Reviews
Great casual dining experience, it’s been renovated in the last couple of years and looks great now. The music had me using Shazam and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Service isn’t in a rush but the food came out quick. It has a larger menu with a good variety. If you’re looking for a chill place for lunch or dinner definitely try it.
Still love their pork.

This place is amazing! My friend showed it to my sister and I, the food is amazing, cheap with big portions. Their Thai tea is great, really the only one I’ve liked from a restaurant.
And that they basically have everything you need right at the table. Tip: keep an eye out for the sliced garlic glass jar. Strong!! Good hot sauce, too. Will return!
Pho is one of the best in town. You can tell care went into the broth. Standard spring rolls are tasty and not filled with shredded iceberg lettuce. Classic mi vit tim is excellent . Perfectly cooked noodle. Plenty of greens. Duck was flavorful and cooked to the right level of tenderness. Their bo ne needs work though.
It’s not fast food or fast dining.
Below is the rating that I drafted years ago before Ben Thanh closed down BUT forgot to post. Apparently Google automatically keeps drafts of reviews.
I rated excellent for certain dishes.
We go there almost once a week. They have very good food at very good prices. They have a couple of dishes that are not on the menu at other; bo la lop (seasoned beef wrapped in leaves) and bo bia (spicy springroll). Both are very good. My favs are springrolls (best in town), ca kho to (fish cooked clay pot), wonton & noodle, bun bo hue (Hue noodle) (very spicy unless indicated otherwise when ordering.
The description given in Dave’s review (May 2009) is still true.
Upon entering, it is a small restaurant and the sweet old lady welcomed us and I think she thought we were Vietnamese because she started speaking to us in Vietnamese. She showed us where the high chairs were and took our drink and food order all at once. The food did come out in a timely fashion with the stone soup pho coming out last still boiling.
Fresh coconut juice: so good! Not too sweet and not too sour! It was perfect!
Banh mi: 3/5, it was good but not that great.
Chicken wings: 5/5, delish! Came out hot!
Stone soup pho: 3/5, flavors weren’t all there but it wasn’t too bad. Fresh noodles were okay.
Overall, the experience and food wasn’t too bad but not the best. The lady only came to us when we had food coming out and didn’t check up on us but that was okay because she already gave us a pitcher of water and cups. It was good but I don’t know if I would come back.
