Review from Tamara J.

I love Ben Than! The food is amazing. The prices are reasonable. The decor (in the Kitchener location) is gorgeous, and the vegetarian options are endless!
BUT the service is terrible. Despite that, I do eat here quite frequently, because i love the food and the locations close to my house. There is often a long wait for food, and if the resturant is busy, there is no doubt you will wait. I've waited up to 30 minutes on a fast day. Sometimes, they can be fast. I have never seen my parties food all come at once. I often order a soup with noodles on the side, and i will always receive one way before another. I've had my appetizer come at the end of my meal and my partners meal come 10 minutes after mine. I've been to both the Cambridge and Waterloo locations and the service is impeccable. So if this location isn't convenient for you i would go to another location. Its sad, because bad service can always take away from the amazing taste of the Viet-Thai cuisine.
Again, i must state the food is amazing. It's what keeps me coming back. The spring rolls are to die for, and its great if you have a vegetarian in the family or vice-versa. The food is always hot, and always tastes great. The price is about 25$ for a meal with appetizer for two people without tip. The Kitchener location's decor is very demure and high class. The alcohol is expensive, around 7$ for a mixed drink.
I urge you to try this resturant, just not this location. Luckily its a chain! -

I had lunch here with my parents and had a wonderful dining experience. Something I've come to expect from Ben Thanh's in Waterloo, not Mississauga. Being a newer location than the Waterloo restaurant the atmosphere in here was very nice. Its a bit dark, but it's quiet and there is lots of seating. Unlike the Waterloo location there was no lineup when we arrived and we were seated right away.
Their menu items were the same as the Waterloo locations, which I was pleased to see. I ordered my usual Thai dish, a vermicelli bowl with a spring roll. I also enjoyed a mango shake with my meal. I've become accustomed to getting my mango shake after my meal arrives (because they make the meals so quickly) but this time I was presently surprised to receive my shake before my meal. I was very impressed with the entire experience here.
All our meals came together and each were up to par with what I have come to expect from Ben Thanh's.
With it's proximity to the movie theatre this restaurant would be a good choice if you were looking for a good meal before seeing a show.
I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Kitchener or Waterloo.Listed in: Waterloo
