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, all prepared fresh, with care, and quite perfectly sized (despite what some of the other reviews have stated, my colleagues and I actually found them to be more than large enough to feed a range of adults, although of course nowhere near as enormous 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 the restaurant does 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); the only way it could possibly be any more convenient is if the restaurant also offered ice buckets to store wine in (although, in our case, the staff were incredibly kind and simply offered to keep it stored in their fridge before our plates came out instead). 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 used (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; as well as the quail with garlic on a bed of lettuce, prawn curry, and duck curry).
