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.

We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend

We always enjoy dinners here. Six of us enjoyed a variety of entrees and mains and we all left full all for just over $200 which for 6 adults is amazing and hard to find. Staff are always lovely as well

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)!
