Good solid Vietnamese food. I've returned several times. Nothing special but if you like Vietnamese it's decent.

Great food and good services. Will definitely return. Convenient if you want to shop at Trader Joe's.

Can't complain about the pho being it was in Lafayette. But it's not nearly as good as the ones in Oakland or San Jose. The soup was flavorful but lacking richness. I got the spicy noodle soup, it is not bun bo hue. Lol I don't care what they tell you. This is not a version of BBH, there is no lemon grass flavor at all. Putting some hot sauce in a regular pho and sell it to me as BBH is kinda disappointing. The place is clean, service was friendly, being it is in Lafayette, I'd give it a pass. But I would go to Oakland for more authentic Vietnamese food read more

Delicious broth and amazing service. They were unbelievably nice and even brought out a new bowl of soup for a friend running late. The ambiance was perfect for lunchtime! Everything was so tasty and I am definitely coming back! read more

This is a hidden gem for Vietnamese and other Asian spirited dishes. All the food is terrific and believe it or not, the french fries are startling great! You can't go wrong with anything that suits your fancy, be it noodles, Vietnamese sandwich or a rice bowl. The ambience and service are first rate. more over, the prices are very reasonable, indeed! We look forward to going with our adult kids to enjoy a friendly atmosphere and great food! read more

Solid new pho place! So amazing that there's now a pho place right in Lafayette. I go to TJ's more often than I should and I love a good bowl of pho, so Pho Benny is perfect for that! Only downside is that a bowl of pho runs close to $15. Thank goodness TJ's and Pho Benny doesn't share a parking lot, otherwise, I'd be in a bit of trouble. The fam and I ordered some pho, Thai iced tea, and Vietnamese iced coffee from Pho Benny. It all tasted good, and since we ordered during the early stages of their opening, there were some mishaps. The major one was when we were trying to pay, that took a while and our food was just sitting there. The raw steak pho we ordered didn't cook well after pouring the soup over it because it wasn't warm enough. That was the major downside of our experience. Otherwise, we got the following - Special Combo Pho- I love me some special combo pho with a great variety of beefs, tendons, tripe, etc. it only had a couple small tendon pieces, but it's pretty standard for these types of pho not to have much tendon pieces in there. The noodles tasted really fresh and the bowl with it all was generally pretty good. The broth wasn't really warm as mentioned above, so sriracha helped to give another dimension of heat. Eye Round Steak Pho- the husband doesn't like the fatty meats and various textures so he usually gets the steak pho. The flavors were good, but he wasn't able to fully enjoy it because of the slowness of service to get the food and such. Chicken Pho- the daughter really liked this. She wanted it again shortly afterwards. Amazing compliment. Thai Tea- the Thai tea we received didn't come with the cream inside. Not sure if that was intended, but it still tasted great without the milk/cream. Vietnamese iced coffee- thick, caught us a bit off guard, but it was delicious. Yum. The packaging was nice, neatly packaged and easy to assemble. Standard bean sprouts, basil, etc came in a bag on the side. Sauce packets, etc. Would come back to try a bit more. read more

Best Pho in Lafayette! Solid service, awesome food, good people. With a couple locations I wondered if all were similar in their quality and care, they are and not just similar, I adore the team at this location and always make me feel most welcome. No notes read more

Pho Benny - Vietnamese Near Me - Lafayette, California

i ordered delivery a few nights ago via uber eats & it was so good that i've decided this is my new go-to local pho place! the beef balls (my favorite part) were perfect! Even though they're similar at all pho places, i can tell differences and these were amazing. They followed my special instructions for extra jalapeños, which was appreciated as not all places read (and/or care?) about order notes. it was so good i'm ordering more tonight!!!! and this time i'm getting 4x extra meatballs (usually i get 2x) and trying their shrimp spring rolls as well. i can't wait! read more

Amazing food, MUST GET THE SPRING ROLLS!! I have the chicken curry and it was so filling and delicious. One of the owners, Cody had such great customer service and truly makes sure his customers are happy with the food. 10/10! read more

Order a pork banh mi and it was delicious!! The Meatball Pho broth was flavorful but I was not a fan of the meatballs. They were rubbery and had an artificial taste to them. read more

Food was delicious, and service was great! Would definitely recommend the lemongrass chicken. The beef in the pho was excellent, but there could have been more of it. read more

I've been looking for a good Vietnamese spot in the area since my favorite one closed up during pandemic. Both the chicken and beef pho here are incredibly flavorful and can add some life and comfort back to you when needed and their banh mi are delicious and don't disappoint in terms of taste and quality. This spot has quickly turned into one of my favorites and you can definitely tell how much the owner cares for his restaurant and food. read more

Delicious pho and delectable spring rolls - crispy and full of flavor, without a bit of grease. They were very busy and we chose to eat our lunch outside on their small back deck. I look forward to trying much more of their large menu. read more

First time here with my mom on Tuesday 10/26/2021. I had been craving Vietnamese food, specifically rice paper rolls, for a few weeks prior. I had the shrimp rice paper rolls and seafood pho. The rolls were fresh and came with a yummy peanut sauce. Cravings satisfied! I took the pho home and it made two night's worth of leftovers. Mom had a combination stir fry, which I think she liked. Service was friendly. Only reason I'm giving a 4 instead of a 5 star review is that the restaurant is noisy. We were right in the middle of the restaurant where the "foot traffic" was so maybe other parts might have been quieter. Fortunately, the food more than made up for the noise. Would I come back? Absolutely! read more

Pho soup doesn't taste sharp or as strong as normal. Also they didn't have pho noodles when I visited on a Sunday night. Meat quality was good though. Service is kind! Nothing to complain about there. Ambiance is also pretty fancy for a pho restaurant. read more

I ordered the Pho with rare beef and braised beef to take-out. The thai basil garnish was old, wilted and slimy, and had to be thrown out. The rare beef was so chewy I had to spit it out. The vermicelli salad was OK. read more

Really great pho place! Really good meat in the pho. Handles a large group easily. Like many Asian restaurants they are being hurt by bogus legal action totally unrelated to their food quality or taste. Support this place so we don't lose a great pho restaurant. read more

Delicious Pho and other Vietnamese food in a lovely setting. On a recent visit we samples: - Beef Pho - Chicken Pho - Fresh Shrimp rolls - Grilled port bahn mi Everything was great and we needed more of the shrimp rolls they were such a standout. Service was good and food arrived quickly. Cost was a little above average for Pho spots in the East Bay area, but the location in downtown Lafayette is great (just next to Trader Joe's). read more

A favorite of mine for no-frills, consistently solid food. They do a great job packing take out orders, and the interior is clean and pleasant. Parking can be a bit crazy depending on the time of day. read more

Yum! A new brand new Vietnamese cuisine in town! Service is warm, friendly and quick. The indoor seating is spacious and welcoming! Lots of modern touches all around! Looks like a full bar!

No complaints there! Try it out ! My new go to! read more

Pho Benny is located in downtown Lafayette, across the street from Trader Joe's. The restaurant offers to-go orders, as well as indoor and outdoor dining, including a small outdoor deck to the rear. Ample metered parking to the rear of the restaurant. Service was attentive and friendly. Generous portions provided. Fresh ingredients and flavorful food. Limited range of vegetarian options available throughout the menu however. Appreciate the use of reusable utensils (particularly the chopsticks and water carafe). Definitely will come back. read more

Spacious vietnamese restaurant serving all of the staples like noodles, rice plates, sandwiches, and soup. Staff was very attentive and great about taking my order and bringing the check without delay but not rushing me, refilling water, etc. Impressive pho. The broth was fragrant and flavorful while the meat was tender and juicy. You can pick your own combinations of meat (e.g. tripe, flank steak, round, meatballs, etc.) for a single price. The flank+round was great. Noodles were pretty standard, never had exceptional ones. Fresh spring rolls were good but not exceptional. They were a little less tidy than I like them with the noodles sort of stray in the wrap. Big shrimp and large serving size justifies the price- you get 4 rolls per order at about 10 bucks which is a good deal for bay area vietnamese restaurants. The peanut dipping sauce was a little weird - they brought it out STEAMING HOT. Never seen it hot before and don't known why that would be the case unless they're microwaving some frozen sauce or heaving it over the stove, but I've never had to use heat to make my own. Decent although a little sweet. Overall would go back to try the sandwiches and order pho. read more

The food is simple and clean! The proprietor is no nonsense and friendly. I've been here several times for dinning in and take out and have never had a bad experience. read more

No one: Literally no one: Entitled gentleman with his family of three who apparently was not into the k-pop playing on the tv and literally did not care that everyone else in the restaurant was totally fine with it too: "ESPN? ESPN??" The poor owner scrambled to get the remote and change the channel but couldn't. Handed it over to him where proceeded to doomscroll to find a suitable channel before giving up after 10 minutes and now we're all staring at a still image of Justin Bieber. Thanks bro. We all saw you. Next time maybe just leave it alone and stick to your sports bar. read more

I have eaten here many times. It has become one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. The food is always fresh, flavors are delicious and preparation is always consistent. The staff is all about taking care of each costumer. They actually recommended how I could order a dish I love in a way that would make it the best I've ever had. It meant more work for the cook but that was never a thought or issue. They really care about your happiness with the meal you order. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. The ambiance is casual. The food is alway delivered fresh, fast and hot to your table. I enjoy all the Pho, Pork Bahn Mi (sandwich), grilled combo and crispy egg rolls. The vegetarian options are also amazing. If you are looking for a great place to eat Vietnamese you don't need to look further than Pho Benny's! read more

I was CRAVING a good vermicelli bowl and decided to give Pho Benny a try after finding it on Uber Eats. We're relatively new to the area, and I haven't been super impressed by other local restaurants so I've been ordering from different places in search of my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered 2 of the Shrimp Pork and Eggroll vermicelli and a side of extra egg rolls - it was DELICIOUS. My husband said it was the best he had ever had. The egg rolls were still super hot and crispy by the time it arrived and i demolished the entire thing in one sitting. We have yet to visit the restaurant in person, but based on the food alone I would definitely recommend.. and might actually have to go in for dinner tonight read more

Took my family, food was delicious. Great service! Rec the lemongrass if you want spicy

I really do like this place for the Bahn Mi but for some reason tonight the Pho tasted like it was microwaved it just didn't seem fresh. I didn't recognize any of the servers...Not sure if it was one bad night but the soup was definitely lacking...oh wells. read more
