Bon Bon Sandwiches

Local Vietnamese restaurant that has become our to-go in the area. I usually order beef pho noodles, noodle salads, and their shrimp spring rolls. Huge portions so I'm usually taking home leftovers or asking my partner for help. There's usually seating available with drivers coming in and out every so often for pick up orders. I personally haven't seen any groups hanging out with games but there are games and books available in their community bookshelf.Reasonably priced, consistent, comfort food that's nearby. I hope Bon Bon is here to stay! Especially because I'm curious about the rest of their menu (i.e. wings, loaded fries, etc).

Bon Bon is a hidden gem. Amazing Vietnamese food. Wide variety of pho and the best wings in town. No joke, and with the rice, it's A+. It's a clutch take out place but there's plenty of room to eat inside as well. Their shrimp and tofu spring rolls are a perfect grab and go item. The peanut sauce is addicting. Friendly counter service. Highly recommend.

Delightful Neighborhood Restaurant with Fabulous Food and Inviting AmbienceThis is such a delightful little restaurant! The food is extraordinary, and they have a larger menu than one would expect in a neighborhood cafe. The ambience is inviting, with lots of artworks on the walls and if you love books, you can sit in a table framed by a bookshelf full of interesting, artistic and philosophical offerings. The owners are lovely, the tables have good space between them, and the service is fast. This feels like it would become my neighborhood hangout it I lived in Chicago. I hope to be back there soon.

I should have listened to the reviews? Yikes. I really wanted to love this place. It was okay - I probably wouldn't go back.Korean Philly Cheesestreak: The only saving grace? It was good, it was fine. It's a mix of bulbogi beef + cheese + giardiniera - nothing special. You can probably make this at home pretty easily.Mango Fruit Smoothie: Literally the WORST smoothie I've ever had. Ever. Ever. Ever. It tasted like Flintstone Vitamins... Yes. You know what I'm talking about. Absolutely awful.

Overall, this place is great. This place has a "mom and pop" feel, in my opinion, and I love it. I highly recommend. I really, really enjoyed the food. The owner is super sweet and nice.I order two items: Coconut Curry Chicken Banh Mi Sandwich and the Shrimp Spring Rolls. They were both very delicious. The sandwich is HUGE. I can get two meals out of this sandwich (lunch and dinner). Additionally, the Shrimp Spring Rolls were very filling.I ordered via Door Dash (because I have some Door Dash credits). When I came in for pickup, I was in a rush. I wanted to get in-and-out. However, I noticed I forgot to order Thai Tea. The owner was kind and shared that he could give me a Thai Tea now, and I could pay the next time I come in. I'm sharing this because I was absolutely shocked at his kindness. His kind act will definitely have me return. (I ended up running to my car to grab my wallet to immediately pay because I would forget to pay later.)

For us service is at least half the experience. The music was so loud it was almost impossible to hear the cashier to place my order. In fact I never actually made out what she asked me. My husband had to answer for me. And worse I don't know if the WiFi was out or not but the songs kept stopping and starting super annoying. There are a lot of vegan options which I appreciate but it's not very good. I got the lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi. It was fine but nothing special. We also had a rice ball which was not tasty at all and came with no instructions or even a plate. We asked how to eat and instead of answering the waiter just pointed to a photo. The curry fries were fine. Would not go back

Had a selection of items and loved the Korean wings - flavor is out of this world! Kimchi fries were amazing and the well-marinated meat in the Vietnamese sandwich was juicy, generously portioned, and delicious! Love the care that the owners invest in their diners' experience and how to innovate their food, flavor, and menu.

I've lived down the street from this place and I have so many regrets not coming in sooner! I tried their wings for the first time and I had to immediately write a review. When I tell you I am the most picky person when it comes to wings & these surprised me in the best wayyyyy! The quality (I don't like super slimy, veiny wings and these were not that at all) and crunch was IMMACULATE!! Highly recommend stopping here for lunch. It's super cute/hole in the wall type place. The owner or manager was extremely friendly and was giving me all the recommendations/tips. I can't wait to come back and try something new :) also who doesn't love a store that has the small bags of chips.

My sister and her boyfriend love Bon Bon sandwiches and I was so excited when my sister picked us up take out for us here today! She got me a tofu bahn mi and herself a seitan bahn mi, my mom had some type of bowl. They said their food was super spicy, but I didn't really think mine was! We also shared fries which were delicious! Would definitely recommend

I can only speak for one dish, as I haven't tried anything else from this restaurant, but the vegan pho is really bad. Like really bad...bland, weirdly oily, and the tofu has a very odd look and taste. Also, ordering from a food delivery app, it didn't come with sriracha or hoisin sauce, which is unusual. And there were barely any veggies. There are quite a few places to get vegan pho in Chicago (Nhu Lan is a personal favorite, and they also do incredible vegan bahn mis)...this is not one of them.
