This is a small Vietnamese joint located on the corner of Main Street and 33rd Avenue. They have a menu consisting of pho, rice dishes, vermicelli and drinks. I had their Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Deep Fried Spring Roll on Rice Vermicelli and Vietnamese Coffee. I really enjoyed the food. The prices were a bit on the higher end, but not unreasonable. This is a spot that's definitely worth a visit.
Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Deep Fried Spring Roll on Rice Vermicelli ($12.25):
3.5/5
I really enjoyed the spring roll, which was very crispy and had a nice savoury filling. The chicken was quite tender and juicy, although I would have liked it to be a bit more charred, and it was a tad underseasoned. The pickled vegetables were quite nice, but
Vietnamese Coffee, Cold ($5):
4/5
This consisted of drip coffee in a filter that's over a cup containing a layer of condensed milk. You wait for the coffee to slowly flow into the cup and mix it with the milk. I wanted the coffee to be cold, so it came with a glass of ice. The coffee was quite strong and had a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness with the condensed milk.
Summary:
Food: 4/5
Price: 3.5/5
Service: 3/5
Overall: 3.5/5

Bon Cafe is along Main street on 33rd ave. We pass by this shop all the time whenever heading down to Pho Tan to get our Pho fix. We decided to try something else for a change so we can blog about it. The shop is rather small and appears to be run by a husband and wife team. The decor is not too spectacular and could use an update here and there.

I come here regularly for lunch as they are fairly quick with service. Their Bon's special sub is very good. It has the perfect ratio of meat and pickled veggies. The bun isn't too hard like other bahn mi shops. The spring roll that comes with the special combo is a little small. When I get the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli the spring roll is much bigger.
Came here for lunch for the first time. Had a bowl of pho with beef balls and rare beef and it did not disappoint. The servings were generous and the prices were decent. I think the soup was done just right. I'm not a fan of salty soup in my pho and this one was pretty spot on. Someone at another table ordered a broken rice dish and it looked amazing. Will definitely have to go back to try that.
Hidden Gem. I wish I tried Bon Cafe sooner. A total hidden gem, the food is amazing, I order the lemongrass chicken at least once a week.
Of all the pho restaurants I've tried in Vancouver, this is still my favorite. I like that I dont have to down cups of water after eating here, unlike some other places with a broth chock full of msg. When not getting pho, I get their lemongrass chicken and spring roll on vermicelli. Soo good! In terms of ambiance, its not the nicest, but I dont care when im here to eat! The owner is also a nice friendly guy.
Had a special banh mi and the pork banh mi and also a taro slush bubble tea. It was not enough. It was so good. I wanted more. Definitely coming back here.
Yummy soups. I've tried their Pho Tai and Bun Bo Hue - both were very good. While I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, this is a place I will keep going to as the owner is awesome and the broths are good. I'd probably have kept passing it by had the place next door, Au Petit Cafe not been full. Reminds me to never judge a book by its cover.
I really like the soup!! It's so good! Must try
Was waiting for a table at Au Petit Cafe. Strolled over to the corner of 33rd and Main, and spotted Bon Cafe. I drove by millions of times. Never thought much about it. The exterior needs some professional advise. Not saying it needs to be pretentious....I ordered a Bun Bo Hue. Just like ordering a Chirashi sushi at different sushi restaurants, you'll get the idea how good of a sushi restaurant they are. This is one mean Bun Bo Hue! I was sweating, nose running. Accompanied with a generous size of Soda Lemon, this combination hits the right spot! I will definitely return. Next time I will try their Pho Dac Biet. Another good measuring stick, so to speak. One side note...if they haven't pasted a bubble drink sign on the window, I would have visited long time ago.
