Since opening its doors in 2014 as an intimate 35-seat spot, Bo & Bun has been all about flavors that linger long after the last bite. Born from a love for the vibrant street food and family recipes of Southeast Asia, Bo & Bun brought something new to Bali’s food scene—a slice of Vietnamese comfort and creativity that wasn’t easy to find on the island back then.
Ten years later, after expanding twice to keep up with a growing fan base, Bo & Bun continues to serve dishes rooted in nostalgia, each one cooked with care and a little bit of flair.
At Bo & Bun, comfort food wears the crown and rules the plate, with a focus on flavor that makes an impression. Known for serving the best pho in Bali, the team takes its time slow-simmering the broth for twelve hours, never watering it down, to deliver full-bodied flavor in every spoonful.
Every dish prioritizes taste over aesthetics, blending traditional Southeast Asian recipes with modern techniques to keep the authentic charm alive.
Generous portions ensure no one leaves hungry—because at Bo & Bun, the goal is to fill the stomach, warm the soul, and leave every guest satisfied and smiling. The result? A menu that’s a little nostalgic, a little bold, and packed with flavor, served in a cozy, vintage-inspired setting that feels both elegant and refreshingly laid-back.
The real magic, of course, is in the menu. Take the 12-Hour Pho: slow-simmered for twelve hours, this broth is a deep, rich bowl of beefy goodness. Piled high with rare tenderloin, beef shank, brisket, meatballs, rice noodles, and fresh herbs, this pho doesn’t just warm you up; it wraps you in a big, flavorful hug.
Or try the Pork Belly Bao Buns—tender pork belly tucked into soft, house-made bao buns with hoisin sauce, fresh herbs, and peanuts. Each bite is as fluffy, savory, and downright addictive as the last.
For those who like their pork with a bit of crunch, Crispy Pork Belly Bites deliver satisfying texture and bold flavor. And speaking of flavor, the Smoked Lemongrass Chicken is an exciting new addition to the menu.
This half chicken, chargrilled to smoky perfection, is served with soubise onion, red cabbage pickle, fresh herbs, and a touch of annatto chili oil to tie it all together.
Need something fresh? The Vietnamese Salad is your go-to, with glass noodles, lettuce, herbs, carrot, cucumber, beansprouts, and crispy fried spring rolls, tossed with nuoc cham—a traditional Vietnamese dipping sauce. You can top it off with lemongrass pork, chicken, tofu, or the ultimate treat—18-hour pork belly bites.
And don’t even think about skipping dessert. The Chocolate Fondant is pure indulgence, with raspberry ganache on the side, complementing the rich, warm chocolate shell. Served with a dark chocolate cookie, salted caramel, a crisp black sesame tuile, and vanilla gelato, it’s the kind of sweet ending that’ll have you dreaming about it long after.
