I ordered a $22 appetizer and came out big dish barely have 4 pieces of chicken and so many green leaves. I have 4 family members barely can share. Never buy this dish again. I would not go back this Resturant again. All dishes I ordered for my family last night were very little portions. It is not worth it.i paid $108 and my family barely full. If I eat at other restaurants it costs less than this. read more

Ben Thanh Restaurant - Black Sprouts - Vietnamese Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

We ordered 3 pho. We all ordered different, 2 beef and 1 seafood. The seafood had the same soup base as the beef, the only difference between the 3 dishes is the toppings. The worst part of the meal wasn't just the soup base being the same for seafood and beef. It was the fact that the soup had a sweet taste. The place was a little bit dirty with the floor under our table with some food scraps. Service was okay. read more

I always go there for their pho but there has always been a waitress there who always seems like she is either mad or having a bad day mid age tan lady, anywho I had ordered pho, I didn't really pay attention to the one I had ordered because the only difference is the meat options but anywho I ordered it and saw it had tendon and decide not to eat it only the beef. This lady picks up our dishes and comments do you like tendon? I kindly tell her no I don't eat it, thinking she was trying to make conversation then she aggressively and judgy says "then why did you order it"? Last time I checked I pay for my food! Made me feel embarrasses like she doesn't have to be loud about it, so uncalled for. I didn't ask for her opinion. If this is the kind of service you all offer then i rather go somewhere else next time then have this terrible experience again:( read more

Great service. Very generous portions. I ordered the large and could barely finish it. I liked the way they served garnishes on the side to add as you like. Lots of meats and noodles. Maybe not the most flavorful pho but still good. I will return read more

Very consistent with their foods and service. Really enjoy their dishes- the place could use little update but the food is fantastic

Good ambiance, clean and welcoming. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The spring rolls are fantastic. I had a noodle dish with chicken and it wasn't anything special. Maybe I'll try it again because Vietnamese food is awesome. read more

Came here for a quick lunch after getting a new Tesla! Delicious pho, quick turnaround and good servers. The pho was flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed all the side condiments that came with it including the fresh herbs. I would recommend coming here for pho! read more

This was my first visit. It took a while for us to be waiting on, but once our order was taken our food arrived quickly. The crispy egg rolls were delicious, but we throughly enjoyed the cucumber salad. It was one of the best that I had ever had; it's my Asian go to salad. I really like the large tables, plenty of room for a large party. The only problem was my pineapple shell could have been fresher. We left with delicious Kragen water . read more

Overly priced very low level Service. Very dark interior and low energy interaction with staff. I had pho and I didn't really like it as much. I am a major pho eater and didn't like the combinations. Boba tea was decent and the wonton soup with veggies was decent I would order that again read more

Excellent food far is some of the best in Charlotte. I had read about the crispy quail and got to be honest. I wasn't a huge fan but the other food we had was amazing. read more

If you're looking for delicious and authentic Vietnamese food, Ben Thanh of the restaurants to check out in the Matthews/Charlotte area. I made a visit after a recommendation from a couple of friends. The restaurant has plenty of seating for small groups to larger groups. If you're like my friends and I, who orders A LOT of food, ask for a larger table (HAHA)! The menu is vast, but don't get overwhelmed. The staff is great and will assist with any questions you may have. Take your time looking over the menu because the food will come out quickly. What we ordered: - Banh Xeo (Yellow Pancake): Always a must when going to a Vietnamese restaurant that has it on the menu. It was delicious and ingredients were fresh - Bun Tom, Thit Nuong, Cha Gio: Pork... delicious. Imperial roll... delicious. Shrimp... delicous. Let's just say, the entire dish was very good! - Banh Uot Dac Biet: Everything was flavorful. Overall, the dishes we had were flavorful, ingredients were fresh, and was delicious. We were pleasantly happy with everything that we got. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Great Vietnamese restaurant. Wonton noodle soup and stirred fried noodle (Hu tiu xào khô) are great!

A casual restaurant serving up great taste with an extensive menu. If you are in the Matthews area or passing through, and looking for Vietnamese cuisine, this will be the first recommendation I give you. The restaurant offers traditional Vietnamese food items such as: Bubble Teas Fried Spring Rolls and Summer Rolls Rice and Noodle Dishes Salads Soups including Seafood Noodle and Pho Steamed and Grilled Dishes Vegetarian Dishes Vermicelli House Specials Featured in the review: APPETIZERS (ROLLS): The sauce is what brings the flavor to these rolls, but the texture of the rolls completes the experience. Both parts work hand in hand. Both rolls are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: GARDEN DELIGHT ROLLS (BI CUON - $6.50) - Shredded roast pork, seasoned with garlic, roasted rice, rolled in the rice paper with fresh lettuce, mint, basil and beansprouts. Served with sweet and sour garlic sauce. JICAMA ROLLS (BO BIA - $6.50) - Jicama, Chinese sausage, fresh lettuce wrapped in rice paper. Served with peanut sauce. TRADITIONAL FOODS: VIETNAMESE YELLOW PANCAKE (BANH XEO - $16.95) - Vietnamese yellow pancake made with rice flour, stuff with shrimp, sliced pork and beansprouts. Comes with fresh lettuce, basil, cilantro, and mint. Served with sweet and sour garlic sauce. - The taste of the pancake is incredible as it has a slight sweetness to it. The meat inside is so well-seasoned and flavorful, I felt the greens weren't necessary. The pancake and garlic sauce are dynamic by themselves - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. FRIED RICE DISHES: ROAST PORK FRIED RICE (COM CHIEN XA XIU - $13.95) - Roast pork fried rice with eggs and white and green onions. - Well-seasoned. I loved the texture of the fried rice and the blend of all the ingredients. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. DRINKS: MANGO BUBBLE TEA ($5.95) - Incredibly delicious, very sweet and creamy - MANDATORY read more

I was surprised how large the interior is because from the outside, it looks small. They have a wide menu selection and are quick with preparing the food. I tried their Bo Kho (Street Side Beef Stew: beef shank with tendons and carrots, which comes with choice of rice noodles, egg noodles, or French bread, $15.95). I was very impressed with how tender and juicy the beef was! The chunks of beef were so delicious. The broth was so-so, and the carrots did not taste good though. I was surprised that the broth was not more flavorful, but I do recommend the beef. read more

I came in here on a weekday afternoon and it was not busy. I was seated instantly and the service was quick. The menu is very extensive. I started with the Summer rolls which were fresh and delicious. For my meal I ordered #47 which was a vermicelli stir fry with 3 different meats. Everything tasted great! read more

I came here for lunch and and ordered #68 a special rice combo (Bbq pork, shredded pork, egg omelette) and Pho Dac Biet. I'm surely disappointed with the food. The menu for #68 is misleading. There's no bbq pork. It's a bbq pork patty (more like pork flavored patty, not real bbq pork) and the shredded pork has 3 thin slices of pork and the rest is some crunchy white stuff. The pho is rather pricey for $13.95 with small amount of noodle and beef (low quality) Overall, two stars for the food, service and ambiance is generous. read more

Broke a 3 day clear liquid diet for a procedure with some rly great fresh food from Ben thanh and it was exactly what I needed. The food came out quick , was all fresh and well prepared and I had leftovers , the thai tea was one of the best I've had, so was the Vietnamese coffee, was also pleasantly surprised when the bill came with fortune cookies AND two little I'm assuming some sort of shortbread cookies, which were super good . Definitely will be coming back read more

Excellent place. I moved from California and have been looking for my pho place in the area. The broth is amazing and the food is tasty. The service is excellent read more

Ben Thanh is a restaurant that you can easily miss but you don't want to miss out on. The food was very fast and tasty as well. The place is rather large and I wonder if it use to be a all you can eat buffet ? Anyways, the people were very friendly and nice. The menu is overwhelming with so many choices that you honestly just have to know what you like or don't like. You really run into the paradox of choice. We got the steam shrimp rolls to start with along with #44 and it was pretty good ! I added spice because I like it spicy!!! You should come to eat here if you want good food and laid back environment. read more

Pho is special food I love, fast service and price is reasonable. Space is private and clean. Will be back and will be ordering to go.

Very disappointed for a 4.3 star place. You could barely smell or taste the pho (diluted). The banh xeo was soggy so it basically ruin the whole thing. Pho tai, banh xeo, and bo bia for $42 was such a waste. Overall the service was good, but would never come back because of the food. read more

I've been going here for years, even at their previous location. I love all that I've tried on the menu. My favorite being the seafood pho. The broth is very flavorful & everything comes out quickly. If you go, you definitely have to try their crispy rolls - the only thing is I wish more than 2 rolls came with the order cause they're that good to me. They have numerous items on their menu, something for everyone. Friendly staff every time I visit. It's my favorite pho place i've tried. read more

Was really in mood for Pho so I ordered #24 Pho Bac Diet, the soup was delicious, forgot to take a picture! My husband had #39 Vermicelli curry. It was also very tasty, going to switch it up and order next time. They were quick with service. We'll be back. read more

We found here using Yelp and location is convenient for us. Their broth is very impressive. Service is great when we went there. Thanks.

Omg flies everywhere. The worst Ramen bowl and greasy egg rolls. Waitress was never nice

Been back over and over. Hard to find good asian food that is not tricking you with fish sauce. They have an amazing Pancake you can get (no eggs) with Tofu and Veggies. Great choices for Sake. Friends who eat meat love the Curry and the Pho. Great service will be back soon. read more

I came back to try it out their pho again and I must say its delicious! The beansprouts are fresh looking so as the other fresh ingredients. Last year the fresh ingredients wasn't always fresh. However, this year they really improved themselves. Bravo read more

As I mentioned on a tip: Outstanding menu. They cover the waterfront of Vietnamese and other SE Asian dishes. Multiple options in each category and additional options as to meat or no meat and what kind. Very clean restaurant and the wait staff is very helpful with suggestions. Beer, saki and wine are served. Parking is in the strip mall lot. No problem. Vegetarian options exist. I had the Hu Tieu Xao Uot which is a wet noodle with vegetables, choice of meat (I did shrimp) and a brown gravy. Did not care for it, mostly as the gravy was thick and gooey. I actually had the thought that they must have a big budget line item for corn starch or another thickener. The gravy ruined the dish. It was just gummy. Will be meeting with another Yelper later so will get his suggestions. Will most likely stick with rice dishes and some other noodles. Good service. Will come back. Was a very popular spot for lunch and there is plenty of room for diners and groups. read more

Judging by the pho soup, I'll hv to come again n again. Tasty without being overwhelmingly salty or sweet. Even the bun #40 was perfectly done. Shrimps BBQ'd on a stick on it n the BBQ beef soft n tasty, not dry like most pho places. I'm happy here. It's like finding home 061017: #26 Pho w/beef round n tendon. Interesting tendon. Was told they received the wrong tendon in shipment. This one looked like a sliced mushroom but the texture was nice n chewy. Never had it b4. Never knew tendon could b different like that. The beef round was tough but that's cuz it's the round. Was told if you want the softer beef that #28 Pho with the brisket is what to order next time. Looking forward! Now the #40 Bun this time was again very tasty with all the different meats AND a hint of basil which made it special. This bun so far is the best I've ever eaten, really, n I've rated quite a few of them. I'll be trying other dishes next time. Hope u try this place!!!!! U really will come back again n again. I promise! read more

YELLOW PANCAKE!! I wished I lived closer, but I would definitely be here all the time. Went on a weekday when it wasn't busy and the food was so delicious. Located in Windsor Square in a hard-to-see spot across from the Sam's club, you can see the main anchor stores of JC Penny, Office Depot, and HHGregg (now closed) off of Independence, but Ben Thanh is neighbors with the Firehouse subs and Cici's Pizza. The restaurant also has a small private room for large group dinners and parties if needed. There's also some unique seating along the left side of the restaurant if you want a full experience (booths that box you in). The menu is a little daunting, but still navigable. My biggest gripe is that I cannot eat everything in one sitting. Need to come back and try their pho, but their yellow pancake is solid and I have dreams about it. read more
