Bon Me - Longwood Medical Area

TLDR: great value modern Asian food With various rice, noodle and salad bowls and the eponymous sandwich Bon Me offers a very solid option for a casual meal. Portion sizes are large and the food won't blow you away but will he comfortably familiar and good. Great casual spot for the area!

I've tried Bon Me through a food truck at an event last year, so I was happy to see this location while I was in the Longwood area. The food was just as good as I remembered. I've tried their sandwiches and bowls and for both portion sizes are generous. The Namesake was delicious. Bread was crisp outside and soft inside, pork was tender, and the vegetables were fresh. Another time I tried the K-town Throwdown bowl which was also flavorful with fresh ingredients. For drinks, I tried the pumpkin five spice bubble tea and the Thai basil limeade and both were refreshing. Ordering on the kiosks was easy and food arrived quickly, even during the lunch rush. Dining area was clean with plenty of seating available. I'll be back next time I'm in the Longwood area.

Come here for VALUE. The size and quality of the sandwiches definitely match its price point. Don't come in expecting authentic viet food, but come in expecting viet inspired food :) Great tasting sandwiches all around. Definitely recommend getting their sandwiches, especially the namesake. Their pulled pork is delicious and tastes wonderful with the veggies and bread. The other two sandwiches are just okay, and everything else on the menu (imo) is a pass. Their rice is also kinda mushy so I wouldn't recommend. tldr: If you come here, get the namesake. It's yummy, filling, and wont hurt your wallet.

Overall, fairly disappointed with the food here. Ambiance and service were fine, but the food was not good at all.ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10Modern looking interior with some outdoor seating and overall can accommodate 20-30 people.SERVICE: 7/10Service was fine without any issues.FOOD: 2/10Singapore Style Noodles - 2/10 - These noodles were what they were advertising and so I got them to try. Not authentic at all. Noodles were soggy, oily and worst of all, pretty flavorless. Very disappointed and I would not get this again.Miso Kimchi Ramen - 3/10 - The soup broth was very lacking which is the heart of a bowl of ramen. It did not have that strong miso flavor that I would expect from a miso ramen. The meat was also subpar. This was probably the weakest bowl of ramen that I have ever had from a dine in experience.Vietnamese Iced Coffee - 2/10 - Sad to say even the drinks were not any better. This coffee did not have the robusta base flavor that I would expect out of a Viet coffee. This just tasted off and wrong in so many ways it's hard to pinpoint what was the main thing wrong with it.VALUE: 2/10I gave this a low score not because the food is overpriced, because I think the prices are in line with other places, but because the food is so bad and they are charging the same prices. You have so many other options that this is just a waste of value.PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 0/10TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Please, please, AVOID this place at all costs.OVERALL: 3/10

Giant tasty sandwich which, after 20% tip for a dine in order, still cost the same as most other options around Boston. For my first Banh Mi experience here I tried the namesake and I expect to be full for days. The bread was crisp and warm, and the pickles savory and sweet. The pork itself was sufficiently moist. I have to say there wasn't any taste of miso, but I did catch the whiff of pate. Fast and friendly service with a clean interior.

The food is so good! My mazemen hit all the marks with the veggies, chicken, and noodles. The service was quick which works with my lunch break and the store itself was packed with others who clearly had the same idea.

I stopped in to try the namesake sandwich and it was good... nice hot roll with a perfect crunch. Pork needed more flavor, sauce or moisture. Veggies on sandwich with light sauce on it were fresh. I hoped meat would have had more spice or marinade and taste. I'd order again , but the cheese steaks in food hall across street looked more appealing.

Excellent food and prices! Absolutely tasty food. Great options - not a ton but then again, they focus all that goodness into a few select items! The sandwiched were hefty and really good = the Korean (Chicken) and the Namesake was just that and excellent as well. The rice bowls are huge and a ton of food and again a great value and price. A must stop for any meal or if you're in the area.

Located about 1 block from Dana Farber Bon Me was our choice for takeout after a long day at the hospital. We ordered the ramen and a noodle bowl as well as kimchi. Everything was hot and tasty despite it being taken out. Will order again if we stay overnight again.

Disgusting. Ordered the worst boba tea of my life. It was so hard and gross. Boba should be soft n tender n chewy. Pho sucked and was flavorless with over cooked dry chicken. Rice bowl sucked as well. Same dry chicken 40$ for garbage food. Didn't even make it halfway through any dish
