If you are looking for excellent Vietnamese food you can find it at Benley. My wife and I have been here a few times. We came here with another couple a week or two ago. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The other couple does not eat Gluten because one of them has Chrons disease. The very friendly waitress at Benley was able to provide safely handled, gluten-free, and reportedly great tasting food to both of them, while not limiting the options of those of us who do eat gluten. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food and service. The waitress remembers us from the last time we went and is the most friendly and attentive server ever. The green beans and the pho are amazing and always super hot and fresh. The curry is bomb too.

Great restaurant its a little small but very cozy theyre very very nice The Waitresses very attentive the atmosphere is very cool I would say that if you like Pho or you like noodles this is the place to come for sure. Today it was a little hot outside so I hadnt rice vermicelli and its kind of like a spring roll inside out and it was absolutely delicious I got the chicken and several other people got it you can get that in large or small. Also for the table we got fried green beans and they were just delicious with a nice hot sauce on it I cant say enough how good the food is if you have an opportunity to check it out check it out.

The owner greeted us immediately and made us feel at home. The service was quick. The pho, vermicelli, chicken cabbage salad, and Vietnamese iced tea were all excellent.

Delicious food! We arrived at the tail end of lunch time and I ordered the small pho with half a banh mi combo along with some egg rolls. Everything was tasty and the service was great! We were never left for wanting and our waitress was very kind.

What a great little gem. Very cozy restaurant hidden at the end of a strip mall. The ownership and staff have always been very friendly and attentive. They have an interesting variety of foods on the menu.While they have different Pho, this this is not just a place to grab Pho. If you dont want a full portion, you can grab a Taste of Pho (pictured), which is a 2/3 portion of their regular Pho. I also recommend trying the Cabbage Chicken Salad with Blanched Shallots. It has a crunchy oh, that slightly sweet and sour dressing that goes along with it. Its one of my favorites items to order. Their Rice Vermicellis are also good and I definitely their Spicy Green Beans which are very addictive. If you are vegetarian, they also have a few vegetarian dishes or Im sure they can make some of the other dishes into vegetarian if you ask.If youre in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine with a slightly unique flare, I recommend coming here.

If you are ever craving excellent Pho and would like some vegetable spring rolls, you must come to Benley Vietnamese kitchen! It is so refreshing.

Ive only tried the pho here so cant speak for anything else. While the broth and the noodle seemed good, there was way too little meat. The bowl looked very sad... Felt like 95% noodle and soup, 5% meat. With the similar price, other places give much more meat. We went to eat at 7pm and I finished my bowl, but before 11pm I was hungry again. The service was very good and this place is close to me, but unfortunately without improvement we wont be returning.

Shrimp and pork spring roll with sauce is soooo good! One of the best Ive had in a long time!

2023-01-31 02:59:34

Loved their curry soup always…tonight new server and perhaps new cooks…normally curry broth is loaded with spices and herbs and is almost thick and rich! I told server not same soup I won’t finish it! She offered nothing not a word! It was watered down!

The inside is nicely designed and small. However, there was a fly in my soup which turned off my appetite. I fished it out onto a plate and I notified the server and they took the plate and came back played it off as a leaf. I don’t think leaves have wings or legs, wanted to like this place but I just can’t when it’s like this. Also for two bowls of pho it was very pricey.

This place is amazing. We made it in time for the lunch special and it was incredible. I ordered the brisket pho and the Bahn mi. Usually at other places the proportions are way too much but this place had the right proportions. The pho wasnt big or small it was perfect and so was the Bahn mi. I highly recommend this place. The taste was incredible.

My favorite restaurant ever! They have my fav food (pho), and theirs is SO GOOD! You should really try it! I bet if you like a savory noodle soup, you would LOVE their amazing pho!

It is a great place, you will not find it, unless you go looking for it, it is tucked away in a corner. They serve Gluten Free Options and completely aware of the dietary restrictions. We ordered the Pho (Chicken, Beef and Vegan), and they were excellent. The pan seared Salmon was also perfect. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. They have a very regular clientele and were very full during lunch, most of the customers did not even need to look at the menu, they already knew what they wanted. I will definitely recommend this place and be back again.

Benley is one of my favorite restaurants in the area, they have phenomenal vegan and non vegan options. Its tucked back in the corner of the center, doesnt look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. My favorites are the Curry with Vermicelli, and the House vegetables with fried tofu. The owners and employees are so friendly, attentive and fast. Everything I have tried there is delicious.

The spicy green bean appetizer is everything former customers said it was only better. I had the rare beef pho and my wife had the chicken bun meal. Both of these dishes tasted great and were filling. We have been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and this one is the gold standard. Thanks for a great meal and relaxing evening.

This is one of my favorite places to eat when I want a quick healthy meal during my work week. Excellent food, excellent service, quiet, clean atmosphere. Dine in or take out. My favorite go to meals are the Lemongrass Spring Rolls and Chicken Pho! Yummy!

Review №22

2019-06-13 19:41:20

Restaurant was very nice. I ordered the Garlic Chicken wings and they were overcooked. The noodles in the shrimp and pork springrolls were overcooked. The beef and meatball pho was excellent. Appetizers not so great. I would go back again but only for the pho.

Review №23

2019-01-26 00:33:20

The chicken Pho was excellent and the rare beef Pho was standard but nothing to write home about. I would have rated 5 stars because we were happy with our experience, but it took the server 10+ minutes to bring us a menu after we sat down with only a few customers in the restaurant.

Review №24

2022-04-20 03:10:57

The pho is really good, the broth alone was tasty. The shrimo spring rolls were great tasting as well. Very good place for pho!

Pretty great place! Not like the traditional fast pho restaurants, but I appreciate the gluten-free menu at Benley. The servers seem to be very knowledgable about gluten ingredients in the sides also, a major plus! Of course the pho is great here and the vermicelli bowls. I also like the spring rolls.The best part: theyre located right next to a gluten free bakery. So you can get a GF-safe meal and dessert!

The lunch special was perfect! I ordered the tofu sandwich and beef Pho! And the iced coffee was fantastic! I’m definitely coming back here!

The prices fit the location, but the food is more Beverly Hills than Bellflower (actually Long Beach). The simple room is comfortable. We wanted to sample the offerings, so we ordered only from the small plates. The spicy green beans were a perfect starter followed by the house salad. The beef Taste of Pho was all we could manage after the pork spring rolls. Everything was excellent.

This place is in a strip mall but isnt like the usual whole in the wall vietnamese restaurants. Lunch specials are great. I had a bun and banh mi combo and it was really tasty! Just a little more Americanized then the traditional spots in OC.

Review №33

2019-08-07 20:36:44

The owners of this place must be the cheapest asians ever.I got a bowl of pho. No meat, tiny bit of noodle is all for $10.Not worth your money. Go somewhere else where they have got bowl full of meat, noodles, and even oxtail.They actually made me laugh. Haha

Review №34

2018-08-09 04:13:24

Review №36

2018-10-06 02:55:59

I got the beef pho with rare steak. Its a solid bowl of pho, but nothing stood out to me. The hoisin sauce is served in sriracha which wasnt a problem but is not my favorite method of doctoring up my pho.

Review №37

2017-01-04 09:28:40

DELICIOUS FRIED GREEN BEANS FOR APPETIZER!Cheap and tasty vegetarian Banh Mi but would prefer it to have more lemongrass in it.Would not re-order veggie special which was essentially just steamed broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots.

A family owned and operated vietnamese restaurant nestled at the easternmost end of the strip mall, Wardlow x Norwalk. Authentic vietnamese food with a fusion style of French cooking and Americana. Friendly crew and owner/chef.

Very good service. Super friendly and explained all the specials. I liked it more that you could have a mix of banh mi and pho. The bahn mi was exceptional. Crispy toasted French baguette with benley ham.
