    Crispy duck with peanut sauce
    Chris J.

    My hubby and I have eaten here many times since we moved to Cambridge. Located in downtown Cambridge, you can find parking on the streets or at a municipal parking lot behind the restaurant. I like getting a bowl of pho with rare beef, number 22 on the menu. I also tried their rice paper spring rolls, fried spring rolls, coconut shrimp, crispy duck with peanut sauce, pork vermicelli, ginger tea and more. They have been decent, but my favourite has been the pho. Service is usually friendly and efficient. It is a narrow restaurant, so it can seat more people than you would expect. Atmosphere is casual, and they do seem to have a bar where you can order drinks.

    Unexpectedly good, didn't expect to have the authentic type of Vietnamese food in a small town.

    Ben Thanh - Other asian restaurants do steamed chicken but this was horrible, they gave me the worst and shrivelled up pieces.

    Served us the wrong dish (beef instead of pork), ignored our religious dietary restrictions, and…read morenever apologized.I had a very upsetting experience at Ben Thanh that I feel I need to share. I ordered the pork spring rolls, which I've had before. This time, the taste and texture were very off -- when I opened the roll, I realized they had given us beef with avocado instead. This was extremely distressing as we don't eat beef due to religious and cultural reasons. We immediately asked to speak to the manager, but instead they sent a staff member who didn't understand us and said things like "Is it good?" and "What do you want me to do?", without offering a single apology. After insisting, the manager eventually came over but continued to show zero accountability. Instead of apologizing, she kept asking, "So what will make you happy?" and tried to offer a replacement spring roll -- as if that solved the issue after we had already eaten part of a dish we never would have touched knowingly. To make it worse, she later said they had given us a discount "for both dishes" -- meaning she still expected us to pay for the one they got completely wrong, just with a small discount. I told her clearly that I would not pay for a dish I didn't order. We ended up paying for the other dish, but couldn't even finish it because it was contaminated by the spring roll. And the worst part? Not one person ever said "sorry." As a university student, I didn't go there looking for free food. I just expected to be treated with respect. But the way they handled their mistake -- with coldness, blame-shifting, and complete lack of empathy -- was honestly shocking. If you have any dietary restrictions or simply expect basic customer service, I strongly recommend thinking twice before eating here.

    I tried the pho, fresh rolls, and spring rolls. All were excellent. Having tried a lot of pho…read moreplaces in Toronto, I actually preferred the pho here. Soup was nicely flavoured and the toppings were very fresh. The fresh rolls were nicely done - the peanut spicy sauce was flavourful. The crispy spring rolls were crunchy on the outside and kind of fluffy on the inside. For some reason I wasn't a huge fan of the tea. All in all, the place seemed clean and the service was friendly. Nice place for viet food.

    Ben Thanh - Yes I ate two pieces to try it out, I am surprised they didn't offer me more chicken or replacement chicken.
