Reviews of Bunha Faun (Restaurant)

Stella F

Amazing, simply amazing ... not what you would expect from the outside or even after being seated. Service was great and food was 5 stars! Our party had the oyster special, Asian noodles, mushroom soup, and green/pesto pasta for appetizer. For dinner we had the steak, baramundi special, rainbow trout special, thai chicken, salmon, shrimp and scallops and everyone was so impressed that we were trying each other's dishes. First time but not the last.

Always an excellent meal. The Escargot is the best around. I've enjoyed every thing I've tried there. It is BYOB so that is a bonus!

D Thomas

Absolutely wonderful food presented fabulously!!!!

J-C Obendorfer

Great boy. Very good food. Great place for a romantic dinner.

Pete Kamenik

Great experience with friends!!!

Andrew Weber

Really don't understand the high reviews for this place. Food was pricey and very mediocre. The decor and atmosphere looked like it hasn't been updated since the 70s. Pretty packed every weekend though, so somebody must like it.

David Smith

Excellent flavors in every course. This is a BYOB.

Been going here for decades. Sure, its setting and decor are dated. But it is by far the best white napkin dining value out there. Food is always delicious, and sometimes superlative, even if the menu may be limited. Bring an excellent bottle of wine, and you get a 3-star dining experience for pennies on the dollar.

We just had dinner at your restaurant -it was wonderful food but so hot in your restaurant. We were told that you could not order certain deserts due to problem with freezer -you were having a total air conditioning issue -it was 85 in your restaurant. We made a reservation-had dinner but you should have offered a free desert or discount on our meal for your malfunctions to your air conditioning-not sure we will return.

Richard Kleger

One of our favorite restaurants..

Edward LeSage

In a word superb in every way. The escargot appetizer is a must.

A P Hargreaves

Genuinely confused over the gushing reviews. The place desperately needs a make over of both the decor and the menu. Speaking of which the food (as sampled in a party of six) was average at best but highly over priced.

Matt Rogers

Amazing BYOB! Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you, this unique French-Asian fusion hidden gem is one of the best spots on the Main Line

Unusual French Asian hybrid, the food was good, created with display in mind as is typical of french style cooking so don't expect huge portions. The menu is limited and doesn't vary but that can be good as the chef sticks to what he does best. They don't serve alcohol but encourage you to bring your own. Best bets are the oyster appetizers and Filet mignon. Price is reasonable for the cuisine.

John Andrews

Never dissapointed in the food. Had the veal chop which was fantastic. Escargo for an appetizer were also terrific.

Located in what used to be a Dairy Queen, Bunha Faun feels like a relic of the past. The food is good - I really enjoyed my scallop dish, but my husband was unimpressed with his beef croquet (I beleive his words were, "Kebab Cafe is better."). The service is impeccable, but I couldn't get past the building itself. It wasn't that the building clearly used to be something (very specifically) else, but rather that the decor was as old and shabby as the building itself. There were water stains on the ceiling, discolored paint in the bathroom, and an overall feeling of being in someone's grandparent's living room that hasn't been updated since the 80's. I realize this may sound overly critical, but it was truly conspicuous, and especially for what we were paying for our meal, a serious distraction at best. I really wanted to love Bunha Faun (and the wonderful service and BYO policy definitely bumped it my rating up a star), but just couldn't get past the weirdly dated and fading ambiance.

Linine table cloths superb portabella mushroom soup tender shrimp abd scallops

Jean-Francois Guignard

Small menu which means that they do each dish perfectly. I'm not sure why they claim to be French-Asian but it doesn't matter the food is excellent and service faultless.

Monica McDowell

Always impressed!

Arthur Rosenbaum

always reliable for good food & service. byob

Thomas Zern

My family as well as several friends have been to Bunha Faun many times and have always had wonderful food and great service

Alexander J. Smith

Excellent! I had escalope of chicken with apricot, buttered vegetables, french onion soup, and desserts. Also, nice atmosphere and decor

Mark Roberts

Ok, we came here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. Even though the outside is inconspicuous, the food was done perfectly and service was top notch. Fish cooked to perfection, and tofu curry was made to order in terms of spiciness. Don't miss the dessert! We will be back!

John Clarke

Never, ever been disappointed by a meal here. Their sauces are incredible. You hear stories from days past of French cooking influence in Indochina. This is here now in our own back yard!

Matt Harden

Fantastic food and BYOB

Mike Healy

The food was great. Not the classiest establishment but don't let that put you off. Genuinely delicious fresh food cooked with care and attention. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

Elaine Boreski

Last night we had 12 in our party. Food was excellent and server Dominique never made a mistake on food to each or the bill. She is a real keeper. Rest rooms could be cleaner and some update to dining room. The tables did look nice with flowers and tablecloths. Will return, a favorite of ours.

LaKisha Lefever

Katharine Dome

Excellent food in a cozy relaxed decor!

Elizabeth Richter

It was our first time there. We didn't know about it. Everything was delicious!!! Great service. Our waiter Greg was awesome.

Daniel Fields

Wonderful BYOB. My wife and I go all the time and are never disappointed. The food is delicious. A bit upscale and nothing fancy to look at but did I mention the food is delicious? Service has always been top notch too. Give it a try. The specials are amazing. Actually, everything we've had has been fantastic.

C. Hayes

OK food. Dated environment.

Winnie Fessenbecker

Very good food. The fish was great. I highly recommend the black linguine and the white chocolate truffle

David Utz

Very good food. A little expensive. Limited menu but very tasty

I have been coming to this place for well over 15 years. The location May not look like anything from the outside but I have to say once you are seated the staff is very welcoming. The food is extremely consistent and I am always happy to return. It's a place that I love to come before I go to People's Light and Theater. They're always eager to serve me good food and get me to the show on time. Thank you for more than a decade of excellence.

Wally Ro

meal for 2, with appetizers. great fish, nice flair. real candle-light. easy parking. one of those aha-surprise places to return to again and again.

Peter Jordan

Took the guys like 2 hours to make my food which was 4 pieces of ravioli...the food was good but what are they doing back there that requires ravioli to cook for two hours? Are they growing the grain or something??

Patricia Cranston Vogrin

A place where friends can meet and have a wonderful dinner

Michael J Samarco
