Longwood, Florida is a very cozy little town. My partner and I stopped by Pho Ben Thanh last week and we pleasantly surprised. Since we were hungry we ordered the Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls and both were very fresh and tasty. But it was the warm peanut sauce that accompanied the rolls that was the real star, We also order the steamed pot stickers and the half dozen that came with the dish were very good as well as the sauce that accompanied this dish. I ordered the Pork Belly with Egg and Rice which was sensational and my partner ordered the pork vermicelli bowl. Both were as good or better than we've had at other Vietnamese places in Central Florida. The bathroom was also very clean and fresh smelling. Nothing can ruin a nice meal than having a nasty bathroom, Happy to report that there is nothing to worry about in this regard. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and, with very reasonable prices, the entrees were $13.99 and very well worth it, Pho Ben Thanh is certainly worth a try if you find yourself in Longwood. read more

Pho Ben Thanh - Pork Belly with Egg & Rice. A true work of art.... - Vietnamese Near Me - Longwood, Florida

I got the egg rolls & steak pho. The pho was good, with my only gripe being the steak being slightly too thick & chewy. My fiancé loved his bánh mì! Service was on the slower side, but very very friendly. Our server was amazing and so nice! Overall, this is a good option for pho in the area. read more

Food was just ok, coming from New Orleans where there is an abundance of great Vietnamese restaurants, the food we had was not anything special. What was really disappointing was the level of service and the issues in ordering from their menu through Door Dash. 1. We ordered shrimp fried rice and received beef fried rice. 2. We ordered a Thai iced tea and a Taro iced tea but when I went to pick up the order, we were missing the Thai iced tea. The fried rice showed up on their screen as beef fried rice but then showed "shrimp" directly below the fried rice line, and the Thai iced tea was missing from their screen. I showed them our door dash confirmation and what we paid, and instead of correcting the order on their side based on our order confirmation, the elderly woman at the counter said she can make the Thai iced tea but we would have to pay, and was dismissive on the fried rice discrepancy. We will NEVER support that business again. read more

My husband's been raving about this place forever and now I get it. He always gets the pho (huge, hot, flavorful, he's obsessed) but I finally tried it for myself and wow. I got the pork belly plate and it was insane (actual name on menu is Thit Ba Roi Chay Toi Plate) The meat was super tender with this sweet caramel glaze, paired with rice, a fried egg, and a fresh little salad. They brought out a broth and this tangy vinegar sauce that added the perfect umami kick. I also had the coconut boba with strawberry pearls and it tasted like a piña colada. 10/10. The vibe inside is super cozy with plants, moody lighting, and lofi jazz playing. We'll definitely be back. I'm literally already planning my next meal here. Cozy, authentic, and sooo worth it read more

I got the steak noodle soup and it was SO good. Exactly what I needed. Food was very affordable, delicious and the ambiance was very chill and simple. The only negative feedback I have is that they don't offer a low sodium broth option which is helpful for people with medical conditions that want to enjoy pho. She didn't know how much sodium was in their broth either but so far my body hasn't reacted negatively so it might not be as high in sodium as expected, I also skipped adding too much sauce to help me keep it as low as possible. Overall it was a lovely quiet dinner with myself and I'm happy that I found this place! I will definitely be back. Thank you read more

This is where I go for my seafood pho on days when I don't want to cook. Service is reasonable for pick up (I've never waited a long time for food) and the staff have always been pleasant. The restaurant is cute and clean, but I've only ever gotten food to go. read more

Ordering over the phone took longer than expected as the person taking my order didn't understand what I ordered despite my alluding to their menu. I ordered Vietnamese crepe A8 which was actually not ordered often. When I got home, I was very disappointed to see that both the crepe and chicken wings (lemon pepper) were tasteless. The fries were over cooked. Very disappointing experience. read more

Pho Ben Thanh - Chicken Wings and Vietnamese crepe. - Vietnamese Near Me - Longwood, Florida

We wanted to have some hot soup after being out in the cold all day this weekend and found this place. We have been to pho places before and we ordered the usual beef and tendon pho noodles. It was ok. Just like any other pho we've had. Fried chicken wings were good. Service was quick. No complaints there. The surprise was when I looked at my receipt after paying the bill. The pot of tea we ordered was $10. And it was not even green tea. It was bags of Lipton tea at that! I have been to several Chinese, Vietnamese or Asian eateries and most places tea is complimentary. I don't even mind paying just like you would for a drink but $10 is just ridiculous! read more

Hey you guyyyyssssss! What a perfect day for a hot soup. And so it was vegetable pho for the win and wonton soup with egg noodles. Plus veggie spring rolls. The chilli oil was amazing. Flavors were authentic Vietnamese, fresh and oh so yummy! If you haven't the. You certainly need to go support this local company you won't be disappointed. read more

Terrible service DO NOT COME HERE!!! So my Mom & Dad ordered takeout from this restaurant. We've had their food before but this time when their meals were made, (took an extra 20 minutes with no customers) their food was horribly prepared. The meet portion was barely a handful, Brussels sprouts were wilted, and it gave my Dad a bad stomach ache. I will never be going back to this establishment ever again. Disgrace to the Vietnamese culture!!!! read more

First time and it was a take-out order. I had high hopes since the reviews seemed positive. Flavors were okay but the portions were extremely scarce. Photos speak for themselves. We got the pho combo, chicken bahn mi and the pork and veggie dish. Usually just a bowl of pho is filling but we were left still hungry after this meal. Disappointing and will not return, sorry :/ read more

Please please stay away from this place. Our group of 4 people got stomachache from eating here. Instant noodles taste better than what they have on the menu here. They are probably new owners because what I got does not look like pictures from online and you can tell the place is empty with no customers and no cars in front of the parking lot. This place is DEAD and that explained it. PLEASE STAY AWAY. read more

I had high hopes for this place since there is so much great Vietnamese food in the Orlando area. There were incorrect items in my order (Pork Bún instead of Shrimp Bún), missing/substituted items (More Pork Bún instead of Bún Rieu Soup), and overall low quality of the food. I ended up placing a separate order of Chicken Pho since I did not receive the Bún Rieu Soup I ordered and it was some of the strangest and most flavorless Pho I have ever had. It had raw cauliflower and broccoli in it (?), overcooked strips of chicken and what seemed like cheap store bought chicken broth. If you are looking for good Vietnamese food I would recommend taking a trip over to Colonial Dr. in Orlando and eating at any of the Vietnamese Restaurants over there. All are better than Pho Ben Thanh. read more

After an exhilarating climbing session at Aiguille Rock Climbing Center in Longwood, Florida, my craving for a satisfying meal led me to want some pho. As a lover of Vietnamese cuisine, I had high expectations for the chicken pho, and it did not disappoint! The tender slices of chicken added a generous protein boost to the dish, adding depth and substance to the already delightful flavors. The rice noodles had just the right texture and were cooked perfectly. They gave a nice variety of vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli which I am not traditionally used to in my pho meal but it was a nice touch! The restaurant provided a plate of fresh bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime wedges, and jalapeños which allowed me to customize the dish to my preferred taste. The portion size was generous, making sure my hunger was completely satisfied. Overall I recommend! read more

Ghost town. I was the only customer dining in. There were three to go orders picked up for delivery. Steak and meatball pho was the main with two pork and shrimp summer rolls with peanut sauce. The highlight was the summer rolls. They were acceptable. Lacking much flavor. The pho was embarrassing. As close to walking the edge of no flavor as possible! Not enjoyable. No interest from the server. I will not return. read more

This is not good Vietnamese food. The shaking beef (luc lac) was the worst I've ever had, and that is saying something. Summer rolls were mediocre. Banh mi and vermicelli were fine. read more

Pho Ben Thanh - Nothing left!!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Great find in Longwood! With few options for Viet north of the viet town near downtown. You get a great selection of classic favorites and authentic viet dishes. I tried the Bun Bo Hue and the Pork Rice Platter. The soup was a little saltier to my preference and the nuoc mam was too sweet for my taste, which made the rice platter dish very sweet. The summer rolls were huge! Always appreciate when the size of these are well worth the price and it came along with the great taste. The Bahn mi though was my favorite. I ate it all before I could take a picture! I enjoyed the baguette they used. If I could recommend that they use a little more daikon to cut through all the sweetness in the marinated meat, it would be 10/10 perfect! read more

Pho Ben Thanh is located in a strip mall in Longwood, Florida and provides the residents of Longwood a great place for pho and other Vietnamese favorites without having to drive to downtown Orlando. I am a huge fan of pho and this place did not disappoint. The broth, which is the foundation for great pho, had the complexity that only comes from the proper time consuming method of creating the broth. The ingredients were also on point. I love to make my pho fiery, so my broth is usually a dark red by the time that I am done adding the hot stuff to my pho. The service was very good. They were professional and friendly and my food was brought to me in a relatively quick manner. All in all, this was a great dining experience and one that I will give five stars for. If you find yourself in Longwood and are in the mood for Vietnamese food (or wanting to try Vietnamese food), I would certainly recommend here. read more

Great service, great food, !!!!. We always go for chicken noodle soup and the fried rice. Mmmmmm so good,..everything there is delicious. Un lugar donde donde siempre debes regresar, sin duda alguna el mejor restaurante vietnamita del area, . Comes sabroso y fresco. Y el servicio qué te digo. La dama que nos atendio es muy linda y atenta. read more

the pho here is good. I will be returning Update: They decided to raise the price $3 without telling me. My pho from $14 to $17 and I'm not sure why. $14 for Pho is already on the high side of the spectrum but going to $17 without telling your customers is bad business practice. That's dishonesty. I get the same thing every time so I'm unsure. Will not be returning read more

Came here after work with a coworker on empty stomachs absolutely starving, and let me tell you we were not disappointed!!! The only thing I will say it is warm in there so dress accordingly, but that did not stop us from having a wonderful experience!!! Food came out fast, huge portions for a great price, and was the tastiest meal I've had in a while. All around had a great time and will be back for more:) read more

Very good pad Thai. I wish it was a little bit more saucy, but it was still good. It was very flavorful especially with the extra lime I had on top. The crab Rangoon's were delicious. The Thai tea, which I forgot to get a picture of, was also very good too. Will definitely be back. read more

We arrived close to 8 PM and there was only one table with people sitting and eating. This restaurant is located in a strip mall that looks like it's about to go under and be developed into something else. Needless to say 75% of the store fronts were empty. The server/manager/owner is very nice I got everything we needed quickly. We ordered chicken wings and they were basically plain, fried chicken wings with no sauce. We ordered sweet chili sauce and they brought that out promptly and we proceeded to add some of the garlic chili paste to it. What was a little gross was that the condiment station look like it hadn't been dusted or cleaned in years. We forged ahead and ate the super cauldron smoking hot wings. We knew that we would not get sick given how hot they were. Within ordered some grilled pork summer rolls forgetting that meant that it was cold noodles with a wafer thin slice of grilled pork and then mostly vermicelli rice noodles and lettuce. The peanut sauce that came with the rolls was very nice. It was light brown in color, thick, with great peanut flavor and was not cloyingly sweet the way it can't be at some places. We had beef stew with egg noodles not realizing that what came out was basically a big bowl of soup with chunks, more correctly described as cubes of tender beef. The beef "stew" however was nothing like we expected. We also ordered the pork bun (boon) and the eggroll was fabulous - we wish we had ordered a whole plate of those. It was narrow, crispy and had great flavor. Lastly we ordered chicken fried rice to see how they did that as a barometer of the food. It was so bland we couldn't believe it. We were looking for salt and couldn't find it because it was hidden behind my purse, we added some of the basil leaves that came with the beef stew and that helped. Not sure this place will survive. Perhaps in a more crowded mall with some feedback they could improve the flavor, or maybe people in this area just don't know what good Vietnamese can taste like because it was pretty much lacking in flavor. read more

Pho Ben Thanh - Vietnamese Near Me - Longwood, Florida

It's hard to find good Pho outside of Mills50/Little Vietnam area. And if those spots are your benchmark for good Pho, Pho Ben Thanh may be a bit of a disappointment. If you crave Pho and can't make the drive near downtown Orlando, then this restaurant might be just enough to hit the spot for your vietnamese cravings. Their pho has all the right freshness and properly cooked vegetables, noodles, and broth, but lacked the depth of flavor. Their best dishes seem to be their grill options for their meats. For my vegetarian friends, they have my favorite tofu lemongrass, but it's not quite prepared the same. Their version is not fried with chilis, and the tofu seems like it was "pre-fried" It comes in a combo with seaweed and soft tofu soup, which tasted like the miso soup you would get in Japanese restaurants. The place doesn't seem to get busy, and they only had one server. He is friendly enough, but not engaged in his interaction with the customers. We had to ask for waters and utensils while our food came in various times. They seem to get a good amount of takeout orders. Overall, my experience left me feeling very generic. Nothing wow'd and nothing really disappointed. read more

Love this place. I constantly get take out from them. I order online or call it in with the item number I want. I always order the P2. (Pho Ga). This is the chicken pho. They pack the food so well. They separate the broth from the noodles so that they don't get soggy. They even bag the broth just in case it spills. I definitely recommend ordering food to go there. As the for the quality of the food, it is also great! Great portion size, and the chicken is always tender. I love how much noodles and veggies they give you too. I turn this meal into dinner and lunch (and that's the normal portion). Definitely try tho place if you haven't! read more

Ordered Bun Bo Hue and Ca kho via UberEats. They didn't have any ca kho, but didn't take it off the order and still charged me for it. Bun bo hue had thin slices of pork and beef like you'd use for hu tieu, not the typical tendon, pork hock, or beef shank. It came with bean sprouts and jalapeños with 3 leaves of Thai basil. Usually for bun bo hue you would have shredded lettuce and thinly slice banana root blossom. Pretty disappointing honestly. Not sure if it's because I ordered through Uber, but this BBH doesn't deserve to be called BBH. read more

Came here for lunch, and well, this restaurant was alright. They had a fan in the back kind of by the bathrooms, which was blowing in my directions, so I couldn't get over the smell of urine. The service was fine nothing bad or good to say about it. The pho' I ordered was actually pretty tasteful. The chilli sauce on the table looked like it had been there for quite some time, as it had crusted over the spoon. All was well until I found a green piece of a cleaning sponge in it, then I sort of lost my appetite. I didn't say anything, but I guess that is enough for me to not return. read more

I will never go back. I went for a pickup order and the lady at the front was so rude and disrespectful because I didn't know that my order was the one just sitting at the desk. There was no name on it, how was I supposed to know. So I waited at the counter and when she came over she rolled her eyes and shouted, "YOU DONT WANT TO PICK UP ANYMORE". The restaurant was completely empty on a Sunday afternoon and now I see why read more

They are always extremely friendly, fast and their pho is yum! Extra bonus, they have an awesome happy hour special with discounted pho!

Food was amazing and the staff was so wonderful! They helped us order and it was all delicious!

Family owned Mom & Pop restaurant with very delicious and authentic Pho, Spring Rolls, Broken rice (with pork, fried egg, pickled veg, etc) entree. Those are our favorites and they are a big win each time. My daughter who's a Pho expert and has tried every Vietnamese place in Central FL, gives their broth 5 stars. High praise she only gives one other place - if you read my reviews you'll figure out where the other one is - it's not close to Longwood however so having a *great* pho nearby is so amazing! read more

Great menu selection. Of note, they have some items on the chefs special menu which require a 30 minute notice. These items include their salt and pepper fried chicken wings, and their hot pots. Hot pots run about $50 and feed 2 to 4 people. Will have to return to try this. We tried a rice dish, a vermicelli noodle bowl, and the Phô. See pictures. All the items we tried were very good. The seafood ginger salad was in my opinion, the star. It had a very light ginger dressing and was full of seafood and fresh vegetables. Absolutely delicious. Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and flavorful. They also have a selection of other drinks including tea and shakes with Boba. Prices for dishes were slightly inflated, but there was a lot of food. Service was very good. Parking is ample. The restaurant is clean. I would return to eat here again. read more

Excellent!!! We were under the weather & as everyone knows, chicken soup is a go to when feeling a little sick.... Well the Pho Ga (chicken pho) here was one of the best chicken noodle soups I've ever had!! I actually had never tried pho, but I will definitely return here. Decent sized restaurant in a strip mall tucked away off of 434. Looks to be family owned & the service was also outstanding. Very friendly & attentive & you can tell that they take pride in their dishes. Good, fresh, quality ingredients. Whether you are a pho fan or if like me, it's your first time, I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

Our fried rice and pho were delicious. Good Service. Nice ambiance and clean dining room.

I've had the pho here a few times now and it has hit every time! The owner is short with replies and super appreciative of your business. I ordered out thrice and had doordash deliver today all with great results. I always get the seafood pho with added veggies. He accommodates and requests I make for additional condiments. The broth and deep and richly flavored. Shrimp are plump and generous and the fixings come perfectly portioned for full bites to the end. The price is right also! So thankful for a solid spot offering one of my fave comfort foods. Will put pics next time! read more

I love having a legit pho establishment nearby. This place serves some good pho. I recommend the steak pho. The broth is so comforting. As far as the chicken pho- I like to request them to not add in the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. To me, these change the flavor of the broth too much. The spring and summer rolls taste fresh and a meal here without either one of these would be incomplete! read more
