A great, cozy fusion restaurant. Their pho was excellent, and the Vietnamese coffee tasted genuine and well-prepared. It's nice to be able to see the chefs as they prepare the meals — it's clear they have a friendly rapport, which adds to the atmosphere as well.
Had a great meal at Bon Me. The fried chicken bowl was excellent: crispy, golden pieces over fresh greens and rice, topped with a soft egg, all put together with real care. The chicken honestly reminded me of the fried chicken back home in Brazil, I don’t know anywhere else around here that makes it like this, and I absolutely love it. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and the portion was generous. The space is clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I make a point of recognizing places like this, because that kind of quality and attention is what raises the standard around here. Keep it up! I’ll be back.
This place was nice. Staff was friendly and the food was ready quickly (there are no servers here). The food was ok, not the best Ramen or bahn mi that I’ve ever had - it was just ok. Will be back again perhaps for the sandwich but probably won’t get the ramen again.
Flavorful and exciting "Asian-inspired" dishes. I have never been before but it was very good. Great portions too. Very clean interior and quick-thinking staff. Will come again.
Great choice of Food Menu and Service is Top Notch. The attendant was kind in taking me through the various options and combinations. You can actually create your own Combination. The Food is Excellent. The only minus is there aren't a lot of seats. Other than that, it's a great place to eat over and over again 👍🏾 …
