Truong Thanh Vietnamese Restaurant in Milpitas is a low-key…read morespot known for its thick crab noodle soup Banh Canh Cua and flaming-wok Bo Luc Lac shaking beef. I would go back for the Bo Luc Lac, skip the tomato rice to make it a low carb meal. I tried the Banh Khot, Banh Hoi and roasted quail. Service is efficient, considering only one waiter serving the front. It's a casual place good for family gatherings. Parking can be tough with many restaurants in the complex.

Saw a tik tok comment saying the banh canh cua is better than banh canh 3 mien in San Jose so of…read morecourse I had to come try it. It was indeed not better. The food here overall was alright and nothing special and lacking flavor a bit. * Goi cuon: This is one of their appetizers that consists of shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. It came with 3 rolls cut in half and was presented nicely. Each roll had e shrimps in there, thin rice noodles and lots of lettuce. I did like that it was more lettuce than noodle ratio. This was a good appetizer no complaints. * Banh canh cua: I got their regular bowl and it was pretty filling. Right off the bat when I tasted the broth I was a bit let down. It was lacking a lot of that crab umami flavor. I didn't see a lot of crab meat but there was more shrimp strips and sliced pork. The noodles were cooked good. Overall just for this one dish I would give it a 6/10. I think banh canh 3 mien def has better banh canh cua rich in flavor. * My mom got some egg noodle dish that looks fried. She did say it was average. * my grandma got their bun thit noung and said the meat was very salty. I do think how they plate their dishes is very visually appealing but the flavor overall was average. The workers here are very nice though and the interior is very cute. I would not come out of my way to eat here again unless I was in the area and really craving Vietnamese food. Their menu is also pretty extensive with lots of variety.

Three of us came Sunday night. No wait, but the restaurant was full. The service was quick, but also friendly in accommodating our requests (no cilantro, steamed sprouts) and explaining the food items. We ordered two set of the 7 course beef menu, banh xeo, and a grilled pork and shrimp rice plate. Lots of really fresh herbs and vegetables, and plenty of smaller rice papers were provided. Banh xeo - 5/5 table favorite. Really crispy and large, they didn't skimp on the filling. The coconut milk is very evident in aroma and flavor. Would come back for this again. Pork and shrimp rice plate - 4/5. Had a bit of that nice charred flavor. We may have over ordered, but think the portion may have been a bit small. Beef course menu: Beef Salad - 3/5. Tangy and refreshing with a lot of pickled onions. There wasn't a lot of beef, but not a bad starter. Beef in wine vinegar fondue - 2/5. Table didn't love this, as there were only 6 slices of beef. It's not like there's a lot of flavor soaked in, so it felt very lackluster. Grilled beef sausages - 4/5. Good balance of sweet and savory. Little bit of smokiness, and was quite juicy. Beef wrapped in lot leaf - 5/5. Another table favorite. Had the qualities of the beef sausage but a nice slight herbal and bitter note from the leaf. Beef roll with onions and lemongrass - 4/5. Great flavor and enjoyed the added chew to the roll. Beef porridge with the steamed beef patty - 3/5. Nothing special, we would've preferred this at the beginning of the meal since it's a mellower flavor. The beef patty was a little dry. Would definitely come back for the banh xeo and à la carte menu.

But just like the first time, I ended up with an upset stomach about 30 minutes after eating. I thought it was a fluke the first time, but now I'm not so sure. Service started out super fast. We had three different servers ask for our order within four minutes, even though we told the first person we needed a few minutes. Once we got our food, nobody checked on us. We never got our check either, so i had to go up to the register to pay. Parking is great though, big lot with plenty of spaces.

The lemongrass chicken came with veggies in a medium spicy sauce that was to die for. The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. The fried red rice reminded me of Spanish rice. All the portion sizes were large enough for a full leftover meal (we got a pho and a rice plate to share for each meal).

The best part is the food. Excellent selection of south east asian entrees , plus lots of vegetarian & vegan dishes as well. Extensive drinks menu (both alcoholic and non) .

The crown daisy and mushroom salad was exquisitely refreshing. The spicy stir fried squid will leave you salivating for more. And the braised beef noodle soup with the mustard green topping (please add the topping, it's worth it) was the perfect addition to wash everything down. This is one of those spots that make you think, "Gosh... Should I come again tomorrow?" Because it's that good. The staff was also super attentive. They made an effort to ensure our table had everything we needed to comfortably share the meals and topped off our cups with their fruit infused water every chance they got. There's a reason why there's a line out the door within the first hour of the day (for me that was a Saturday haha). So get there early to snag that table! It'll also help with the cramped parking situation as well.

I enjoyed this and portion size was great * crispy rice noodles - I forgot the name of this dish but it was rolled up rice noodles that were crispy with this pork belly and herbs and it was so yummy.
