Restaurant of the Month: Bon Chinese

bon-chinese dim sum

 

When you’ve got a yen for Chinese food, and want a sophisticated menu prepared by well-trained chefs, look no further than Bon Chinese, at 10000 Montgomery Road in Montgomery. The delicious offerings are prepared by what are called the “ke-ban shi-fu” (professional cooks) – and there aren’t too many of those in Cincinnati, also known as the “town of thousands of Chinese restaurants”.

Unique to the Cincinnati area is Bon Chinese’s exotic Cantonese Chinese Dim Sum. Dim Sum means “snacks” and while it used to be a specialty for the Cantonese Chinese to enjoy for breakfast or lunch, it’s now eaten any time of day, all over the world. These small appetizers are well-flavored and delicately prepared, filled with such goodies as shrimp, pork or bean curd. There are many different options on the Dim Sum menu, and they are the perfect treat to sit and enjoy with family and friends. Dim Sum cooked-to-order hours are everyday from 11:00am to 9:00pm, and push cart hours are Saturday and Sunday from 10:30am to 3:00pm.

The regular menu offers up classic Chinese options, such as hot and sour soup, egg rolls, sesame chicken, duck, as well as a variety of Thai options, noodle dishes and chicken, beef, pork and shrimp dishes prepared Szechuan, Hunan, and Cantonese style, to name a few. Regular menu hours are everyday, 11:00am to 9:30pm.

Private parties are welcome! Bon Chinese has a party room that can hold up to 80 guests, and they serve cocktails, wine and beer. This is a true hidden Chinese treasure – check it out for yourself.
