​If you are coming here because you saw the name "Bun Bo" and expected an authentic Vietnamese-inspired meal, keep walking. If you're looking for an authentic flavor profile or a hearty meal, skip the "inspiration" and head elsewhere. There are better bowls to be found. read more

This is easily the worst Vietnamese restaurant and one of the worst restaurants in general that I have ever been to. We ordered the summer rolls, spring rolls, pho, and bun bo. The taste and ingredients were way off on everything. We didn't finish any of the items. read more

Was getting cheesed out by the Spanish food and decided to look for a noodle or pho restaurant. Nothing else opened at the time so I stopped by at this restaurant. The pho was not very authentic but it felt good to have some hot soup and noodle to wash away all the fatigue and coldness. Overall I had a good time. read more

Wandering around the gothic quarter on our first night, we stopped in for an early dinner and really enjoyed it. The pho was plenty good and spicy and the "phorrito" was good enough (fell for the novelty of the trend, but had to try it at least once). Had plenty of other options on the menu and we feel like if we had more time in the city we could've seen ourselves going there again. Also, it's right next door to the lips mural so hey - grab your selfie and then head inside for some good vietnamese. Some of the bad reviews are slamming it because it's not the best Vietnamese food ever - but that feels unfair. It's a fusion restaurant in a busy tourist area, and for the price it's great. read more

This is a tourist trap masquerading as a Vietnamese restaurant. The pho was so salty it took days to get rid of the taste. Don't waste your money here. It's insulting to call this Vietnamese cuisine. The service is atrocious, with some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. If I could, I'd rate them zero stars. By the way, this was our second visit--the first was five years ago, and we decided to give them another chance, but it was even worse than the first time. read more

Great ambiance! Food is good! Service is awesome! The area is full of near by shopping. read more

Bun Bo - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

I can only rate the banh mi I had here (which I got to-go) and I was a total fan! I really enjoyed the bread and pate and the pork was so tender and it was just so different that the banh mi's i'm used to in NYC (which I love). About the same price as NYC prices too, but the pate made it fancy for this girl *points to self.* I might have made it less classy by walking around and eating it instead of sitting down, but I was enjoying the sandwich too much to care :) I would totally come back for another sandwich! read more

Bun Bo - Banh mi to-go! Yum! - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

My brother was craving Vietnamese food during our trip to Barcelona and we stumbled upon this nice little restaurant while walking around the city. We each got a bowl of Bun Bo Hue and a plate of the Phorrito to share. The Bun Bo Hue tasted authentic and was not too spicy. The broth was very rich and I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was not an abundance of oil in it like I've seen at other restaurants. The Phorritto is a recent fusion trend of pho and a burrito which I originally knew to only been found in LA. When I saw it here, I decided why not? WOW. I was actually shocked how much I was enjoying the Phorrito as each bite was delightful. I liked to first dip it in the broth and then the hoisin sauce. Highly recommend this if you want to try something knew! Service was fast and extremely nice. There is also a mural right next to the restaurant many people were taking pictures with. A photo spot and authentic tasting Vietnamese food? I'll take it!! read more

Decided to have some pho soup since it was raining and a little cold. Ordered the beef pho. Soup was tasty but not very temperature hot. Beef was not soft or tender, a little chewy. New spring rolls were pretty good. read more

A for effort , but... I'm just not a fan. Don't let my judgement interfere in your interest to try. But because i grew up around this type of food, I'm used to being spoiled. I should know better to come to Spain and have this for lunch.. but i was a little homesick and this was around. I was disappointed, but i can't blame them. It was popping when i went though, but, it just wasn't for me. But it doesn't mean it isn't for you. If you really need it, you can definitely try it out. But If you're like me where you had it growing up, don't bring your hopes up... read more

It's a nice different looking place and has a very colorful and welcoming environment , the servers there are very helpful and accommodating, the food is ok, keep in mind that it is inspired by Vietnamese food, so if you're craving real Vietnamese food, it can be underwhelming. read more

Food was good, I had spring roll, pho beef and tiger beer. The service is also good they can speak English, so it was easy for me when ordering, my Spanish is very limited. read more

Was a little homesick being spoiled from living around so many Vietnamese food spots back home plus having many friends and family members who cook delicious Vietnamese food. I ordered the summer rolls, tofu bun noodles, and chicken curry. Was largely disappointed in well, all of it. It felt like they watered down the true Vietnamese flavors of it all. The menu was also quite confusing. I wish I would've ordered the bun bo hue as the true test. read more

Hungry, cranky and desperate for a drink and a small bite, we happened upon Bun Bo. While we had our reservations about Vietnamese food in Spain, we went for it, because the cheap mojito and sangria sign was very appealing, as was the free wifi. Well, you always get what you pay for. I got a cup of ice with a dash of sangria, and the spring rolls we ordered were, gasp, fried! Yech. Two stars because I always like a patio, the promise of a nice afternoon, and free wifi. read more

Bun Bo - Mojito and sangría - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

We came here after wanting some Asian food after eating tapas for almost two weeks. The place does get busy during prime hours. Wait is about 30 minutes for a party of two. We ordered the Pho and Bun. The pho's broth was bland and lacked flavor. The Bun was dry and the beef was cut too thick and overcooked and lack flavor. I'm from NYC and they don't have authentic Vietnamese and this place makes the places in NYC a 10. I give the place credit for the Vietnamese lanterns found in Hi An. The food has little resemblance to real Vietnamese food. Come here if you're really desperate for some Vietnamese otherwise, I say skip it. read more

Dude. Come on people! You're in Barcelona. The international food scene is still growing and this place is an awesome addition to the neighborhood. Sure, the food isn't 100 on the authenticity scale, but the flavors are excellent and the spot is super chill. Definitely a nice switch up from comida catalana. It definitely does get quite crowded at night so be prepared to wait a bit, but if I were you, I'd hit up the menu del día and enjoy your €10 bomb lunch-- drink, appetizer, main dish and a sweet treat or coffee/tea. My go to: Pork nem, chicken pho, a ice cold cerveza and whatever the homemade cake is ;) Yup. Can't go wrong. Cute decor. Sweet servers. Free wifi. Air conditioning (you'd be surprised how many spots don't have AC in Barna). And most importantly, great food. read more

Bun Bo - Pork nem - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

The place is good but not authentic. It seems like it is a Chinese copy of Vietnamese restaurant. The interior is also strange... But anyway, the place is nice and the food is tasty. The service is very quick and very nice! Regarding the food I will recommend Nem (very close to the original) and also the traditional Vietnamese sandwich Bánh mì which is not traditional at all but is tasty. Bún bò is not a good option here - better choose something else. read more

Bun Bo - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

Staff was unfriendly and unmotivated from the beginning on. We came around 5:30 when it was not busy at all. Kimchi tasted rotten (I know it's fermented, but this one tasted like something went wrong). Ordered vegan ceasar salad. The fried tofu tasted like they fried it with fish. When we asked for summer rolls without shrimps they couldn't prepare it. The curry tasted like out of a can (nothing natural besided the vegetables). The interior is cute, the food was below mediocre and the service rather poor. Def. would not come back. read more

Fast service (almost too fast, like everything was pre-cooked) but the pho broth was ruined from oversalting, and the summer rolls were only OK. read more

To be a pho eater in San Francisco Bay Area, I rated this place 5 stars for the pho and service I received. I was traveling southern Europe for 2 weeks without pho, and I stopped by this pho shop at the last day in Barcelona, the pho and bun Bo hue were good. read more

Sweet Vietnamese style spot. Service was fast and the food is delicious. A nice Cocktail menu- I had the mojito (yum). This place SAVED MY LIFE because I was dying of hunger and a lot of places in this area close midday to prepare for the dinner rush - Bun Bo's Kitchen is open all day. Would recommend if you enjoy Vietnamese/fusion food. read more

As far as the BBQ bao buns were concerned, I've had better. They just tasted cheap and unappetizing. The staff seemed to be having an off night; they barely made eye contact with customers. The inside decor was lovely and the outdoor patio would have been nice if it was warmer. read more

After almost two weeks of Moroccan and European food, I was really craving some sort of noodle soup. Bun Bo was one of the few restaurants open late, and within walking distance from where we were staying. The restaurant is pretty spacious, with both inside and outside seating. It's supposedly inspired by Vietnamese food, not actually authentic Vietnamese food, so I wasn't expecting too much. However, it ended up tasting alright. The noodles are wider than the noodles you see in Seattle, but with a similar texture. It came with all the same vegetables, and the broth was okay. Not too salty, but nothing "wow". However, it satiated my noodle soup craving, so it's fine in my book! Basically, you're in Spain. I didn't see many other options for Asian food, so don't expect too much if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese/Asian food. read more

Having been in Spain for 3 weeks, I finally found a decent pho place. They give you an ample amount of brisket meat and the broth was legit. Totally cured my craving for pho. I wish they still had Bun Bo Hue on the menu. read more

Nice place with outdoor seating. The night we went there was live music outside. I believe it was traveling musicians though. The pho was ok. Not the best. But decent. The wok fried noodles were different. Tasty with peanutty flavor with some sesame oil. The appetizer sampler was great. I wanted to try the pancake but we did not have room. The drink selection was great. A nice break from tapas for sure. read more

Very cute place, ample seating and open late on Sundays. Food (the good) The sampler plate was quite good. Chicken wings had good flavor. The spring rolls tasted fresh and had a basil taste that is very familiar in Vietnamese cuisine. Egg rolls were good but I preferred them with the sweet and sour sauce from the wontons. Smoothie was great, we tried the Mango, papaya & pineapple, it was not overly sweet and was all juice no dairy. Food (the bad) I had the noodles with shrimp (gambas) dish. Let me start off by saying all the flavors were there. I was very happy about this, add some siracha on top and it was nice and spicy something you do not usually find in Spain. My only gripe and this affected the entire dish is the noodles were regular spaghetti. Yeah, WTF!! I have found that this is a common occurrence in Spain. They take dishes from other countries and try to adapt them to the Spanish palate which ruins the entire point of eating food from somewhere else. Italian pasta has no place in a Vietnamese dish. I would have taken vermicelli noodles, flat Pad See Ew noodles, or even top ramen over this concoction. Totally ruined all those good flavors. My wife had a red broth soup and the same thing. A real tasty seasoned broth with just enough spice but again spaghetti noodles. She hated it. As much as I want to like this place Italian spaghetti noodles substituting rice noodles is a definite NO!!! I may give them a second chance but only for a rice dish. White rice is white rice in whatever ever country...well I doubt they will substitute Jasmine or Basmati rice. Let's hope read more

I had some bun bo with my friend there and you know as a Vietnamese (means that we are more critical about our food than other people) I don't think bun bo there is really authentic but it was not bad at all. I love the decoration - feel like being back to Hoi An or somewhere like that and the staff was great as well! read more

One of my favourite spots in Barcelona. Beautiful location especially outdoors, cozy, yet very central. The food is simply great and they even have a menu for Glutenfree dishes. Btw- Mojitos here are cheap (I think about 3,70€) and taste good (could be better but considering the price it's fine). read more

Good Vietnamese fusion restaurant. Don't expect anything original or unexpected, this place serves the basics: pho, ban xeo, the bun thai salads and spring/summer rolls. But they do it well. Reasonable price. Nice place. read more

Bun Bo - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

A Vietnamese restaurant was the last thing that I thought I would find in Barcelona. It wasn't even on the radar. But across the street from my hotel was an awesome Vietnamese restaurant. Although the ingredients were not exactly what I'm used to, the food was fantastic and a nice change from eating Jamon Iberico three times a day. It's nice to sit and have a beer (but they have a full bar) on the patio, that they heat in the winter. I went here twice during my visit and had a good meal both times. You can even bring your dog on the patio. I saw several people with their dogs here. read more

Came across this restaurant because I was craving for bún bò and thought this place would have it. Turns out bún bò on the menu is not the bún bò Hue or aka spicy beef noodle soup. The restaurant serves dried bún bò with nuoc mam, lettuce.... The food was mediocre and not authentic. We got 2 lunch specialswith nem, summer rolls and 2 bún bò. Not satisfied with the bun Bo, I then ordered ph also. The ph broth was salty and doesn't have beef flavor much. Maybe because the owners were inspired by Vietnamese food and tried to serve it so can't compare with a restaurant that owned and cooked by Vietnamese. The ambient was great, service was good but the food was so so. I wouldn't come here again. read more

I wish there were subcategories of stars on yelp to fairly rate this restaurant. 5 stars for service 4 stars for sangria 1 star for food To really claim to be a Vietnamese restaurant at least spell the names with the accents right? My husband and I were famished flying in from Venice and is craving for Vietnamese food. This place was the closest and most reviewed so we have it a go. We ordered and I quote "a lot" says our polite waitress. Combination platter : nothing was authentic, yet just way too greasy. Bo bun : sauce was too sour and beef was not chewable. (Not even gonna rate authenticity) Pho: fragrant and that was where it stopped. Soggy herbs, unchewable beef and over cooked noodles. Again, not even gonna mention taste. read more

The food was good but the portion is smaller than I'm used to. The daily special for €10 and you get one starter, a drink, a main and a dessert or coffee. Good price! And it's right next to the kiss mural. read more

I would have given 5 stars, but unfortunately I witnessed an incident that dropped the rating to 1 star. I came with a group of 5 on Sept 2 2016. The wait was about 20 min we had gotten there around 11:00pm (2300). The food was great for a Vietnamese restaurant in Barcelona. I had the beef pho, spring rolls, and fried wontons. Delicious! However, while waiting for our table a bartender broke a glass bottle that shattered on a sink including an open container filled with mint leaves, specifically for bar drinks. The broken glass fragments from the floor were just set aside and nothing was inspected for small glass or disposed of. After a few minutes of waiting, I noticed the bartender pulled out a large piece of glass from the container full of mint leaves, showed another bar employee and both shrugged it off and threw the glass away. They continued to use the same container of mint leaves for drinks, which should have been thrown away if they had already found a piece of glass in it. read more

Curb your LA/SJ expecations. It was worth trying. But as the comedian Ali Wong talks about if it isn't pho #### then it isn't going to taste great. It was our fault we were watching Top Chef and there was a Pho challenge so we were craving some Vietnamese food on our travels through Europe. My husband loves his Pho and I love my Bun Ga (chicken vermicelli bowl). I ordered the menu of the day (lunch special) which comes with a drink, appetizer, entree and dessert for 10 euros. - Coke Zero - Summer Roll -skin smelled a bit stale - Bun Ga - noodles felt very dry, fish sauce smelled like bleach, requested fish sauce that was not diluted - Tapioca Dessert - tapioca was good, not sure about the topping Husband - Large Heineken - Pho Bo - decent for what it is, nothing as deep a flavor as pho broth that takes days. Service was good. The female server felt like she had a bit of an attitude but I cannot be certain. The male server was much more obliging. It is like the menu says it is--- Inspired Vietnamese Food. read more

After 4 weeks of touring Europe, we really wanted to have some Vietnamese food. Bun Bo has kitch Vietnamese ambience. I felt like I was in Hoi An, VN again. We ordered fresh spring rolls and it came out with 4 small pieces. Surprisingly, they were really good and fresh! The sauce is not the typical peanut sauce, it was a creamy sauce. The beef Pho bowl came in a good size, not too small nor big. However, it did not come with basil, rather it was served with mint leaves. If your'e expecting authentic Pho like in Socal, this is not the place for you. My boyfriend ordered chicken curry, the portion was a bit too small for its price. We walked without high expectation; we walked out full. read more
