BonMe is always my go to , esp for great delish & nutritious vegan and veggie selections. I'm always for crafting my own selections & oft go4 their Soba noodles bowl w miso lime & spicy tofu. If hungry I always tell them (in person, not online) to put it into a BOWL!!! (NOT A TOGO PAPER BOX) and to top it off w lots more spicy tofu plus a lot more shredded xtra carrots, bcs they're delish!!!!Vegetarian options: Instead of the regular options, opt for spicy tofu, it's not too spicy, but very flavorful. Except for their protein section (Tofu being their sole vegan option for protein), the rest of their meals are all veggie or vegan..Dietary restrictions: Just tell them, they'll accomodate. Just be aware that quite a few BonMe locations in Boston, namely Longwood Ave and the so called, Boston Public mkt locations, have staff with VERY minimal English speaking staff, (AS IN NONE!! ) Getting across your preferences can be, well.. challenging, but entertaining.. nontheless..Parking: Take the T, walk or bike, finding parking is a non optionWheelchair accessibility: Yes

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!

The 'Namesake' sandwich was basically crockpot barbecue on a hoagie roll. Sloppy and textureless.

Great Asian fusion food at a good price. No frills, which can be perfect!!!
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.

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.
Bit of a hidden gem. So I used to go to Bon Me food truck located right near south Station back when I worked in office, pre covid, and I used to get their spice rubbed chicken dish...and it was really good. Although I primarily WFH now, I was in the mood for that chicken dish from Bon Me, and I googled it and this location showed up. This location is HUGE, especially for a restaurant that has a pretty limited menu. But the cashier is SUPER nice. Smile on his face, super helpful, friendly, helped me pick out my food and explained the difference between their different sauces. Honestly, the service was somewhat remarkable. I will definitely be coming back to this location. Highly recommend.

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.

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
