Thanh Binh II

The outcome was unexpectedly positive. Attentive customer service ensured that all aspects exceeded expectations. Generous portions featured ample meat. The food was exceptionally delicious.
I will definitely come back when I'm in town!

Limited seats, service is fast.

Their Calamari is delicious.

Delicious pho with yummy broth, which is always the tell-tale sign of good pho! Will go back.

Got the salad bowl with chicken, tofu, and egg rolls. Absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a higher protein lower carb option.

Delicious

I visited in 2019, and it's just as delicious now as it was back then. The fried calamari is always tasty, no matter when I have it! The only downside was that I felt a bit rushed when paying, as they had me settle the bill right in front of them. It caught me off guard, and I couldn’t tip as comfortably as I would have liked.

This is my go to spot in Lake Forest. It gives me the old school vietnamese restaurant vibe with the not so rude staff. Staff is super friendly, and they're attentive. The place is always packed whenever I come here, so that's always a good sign.

Great pho, quick service and reasonable price.

To be frank, this place has you paying a premium price for below average food. The reviews and ratings are from what I ended up experiencing this evening. We had a table of 6 with varied dishes ordered. Both my husband and I had some variation of the vermecelli bowl and shared a plate of their every si popular calamari. Calamari was raved, and honestly, just fried battered calamari with a vinegar-pepper dipping sauce. Nothing special? But with a price tag of $21, it's definitely not worth it. The $17 vermecelli bowl was the worst entree I've had in a while. Chose to go with pork and an eggroll, immediately smelling and tasting the old oil from the fry of the eggroll. Leaving a disgusting greasy aftertaste in the whole bowl. The pork slices were scarce and flavorless. Also very skimpy on how much nuoc mam was given. As terrible as the food was, the service was fast and friendly. I can't tell if we came on an off night, but the space was pretty busy the whole time we were there. Wouldn't come again, don't recommend.

wish i could leave 6 stars, the food was delicious i really recommend getting the bbq porkchops with rice.👌

Great taste and good portions. Also the staff were extremely kind!

Delicious pho! A bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. The noodles were cooked perfectly and so chewy. The broth was flavourful and service was nice. Food came out really fast which I appreciate. Highly recommend the oxtail pho as it comes with a giant piece of tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtail meat. Got the fresh spring rolls as well--one beef and one shrimp. Loved the peanut sauce. Would recommend the shrimp one for sure.

Cafe sua da was nice and creamy and strong. It was also a nice portion.

Something has gone terribly wrong. I ordered bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup), extra spicy. I received a bowl of noodles and fat. There was no beef in my beef noodle soup, and the broth was nearly entirely oily fat. Usually bun bo hue is very flavorful and one of my favorite dishes, but this was just melted fat with hardly anything else. I have no idea what went wrong, but this was disgusting. And of course, it wasn't spicy at all, totally plain. I tried to salvage this with extra spice, but it was just too revolting. It went in the trash.
