were ok."
"And the prices are quite reasonable (this is NYC...)."
"Easily one of my favorite restos in Williamsburg."
