Banh Cuon Thanh Truc

This Vietnamese place is amazing food-wise. The location is in a small commercial front, in the middle of a not-so-posh area, very unassuming and if you are not looking for it, will be extremely easy to miss it. The ambience is very casual and simple but clean and neat so if you want to impress your companion look elsewhere, unless your companion is a foodie and cares about quality food. Weekday evening, not busy, our order was taken by a nice lady who brought us hot tea right away. Condiments were very fresh which is always a sign of everything else to come. We got rare beef phó and chicken phó, plus spring rolls as appetizer. The ratio meat-broth-noodles was well balanced. Phó have a rich, subtle flavor that fills your nostrils as well as your mouth. We didn't even chat over meals, we were so busy keeping our mouths busy. I finished with Viet hot coffee: Strong and nicely sweetened. The bill was very affordable and we barely could walk with such a big tummy. Next time we'll go for small bowls instead. In summary as a non-Vietnamese patron, the flavor was top notch, fresh and highly satisfying. Service was prompt and friendly. Facilities were clean, neat and simple, location is a bit industrial but reachable, prices are affordable. If all you want it to have a nice, healthy meal, Bahn Cuon Thanh is worth a try and regret-proofed.

We normally go to the other Banh Cuon place on St Clair but on Thursdays it’s closed so we tried this location for the first time. So this is where things get weird, where do I start because upon entering the restaurant you see a Mexican flag hanging out front with a banner for La Nayarita, and upon entry the server who was a Caucasian man told, us to sit on the right side of the restaurant for the Vietnamese menu, whereas the left side is for the Mexican menu, both my friend and my menu had slightly different prices on them. We ordered the Bánh Cuốn Đặc Biệt and Bánh Xèo which were big in portion size—however the bean sprout and veggies were lacking. The dishes were flavourful with a generous bowl of nước mắm and chopped chili. I’d wish they’d given me a wider variety of fresh herbs instead of just romaine lettuce and mint. Service was excruciatingly slow because it was only 2 cooks in the kitchen and the one man server. The bill with tax and tip came to $58 which is quite pricey. I’d come back again but maybe opt for take out instead.

Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in general in terms of quality and variety on the menu. With a rustic atmosphere I would come here once a month with new friends or anytime with old ones. I've been impressed with any options

Great place for Banh Cuon! The rice rolls are nice and thin, something that a lot of places don't get right. I ordered BC4, the special that includes Cha Lua (pork sausage), Cha Muc (squid sausage), and biscuit and it was very good. We had an order of snails in coconut milk, which was like a Thai green curry with snails. I don't recommend the chicken wings though, as they were not marinated well and overcooked. Their Vietnamese coffee was also delicious, highly recommend it! Staff were very friendly and there's some parking spaces out front. Overall a great experience here.

We ordered pho with rare beef and beef ball, pho with shrimp and crab imitation sticks. Love their broth and fresh ingredients. They also offer various sauce on the table. Reasonable price and good portion of food.

So, we attempted to eat here before, but on the first night we went, they must have finished a big party because when we came in, they said they were out of most foods. So we came back a second time. Luckily this time not busy at all. After ordering our food, i could see why this place ran out of food the first time. Yummy! If your in the mood for Vietnamese food, this is a must try place!

The first hint, why you should think twice is that the restaurant is half Mexican restaurant and half Vietnamese. After 8 pm, it becomes a Mexican restaurant. I ordered a traditional Bun with BBQ Chicken and Spring Rolls. The chicken does not taste like it has lemon grass and no pilled veggies. Made my own fish sauce since the one that came with it was hardly enough for the dish. In fact, this is the only Vietnamese food with chopped jalapeno served on the side. I gave it a 3 stars because they used a chicken breast but the spring rolls is not cruchy The food taste okay but its not a traditional Vietnamese Bun taste more like a fusion South American Vietnamese food.

The worker was very friendly and made good conversation. The food is okay - there could’ve been more meat in the rice rolls for the banh cuon. It is a little bit higher in price than other restaurants (a small bowl of pho is $10). I will also recommend to ask for the cold tea instead of the hot. The tea is very good!
