Bol Test Kitchen And Bar

My husband and I have been living in this neighborhood for over a year and we couldn't believe it's taken us this long to discover BOL! After returning from a long trip, we ordered delivery and the driver went beyond the call of duty and dropped off our hot food directly in front of our third-floor apartment door. It arrived before we even got home and we were beyond amazed at the quality of vegetables and MSG-free broth!!!! I've been suffering bad reactions to MSG at many other restaurants nearby so finding BOL is such a game-changer for us and a new favorite staple.

What a wonderful restaurant! We stopped in for a weekend brunch and were so impressed by the food, the atmosphere, and the service. The outdoor patio is the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends, and the food itself is really excellent — we especially enjoyed the kalbi short ribs and the fish sauce wings, but everything we tried was great. Lots of traditional American brunch favorites on the menu, too — we will have to come back to try it all!

This place has the BEST pho I’ve ever had. My partner and I think it is even better than some much more expensive places we have been to. The broth tastes so delicious, complex, and flavourful, and doesn’t even have any MSG in it. Only complaints: 1- I wish the eggs were soft boiled, because after sitting in the hot broth they turn into rubber balls. 2- most other things on the menu are unfortunately not quite as good as the pho (Although the house-made breakfast sausage is spectacular). Bottom line is - if you want some good pho, get it at BOL!

Every time we eat here I am so satisfied. The gluten free bread for Ban Mi is decent, the sandwich is amazing, the broth it is served with is out of this world. I can't wait for fall as I have a go to Pho place now. It is so clean and silky and full of depth of flavor. Tried a cocktail tonight for the first time, super refreshing, well balanced and beautifully presented. We have kids and they are surprisingly kid friendly for what appears to be a small trendy restaurant. If we lived closer we would undoubtedly eat here often. As it stands we've made the trip 3 times.
