Indulge in our exotic cuisine served in an elegant dining area or have a taste of a tropical drink in our modern lounge, what ever the occasion may be....Ben Thanh is the perfect place...
Service is very slow here. Our waitress disappeared several times over the course of the meal. She got the order wrong, forgot our rice and noodles, and didn't refill our water glasses. Then it took ten minutes to get our bill.
While the service is terrible, the food is reasonable value for the money. Portion size is generous. So if you're willing to wait through the terrible service, or if you don't go a peak times, it's a decent place to eat.
The decor is well done, although every single table seems to have a short leg.
At peak times, it is very noisy.
Our neighbors have been raving about this place...
Our neighbors have been raving about this place for a little while and so my husband and I went there for the first time last Friday and it was amazing! This place has by far the best atmosphere in the KW area and very tasty Thai food. Our server was amazing and extremely helpful (since we did not know what to order and the menu had such a wide selection). Hands down, this place is the best Asian restaurant we’ve been to in the Tri-cities.
When the food arrived, the server was in such a rush he forgot the sauce for our rice dishes. We had tried to flag someone down but to no avail and began nibbling at the dry rice and meat.
The atmosphere seemed very busy even though a lot of the tables were empty.
Big selection to choose from, although nothing translated into Vietnamese for some native speakers. Not a big deal.
Most of the time I saw 2 waiters serving all the tables and about 4 waitresses hanging around the bar.
Atmosphere was good, place is totally re-done. However, was not happy with the food presentation or quality. I had the chicken pad. I had to call the server over 2 times to get the right sauces, being that they don't leave them on the table. Not sure if it was really chicken. But I did find 3 huge pieces of skin all greasy within the Pad. So maybe it was. I was disappointed with the portions, having at the 2 locations in London for lunch. I found there the 'dinner' size which I ordered was larger. Anyway, I wasn't over whelmed like i was in London. I don't know if I would go back.
My wife and I just tried this place a few weeks ago. Surprisingly reasonable prices given how nice the atmosphere is. Service was strong--when I asked the waitress what she'd recommend, she was quite happy to describe several dishes. I had a curry dish that tasted a lot like a different curry dish that I used to get when I lived in Kingston, a flavour I've been looking for since I left! The only downside was the deserts, which were prefab and tasteless.
