A PURE VIETMANESE STREET FOOD EXPERIENCE:

To create something unique, you have to mix things up.

Vietnamese food is one of the most diversified and influenced cuisines on the planet, but at its core, it is a delightful mix of shared native flavours and borrowed techniques. Without its French influence, Vietnamese cuisine would not be as we know it today.

This coming together of two completely different culinary cultures, focused on authenticity, health and obsession to do simple things well, exists at the core of our passion.

At Bon Bon Boy, we love what we do, and we welcome you to our restaurant as if you were family. We hope you love our food and feel our passion for Pure Vietnamese street food.

    Restaurant was moderately busy but the service was quick. We ordered mostly entrees to share. When we received our order all of the fried food was over cooked and dark brown. At $12.50 a dish for most, eg 3 pan fried dumplings or 4 thin spring rolls, it was expensive. The chicken ribs were so overcooked they looked unappetising and were just edible. At $90 for three of us this was one of the most disappointing meals I have ever been served. I would have taken issue with the staff at the time but we had another commitment that prevented me from doing so. Not sure if this was indicative of the normal standard but too serve this quality of food to us was bad judgement at best.

    Highly Recommend! Super convenient to Marvel Stadium & Southern Cross Train Station - great for before/after footy/concert etc. Yummy delicious food! We shared plates between us to try lots & loved everything! Spring rolls, satay skewers, dumplings, pork belly (amazing) stir fried vegies! The only thing which is out of their control is the toilets, they are separate down a hallway part of building next door & had barely any paper left (they explained they are not theirs & are cleaned by an external company)!

    Meals were so slow, had to continually ask where they were. Entrees come after mains.

    They couldn't find my booking. Not enough staff and lots of people complaining about the lack of service. We left and went elsewhere. Very disappointing

    The staff were trying but couldn’t meet the food orders as they were understaffed and the online food ordering system didn’t work properly. We ended up leaving before we got all the food we ordered. There was a big event on at Marvel. They were simply not prepared for a big early crowd and should not have accepted so many customers and orders.

    We had a large group of 20 people for a 21st party. The food was excellent. However, we were told beforehand that we would be looked after by Vivien. When we arrived we were not told that we could order food either by App or by menu, my husband and I had told all our guests that we would be paying for everyone but many guests ordered through the App so ended up paying themselves. We were told to order by App but everyone had to use one phone (my husband's) so we could pay for their meal. This took a very long time, since each person had to look through the dishes, select, then pass his phone to the next person. Three of our guests did not receive their meals, including my husband and myself, who ordered 2 entrees and 2 mains between us and only received one of the entrees. A few people ordered via menu and there were no problems. Some of the dishes we ordered were not available. It was such a shame and we felt very bad that some of our guests went hungry. I think that the whole experience would have been so much easier and better if someone had just come to our table, explained that we could order using the menu (which were never given to us, we had to go find them), then we could order all at the same time. We didn't see Vivien the whole night. Such a shame.

    Very poor service, had run out of much of what we ordered, we felt we inconvenienced the staff, got wrong drinks, when we ordered something different as they had run out of what we wanted made us pay $2 price difference, food was ok, experience was not! Would not return.
