It is the only Eastern European place around. We were ok with the food but only the pork was the one that would make us crave to go back.

There's so little Polish food out there. It's delicious stuff and Bona's does a great job of it. We enjoyed the bigos and the mushroom crepes; the rest of the menu looked pretty interesting. They had a wide variety of Polish beers -- my Warsa was great, with lots of flavor and not too much malty sweetness. We'll definitely be back.
It got crowded early on a Saturday night (they were turning away four-person parties at 6:15pm), so a reservation is a good idea.

Believe my review, don't believe the people raving about this place. They clearing don't know what they are talking about.
$10.95 for the Polish sausage appetizer, which is a single grilled sausage, nothing else, and took them 35 minutes to produce. Pork cutlet was OK, but a little greasy. Goulash was unremarkable. More of just a standard beef stew, with nothing other than dry beef chunks in it.
I grew up with this type of food almost every night for dinner. This place just wasn't very good. Nothing like the old Krakow in San Francisco. If you want a better rendition of the same type of food -- journey about 3 miles away to Copenhagen on Woodside Road (in the Woodside Plaza shopping center).

The restaurant was full, which was reassuring; however, it was noisy which made an intimate conversation rather challenging. Service was slow and we seldom saw our waiter. Food was on the bland side.

Very good food and service. We had the herring with sour cream as appetizers (the bread was delicious), then the Mushroom Pierogi and the Mushroom Crepes as entrees. The pierogi was good, but the crepes were excellent. I had some Żywiec (polish pilsener) which was a very pleasant surprise.
Service was great. I'd recommend Bona for sure.

I had no idea this restaurant existed in Menlo Park, but I'm so glad I discovered it! It's tucked away on a side alley in downtown MP. The wait staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! (Not a great wine selection, but their pours were generous.)

Delicious traditional Polish foods. Chef came San Francisco restaurant Old Krakow. Servers were need some training on timing and awareness of customer needs. Great food. Can recommend the stuffed cabbage rolls. Large portions.
