  Some of the most flavorful pho broth I've ever tasted! Is full of that multi-dimensional taste I look for in pho. Prices are very reasonable and service was quick. What more do you need? Will be going back tomorrow (working across the street from out of town) to porous the menu some more.

  It's hard to find good Pho outside of Mills50/Little Vietnam area.  And if those spots are your benchmark for good Pho, Pho Ben Thanh may be a bit of a disappointment.  If you crave Pho and can't make the drive near downtown Orlando, then this restaurant might be just enough to hit the spot for your vietnamese cravings.  
  
  Their pho has all the right freshness and properly cooked vegetables, noodles, and broth, but lacked the depth of flavor.  Their best dishes seem to be their grill options for their meats.  For my vegetarian friends, they have my favorite tofu lemongrass, but it's not quite prepared the same.  Their version is not fried with chilis, and the tofu seems like it was "pre-fried"  It comes in a combo with seaweed and soft tofu soup, which tasted like the miso soup you would get in Japanese restaurants.  
  
  The place doesn't seem to get busy, and they only had one server.  He is friendly enough, but not engaged in his interaction with the customers.  We had to ask for waters and utensils while our food came in various times.  They seem to get a good amount of takeout orders.
  
  Overall, my experience left me feeling very generic.  Nothing wow'd and nothing really disappointed.

  Delicious selection of Vietnamese cuisine in the Longwood area! My boyfriend and I are so happy we found this restaurant. As much as we love driving 25 minutes to the mills 50 area for Vietnamese good but we appreciate having a delicious local option as well. The pho here is DELICIOUS. The broth is so savory without being too greasy and the noodles are soft and chewy. The service was excellent as well and there is plenty of space for a large group. This is definitely a Longwood neighborhood gem and we can't wait to go back!

  Came here for lunch, and well, this restaurant was alright. They had a fan in the back kind of by the bathrooms, which was blowing in my directions, so I couldn't get over the smell of urine. The service was fine nothing bad or good to say about it.
  
  The pho' I ordered was actually pretty tasteful. The chilli sauce on the table looked like it had been there for quite some time, as it had crusted over the spoon. All was well until I found a green piece of a cleaning sponge in it, then I sort of lost my appetite. I didn't say anything, but I guess that is enough for me to not return.

  I came here on a Friday. It was not busy but still great place to come. The service was good. I usually go in my area in Mills for Vietnamese food but came here since it was by my friend's area. I ordered the Com Tho (fried rice with steak, calamari, shrimp and vegetables in a clay pot). The dish was very tasty. Definitely would come again for a less crowded Vietnamese restaurant. They offer Happy Hour which consist of $5 Pho. I am so happy to hear that they have happy hour.
