Absolutely love the bun suong which you can only get on Tuesdays because it's the special of that day. This place has been around for I think 30 plus years and the food is always the same flavors. It's one of the og restaurants of SGV so give it the respect it deserves. Also I think this is cash only read more

Thanh Thai - Bun Suong - Vietnamese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Amazing food this is a spot you come here for the food a hidden gem for sure. I will be back

Thanh Thai is located outside of the GW supermarket on Atlantic Blvd in Monterey Park. I was staying at the Courtyard Hotel next door which doesn't have any restaurant breakfast options. Thanh Thai is open early. I ordered the bun Bo huy $13 and a Vietnamese ice coffee $4. The restaurant is tiny and has a regular clientele. The regulars that come in don't even need to order the server already knows their name and brings them food. The small bowl of bun Bo Huy was very adequate for BBH at 8 am in the morning. Small slices of beef shank, pork blood cake and pork trotters accompany the broth. The server did recommend their vinegary Thai chili and garlic sauce which was good. Good service. Lots of parking in the supermarket parking lot. read more

People were very welcoming and attentive! It's definitely a mom and pops place and visited mostly by locals IMO, the broth was a disappointment. It was too watery and lacked that umami element. I may give it another try only to support small businesses, but sadly the food was not up to par :( read more

Thanh Thai - Bun Bo #2 - Vietnamese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

When I tell you I have loved this place since I was little, believe it! I have gone here with my family for over 10 years. This is my comfort food; the Mi Quang with a side of Bun Bo soup. This little Vietnamese family owned restaurant never fails to disappoint me. If you are looking for Vietnamese food that isn't your typical Pho or Com Tam, this is the place for you. They have a variety of dishes and daily specials. I always and will always come for their Mi Quang. The owners are the sweetest and when you walk in I can just feel the love in the Vietnamese culture! I would definitely recommend trying this Vietnamese Family Owned Business at least once because I can guarantee you will keep coming back. read more

This place is located on the back side of GW Supermarket on Atlantic. It's one of the 3-4 restaurants on this side. Parking is usually not an issue as most people tend to park in the front. There's only about 2 small tables, 1 long table and 1 round table and a couple of tables against the wall. Not a very big restaurant IMO. They are CASH ONLY, so just remember that when coming here. I ordered their bun bo hue for $13.50. Let me tell you, this has got to be the best I've had next to my moms. This version closely resembles what my moms taste like. Although, their beef here is not as flavorful as my moms because she cooks her beef overnight and the seasoning has time to soak in to the beef. The noodles was cooked perfectly and bouncy. The broth was fantastic, although, I found it to be a tiny bit oily and that's justified because of the chili oil they use to spice this up. I don't think it's overly spicy, but if it goes down the wrong tube, it will definitely hit you hard. I also noticed that the water they serve you looks to be from one of those places where you can fill your water for $.25/gallon. Only reason why I say this is that I noticed a bunch of 5 gallon bottles sitting in one of the corners. I can also taste how clean the water was. It was so good, that I had to order 2 more to go for dinner. They also have daily specials available. Their menu is not super bloated, but that's ok, since I only came here for this one dish. After speaking to what I can only guess was the owner, they had a larger size available. It's not written anywhere on the menu, but he told me that only the regulars know about this hidden menu item. He told me to ask for the large when I come back next time. read more

CASH only. Simple Vietnamese Breakfast place (closes at 3pm). $12 of very light, comfort pho/Noodle soups. Hole in the wall, OG place where weekday Vietnamese Grandpas hangout. Vietnamese/Chinese. Speak Vietnamese and Mandarin. Part of the supermarket plaza, 1st floor. Very light. Fresh ingredients. Good quality. They are in the same plaza as a grocery store. Bun bo hue pig blood was really fresh, and liked the variety of goodies but the soup might have been too plain for me. It is a breakfast place. But the Wednesday special Bo Ku, bread and stew was light but still enjoyable. More of a soup than stew. Looking forward to trying other day specials. Think specials are only served on specific days. read more

Be careful of hidden water charge ($1 per glass of heavily iced water). Was surprised to see extra charge on bill and asked what it was. Owner rudely said "water charge" and I questioned why it isn't on menu nor brought up. He pointed to menu where it says hot tea, ice tea. Didn't want to argue since he wasn't having any of it. Limited menu place and as other Yelpers commented, light broth with little flavor. Other better choices around. Unfortunately this place opens early for breakfast so we decided to give it a try. Between hidden charge, food quality and service, we'll spend our money elsewhere. read more

I ordered the popular bun bo hue here. I would say I was disappointed. #1. The bowl size is a little small. #2. The flavor is too plain #3. Few pieces of meat #4. Little veggies (and no mints) #5. Price is high for a small bowl of plain bun Bo hue. The owner charged me for an ice water. All restaurants' water are free except for this restaurant. This is the first time I have experienced and charged for a glass of plain water. First time here and will not be coming back. I am giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because this place opens early at 7 am. read more

This is a community restaurant. It may not be the fanciest or the prettiest, but it feels like home to eat here. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, they're like family. Everybody engages with each other but simultaneously also minds their own business if you don't want to talk. My family and I come here every Monday to have their special, Bun Sua, which translates loosely to jellyfish noodles. It's ONLY served Mondays, and is one of the best bowl of vermicelli/noodles you'll ever try. We ask for it with extra mango, and put their pickled green chili garlic and chili paste in because we like spicy food. It's an explosion of flavors and color, and engages all your senses. I highly recommend. We also love their com ga (chicken rice) and bun bo hue (beef vermicelli), but their bun sua is our usual go to on Mondays. They usually run out by 1PM or so, come by early! read more

Don't expect much from this place. What you see is what you get. The food is mediocre. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue. It has some flavor, but it is weak. It did have a pretty strong lemongrass aroma, but that was mainly it. The noodles were fine, but slightly overcooked. The meat is dry, bland, and overcooked. Not to be dramatic, but the sheer mediocrity of the food was a bit upsetting. However, the environment is pretty off-putting. While it may be typical for a Vietnamese restaurant, it is way more off-putting than other Vietnamese restaurants. The interior is cramped, bustling, and old. I was sat at a long table with other customers with absolutely no social distancing. There was people smoking cigarettes right outside the entrance, which easily finds its way into the restaurant. The service is not great. The staff aren't super friendly and welcoming. While admittedly there was a bit of a language barrier, I still would've appreciated a bit more hospitality. They are cash only, which while is commonplace at a lot of restaurants, is a pretty huge downside regardless. The pricing, however, is average. In all honesty, this place is more-so for older Vietnamese folk to get their quick fix and to socialize with their friends. If you are on the younger side, this place isn't really for you. It isn't really a great family restaurant as well. Granted, this place has been around for quite a long time, so it is old-school. While I would give this place three-stars for the quality of food, I am pretty off-put by the additional facts stated above. I recommend that you stay far away from this place. read more

When the restroom is disgusting you know the food is going to be bomb!!! It's bomb dignity

I have no clue why there's another thanh thai that says they serve thai food .. But this is the correct thanh thai that now serves vietnamese food! I went today because my friends have raved about their friday special pho ga (chicken pho). I definitely had to try it out for myself as i love pho ga. The location of the spot is in the shun fat plaza facing the north side. It's the 2nd eating place on your left. The sign says vietnamese something. There are regulars who kick it here playing cards, talking, and just relaxing. It could be intimidating for those like me who come for the first time, but the workers were very friendly to me. I didn't completely look over the menu but i do know they have bun bo hue (yummy) and i'm going to assume regular pho & rice dishes. I mean it is a vietnamese restaurant. But i came here for the pho ga so how was it? I usually go to eat pho ga on the place on new & hellman. That one makes their pho ga like hai nam chicken style but in a chicken broth. This one however is more vietnamese pho broth i would think with beef balls, fat white noodles, and cilantro. They also have the unique spice/herb that is brown and crunchy. I don't kno what it's called, but that is what makes the soup imo. The chicken was very juicy and meaty. Once i added in the satay sauce .. Omg the soup awoke! I devoured the thing like it was my last meal. For $7.00, i think it was a good meal. I'll definitely come back and try the other stuff on the menu. read more

I have to start off by saying how much I love love LOVE their bun suong. I've been eating here specifically for this dish for around 8 years now. They only serve bun suong on Tuesdays and if you decide to dine in on a Tuesday, you can see that everyone in the restaurant ordered the same dish. The takeout portion is slightly larger. You can also ask for the thicker bun noodles if you prefer larger noodles. Location: in the plaza across from the Atlantic plaza. Next to the car wash Parking: might be a little tough since it shares a parking lot with a supermarket and other stores Service: excellent! Food comes out very fast! Random tip: their teas are EXTREMELY hot so unless you don't mind waiting at least a good 15 mins for your tea to cool down, ask for a cup of ice. read more

Thanh Thai - Bun suong. Available only on Tuesdays! - Vietnamese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Huge Tree Pantry was closed (noooo) and we were starving so we decided to see what was decent in the same shopping center. This hole-in-the-wall had quite a few people in there at 2pm (most of whom I later learned were probably just members of the owner's family... haha). The regular menu didn't have much that appealed to me and we saw on the wall they had pho ga (chicken pho) as their special of the day. We got two bowls of it and OMG, it was so good! The chicken was super fresh and almost as good as my mom's chicken. The broth was flavorful and not filled with MSG. To top it off, they had amazing pickled chili pepper with garlic. Since I don't like the typical pho ga dipping sauce, the pickled chilies were a plus! Totally coming back... now, if only I can remember what day the pho ga is served! read more

Every Tuesday for the past years of my life, I would come here and order their special! Bun Suong is one of my favorite Vietnamese noodle dish and knowing that they only serve it on one day out of the week is heart breaking but it gives me something to look forward to every week! read more

I've been going here for over 15 years. They have great specials, Especially on tuesdays !

Love to come here on Tuesday for Bun Suong is my favorite i like fried fish cakes and the garlic chilli

Although Thanh Thai has been around for over 10 years it is a pretty tricky place to find. In a nutshell, you must come here on Tuesdays to try out their special of the day: a rice noodle soup called Bun Suong! Absolutely delectable. For lack of a better word, this place is 'strange' on their public relations, but very tasty food nonetheless! Allow me to enumerate a litany of strange facts: 1.) They close very early - 3 p.m. So if you have a 9-5 job away from Monterey Park, you may never get to eat here on the weekdays for lunch. 2.) They act like they don't need your business. They don't need too - its always quite packed daily with patrons getting their grub on and people walking in and taking out. 3.) Sometimes they run out of food by 1:30 pm. 4.) Even though this place is not fancy at all, has only 10 tables, and looks like a little hole-in-the-wall, you will see men pulling up in $100,000 cars to come and hang out. go figure. Must be that good. Everyday, they have a specials for the day. My personal favorite is on Tuesdays when they serve this delectable soup called BUN SOUNG. It is a rice noodle soup with a clear broth and has pork, cilantro, onions, pumpkin, and pineapple it! Very delicious! Also, you have to order their Large Lemon Iced Tea. Warning: this drink will get you extremely tweaked out! It comes in this big container - similar to those containers that restaurants give to you when you want to take home some food to go. It is jam packed with caffeine!!! Be forewarned - I have been so wired and tweaked out after drinking these that i have been caught doing the most useless chores and errands. Buddy: 'Lance, homie, why are you on your hands and knees using a toothbrush, cleaning the corner of your kitchen???' read more

Thanh Thai - delicious Bun Soung - Vietnamese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Been coming here for about 15 years!! This is where I first tried bun bo hue (spicy beef and lemongrass noodle soup) and I've loved it ever since :) Maybe it's just that childhood feeling I can't let go of but their BBH never Dissapoints! I've tried some other dishes such as the bun rieu (crab and tomato soup with vermicelli), bo Kho (beef stew) and com ga (chicken rice) which are all pretty tasty at least 7/10 But I always go back to their BBH!! Service is always friends and prices are affordable The owners are very sweet and you definitely get the sense they know all their customers. Support this little hole in the wall and treat yourself out to some delicious Vietnamese food!! Fyi guys- there is more Vietnamese food than just pho :) read more

Thanh Thai is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. The Monday special, Bun Sua is delicious. It's a jelly fish noodle smothered with sauce. Anyway it sounds weird, but the flavors of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter come together beautifully. Saturday specials include Bun Rieu (tomato crab soup) and Banh Xeo (crispy savory crepe). The Banh Xeo is cooked to perfection and paired with their house made dipping sauce is a one of a kind experience. If you're looking for amazing Vietnamese food, visit this restaurant. Always ask for their daily specials. read more

I'd like to thank Thanh Thai (and my boyfriend) for introducing me to Banh Xeo. As a child, i used to drive by thinking this was a crusty run down plaza. I can now say i have frequented more than half of the restaurants in this place and they're all decent. There is the stinky tofu place, big tree pastry, and now thanh thai. we ordered banh xeo, a rice dish with beef, and a noodle soup dish - tomato based soup, not pho. everything was alright. nothing mind blowing. the rice wasn't broken, much to my disappointment. the noodle soup was a little bland, i much prefer pho. the banh xeo was divine though. yummy in my tummy! being a complete noob, i was lucky to have my boyfriend provide a tutorial. wet the rice paper, fill it with the lettuce and crispy egg, wrap it up really quick - before it wraps around the plate!. dip in their delicious sweet fish sauce and enjoy! read more

Great beef soup. Noodles were fresh n slippery. Drank all the broth. I never do that. Kick of spicy that makes it so tasty. Also got the egg pancake dish. So good! Cash only! You know it's legit when there's a bunch of older men playing cards at the corner table read more

Very small hole in the wall place. Looks like mom and pop place. They have specials everyday of the week. The specials are posted on the wall when you walk in. I've never tried the Monday or Tuesday special. I don't think I've ever had those dishes before. Monday is Bun Sua (Noodles, veggies, jelly salad mix). Tuesday is Bun Suong (Tomato noodle soupy). Both taste home made! The specials sometimes run out by 1pm. So definitely come early :) They close early everyday too. 3pm. read more

This was truly a hole-in-the wall, mom-and-pop kind of cafe which I like. After hearing so much about this place, I finally got a chance to come on a Tuesday to try their specialty Bun Suong. Their Bun Suong was delicious, love the simple homemade flavor of the clear broth noodle. I also like their strong Vietnamese ice coffee. Food came out a few minutes after ordering. Owner was super friendly and chatty. The crowd consisted of mostly older retired men. Price was very reasonable. Will definitely return. read more

I came here for the Bun Bo Hue. It was good because the soup was loaded with meat. This is the only place where my Bun Bo Hue was filled with a variety of meat and tendons. The broth was okay, nothing over-the-top. I should come here on Tuesdays because they have the Bun Suong special. It tastes like the Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with lots of pineapples. I love it! I heard it runs out by 1PM so make sure to come early. The restaurant is really small, but it looks like your average Vietnamese restaurant. Service is good and the price is affordable. read more
