I decided to stop by for lunch while I was in the area upon the recommendation of friends who grew up in the area. I was definitely not disappointed! The inside of the shop is clean and the staff was friendly and helpful when we were deciding on our orders. The shop is small with only a handful of tables and booths, but thankfully we were able to snag one without having to wait. I decided to get the S6 banh mi and a Thai tea. You have the option to order each of the banh mi spicy (adds peppers) or not spicy - I opted for the spicy version. The banh mi was PHENOMENAL - definitely up there with the best I've had in MA. The bread was the perfect texture with a crunch but not too hard and the filling was exactly as I would want my banh mi to taste. I wish I lived closer to Cafe Bayon so I could order from here regularly! read more

The duck is amazing and the prices are great! Went 2 times during my Salem visit and look forward to coming back again next year. Staff is very friendly. read more

The banh mi. Please try one. I always get the roast pork and then another 2 lbs on the side. It's addictive. The pork is so crunchy and soft, a party in your mouth if you will. The banh mi is just absolutely delicious and it comes with a smear of delicious pate. I also had the head cheese one which was delicious and another sliced meat one. Everything here is delicious. Just go. I wish they had delivery. read more

This place by far is my work staple. Every Friday for as long as I remember this was the to go place. The staff are super friendly and always accommodating! The food is to die for, local Cambodian dishes with roasted meats and veggies. Coffee is always a plus as well. They recently did some renovation but there isn't much seating. read more

Vero has created one of the best lunch takeout spots in the North Shore. I happily and hungrily make the drive from Wellesley all the way to Cafe Bayon just for the roasted duck. Wonderful cafe. Delicious food. Great vibe and service! read more

First time ordering from here with a couple of friends. We ordered the S2, S3, and S6. We were all ecstatic with the freshness of the pickled carrots and radish. We even ordered a side portion which cost three dollars. The protein served inside the sandwiches were all fresh, crispy, and flavorful. The bread was flaky and soft as a traditional banh mi sandwich is. The cashier was very nice. Each sandwich came out to six dollars each, therefore the menu is not totally accurate with the prices listed. Overall, great experience it will definitely come again. read more

An excellent source for bahn mi sandwiches. Absolutely swing by and give the food a shot.

Wow! I don't know what flavor they use for duck and chicken dinner but it's definitely finger licking good right to the bones. The flavors are savory and delicious!! Although, their chicken and duck meat have lots of bones so be careful. Their sandwiches are VERY tasty and less than $10. The young staff is friendly and always makes you feel welcome. It's a busy place I wonder why. It's best to call your orders in. Parking is scarce but it's definitely a worth a trip. read more

I absolutely love the food. I get the bbq pork and roast pork with the rice and veggies (R5). I ate inside once I would say the vibe isn't really a sit down and eat kind of thing. That's why we had always ordered to go. The staff is very direct but for what the restaurant is I believe the service you get is decent. read more

I've been looking for a good bahn mi place nearby for ages. I finally found one! This place is the real deal. I got the pork belly bahn mi and it was crispy and so fresh. I'm definitely going to be a regular. I just wish they were open later in the evening (close at 5) or were available for delivery. read more

The best chicken satay skewers I have ever had. Everything is absolutely delicious, and everyone is absolutely delightful!

Great Food with Generous Portions! The Beef Satay Bahn Mi was juicy and taste great with all of the condiments. The Roast Duck & Pork Belly was lean, juicy, flavorful and sold out by noon. I can taste the Coffee in the Iced Coffee. Can't wait to come back from San Francisco! read more

I wasn't expecting much when I stumbled upon this small Southeast Asian restaurant for lunch, but I can honestly say I was thrilled once I tasted the chicken satay banh mi sandwich I ordered. Truly blown away by how much I enjoyed the sauce. The veggies and chicken were complimented perfectly in a spicy, savory snack on a fresh flaky baguette. There's also a lot of other interesting entrees, drinks and sides on the menu I'll have to check out next time I go. Everything is very well priced and the service was great as well. Would definitely recommend visiting Cafe Bayon if you're craving bahn mi! read more

Great sandwiches and rice plates. Best pork belly around! Plus reasonable prices and good service.

Decent Asian food in the northshore. We usually order the banh mi and a roast pork rice plate. The banh mi tastes a bit different than your usual Vietnamese banh mi, but still good. Service here is great! read more

Got the bahn mi sandwiches (bbq pork and combo 1 (pork roll and headcheese) and it was absolutely delicious. So thankful to have a local bahn mi place!! Also got some Thai milk tea and lemonade to top off the meal. Everything was ready in ten minutes. The staff was really kind as well. Can't wait to make this place a staple for myself. Truly a gem! read more

Banh mi is delicious. Get there early if you want the bbq pork as it sells out sometimes. Fresh pressed sugar cane juice too.

I've ordered at cafe Bayon a whole Duck for duck soup for dinner. I've found multiple pieces, not only one piece but it's unfortunately I won't be coming to this place again. Once I start put in my mouth, sour taste began that I have to spit it out. It's two different colors meaning that it's spoiled. If it's looks one exact color then it's not spoiled. It's a crystal clear picture that's it's spoiled. If I were an owner I wouldn't be serving any Customer's with a spoiled food and wasting their money. How can people do such a thing? Good thing I'm posting this, I should goto city Hall have them go by and get an inspection. We all don't deserve this, "spoiled Food". Covid -19 is already enough. I don't need this spoiled food sick into my stomach. read more

Cafe Bayon - Spoiled duck - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

I used have to go to Lowell to get good Vietnamese style sandwiches and Chinatown in Boston for duck. NOT ANYMORE! I can't believe how happy I am at finding this place so close to home and am delighted at how great the food is. Their sandwiches are amazing. I personally Love the Satay sandwich. It's 5.50 but damn is it filling. They pack it with meat and veggies and that delicious sauce. It's divine. I used to always stop by the sandwich stores in Lowell when I visit, now I don't even bother. This is now my go to place for sandwiches. Their duck, bbq and roasted pork and especially their lemongrass chicken are all delicious. I wish they would do marinated chicken (chinese style) but who knows, maybe they will in the future. The prices are great and the people there are so nice. I find myself getting their desserts a lot too. I love the coconut jelly, it's so good. Parking can be an issue at times but for the most part, I can find one. They also have chow foon which is another staple in my diet but I haven't had the pleasure in having theirs. I have a chow foon place i go to that is much closer and already great so maybe one day I'll have the one here just to compare. Overall this place is great. I love it. Nice staff, great food and prices and I always support local cambodian restaurants whenever I can. I hope they do well and stay open forever! read more

The drinks and desserts are very good! I give them 4 stars for that. The banh mi still taste dry. Minus 1 star. read more

I'm not much of a carb enthusiast these days, but when I get a Banh Mi craving, they have satisfied me here. I'm pleased with their menu as it offers good variety - sandwich wise. You can get a beef and chicken combo! Pretty sure they can create a combo of your choice if you kindly ask. Prices are fair. On the other hand, has anyone noticed that banh mi prices are slowly increasing everywhere? No more $3-$4 sammies! Darn!! On their roasted items..... I do not recommend their chicken. They have not perfected this dish. I'm still optimistic though.. Maybe one day, it will moist instead of dry and the odd soy / scallion flavors will suddenly do it justice... My mother-in-law did mention that she enjoyed the pork dishes and the duck especially. I sadly have yet to sample the duck given the small quantity they carry which runs out quickly. Let's hope it's in the cards for me on my next visit! =P read more

My son absolutely loves this place, describing it as "dank". He usually gets a pork belly Bahn Mi and shrimp rolls and says it's the best he's ever had. He brought me home some summer rolls and a Thai green tea Boba drink and it was pretty "bomb" (I'm waaay to old to use that word). He's had the duck and roast pork and according to him equally as good. If you have never eaten a Bahn Mi this is a great place to start, support local businesses and spend money locally!! read more

Cafe Bayon - Summer rolls, very fresh and gigantic. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

Always good flavors and friendly people. I like duck now with rice. I also like the Boba teas.

Their banh mi sandwich is good, well the cold cuts one so far. Still haven't tried their pork belly or beef one yet. The chicken is ok, I rather have it shredded than big chunks. Pricey now for these sandwiches. I remember when they're around $3, now it's $5. The rice and duck is ok, wish they give more veggies with it. The egg rolls, too much taro causing it to be mushy and soggy. I'll go back tho for sandwiches and their drinks. read more

I have been eating here since they opened and I am a big fan. I love the chicken rice plate the most, but will get the duck plate when I'm especially hungry. The portions are big so I usually end up having half for lunch and the other half for dinner. The food is very consistent and always comes with delicious housemade sauces on the side. I have to agree with Vezna's review that the owners are very friendly. They are super kind and great at what they do. They have recently added chowfun and some other offerings to the menu. The avocado smoothies and Thai iced tea are top notch as well. read more

Everything is yummy large portions and very inexpensive try roast pork crispy and juicy lemon grass chicken flavorful not fan bok choy soy I have the put pickle radish and carrot white rice read more

All food are good in this restaurant, I love this place. The owner are so friendly, and the restaurant are very clean also. Very recommend for Cambodian food read more

I was excited to hear that another Cambodian restaurant opened up in Lynn. I went over to the cafe around noon time. They offer roasted duck and pork which is a plus. I tried their rice plate that came with roasted duck and pork and their BBQ pork sandwich. Both were very good compared to other Cambodian restaurants in Lynn. Also the lady that was taking orders was very accommodating to our needs. I will definitely go to them again to fulfill my cravings for duck and banh mi. I learned that it's best to bring cash because when I went to the restaurant, their card machine was down. read more
