The place is known for Bo 7 Mon which translates to 7 Courses of beef. 1st Course: You start off with a lime/vinegar marinated beef salad with pickled carrots, daikon, and garlic, garnished with roasted peanuts, & fresh chopped herbs. It has that sweet and sour combo that tickles your buds for the next course. 2nd: Steamed beef patties mixed with peas, carrots, and black mushrooms served with a rice sesame cracker. The patties are bland, boring and rather suspicious looking with their juices running on the plate. 3rd (start of main course): a hot pot comes out to your table and in it boiling vinegar infused with lemongrass and red onions. A plate of rare slices of beef comes out for you to dip in the vinegar. After dipping, you wrap the cooked beef in your own rice paper, add mint, fresh cucumber, cilantro, and bean sprouts. It's all an interactive experience and you have to make your own rolls. Served with Mam Nem sauced (red chilies, salty anchovies, crushed pineapples, and tons of garlic). You better bring some mints if you plan on kissin someone after that. 4th: Bo La Lop. Grilled minced beef wrapped in "Piper Lolot" leaf and grilled. The beef is savory with lots of flavor. The leaf locks in the juices and tenderizes the chopped garlic inside. 5th: Bo Nuong Xa. Grilled beef rolls and onions with chopped lemongrass. 6th: Grilled beef meatballs. 7th: Beef Cong-gee (rice porridge with ground beef). The Cong-gee is as depressing at the wet beef patties in the 2nd course. Since I am sad and ruined by the last course... I... must order dessert. =) Besides the 7 course of beef everything I've had on the menu is pretty darn good. Lots of classic Vietnamese dishes served family style. They also have smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, & salty limeade to quench your thirst. I like the ambience of Thanh Thanh. It's peaceful and quiet most of the time. The restaurant is spacious enough for you to be far apart from others without overhearing their convos. (4.5 stars) read more

Been to a few weddings here and just to eat at the restaurant. I have always experienced top notch service. Love the food and staff. They really do want to make every visit exceptional. read more

I went to this place because it was my first choice for a wedding. Only because my family wanted an Asian wedding and I knew this was a popular place. I set up an appointment and came ready to book a date and tables. However when I came there I waited 30 minutes to have someone to talk to after I made it clear that I made an appointment for a wedding. The owners finally came over and said Judy is not here.... WOW really maybe you can tell me the moment I came. These people are snobby and arrogant and I mean they fit the true definition. Her mom then took over the appointment. After I told her it would be a small intimate wedding of about 140-150 guest. She basically thought I was a joke and said that its a small wedding so you would have the small room. The room they wanted to give us was a joke! It was cramp and dance floor could fit about 5 people. Basically you can use that room as storage.I told her I wanted a bigger room and she said well you need a bigger party your wedding is too small. Basically they rather have a bigger wedding in replace of mine so they can make more money. I dont understand how people would want to do business with these people. I heard many stories from friends how their wedding turned out and its not good. Tables were missing food at weddings,portions are small and arrogant owners. I simply left and booked my wedding at A1 buffet and it was the best people to work with. All my guest told me during and after the wedding how they loved the food and it was delicious much better then Thanh Thanh. This means a lot because Vietnamese people judge your wedding base on the food. Also they only take in one wedding not like Thanh Thanh where they can have 3 weddings at once. A1 space is huge and you can do amazing things with decorating your wedding. You have one special night and you don't want to deal with these people. Most importantly the owners/management at A1 treat you with respect and caters to you. read more

This place is an awesome lunch stop for and affordable, but amazing lunch! The food is always fresh and tasty and service is always on point! Thanks for getting it right! read more

The place was pretty empty when we tried this place. Wonder if that was a sign? Food was OK but overly priced in my opinion. Better options in the shopping center. read more

Popular location for weddings, try not to come on Saturday night unless you want to eat with loud music blaring in your ears and old Asian men leering at you (if you're a young woman). Food is nothing special, it's just hyped up because the place is beautiful. Bo 7 Mon - 7 Beef Course Meal is also not the best, I've had better at a cheaper price. Overall I'm always dragged here for wedding receptions so I'll come (free food!) but I wouldn't voluntarily come here to eat unless they paid me. read more

(4.5 Stars) It's a nice place for cheap consistent vietnamese food. Lunch dishes are usually around 5$ and well worth the money. Usually i come for a quick bite of Ca Kho (Clay pot sweet fish), Canh Chua (Sour Soup), or the best dish they serve Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Beef). I got the first two dishes down, but I'm still trying to figure out how to recreate that last one exactly like theirs. They're also one of few places around here that serve the the 7 dishes of beef rotation. Mom and pop are fans (that's rare) as well. read more

I had the bo 7 mon and the lemongrass squid and shrimp with my parents. The dishes were excellent and the "bo la lot" and beef salad were my favorite dishes. The portions were right and there were plenty of side vegetables and herbs to go along with the main courses. The porridge wasn't too good--it was served cold and there was barely any beef in it. The squid and shrimp were excellent, as usual. Food was served quickly and everything was fresh. The environment was pretty nice, there was a Vietnamese wedding next door so we could hear loud music in the background, but other than that, the decorations were well presented and I would come here again. Plus, the bathrooms are very clean so that's a plus. So I give this restaurant 4 stars. read more

I had my wedding here just a week ago. The place gets a 5 star for atmosphere. It really has eye appeal. I give it a two star on everything else. The food had some high points but mostly low points. The service was very sub par. The fried rice we had was the worst I have ever tasted. My wife is Vietnamese and I am very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. So familiar that I can tell you Arlington has MUCH more to offer for Vietnamese food. In the end..high marks for a wedding but low marks for say a dinner crowd. read more

I've been going here since I can remember! Since I was 4 or 5. The owners are nice and remember my family each time we go. I love the 7 courses of beef here and haven't been to a place that's better.. The venue is very nice as everyone mentions for a Vietnamese restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone as it's nostalgic to my heart. read more

Great place for special events and gathering. Clean atmosphere, spacious with fancy decor. Good selection of traditional Vietnamese food.

My wife and I just ate lunch at Thanh-Thanh and I can't believe that I just discovered it! The curry beef with rice was exceptional and my wife had the beef salad which was also very good. Although it is tucked away in southeast Arlington, I now want to eat dinner at this restaurant! Needless to say, we will be back! read more

Service is blah and Food is mediocre. Better to go somewhere cheaper and taste better. Waste of money. One star for the beautiful lay out and decor. Rude service. read more

I went to a wedding there and I watched the restaurant staff steal bottle of liquors from the guests tables. Also the wedding taste test dishes were significantly larger than the actual dishes offered during reception. What a bad way to do business..be fair and be honest...it will make up for the sliding quality of food over the years. read more

Ate there for the first time yesterday and I will be back. The sweet and sour chicken is about the best thing I ever put in my mouth.

Took my family here for dinner. We ordered the Beef, squid, and shrimp nuong VI (grilled at your table). We were totally disappointed at the portion!!!! Each of the protein cost $17.95. The shrimp only came in 9 pieces, the beef came with only a few thin pieces, and there were barely any squid!!!!! We left there still hungry!!! Come on Thanh Thanh, that's cheating your customer!!!! You can do better than that. read more

This is an upscale Vietnamese full menu restaurant with very good service and top notch food. Though they serve pho, this is not their specialty. If you want pho, go to Pho 95 in the same shopping center. Thanh Thanh specialize in "7 courses of beef" which is excellent. My wife and I usually try to go here once a week for this dish. Only caution is about weekend wedding banquets. We usually call them before going to make sure that we can get seated read more

Seriously, I usually only come here when my mom's been invited to a Vietnamese/Chinese wedding and I have been elected to escort her. The food here is just aaaaaight. But it seems like every Asian person in Arlington has their wedding here because they offer seat covers and table cloths at their tables which is a huge step up from what any other place is willing to do. Food: A typical Asian wedding usually offers a banquet with about 10-courses, so it's a good way to see what the restaurant can do. There's nothing really stand-out about the stirfy/soup/fried rice dishes that they serve here. I have come for their Beef-7-Ways dish which is really good. It's literally a meal where beef is showcased cooked 7 different ways with a hotpot and lots of veggies, rice paper, and vermicelli to wrap it all up with. It's been a long time since I've had it there, but I remember that it was really good though. read more

I went here for a wedding and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Everything was delicious and the venue was really nice. I've attended a lot of other Asian weddings in the DFW area and the food has always been average at best. This is the only place that stood out to me. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food was a great experience and the Seven Course Beef was well worth it. Service was not that good, but it was Mother's Day. Though, I got better service out of those who were not waiters (busers, bartender, manager). Inside was nice, large, and clean. Eating here did not feel American at all. Which is good, it was real. Will be back on a regular day. read more

When u order the same food make sure they bring it out all of it, because they for got some of our food when we order 7 beef course. When u order the same food they make the entry smaller. We have 5 adult and 5 kids so 15% tip is automatic they service is bad, we have to remind them water for 3 times before we got our drink. Never go there again read more

The service was great but unfortunately the foods were just Ok. The sour soup hotpot was just not up to far and the salt& peper shrimp were not as good as we anticipated. Will come back to try other dishes read more

Why is this place rated so high? I've been here a number of times and the food fails to impress me. The service is spotty, but what does impress me is the decor and upkeep of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant owns the whole shopping center and has done a great job keeping the ethnic culture alive. It's a huge hit for weddings on Saturday nights and has tons of options for food, but I don't find myself ever craving Thanh Thanh when there are lots of other great options in the city. read more

Fried rice bland and dry. Bun cha dac biet was also bland except for the grilled pork (thit nuong). Service was slow and nonexistent unless they are bringing the food out. Will not return. By the way, I am Vietnamese and the meal we had today was definitely not worth it. read more

My girlfriend and I go here all the time. Their bo luc lac (shaken beef) is some of the best around, as is their muc rang muoi (salt and pepper fried squid). If you're really hungry, get the seven course beef. None of the food will wow your face off, but they do all of their Vietnamese dishes very well unlike some of the other Asian places around Arlington. read more

I love their beef in Hawaiian leaf. That has to be my favorite dish there. The sugar cane shrimp is good too.

This place was just okay. Coming from NYC where there's not a lot of good viet food, I really craved for bo la lot and ended up here to attempt to fulfill the craving. Bo la lot $12 for 12 pieces is a pretty good deal, but the meat was too sweet for some reason. They give you the rice wraps and veggies to wrap it and dip in stinky fish sauce (mam nem) if you like. I advise going here for other dishes like bo luc lac instead. read more

My husband and I went there for lunch and the food was amazing. The dinning area is beautiful, as you walk through the doors there is a water fountain. read more

Good food, we're Vietnamese newbies, wish they moved the pictures inside or put them in the menu. Good choices and tasty.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. The food here for dinner/lunch is pretty good. I can name lots of great dishes: shaken beef, beef with lemongrass, curry beef, seven courses of beef, salt and pepper squid, etc. Not all the dishes are awesome I'll admit, you just have to know what to order. The beef here shines, the beef they use here is very tender. Yes it is a little expensive but I don't mind. We come here every time family is in town and the food usually does not disappoint. My only gripe is dinner portion is the same as lunch. read more

I can only comment on the Bo 7 Mon, which is amazing. I'm going to be dreaming about it when I go back to New York, because you can't get it there. read more

I come here pretty often with my family and it's been about a four star rating on average. Today's experience definitely knocked it down to two, but I'll put three for past decent experiences. We ordered the soup, some bun entrees, and one banh hoi entree. The soup was sour from not being put in the fridge fast enough the night before (according to our server) and there were dead flies in the lettuce accompanying our banh hoi entree. Our server made lame excuses and had a very sarcastic personality that just came off to be plain rude. He did, however, not charge us for soup, so there's at least that. read more

The bun cha Ha Noi didn't exactly use the right noodle, but it was ok for lunch. We were just stopping by on our tour in Dallas, and the place didn't look too crowded, which was a plus for us. Probably will check out another Viet place next time we're in Dallas. read more

We eat here too often to have any bad blood about this place honestly. But their waiter just really pushed my button time after time. We came in for lunch, we ordered the 7 courses of beef, vietnamese crepe, salt and pepper tofu, and lemongrass beef. As more people of our party arriving, we asked him for more veggies and a bowl of fish sauce, because some of us don't eat the other stinky kind. The waiter brought out an extra plate of veggies and a small half-full bowl of fish sauce. As there are more dishes coming, I knew it won't be enough so I asked for maybe an extra bowl, especially for two people too. His reply: I'll bring you a spoon to share, in a pompous manner. As he brought out the spoon, he saw the second plate of veggies not yet touched, he said: you don't need it, let me take it away. We were like: uh no, we will start on it soon. I mean, seriously, a restaurant this big? And went stingy on a small plate of veggies?? And his attitude was what ticks me off. I don't care how well you may know some of us, one thing i know for sure, you're not ok a friendly term with them either, don't use the type of attitude that you don't even use with your friends with us. My friend remembered later that the tea was free with lunch, so she asked for it. As he brought them out, he said: this is weird, you ask for tea at the end of your meal? Her reply: no, we're still eating and we still have our friend coming soon, and since it's free, i wanna take advantage of it. Him: it's not free for dinner, it's free for lunch. We are here at 1:15, is it dinner. They will never tell you the tea come with lunch by the way. I'm super disappointed. I know the owners. They are nice people, but they need to train their employees more, especially when they are the one who rep the name of the business. read more

I was here for a wedding and the food and space was great. The shrimp balls differ from other shrimp balls I've had being a little spicer and served on a stick. The wait staff was prompt and courteous. The resturant was large and very accomadating for 600 people. read more

Love their Bo 7 Mon and their Bo Luc Lac. Service is a little slow especially if you go on a weekend.

I just got back from a wedding reception held at Thanh-Thanh and it was horrible. Everything was sugary sweet. Our whole table thought that too. It wasn't just me. Its like the cook swapped the salt and sugar on the spice rack. Portions were small, things were really lacking in the dishes, food wasn't prepared well. I guess they're well known for their 7 course beef and that is what you should stick to if you visit this place. I'd stay away from any of their other dishes and I would not pay to have a wedding reception there. Service was really lacking too. We had to constantly ask repeatedly for simple things like straws and napkins and such. And anytime things were brought to the table, such as straws, it was only a few and not enough for the whole table. The one thing I'll give them is that the atmosphere/decor was decent. It looked nice and professional. I felt comfortable as a guest. Unfortunately this did not reflect in any other part of the restaurant. read more

Wedding Review!! We just had our wedding at Thanh Thanh beginning of March and I could NOT be more happy!!! The venue is a typical restaurant but you can bring in decorators and this place cleans up beautifully!! The decorators came in and transformed Thanh Thanh into a beautiful wedding hall! The food was AMAZING!! We got so many compliments on the steak on asparagus, sweet and sour fish and the fried cheese lobster! Some of our guests loved the lobster SO much they ordered extra!! The portions were great, there was PLENTY of food for a table of ten. The shrimp balls came out steaming, everything was just great. I am so happy we decided to go with Thanh Thanh over the other traditional Vietnamese restaurants. The wait staff was great, and very attentive, we needed the dance floor swept in between songs, and the staff very quickly got to it. Our whole experience with Thanh Thanh was great! The owners were so helpful and took great care of us and we will be recommending them for years to come! read more

See all

Asian restaurants are notorious for bad waitress. This one is nothing new. Food is so bland. They need to upkeep the portions and the flavor. I only come here for 7 beef courses, all other stuffs on the menu is obsolete, maybe the "bo luc lac" is decent but the portion can't feed a child, and it is pricey. read more

When I dine at Thanh Thanh, I order the seven beef course. The presentation is lovely and visually appealing. You are served with seven different beef dishes. The grilled beef is the best. The beef tripe salad is the best. Just don't tell the squeamish people. Let them eat it first and tell later. Years ago, the restaurant served bigger rice paper. I guess the current size of the rice paper is okay since Americans need to eat less. The seventh course is the beef soup. It's super delicious and nourishing on a cold day. Invite a friend or a group for a great seven beef course and embark on a journey of delicious food and great conversation. BTW, the restroom is big and clean. I only used the W's restroom. The service is also great. read more
