    Another great visit to Bar Bombón. Arrived a few minutes early to our reservation and they sat us which luckily gave us about 10 minutes to order some HH drinks!! Service was super friendly and the food was amazing, would never know it's all plant based!

    We were greeted when we walked in. Great customer service. Tindo was our waiter. He was AMAZING. The manager was also helpful. We were able to get a sticker for parking for a small discount. I was able to take advantage of the $23 meal. My fish tacos (heart of palms) were a 10/10. Everything was super good and flavorful. My ENTIRE soul was happy.

    I actually made a reservation since were visiting from out of town but arrived almost an hour early and were sat immediately. Our server, Ttendo took great care of us and gave great suggestions for items on the menu that were vegan friendly for my friend. I did not enjoy the meatballs I ordered but the way they handled the situation is why they get 5 stars!

    Tres Leches
    Felicia Y.

    We only got a tres leches cake so cannot speak on the other options here. This cake was very dense, sweet, and rich (in the best way). Super coconutty, with a generous amount of shredded coconut. I found the cake overall to be a tad too sweet with the pineapple (puree?)on top. I would get this again

    Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos

    I've been here a few times, most recently for an early dinner after work on a weekday. I made a reservation but it was pretty quiet when I arrived around 6. My server was quick to get my order which was just the buffalo cauliflower tacos which I just keep getting every time. They are spicy, decent size tacos that leave me feeling just the right amount of full. I like really the spicy buffalo flavor. I was in and out quickly and had a very pleasant time.

    Made a reservation for my friends birthday, we're from out of state and picked this place on a whim based on it being entirely planet based, and also the overall vibe felt cozy yet chic. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our server was Bryce and he was absolutely :3outstanding. We were sat timely and waited on expertly with the perfect amount of timing in between checking in on us. Our drinks were so good and we tried a couple that were out of our normal comfort zone at the suggestion of our waiter and he did not disappoint!! Every single item of food we ordered came out of the kitchen very timely, and was seemingly timed perfectly. My review would be novel length if I went into detail on every item we had- just know that every thing was absolutely divine. We couldn't shut up about the foodn the food 10 out of 10.

    Heart Hearts of Palm 'Fish' Tacos
    Rosa Z.

    My friend and I came here on a Sunday afternoon and we didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. Our server was very friendly and informative when I asked questions about what he recommended, especially since we were trying to narrow down our appetizer and entree picks. For my drink, I got a mango agua fresca. It tasted sweet and refreshing. For appetizer, we shared the philly steak empanada (two pieces - one for each). I liked the flavor of the empanadas and the meat inside was quite juicy. For the entree, my friend ordered impossible tacos and I ordered the hearts of palm 'fish' tacos. My friend and I swapped one taco each so we could try both. For the impossible tacos, they were seasoned well but they tasted very ordinary to me. Nothing special. However, I really enjoyed my hearts of palm 'fish' taco. I thought the fried hearts of palm, corn, and sauce gave a nice texture, taste and mouth feel. Last but not least, for dessert, he ordered the tres leches cake and I ordered the bittersweet chocolate pudding. The tres leches cake was dense and a little more on the sweet side. I was not a fan of my bittersweet chocolate pudding though. Since it was pudding on the menu, I thought it would have a pudding-like texture, but it almost looked like ice cream. Also, the taste of the pudding was very bad. It was grainy and reminded me of chocolate chickpea pudding. Even though I don't like to waste food, unfortunately, I could only take a few bites of the pudding and I couldn't finish the rest. Other than my dessert, I did enjoy the food and service here overall. I would come back just for the 'fish' tacos. :)

    Breakfast Tacos
    Mia M.

    Came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon with no res. They were busy but not full, and we were seated quickly. Our server was very friendly and the food came out so quickly once we ordered (probably under 5 minutes). We didn't realize it was vegan when we walked in and it isn't really advertised as such, so my friend was a little disappointed by that but we stayed anyways. I got the breakfast tacos off of the brunch menu, and my friend had the impossible tacos. They both looked pretty similar - two medium tacos covered in pico de gallo and pickled cabbage. The breakfast tacos were well seasoned didn't "taste vegan" but I don't eat much meat. My friend also thought the impossible tacos were pretty good. Overall I thought this spot was good but not amazing. I would come back if I needed a quick spot in the area, but wouldn't necessarily seek it out.

    There were some highs and lows to this place but overall a good experience. We got the meatballs since the pictures looked really good and we don't usually get the chance. When they came out, they dropped somw of the bread on the table which wasn't a big deal but they got us somw extra anyway which was nice. The meatballs and sauce were good but they were pretty cold which makes me think they either get them pre-made or make a tone and freeze them. Either way that part was a little off putting. The taste was pretty good though and went well with the fluffy bread.

    Jackfruit nachos
    Private B.

    Parking is a nightmare in the area, not just for this business. You may spend a long time looking for street metered parking. I ordered the nachos with only jackfruit, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, and avocado slices... It ended up coming with corn on it. So I just picked the corn out. It tasted okay. I wouldn't order it again. The staff were okay. They answered all of my questions. The bar sitting is not comfortable because you have to basically air in the walkway to keep your knees from hitting the bar. The table doesn't come out far enough so you have to lean a whole lot... not good for posture. I probably should take 1 star away, but the service was okay so I'm giving this place 3 stars for just okay

    Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
    Laura K.

    Great vegan food! Tried the buffalo cauliflower tacos. They were amazing and it was the perfect amount of food for lunch. Service was friendly and super quick. The restaurant is super cute and cozy. Would definitely recommend.

    Clara A.

    This was a nice vegan restaurant. The yuca was so good,but it was spicy. The tacos were also good. Same as the bacon. The staff were really nice and the food came out super fast.

    Nachos
    Paige S.

    I loved bar bombón!! It's a cozy but well decorated spot. Initially, I selected the restaurant because of its completely vegetarian / vegan friendly menu. Every dish is crafted so creatively and packed with delicious vegetables. It was a dream trying to pick a dish, since I had TOO many options for once! That's incredibly rare as a vegetarian. We settled on splitting nachos and a taco to try both dishes. Not only did the food taste exceptional, but the prices couldn't be beat. Despite being close to the end of the day, we were served quickly and with care. I'll have to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu.

    On the website this place is described as offering Puerto Rican fare with a twist. Where's the Puerto Rican food other than offering Don Q and Bacardi rums?

    Yeah, the description is kinda nonsense. It's latin-inspired things from everywhere imo. The food's good, but I never go in expecting it to be loyal to anything.

I was WOWED by the shrimp with lady fingers (okra), seamless service (reminiscent of a well-oiled machine), and an unexpectedly large interior. --- I dined as a party of two for lunch on Sunday. When we first entered, we were shocked at just how large the interior of Banana Leaf was as compared to the exterior. It is also decorated very fun inside. We ordered the mama's chicken, shrimp with lady fingers, and homemade roti canai. Just a note that the most updated menu is online instead of the photos here. (Also rice is not included with the entrées, but needs to be ordered separately.) (1) Shrimp with Lady Fingers- I would come back for just this again and again. It was not too salty, and it was very flavorful (just the right amount of fishy), and the okra was cooked just perfectly. I am a little bias as an okra fan, but I LOVED this dish. My only issue is that the shrimp wasn't deveined. (2) Homemade Roti Canai- The roti was very flaky and had an excellent texture. I guess it's no surprise that it's the biggest thing advertised on the menu. The curry was pretty standard that came with it. It was just a little strange to me that the roti canai was completely cold when it came out. (3) Mama's Chicken- The chicken was dry for us, probably as a result of the smaller pieces being fried. Overall, it was pretty OK, but we wouldn't order this again. The service was excellent- food was quick to come out & anytime we finished a dish, needed water, or needed the check, the servers were at the table before we had to say anything.

We got seated immediately and they had a variety of Malaysian items on the menu that had a little of everything and ones similar to other Asian cuisine dishes. Roti Canai - The piece of roti was huge, a big portion for 2 people which we enjoyed. The curry was light and a little sweet paired with the thin and chewy roti. Pad Thai - A very classic dish. It was mildly spicy which gave a good kick and it had the classic flavors being sour, sweet, savory and nutty at the same time. The noodles were a nice texture with the crunchier bean sprouts, the tender shrimp and chewy tofu. We also tried the Hainanese Chicken which was a bit different than what we were used to but it was still tender and soft. A solid place for dinner in the Chinatown area if you're wanting to get some different dishes.

    Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

    We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

The food quality has noticeably gone downhill over the past few months. To start, my party of four asked for a pot of hot tea. The server told us it would be $5, which is fine--especially since it was freezing outside and the restaurant itself was cold (the heat didn't seem to be on). But near the middle of the meal, I asked for a refill (literally just more hot water), and the server came back with the owner/manager and said it would be another $5. That's ridiculous. The tea is already made--charging another $5 for hot water is wild. The service didn't help either. The server was pretty stoic, and the whole interaction felt awkward, especially while I was trying to order off a QR code menu that had zero descriptions of the dishes. That lack of explanation definitely caused issues. For example, we ordered the Singapore rice noodles expecting something curry-based, but it tasted like a sweet-and-sour ketchup sauce instead. Not good--and totally avoidable if the menu actually explained what the dish was. As for the food, the roti canai was disappointing. The curry was watered down and lacked flavor compared to previous visits, though I'll give credit where it's due--the roti itself was nicely toasted. I don't know what changed, but something clearly did, and it feels like a leadership issue. Overall, this visit was really underwhelming, and I won't be coming back anytime soon unless things seriously turn around here.

The fresh smell of their noodles brings back nice childhood memories. Their food has always been great and their broth is absolutely delicious. Me and my siblings always clear the entire bowl and leave nothing behind. Their spring rolls are a MUST TRY because it's always very crispy and steaming hot when they serve it to you. The drinks are amazing especially their fruit smoothies because they use actual fresh fruits so their drinks end up having a lot of flavor.

There's always going to be a good amount of food in each of their dishes so feel free to order whatever you crave. Couple tips: Try to eat AT the place to ensure that your food is fresh and good. Take out for the most part isn't really good because your food is literally just sitting there until you get it or until you open it up and eat it. USE THEIR SAUCES!!! Or make your own sauce with the ones provided. Always makes a difference when I dip food in it or mix it with the soup. Don't be afraid to come with a big group of people. They have an upstairs seating area too but I guess if you're coming with a lot of people just let them know in advance before entering. This is Chinese owned so it's more like a casual Asian restaurant but the food is definitely worth a try because it's affordable.
