    BBQ pork over angel hair pasta with spring rolls and small salad. YUUUUMM
    Margo G.

    I've been enjoying the great food and service along with the pleasant atmosphere at Bobo's Cafe for many years. It's always quiet and there is consistently good food at a great price. I like #53 which is a bbq pork over angel hair pasta with a little salad on the side. Sooo good! There's a yuummy fish sauce to pour over it and the service is great. The #62 is great too. It's a pork over noodles or rice with a great sauce over it. I take this one home for dinner. I can highly recommend this wonderful place and I know you will enjoy it.

    Been to this place many many times. It is still really delicious and I am very glad it is still around. Number 53 is my favorite. Great food!

    Always the best since 1999!!! This is small town Auburn local food for 20 years. We all need to support the ones that have stayed around to allow you to experience authentic cuisine. This one happens to be Vietnamese. And it's GOOD! Today we stopped in for a to-go order of Shrimp Fresh rolls (#11) and Spicy lemon grass tofu with rice noodles (#77). These were made fresh while I waited in only a few minutes. Mai was there to greet me as she has been over the decades. Her sweet smile and kind personality is a breath of fresh air from so many chain type restaurants. This business is still family owned by the same original owners. The food was wonderful. As I said, made fresh and tasted it. Quality and quantity was perfection! Nice open dining room if you chose to eat in. Try Bobo Cafe on Palm Ave. You will not be disappointed! I promise. And tell Mai hello!

    After spying Bobo across the way from another restaurant, wanting a good lunch of Vietnamese food, and hearing a friend recommended it a few weeks ago, my group decided to check it out. And never again. We entered into an impressively large interior rife with tables lined with shiny floral table mats, paintings of fish and other animals along the walls, and a row of old "Best of..." accolades next to the entrance. Yet, it was a ghost town. A single couple was seated in a booth but no one was there to greet or seat us. For a good few minutes we stood, approached a counter where menus were placed, grabbed two for a quick read, and sat ourselves down by the window. It was after that that our waitress came to offer water, took our order, and then left as quickly as she appeared. We ordered something akin to chicken and shrimp, stir-fried with some veggies in a brown sauce, and served with white rice (no alternatives offered); as well as a vermicelli bowl of lemongrass barbecued pork with eggrolls. Now what came has to be, sadly, some of the most disappointing/simply-bad food paid for. The stir fry - glossy/reflective and swimming in a sea of sauce - was bland and tasted heavily of corn starch with shrimp that were over-cooked. The vermicelli bowl was dry and equally as bland; specifically and unfortunately the pork and noodles themselves. Even the included side of fish sauce had hardly any flavor in it; requiring the entire thing to be poured into the bowl to get a touch of that lovely fishy-yet-sweet flavor. By the time everything was said and done, we simply wanted to pay our bill and leave. While the waitress was kind in their brief appearances, we left let down by the experience.

    This is a great local spot for pho and other yummy Vietnamese food. We usually get fried rice and spring rolls for the kids and pho for ourselves. Lots of yummy veggies in the pho and very filling!

    Food sucks and disgusting. Served me cold grilled beef and side of rice with very poor presentation. The egg rolls looked pathetic. Sorry!

    Walked in from the foggy weather and ordered Home-made noodle soup. The broth had nice depth to it…read moreand enough bok coy , chicken, beef, shrimp etc. noodles was silky soft. . When I see Singapore chow mein on menu Is a plus. I love the curry spice & stir-fry noodle taste! Cordial staff- waited on me as a solo diner instantly. One thing I did notice was they didn't offer tea which is usually customary at Chinese restaurants. It's just an observation ( not a critique). Love all the original work of art on the walls. I felt like I was in someone's tasteful livingroom. Looking forward to returning after another hike in Auburn.

    FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay. Nothing was bad, just nothing to write home about.
