Bon Me Food Truck


The Bon Me Truck offers gluten free options! I ate at Bon Me for the first time at BostInno’s Boston Fest last Thursday night. It was great! Everything is priced at $6 First you choose a sandwich, buckwheat or rice noodle salad or a rice bowl. Only the rice noodles and rice (white or brown) bowls are gluten free. After this you choose a filling, the only gluten free option is the spiced-rubbed all natural chicken.  The noodle salad comes with a choice of sauce, but for us we can only have the Vietnamese vinaigrette. The rice bowls come with a soy drizzle, and guess what! They have gluten free soy sauce! You can add extras, such as edamame  or cilantro peppercorn chicken, both of which are gluten free, among others. These change daily, so make sure to ask if they are safe to eat or not.

The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and what I could and could not eat, it was great. Not only this, but they were so friendly, all of them, and always smiling. If you ask, they will change their gloves while handling your food.

The rice bowl was delicious. For $6 I got a lot of food! The rice bowl comes with carrots, daikon, seasonal greens, bean sprouts, cilantro and sprouts. The herbs were so fresh and had such great flavor.

Bon Me is a simple concept but with a lot of flavor and great taste. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the amount of rice was enough for two people to share. Of course though, I ate it all.

I recommend trying Bon Me at least once. I am definitely going back to try the rice noodle salad with the Vietnamese vinaigrette
