I move 50 miles away and I'm having withdrawals from their food here. The service is always great here. This place is so clean. The food is to die for. This is a must eat place. Thank you.

Vero has created one of the best lunch takeout spots in the North Shore. I happily and hungrily make the drive from Wellesley all the way to Cafe Bayon just for the roasted duck. Wonderful cafe. Delicious food. Great vibe and service!

You will never find a better tasting banh mi sandwich than the artfully delicious pork banh mi from Cafe Bayon! Super fresh and flavorful - worth the drive for a special treat! The cafe is in pristine condition as far as cleanliness is concerned and fully staffed to eliminate long wait-times. I tend to find parking on the street just west of the cafe's corner location, on a residential side street. Go! You'll become a regular like me in no time!

I decided to stop by for lunch while I was in the area upon the recommendation of friends who grew up in the area. I was definitely not disappointed! The inside of the shop is clean and the staff was friendly and helpful when we were deciding on our orders. The shop is small with only a handful of tables and booths, but thankfully we were able to snag one without having to wait. I decided to get the S6 banh mi and a Thai tea. You have the option to order each of the banh mi spicy (adds peppers) or not spicy - I opted for the spicy version. The banh mi was PHENOMENAL - definitely up there with the best I've had in MA. The bread was the perfect texture with a crunch but not too hard and the filling was exactly as I would want my banh mi to taste. I wish I lived closer to Cafe Bayon so I could order from here regularly!

The banh mi. Please try one. I always get the roast pork and then another 2 lbs on the side. It's addictive. The pork is so crunchy and soft, a party in your mouth if you will. The banh mi is just absolutely delicious and it comes with a smear of delicious pate. I also had the head cheese one which was delicious and another sliced meat one. Everything here is delicious. Just go. I wish they had delivery.

I absolutely love the food. I get the bbq pork and roast pork with the rice and veggies (R5). I ate inside once I would say the vibe isn't really a sit down and eat kind of thing. That's why we had always ordered to go. The staff is very direct but for what the restaurant is I believe the service you get is decent.

Wow! I don't know what flavor they use for duck and chicken dinner but it's definitely finger licking good right to the bones. The flavors are savory and delicious!! Although, their chicken and duck meat have lots of bones so be careful. Their sandwiches are VERY tasty and less than $10. The young staff is friendly and always makes you feel welcome. It's a busy place I wonder why. It's best to call your orders in. Parking is scarce but it's definitely a worth a trip.

This place by far is my work staple. Every Friday for as long as I remember this was the to go place. The staff are super friendly and always accommodating! The food is to die for, local Cambodian dishes with roasted meats and veggies. Coffee is always a plus as well. They recently did some renovation but there isn't much seating.

The person taking the order was super nice! So far I've tried the Banh Mi sandwiches, roasted duck and crispy pork and all of it was delicious! It's like Cambodian, Vietnamese, light Chinese fusion. The dining area only has a few tables but if you wanted to sit and eat in there, it is clean inside. They also have delicious shakes, Thai iced tea and if you can go early, sometimes they have Asian desserts at the little window.
