    I was really excited about this place until I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. Then I was going to give them points off for the dirty bathroom but the food was pretty good so it kind of out weighed that part. The owners are nice, parking is free, they have gluten-free items but I'm not sure I would come back here. My shrimp with gluten-free vermicelli noodles was mediocre but edible.

    Pho Thanh Binh **** RECOMMENDED **** Food: **** Value: ***** (cheap average $15) Menu: **** (98 dishes to chose from) Ambiance: *** as compare to all restaurants, but **** compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. Service: **** Parking: ***** While the Yelp reviews & ratings range from one * star to five ***** star, in my opinion, Pho Thanh Binh is a solid four **** star and recommended. I eat at Vietnamese restaurants at least 2-4x/month and I've eaten at over a dozen Vietnamese restaurants in Honolulu, Hawaii over 40+ years. I also have friends that were born in Vietnam that take me to their favorite Vietnamese restaurants, and we order their favorite dishes, so I speak with some experience. Food: We had a party of six people and those that ordered pho all agreed the broth was good and their serving of noodles were generous. The amount of meat we got in the oxtail pho was generous for the price ($15). The short ribs were also good. Service: We arrived on a Sunday at 7:30 PM and we're seated immediately and given menus. The waitress came to take our orders within 5 minutes. The food started coming out within 5 minutes of ordering and everyone got their dishes within 15 minutes. They came back to remove our finish bows and dishes, they refilled water and asked if we needed anything else. Dining Room: The dining room was nice, as you can see from the picture. The leather seats were fine, with no holes and the floor was clean. The restroom was clean, but dated and could use a renovation. Yelp: https://yelp.to/5jULktoLuD RATINGS KEY: A = Really Good - one of the best B = Good - would order again C = ok - similar, nothing special D = Not very good - wouldn't order F = Terrible - avoid

    Love everything about this place. The service is always friendly & on point! The food is excellent and goes out quickly & always correct. They have done much renovations to make the place look fresh and inviting.

    Pho Thanh Binh is a rare find: authentic Vietnamese food deep in South OC. This family-owned spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a casual setup with a good amount of seating as well. For their menu, they have a solid selection of noodle, soup, and rice dishes to choose from. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner and opted to try the Com Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio (Rice Plate with Grilled Pork, Shrimp, and Egg Roll) and the Pho Combination. The food came out super fast and the pho broth was valid off the first sip! Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot if you ever find yourself in deep South OC and wanting that Vietnamese food fix. All of the staff here are very friendly and efficient. Pho Thanh Binh is Viet gang approved!

    Medium chicken pho
    Steph G.

    Always a great experience at PTB. This time we took out after the thanksgiving holiday. The medium pho was large enough for two to share. Lots of white meat chicken, noodles and the toppings - including hoisin and chili paste! Also came w utensils. Nice flavor for the broth. Plenty of parking out front. Mellow vibes in a traditional Thai restaurant setting. Friendly service.

    Rare steak Pho
    Jim S.

    Was craving some Pho and San Clemente doesn't appear to have many options. This place is conveniently located near a few different restaurants but has its own designated parking spots which is a big plus. I ordered a medium sized bowl is Rare steak Pho and as you can see from the picture it is a good sized portion. Flavor is good. The restaurant was clean but looks a little dated. Polite server and appears they have a loyal following as the customers knew the staff.

    I have been living in San Clemente for over twenty years.I think I've been to this place about six different times.I have no idea what I ordered there. But this time I ordered the Rare Beef Soup Amazing!I will be coming back sooner now.Service was Great from the nice older gentleman and lady.Sorry I didn't get names.FYI next time offer me to dine in when I first come in not to take-out.I love going to a good restaurant and eating by myself I have no problem with it.That was my plan for that visit but I took it home with the help of the staff.

    Dexter C.

    Plenty of parking. First time visitor. Nothing fancy. Great tasting food. Will definitely go back. Many items to pick from. Staff was very friendly.

    #16. Vegetables and Tofu Pho small
    Daisy W.

    This place has my heart (and my stomach) forever! I'm not even vegetarian, but I always get the vegetarian tofu pho it's just that good. So flavorful, so comforting, every bite hits just right. And don't even get me started on the fried spring rolls... they are out of this world. Fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. The service here? Elite. Every single time I come in, I'm treated like family. If I trust a place this much, you already know the staff are absolute gems. So if you visit, be nice to my servers! Highly recommend. Always a 10/10.

    Bun bo hue aka tomatoe soup
    Brian G.

    Worst Pho ever... rude owners plus wack BBH which looks like tomato soup. They didn't even have tendon just only slices of meat plus the soup was so hot it kept on cooking the meat to super well done. I left ASAP after finishing the meat to at least got my moneys worth but nope. Lime and bean sprouts all dry too. I'd advise you to steer away from this place as it doesn't cater to asains like I'm used to.

    Number 10
    Taylor L.

    If there were 10 stars it would it would be a 10/10 experience , The service is great, the food is amazing, last time I was there they were going through renovations but I love it there. This is one of me and my boyfriends regular spots, My Favorite is the Number 10, their egg rolls are pretty good to!!!

    Penny J.

    Cute place. Solid. Stir fried veggie & tofu with rice is pretty good for the price & tastes pretty good. Not incredible tasting but good enough. Good bang for your buck

    Ask the Community - Pho Thanh Binh

    Does the vegetarian Pho contain fish sauce?

    Chicken broth, sugar and fish sauce. The place is filthy.

    Is their pork in your eggrolls?

    Only in pork egg roll No pork in veggie egg roll It come with egg roll

    Do you have Porridge?

    Sorry, we do not sell chao/congee/porridge!

    Is the pho broth gluten free?

    No, since this is not Michelin, but do try Pho soup, it's really good. Otherwise, go for other options like fried rice or vermicelli noodles :D

    Honestly, what Asian food doesn't have msg. That's the flavor

    Went here for date night last week- it has a lot more seating inside than I had expected!…read more Good service- 5/5 The ambience - 3.5/5 - the ambience wasn't my favorite, maybe it's a little better in their main restaurant area but we were seated to the left when you walk in and while there are a few booths in that area it was mostly outdoor chairs and tables and sort of odd lighting. Just very very casual and not totally comfortable. Food- 3.4/4 out of 5 - I got the Luau plate and LOVED the chicken!! Everyone else was right- that chicken thigh deserves its own plate. I also really enjoyed the coconut pudding/jello thing that came with it and the sausage link. The pulled pork was just okay, not very well seasoned but not bad. The side of "dressed greens" was just some lettuce without dressing on it, and I thought the macaroni salad was fine. The last thing that really disappointed me were the sautéed veggies :/ they were just soo oily and had no seasoning to them at all. I didn't eat any of them or the un-dressed 'salad'. My husband got the chicken katsu plate, he said the chicken katsu was fine but the fries on the side were cold and not crispy, they were kind of chalky in the mouth and didn't taste fresh. Some parts were definitely a 3/5 but my chicken thigh was so good and the portions are *huge* so I feel like they deserve a 4/5? All in all, I think I'd come back if I wanted to go out with someone but save some money and we'd split one of the plates (the portions really are huge).
