Bến Ngự Restaurant

1. The Bun Bo Hue was well-made with lots of ingredients! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes with lots of seatings! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with our orders! The following items came out in this order: drinks, BBH, and then the Banh It Ram! Note: There is a restroom available for customers!

We did a road trip from Nevada to LA and had been craving Vietnamese food the entire way. Ben Ngu (named after a place in Hue, Vietnam) really hit the spot! We ordered a few different dishes and everything was delicious. Just a heads up, the Banh It Ram takes a little longer to make, by the time it came out we were already full and ended up with a lot left over. Other than that, it was a great experience!

I went to Bến Ngự for breakfast and ordered the Mì Quảng Special. I wasn’t too impressed with the customer service when they greeted and took orders. As for the food, the portion was quite large—I couldn’t finish it. The meat and broth were decent, but the flavor wasn’t quite to my taste; I found it a bit too salty. However, I really enjoyed the side salad, which had a good balance of fresh veggies for the bowl. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean.

Come for a flavor packed meal! The flavors packed a punch on all the dishes we ordered. To try multiple things, we shared all three dishes family style. Pictured are: Banh beo dia, Banh it kep Banh ram, and Bun mit mam nem. My personal favorite was the vermicelli with jackfruit salad - had great flavor and a nice kick 🔥. Service was good and pretty quick!

Came here because this place keeps popping as ‘best or top rated Vietnamese restaurants.’ Food here isn’t bad, but this restaurant doesn’t belong on the list. I give them 3.8/5. No fuss easygoing typical Vietnamese service. Their prices are good and not overpriced like most places. I’m now skeptical of all these reviews if they are from relatives or friends.
