Bonsai Bistro -- Coeur d'Alene, Idaho


Incredibly enough we left Montana reasonably early (for us), which put us into Coeur d'Alene for lunch. That meant we had a lot more food options than on a typical road trip. We settled on the Bonsai Bistro, a pan-Asian place in downtown, as it had plentiful parking. We ordered Malaysian vegetable tofu stir fry and the carmelized garlic noodles. Both dishes were very good. I especially liked the tofu stir fry. The tofu is artisanal and you can really tell the difference. The noodles were just that -- a plate of noodles -- although they were delicious. But better for a larger group to split. I would definitely go back, although since the portions are so generous for two, I think we would order just an appetizer and one main dish.

They have an extensive sushi menu, which we didn't sample, so I'm unable to comment on that.

The service was prompt and attentive and the space was attractive. The restaurant is located just across the street from the lake and the main resort.
