The drinks are too overthought and over the top with the boba balls. Upon trying the different drinks I love the limeade drink it’s my go to drink when I go to Bon Me which is quite often…

I love the JP Bon Me sandwich with paprika tofu from the Cambridge Test Kitchen. I think I am addicted. It is comfort food supreme: warm bagette, crisp crust, delectable tofu, crunch cool pickled veggies, and just enough spicy mayo to tingle my mouth, but not trigger GERD. I have tried other vendors in the Greater Boston area and they do not compare. I wish the Cambridge location was open on weekends...such is life. My companions most recently had The Take Out- lo mein with Chinese salt and pepper chicken and raved about it.Vegetarian options: I know that the spicy mayo and bread may contain egg, but this sandwich approaches vegan standards close enough, that I cannot deny myself its pleasure.Dietary restrictions: I always ask for onions to be held on the JP and the staff is utterly accommodating.Parking: Many available meters near the Cambridge location as long as you go off peak dining hours.

Incredibly slow, staff ignoring customers. Won't be back. How do they stay in business?

Stopped here for lunch in the middle of the workday and it was delicious! There are kiosks that you can order from and customize your meal. I decided to add kimchi to my noodles and it was an awesome add in. I ended up sitting outside and the tables were clean and it was nice to people watch since there's so much going on in that area.

Ramen broth unfortunately didn’t have the depth of flavor of a real ramen joint. Individual flavors were good but didn’t come together as a whole.

This is my FAVORITE place to eat OMG the food is a great healthy option for anyone who works out perfect place for a cheat meal that's still healthy but filling; but if you simply just want a fantastic quick meal, oh yes stop by!!!
Good ramen. Bubble tea is plain taste but easy to get it w the meal.

Nothing like a fresh Banh mi sandwich with fresh crispy yet soft bread, flavorful chicken and veggies and creamy sauce - for a filling and satisfying yet quick meal after work! We got here around 6:35pm and they close at 7 but it was enough time for us to order, eat and be on our way. Place was fairly empty with only a couple of the tables occupied. Ordering was easy on the little iPads by the entrance. We had about a 5-10 minute wait till the food was ready. Both hubs and I got the same thing - spicy Korean style chicken sandwich. We enjoyed them and ate them pretty quickly. The staff was nice and didn't kick us out even though it was a few minutes past 7 and they had started cleaning the floors. The decor is cute with festive decorations for Chinese new year of the rabbit (see pictures). The space is large, clean with plenty of seating. I imagine it gets busy during the lunch hour being in the Pharma/Biotech central district in Kendall square. It's quieter in the evening as the area overall gets quiet due to the work crowd leaving. They did seem to get several pick up orders while we were there. Overall good satisfying meal and will return to try the other dishes!

Not sure what to make of this place that names itself after a Vietnamese dish, yet has an identity crisis with what food and cuisine it actually wants to serve. My miso kimchi ramen broth was bland and lost in its flavors and composition. The surprise winner of the dish was the pulled pork which was shockingly delicious. This restaurant needs to look itself in the mirror and figure out a direction, not try to pretend to be all Asian and nothing at once.
