They bring all courses in the same time, unless you specifically ask them to wait until you finish the one course. It gets cold by the time you eat one course.

I took my son for dinner at the Waterloo location last night. It was the first time I had been there in a couple years and it was horrible. The food was inedible. Bbq beef avocado rolls not only had NO avocado, the rice paper was hard as a rock on two of the four halves.Every single one of my rice paper for my vermicelli was ripped and/or hard on half of it.So incredibly disappointed!

Food comes quick, tasty and well priced. Just get there early to find a good parking spot during lunch! Employees are friendly but sometimes can take a while to get drink refills.

I had barbecue rib soup. They didn't pull the membrane off the back of the ribs so that kind of makes it a little weird. I was asked once how I was or if I need anything. Lastly, the lady when I was checking out never acknowledged me or asked me how it was, but she did perform some pretty epic nose picking while she was on the phone and on the internet. I addressed her about his concerns to which she just walked away from me. I will not return mediocre at best

Had an experience of a lifetime. Just not a pleasant one!Their coconut soup has massive pieces of tomatoes, like a quarter of a very large tomato. These were very difficult to eat. The vegetable chow mein was completely flavorless and the yellow Vietnamese curry had large raw onions that had not even been chopped. Plus the flavor was not good.Every mistake that could be possibly made while cooking these recipes was made. The only saving grace was that the spring rolls were edible.

Ever have service so good that you resolve to become a regular? Kudos to our server Pene for being diligent with our table of 8, adults and kids, all with different drink orders and food. He checked in on us to make sure everyone had everything numerous times.Everyone enjoyed their food. I had a Thai Tea (50), Vietnamese Spring Rolls (best I've had in town) and a chef's special Beef Rib pho.I have never been overwhelmed with the sheer amount of meat in a pho dish before, but this was a massive beef rib in the middle of my bowl! Wow! There was also beautifully tender beef tongue. The broth, meat, noodles were all delicious. My daughter had pho for the first time as well and enjoyed it.The meat lovers and spring lovers meals were also ordered at the table, and not only were the meat and toppings amply provided, but when we couldn't finish our server gave us fresh wraps and take out containers of the sauce to take home.What a great experience, I will think about this restaurant first the next time my family wants to eat out.

It's been years since the last time I was at Ben Thanh and I was very excited...Prior to being seated, my family was informed we would need to pay an additional 15% charge because we have a party of 6.I can completely understand this charge for large groups or parties but why for a family of 6? We did not eat there and I'm floored this happened today. Thanks for nothing Ben
