Bon Me

The Kendall Square outpost of this growing local empire - with storefronts, food trucks, and carts - serves an assortment of delicious Vietnamese-inspired treats. Bahn mi sandwiches are prepared with barbecue pork, grilled chicken or tofu and shitake mushrooms, stuffed into a crusty baguette with pickled carrots, daikon radishes and spicy mayonnaise. Or opt for lighter fare like a rice bowl or noodle salad, and make sure to try the insanely refreshing Thai-basil limeade.
