Bon Chef Cafe

Met up with my favorites for brunch. Located along Eastern, in the same complex as Bratalian and I believe this used to be Sushi Factory. First thing I noticed was a play area for kids… they’re definitely kid-​friendly. They have crayons and coloring sheets and toys to keep kids busy.
The brunch menu had so many things that appealed to me. Monte Cristo was the first thing on the menu and it seemed good so I was going to get that until I was told about the Banana NUTELLA pancakes! I also saw the eggs Benedict. So many to choose from, what a dilemma! Foodie partner to the rescue! So, we got all 3… problem solved.
Monte Cristo:
French toast, turkey, ham and cheese — battered and fried. I haven’t had a good Monte Cristo since I left Omaha years ago. This has got to be one of my favorite sammies. No veggies, just carbs and things that would clog your arteries (well, except maybe the turkey). But then they give you a side of fruits (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapples and grapes). ⁴⁄₅
Banana Nutella Pancakes:
I could taste the salted butter they put on the pancakes and the Nutella was just a drizzle. Sliced bananas and dabs of chocolate on top. I had to ask for more Nutella — it was not enough. ³⁄₅
Eggs Benedict:
You have the option of getting hash browns or Bön potatoes. Some bastard chose Bön potatoes since the server said it has more flavor. What it is is country potatoes that aren’t crispy… but that’s ok. The Hollandaise sauce was great, slightly tangy and had the right consistency. ⁴⁄₅

My Mom and I were searching for a new place to try for breakfast, and I found this little gem on Unilocal (of course)!
It’s in a great location, easy to find off of Eastern Ave.
As soon as I got out of the car, I could smell some sort of grilling goodness and was definitely intrigued. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a very friendly gentleman who told us to choose any table we wanted.
I am not a morning person, so when I say breakfast — it was more of brunch. :) They offer a limited breakfast menu all day, and we were also provided with the lunch menu and daily specials.
My Mom ordered the steak and eggs and I got the chicken fried steak and eggs. Both come with a side of hashbrowns. After we ordered, we saw the table next to us were enjoying one of the lunch specials — a super delicious looking pasta dish, and we were immediately wishing that one of us had ordered it.
However, when our food came out, we quickly forgot about the lunch special, as everything looked really amazing.
My chicken fried steak was two medium sized patties, covered in what looked like bacon gravy. The 2 eggs were perfectly done and huge. The CFS crispy, but not over done. And the gravy was heaven.
My Mom’s steak was the real star of the meal. I am not sure what they marinated it in, but it had a really great smoky flavor (which I assume is from the grill). It was also extremely tender.
We’ve been raving about this place since that breakfast, and my Mom has even mentioned how she can’t wait to go back for lunch or dinner so that she can try other items.
The service was quick and friendly, the prices are decent, and it’s a nice little neighborhood joint. I wish there were more restaurants like this one!

I had high expectations of this place and they were met and possibly exceeded. It’s been on my radar now since the pre-​fix valentines menu. FINALLY got the opportunity and I jumped on it.
It is at the corner of a strip mall with a great not too big, not too small interior. We came an hour before closing so there was not much traffic and we were treated with superb service. The chef also stopped by to make sure we were happy. (love when they do that)
Between 3 of us, we ordered chicken marsala, shrimp and salmon scampi, chicken alfredo, lobster bisque, and the chicken wings appetizer.
I was very pleased with everything, however I do prefer my bisque with a tad more texture. It was a bit runny. That would be the only thing I’d skip on next time. The salmon was one of the best ever. Cooked to perfection! My daughter killed the alfredo, it also was homemade and yummy.
Towards the end if you want dessert., there is no menu. You just go over to the case and pick one. I was confused on the unique style desserts they offered. The chef was so sweet, he offered to take all 3 types of baklava, cut in small pieces of 3, so each of us could try them all.
Based on the hospitality alone I would return here. The fact that the food rocks, just an extra plus.
PS: parents with ones 6 and under, totally cool play area for the kiddos!

What a wonderful restaurant. We tried their seafood paella and the Macaroni al forno, both tasted great. I love how well seasoned everything was. The waitress was very attentive and the chef came out to greet our table as well as another gentleman who was there that might have been the owner. I will definitely be back for more.
Extra points for me leaving my phone and the waitress chasing me down all the way at the car to return it.

Our meal cost about $ 65 + tax + tip. We got:
$ 20 appetizer sampler: onion rings, fried shrimp, loaded potato wedges (big), pita bread with hummus, 2 big meatballs /​/​/​so, the hummus was surprisingly good because they put lime and small diced tomatoes and green onions in it. The meat balls, which come with extra sauce naturally, were delicious but not really spicy as listed.
My wife ordered the «macoroni tower» (macoroni al forno) which was delicious and soft… think lasagna but better which was $ 13
They REALLY accomodated me because I enquired about something which wasn’t suppose to be on the menu as it was seasonal (lamb shank)… they didn’t think they had it at first but looked harder and found one. That was about $ 23. The meat was pretty good and it came with this rice which remimded me of paella rice (slightly creamy red) and this big potato cube which was basically thinly sliced potato with ricotta cheese between each slice. For anyone who loves cold potatoes and ricotta cheese it would be the bomb but I’m not a big fan… that’s not to say it wasn’t good… it’s just not the type of food I prefer. The lamb shank was big and came on a bed of the same pasta sauce that the meatballs came with (on the appetizer)
The service was great and the waiter was courteous and talkative. I honestly can’t complain about anything we ate because it was all good. It’s all a little on the pricey side but what do you expect? It’s hard to find this kind of food in Vegas that actually tastes this good.
P. S. Some interesting trivia about this building: It used to be Sushi Factory, then the building was split in half and a wall separated it into 2 buildings. When you walk in, look towards your right and see the big wall with the big painted logo «Bön Chef Café», that wall wasn’t there before. THEY HAVE FREE Wi-​fi too!

I really wish I could give this place more. I had really high hopes. Unfortunately there were too many things which needed improvement.
We walked into the restaurant around 2pm. At that time there were only a few others seated and eating already. I will say that this was a quaint little place with a quick and friendly staff.
So to begin our journey… We wanted to try the Buffalo Wings since those are my husbands favorite food. After the waiter brought our drinks we ordered those as we were still deciding on our lunch to order. Shortly after we placed our lunch order. I went with the Club with soup instead of fries. My husband ordered the Cajun Chicken Sandwich. In a little bit my tomato basil soup was brought out before the meal (not with my sandwich). We thought this was strange that we hadn’t got our wings yet. Hmm… But I was giving them the benefit of the doubt thinking the soup was already prepared and the wings needed a little more time. The soup was luke warm at best. It did have a good flavor but would have been better hot as intended.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock… About 35 minutes passed before our sandwiches were brought out. With no other meals being prepared except ours, I was surprised it took this long to bring us our meal. I will say my sandwich was stacked with the meat. I wasn’t going to complain about that. But does it really take that long to put together a deli style sandwich? My husbands cajun chicken was just ok. (I had a little taste). And still no chicken wings. Oh well.
Like I said, I really wanted them to be a 5 star review but I just can’t do it with our dining experience. I know there are Unilocalers out there that love this place. Maybe I’ll have to try it for breakfast one of these days.

FILLING AND MOST SATISFYING
When we drove up to this place I had no idea what to expect. The actual layout of the restaurant and its openness confused my restaurant instincts. We were free to pick our own table. Once we were seated we noticed the Lunch Special card and the server had to go and find out that it was only available during the weekday.
The selections to their menu is a little bit of Italian and a little bit Middle Eastern, making it what I suppose Mediterranean. I settled for Macaroni el Forno and Yu-​go chauffeur selected Chicken Shawarma with fries extra crispy.
When my piping hot dish of Macaroni el Forno arrived it undoubtedly reminded me of my favorite Greek dish Pasticcio. Actually it tasted very much like Pasticcio. Yu-go’s Chicken Shawarma was served on top of a creased pocket bread flanked with his crispy fries on one side and a salad on the other side.
It’s the only independent restaurant that caters to children with a designated play area. The restaurant is airy and very simple with plenty of natural lighting. The Mediterranean Menu is designed to take care of the working man’s appetite without breaking the bank.
I look forward to my next visit to host a UHE «Unofficial Henderson Event».

I had lunch at Bön Chef Café on a Friday around 12:45. There were only about 5 tables seated, so service was very quick. One of the soups of the day was clam chowder, which the server spoke highly of, but I had to try the lobster bisque with the crust baked on top, as many Unilocalers noted it’s fantastic. It took over 10 minutes, but that’s understandable since it has to bake. I was not overly impressed with this dish, I would give it 3 or maybe even 2.5 stars. It had about a half dozen chunks of lobster in it. But, the crust was gooey around the side of the bowl where it came in contact with the soup. This made it difficult to eat, you had to use your spoon as a knife in spots. And, it was HOT. Incredibly hot when it was brought out, and it hardly cooled throughout the meal. Even at the end it had barely cooled enough to the point I could take a bite without blowing on it. It had a nice broth to it and good flavor, but the temperature and gooey crust were hard to overcome.
The chicken quesadilla, on the other hand, was just about perfect. It was a large serving, 4 good size pieces. It comes with sour cream, quac, and pico. I wish they sold the pico, it was perfect. It was chunky, but the pieces of tomato and onion were VERY small. The person that chopped the veggies is very talented, or the machine they used somehow didn’t pulverize them. The quesadillas had a nice crust on them, and the cheese was melted nicely. They are packed with filling. Definitely will order this again.
There is a small play area for kids that I saw some families enjoying, so that’s nice if you have young children with you.
Looks like they have a nice tapas happy hour on weekday afternoons. I’ll give it a shot some day…

The chef and management treated us well but the portion size ohhemmgee. Portion size for the price makes me love this place. Not only portion size makes me happy but the food is delicious!
I ordered a lamb shank special and it was so tender and delicious. The only minor hiccup I had was the rice was supposed to be a risotto but I had dry stale rice, no one brought it up to me until I asked about it and Chef apologized. Said I can come back and he’ll make it.
I also had their dessert and the twist they put into the bahklava actually works, although I don’t taste as much of the butter as in a tradition bahklava. It’s so hard not to stop here when I pass it to go to Bread and Butter, arghh. The also haz alcohol so when you come here, know you can drink and eat. There’s also a kids play area too if you’re a mom/​dad or babysitting.

I came here with fellow Unilocalers last Tuesday and was so pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. I have heard quite a lot of good things about this restaurant and researched the menu like crazy before I arrived.
The restaurant was extremely accommodating for our large party. They made sure our table was assembled in a timely manner and service was incredibly attentive and friendly. I ordered the macaroni el forno. A Mediterranean version of lasagna using rigatoni instead of lasagna noodles and the added touch of bechamel sauce. This dish was amazing. Great sauce and all the ground beef was moist and flavorful.
Everyone else’s dishes looked amazing as well. My table mates tried the schwarma and rotisserie chicken and both were dishes I would be interested in trying next time. They smelled absolutely delicious.
They have some excellent happy hour specials that end at 6, so we just missed the cut off but I’ll definitely be back to check them out next time.

Finally had the chance to eat here with Duchess Shirley B. I’d been looking forward to dining here because I’ve only heard good things from other Unilocalers. We arrived on a Tuesday night at 6:45pm and the place wasn’t busy at all; I think there were two other parties there when we walked in. Our party of five was greeted warmly by the staff and Chef Ash came over to hug the duchess as well as welcome the rest of us.
We had:
hummus with pita chips x2
baked lobster bisque x 2
tilapia
chicken marsala
crêpe de crevettes (sauteed shrimp and mushrooms in lemon butter cream sauce wrapped in crepes) x 2
I thought the crêpe de crevettes dish was delicious, especially since I don’t eat butter cream sauce very often. I also had the baked lobster bisque, which I was looking forward to the most. However, I thought it was quite salty, so I was a bit disappointed, but the pastry on top was very good. The hummus was also great and our server kept replenishing us with fresh pita chips, which weren’t really chips, but sliced pita bread – not crunchy.
At the end of the meal, Chef Ash himself brought us complimentary dessert: baklava, my favorite! 5 stars right there. Thankfully, everyone was so full that I got 1.5 pieces; I was also full, but you can’t let good baklava go to waste. I look forward to more visits as there are many good-​looking menu items still to try. Five stars for me is always great food and great service and Bön Chef fit the bill. It’s even better when that experience is shared with great friends; we’ll be back.

My overall experience with Bön Chef Café is this… Bang For Your Buck!!!
I had my chance to eat here when they first opened and sometime before Valentines, but circumstances beyond my control prevented me. Then I saw that the Duchess of Bön Chef aka Shirley B was holding her first UYE here. I’m a fan of UYE’s and an even bigger fan of Shirley B. I wanted to show my support for her first UYE, but knew I was going to be out of town that day. Sorry Shirley B!
All was not lost though. Coincidentally, Terri R brought up that we need to try Bön Chef before we start to get serious with our training. I was thinking the same thing. And you know what would make dinner at Bön Chef even better… that’s dinner with Shirley B herself. So it’s on!!! Terri R contacted Shirley B, I contacted Ian A, and my other favorite twin Alicia R also made the dinner. Just from the line up, I already knew a great meal was ahead of us. We arrived at the same time and was greeted with open arms from Chef Ash and Team Bön Chef. Chef Ash noticed that we had Shirley with us and stated «Tonight, you will be treated like Kings and Queens». All this special treatment just because we had the Duchess with us. First impression…5 stars Homie. And by the way, I’m the Duke of In-​N-​Out in case you wanted to know.
Now let’s take a look at the menu. First review off the menu was immediate delight. Everything on the menu was decently price, okay it was cheap. Everyone got something different, but we all shared the pita and hummus. This was so addicting that even with two orders on the table, an extra order was made. I ended up getting their Tilapia a la francaise, which is their tilapia filet, egg battered in lemon and white wine sauce. Not what you’re thinking with this one. They hooked this bad boy up. The dish came with rice, some greens that I never eat, and 3 well portioned filets of tilapia. This was so deliciously made, flaky, and was complimented perfectly with their egg battered lemon/​wine sauce. About 10 oz of great tasting tilapia for less than $ 12 is a steal. Obviously, I was not disappointed with my first visit to Bön Chef Café.
Once our meal as done and the bill was paid, Chef Ash brought over some complimentary Baklava for dessert. I guess when you dine with the Duchess, you truly are treated like Kings. Thank you Chef Ash. Thank you Shirley B.
PS: Read the reviews. Great service is given to everyone here. You don’t need to have the Duchess with you for a superb experience. But it sure doesn’t hurt.
Question for Shirley B: Who’s got it better than us???
Tilapia a la francaise:
Baklava:

It absolutely breaks my heart to write this review. After reading all the wonderful reviews, I really wanted dine here. I love and support local business and was so excited. I was absolutely disappointed with my experience here.
The restaurant itself is adorable. It is cozy, allows a lot of natural lighting, and quaintly decorated. I was so excited to be there.
The service was absolutely subpar. Our server (I never got her name because she never introduced herself to us) was very impersonal. Neither of us once got the feeling we were welcomed there or that our patronage was appreciated.
After reading rave reviews about the baked lobster bisque topped with a puff pastry, I was so excited to try it. I was told there would be a 15 minute wait for it, but good things come to those who wait, right? My friend ordered the steak pyramid.
We drank all our water and our glasses remained empty until the time we got our food. So, for over 15 minutes we waited with no water to drink while there was only one other couple in the restaurant. I overheard the other couple trying to order an alcoholic beverage. The server seemed perplexed as to their own drink menu and the gentleman had to point out on the drink menu what he wanted to order.
When our food finally arrived, I still had high hopes. Here was an opportunity for recovery. Unfortunately, everything fell flat. The puff pasty is messy when you break it into the soup. The flakes kind of fall everywhere. This wouldn’t be a problem, but the soup is served in a little bowl on a little saucer, so pastry flakes went all over the table. Even my friend’s plate seemed too small for his dish and rice (even though he ordered fries) fell on the table. And I swear neither of us are messy eaters.
We brought to their attention the error in my friend’s order and that was remedied, but it felt like we bothered them to get the side we had ordered in the first place.
The lobster bisque was just disappointing. When I think of lobster bisque, I think of creamy, orangey soup with thick chunks of delicious lobster in it. This bisque was liquidy, greyish orange (there were visible oil beads separated from the rest of the base floating on the surface) with 3 small pieces of lobster in it. I couldn’t bring myself to eat the whole thing.
The steak pyramid was just okay. There were only 3 small pieces of actual steak in the tall pyramid that we determined was primarily made of onion rings. My friend asked for it medium rare. It was definitely medium well. It looked nothing like the other Unilocal pictures. Another disappointment.
We were both obviously done dinning for awhile and sat in sheer disappointment as we waited over 10 minutes for our bill. I still have no idea what our server was doing because as I stated, there were only 2 couples in the restaurant.
As a small business, it is imperative to be proactive in customer satisfaction. I know the owners actually read these reviews as I see recovery responses to the negative reviews on here. But if your employees actually paid attention to your customers while they were at the restaurant, it would never get to this point.
The service absolutely needs refinement. I am not expecting to be catered to, but I expect to be treated with respect and as though I am appreciated as a customer. Never once did our server «talk» to us or even ask how we were doing. And the food was not very good either. I am so disappointed, I will not be back and would never recommend anyone to dine here.

This place is new and a MUST TRY PLACE. It has only been open for about 4 months, but the French style cooking takes it over the top. Not only that, I would say the Chef here, Ash is probably one of the best in Las Vegas…
Everything is made fresh to order and the matzo ball soup, very close to being better then my moms (hope she is not on Unilocal). Don“t let the name fool you, Café, it is not fast food.
Loving tender care is really put into every dish here. We have been here twice and on the second visit, the Chef came out and talked to us. The quality of the food is TOP quality otherwise it is not used here. Deserts are made in house daily. And of all the places I have ever been in, and there has been many that I have gotten to know the owners, or the chef would come out and chat a little, but this place is the ONLY place the Chef has ever said, «I am willing to take any customer who wants to see my clean my kitchen is, anytime». Really??? Obviously this place is run by people who care about the customers and the food.
On my first visit i had the Steak Tower and it was really good. The second time, I had the wings which were just ok… they were good tasting but in my opinion very small. The soup as I said was awesome, served in a small pot right off the stope.
I also had the falafel plate and it was really good. My wife had Coq au vin which was on the special“s and it was very good. This last time she had the Tomato Basil soup which was excellent, my daughter had the Lobster Bisque soup which was some of the freshest and I have ever seen. It was very rich in the French tradition. My wife has the grilled chicken which is grilled from fresh, so expect to wait, but it is worth waiting for with a mesquite taste that is out of this world. My daughter had the macaroni which is made as pasta with beef with cheese over it and it was really very good.
Lastly, the Prices, I cannot end this without mentioning the prices here… you will find a more reasonable meal in this town then here at this place and the caliber of the food (quality) and care put into the food, this place is a MUST FOR EVERYONE to try…

After reading some reviews, we decided to come here for the 7 course chef’s tasting menu, the Valentine’s special. It was $ 25 per person.
The tasting menu included:
–Fruit Sangria: The best fruit sangria I have tasted, even better than Firefly!
–Caprese-​Good. Earl who hates fresh tomato, ate his.
–Lobster Bisque: So awesome that we are coming back just for the bisque!
–Lemon Sorbet: Out of lemon so we had the lime sorbet. The sorbet was different because the bottom later of the small scoop of sorbet was frozen whipped cream. Great palate cleanser.
–Shrimp Scampi: the slice of baguette that came with this is so tasty… and the shrimp, was a jumbo shrimp and was perfectly cooked.
–Chicken Florentine: I am not a fan of this type of food, so I really shouldn’t comment. I got nothing to compare it to.
–Steak Pyramid: Sirloin but gosh, so tender!
–Cheese Cake and Strawberry Chocolate Dip: that’s what we got.
This establishment is very family oriented. The staff are friendly and attentive. I really hope Bön Chef will continue to have these types of tasting because it is definitely a great way for guests to taste the different items that Bön Chef has to offer and return for that favorite dish.
We are fans and will come back for the delicious Lobster Bisque.

Easy 5 star review! Food flavor, presentation, setting, and hospitality!
Thank you Chef Ash and the rest of the staff at Bön Chef for an amazing night!
We went with the 7 course chef’s tasting menu, and it packed a punch!
Chef noticed that my one year old was eating everything Daddy was being served, so he brought out some specially made goodies, just for him! Outstanding! They also have a play area that has tons of cars and other toys for the kids to have fun! This is a very kids friendly restaurant, with excellent food!
The highlights of the night were the lobster bisque, which was the best I’ve had. Most of the time, lobster bisque tastes too creamy and «cheesy» for my taste. The first bite of the sauce was immediately «LOBSTER»! And the little baked pastry had a nice chunk of lobster hiding in it! Awesome and fun surprise! I would definitely order the full size next time I am here.
My other favorite of the night was the steak pyramid, which this is only a miniature version of… They said they marinate the meat overnight so it gets all the flavors and goodies to absorb inside the meat, and then they cook it with love! Super yummy, and I would definitely recommend it! Probably the biggest reason besides the hospitality that I will be back!
Other goodies like the chicken florentine, Shrimp Scampi in lemon butter sauce, and Chocolate Dipped Strawberries & Petite Fours and Truffles all get honorable mentions! Especially the petite fours… super rich and yummy!
We felt very welcomed, with everyone checking on our dinner, the staff interacting and playing with my little guy, them preparing special goodies just for him, and being able to talk directly to Chef Ash and learning about the love and quality of food put into play, having him proudly showing us the kitchen and really seeing the passion involved for him in his environment… it was very nice and appreciated :)
The food and service here are worth the drive all the way over by St Rose/​Eastern (45min for me), but the prices are stupid cheap right now. We had this 7 course chef’s tasting menu for $ 25 a person… and this included a glass of the best sangria I’ve had. Plenty of wine choices for $ 20 – 25 per bottle as well!
Maybe it is just because they are only a few months old and trying to get the name out, but as it sits right now, this is THE BEST «bang for your buck» dinner in town!
Give it a go!

A great neighborhood restaurant. I just wish it were my ‘hood! When we walked in, we immediately smelled evidence of a grill. We were told it was mesquite wood. The space is casual and family-​friendly. (I had to resist the call of Tinkerbell to join her in the play area set aside for the little ones.)
Everything is very reasonably priced, and the service was great. I ended up ordered the grilled falafel. Two notable facts about the falafel: They are fava. And, yes, they are grilled. I will say that I do prefer fried, but the grilled were great and made me feel a bit better about myself I suppose. For $ 5.99 (I think), it is probably one of the most affordable dinners you could enjoy at a non-​fast food spot, and here you can wash it down with a glass of affordable wine!
They have a big menu, so you should be able to find something for everyone, and they feature special menus for special occasions, like Valentine’s.

Wafts of Mesquite wood as you walk in… food clearly made with love and good technique! The staff was super nice and welcoming, too.
The green-​lipped Mussels were of very good quality, and I enjoyed my Falafel wrap which came with a small bonus salad. A satisfying meal, and I look forward to coming back for more!

Came here for a late lunch after 1:30 pm this past Wednesday with my husband. When we first came in, we were immediately greeted by someone and seated. We were asked several times if we wanted something to drink besides water and we said we only wanted to have water (guess they really want to push for something else…).
Anyways, this is what we ordered:
Seafood Paella (
): Wow, amazingly flavorful and delicious! This came in a small sauce pot with a copper bottom and a bowl to put shells in. The rice was very delicious and soaked up the sauce used to make this dish. The seafood itself used in this dish was also very good and flavorful. Although this dish is a bit pricey, I would definitely order this again. The portion of this dish is also perfect for sharing with a 2^nd person (not that you may want to since it’s so good).
Bön Chef Salad (
): This is actually what I wanted, so it was perfect. I love that this salad was made with the healthier spring mix instead of the cheap iceberg lettuce. So the price for this salad (I believe $ 8.75) was very fair and reasonable. Although there were some wilted salad leaves in my meal, it was still just fine (just pick them out). Anyways, this salad normally comes with feta cheese but I requested that it be omitted since I am not a fan of it. I also was able to get my dressing on the side. The dressing I had was delicious (raspberry vinaigrette, creamy not an oil base). Really nice and light and lightly sweetened.
Overall, our meal was wonderful but the service was quite slow. We were only the 2^nd table in the restaurant, so I am not exactly sure why the slowness. And the other table that was there seemed to be friends or family of one of the owners of the restaurant. The service we did receive thought was quite friendly (although slow).
What I really love about this place is that there is free (quick) wifi (not password protected). Also there is a cute little kid area for kids to play in before or after their meal. Also just to let you know that there is plenty of small tables in this place and the ladies’ restroom is nice and clean. There is also plenty of parking spots in the plaza it’s located in. Oh and breakfast is served all day.

Looking to have salad for lunch is how I found this place! The photo on Unilocal of their Caprese salad was tempting me, browsed through other pictures, everything looked visually appealing as well. So made the decision to have lunch here and Im very happy I did!
The food Ive tried so far rocks! Caprese Salad and their Beef Kebabs was my order.
Caprese Salad — Layered with fresh mozz, grilled eggplant and ripe tomatoes and sprinkled with basil. Loved it. The cheese was fresh, creamy and tender. Real simple salad but delish!
Beef Kebabs — There was an option for beef kebabs as a wrap or combo plate with veggies and ricel pilaf. I chose the combo of healthy proteins, starches and veggies. Beef kebabs were nice thick chunky cuts of nicely seasoned beef that are fired grilled. It also came with a Tahini sauce that was made from scratch for dipping. Loved it! The portion sizes are average and fit the prices they charge which is moderate. Both dishes I had were under $ 10 each. Which is pretty affordable for the specialties they offer here.
Ambiance/​Service — Delightful describes my dining experience! It’s a relaxed feel where Frank Sinatra and 40’s tunes are piped in. Cherry-​wood tables and chairs. Natural light filters in through the floor to ceiling windows that surround the place. Love the hand painted wall art. How sweet and thoughtful they have a little area dedicated for the little ones to dine/​play too, so moms (and or dads) can relax and unwind a bit with a glass of wine.
It’s a family owned business. The host/​server that initially seated me was at the end of her shift, so Albert and Tony took over and did a great job! I also had the pleasure to meet the Chef Ash and the Bön Chef Café crew. All take great pride at what they do and they do it very well! I cant wait go back to try the Baked Lobster Bisque that’s topped off with a puff pastry. I know Im in for a culinary treat when I dine here!
