Food Rating: 2 Stars Here's what we ordered: Walnut Shrimp, (2 Stars) Large Ox Tail Pho (2 Stars) and Bun Bo Hue (3 Stars) We were there during Happy Hour so ordered the Walnut Shrimp since it was $4 off regular price. The Walnut Shrimp was pretty small in size. There wasn't enough of the sauce and the batter was minimal. Shrimp wasn't as flavorful. Walnuts were nicely coated and sweet. This dish came out less than 10 mins after we ordered, which was very suspicious to us. Oxtail Pho - Pretty disappointing. The Oxtail wasn't as tender as we hoped. The broth? Overpowered by one of the spices (I think it was the Star Anise) and just didn't taste right. Noodles were cooked well. Bun Bo Hue - Broth was actually somewhat spicy to my surprise (I love spicy and can never find a good BBH that is actually spicy). But other than that was okay. Lots of lemongrass (feels like it was the frozen lemongrass) and I thought that extra charge for pork blood was absurd esp considering the price of the BBH already. In addition, it did not come with the usual veggies

Pho is usually my go to comfort food during the cold weather or if I'm not having the best day, for…read moresome reason it always seems to make me feel better, regardless of the weather temperatures outside . I was out and about running errands and wanted somewhere not too busy where I could just sit back, enjoy a nice meal and get my thoughts together, when i came across this location. I quickly pulled up google and yelp accounts to see what others had said about it and was interested after a couple of reviews that I had read. I found a small table in the middle of the restaurant. My server approached quickly. For an appetizer I order 3 egg rolls (stuffed with pork and vegetables & served with fish sauce), I also ordered a Thai tea and the pick any 3 meats Pho (I chose Tripe, meat balls & Duck ). This was my first time having duck in my pho and it was different but also delicious. My previous experiences with duck weren't the best , my take has always been that duck is too oily/ greasy to me. Still very much the case this time around. However, the greasiness of the duck paired well in my pho bowl and It was really nice and tender as well. The broth was piping hot and savory. The egg rolls were a 10/10, the Thai tea was 8/10, and the 3 meat pho was a 8/10. This location had some decent foot traffic. There were a few others dinning in but I did notice a lot of people coming in to pick up orders for take out. I enjoyed my meal & service so much, that I returned a couple of days later for take out. This time around I got an order of egg rolls again , their salt and pepper chicken fried extra crispy and the 2 meats Pho ( tripe and meat balls ). Similar to my dine in experience, I enjoyed everything that I ordered. I would have liked my salt and pepper chicken wings to be much more crispier, but they were still yummy. I wasn't too pleased with the price of the wings either . I paid $17 for just 6 wings, that to me felt like a rip off. For that amount it should have came with some fried rice or something. So i probably won't get the wings again. I just know that I'll definitely be a regular at this location during the fall and winter season, and I love that it's only 9 mins away from my house.

There is so much I want to try on the menu. Oh, their lemonade with beet and ginger was refreshing.

ThaiBinh's totally vegan menu looks delicious. Every item has a photo and although I only have appetizer photos, our entrees were just as tasty looking. My favorite edible, though, was the battered and fried eggplant half moons with garlic and green onion ($8). The creamy interior in juxtaposition to the crunchy exterior was dynamite! I could order that again and again. Equally pleasing was the crunchy rice paper wrapped Spring Roll ($8). I'm sure the protein choice makes a little difference from roll to roll. We had the vegan chick'n. It was a good flavor component. We noticed that there are a number of new items (for us). I ordered the spaghetti noodles in garlic sauce with cilantro and I picked Oyster Mushroom as my protein ($16). In retrospect, this is a dish I would take home and add more veggies to. Which is what I did do with the leftover. The portion is generous and delicious; it's just a lot of pasta to mushroom. My husband ordered a side of broccoli ($8) and somehow he also ordered this enormous mound of seasoned brown rice with it. It was too much even for two people. We took most of that home as well. And still, exactly as I remember him, Chef/Owner ThaiBinh Ho is friendly and unassuming. He actually remembered me from the first time I wrote a review and asked permission to take his photo. His food reflects his spiritual philosophy and his joy in sharing it with customers at the Desoto Marketplace. There's oodles of parking here with food trucks outside and the food kiosks inside. There are two areas with tables and chairs if you want to dine in and there's picnic tables outside. Since there are other non-restaurant businesses here, too, you can browse while you wait. Restrooms are in the back. There's even a playground if you have small children. Hours are weekday only, Tuesday through Friday with a break in the afternoon.

As uncomfortable as it was, I politely pointed it out to the staff. They took the plate back but then returned with the exact same herbs, bugs still on them. Nothing had been replaced or addressed. After that, the atmosphere shifted and the staff acted noticeably uncomfortable, which made the situation even more awkward. To make matters worse, I later learned from someone who previously worked there that unused pho vegetables from other tables are reportedly reused. Whether that practice is consistent or not, combined with what I personally experienced, it raises serious concerns about food safety and hygiene. I can't in good conscience return, and I hope the restaurant takes these issues seriously. Cleanliness and proper food handling are non-negotiable.

On a more positive note, the ramen was hot, fresh, and flavorful. That dish was definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the restroom situation really took away from the experience. There was old, crusted yellow urine on the back of the toilet seats, and the soap dispenser was missing its spout, making it difficult to wash hands properly. Cleanliness, especially in the bathroom, is very important and needs immediate attention. With better consistency in food preparation and improved cleanliness, this place could be much better.

We love Vietnamese cuisine and Belle's menu looked very interesting online. Belle's turned out to be very different from your average pho or Vietnamese spot. The small menu allows for your average interested diner not to be overwhelmed. The staff are friendly and informative. I still could have used maybe a little more "opinion" but in the end, I can't really ask twenty questions about dishes I'm unfamiliar with. We were seated at the only banquette. It was very comfy, and brought a liter of ice water and cups. We ordered apps and settled in. Our waitress was so very friendly and sweet, obviously loving her restaurant and the menu. In short, the eggrolls were crispy and stuffed with chicken. The bahn mi flat grilled appetizer was served much like Nachos would be, and is nothing like you would expect, just "delicious" according to my husband. The Fried chicken wings are big, perfect and gloriously garlic with a terrific sauce. The small menu has a host of main courses that will let you venture out into Vietnamese cuisine and try something just a little bit new, like I did with Bun Bo Xao (Filet Beef With Vermicelli). Was it exactly what I wanted? I'll be honest. No. I prefer more veggies than just pickled carrots but the garlic sauteed Filet was exceptional with the noodles. Their nuoc cham is just delicious. We enjoyed our lunch/dinner and would definitely return. There is plenty of parking out front. The bathrooms are clean and there is a sink outside the restrooms to wash those sticky fingers!!
