The broth here is beyond delicious. When we pulled up we thought we were going to get just your run of the mill basic pho with nothing special to it. We were proven wrong IMMEDIATELY. The flavor is so rich but also light. I could just drink the broth on its own.
Their spicy green beans are also a great app to order before the soup arrives and they are very addicting.

Pho soup is salty and asked for hot water, but never brought it. The tables for two people are too close, so seating uncomfortable !

Our favorite local Vietnamese place. Great value on lunch combos. FYI they are open 11-8 from Monday to Saturday 6 days a week. Somehow Google’s info is messed up and thinks they are only open 3 days a week and that is completely wrong. We are enjoying a nice Saturday lunch.

Vegetarian options: I am not a vegetarian but they seem to have many tofu and vegetable options on the menu.

Parking: In strip mall with grocery store so tons of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Casual and kid friendly.

Dismiss all the less-than-5 star reviews. This is some of the best food I've ever had. The pork banh mi ruled, the green beans are a must (the most unique thing I've had in a while) and the pho (steak this time) was also fresh, perfectly portioned and paired with a special mixed sauce. We also got the veggie spring rolls and big surprise: they were fresh, tasty and surprisingly good. I'd suggest this over almost any other Vietnamese spot I've been to and that's saying something.

Came in on a weekday, so I was able to choose a table right away. Veronica promptly greeted me as I entered and was very attentive to me and the other patrons. Ordered the vegan pho with soft tofu. It came out in a reasonable amount of time and at a good temperature. Some places serve it piping hot and I have to wait for it to cool down to enjoy. I just wish there were more vegetables in the pho. I also asked Veronica about the curry option on the menu and she confirmed it is make vegan with coconut milk - maybe for next time?! As I passed the kitchen to visit the restroom, the kitchen staff greeted me and thanked me for coming in. That was a nice touch to my experience. I’ll come back again!

If you are looking for excellent Vietnamese food you can find it at Benley. My wife and I have been here a few times. We came here with another couple a week or two ago. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The other couple does not eat Gluten because one of them has Chron's disease. The very friendly waitress at Benley was able to provide safely handled, gluten-free, and reportedly great tasting food to both of them, while not limiting the options of those of us who do eat gluten. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy safe, just let them know you need special considerations right when they seat you. Even better, call ahead to let them know.

Very good service. Super friendly and explained all the specials. I liked it more that you could have a mix of banh mi and pho. The bahn mi was exceptional. Crispy toasted French baguette with benley ham.
