B'un

I really love this place. I have been back twice, once for lunch and another time for dinner. The food is great, I'm not really familiar with vietnamese food so I didn't know what to expect, but was more than pleasantly surprised, it was amazing. The signature shrimp dish was unbeleivable, and the deserts fantastic. One of the owners, Tony, intorduced himself to my boyfriend and was extremely warm and friendly. I will without a doubt be going back soon.

went to Bun last week to try it out with some girlfriends. I didn't know that it was tapas style until i got there, but then i got to try so many different dishes it really worked out well. i had the quail (for the first time YUMMY), the lab skewers (meat slid off the bone) and the chicken pho (had an egg in it!!) and the wild boar sausages. All i can say is HECK YES and YUM. I have never had Vietnamese food before and i loved it. The bill was $60 per person and that included wine. all in all great new place.

They do charge a lot for the small portion of food (especially in terms of Vietnamese). From my experience, any tapa style asian food is simply not worth it. You might call it "fushion", but I would rather have an authentic full-size meal instead. We ordered the lamb rolls, tiger shrimps (4 little pieces per order), mussels, two tiny b'un (one with beef and one with veggies), 2 desserts and 2 glasses of wine. I would not tell you the price in here but let's say it was enough to have a nice steak for two at Peter Luger with drinks or appetizers. Even though I like elegant food, this is not the type of place that I would go back.

My girlfriend and I decided to pop in tonight and give the new place a try. Oh my god what a find - delicious! Our meal began with moist spare ribs wrapped around lemon grass sticks - excellent. Next we received a sizzling plate of King Crab/Pork spring rolls that came with fresh lettuce and mint and an order of Duck Rolls (with slices of apple inside). Just when we though it couldn't get any better along came the Tiger Shrimp in a delicious spicy broth - some of the best I've ever had. To finish we devoured a 'bun' of noodles, herbs, and juicy rare pieces of beef - mmmmmmm. All of the food was fresh and non-greasy. We can't wait to go back....

One of the best meals I've had on every level.. great food, very friendly and helpful service, reasonable prices and pleasant ambience. 5 / 5
