Sesame chicken
Kristen W.

This was such a fun find while we were out here at the car dealerships! The inside is super cute with tables, booth style seating, and high tops. There's even games on a shelf when you walk in. We've never been, so we weren't sure whether to sit at a table or to order at the tablets up front first. We ended up ordering at the tablets and taking an order number to a table. We went after the lunch rush around 2:45 pm so it was pretty dead inside except for constant to go orders. We ordered a ton of food just to see what we like here! We got a bbq pork bun, soup dumplings (pork), and crab rangoons for an appetizer. The soup dumplings and the sweet soy dumpling sauce they came with were incredible. 10/10, so flavorful, and they were served in a steamer dish so they stayed hot. The pork bun was good and the rangoons were okay, but you have to pay extra for sweet and sour sauce for them. I could live withou We got the pho, shrimp lo mein, and sesame chicken with white rice for entrees. The sesame chicken blew us away. It was piping hot yet super crispy in a delicious sauce. That was my favorite dish. The lo mein was also pretty good! The pho was my least favorite. The broth wasn't flavorful at all and there was sriracha available to add but not hoisin. I will say it had a good amount of meat in it, but I wouldn't order it again. Service was incredible! We were given awesome table service even though there's a little walk up area to refill drinks - it was done for us! We will be back for the soup dumplings and more chicken dishes for sure.

Yelp doesn't show previous review any more? Well, this is my third updated review for Bonbon Cafe. It's been a few year and it was nice to be back to this cute little Asian fusion place. I was happy to see MANY new items on the menu. Can't try them all on this trip, but here's what I sampled: Cheese Steak Rolls $5.95 . Comes with 2 rolls. Don't let the picture fool you. I was very disappointed with the size. They are like those skinny spring rolls (vs fat egg rolls) except they put meat and a little bit of cheese in them. Super hot and crispy. Taste isn't bad. But really should be bigger, or serve with quantity of 3. Not a fan here. Spicy Dry Noodle $6.95. Another new item but a dish I'm very familiar with. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Sesame paste with garlic and scallion. Not spicy, but I am not sure it is supposed to be spicy except for the name sake. Don't be fooled by its simpleness; both the taste and the texture of the pasta are super addicting. Highly recommend. Karaage Chicken $7.25. This was the dish that introduced me to Bonbon Cafe 7 years ago. I can't believe the price is still so affordable after all these years. Huge plate of boneless Japanese fried chicken thigh meat. Very good except the meat was a bit too tough. Oh, and they took out the signature bonito flakes which would make this dish come alive. Overall, it's still got the X factor, offering many dishes that are not so easy to get in this area, all under one roof. PS. They've upped their service - you don't have to bus your plates any more. So tip accordingly!!

I order delivery from here for dinner. I was craving some thing unique. I ordered the udon noodles, which might be my new favorite thing! It was yummy and juicey. It had just the littlest kick and I couldn't stop eating! I also treated myself to a Thai tea with boba and coffee! Very yummy. I got a small but it is big enough for me to save the rest for the next morning (it is so good I couldn't let it go to waste).

Excellent service, the food is always done on time and is tasty. They occasionally add new things to their menu incase you like to switch things up. A calm ambiance to sit and eat with others or by yourself. Naomi always remembers how many sauces I want and what kind. She's kind and has great customer service.

Chicken & Broccoli
Eric K.

Decided to give this venue a try for lunch - it was after the normal lunch rush, so I had no wait to get served. I quickly found out I was to order at the counter, but there was a server to bring it to the table. I ordered Chicken & Broccoli along with a Spring Roll - wait time was reasonable. On to the taste - very good ...definitely above average! Atmosphere is not super fancy, but is nice - will be back to try more items from the menu...

They forgot our spring rolls but the food was amazing! My friend picked up the food so I didn't see if the service was good but I've been there before and the ambiance was cozy and cute

Curry fried rice
Andrew L.

We were visiting the area and decided to try this place. They have variety of Asain cuisine including Chinese and Thai. We ordered numerous dishes and shared all of them. We had curry fried rice, sesame chicken, pad thai, and Buddhist delight. No complaints concerning the food as it was all good. You order the food in the front or at the kiosk and they bring them to you. All utensils are all on the table so they don't wait on you which I prefer. You do have to check out the dessert menu too. They have ice cream with small asian pancake and variety of boba teas. Overall, one of the best Asian fast food in the area.

Thai bubble tea

I went in one day after driving past it for so long. It smelled amazing in there, it wasn't busy but it was a little slow. It was worth it though, the food was amazing! The sesame balls were slightly sweet with a savory note from the seeds, the custard steamed buns were absolute HEAVEN!! And those soy garlic chicken wings.. let's just say next time I won't get JUST 5 LOL. I will definitely come back here again, I think I found my new favorite place along this strip :)

Food - food was very good I ordered the General Tao, chicken Lo mien and crab Rangoon's. The food was hot and fresh and you have to order at the cash register. Service - over all service was ok, only thing that pissed me off and I would have walked out if my wife wasn't with me I would have, I was in the process of ordering our dinner and the lady that was taking our order stoped and answered the phone to take another order that pisses me off so bad she didn't even apologize or anything . I can't say I'll be back.

All breading. Zero meat!
John B.

When we first ate here the food and service was amazing! It became a local favorite of ours. Crispy general tsos, brown rice to die for, and some really good soups. Then covid hit and everything got shut down. The other night we saw that it was open for take out and delivery. Wow what a difference a few years make. The food now tastes completely microwaved and mushy. Like the kind of food you'd find at a Panda Express chain. The General Tsos should now be called general batter because I'm not sure there's any meat to be found in here. In fact a few bites were all breading. The soup too was mushy and mediocre. A far cry from days gone by. Really disappointing.

First time going here and it was so good! Highly recommend. Portions and pricing is really good for what you get. I got my order to go and it took about 10-12 minutes at most for 3 meals (not all pictured). The Pad Thai with chicken is one of the best I've had and my friend loves going here. First time have a bubble waffle and now I will have to continue getting them! For my pad Thai, kid's sweet and sour chicken and a garlic chicken entree it came out to $37.88 which I think is really good! I couldn't stop myself from finishing my pad Thai and I was full for the rest of the night. Plus the place is pretty cute and really clean.

Came here for dessert and some drinks on a Sunday afternoon. It was mostly clean, with a rustic vibe. I had the bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, oreo cookies and MnM's drizzled with chocolate. It was just okay--I like a real "waffle" flavor, like you get with a Belgian waffle and this just didn't have it. Just a note--they only carry chocolate and vanilla ice cream, so if your looking for other flavors, this place isn't for you. I also ordered the Passion Fruit tea with peach "bubbles" and it was very good. Friends also enjoyed their milk teas but didn't think the shaved ice was great. One of them said it had the texture that old ice cream gets after sitting in the freezer for too long. Regardless, we saw many other menu items that we'd like to try. I would return for the drinks alone. During our entire stay (at least an hour) one table a few down from us stayed dirty with dishes, etc. It wasn't very busy at the time and there seemed to be enough employees to be able to take care of this. I'm sure it was an oversight, but it was still a turnoff nonetheless. Cleanliness in a restaurant is important to me!

Whilst returning home from an event in Harrisburg, I found myself hungry and in the mood to eat…read more Happily, Takashi was a mere 0.1 miles away, so I made the turn in and backed into my spot. There were probably 8 to 10 spots out front in their parking lot as well as street parking. Upon entering I was immediately greeted, seated, and handed a menu.(pictures included). There was a large selection of sushi, however I decided upon the salmon teriyaki. I chose a diet cola as my beverage, not being in the mood for hot or sweet tea, etc. My order arrived on a sizzling platter within 10 minutes. On the table was soy sauce and low sodium soy sauce which was what I used on my white rice. The salmon was accompanied with onions, sliced carrots, and broccoli, and everything was delicious (Photo included in my accompanying pics). The restaurant was clean, reasonably quiet, not excessively busy during my time there, and with an active take out service in action. The photo of my tab is includes. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with great service and food!

This is a charming spot that's off the main road. The dining room is small and fills up fast…read more Service was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The dining room is spotlessly cleaned and organized. I would have liked to see more cooked rolls on their menu as I am not a huge sushi fan, but the rolls I ate were meticulously constructed, fresh and delicious.

Tried their sister restaurant, Kanagawa in Mechanicsburg for lunch with my wife today. After…read morehearing Akitas is owned by the same people and it's in Lemoyne, so a little closer to home, I brought the whole family back for dinner. Just like Kanagawa, this place is excellent and now the second good place for sushi we've finally found - after a year of trying places. For apps we had shrimp shumai dumplings and vegetable egg rolls (spring rolls). Tasty and quickly gone. With three kids and two adults, it only made sense to go for the party boat. It came with 4x soups or salads, 6x pieces of sashimi (we had 2x each tuna, salmon, and whitetail), 6x pieces of nigiri (2x each tuna, salmon, and red snapper), and 4x specialty rolls of our choice. The nigiri and sashimi disappeared first, and even my youngest ate more fish than she ever has. She usually just gets the cucumber roll, and did again tonight, but tried a lot of the fish because it was so good. The fish was all tender and delicious. We had 2x Terry Rolls (wife had one for lunch and liked it so much she got it again and talked one daughter into it also), one Queen Roll, and one Crazy Roll. All super tasty and eaten up. Finished off with one green tea ice cream and the fried cheesecake. Kids declared the ice cream the best they've had, and after reluctantly taking one bite of the cheesecake, they all tore into that as well. The only downside here is the prices are a bit higher than at Kanagawa, and some sushi with the same name at both places look like they actually have slightly different ingredients between the two restaurants. So just because you love a certain roll at one, you led better double check before ordering the same at the other. Otherwise, food was fantastic, service was great, and the restaurant was beautiful. Kids were super happy to have finally found good sushi again. Whoever owns these joints - thanks for two great sushi meals in the same day, and a happy family.

Went here last night with friends. For appetizers we had calamari and mussels, for the main dish I…read morehad the salmon hibachi with vegetables. The calamari was tasty, not rubbery, the mussels had a different flavor, very good! The main dish came out hot and the salmon was very good. The service was fast and friendly.
