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.

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.

Was driving up from Burlingame to SF and found this restaurant we wanted to try. Tried calling for takeout at around 8pm and no answer so me and my girlfriend decided to drive over since it was on the way and order take out.
It took us a while to find parking so we ended up walking it at 8:30. Immediately as we walked in some guy came out of the kitchen across the restaurant and shouted at us pointing at the door telling us to leave. The restaurant was full and everyone looked over ?
Theres plenty of great Vietnamese restaurants around with respectful staff. I wouldnt give this place another chance
