Food: Unforgettable taste and value

Thanh Binh delivers when it comes to taste explosion and value. The crispy Fried Calamari is a standout, overflowing with generous portions. It's the Bun Rieu, however, with its flavorful broth and perfect noodles, that steals the show for many. The Oxtail Pho could compete for the title, its tender meat falling off the bone with exceptional flavor. The portions are a mixed bag and may catch some off-guard, but at the end of the day, this restaurant offers authentic recipes and a freshness that enhances the overall dining experience. The diverse menu takes your taste buds on a trip to Vietnam without leaving your table.

  • Great Variety

    Diverse, extensive menu options are well-regarded and appreciated by customers.

  • Okay Portions

    Mixed feelings on portions; advised caution on large sizes, varies by cook.

Vibe: Underwhelming sensory retreat

The ambiance at Thanh Binh leaves much to be desired. The decor is described as dated and grungy. Bright, stark lighting does not lend itself to a cozy dining experience and the interiors are consistently referred to as worn and tired. Despite the underwhelming aesthetics, the space is not overly loud and provides adequate room for conversation and relaxation.

  • Bad Buzz

    Place tired and dated inside, not much to look at.

Perks: Swift service counteracts lacklustre parking

Parking at Thanh Binh can be a real wrangle, but the efficient service and inclusive menu options balance the scales. The restaurant staff is described as fast, friendly, and attentive. The menu is impressively diversified, catering to vegan and vegetarian choices, and even accommodating kids. However, limited seating can mean you might spend some time waiting for your table or prefer to call in for pickups.

  • Great Service

    Fast, friendly, attentive service consistently highlighted as outstanding.

  • Okay For Groups

    Mixed experiences with space and group accommodation; mostly positive.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Limited seating may require waiting or calling ahead for pick-up.
