It was a good curry, but nothing differentiated it from any other good Thai curry I've had. The authentic Thai interior provided a good dining environment. The service was great! Our waitress was very sweet, and our food came out in record time; probably about 5-7 minutes. Verdict: I would totally come back here to try their other stuff. I've read good things about their breakfast!

This was our second visit to this location of Ben Thanh. Our first visit was 10 or so years ago and…read morewe remembered enjoying it, so we thought we'd go back. Unfortunately, this visit to this location didn't live up to our expectations. We both ordered vermicelli dishes which arrived promptly after we ordered. They looked pretty on par with the vermicelli at the other Ben Thanh locations. We both had shrimp on a sugarcane and honestly it just tasted strange. This is something I order at least 3 times a month and have done for many years, so I know how it's supposed to taste. First of all, it was about 80% sugarcane and 20% shrimp, but it was very dry and hard. The flavour was very earthy and not at all shrimp-like. The meatballs were fine and the spring rolls tasted good although they were very oily. The grilled pork was also tasty but very dry and overcooked. We were both extremely surprised that there were no bean sprouts, no mint and no chopped peanuts. The decor was in need of an upgrade. The stairs down to the washroom and the whole downstairs was very dirty. The floor in the ladies' room was sticky. The vermicelli dishes were more than $10 each, which is very expensive compared to the many other Vietnamese restaurants we frequent regularly. And the food honestly wasn't nearly as good. Based on this visit, we won't be returning to Ben Thanh's London location.

The food here is actually excellent. One bite of the fried wonton appetizer and you swear that the…read moreworld is at peace. They also offer free parking, which is great for Donwtown London. The only really downside is the fact that the servers take a pretty long time to get to you and they rarely check back to see if you need anything else. With that being said, I come here at least once a week. I can't help it, I fall weak at even the whisper of Pho or a Vermicelli bowl, and they do a pretty great job at making it too. What I personally didn't like though was the Pad Thai. I may be alone on this one though, because I've seen several people order it here and no one seems to have a problem with it. I like my Pad Thai less sweet. That's ok though, I really love the Vietnamese food here.

A really good Chinese restaurant on the West side of London Ontario, with a mix of dinner dishes,…read morenoodles, and rice and congee. The fish with 1000-year-old egg congee was top notch; the fish was gently cooked, and the amt. of preserved egg was appropriate. The congee base was strong and appropriately thick without it being stiff. The corn and taro congee had a bit less flavor. The pea pod leaf vegetable was nicely stir-fried and retained a lot of heat. My reservation is usually that the veggie becomes too oily, but this time it seemed okay. The stir-fried beef with button mushrooms was top notch; the beef was tender, and the button mushrooms provided textural contrast to the beef. The beef tendon was also really soft, in a really nice way. The shrimp with egg rice noodle is always a classic, egg gently used as a sauce and the noodle with an appropriate bite to it. The place closes down (i.e. the patrons have to leave by 9p) at 9p, which makes for a bit of a rushed dinner, so beware.

Food was good but service was poor…read more Their menu was expansive. They have a chef recommendation page. However multiple items listed were not available and the price shown was often lower than the actual price. This is misleading to customers. In terms of service the staff were rude and short. They obviously wanted me to order as fast as possible and leave. I ended up with the chow fen And I added extra beef for about 9 CAD. Pleasantly the portion was much larger than I thought and they definitely added extra beef. It is an oily and noodle and beefy dish with good flavor. Not exactly the healthiest but I was craving this and it satisfied the craving. I might come back next time if I knew what I wanted ahead of time so I can skip the rude staff.
