Come enjoy an appetizing dish at Ben Thanh Restaurant. They are open after-hours all week. You can get there by bicycle and public transit. They are established in a location packed with restaurants, stores and coffee shops.
Love it. Food is just as good as downtown, but the decor and ambiance are way better. Our server seemed a bit confused, but it was early on a monday night, so I think she was new.
Thursday night is our "Family Dine Out Night". We often go to Ben Thanh because we LOVE the food, the service, and the prices. The servers are attentive and friendly. The food is always delicious. And, we can afford to regularly eat out at prices like these.
When you are seated you are given a menu and a slip of paper and pencil. You go through the menu and write down the item number on the paper. When you are finished a server comes by and confirms your order and takes it to the kitchen. There is not a designated server for your table. All the servers serve all the tables so don't be surprised if two or three servers come by to ensure all is well.
The bathrooms are clean and easy to access. This is a consideration for us because one of us is slightly disabled and cannot do stairs well. My son and I always rate bathrooms at different establishments. It is our own little thing. And, we would give their bathrooms an 8 out of 10.
Back to the food: My husband always orders the 501 and 128 Medium size. He absolutely loves this soup. It is very spicy hot and super delicious. He cannot go for long without craving this soup and we need to go back. My son always gets the 510, 422B, 34, and 86. I alway order 510, and 303. My son and I sometimes vary it a bit, but not often. These are our favourites.
We have introduced many friends to Ben Thanh and they all love it and go back over and over again. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
