Bon Pho Roll - Niles

The house special PHO is pho-ntastic! I especially liked the generous serving of beef sirloin and tendon. The Cha Gio did not disappoint. It's freshly made and the dipping sauce is perfect. Got a Traditional Banhmi from their banhmi shop as well. Perfectly hot and crisp roll! Capped it off with very potent vietnamese coffee (guaranteed to keep you up well past your bedtime).

I am in awe that San Antonio Village has a lot of hidden gems that I am recently discovering one by one. My office is located in San Antonio Village Makati and I didn't expect that a lot of good restaurants are actually situated here. If you know San Antonio Village it's really an unassuming village within the boundaries of Makati and Taft, you won't even think that a restaurant would exist in this area cause it's purely residential but good thing there are few WORTH VISITING restaurants here that I keep coming back for. Fyi, there are a lot of hole in the wall vietnamese restaurants here as well btw! If you are familiar with Bon Bahn Mi's Traditional Sandwiches along Mayapis then you will find this authentic Vietnames Pho Roll Restaurant just beside the sandwich stall. The owners are vietnamese and they're usually in the store managing the place so to assure that they serve the best quality every time an order comes out of their kitchen. They serve pretty quick we only waited for about 5 to 7 min and order came out right away. The restaurant is very simple and well ventilated. The homey vibe is just the perfect ambiance to have a warm bowl of pho. BON HOUSE SPECIAL

Excellent!!! You don't go their for the decor. It is simple and clean. Nothing to distract you from the very tasty food, The Vietnamese pancake was an explosion of flavors, very delicious. It was also well filled and crispy. It was a little too oily. The beef salad and the summer rolls were perfect! Tasty, well seasoned, fresh and light on the stomach. The salad was a good balance of cucumber, beef, onion, herbs and peanuts seasoned with a light dressing. It's a must to go there. Iwill go back soon to try the rest of the menu!!!

I Am Turning Vietnamese (Volume 1) Bon Pho Roll is a hidden gem tucked between the residential streets of San Antonio. The visit was accidental. It all started with a Facebook post from my homie {uid:33144000} and the next thing i knew, i was sharing a table with him. Don 't ask me how i got there, everything is still a blur up to this minute. Let us not talk about the interior as the place is the quintessential hole in the wall joint. No fancy decor, no quirky architecture it is place where one can sit down and enjoy a bowl of Pho. I can almost imagine the reason behind the simplicity, no frills look. Let the food speak for itself. And that 's what happened. I was caught in a foodie trance. Bun Bo Hue (Hue Beef Noodles). This is a popular Vietnamese soup containing rice vermicelli and beef. The dish is greatly admired for its balance of spicy, sour, salty and sweet flavors and the predominant flavor is that of lemon grass (i got all of that from wiki) Why was i in a foodie trance? Simple.... this is a bowl full of comfort and goodness. The flavor is exactly how it was described in the wiki page. This is the kind of food I would eat if I am under the weather or if i wanted a comfort after a long day at work. And you know what is the best part? It wouldn 't burn a hole in your pocket.

Bon Pho Roll is the resto spin off by the Bon Banh Mi guys along Mayapis St. in Makati (near Osmeña Highway). My buddy Jairus had raved about this place, and I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to check this out. I 'd seen it a few months ago when I tried Bon Banh Mi but lacked the time to try it then. It 's a nice, cozy enough place. It can seat maybe 30 people, which is more than the 10 or less seating capacity by adjacent Bon Banh Mi. Good idea to expand their reach by serving a decent enough variety of Vietnamese cuisine. TIPS Must order: Fried Spring Roll (P120) served with lettuce and that sweet lightly tart vinegar concoction 4/5 Must order: Bon House Special (P250), if you like noodle soup, incredibly worth it with 4 types of beef toppings (sirloin, brisket, brisket with flank and meatball). Light broth that I already love, but you can add hoisin and spicy sauce to taste, along with mint and bean sprouts 5/5 Parking is along Mayapis or side roads so park at your own risk. Seems there 's enough during weekday lunch Alternatively, they have dry noodles with pork BBQ and spring rolls (P180) and a Hue Been Noodles that 's spicy and predominantly lemon grass tasting noodle soup, which is even cheaper vs the house special at P200, plus fresh spring roll. Yummmy. ???? Bon Pho Roll, at a Glance: Food Beverage: ???????????????????? (the Pho House Special and the Fried Spring Rolls are oh so good) ???? Service (Dine In): ???????????? (seems they lack a capable greeter type person during my visit; this is a family run place so language might be a barrier when their owners help out, but they 're super nice) Kitchen Service: ???????????????????? (fast, delish food) Ambience: ???????????? (simple, clean but lacking in decorations, aircon was weak at the back but decent in the front and middle) Value for Money: ???????????????????? (lots of meat on the Pho) OVERALL: ???????????????? ___________ Worth a try Yes Worth a return Absolutely, if Makati was my 'hood. This part of Makati (San Antonio) is getting a few holes in the wall Vietnamese offering. VERDICT: An excellent hole in the wall Vietnamese resto from the folks behind Bon Banh Mi. Worth a try if you 're looking for Vietnamese and would want it affordable but without giving up any quality.
