These wontons are all I knead! 🥟❤️

These are handmade by momma Long, with split mung beans, woodeared fungus, chunks of chicken seitan and vegetable mince.

Chef Will has made a lovely aromatic chilli oil dressing to pair with the wontons.

Made with love 💕 Enjoy! 🥰

Our Hanoi Chicken Pho has earned the crown as our longest-running special for a reason! Should probably just call it a Signature dish by now 😂✨

With deep satisfying flavours that keep you coming back, it’s the OG of our specials menu and is still going strong.

Too good to take off the menu, have you tried this bowl of soul-warming goodness yet? 🍜

Can personally recommend adding brocolli 🥦 or extra noodles if you are sharing with the family ❤️

Prefer to enjoy it with the fresh beanshoots and Thai Basil herb, just let us know :)

One of our most popular dishes from our lunch menu, come in and try it for yourself 😋

Introducing our new Swiss Mushroom Burger ✨🍔🍄‍🟫

Umami packed burger, savoury in all the best ways. Our succulent grilled beef patty is topped with Swiss cheese, grilled flat mushrooms, red onions, oakleaf lettuce and finished with caramelised onions and aioli.

"𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁"

We've listened to your feedback about the Lion's Mane dish with with some loving it, some not so much. Tysm for being honest with us 🫶

Working with a new mushroom we've never handled before, we were so excited to use it, but we found that if you overwork it, it quickly loses moisture, juiciness, and shrinks, intensifying the marinade (and really depends who prepped them that day).

And that's not good enough for us, we want all the food coming out of our kitchen to be consistent and drool-worthy each time 🙌

We've taken all those challenges and have found a way to keep the Lion's mane mushroom juicy, seal it inside a nice crispy crust! Introducing Version 2.0, plus some added gravy for the mash. A great feed! 😋🍴

Did you have the first version? Let us know what you thought and try V2.0!

We strive for progress over perfect! And we get pretty close sometimes 🙏

The hardest thing we get asked all the time is recommendations! Our menu's just so huge!

But we reckon it's hard to not fall in love with these delicious Big Mak Baos! The flavours and textures of the crispy gua bao. And that sauce so good! 😋

Served ready for you to be build your own bao! Just the way you would like it. Do the caramelised onions go in first? Or do you put them on last? Less sauce or more sauce? Lettuce is yuck? It's totally up to you! Embrace the freedom or your creative side! 😄

We enjoy continuing to create new dishes that everyone and anyone can enjoy! Gluten Free? Celiac? No Onion or Garlic? Can't eat mushrooms?! You'll find something to eat at Brother Bon ❤️

It's never a great feeling to be excluded or forgotten at the dinner table 🥲
And no animals products! We think it's a win win for everyone ☮️

13/08/2024

Come by and share a bao or two, or maybe a bowl of noodle soup.

Our menu is made for everyone, small bites, big eaters, traditional, or even something a bit more fancy!

Can't have gluten, eggs or dairy, nor onions, nor garlic, no worries, we still got options a-plenty.

We have lots of desserts, so save some space at the end, we got takeaway boxes if you need. The food is great and vibe is too, so it's best to bring a friend.

Best of all the food is grown, cause we don't eat the homies.

Inspired by plants - no chatgpt
