Ben Thanh North

I’ve only been to the North location. my wife and I live to eat here. The Pho and Ramen are our “go to’s”. my wife and I both like the Laksa Ramen. 101 Pho for me, and my wife likes the 105 pho Service here is great! We haven’t had bad service over the past 3 years of going here. Their suggestions for us are pretty spot on! I can’t say enough good things about their staff! It’s a nice setting, great for that date night or family outing. My only suggestion is try to sit as far away from the door as possible during winter time.

Pretty interior, great food and friendly service makes for our new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. My Pho loving spouse gives this soup 5*. Excellent spring rolls as they should be - a touch of tumeric to give a golden exterior, slightly chewy and served with a classic Nuoc Cham. Nice pot of Jasmine tea accompanies a lovely meal. This place is hidden around the corner of this busy mall, north side facing Gainsborough.

Highly recommend going when they open! We went on Sunday at 12, it started picking up after we were done. I ordered the specialty pho and the soup tasted very flavourful and fresh, nice amount of beef to noodles. Nice portion size as well for a regular bowl! I was full and for $14 not bad! Their rice dishes and vermicelli bowls are a bit more pricey than I believe other restaurants $17. I didn’t love how they made their chicken for the bbq rice dish tbh. It’s not bad just not great. Chicken is tender and great portion size but a bit on the oily side and not much taste of lemon grass (I forgot to take a picture). Service was very nice! She was super patient with my family ordering which I appreciate and checked on us well. Thank you, I’d come again and recommend.

We came in around 8:10 pm and were told they close at 9 pm, which was fine. We knew we could eat quickly. We ordered Shrimp Pad Thai and Ramen Chicken Noodles. They were passable. My teen daughter said: "This is not Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese or Thai food." She was correct. Although the food tasted okay, it felt like they dump sauces from a bottle onto it. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes.
