I went to Ben Thanh with a friend for dinner, it was in the middle, it's winter, we both wanted soup, it was exactly what we were looking for.The woman serving was very nice. I was about 15 minutes earlier than my friend, and she happily brought the menus and checked on me once until my friend got there, not bothering me. She brought me jasmine tea that was blistering hot and delicious. The place it clean, and well kept.First we ordered the Rocket Shrimp, they were really good, crispy, the shrimp were on the verge of overcooked, but also, it's kinda the nature of that particular beast. The sauce that they came with was ourstanding.Then I order bun bo hue. I was going to get the bun reiu, but she talked me out of it because she said it's really fishy. It was really good soup, the broth was good, and seasoned well. The veggies were all good and fresh. My friend ordered the big bowl of pho, and said it was good as well. On the way out, I ordered a pho to go and a banh mi. The sandwich was also pretty good, had a good pickled veggie mix on it, and the meat was good.I definitely want to go back and try some more items on the menu, it's on the top of the list of places for date night.

By far one of the best egg rolls I've ever had! It's a nice comfy restaurant. Gives off a feel at home kinda vibe. Staff were great too. The food is also excellent.I ordered the pho with everyone except meatballs. My wife got the egg noodle duck soup and we also got Vietnamese egg rolls. The pho was hot, loaded in protein and plants! The broth was full of flavor. Noodles were cooked just right. The egg noodle duck soup was just as good but the broth to me didn't have as much flavor as it could have. The egg rolls were stuffed to the max. So much flavor to it! Overall this was a great restaurant. I really enjoyed the food and would definitely go back in the future.

This place should have more reviews. I came over from tampa to try this place and it beats everything out the water. Fish sauce, quality, taste, portions etc was top tier. We enjoyed everything we ordered.Service was 7.5/10 they were slow at taking orders and giving is menus when they weren't busy. Otherwise everything was fine. There's probably 7 tables in there and dark lighting which I didnt like. Would recommend and come again otherwise

I saw a reel on Instagram about Ben Thanh Restaurant and convinced my family to check it out. Overall, the food was okay but the service was the worst part of our experience there. Our server constantly forgot our food or just would not come around to our table. We had no eating utensils in the caddy (no chopsticks, spoons, or napkins). I never got my drink. Inside the restaurant is very hot and not much circulation, so I really wanted my drink. I ordered the steamed clams, Thai style. The clams were very small and had no flavor. I dipped them in nuoc mum for taste just so I could finish the pot.For my entree, I ordered the noodle bowl with grilled pork and shrimp. My son and I split the food. It was pretty standard and a good size portion. Nothing exceptional to note, since I could get this dish at any other Vietnamese restaurant but also get it with better service.You go up to the cashier to pay. Something our server failed to say anything about until we had to go up to the kitchen to even ask how to pay our bill. And of course, our bill was incorrect.Three stars because I feel bad giving it less since it's a locally owned restaurant. I will not be back here and would not recommend to anyone, unless you're right there in the area.

Many people could drive right by and miss this hidden little gem, but it would be a mistake. Pinellas Park is full of great Vietnamese restaurants, and this one doesn't disappoint. Portion sizes were very large, especially for the price point. Good was served warm and was really enjoyable. Service was great and I will definitely be back.

We stopped by to try thai hot pot ($40) because previously we tried bo nhung giam ($20) and it was really good. But what we received was not really thai hot pot. More like seafood pot? It doesn't have the tom yum flavor... no sour flavor? No spicy flavor?? the mussels were also very old and had a weird taste, we didn't eat any of it. We had to ask for like 3 limes to squeeze it in the pot because it was too sweet. The veggies were broccoli and carrots? I understand we came in at 8pm but if you don't have the right ingredients for thai hot pot please let us know so we can choose a different dish, but instead you just give us whatever you had left for veggies which is quite unacceptable to us. We left feeling very disappointed because the first time we had pho in stone bowl and bo nhung giam it was quite decent. I don't think I can return to give it another try. If you do stop by here, just get pho and not hot pot.

Great Vietnamese!! 91 menu items!! Fast service. Super casual atmosphere. Tried (#83) sliced Catfish w/caramel sauce. Very good. The (#68) beef stir-fried w/lemongrass & rice plate was delicious. Not greasy. The surprise was being served fish sauce as a condiment to the rice. A first for me. YUM!! Also tried (#27) BBQ pork Bánh Mì for only $5.99. No paté on this one. but still tastes great!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!

Our new FAVORITE Vietnamese Restaurant!Our inaugural visit, with many more to come. The food and spices are spot on. The best egg rolls are truly the Best. I had the combination Pho in a stone bowl which keeps the soup hot till the last slurpped drop.Go! Thank me later :)
