I started coming here after the fresh pond chipotle reduced their portion sizes. I’m happy I made the switch. For the same amount of money I’m getting more food with a more interesting flavor profile. It appears to be fairly healthy as well. I have not had the soups but can recommend all of the rice bowls I have tried as well as the namesake sandwich, which is a deal for the price. The staff is generally friendly if not a little quiet, the same can not be said for the aforementioned neighboring food vendor. Service is quick, and you get the same thing every time. No complaints.

Ordered in store, ordering is all digital through their IPad. The Japanese banh mi was delicious with a bit of zing. Was hoping for more of the meat but the veggies were fresh could used more slice of cucumber. Bread was nice and soft, The Thai lemonade tasted like plain lemonade. Kimchi was fresh and delicious though.

Great delicious food, I got the namesake with kimchi and the fries with togarashi salt. I came in about half hour before close. They helped me choose as it was my first time there. Made it and brought it out promptly. I walked there from the Marriott and it was still very warm by the time I got back.

Neat presentation. Clean restaurant. However, being named after the bahn mi sandwich, I had expected more of the bahn mi. The sandwiches would be great for a Subway, but they were rather bland when compared to the ones I’ve had at other Vietnamese restaurants. The Korean bahn mi had a little more zing, but was still nothing to write home about.

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.

Great place for a quick bite. Disappointed that they did not have a vegetarian/vegan pho option. Loved the drinks especially the bubble tea

I fail to see how this place expanded to several locations.

I like Bon Me food truck in downtown Boston slightly more than this Bon Me cafe in Cambridge. This Asian fushion cafe is good for a quick bite. The food came out quick. I tried their brown rice bowl with lemongrass fried chicken. The fried chicken is slightly salty and I would prefer less dressing sauce on the rice. During second visit, I ordered kimchi ramen with chicken. The broth and the noodle are good. Generous portion of chicken. I also tried the sandwich with bbq pork. I like the baguette and the pickled vegetables filling. However, the bbq pork is more like roasted pork than grilled pork. Personally, I would prefer grilled meat on the bahn mi sandwich.

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

I love the food, like the JP, the K-town Throwdown & the Basil Limeade. One big problem I have is the BonMe website (square space) does not let me actually finish an order, and I have to phone them. I’m using a Firefox browser (pretty common), and after I get all the info into Bon Me website, it stops me from ordering because I have not input my “billing address” which is illogical because I did put my ZIP code in with the CC info. I wonder how many orders Bon Me has not gotten because of this Square Space website.
