Ben Tre Restaurant

Lin has been cooking for 18 years plus using her OG family recipes. The soup here is phenomenal. You can taste the love of a long stewed bone broth. Enrich your life and come eat this cuisine. The restaurant name means coconut. This place ain't no joke with grandma cooking here still. Fresh ingredients fast service and family oriented small business. Come thru and be delighted by Vietnamese cuisine with friendly service. Lin gave me a tour of the kitchen and I was vibing on life enjoying her passion as a cook

I really liked this place. The food was delicious. I don't think I've ever had Vietnamese food ever so I figured I'd go in. I had the lemongrass tofu and it was a bit spicy but not overwhelming. It's easy to find the restaurant as it's on the corner. I'd return to try the other dishes.

I always get the 5 spice chicken with the garlic noodles. This is a family business and they always deliver great service and food. I will definitely come back here again! Their Vietnamese food is the best!

If you don't get an itemized bill double check your total against expected. This is especially true for large groups as mistakes (innocent or not) could be there and an itemized bill is the first defense. Taste wise it's an average restaurant for the area considering South SF isn't exactly a meca for Vietnamese food

The portions was good. The combo meal is a good deal to order.

Absolutely delicious pho and friendly service!

We visited Ben Tre for the first time and were very impressed. They offer 6–8 different types of pho bo, and we ordered #18 — it was excellent! The broth was flavorful but not too salty, and we really appreciated that we didn’t feel thirsty afterwards.

The service was very kind and welcoming, and while the interior is simple, this restaurant isn’t about decor — it’s all about fresh, authentic Vietnamese food. The place was full, with lots of Asian customers, which to us is always a good sign when it comes to authentic cuisine.

The portions are huge — I shared my pho with my son and it was more than enough for both of us. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality and portion size.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving real South Vietnamese pho!

I work out across the street and just seen these dirty ass people unloading the back of there truck through throwing the sacks of exposed onions onto the sidewalk where people urinate especially that homeless drunkard BOB that sits out in front begging for money and food… ID Never eat there after seeing that display of disregard and respect for the customer’s…..

I've been going here for years and no matter what time of day it's always busy. The place itself has some outdoor and indoor seating. They keep the place clean and they pump orders our fast.
I typically place to-go orders since parking is tough in this area. My typical go to's are:

1. Imperial egg rolls: Always fresh and crunchy. Sometimes one order isn't enough for me and my husband lol. I love the vermicelli noodles it comes with. I dip everything in the sauce they provide.

2. Crispy shrimp: Simple and satisfying. I love the sweet chili sauce dip

3. Beef rice plate with imperial rolls: Classic rice plate and satisfying.

4. Beef fried rice plate: I'm not sure if this is on the menu but my husband loves this.

I highly recommend this place. They have so many other good items like garlic noodles etc.

Great food with large menu and lots of options.

Very nice

Terrible, undercooked chicken. Rice was hard. Pho was cold. The owner was so rude and confronted us about tipping more and more. That’s all they care about. Money hungry! Will not be coming back.
