We're back! Bonbon Cafe still makes one of the best Black Bean Sauces in the area! The counter person is always helpful when we order because sometimes the ordering system can be a bit wonky when you're trying to figure out what you want! (Blame the machine not the Wonky user ) Any way ordered a favorite Chicken with Black Bean Sauces it's loaded with vegetables and brown rice. My wife ordered the Hunan Vegetable w/ Shrimp it comes with vegetables and a Spicy Black Bean sauce! She loved the kick it offered! Bonbon is a relaxed setting where you can actually sit enjoy your meal and hold a conversation! read more

Kinda off the beaten path, but great food and speedy service. Walk in, take a seat in the big dinning area and scan the QR code to pull up the menu. If you like you can order and pay right from your seat or you can walk up to the counter and order. We had the crispy tofu for an appetizer which was absolutely delicious. Crispy outside and perfectly seasoned tofu. For our main dishes we had the chicken general tao & chicken in garlic sauce. The general tao was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The chicken was crispy and so good! The chicken in garlic sauce was okay, but probably wouldn't order again because it wasn't spicy and I've had better other places. I had the black sugar boba tea (oat milk) which is by far the best boba I've ever had!! It was so flavorful and creamy. I would definitely come back for just the boba and maybe the crispy tofu! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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). read more

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. read more

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... read more

I had read the ads and I thought because it was new to us, we'd try the cuisine. We were brought a Miso soup which good. We started with the Crispy Calamari with two sauces which was pretty tolerable. We shared a TNT roll which we requested Eel Sauce versus a Siracha; it was okay, but I've had better. We ordered shrimp and squid Hibachi dish but was informed they had no squid which I found odd because we just had their Calamari, 'oh well' as Walter would say. Just shrimp was our fall back on. The fried rice which was part of the combo was a little lacking in flavor. The Hibachi Shrimp was tolerable. We were a little disappointed after all the hype, but one more time that's okay. read more

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 read more

Amazing food for Chinese food. Has great flavors of food ranging from spicy to non-spicy variations. Loved their Singapore rice noodles, the firecracker chicken and the egg rolls. To top it off, we ended it with a Bubble waffle sundae. This was very unique & tasted very good, tried it for the 1st time. Loved ghe combination of hot & cold. The service was also very quick. read more

I come to BonBon cafe specifically for their boba. I have not had their food. They have bubble waffles with ice cream available here and bing soo! I like getting boba/bubble tea from here because they are consistent with the texture and flavor of their boba. The boba is not too tough and has the right amount of sweetness to the boba. They have good flavored milk teas and fruit teas. The teas are also a good texture and the milk teas are well mixed and not powdery. read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

The egg rolls where fried dough with about 25 percent content, 75 percent wrapping. Pad Thai was excellent first time and not as good the 2nd time. Please stop using toxic black plastic and BPA plastics in general of any color. read more

Amazing Food very tasty and cook to perfection! We order all the time and excited to try more!

Amazing food and take out is very efficient. Must try the bubble waffle and ice cream! Hot Pot dish is amazing! read more

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. read more

I recently came back to Bonbon Cafe to try its food out. I have always had bubble tea here and they were good. This time i tried their food and it was very delicious. I had crispy tofu, chicken curry, and orange chicken. Unlike other takeout Chinese restaurant where food sometimes could taste greasy and stale, the dishes that i had at BonBon were fresh, flavorful, and cames in good portion. Not to mention, their price is reasonable (average $11/ dish) read more

I was a little disappointed. The Mongolian Beef was 70% onions and 30% beef. We showed it to the waitress, and she said you should have asked for broccoli instead of onions. Get outta here. The pineapple fried rice was fine, but the pineapple left something to be desired. Nothing was crispy. He Singapore noodles were fine, although dry and over salted. The place was cold during winter. I wouldn't come back. read more

Do yourself a favor and try the lo mein! We love it so much we bought a whole tray for a party! The inside is cute and clean, but haven't seen many people hanging out when I go to pick up my order. Service is good. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Found them after Covid shut down, and have not regretted it! Best chicken and broccoli, and hands down, best sweet and sour chicken! Quick service for pick-up. Always ready within 10-15 mins. They also have a great Thai Tea, and wonton soup that is packed with flavor. read more

Good Boba Tea! My only advice on the food portion of the menu is to skip the Pad Thai and choose something else from the menu. (If you want Thai food, there are better restaurant options elsewhere.) read more

Oh I'm in love with this place here! Thanks to other great yelp reviews and photos, I found another gem added to my 'must eats list' when I'm in PA. Good Chinese fusion food, flavorful shaved ice cream with delicious toppings and bubble tea drinks....man, I'm in heaven. Came here for dinner and it's located on the side of a stop store area. We ordered the chicken pad Thai, Buddha's delight with brown rice, General Taos chicken with brown rice, and kids meal of chicken lo mein comes with crab Rangoon and fountain drink. They give a glass water bottle for any diners eating in so no need to ask for water. The food orders came out quick and portion size is pretty good. My brown rice was mountain size in my rice bowl, so definitely portion is more than a cup. Everything tastes really good. My fave is the Buddha's delight which is tofu and mixed veggies in brown sauce. You can't come here without trying at least a dessert! We order a large coconut shaved ice cream with tapioca, fruit jelly and strawberries. It was definitely such a sweet treat. We will definitely come back here again and again. read more

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. read more

We had food delivered and it was excellent! We ordered for two people and the price was $82.37 with delivery fee. Chinese food use to be inexpensive but something has changed for the worse. I need to quench my Chinese food cravings occasionally but at these prices I'll choose other, more affordable options. Rice, meat and vegetables shouldn't cost this much. read more

Someone recommended this place so we tried it. Disappointed. Apparently fried rice is brown rice with nothing in it. My sesame chicken was swimming in sweet and sour sause. The pictures on here their is no sauce under the sweet or sour chicken. My husband got shrimp lo mein and only get 4 little shrimp in the whole thing. My son was the smart one and asked for burger king. read more

Pretty good food! We had pad thai and beef and it was really flavorful. The service was quick!

This is one of the best meals I have had in a long time. This place has been on my want to visit list for a long time and I am glad I stopped here instead of the chain restaurant I was going to go to. The restaurant is functional with a nice set up and books you can read. I love books so that is always a bonus. I had the hot soup and it was rich and hot. The spring roll was crispy. The Mongolian chicken was very, very, very tasty. Fresh and hot. What can you say about white rice? Even this was delicious. The main reason I came here was to try the shaved ice which I had never had. I got mango with strawberry, blueberry, and honey. WOW! Perfect ending I will definitely be back even though it is out of my way. Good job to the chef and staff. If you are an adventurous eater. Please try this place. They should be busier. read more

My wife's favorite restaurant in Mechanicsburg! She typically gets the red curry dish and just loves it. She also gets the boba tea which she enjoys as well. I always get the dry pot and it's very good if you like spicy Asian seafood fusion. Prices are reasonable and the service is pretty quick. The place might not look as polished as some restaurants but it's a hidden gem for sure. If you're considering it, go ahead and give it a try - don't think you will be disappointed. read more

The food is good but prices jumped 2.00 over a week. all lunches and over 2.00 for a large soup.

BONBON cafe is a must to eat at. I've been here twice and I don't visit it often because I live 45 mins away. They have a lounge area where you can relax & eat at. They also have games you can play in the lounge area. The food is great and I recommend bubble tea ! read more

We walked in and it was larger and darker than expected. Walk to the counter, order, get a number and sit down. The music was this depressing slow music, John Mayer love songs and such, and the tables were the stickiest I've had to deal with for a long time. Tried to wipe it down but it seems the cleaner they use is eating the gloss so it's not dirty, just.. sticky. The WiFi also didn't work but we didn't let them know, we figured it was par for experience we were having so far. The reviews were good so we were still hopeful. And let me tell you, it's worth it. The pad Thai and Kim chee pot were both delicious. Whomever the cook is has a talent for flavor. After we tried a waffle with chocolate and Mochi and mango shaved ice with double lychee and OMG they were both killer amazing. So now we're listening to some young guy dragging out the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" - it's a sad, slow, travesty - but the food and dessert is so good we wish we lived near here so we could come in and torture ourselves with these sticky tables, horrible music, and incredible food and desserts on a regular basis! read more

Its our go to thai-chinese asian place. The food tastes basic. Good thing is they are not heavy on oil like other places. Few items are a miss so you have to try out couple of items on the menu to figure out what you may like. We usually get hot and sour soup, basil fried rice and coconut noodle soup. read more

A decent Asian spot in an area without a lot of good options, they have good appetizers, decent entrees, and okay boba (though they give you a MASSIVE cup and I am very picky with boba). read more

I had high hopes but this was just not good. Whatever was fried was so over fried that it made the food hard to eat. We ordered the crab Rangoon which we could only eat the one soft bite in the middle. The orange chicken was the same, so heavily fried. I suspect this is not made in house, it's pre breaded and frozen chicken in which case the quality makes sense. Even the spring roll was pretty bad. 100% cabbage. Not a hint of carrot or anything else. The wonton soup was equally bad. Not a scallion to be found. The wonton had almost no filling so it was essentially thick dumpling dough and broth. No one came by our table to ask how things were either. Maybe they knew from my uneaten plate of food. We left it there. Never again. read more
