Thanh Binh in Cambridge

The food was so great, we enjoy coming here every weekend. But there was only one thing that we not happy about. Its the women upstairs (who always playing with her phone), she was so rude and very hard to find her if we need something, always busy with her phone (maybe she is a boss 🫢🫢🫢) . When we finish the meal for a while, she still with her phone, the staff from downstair come to clean and ask us very gently. I think next time we will sit downstair for better service , or no paying service charge for the women upstair 🧐🧐Anw, I want to give them 4-5 stars and hope the women can improve her attitude to enhance the quality of the service here !!!

Tous les plats étaient goûteux, copieux et bien présentés. Très bon desserts également. Une très belle adresse. A noter : le restaurat ne sert pas de boissons alcoolisées mais on peut en amener!

Love this little gem! Don't forget to BYOB!

All dishes were tasty, plentiful and well presented. Very good desserts also. A very nice address. Please note: the restaurant does not serve alcoholic drinks but you can bring some!

Food was nice and authentic and the restaurant had a great ambience but was rushed to leave after around 75 minutes. Leaned slightly towards the expensive side especially given that service was not the best.

Off hand service and one of our meals was very poor. Super pricey prawn crackers and apparently it costs more if you want a little more of the tiny serving of sauce that they come with!

I had Quail as a starter. Was ok only. Wouldn't order it again. Main prawns with noodles but got served rice instead. They don't have alcohol there so they told us to go buy to the wine merchant. Which we did. For our surprise they charge £6 to cork the bottle .1st there is no cork. Service charge 10% which it's a bit a con. I ask to remove and waiter said why. I shouldn't have to explain myself . But when you pay £6 to go to a shop buy your own wine and they another £8 for non existent service. Simply wasn't impressed and I been to several Vietnamese restaurants including in Vietnam itself. We were on the basement and there was water coming through the floor boards not sure why. But wasn't raining either Overall Poor

emmm upon arrival i was told they didn’t have my booking, but the booking was confirmed by the restaurant over email…..maybe there was some miscommunication? also was asked to leave after an hour and half, being rushed to finish is the last thing i’d expect from a restaurant (plus i booked the table! otherwise really lovely food and place price wise, 2 spring rolls for £9.5 i think it’s something fine dining?

Beautiful meal in a lovely setting.

A lovely little spot to have dinner in, small, cosy and secluded from the din of the street despite being quite central (in a little nook just off of Magdalene Bridge). The dishes are all Vietnamese specialities, very fresh, delicious and perfectly sized (despite what some of the other reviews have stated, which gave my party a little bit of pause, we actually found the dishes to be more than large enough to feed a range of adults, although of course nowhere near as large as the sorts of plates one might expect to find in one of the innumerable local pubs). The drinks are limited to non-alcoholic options, as the restaurant doesn't hold a liquor licence, but they do offer per-person corkage for those who'd like to bring their own (which is especially convenient given that The Cambridge Wine Merchants is just off to the other side of the bridge, and open as long as Thanh Binh itself, so always easy to nip into beforehand; the only way it could possibly be any more convenient is if the restaurant also offered ice buckets to store the wine in, but in our case, even without, the staff were incredibly kind and simply offered to keep it stored in their fridge before our plates came out). The prices are fair for Cambridge (about £20 for a main, £10 for a starter or a dessert, £4 for a drink and £3 for corkage), especially given the freshness, range and sorts of ingredients needed to make the dishes and drinks (of which I would especially recommend the fresh juices, particularly the passion fruit which I thought was one of the absolute best I've ever had, quail with garlic on a bed of lettuce, prawn curry and duck curry, although I do also look forward to trying more options).

Food was tasty but accompanying dishes of nice and noodles very small and really had we ran out half way through the meal. We also asked for a little more dipping sauce with the starter as it was a tiny bowl. We discovered we had been charged an extra 1.50 when the bill came!!! Really!! At the end of the meal we were hurried out of the door even though the restaurants advertised closing time was 45 minutes later. We also brought wine with us and paid corkage but no ice buckets are supplied. Shame, if they were a bit more generous with cheap ingredients people may leave more contented

Only one of the waiters was super nice, all the other ones were just annoyingly rude . Extremely expensive, and food portions are ridiculous small. Chicken curry had like 3 small pieces of chicken.

Mediocre service. Excellent food.

Awesome service and food .We had black bean beef and a chicken veg dish

Portion sizes aren't massive so it doesn't work out the cheapest place to eat but food, service and atmosphere all fantastic.

Very friendly places the staff welcome you food was excellent 👍

Nice-ish food but tiny portions, exorbitant prices with very fatty meat.

1) horrible service - the staff is just plain rude 2) check the bill- they routinely over charge. Saw another review say the same thing! Ridiculous!

Hidden gem in Cambridge. Really tasty food with good range of choices. Great friendly efficient service. Beautiful environment with verdant plants everywhere. Had visited many years ago and this restaurant has been transformed since then and is now truly first class dining. Will definitely be visiting again.

Just go, absolutely brilliant food, note that it is BYOB with corkage of £3 per person.

Step into a beautiful peaceful sanctuary with lush green tropical planting, oxygenating and refreshing. Matched perfectly by the pristinely fresh food, made with so much love. This restaurant is a true hidden gem. Family owned and run by wonderful Victor & Thu, young, passionate, talented and devoted to their art, every mouthful of their exquisite food is delightful and authentic. We travel from the Peak District to Cambridge with lunch here ever the highlight of our trip.

Second visit to this restaurant - first visit was great, served by a young waiter at Saturday lunch-time, great food and no rush. Returned with a group of friends for Friday dinner. 6:30pm start, by 7:45pm the waitress attempted to rush our plates away even though there was food still on some of them. Very dismissive demeanour and lack of basic service skills. We shared desserts, again the waitress was very unpleasant when we requested extra spoons. We were close to finishing our meal, but the waitress brought our bill before we had even asked for it. We were certainly not close to exceeding our allotted table time. The food was great and otherwise the restaurant has a lot going for it, but we will not return if this same waitress is there again. In this instance our conclusion is the waitress showed a really obvious lack of basic training and a dismissive attitude to the diners, this really spoiled the night out.

food was really delicious and great service, friendly, knowledgeable and fast

Another great find as we were exploring the Cambridge town. With a modern setting and a bit of fusion touch to its dishes, the courses were well presented. Yet, authentic tastes of traditional Vietnamese cuisine is still evident in their cooking process. Not much has been adjusted to suit a more westernised taste bud. Fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, Beef Pho and duck curry are our recommendation.

We enjoy the flavour of all the food, it is very authentic and they display the food very elegantly but the portion was little and its much more expensive. My husband left not feeling full. I got the Vietnamese coffee and it wasn't what I expected, it didn't taste like it was filter at all... almost like it was instant coffee. I am a Vietnamese person who drinks this very often. The staff was welcoming and were very friendly. The atmosphere on the top floor is amazing with all the plants, the painting and decor if you like high ceiling, bright and airy space.

Lovely authentic tasting Thai food. Would definitely go again.

Food was brilliant. The atmosphere is lovely with all the plants although it is a little cramped in the top space sitting underneath the large plants. Staff were lovely but attention to detail was missing. Just little things like not giving us the right number of water glasses, not giving a spoon with a dessert etc.

Overall, close to Cambridge University. The price is 50% more expensive than ordinary restaurants, the quantity of dishes is 50% smaller, plus a 10% service charge. Just three dishes for 70 pounds. Not recommended

Food quite good, but shameless attempt to rip you off with the bill. I didn't recognise the 3rd item on a handwritten list of 8 or so items as something we had ordered and so queried it. I was told this was the service charge. So, amazingly, the restaurant had managed to calculate the service charge -- on the whole bill -- after writing down only the starters. Of course, in reality, they had sneaked the service charge into the middle of the bill in the hope that customers looking at the bottom line would not see a service charge and would add another one in. I may have gone back, but now, having seen this sharp practice, I certainly will not. Restaurants with dodgy practices do not deserve custom. There are plenty of other choices in Cambridge, such as La Margherita right next door.

We ate here because we really liked the green plant display in its window so decided to book. It has a downstairs as well which was a surprise from outside. Service was very nice and attentive. Food was delicious and came out well-presented. I also thought that it was fairly priced. Would recommend and we will definitely return.

If you want truly authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. We had the bun bo hue (spice beef noodle soup), which was absolutely incredible. They also do these incredibly tasty banh khot (mini prawn crispy pancakes). Their grilled pork with noodles, fresh spring rolls and desserts were also spot on. I honestly felt like I was transported back to Vietnam. Its a family run business and you can really tell by the love and care they put into their food.

This restaurant is perfect for an evening out in the city, as two locals, one of favourite places! Great atmosphere, delicious food and reasonably priced. The Mango Salad with Shrimp and Chargrilled BBQ Pork would be our recommended dishes!

Had an extremely frustrating experience with making a reservation at this restaurant and dealing with the staff (particularly the owner upon confrontation). Firstly, it is crucial to note that reservations made through their website are not considered valid. The owner consistently claimed ignorance about these reservations, despite the fact that this issue has been well documented in Google Reviews dating back two years. It is disappointing to see a lack of effort on their part to rectify this ongoing problem. Furthermore, the limited availability for phone reservations adds another layer of inconvenience. The restaurant only accepts calls during their specified serving hours, leaving customers in a bind if they need to reach them outside of that timeframe. This lack of accessibility only serves to compound the frustration associated with making a reservation. Even during their designated serving hours, communication with the staff proved to be a daunting task. They rarely pick up, and in times when they do, they appeared perpetually busy and were quick to hang up when difficulties arose, also conveniently shifting blame onto the customer. I personally experienced this dismissive behaviour when I confronted them about a promised return call that never materialised. Upon visiting the restaurant in person, I was met with rejection and accusations of aggression. The owner of the business stated it had only been 10 mins since she said she would call me back, when it had already been 30 mins. While I understand that waitressing is a busy job and lunch is a busy time, my urgency stemmed from my point 2 above, where it is impossible to call them up outside of serving hours. Their shift for lunch was ending soon, but my reservation for that night had still not been confirmed, and the owner failed to show any understanding or sympathy for the situation. Sadly, a quick glance at previous Google reviews confirms that I am not alone in encountering similar situations of such unprofessionalism and poor customer service. In light of my experience, I feel obliged to caution others when considering making reservations at this restaurant. The conduct of the staff is deeply frustrating and characterised by unsatisfactory responses, a consistent evasion of responsibility, and a strong inclination to shift blame back onto the customer, only serving to spoil what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. What is particularly disheartening is the owner's inability to differentiate between an unhappy customer and a rude one, something which I believe is at the base of working in the service industry. My conversation with the owner ended with her telling me that she did not want to see my face and to find somewhere else to eat, even refusing me for takeout despite making the effort to visit the restaurant in person to clarify their own reservation system issues. It's safe to say I will not be attempting to give business to this establishment any time soon (something probably of relief to the owner as well). Unfortunate as their Pho is one of the more authentic ones in Cambridge city. Be warned.

Best Vietnamese restaurant that I have found this side of Hué. I hadn't been in nearly 10 years and it is still as good as I remember. Fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere. Easily worth the trip from London.

Excellent food. Very good service.

Fabulous tasty food. Great starters and mains. Always love this restaurant and have never had a bad meal there. We had vegetarian spring rolls and mushroom pancakes for starters and a beef and duck curry for main course.

The food was just OK. Small, some might say mean portions that were not particularly tasty. The service, while efficient was not what you would call attentive. In addition, I ended up with powderised paint on my jacket from a damp wall in the basement room.

Looking forward to trying this lovely looking restaurant! But a disappointment… had spring rolls, very tasty, and soft shell crab which was small and over priced… main course chosen was not available, so decided on sliced duck with noodles, a delight and king prawns with rice… over priced, over cooked, at 3 prawns and a rice with some sauce… a shame all round! Will not be returning…

No review because we couldn’t get a meal because they are too computer inept to post a message saying we are closed for our holiday. Even Google maps entry still announces they are open!! Everyone deserves a holiday. However if you have a booking system on your www make sure it tells customers you are not there. My booking was taken via their www and advised a confirmation within 24 hours NOTHING arrived so I should have been suspicious. We went anyway only to find a scrap of paper on the door announcing "We are closed for holiday" !! This is 2023 in Cambridge city centre.

Always wanted to try this place because of the cool and many plants! We were sat down in the lower floor which was okay but smelled very much like soup/kitchen - which was right adjacent with an open door. The service was quick and very nice. We shared spring rolls as starter (£9) which were yumm but tiny and barely enough sauce for half a roll. I had the shrimp coconut bamboo curry and my partner the beef curry. Both dishes were incredibly tasty - but tiny and very overprized (£15-17). Like many others commented, I was still hungry after dining there. Even though I love Vietnamese food I don’t think I’ll go back because it is just brazenly overpriced.

No license, but the wine shop down the road has wine and beer and they only charge £3 corkage per person. The food is superb and the layout with beautiful plants gives it a homely feeling. Can't wait to go back.

Beautiful mom pop vietnamese restaurant decorated with lots of wonderful plants. Spring rolls, pork vermicelli, and dessert are all great & authentic. Atmosphere is quiet and wonderful. Ai Wei Wei dined next to us!!! No alcohol is served. So a great hack is to go to the Cambridge Wine Shop next door and get several good bottles of wine to enjoy at dinner. There is a corkage fee. The only complaint here is that because the door is often open and the restaurant is right next to the street, the traffic noise can be quite annoying.

First visit and very happy that they could cater for gluten free, one of is coeliac. Very friendly and good service. Food was good, starters particularly. Our only criticism was that our main courses were served before we finished our starters and our bill was presented before we’d finished eating, this was pre 10pm. Nice vibe but don’t like to be rushed, especially on a Friday evening.

Very nice family/homey atmosphere and the food was delicious….but pricey. Presentation of the food was nice but shame about the portion size for the price you are paying…..I was still hungry after so had to pop into McDonald’s to get a cheese burger. I would come back again if they make their meals worth the price.

The food was ok, and the service staff were nice, but it was very overpriced - spent more than £30/pp for a very simple dinner (plus 20% service charge). There is no WiFi in the restaurant, and the phone data doesn't work given its location. The worst part was that the card machine didn't work properly, and so I had to wait for more than 10 minutes in order to pay. Overall a below average experience, and if you take into account the price, it was very unpleasant.

The food here is excellent and the service very friendly.

Nice place. Great tasty food. Highly recommended.

Excellent food ... fragrant & complex flavours.

Amazing restaurant, my absolute favourite in Cambridge. The food is incredible, the venue is gorgeous and the owners are the nicest people. Do yourself a favour and visit!

Great food in a lovely peaceful restaurant just over Magdalen Bridge. Everything was beautifully presented and tasty in a lovely room decorated with amazing hanging plants. It was a real haven away from the tourist crowds. It’s BYO and only a minute from the Cambridge Wine Merchant - at only £3 corkage per person it helps keep the price down too. Delicious beef pho, morning glory and caramelised pork! Really enjoyed our meal here!

Really nice food, very relaxed and warm atmosphere. Staff are really helpful. Definitely going back.

Main course has the portion size of a normal starter. I don’t want to be rude, but a £20 main course tastes like a fish tank!

Front desk service was unpleasant and unacceptable.

First impressions are always important, and this place makes a great first impression with lovely plants, and a really beautiful environment. We went here for our anniversary, and we weren't disappointed. The food was fresh, delicious, and very unique. My wife is dairy, egg, and gluten free, but that was not an issue here as they could cater to it! The place was very busy but everything ran so smoothly. Thank you for a brilliant evening and we can't wait to revisit!

Having not tried Vietnamese food before we decided to give this restaurant a try. We knew before booking that they didnt have an alcohol licence but £3 per person corkage seems excessive to me. The food was lovely and beautifully presented. I would definately go again but watch out for the excessive service charge (which was already added to the bill ) which I would have been reluctant to pay because of the surly receptionist who looked bored all evening which was rather off putting. The waiter himself was ok though so we paid it anyway.

Good food taste and service but the portions were very small considering the price.. still feel hungry after a set of starter, main and dessert...

Fantastic food. Beautiful dining area Very warm though! Excellent service from the waiting staff.

Great restaurant, lovely food and service, everything perfect. Bit pricey but worth it for a treat. Support local authentic restaurants!

Nice food, small portions , the main element of the dish was not available, and we were given a poor alternative which lacked sauce and was not deep fried as per the menu. We were not satisfied with the dish, and the chef came out to argue that it was fine and was confrontational. It was very rude, and ruined our experience! It was not necessary at all! The worst service we’d ever come across.

Booked a table at 7pm with a confirmation email of booking. Walked into the restaurant and was being told need to wait for another 10 minutes. It was okay as I thought maybe the restaurant had a little problem finishing over with last customers. The waitress told us to wait outside even though there was wind blowing. Since my mother was feeling unwell I humbly asked the waitress whether we could possibly wait inside. There was a small table for two people that was clearly available and was not being reserved. My mum was sitting there and the waitress kept pushing my mum to go outside. I felt so stressed and I asked the waitress several times whether there is any possibility to just sit here for waiting. She said exactly the following sentence which I found extremely unfair “you three either sit in this small table or you go outside and waiting for five minutes. The funny thing is the “five minutes” in her mouth is actually thirty minutes as we waited until 7.30pm. She clearly did not realized there was any problem for letting the customer to wait and how her attitude was so pushy and inconsiderate without saying a single word of “sorry”. I have been to this restaurant multiple times in the past year, I had great food and service, except for this time. I understand being a waitress is tiring and tedious. But still, this time is a rather unpleasant and disappointing experience.

The pork rice was good but the duck egg noodles was very disappointing, way too sweet and strangely favoured. As asians, never eaten such devastating Vietnamese. We thought we were fair to waive the service fee which was 3 pound but the reception lady became really furious and treated us badly, very disrespectful to our opinions to their food.

Really nice Pho and nice service. Will definitely go there more often.

Awful Experience Ordered the Vietnam filter coffee with condensed milk. It’s nowhere near filter coffee and tastes like an instant coffee brand I drink often, so I asked the staff whether it is made from instant coffee and he insisted that it was filter coffee. But when I downed the whole cup, there was some undissolved instant coffee powder at the bottom of the cup. Up until that time, the waiter still insisted it was filter coffee. I therefore called the manager. Initially she said it was made from filter coffee, but upon being shown the undissolved clumps she started saying “Yes it is made from instant coffee but we have served this all along and all the rest of our customers had no problem with that. I don’t see where the problem is. It’s just what it is.” Oh come on, are you blaming your customer for being able to tell the difference? Seriously? Then, I pointed out to her that they shouldn’t sell it as Vietnam filter coffee and shouldn’t previously dismiss my complaint by insisting that it is filter coffee (because it is not!). She responded “well, you don’t tell me what to do. If you don’t like the coffee I refund you for the coffee and that’s it.“ I was really speechless at that point. It was the way the manager handled things that really disappointed me. As an Asian, I truly hate to speak ill of my culture and people, but they have let me down so badly.

I'm Vietnamese and this place is a shame. I invited 2 friends and we were very disappointed. The food is tasteless, the portion are ridiculuous.. and it's expensive (30+pounds/person) for a starter + main dish. It was so embarrassing that we left as fast as we could.. AVOID THIS PLACE

Great food and attention to detail. With staff being pleasant and helping with questions/suggestions when asked. Amazing beef pho, that is filling without leaving you feeling stodgy and has a great level of warmth, that can be adjusted with the sides of bean sprouts, herbs and chili sauce and hoisin, that worked great for dipping beef in. Only slight mark would be the downstairs seating/toilet, as it's in an older building, the ceiling is lower, so at 6'3 I had to duck slightly. Otherwise, would strongly recommend the dish and would go back to try more!

Thanh Binh is my very favourite restaurant in town. The food is extremely tasty and beautifully prepared. The proprietors' skill with plants adds to the calm and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Thanh Binh has some of the best food anywhere in Cambridge. However, they make it very difficult to get in there. I've used the online booking system which doesn't work so 3 meals I had planned were all cancelled! I only found out as I called in to check on my booking only to find out they didnt have it. Despite me calling several times and leaving messages and emailing. Again, the food is great but they really need to get the booking system working and follow up with customers bookings

Small and cosy restaurant. Great selection of food and quick service.

Very nice food - good subtle taste. Staff looked after us very well, including agreeing to 4 friends to join us at short notice. Slightly cramped interior but that's part of the atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Pretty good place for Pho around town. Would recommend eating in as the interior has a nice peaceful atmosphere. Competitive pricing, too.

Expensive and not really fine dining but boy is the spicy Pho amazing. The menu is quite limited and missing some of my favourites like Bun Xa, but the starters, spring rolls and crispy filled pancake were tasty and delicious if a little small in portion. The spicy pho tasted amazing but the non spicy version was less so. The plants and artwork in the restaurant were great. However whilst the food was good, it took a while to get our food whilst the restaurant wasn’t very busy and the price and portions didn’t feel good value. The quality of the food was good but didn’t scream ‘fine dining’ which the restaurant appeared to be targeted to.

Very authentic cuisine. Bring your own alcohol (corkage of £2 per bottle a bit cheeky - most places without licenses have free corkage). Food was delicious, service attentive. Portions good size.

Last evening four of us visited Thanh Binh after going to the wonderful Lucy Rie exhibition at Kettles Yard and a pre-prandial drink at the also excellent Pickerel pub by Magdalene Bridge. My wife and I used to go to Thanh Binh regularly when we lived in Chesterton, but hadn't been there for many years. It was always a favourite, but it has taken a quantum leap in quality. The four of us were all so happy with the food, service and value. The staff were lovely too. One thing though, it's BYO booze-wise, but you can get drink at the Cambridge Wine Merchants on the town side of Magdalene Bridge - another place I'd recommend. All in all, a fantastic evening.

A charming, family-run Vietnamese restaurant, with very kind and friendly service, warm and welcoming ambience, and delightful decor. Beautiful green plants in baskets and vases, arranged with much thought and care, create relaxing and uplifting atmosphere. Fantastic freshly cooked food. Every dish is very special. A great selection of duck, chicken, fish, and vegetarian dishes, all prepared with love, skill and care. An imaginative choice of juices and teas - I had a glass of freshly squeezed passion fruit juice, which was marvellous, and then a cup of chrysanthemum tea! If you are a wine drinker, do bring your own bottle - they absolutely don't mind. I shall definitely be back many times, with friends and family!

They lost our booking made us have a short sitting. An experance we will not be revisiting.

We visited on a Saturday night and the atmosphere was lovely as was the decor. It's not a large restaurant but beautifully decorated with lots of greenery. The food was served with a smile and was really delicious. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Only one thing let it down was the fact that it is on two floors joined by a steep spiral staircase. This was a bit of a hassle for an elderly member of our party. However, we will visit again.

Had often walked by and always looked tempting, so gave it a go and was so impressed with the whole experience, from the service to the exquisite flavours from the menu. That was earlier in 2022 and now enjoy going back regularly, the last time before Christmas 2022. Can't wait to go again.

Good small authentic restaurant. Excellent food but unfortunately on the evening I went not many of the starters were available.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, I had takeaway- but the restaurant had a great atmosphere when I picked it up, so looking forward to going back soon to eat in. Easily five stars.

Really good and surprising find. We were walking past it, the restaurant has a lot of plants in the window so I thought it was a florist and then I saw the menu. Very very tasty spring rolls and beef soup. We also had the seafood soup. Good big portion of soup and lots of flavour. Will definitely return when we are back in Cambridge.

First time visiting Thanh Binh, but it won't be our last. We went with friends on Saturday night and had tasty authentic food, with friendly fast service. All the flavours were amazing, I'd recommend that they introduce a tasting menu for those of us who are unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine. It's BYO, which suited us well as we could bring nice wine and not feel like we were being overcharged. We sat downstairs, that some reviewers don't like, but we thought is cosy rather than gloomy. I recommend a visit, it make look like a coffee shop, but its a real gem!

If we lived in Cambridge, I would come very often to this restaurant! We were drawn in by the decoration but what really impressed us was the delicate flavours and presentation , everything was cooked to perfection and the service staff were very polite. I don’t understand why people say it is overpriced as I consider the prices reasonable for the level of quality that arrives on your plate ! Would definitely recommend!

Much better than the other trendy "Vietnamese" restaurant in town. I've only ordered take-away, but the staff was very friendly, and the food was very good.

Had a WONDERFUL lunch here. Delicious fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. One of the best Phos I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff and very cute cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend

Me and my friend visited this cute restaurant a few week ago, I got a chicken curry and she got a duck one. Having tasted both, I preferred the chicken! Prices are acceptable, and the food was reasonably tasty (although not mind-blowing). The restaurant is fairly small but lovely decorated with lots of plants, and the staff was really friendly.

10 Dec 2022: 1* We have eaten in this restaurant a few times before. The previous experience was good. However, it was the worst experience and service we have this time. Prawns in creamy sauce: over-cooked prawns Chargrilled BBQ pork + rice noodles: hardly chargrilled Caramelized diced pork: pork was too dry. The worst was the service. We sat down and waited for more than 20 minutes before being "served". After we ordered the drink, starter and mains, we were not offered any glass of water. By the time the main courses served to us, our drinks or water still have not turned up. Thus, we chased it. Eventually, the drinks and water were served and then later on the stater came. July 2022: 4*: The best is the deep fried soft shell crab dressed with tamarind sauce. The deep fried quail served with garlic sauce is a bit dry although it is tasty. Rice flour pancake made with coconut cream and filled with king prawns, minced pork, bean sprouts and spring onion is average to me. Roast duck on a bed of egg noodles tastes good but the duck is a bit chewy. Braised beef is cooked well in coconut cream with the right balance of sweet, heat, peanut and coconut. Duck breast cooked in a very rich creamy curry sauce is good texture although some chewy ligaments. The sweet potato was nice and soft but not over cooked. 2020: Not often eat spicy food. Very tasty.

Beautiful Thanh Binh Cambridge, a great place to be with family or with friends.

I noticed that the average rating of reviews for this restaurant is 4 out of 5. That seems about right to me. The food is delicious (be warned about the Dorian ice cream though as it may not be to everyone’s taste- a bit like...

Delicious food, prepared to order by Victor the chef, so you may need to wait a little for your delicious food. The presentation is always stunning.

Nice place to have dinner with family.

Never tried Vietnamese food before so this was a first for us. There was a mix up with our booking - when I telephoned to check it was told the booking couldn’t be found. No matter they fitted us in with no problem. When we...

Delicious food, really interesting flavours, beautifully presented. Eating in a restaurant full of healthy and beautiful plants is great, and bringing your own wine makes fine dining affordable.

Great menu and variety. They were out of the quail unfortunately, but the duck choices filled that void superbly. The vegetarian dishes were fantastic as well. Parking for take away can be problematic, but worth the hassle for sure.

Great food and service. The Pho was very good!

ランチタイムに一人で行きましたが、一人では受け付けないと断られてしまいました。

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere.

Let’s start by saying this restaurant does not serve alcohol. You can bring your own if you really need to. On the whole the food was average the servings are small ( we left still feeling hungry) it small and noisy but the staff are attentive and friendly ,

Have been going here for years and the quality is always very high and the service fantastic. Family run with authentic food, a very good selection of genuine vietnamese dishes and also brilliant vegatarian and vegan options also. To note: the restaurant is BYOB (bring...
