Where can you get tempura in Wesley Chapel?
Bonsai Sushi fries it at 1652 Bruce B Downs Blvd in The Shoppes at New Tampa: shrimp and vegetables together in the Tempura Shrimp Appetizer, with tempura sauce. The same tempura sits beside the teriyaki and Bul Go Gi combos and on the Tempura Udon. Order it for pickup or delivery, or eat it in the dining room.
What kinds of tempura are on the menu?
Four starters and a run of plates. The Tempura Shrimp Appetizer is shrimp and vegetables; the VegetableTempura Appetizer, printed as one word on the menu, is vegetables alone; the Seafood Tempura Appetizer adds white fish and krab stick to the shrimp; and the Soft Shell Crab Tempura is a whole soft shell crab, fried. For a meal, the Tempura Udon puts the shrimp and vegetable tempura next to rice, bean sprouts, a house salad with ginger dressing and miso soup, and three dinner combos pair the same tempura with Chicken Teriyaki, Bul Go Gi or Spicy Pork. Tempura turns up inside the rolls too: shrimp in the Shrimp Tempura Roll, soft shell crab in the Spider Roll, chicken in the Kentucky Roll, calamari in the 911 Roll and gator on top of the Gator Roll.
