We wanted to support Vietnamese restaurant in the US, so it’s always on our priority list. Upon waking in, the restaurant gave off a not-so-clean vibe because of the sticky table surfaces and suspicious marks on the utensils. I wiped the utensils again with napkins to save my conscience.We ordered Pho, Bun Bo Hue and Banh Xeo. In my opinion, only Banh Xeo is good in flavors. Pho and Bun Bo were quite tasteless to me.Vegetarian options: Even salads contain meat. The vegetarian dishes here are very limited.Parking: Quite difficult to find an available spot for parking to be honest.Kid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and utensils

Great food, but there was some beeping noise coming from the kitchen that was annoying. Still highly recommend coming here.

I want to love Ben Tre. Their spring rolls are so delicious, anytime we were in South SF, I stopped here. However, I'm disturbed by their process and procedures in cleaning. As a person of Southeast Asian decent and have lived there, I get things can get messy. But I hit my limit and can no longer go because of the lack of cleanliness.The last time I was in Ben Tre, I saw mouse droppings on their selves!! Ben Tre has selves on the side of the restaurant , next to the booth type tables. I could not eat my food, I told my server and the manager. The bathrooms are always gross and the restaurant floor is always littered with junk. Not to mention, the utensil box hold does look grimy and dusty. CLEAN UP, I'm not willing to risk getting SICK!

Was visiting from out of town, and it was a cold, windy day, we were tired from visiting and walking around Golden Gate. As soon as we sat down, a friendly Aunty gave us the menu, and I ordered Crispy Noodles, Bo Kho (Beef Stew Noodle), and Combination Pho. The friendly Aunty said they don't have Crispy Noodles but recommended their Garlic Noodles instead with Pork Chop and Chicken. Oh man, it was GOOOOOD! The pork chop and chicken were slightly sweet and salty, with extra umami.Everything was perfectly seasoned, the beef stew noodle and the pho were hot, it warmed up my bones, and suddenly the outside wind wasn't a problem anymore.I had a scratchy throat before eating, but after eating, my scratchy throat went away!Delicious food. Very friendly and warm service from the Aunty who was our server (Did I mention the food was good? ?) and we ordered a garlic noodle and beef stew noodle to-go, to eat for breakfast after our long drive. 10/10 would eat here again. Good pricing too!Parking: Parking spots throughout the front of the stores like in Main Street America. But there's traffic to and from. You have to back out onto traffic.
