About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
“Boon” Restaurant is a Eastern European Restaurant with influences from Romanian, Russian, French, Ukrainian and Moldavian cuisine. The restaurant is a cozy and welcoming spot in the middle of hectic Manhattan. This Hell’s Kitchen gem is a great space for a lovely dinner, quick lunch bite or fun fulfilling brunch. Great space for social events, family gatherings, dates. “Boon” or mainly known as “Bun” in Romanian language actually means good. Anything from people to food can be called “bun”. We created a space that has good food,good people and an insanely good atmosphere for guests to enjoy. The 44th St and 9th Avenue neighborhood got what it was definitely needing: a cozy place serving homemade European dishes along with some American favorites like “Boon” Burger or Crispy Calamari. We are looking forward to welcome you in “Boon”!

    The place was a bit lackluster in service. There's no lunch crowd and the waiter didn't speak to anyone in the party after several attempts made by us...NOT even a 'You're Welcome'. The food overall was good, however, got the order wrong and just didn't feel like sending it back. Also, the waiter initially provided the full price menu and we had to request the lunch menu...didn't feel bad as the next group that came in joked that its not dinner yet, where's the lunch menu.

    I enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal at Boon European Bistro. I had the lentil soup, the branzino with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. The portions were so generous and the dishes were all so delicious. I also had the nutella crepes for dessert, and they were outstanding. The prices are quite low given the quality and portion sizes. A great find in Hell's Kitchen.

    This restaurant accepted our reservation & was closed shut right as a drum when we arrived at 8:50pm, 10 minutes before our reservation. No phone call or any method of communication to advise of cancellation. So much for professionalism!

    The worst in years! Avoid this place unless you like Romanian food and service. the menu was NOT what is advertised on their web site NOT EVEN CLOSE! They didn't even have hamburgers or BLT's as advertised in their in-house menu. Owners/manager was not understandable and understood very little of what we were asking. I can see if this place was in an ethnic section of New York but it is right near Broadway. Food was average to poor. one of got ill from eating the sausage. So, so sorry we picked this place but couldn't switch once we were there. They didn't even have soft drinks. Only drinks offered was tap water and NO ICE!
