The owner is friendly, and the seating is spaced out, allowing for good conversation. This is important when you are a hungry sniveling goblin with a loud chortle. Everything tastes correct, and fresh. I had a Vietnamese Ice Coffee that awakened ancient Goblin memories in my stinky heart. For patrons willing to go deeper than a pedestrian "Bahn Mi" or "Pho", try the Papaya Salad. It's refreshing and I recently learned uses young papaya so it doesn't taste as bitter. I enjoyed the horseradish they added to the aioli, but that may be too exotic for Goblins used to Pizza Bars and Casual Italian. For those that do enjoy the classics, they don't miss here.

We tried the bánh mì, crispy fries, and a brown sugar boba, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The menu offers a nice variety of Vietnamese comfort food, along with burgers, drinks, and other café favorites, so there's something for just about everyone. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. It's comfortable without being overly busy or formal, making it a great place to catch up with friends, enjoy a quiet meal, or simply relax for a while. If you're exploring Beacon Hill or live nearby, Cloud Cafe is definitely worth adding to your list. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu.

Leaving yet ANOTHER review for this amazing place. (Read my previous review of Cloud Cafe for more…read moredetails, but)......just GO. The gentleman who helped us tonight was super super kind; the customer service is just impeccable and heart warming, and the food is remarkable as always. I asked for extra cucumber and they really, really, really came through. Also, best fish sauce in town. Additionally, the crab Rangoon is crazy good; and somehow remains perfectly crispy, even when I've neglected it for 30+ minutes after arriving home. This has been true EVERY time I've purchased crab Rangoon here. Writing this here just to recommend, yet again (and passionately drive home the point) all the joys of this wonderful spot. If you needed a sign to go here, fellow readers, this is it!!! Absolutely lovely place, lovely people, and has been so incredibly consistent in the wonders of both taste and kindness. Cheers to Cloud Cafe, and I'm looking forward to coming back in the triple (and not just double) digits as far as how many times I've frequented. Thank you!!! See you all soon!

The missus and I popped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon, after the lunch rush (or before the dinner…read morerush?). The missus was craving either Thai or Vietnamese food, and, Bua 9 was exactly the kind of discovery you want to stumble onto when you're hungry, and it's a cold lazy day (in general). We had the whole place to ourselves, which felt like a private dining experience we didn't pay extra for. The steady flow of delivery bags going out the door explained everything - the locals (or people on UberEats/DoorDash) clearly already know about this place, they just prefer to eat it from their couch. Smart, honestly, but you'd miss the vibe: warm beige walls, white orchids on the windowsill, plants clustered near the counter, a Paris cityscape on one wall and what looked like an aerial photo of an Asian city on another, and a small Thai spirit house hanging overhead. And then Studio Ghibli music came through the speakers and I immediately relaxed in a way that was slightly embarrassing. It's that kind of place. (Worth noting: it doubles as a sushi restaurant. There's a QR code on every table for "Bua 9 Thai & Sushi." We didn't test that side this visit, but it's on the list.) We ordered three dishes. The panang curry with pork ($20.99, 3 out of 5 on the spice scale - minimum is 2, for reference) was rich and fragrant in that deeply coconut-forward way that makes panang so distinct from every other Thai curry. The pork was tender, the wilted greens added contrast, and the jasmine rice soaked up every last drop of the sauce. This is a dish that gets better with every spoonful - you start thinking "this is good" and end the bowl thinking "I need to come back for this specifically." The boat noodles ($18.99) were the dark horse. The broth was dark, complex, and delicious in the best possible way - the kind that tastes like it's been simmering for a LONG time. The noodle portion was ENORMOUS (I ended up finishing the missus's noodle overflow after she made a very deliberate decision to just... drink the rest of the broth. Straight from the bowl. Because it was that good and she had zero regrets about it). That's a five-star endorsement if I've ever seen one. The mango sticky rice ($10.95) was almost an afterthought, but it absolutely shouldn't have been. Generous portion, thick coconut cream both soaked in and drizzled on top, fresh mango that was ripe and sweet with just enough tang. Here's the bit that made us laugh: we'd just bought a bag of mangos at Costco, so we saved some of the sticky rice to take home for a round two. Sticky rice + fresh Costco mango back home? Highly recommend that meta-experience. Total came to $56.30 after tax (before tip) for two people, completely full. On the way back to the car (parked behind on the street), the missus turned to me and said this was "a good meal for a reasonable price" - and that's about as high a commendation as you're going to get from her, so there you have it. Parking is street-only (front and back), limited spots. One bathroom at the back. Bua 9 is the kind of neighbourhood spot that doesn't need to announce itself. It just quietly makes excellent boat noodles while Spirited Away plays in the background - and if you wander in on a rainy Sunday afternoon with a trunk full of Costco mangos, you might just leave with sticky rice for the road.
